TO-DAY'S lNSTALLMENT.

I'm Zurich-in the olden days"
began Inky-and then there was
whirlwind of pillows and imprcca
tons that woke the men who had
been acting like nothing in this world
so much as peevish boys.
I'm a HI of a peacemaker!" ex-
claimed Nevil Ingraham-while Tom
and Packy went down below to see
what luck they would have with the
closed doors.
II say, old girl say Carrie this
this is all NONSENSE swear to you
I'm entirely innocent this time"
was Packy's plea-but Tom only
wrote a brief note and tucked it under
Racie's door. Young love knows high
pride-and there seemed little hope
that either Racie or Tom would meet
the other half way.
And since the doors remained OBJ
stinately shut. the men tptoed away
at last, baffled.
Then Emily's door opened cautious
ly and blue wrapper topped by
head in curl papers poked it's way
cautiously out.
Whats that" asked a brown
wadded bath robe; and Carrie Pack
ard came out to join Emily.
"Only me. Aren't you nearly
starved, Carrier"
mo, / couldn't eat I'm being
eaten, though by mosquitoes. Where
are the menu
Somewhere on deck. But, Carrie
| where is-she?"
His Note.
I'm there, I suppose. She couldn't
leave before daylight" said Carrie.
And while they were engaged In
their speculations Racic had found
Toms little note and was reading 1t
| with saddended eyes that saw some Of
the facts OF life she had not learned
at any school but life's own
This Is the second time you've
| bolted the door against me: there
| won't be any third time, Tom
Racie stood silent a moment, with
that note in her hand. Emily Frost
| had fallen on a saucer of applesau g,
and between spoonfuls she asked Car
rie, the leader of her class, for advice.
"Carrie-what are you going to do?'
"As soon as it's light. get some II
| the sailors to row me ashore. 1t
doesn't take long TO get home from
New London"
Emily Frost stiffened-she replaced
the empty saucer-and tried one OF
| rich yellow custard Go home and
| leave Charles on the boat with that
woman? Never!"
"Emily-don't be goose Don't
you know she won't stay after we go?
| The boat is the very safest place you
could leave Charlie now"
| And after you're home, Carrie,
what them" asked Racie, Itimldly.
| That's not so easy-but l think ]
shall call on my lawyers"
| Racie was frighten- j--and sat on
| TIE center seat twisting the note IN
her fingers.
| i've done lot II thinking be
tw cen fighting mosquito es-and I've
come to the conclusion that there S
Ia, use in half measures Packy and
I've been as good as divorced this
| long while ."
| LAS bad as divorced, you mean, Car
rie." amended Emily
| IF you like WelI-it's no
use side stepping facts. I've realized
! at last that I'm not the sort of a wom-
an who is likely to hold Packy-and
so why should / go on trying to keep
him hitched up when he wants to
break away"
| Em.ly swallowed a riouthful Of Gus
tard hastily. 'Why? Because it's good
for him"
Have you found much satisfaction
In being good for your husband, EN-
ily?"
! 1--WE had the comfort of knowing
| that I've done my duty by him" said
| Emily, with relish-though whether
Of the custard or of her own fine IA
vor of virtue it would have been hard
to guess. -,
