THE UNKIND SEA
BY Stuart b. Stone.

The great, red sun of five de.
grees north came out of the
foam-capped sea and doomed al
the isle Of cocoanuts. Its first
slanting rays shot across the
heaving waters, pierced the broad
leaves of the palms and fell upon
a man and woman. The woman
awakened first, and, gazing out
at the restless sea, shivered. Then
her glance fell upon the man, and
her breast heaved; a becoming
pink stole into her cheeks and
her eyes glowed tenderly. Then
the man awakened, stretched lux
uriously and looked across at
the woman.
Can you make a cocoanut sal
ad or cocoanut frappe or baked,
stewed or fricaseed cocoanut?"
he asked. "If not, Pm afraid our
first island breakfast will be
plain cocoanut on the half-shell
with cocoa milk on the side."
The woman did not smile. 81
was thinking of that she said,
pointing out at the unquiet sea.
"Then DON'T" replied the man,
frowning. cts all over with
I'm hungry"
The woman shivered again.
"Are you sure-quite sure?"
"As sure as we're marooned on
a cannibal isle a thousand miles
from the gates of nowhere.
Didn't 1 see your husband cling
ing to a spar the size of broom
stick? Do you think he could
have lasted through that?"
Don't" cried the woman.
You're brutally calm about the
whole affair.""
The man arose and hurled
stones at the big, brown cocoa
nuts, dislodging several. May
be Pm not as calm as you think.
I'm sorry for poor Harry, of
course. but-well, you're mine
now"
"Yours!" she exclaimed. "Why

The man made an impatient
gesture. Certainly you were true
TO him. It's the first time I've
seen you since you married him

you been happy?"
She shook her head. shudder-

he said. She nodded.

A.-Why not give a watermel-

can cut out of water-color paper
and paint to represent melons.
The lettering should be done in
black ink. Use Japanes elanterns
and have refreshments pink and
green. II you have music, have
negro musicians dressed in pink
and green. If games are INDUCED
in. give prizes indicative of water
melons.

"a mani" she repeated, and
clenched his hand more tightly.
The speck on the sea grew lar
lger and larger until it became a
lstately ship heading straight for
the isle of cocoanuts. The speck
lat the rim of the water grew lar
ger until it became the figure of a
man crawling painfully along the
|rock-strewn beach. The woman
gave a quick gasp.
"Harryl Then he did not
drown!"
The crawling figure straight
ened and walked Imply toward
them. What are you doing here

treble.
The other man growled inaudi-
bly, in his throat. A boat, put
off from the big ship, had slipped
in and the crew beckoned. The
woman arose and took the hand
of the man who had crawled
along the beach.
Come she said, in a cold,
dead voice. I'VE are saved.
