Settled a little, comprehended what
had happened.
Half buried in the debris of mini

a ragged break showed where the sand,
held together solely by beach grass,
had given way beneath the weight of
the antagonists.
A little distance from him the other
man was picking himself up, apparent
ly unhurt but completely surfeited.
Without delay, with not even so much
as a glance at Whitaker, he staggered
off for a few PAGES, then settled into
a heavy, numbering trot westward
along the beach. He did not wish the
woman to recognize him; therefore he
was putting himself out of her way,
For she was approaching.

CHAPTER XII.
The Mousetrap.

Late in the afternoon Of the same
day, Ember, appearing suddenly IN
front of the bungalow, discovered
Whitaker sitting up in state; a COM
Portable wicker chair supported his
body and a canvas-seated camp stool
one of his feet; which last was dis
creetly yelled in a dripping bath towel.
Otherwise he was fastidiously arrayed
In white flannels and, by his seraphic
smile and guileless expression, seemed
abnormally at peace with his circum-
stances.
Hating, Ember surveyed the spec
tacle with hooking disfavor.
"Hel-lOl" he observed, beginning to
draw off his gantlets as he assembled
the veranda steps and dropped into
another wicker chair. What the
deuce's the matter with you?"
Game leg, thanks. Twisted my
ankle again, this morning. Sum Fat

thusiasm, horse linfment and chopped

pretty rotten stupid time of it, with
that storm
ooh, not al ali. really enjoyed it"
Whitaker protested.
"Oh, If you forgive me for leaving
you alone SO much, Wen call 1t square"
EInber lifted his voice: "Sum Fat,
ahoy!"
The Chinaman appeared In the door
way, as suddenly and silently as Ii
magically materialized by the sound Of
bis name.

to know are either married and devot-
ed to brats, or divorced and devoted
to bridge; and my game has gone off
SO badly in six years that don't be-
long any E8ore."
She smiled, shaping her scarlet lips
deliciously. The soft, warm wind
whipped stray strands of hair, like
cords of gold, about her face. Her
eyelids were half lowered against the
intolerable splendor of the day. The
waters Of the bay, wind-blurred and
dark, seemed a shield of sapphire fash
Toned by nature solely to set off in
clear relief her ardent loYeliness.
Whitaker, noting how swiftly the
mainland shores were disclosing the
finer details of their beauty, could
have wished the bay ten times as wide.

Collecfor Pine Exnlains.

County collector Pine is not satisfied
with the report of the auditor who went
over the accounts of the different offices
of the county and in which he was
severe on the county collector
Mr.. Pine claims that the report was
greatly exaggerated and that politics
played large part in the investigation
and in the report. The collector does
not propose to rest under the imputa-
tons that have been cast upon the con-
duct of his Office and he says he will
have something to say on the subject
later on. He admits there we've some
errors but he says they were slight and
such as might be found in any Office
that handles SO much business as the
county collectors Office does annually.
Mr.. Pine issued statement, a part of
which was published Philadelphia pa :
per last week. In it he says:
THE larger proportion of the errors
noted are for very small amounts. The
larger amounts had been adjusted or
were in process of adjustment previous
to the audit and were explained and
shown to the auditor, who assured both
auditor Mcfarland and myself that
after the audit was completed the mat
ter of adjustments and corrections of er.
rors would be taken up with us, which
he evidently had no intention of doing
as he had evidently been instructed
otherwise by the chairman of the 8
nance committee. Our books were
practically in his custody during the en-
tire time of the audit, and in order t.
gain access to them we were Obliged t.
ask permission to use them temporarily
and were invariably told to return then
as quickly as possible. His so-calleC
audit of the other county offices wer,
confined merely to ascertaining if W,
had accounted for all funds RENTED Il
US by those officials. The specia
auditor commenced his operations abou
the same time the county auditor wa
completing his annual report which,
presume, was the cause of finding nu
merous checks, vouchers, etc., in hi
desk, pigeon holes, drawers, etc"
