The lake steamer touched at Pine

a decidedly pretty young woman. who
carried q suitcase and umbrella.
Mona Fairlee walked down the long
pier to the shore. where the red
shingled roof Of the Bensons' summer
camp peeped through the surrounding
pine trees.
She reached the cottage and stood
amazed to discover that doors and
windows were closely suffered. Pine
camp had every appearance Of being
closed for the season, although 1t was
only the first Of August.
Something must have happened to
change the summer plans Of the Ben
sons, who were distant cousins OF
Mona.
What shall do?" asked Mona in
dismay, for there was no way of reach
ing the mainland except by boat.

might meet Dick at any moment.
Mona was growing hungry. She
walked discOnsolately down to the
strip of beach that bordere& the island.
On the western shore, where one had
q clear view of miles of unbroken wa

a circle Of stones. On the stones were

and white tenderness.
The afternoon wore on. Great clouds
piled up in the northwest, and there
was q distant grumble Of thunder.
Mona was afraid Of thunder storms.
There came a long, rumbling roll of
