for one afternoon, how will you get ON a
week hence when you go away and miss me
altogether"
Beatrice spoke in a bantering tone, and
laughed as she spoke. but the laugh ended in
something like sigh. He looked at her for
a moment-iooked till she dropped her eyes
'Heaven only knowsI' he answered, sadly.

was eesy to trace their position Presently
they were nearly all clear-that is, the letters

She spoke idly and Godfrey answered her
idly, for neither were thinking of their words
Rather were they thinking OF the strange
chance that had brought them together in an
hour of deadly peril and now left them to-

they were wondering TO what end this had
come about. For, asaostics, atheists or be-

CHAPTER XIV.
DRIFTING.

On the day following their discussion on
the beach an accident happened which result
ed in Godfrey and Beatrice being more than
ever thrown in the company of each other.
During the previous week two cases of scar
latina had been reported among the school
children, and now it was found that the COM
plant had spread so much that it was neces-
sary to close the school, This meant, Of
course, that Beatrice had all her time upon
her hands. And so had Godfrey. 1t was
his custom to battle before breakfast, after
which he had nothing TO do for the rest of the
day Beatrice with little Effie also bathed
BEFORE breakfast from the ladies' bathing
place, quarter of mile Off. and sometimes
