CHAPTER XIV


Mary Rose stood like pillar of
stone in the doorway, unable to
speak or move.
A sort Of darkness came over her,
Flossie, here, sitting on John Man
ners desk! And talking to him as
if they were the greatest friends in
the world Why, what could it
mean?
Then F1ossie saw her. She jumped
lightly down from the desk and came
toward her, laughing as she ran a
hand through her shimmering curls.
Hello, I was waiting for you. an
gel,' she said carelessly. II wanted
to show you my wave. Isn't 1t
slicky-tricky?"
She whirled around on one toe like
a ballet dancer before she followed
the older girl into the outer office.
The door closed behind them.
"F'lossfe Middleton. You mustn't
go in.there and sit on Mr. Manners
desk! He won't like it., Mary Rose
said when they were outside.
F1ossie's laugh was like a chime
of little silver bells. Won't like tt?"
she asked. ANY old time he won't
like it. Why. I've just come back
from lunch with him.
Mary Roses deep eyes widened.
You've been to lunch with Mr.. Man
ners!" she repeated. why, how did
that happen?"
But Flossie refused to answer. She
shook her head. with its crop of soft
little blonde curls, and ran upstairs
laughing. mysteriously.
All afternoon as Mary Rose
worked at her desk between the
desks Of Miss Brown and Miss Min
nick. she asked herself a question
over and over:
eff John Manners asks Flossie to
lunch with him. why shouldn't I go
with him, when he asks me?"
Then another thought came to
take its place:
perhaps he isn't In love with
Doris HING at all-perhaps he's still
looking for the girl he'll marry

At o'clock Miss Minnick spoke

said. and Mary Rose looked up. "She

All in palest gray, Doris HING was
coming across the outer office.
There was a gray fox scraf around
her neck, and on it was pinned a

thought, looking down at her own

wasn't Dolly's way. In spite of the
very natural air and arrogance which
had come to him he was pretty much

hated them for it. He could have taken

foot of the rock. 1t was higher than
all but the highest tides.
What happened? The devil tides
were baked Of their onslaught round
the rock and began their revenge.
Slowly. little by little, they banked
the sands along the causeway, and
then the moving sands of the bay
came higher and higher up toward
the shore and stayed.
The alarm went out that, unless
something be done. Mont Saint. t.Michel
would soon cease to be an island and
become like any other cliff of the
coast.
The architecture of the glorious old
church and abbey would remain. but
the strange beauty of the place land
the dangerous out uniquely interest
ing galloping of the wild tides around
it, would be gone forever.
A business company even came for
ward to propose: Let US add dikes
to the causeway, and in a short time
we will dry up 5000 acres of good
new land from the bay. That Is how
the Dutch have taken Holland"

try 5000 acres be compared to the
half million tourists yearly who come
to see this marvel of the world
The patriotism Is genuine. This
rock island figured in the expedition
of William the Conqueror, when he
set out to make himself Norman King
of Saxon England. just across the
waters Of the Channel.
Centuries afterward, the English
successors of William tried their best
to take such a natural fortress close to
the Norman shore. Actually, they took
and held the adjoining little island of
Tombelaine until 1850.
Tombelaine is now to be utilized for
visibility. 1t is to give visitors the
marvellous sight heretofore denied
them, unless they brave the elements
at peril of their lives!
Cuttings have been made under the
unlucky causeway, indeed, to let the
10.mile rush-back of the tide circle
ers and spires of Mont Saint-Michel
through the 2.mile channel that sepa.
rates it from the Norman coast. It is
even part Of the plans to abolish the

in the papers.
1t concerns the measures just begun
to make Mont Saint. Michel, the eighth
marvel of the world, visible as we'll as
accessible. The ancient abbey at the
peak Of its island rock rises offshore
where Normandy and Brittany meet
in the midst Of cruel, crawling
comes running in. faster than a horse
can galiop.
1t is the everlasting danger and
beauty of farfamed Mont Saint Michel.
Can they remove the danger without
killing the beauty? That Is the ques-
ton.
More than 10000 American soldiers
perhaps $4,000 or 100 ,000-came, in
and afoot to this wonder site. from
their rest stations at Saint .Malo. a
little further west along the English
Channel.
Tourists have always been coming
400. 900 came last year, alone. Be-
fore the tourists the pilgrims came to
Mont Saint-Michel for a thousand
years. All of them were always
warned. as all since have been warned
continually. of the sudden treachery
of the beautiful sands and sea!
The rock Is half a mile around at
the base and $50 feet high where the
church spires are planted, and 1t is
nearly . miles from the shore. The
tide goes out 10 miles over the shall
low bottom, leaving bare and CULVER
ing wet sands. which tempt a man to
cross over those miles on foot
Then. perhaps. when he is within
few yards of the foot of the rock
and run and jump ought to bring
him to safety-the treacherous sands
hold his feet drawing him down. and
the waves of the returning tide gallop
back to overwhelm him.
1t was reported at the time that
more than a few American soldiers
were resued from the quicksands in
dire danger such rescues could be
made. because there were many with
in running distance of each other.
Once a lone doughboy was reported
drowned and his body never recover

They are great works. which con.
tinue works already done: but, in par
ticular. they rectify them, because
they were helping visitors to safety
by what threatened to destroy alto
gether the antique splendor of the
place.
"Visible as we'll as safely accessible"
is the new watchword.
Heretofore the works for easy &C.
