CHAPTER XVIII.

MN moment we were hurrying along
 the street in the direction the nota, \ " had pointed out to us. Martigny
 was already out of sight, and we had need of haste. My head was an a whirl So Frances Holladay was not really the daughter of the dead million aire! The thought compelled a con- plete readjustment of my point of view.
 We had reached the beach again. and we turned along it in the direction of the cliffs. Far ahead saw a man hur- rying in the same direction. I could guess at what agony and danger to himself. The path began to ascend. and we panted up it to the grassy down which seemed to stretch for miles and miles to the northward. Right before us was little wood, in the midst of which I caught a glimpse of a farmhouse.
 We ran toward it. through a gate and up the path to the door. It was closed. but we heard from within a mans ex- cited voice. a resonant voice which [ knew well. I tried the door. It yield ed, and we stepped into the hall The voice came from the room at the right. It was no time for hesitation. We sprang to the door and entered.
 Martigny was standing in the middle of the floor, fairly foaming at the mouth. shrieking out commands and imprecations at two women who COW cred in the farther corner. The elder one I knew at a glance; the younger my heart leaped as looked at her was it Miss Holladay7 No, yet strange ly like.
 He saw their startled eyes turn past him to us and swung sharply round. For an instant he stood poised like a serpent about to strike; then I saw his eyes fix in a frightful stare. his face turned livid. and with a strangled cry he fell back and down. Together we lifted him to the low window seat. pur- suers and pursued alike. lOOsened his collar. chafed his hands, bathed his temples. did everything we could think of doing but he lay there staring at the ceiling with clinched teeth. At last Royce bent and laid his ear against bis breast

Nurturins a cheerful Spirit.

Lucky was the patient in Cedaryille
who could secure the services Of Aunty
Bond as his nurse. but he must make
up his mind that while all his wants
would receive due attention and he
would have a fair amount of coddling
there were some things in which he
could not count on having his own way.
Now. you just take that look eff
your face. won't you?" she half coaxed,
half commanded a man who was re-
covering from pneumonia. You aren't
half as sick as you were a mouth ago.
Let your thoughts dwell on that. and
let 'em dwell on this: There's lots o
folks outdoors a-falling from the tops
O. buildings and a-getting run into and
over by automobiles and contraptions
Of all sorts. besides those that are
yielding to temptation O. various kinds
and being sent to jail and then to states
prison. And while all these dreadful
things are going on outside. what is
happening to you? You are getting
well ut home. lin peace and plenty, and.
what's more. in as handsome walnut
bedstead as there is in all Cedarvil'e.
You let your mind dwell on these
things minute, and then you turn
over al d go to Sleep

When the Life Savers Work Begins.
After the last summer visitor has
gone and the little craft that sail over
the shallow bay have been hauled up
high and dry. the pavilions deserted
and the bathing houses boarded up. the
beaches take on 4 new aspect. The sun
shines with cold CLEAN. and the surf
has an angry snarl to it as it surges up
the sandy slopes and then recedeS,
dragging the pebbles after it with a
rafting sound. The outer line of sand
bars that in the summer breaks the
blue sea into sunny ripples and fash
ing whitecaps then churns the water
into fury and grips with a mighty hold
the keel of any vessel that is unlucky
enough to be driven on them. When
the keen winter winds whip through
the beach grasses on the dunes and
throw spiteful handfuls Of cutting
sand and spray, when the great waves
pound the beach and the crested tops
are blown off into vapor. then the life
saver patrolling the beach must be
most yigilant.- From Stories of In
ventors," by Russell Doubleday.

THE PECULIAR LOON.
This Eird Has a Hide Abolt as Tough
as That of an Ok.

as That of an Ok.
The loon differs from other birds in
number of ways. | have reason to
think that many people are unaware
of some at least of these peculiafities.
The loon has u hide as tough as an OK,
and its feathers cannot be pluckeu
without first scalding the bird as YOU
would q hog. This incident will give
some idea of the tOugllness of the hide:
About thirty five years ago, when l
was living in Michigan, a loon was
shot at with shotgun industriousiy
all summer without apparently doing
him any harm. In the fall | killed him
with 4 rifle just to convince the people
that loon could be shot and killed.
He had many times been Shot at with
a rite by the same people who had
used the shotgun, and they had become
convinced that he diyed so quickly that
he lodged the shot in that way. | had
seen them shoot mt him Il number OF
times, and l could see the splash of
bullet or shot i'll the water before the
loon dived. | ridiculed the idea of the
lodging, and that led TO my shooting
him to support my contention. When |
skinned the bird | found and counted
over hundred No. 8 shot, all of them
stuck to the inside of the hide and so
doing him no permanent harm. 1t is
remarkable that he was never hit in
the eye nor sustained broken wing.
Another thing peculiar to the loon is
that after the chicks are Matched, if the
mother wishes TO move far. she will
make shallow dive and come up I'M
der her babies and swim off with them
on her back. The person that succeeds
in photographing her under such condi
tons may well claim the pennant On
~ once have | seen loon shoulder her
young, although for over twenty years
lived in the part of Michigan where
then there was the best chance ilnagi
nable to watch looms. Now the timber
has been cut Off around most of the
lakes, and such favorable conditions
for observation no longer exist.
Although l have only once seen a
loon soulder her babiei, | Lave seen
her swimming with them on her back
many times. Once one swan within
twenty feet of me and never suspected
my presence.
One of their calls when sitting on the
water for volume beats that of any
other bird or beast that l know of.
have heard them in the night when
they We're more than five miles distant
for they only make that kind of call
from the water, and there was no lake
in that direction short of that distance
To say that the loon is a very interest
ing bird is as mild as can express it.
