the awninged shade at the stern OF the
boat was soon running through them.
The others had gone below, where
Percival was allotting staterooms, and
urging every one to order whatever
cold stun you like and get into as few
things as the law allows. For my part,
I'd like to wear nothing but a cold
bath"
Mrs. Drelmer suddenly betrayed signs
OF excitement. She sat up straight in
the wicker deck chair, glanced down a
column OF her newspaper, and then
looked up.
Mauburn's head appeared out OF the
cabins gloom. He was still speaking
to some one below. Mrs. Drelmer rat

He came up the stairs.

Read it!'
He took the paper and glanced at the
headlines.
Il knew she'd do 1t. A chap always
comes up with something Of that sort,
and was beginning to feel so chippy!"
He read:

Heath and the British turf by the

Mauburn was pale under his freckles.

Il don't think So" she answered.

want to be sneaky, you know"
Percival came up from the cabin
with paper in his hand.

smiling "Burman just handed me
this"
Isn't it perfectly disreputable!" ex-

Why? only hope I'll have as
much interest in life by the time I'm

But how will your sister take it?''
asked Mauburn; "she may be afraid
this will knock my title on the head

"Oh, l see" said Percival; II hadn't
thought OF that"
