what's in them and races off to what

the thief repents-or does he repent?
I reckon he's plotting something,

do you think. Lord George?'
"Really, l can't guess. What could
he be plotting, now, Miss Archman"
'I'm just trying to find out. You

island is or what there is on it. We're
Just guessing what father may know.
Maybe-maybe the thief figures that

"Thank you! Thank you" he cried
gratefully.

She said you seemed to have some

Evidently she had forgotten school.

decided.

"We'd better be about it." She turned
to the Englishman. Lord George"
she said, I'm very sorry to rescind my
invitation to you. But you can see
how it is. Unless you would like to
go with us on the ship"
'On the ship? Really? How posi-
lively ripping I'll be delighted to goi"
Mrs. Archman colored and caught
her breath. She had not had the
slightest idea that Lord George would
accept. However, she swiftly decided
that it was all for the best. She
could see the paragraphs In the society
news: Lord George Caruthers is

him. "Will you come, really7" she ex-
claimed. I'm very glad"

In various stages of pleasure and
detection, the visitors left the ship.
Bess looked about for Mr.. Carr, but
she did not see him. AS matter of
fact, he was on his way TO Captain
Bunker's cabin, where he had been
summoned to receive orders in regard
to new fittings for the extra cabins
that would be brought into use by the
new passengers.

he said blankly.

well ne might. "Ah, yesI Quite sol!
he said blankly.
Mrs. Archman looked scandalized,
and Bess, evidently fearing that she
had gone too far and that Lord George
might later guess her meaning, has
'tily swung the conversation back to
what was, after all, the real topic at
issue.
The conversation ended only when
the auto drew up beside the entrance
to the Ontario docks, where the Ell Rio
was being put into shape for her
voyage
The tide was in and the gangplank
was far from horizontal. Bess ran up
1t hastily and looked about her. Won
dering If by any chance she might
catch sight of the Adonis whom Nellie
had described. She did not do so,
however, and before she could look
farther the others had followed her.
A tall man in an officers uniform
was moving about the deck, giving
orders now and then. He saw the
party and stepped forward. Good
morning, Miss Archman," he said, TAX
ing off his cap to Bess.
Bess nodded. Good morning, Mr.
Collins" she returned. "This is my
mother, Mr.. Collins; and Lord George
Caruthers. You know my brother
Harry, believe. We want to see Cap
tain Bunker on particular business"
Collins acknowledged the introduc-
tions. Captain Bunker isn't on
board just now," he said. But I'm
expecting him back every minute. Per-
haps"-he turned to the Englishman-
perhaps If Lord George is a navy
man, he would like to go over the
ship"
Delighted, I'm sure" remarked Lord
George.
Meanwhile Mrs. Archman had been
staring up and down the cluttered
deck. "Well," she said, 1--WE heard all
my life about keeping things ship
shape. This is the first time I was
ever on ship, and I must say I'll
never put any faith in the expression
again. Are things usually this way or
are you-er-fall cleaning?"
Collins looked somewhat startled.
Then he glanced about him and a
slow smile curled his lips. "Well," he
said, "you might call it that. Things
are badly torn up just now. But we're
all right below and we'll be all right
up here in couple of days. when we
sail. I'll be delighted to show you
about" he ended. "Come this way"
He turned toward the companionway.
Mrs. Archman started down the
steps. Lord George stood aside to
let Bess follow. The girl, however
stepped back. 'I'll be down in min
ute, Lord George she said. "Tll just
poke about bit on deck first
When Mrs. Archman, Harry and
Lord George had reluctantly vanished
down the companionway, Bess turned
and picked her way forward over the
obstructed deck. Close by the cook:
galley she noticed young man who
was sitting on the deck laboriously
fitting n short piece of plank into @
break in the rail. He was by nc
means an Adonis, but he seemed tc
possess some of the characteristics
that Nellie had described, and she
stopped and looked at him until he
raised his eyes and saw her. Hastily
he scrambled to his feet and snatched
of his cap. II beg pardon" he ex

lining the pupils of Chesapeake City
Schools. The objects of this WORK
are threefold:
/. To aid the child to become
physically fit through the elimination
Of his handicaps.
2. To aid the child to want and to
strive to be healthy.
8. To aid in the creation of a
healthy environment at school and at
home.
For the successful accomplishment
Of these detectives there are two
methods of approach:
1. The direct or individual aid
which includes:
(a) Individual health inspection
of the school child.
(b) Individual talk with him
about his health and his habits.
(c) Visits to his home.
2. The indirect or aid through
group instruction, which includes:
(a) Glass room talks, drills, plays
and other devices for intoxicating
ideals and habits of health
lb) Popular health. activities in
the community. The child who has
his tonsils removed but goes home to
a mother who does not understand
the hygiene of childhood, is still
! handicapped. Perfect hygiene at
home and at school are not sufficient
for child whose deafness has not
been discovered. Nor is the correc-
ton of defeats both personal and
environmental enough, if the child
habitually breaks the laws of health.
