companions demeanor. At the very doors
of the bathing house she became sedate
young woman, oblivious to the rivers cool

She spoke almost under her breath, and
l caught a glimpse of her profile. She was
white, her firm little chin trembling In
stinctivelv looked where she was looking,
and understood. A woman, blond, magnif-
cent, with full, fine figure and beautiful,
soulless face, was hesitating on the edge of
the float while a man laughed up at her
from the water, teasing her to make the
plunge The man, athletic, graceful, was
Tony Ware, and even as | gasped at the
situation Miss Lee had turned and seen
my face. She was a game youngster. In
moment she was at the desk selecting a
fresh, new bathing suit, rejecting cap,
accepting a key from the attendant.
Ten minutes later we were together in
the pool, l having confessed my incompe-
tence as to deep water. The fresh tide
against my body felt delightful As l

they were both far out beyond the safety ropes

methods as open mans or, the other hand,

of subtle pursuit and subter trickery. We all
know the most effective way to fight fire. and who it is
