I found Captain PGrNi1s and Jim, e nondescript picture in the evening clothes and blazer suit, wandering fll at ease about the AYing room. I tESksd for Miss Green. .' siFria N".t,e
 "she went out with that othez young man." said the captain. "She said BhS was going to look for her mother" l had almost forgotten the missing Mrs. Green. was about to start out search ing again when l remembered my promise to Miss Dunmore.:' -s -''.i -
 And where Is Mir. ClairT 1 asked.
 "I seen him out in the yard looking for walnuts under them hard maple trees" volunteered Jim. '1 didn't tall him they weren't nut bearing tree on this island Whats the ussi IE atn't nutting time yet nohow." .'-'. Tf Miss Dunmore came downBtAlTS iA A dress of Lucile's, or, rather blouse and skirt of the sailor suit order. She seemed very little rufied by her Gd' venture on the high seas. ''-'-h '~- a'
 Where is Miss Green T'l she asked, looking around. T want to thank Der for her kindness" l." .n ~-'t0--~r' .''
 "She Is out searching for her moth CT" That sounded Ike foolish state ment so I qualified it. "Her mother disappeared last night during hs storm" ....-. ''-' %
 "Oh" Miss Dunmore did not Sesm narticularly impressed. .''L- don't see how any one could get lost on c httls island like thls.S -..' :a-r r-H"T
 That's where the mystery comes in. There are only about half a dozen places she could be, and we've looked in all of them"
 "I had brother who walked in hAS sleep" said Captain Perkins, follow ing up a train of thought suggested by Mrs. Greens disappearance. "po' you want to hear the story about the funny place where the zebra bit him Tso c -,-
 A little later,n suggested hastily. Just now we all ought toescatteE and help look for Mrs. Green.", g. t--rf
 How was she dFessedT Captain Perkins inquired. f~f "I don't know. I'm not sure wheth- CT she was dressed at all or not-thst is. she probably had on . kimopo or something, but I don't think she had on regular skirts and things" e-s-i aa
 we might take a stroll along the beach," suggested Jim, whom I gus- pected of wanting to display his strip ed clothing in public. Possibly we might ind something we could eat"
 After tue captain and Jim had start ed out Miss Dunmore seemed lost in deep and bewildered thought II fore bore to break in on 80 pOrtentOus- brain struggle. -. ....'' @t.
 At last she spoke. Where do you suppose the zebra did bite Captain Perkins brother" L sa- "~,ntt
 If you go with him perhaps be will tell you" I said, with an idea of doing my searching alone with weather eye constantly peeled for Lucille and Bopp.
 "No," she demurred, "I would much rather go hunting with you. It Wtn be more fun" TaLu sbG-- vs.rEr,
 Evidently she thought that hunting old ladies in the underbrushr Wag isIs of our innocent island pastimea. 70
 sighed. We sallied forth. If had wanted to run across Lucille whsa LI was alone I was just as anxious sSO avoid her while l was in the company of Miss Dunmore. JA-5 ,35sA5lirz

 I explained painstakingly the remote possibility either of finding Ars, Green or of having any lunch. Contrary to my expectations, she took the tnfoTma' ton about the lack of food just 'as cheerfully as she had everything els& don't believe 1t would be possible Co dampen the spirits of that Biri-net that she was unresponsive to anotheEs distress, for have rarely met one 50 sympathetic, but she was peEBiStently optimistic. s'- .'L cEiol:- T-S -'''
