But II anyone had been there, he had
unquestionably fled along the trail.
Whitaker in a rage set himself to fol-
low. Before he realized he could have
covered half the distance, he emerged
abruptly into the clearing Of the Fiske
place.
Here he pulled up, for the first time
alive to the intrinsic idiocy Of his con-
duct, and diverted besides by the dis
covery that his impression OF the early
evening. that the cottage waa tenaa:ed,
had been well founded.
The ground floor windows shone with
dim but warm illumination. He could
see distinctly part Of living room

with short apron and lace cap sat

in brusQne tone, and was answered
by what sounded like a pleasant mega

CHAPTER x.
The Spy.

nc SPys
Already the sun was warm, the faint
breeze bland Standing at the window
and shading HIS eyes against the glare,
Whitaker surveyed world new
washed and radiant; the landlocked
bay dimpled with vagrant catspaws
and smitten with sunlight as with a
scinitar of fire: the earth fresh and
fragrant, steaming family In the ar
dent glow of the dawn.
In another moment he was at the
kitchen door. interrupting Sum Fats

then. with the deliberate and powerful
movements Of an experienced swim

hundred yards out he paused. rolled
over on his back, and. hands clasped
beneath his head fioated serenely, sun
light warming his upturned face. his
body rejoicing in the suave, clean, fluid
embrace.
Then something disturbed him-a
dull futtering, vibrant upon his SUBJ
merged eardrums. Extending his arms
and moving his hands gently to pre-
serve his poise, he lifted his head from
the water. From the landing stage on
the Fiske place motor boat was
standing out. The churning Of its pro-
peller had aroused him. He could see
but single person for all it's crew.
Seated astern, dividing her attention
between the side steering wheel and
the engine, she was altogether ignorant
Of the onlooker Only her head and
| shoulders showed above the coaming-
her head with its shining crown. her
shoulders cloaked with light wrap
| gathered at the throat.
Whitaker, admiring, wondered .
Sweeping In wide arc as it gath

smartly on a straight course for the
| barrier beach.
Why? What business had she there
And at an hour so early?
No affair Of Whitaker admitted
as much freely. And yet he was be-
ginning his fourth day on the Great
West bay without having set foot upon
Its Great South beach! Ridiculous
oversight! And one to be remedied
without another hours delay.
Grinning with amused federation OF
his own perverse sophistry he turned
over on his side and struck out In the
wake Of the motor boat When at
length he waded ashore he found the
motor boat moored In shallow water
at the end Of long and substantial
dock. He patted the TANKS of the yes
sci as he waded on
Good little boat |" said he.
Walking rapidly, very soon he stood
at the head Of rude flight Of wooden
steps which ran down from the top of
a wave.eaten sand bluf, some ten or
twelve feet in height, to the broad and
gently shelving ocean beach. Midway
between the sand blum and the break
