During the worst storm he had
ever experienced, Winton was alone
in his bungalow late one night when
he was attracted by the cries Of dis
tress that seemed to come from the
swamp which surrounded his retreat
John hurried to his door and was
astounded to find pretty girl soak
ed to the skin, who begged OF him to
hurry with her into the swamp,
She guided him to q prostrate man,
insensible as from sudden shock
John carried the man into his cabin
and hurried away in his motor to
fetch doctor Upon returning the
bungalow was empty and the only
memento Of the occasion was white

that served rather to deepen the mys-
