Her white lids drew nearer and nearer
together, and she was half asleep even
as she watched Marion climb the bluff and
disappear within the cottage.
Some time later Marion Ellis came slow

The tide was going out with a great swirl,

get started. Where was Jean?
She could not see her in the boat until
she came quite up to it. All. yes, there
she was fast asleep; that was just like
her; she was nothing but an irresponsible
child. s&5
But the pretty face, with its wonderful
yellow hair and ohild-like innocence, did
not soften Marion Ellis-it but stirred her
to greater passion. She trembled and
grew pale.
The throbbing Of the sea filed her ears
with a suffocating sound, which seemed
to have become confused with the beating
Of her own heart. It seemed to her an
eternity that she stood there looking down
at the sleeping girl.
Then with a curious rafting sound in
her throat, like that which a snake makes
whom about to strike. she bent down, and
catching the little dory with both hands,
hurled 1t out into the surf. The ebb tide
caught that UP, n bore 1t on till 1t was

Of his yacht. Bluebird, about a mile away
he had seen the whole transaction.
The sky had become overcast, and he,
fearing nasty weather, was scanning the
shore through his glass when he saw Ma
rion ellis walk down the cliffs and hurl
the little boa into the water.
He could not conceive why she should
show such fury to a seemingly harmless
boat, for he had not seen its occupant,
but the wicked tragedy In her beautiful
face as the glass flashed 1t before his eyes
appalled, him.

Just as the yellow-haired girl rose to her
