'The second letter was dated only the
day before its receipt and stated that the
writer of the first was dead since very

the letter and package had been found.
BY an evident oversight they had not
been sent at the time of their preparing
but the loving tenderness of the surviv-

This is the way one woman extricated
herself and another from an embarrass-

woman's chaperonage came to her early

and the accidental encounter with some
sad old gossips under the same roof The
elder woman listened to the end. Then,

the other, bewildered.

vented the people on the beach from see
ing whether she had on a bathing skirt
or a ball dress.
Pretty soon people noticed her there
and wondered why she did not come in
The interested sun, tarrying as long as it
could, for there was no ladder on his side,
had at last to set, and it got colder and
colder. More people came on to the beach
to wonder. They did not think she was
hurt or in danger, for she made no out
cry, but it did not seem possible that any
body would voluntarily sit on wet raft
after sunset.
At last somebody saw the skirt swash-
ing around in the sand The girls and
matrons comprehended and giggled May
be some of them thought it served her
right for being able to swim so well. The
cause of the trouble was apparent, but
the remedy was not clear. 1t was very
cold by this time and nobody wanted to
swim out to the raft, even to rescue the
distressed one There was no boat handy,
and it looked for u time as if the best
swimmer at Santa Cruz would have to
roOst on the cold, wet raft until dark.
But the OCCASION as is customary with
crises, produced its hero. Addison Miz-
ner, in a new bathing suit, burst through
the wondering thrOng, seized the garment,
and plunged into the yeasty sea AS he
neared the raft the girl dived and swan
to meet him.
She got her skirt and the rest was
easy.

that he asked her to marry him as they
sat. Also that she refused. But he did
not get angry about it, He merely stood
up and said with a determination in his
voice that attracted the attention of peo-
pie near: Eyes YOU Will You'll have to
change your mind" But her answer was
a defiant though tautalizing grin, which
doubtless made the young man want to
kiss her. Then, the current of their
amusement having been merely inter
rupted by this episode they waded out
Suddenly the girl gave a Shrek that
frightened wave back out to sea. Then
she began wildly hopping on one foot to-
ward dry land. The young man hurried
to her side badly frightened, but as her
helpless foot emerged and he saw that
great crab had one of its toes in its gen
tie grasp, his anxious look changed to one
of high cunning.
''Take it Off" shrieked the girl
Not unless you promise to marry me-"
said the young man in firm voice.
II WON'T said the girl, with a wild
kick, but oh, Jack, take it o-f-fr
Never" said Jack.
Thereupon a portly old gentleman, who
had been made highly indignant by the
girls distress, stepped forward with a cold
look for Jack and a Let me take it off
for you" for the girl.
Jack jumped in front of him and said
earnestly: If you NEEDLE with that crab
III break you in two in the middle and
throw away the pieces. The portly gen
tleman withdrew. Then Jack turned to
the girl, who was still dancing on one foot
and emitting little shrieks. ''Unless you
promise to marry me I'll see to it that
that crab stays right where he is till he
dies of old age"
The girl gave him a brief look of re
proach between shrieks, and finally CUR
gled desperately; Take it Off I'll
marry you, or your grandfather, or any
body you say if you'll take il off"
Then he took it OFF. The crowd smiled,
and the young people are now among the
most loving Of MIR. Bradley's many loving
couples.
