was glad 10 set away from the
yacht. which had been tho homo Of
Malcolm Stuart for years. Tho ex'
perience was rather diaquieting. |
never stopped at the rail without
thinking that II was perhaps here
that Malcolm stood tina, night
when he threw the little Jade god
OF dreams far out into the moon
path that fiared across the sea.
never sat In an easy chair or
swung idly In a hammock that
did not wonder wha, he was think.
Ing about on the lonE summer days
whom he was perhaps doing the
same thing. Strange that map

life very sordid and trying.
Here Ia hls letter. little book;
My heart almost stopped beat.
ing this morning. dear little lady
Saliva, when was told OF tho near-
tragedy that occurred on the yacht
the other day. I did not hear how
near Mr. waveriy and Teddy came
to losing their lives until yes,sr-
day.
Il cannot blamo Eisons for wish.
ine 10 get away from tho old boat
as soon as possible. but I confess
bad hoped you would stay there
until you had fully recovered
ny the way. my dear friend, Or.
". says that you need only get
back the hold on your nerves TO be
perfectly veil and happy | need
not say hope you will be 80 very
soon. know what sick enrves
mean-every horror that tho most
vivid Imagination can picture as a
torment for tho damned.
II was panic-stricken when. after
much questioning. my dear old doc
tor friend reluctantly told me that
the state OF your nerves was no,
satisfactory TO him. and that he
had sent you 10 Atlantic City and
told you 10 stay there until you had
become toned up.
Il confess I did not really see the
why and wherefore Of Atlantic City
In August. with the crowds OF PEG
pie jostling eacn other on tho
boardwalk. and told him 30. He
said that was Just tho reason he
had sent you there.
IAN her llfe.' he said, Mrs.
waverly has spent too much time
alone or with chosen friends who
think the same as she does. She
has never been out OF her own
class. ! hope she win SEQ some
thing new In the democratic hordes
that come TO Americas playground.
When she wants quiet. she can
find a.. and when she longs for the
hum Of conversation. tho blare OF
ragtlme music or any foolishness
you Americans call entertainment.
she has only TO 20 into the hotel
corridors or on the boardwalk and
piers
Il myself would never look upon
Atlantic City as a place TO con
valesce. but II | we're III and Or.
V. should ask me TO 20 TO the inner
crater Of Vesuvius TO recover. /
should do IT, SO there you are. and
here I am back on the yacht
And now. Just here at the end.
Margie. | am going TO say some
thing for which all that has gone
before is but meaningless pre-
smble. am coming TO see you
before you leave Atlantic City II
you will let me. Whether you will
or not. ! am always. yours sincere
