Bewildered, he darted to the girls
side, with a shout, demanding to
know what was the matter. She
turned to him a face he hardly recog-
nized-but still he didn't understand.
The inevitable inference seemed q
thing unthinkable; his brain faltered
when asked to credit it. Only when
he saw her tearing frantically at the
painter, striving to cast it off and with
1t the dory towing a hundred feet or
80 astern, and when another wonder
ing glance had discovered the head
and shoulders Of Mr.. Barcus rising
over the stern of the dory as he strove
to lift himself out of the water-only
then did Alan begin to appreciate
what had happened.
Even so, it al with the feeling that
all the world and himself as we'll had
gone stark, raving mad, that he seized
the girl and, despite her struggles, tore
her away from the rail before she had
succeeded in unknotting the painter.
