"Please, Don! Please don't-not

The spray was whipping against

steered in small circles, making the

her remark to one less appropriate.
"Well, you can. But don't worry.

a real bachelor" she added, ap-
praising him with a judicial eye.
"You don't even pay attention to
what is proper for a special occa-
sion"
ooh, don't know about that"
He was scratching his ear, eye
ing with boyish curiosity, his COM
panion's garb. 1t was tan in color
he knew that. But he couldn't
have classified the material for any
reward.
Anyhow, it looks like class to
me-" he declared, assuming the air
Of connoisseur.
"Well, let's tie up and snoop
around a Bit" proposed the girl with
sudden decision. Maybe we can
find some pop. I'm kinda thirsty,
aren't you?"
"Uh huh," grunted Don with bliss
full agreeableness and CALAMITY as
sisted her from the launch.
Their "Snooping around a bit"
revealed the fact that the island
save for themselves, was uninhab-
tied that afternoon at least.
There was one small building, a
shack-like structure, but it was
tightly locked. On the sand close
by we're several fishermens nets
spread out to dry. The person, or
persons who, seemingly, belonged
on the island were quite distinctly
absent that June afternoon.
well, we don't get any pop. that's
plain" announced Don when he had
tried the door and two windows to
the shack and failed to effect an
entrance.
They sat for while on the small
pier that projected itself into the
water some thirty feet. The sun
was becoming obliterated now with
ever increasing frequency behind the
dark cloud that had spread to much
greater proportions.
THAT sounds like thunder" said
Diana, cooking her ear.
But the distant rumbling died
away and Don was sure she had
imagined she heard storm warnings.
WED better start back, however, 4"
he suggested. BE on tn safe side,
anyhow"
Even as he started the engine
white caps were appearing far out in
the lake. The air which had been
sticky hot had grown noticeably
cooler. A loud boom sounded over
their heads. This time there was
no mistaking it for anything but
thunder.
by Jove-cert'nly looks ominous!"
commented Don nervously, as they
felt the Diana" thrust savagely
aside by huge wave.

The girls cry was drowned in the
reverberations of tremendous
crash. A binding flame OF lightning
flashed in their eyes.

By Constipation
Tells How He Got Quick Relief, No
Sign of Trouble Now.

Every sufferer from stomach and
liver trouble will welcome the good
news in letter written by Paul D.
Bragdon, 1923 Cedar ST., Anderson,
Ind. He tells how he regained his
health, appetite and weight, as fol-
lows:
"For five years I suffered with
liver trouble and constipation. My
bowels were so sluggish they would
hardly act more than once a week.
My complexion was yellow and 1
was all run down. My appetite was
poor and I had disgust for food
most of the time. I went down to
1856 pounds, and my vitality was so
low I just had no pep at all. l felt
lazy and wanted to sleep all the
time. I tried different medicines
and nothing did me any good. Then
a relative recommended Viuna. Be-
fore had taken half bottle I felt
better, and by the time had taken
the second bottle I had gained 4
pounds and could eat anything, had
a good, healthy appetite and was
feeling fine. All that drowsiness was
gone and I would get up in the
morning full of pep. 1t has been
three months since I bought my
first bottle of Viuna, and I believe
I can truthfully say that am en-
tirely well. I have gained 20 pounds,
and never felt better in my life"
viuna acts promptly on sluggish
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. II
puriies the blood, clears the skin,. re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and energy to the whole
body. Take bottle on trial. Then il
you're not glad you tried Viuna. your
money will be refunded. 81 at druggists

"I'll see if can't dope out way, "
offered Don. He shot quick glance
at Teddy.
"You an I, Ted-we1l put our
heads together on this proposition.
You're a pretty good plotter."
"'Pretty good is right enough, J"
agreed Dinny Morrison at this juno
ture. He didn't just favor the idea
of Teddy and Don getting their
heads together and still He wasn't
really Jealous of Don, although he
had thought on various occasions
that Teddy liked her guardian better
than any guardian had right to be
liked by pretty young girl. ......
There had been moments, in fact,
when Dinny had felt ike taking a
wallop at the popular literary
editor.
And a wallop from Dinny, be it
here remarked, might have meant
something, for while he was only a
lightweight, he toted a stiff punch
and was accounted an uncom1nonly
clever amateur boxer. He looked

hanging in the balance. Pop, sens

curiously intrigued interest. Dinny
himself decided the issue by his own

Hartford. April [ An average Of 12 operators a day is refused licenses to drive motor vehicles in Connecticut because of failure to pass the required state police ex. animation. An average of 2s a day is taken on the road by suspension of operators licenses for abuse oi the driving privilege.
 Altogether the righ. to operate motor vehicles on Connecticut streets and highways was with. held. for varying periods last year. from 12,4s5 people. At the same time the courts found 14.s65 opera. tors guilty of motor vehicle of. lenses fined 7,s36 and imprisoned 3oe.
 On the other hand new operators were licensed at the rate of about 1853 a day. Approximately one in every 14 applicants presenting themselves for examination fails to satisfy the examiners that he or she should be a safe operator in traff1c. The examination, specified by the state motor vehicle depart ment is not difficult for a careful practical operator who has nc physical or mental hand!caps. IL was drawn up with the idea of testing the ability Of every applt- cant 10 meet any Of the traffic situations likely to confront him on the public highways and streets.
 The records show that 46.434 out of 5o.o99 applicants examined las. year were passed. 3,665 having failed. Those who fail are welcome to return for another examination whenever they feel qualified to pass but the examination fee of sc operates to cause many applicants to make reasonably sure of them- selves before presenting themselves for re-eXamination.
