! they were communicating. in the
very face of his prohibition; but the
| situation was grave Mr.. Cuthbert
may have presented an undignit1ed
appearance rolling down the dune,
/ but he was a man of character and
determination.
His opposition to Philip Dunbar's
suit had hitherto been of a passive,
lrather than active kind. He did not
want anybody to carry off his niece;
and being her legal guardian, and
usually kind and loving one, ne had
a right to some say in the matter
1t was evident now, by the concen-
trated disgust with which he was
surveying the young man, that hence
forth he would associate him in his
own mind with the days unfortunate
accident, and that his attitude would
be one of positive hostility.
"You will oblige me, finished
Mr.. Cuthhert, "by never addressing
either myself or Miss cuthbert again
on any pretext whatever. :.
He turned his back and taking the
startled Emily's arm again, strobe
of, leaving the young man gazing
after them very genuinely troubled.
Suddenly an Illuminating idea
flashed upon Philip Dunbar. He
sprang hastily after the retreating
pair.
mr. cuthbert, he called, wait

The shear audacity of this, made
Thomas CUthbert stop and turn
around.
Il am coming to address you again,
Mr.. Cuthbert, after we get back to
town, and you will see me, and listen
to what / have to say: that's all.
He waved his hand in token that
he had finished, thereby causing Mr..
Cuthbert to become apopleetic once
more.
He kept his word. one afternoon
in February he visited Mr.. Cuthbert's
place OF business and sent in his
name receiving, as he had expected,
message to the effect that Mr.. Cuth-
bert would see him further before he
would see him at all
Whereupon he played his trump
card.
Take this in. please, to Mr.. Cuth-
BERT he said to the meek stenog-
rapher, ''and tell him that am still
waiting"
The stenographer disappeared,

Robinson was unaware that she had
appraised his own perfect physique
and thick golden hair before decid-
ing upon the particular spot of sand
upon which to enSconce herself.
That she was utterly bored i'm
pressed itself upon Robinson as he
watched her eyes rowing about from
one direction to another, as if seek
ing something to captivate them.
Finally that level gaze shot directly
into Robinson's own eyes. She look
ed away, but the rowing seemed to
have stopped. She began to play
with the sand, as do all sun bathers.
Robinson's boredom had vanished:
he watched with the utmost facina-
ton every movement Of the girl be-
side him. Her hair was spun copper
and blew maddeningly near her thick,
dark lashes and her lips rivaled the
scarlet of her sun-shade. Annoyed
by the confinement Of her gloves, she
pulled them off and settled herself to
more thorough enjoyment of the
sand.
Then it was that the day
grew darker for Robinson. She was
married! Al sparkling diamond as
we'll as the band of proprietorship
shone on her hand.
Robinson interest in the girl fad
ed. He turned over to his other side
and decided dismally that all the most
charming girls had been inveigled
into the matrimonial state. The girl
with the red parasol was no doubt
married to some awful creature from
whom she had escaped, for a day s
freedom, to the beach.
Robinson did not intend to look at
her again before going to his bath.

with wistful eyes. He turned alb

He stalked to his bathhouse and
flung on his white hannels with a
haste that quite undid the cooling
effect of his dip. Robinson was in
censed; much more so than the slight
occurrence warranted.
When he arrived on the board
walk he seemed to see 100 red para
soils, all hobbing in different direc-
tions, He refused to glance. under

pulled out in the evening with him
on board he had a feeling of relief as
| well as one OF Disappointment that
he had not again seen the little lady.
| The chilly night wind sent every
one below save a few scattered
j couples. Robinson found for himself
sheltered nook ON the upper deck
and lighted his pipe. Presently he
heard the CHATTER Of voices, close to
| him. There seemed to be three of them,
two girls and man. They began to
sing-all the old songs that Robin
son was fond Of and knew SO well.

moment later the stout man rose on
the crest of the dune that formed the
opposite rim of the gully before them.
He was apparently too much out Of
breath to speak, but his face turned
shade more purple, if possible, at
sight of the young man.
Both the young people had risen to
their feet. The stout man started
along the crumbling edge of the dune
for the descent was much too steep to
attempt from where he stood He
looked over at the couple opposite
him, scowling, and that look was
his undoing, for whoever walks on
the knife-edge of dune must look
strictly to his going.
His foot slipped, the sand sliding
away from under him. He swayed
wildly, made desperate lunge to re-
cover his balance, caught his toe in a
twist OF root and began the descent

said Thanks for dragging me from

.'Let me introduce my wife and my

Robinson acknowledged the bows
of the ladies and sat down, he hoped,
by the sister. Everly's sweeping in
PRODUCTION had been vague in the
darkness. And, too, he had noticed
that the one sitting beside Everly was
digging holes in the deck with q par

to get a look at the girls face.
