but enough had been achieved to bring
about dire consequences for Cuthbert
vane, who had found the liquid cool
and refreshing, and was skeptical
about its potency.
Aunt Jane took the matter very
hard. and rebuked the rihald mlrth Of
Mr.. Tubbs. He had to shed tears over
a devastating poem called THE
Drunkard's Home" before she would
forgive him. Cookie made his peace
by engaging to vote the prohibition

"Well, lend a hand, then. We can

The captain hesitated queeriy. His
wandering eyes seemed to be search
ing In every quarter for something
they did not find. Al last he mum

AS the only person who had dlscov-
cred anything on the island, l was now
invested with a certain Importance.
Also, l had a playfellow and compan-
ion for future walks, in lieu of Cuth-
bert Vane, held down tight to the
thankless toll Of treasure-hunting by
his stern taskmaster. But at the same
time | was provided with an annoying,
because unanswerable question which
had lodged at the back of my MIND
like a crumb in the throat:
By what strange chance had the
copra gatherer gone away and left
Crusoe on the island?
One morning, instead Of starting d.
rectly after breakfast for the cave,
Mr.. Shaw busted himself In front Of
the supply tent with certain explosives
which were to be used in the digging
operations later.
Having inquired of tine Honorable
Cuthbert and found that for an hour
or two the boat would not be In
reQuisition, l permitted the beautiful
youth to understand that ] would not
decline an invitation to be rowed about

rine glasses lying about, and | had
been doing some exploring with them.
