and in less than an hour he had re-
stored her to her own.
One might imagine that when Du
rant had been overwhelmed with
thanks by the girl, by her mother and
by the whole Kentucky colony that
was houseboating along the Jersey
covert that would have ended the
episode. But Durant had to take it
into his head for some reason or other
to personally see that the houseboat,
which the Wolverine had lowed back
to Long Branch. was restored to it's
original moorings This task involved
innumerable trips over to the Ken
lucky colony. Then, after all, about a
month later when the troublesome old
tub was being lugged into the covert 1t
collapsed right under their noses.
The girl and Durant were sitting out
on the point when it foundered, and
without rhyme or reason they laughed
like two uprOariOusly happy children.
Why should they care If it did sink
now? They wouldn't have minded if
the whole old world had turned turtle.
Indeed, the universe might have col
lapsed and it would not have mat
tered, since they had become engaged.
Il suppose we ought to feel sorry to
see it CO." said Durant. ''for if it
hadn't been for that precious craft 1
should never have found you. my
sweet girl. and that beautiful love
light in your eyes" And he kissed her
face all over right in broad daylight
The girl smiled happily. frankly up
at him, and Durant. still looking at
her, commenced to realize what it was
that had been lacking in the social
meringue of which he was wearied
and how much more delightful it was
to have had the opportunity of striv-
ing for that essential instead Of hav-
ing it thrust on him.

and in less than no time they had her
aboard the Wolverine.
He wrapped her up in something
warm, and he made her eat and drink
some hot coffee Then the color came
back to her cheeks, and he noticed
how tremendously pretty she was.
After awhile she looked around on
the royal splendor of the dining sa-
loon. Walls, ceiling and furniture were
in mahogany heavily carved in heral-
die designs. There was a profusion of
ornate silver, cut glass decanters rang

Durant, who was sitting easily at
one end of the table, watched the girl
amusedly. But the girl was not one
bit amused. She suddenly fastened her
big, dark eyes on him, backed away
hurriedly and asked:
"Are you pirate"
Durant wanted to shout, but he saw
that she wouldn't understand, so he
merely smiled and explained that he

A sense Of immense desolation set
tied over the Wolverine. Supper was
eaten dispiritedly, and the crew idled
around in no mood for talking Durant,
who was again clean and clothed,
smoked and paced and fumed from
one end Of the yacht to the other,
thinking Of the distress Of the girl and
the anguish of her friends back on the
shore. Every little while he swore be-

For five hours they drifted and dur

some dying demon, to be answered by
other befogged, floundering water
craft equally as desolate. Occasionally
the warning notes of a bell buoy rang
out dolefully, apprising them that they
were not entirely beyond the reach of
the harbor. Durant wondered if the
houseboat were still floating or if
some transatlantic leviathan had blind
~ crashed into it and sunk it. And
the girl-what of her?
About 10 o'clock everybody started
to his feet-every man aboard had
been instituted as a lookout-and there
was a noisy, glad rushing around. The

others that had decided to pause rath

When Larned in manipulating the
searchlight caught the houseboat in its

clinging dejectedly to the roof, was
plainly observable.
She wasn't at all the Amazonian

CHINESE COLLEGE INTRODUCES
EDUCATION IN FORESTRY.

China, often called the most back.
ward Of nations in the care Of natural
resources, is to be the scene of a Wig
orous campaign in the interests of the
forests, according to plans for a Sc
ries Of meetings which viii be held
under the auspices of Boone College,
Wuchang, China, at Hankhow, W.
chang, and Hanyang. Later there will
be meetings in all the large cities and
important ports both on the coast and
in the interior. Mr.. Howard Rich
ards, Jr., the representative In this
country of the Chinese college, has
been collecting material for these
courses. and has just started to Chi
ma. Several of the photographs show
ing the effect of deforestation in Chi
ma, which accompanied the Presidents
last annual message to Congress, form
a part Of a set Of stereopticon views
which viii be used in illustrating
these lectures.
China has probably taken less care
of her, forests than any other nation
Of the earth. and this movement to
awaken in its people a realization Of
the Importance of the forest comes at
an opportune time. Many parts Of
China are practically desert wastes as
direct result Of the destruction Of its
trees. On account Of the erosion
which has followed the removal of
trees from the slopes, farmers are
compelled to terrace their hillsides,
in order to hold enough soil in place
for farming, and to build little walls
across the valleys to catch the silt
which the annual floods deposit. Two
centuries ago, many regions Of China
which are now barren. were paying
revenue to their owners. Now the
wood supply is so scarce that little
poles are used for building houses.
and roots and saplings are burned as
fuel
Over three hundred Chinese stud
ents from eleven provinces are being
educated in Boone College for the up
lift Of their country, and it is expect
ed by those in charge of the proposed
course Of lectures. that a movement
stared there win in time spread
throughout the Empire.
