 | preached the silent couple, don't be so utterly foolish!" | Cara looked around quickly. Isn't the moon lovely, SamF' called | Peggy over her shoulder. | "Er-yes-no, I don't think so," he stammered.
 Its too good to waste,' she went on, and she and Duval laughed to- | gether.
 How foolish Peggy is tonightl'' ex- claimed Cara as they disappeared. But Sam did not answer. He wished that Cara had not fallen overheard | and that she had not looked so beauti- full afterward.
 | About four the next afternoon, when they had passed Martha's Vineyard and were heading for Narragansett Pier, the boat slowed down consider ably. The only people on deck were Duval and Peggy, Cara and Sam. "Get to it!'' whispered Duval to Peggy. "I'n have everything ready, so don't worry"
 Peggy stood not far from the two | on deck.
 "Oh, see the shark !" she screamed, | and leaned far over the rail. "Be careful '" warned Sam; but he called too late, for there was heart rending cry as Peggy disappeared over | the side of the boat. Good GodI" groaned Sam, "the | shark" The other girl was forgotten instantly, and for the second time in | the last two days Sam rushed to the rescue of girl overheard. What if the shark should get her be fore he did? She must have gone down twice by this time. Furiously he | struck out, and this time he almost | touched her. But once more she went down. Cold terror gripped his heart and he caught his breath sharply. What If he should lose her now? AL | most immediately she was beside him l again, bedraggled, but flushed with excitement. She looked anything but frightened. He seized her frantically and held her head above the water. Hold on to me-tightr r' he com handed, land we'll get to the boat" To his amazement she shook herself free and laughed at him. T pull me there. I'll race you" And with a firm, strong stroke she struck out for the lifeboat which was coming toward them.
 And, MT. Russell" she called over her shoulder. q didn't fall overheard. I just jumped. Lance dared me to. Thank you so much for coming over for me-you are always so nice about those little things"
 And the shark ?" asked Sam.
 Purely imaginary"
 Sam boiled inwardly as he saw 1t all. Cara never would have done such a thing-no, at least she would let him rescue her after he was really in the water. This was very different from the rescue the day before. A slight sus- picion touched him-could Cara-but that was ridiculous-or wasn't 1t? He didn't know what to think. Savagely, he redoubled his efforts and reached the Ifeboat before Peggy and helped her on board. In silence they returned to the yacht. He wondered if she was tired after her long swim-if she would like-what nonsense! Of course she wouldn't like anything to do with
 
 the boat and he followed slowly and went straight to his own room.
 What a fool I am anyway-an my own fault, too!'' Sam shivered with cold and changed his wet clothes for some flannel trousers and warm dressing gown.
 'Gosh, but I'm co1dl I wonder if I've got a chill-hope won't be sick here-nobody care if I was either. around with lot of girls who like to jump overheard and who don't care a rap whether I live or die!'
 Come in!" he roared, not moving from the warmth of the electric heater.
 Please come here a minute, Sam: I can't come in.''
 He jumped to his feet instantly and flung the door wide. Peggy, dressed in long furry robe, was holding cup of some steaming fluid.
 "Please drink it, Sam; I've been so worried about your taking cold"
 Obediently he drained the scalding mixture with his eyes on her face.
 "Wonderful i' he exulted, but he wasn't thinking about the contents of the cup at all. Peggy took the empty cup and started down the hall, but he caught her sleeve.
 "You can't go till you tell me some of the things I want to know" he told her. holding tightly to her arm.
 That's nor fair, Sam Russell! A man who is crazy about one girl has no
