 Early in the spring a lumber schoon- CT had been driven into the bay and upon a bar. She was so old and had been 50 badly strained that her cargo wassfaken away and she was stripped and left to rot. The hulk lay three miles from the nearest shore. MT. Ha- zen had never visited it. It was toward the wreck that the girl headed, and half an hour later the young man fol lowed suit, with speed unabated. If she was hiding behind the wreck he would dare her to come out and fight like man.
 Yes, the saucy girl was hiding. She had made up her mind that the other craft had the most speed and she re- fused to enter into race where de- feat awaited her. She was in the lee of the hulk. with her fish lines out, when she hard the boat bearing down It was coming at full speed and the young man was fussing desperately with theaswitches. Something stuck.
 The craft was headed straight for girls screams could be heard half mile away. Both occupants were thrown into the water, and both boats went to the bottom. If there was hero history has missed recording it. If there was a heroine she was too be- draggled to brag about it.

 "They gave me credit for 1t. Father has promised hundred times to bring you to dinner, but he forgets the social side. MT. Hazen, you are not a motor boat success.
