between the stone posts at the end of
the driveway and went pounding
across the lawns and flower beds.
There was a sleepy looking clerk be-
hind the desk in the big hall No
body else was in sight, and the whole
outfit of empty chairs and scattered
newspapers had that lonesome look of
having been up all night. Oh, yes.
and there was a colored man hopping
the floor.
Hartley went up to the desk, leav-
ing muddy foot marks right where the
darby had been scrubbing.
Good morning." he says to the
clerk. DIR. Jordan of Providence is

The clerk put down the book he was
reading and looked us over. He done
it deliberate and chilly, same as hotel
clerks always do. If there's any one
mortal that can make the average man
feel like apologizing for living with
out license, it's slick, high-collared,
fancy shirt-hosomed hotel clerk.
"What?" says the clerk, frosty aad
slow.
Or. Jordan of Providence. Is he
here?"
His majesty looked at his book again
afore he answered. Then he put his
thumb between the pages to mark the
place and condescends to drawl out:
What do you want with him?"

The lane of deep water narrowed UP
ahead of us and there was kind OF
gate, as you might say, at the end
Hartley looked at ME and l at him.
Can you?" he asks. He was white
as paper, but not from being scared ]
was sure. His left arm hung down
straight and he kept rubbing it.

hurt?"
He didn't answer; just shook his
head. On went the Dora Bassett

doing her best to pull us through.
The gate was just in front of our
nose. l set my teeth and headed her
for the middle of it. A jiffy more, and
the crazy breakers jumped at us from
both sides. Their froth flew over us in
chunks. Then we was through, and l
fetched my first decent breath.
We was in a kind of pond now,
where we had elbow room.
Martin looked astern. Here comes

They kept on for ways, and then
they give it up. ran two or three
more of them lanes and then, when
l had'the chance, 1 dropped my main
sail and histed the jib. And with that
jib and the oar picked my way for
another spell, in and out and betwixt
and between. At last we slid past the
Wapatomac breakwater and up to the
wharf. A nico piece OF work for any
body's boat, If do say it.
Hartley seemed to think so, too, for

full. You're a wonder"

There was an early-bird lobsterman
on the wharf, come down to see how
many of his pots had gone adrift in
the night. He stood and stared at us.
God sakes!" says he. "Where'd
you come from?"
'Wellmouth," says I, making fast to
a ring bolt.

sloop. In this gale? Never in the

Poor Redny.

Hartley had climbed on the wharf
and now he was heading for the va
lage. / got the sloop fast, after a fash
ion, and then run over and caught up
with him. He was walking with long
steps and looking straight ahead. His
left fist was in the side pocket of his
jacket and his face was set and pale
under the tan. 1 happened to bump
into him as came alongside, and he
jumped and gave a little groan.
What's the matter with that arm
OF yours?" asked, anxious. He'd
stopped for second and was biting
his lips together.
Nothing" he says, short. Bruised
a little. l guess. Where's the hotel?''
up the main road a piece. That's
1t, on top of the hill"
Come on then" says he, walking
faster than ever.
We went through Wapatomac vii
