and they sailed, and they sailed Right
across the little pond they went, and
toward a little island that was in the
middle. e
Then, all at once, Just as quick as
lyou can put coal on the fire, some
thing happened. There came a strong
puff of wind, and Jennie Chipmunk' g
ship blew over, and she fell right in
the water. .,l
ooh. save me! Save mel" she cried,
and she was so frightened that she
smiled her mouth would have gotten

ME helped put Billie on his boat and
there they all three were on the one
piece of bark, and I guess you're glad

Well, they all three held up their
tails and the wind blew them along,
and then, would you believe me, what
happened but the breeze got so
strong that 1t tipped that piece Of
bark over and there they all were
floundering about in the water and
no other boat near at hand to save
them. Oh, how awfully> wet and
frightened they were, and, you know,
it's quite serious to be wet and fright
ened at the same time.
Swim for the island! Swim for the
island!" cried Johnnie, and, sure
enough, they all did, for it was not
very far off, They crawled out on the
land, just as wet as when Kittfe falls
in the bathtub, and Billie said, with
his teeth chattering: Nov, s'pose
we're shipwrecked, aren't we?" His

IOWA GIRL WITH

Iowa City, Dec. 30."Merry Christ.
mas. All is WELL" was the substance
of the short cablegram from Miss
Helen Heberling, woman delegate
from the University Of Iowa with the
Henry Ford peace party, to relatives
in Iowa City. The message was sent
from Stockholm.
Whether the "All is well'' in the
message refers to Miss Heberling's
own personal condition, or whether 1t
refers to the party In general can
scarcely be told. Certain it is that
there is no reference to the storms
and stresses that have pervaded the
peace party according to newspaper
reports.

She did not return his smile, but her
blue eyes were dark and shining.
She evaded him the rest Of the
evening and he was compelled to go
home looking forward to the morrow
when he could take her in his arms
once more. Before he slept that night
he sent telegram to Ned Henderson,
in Chicago:
Discovered Miss Hollyhocks. En-
gagged. Congratulate me-
But morning brought its perplexi-
ttes-a letter from Dorothy Coleman,
q piteous, tear-stained letter which
he read with amazed unbelief.
He said that Ned Henderson had
told her Newton had vowed to marry
Miss Hollyhocks; so she had posed as
Miss Hollyhocks in the library know
ing that he would believe her to be
the original of his painting and the
whole thing mere trick of fate.
But she could not carry out the de-
ception. She made this shamed con-
fession and said she would rather not
see him again.
For long time Newton sat star
ing at the fire; then suddenly he
went to the painting of Miss Holly
hooks and began to paint feverishly.
Then he telephoned Mrs. Coleman
and asked her to bring Dorothy to
the studio. "And please, like the an
gel you are," he added, give us a
moment alone"
She laughed and promised.
1t was nearly noon when his Jap
anese servant admitted them to the
long, dim room. Dorothy came in re-
luctently, her face almost hidden by
white motor veil.
81 had hard work to get this child
here;' said Mrs. Coleman. "She
pleaded headache. but told her the
air would do her good. Now, want
to look over my shopping list for a
moment"
She turned to distant window and
considerably turned her back. New
ton took Dorothy's hand and led her
to the picture on the easel. Miss
Hollyhocks still stood there, but her
sunbonnet had fallen back on her
shoulders and her profile was Doro'
thy's own, with the ripple Of red.
brown hair edging the temple.
What have you done?" she whis-
pered.
He drew her closer SO that she
leaned against his broad shoulder.

II painted In the face that is al
ways in my heart - yours, Dorothy.
You are Miss Hollyhocks-no one else
could be, for must keep my vow
and at the same time marry you
And when Ned Henderson was
asked to be Wade's best man he
chuckled gleefully.

she did not know it. Wade was not
sure of it himself, for his girl Of the
hollyhocks intruded her mysterious
personality everytime confession
lowered on the tip of Wade's tongue.
OF course this uncertainty of mind
made him quite wretched. There
were times when he vowed he would
marry the girl of the hollyhocks and
no Wher. But when Dorothy was
near Ne thought of no one save her.
"Dorathy is in the library, Mr..
Newton said Mrs. Coleman as she
greeted the painter. "She wanted
me to send you to her as soon as you
arrived. You must haste, for 1t Is
almost dinner time"
With light step Wade entered the
library and closed the door behind
him. Then he stood as though para
