CHAPTER x-contInued.


The man told the story of Florence's
leap into the sea and her subsequent
arrival at the cape.
That's funny" said the stranger,
Il don't recollect reading about any
young woman being lost at sea. But
those big liners are always keeping
such things under cover. Hoodoos the
ship. they say, and turns prospective
passengers to other lines. II hurts
business. What's the young girl look
like?"
Florence was described infinitely. The
stranger teetered In his chair and
smoked. Finally he spoke.
'She probably was insane. That's
the way generally with insane people.
They can't see water or look OF a

got the thing figured pretty close to

wife. But nowadays q policy IL not

He honestly enjoyed swimming.
Early the next morning he was in the
water, frolicking about az playfully as
. boy. He had all. the time in the
world. Over his shoulder he saw two
women wandering down toward the
beach. Deeper he went. farther out.
He was bold swimmer. but that did
not prevent q sudden and violent attack
Of cramps. And It was rare piece
Of irony that the poor girl should save
the life OF that scoundrel who was
without pity or mercy. As she saw

brow. But she could not figure out the
