CHAPTER XIV

Don was steering the Diana, which
seemed to be holding her own. care
fully over the riotous losses. But
the launch was Just a pitiful toy for
the whim Of the elements.
With every ear-splitting crash CT
thunder and binding flare that
streaked across the heavens, 1t
seemed to Diana the sky must have
been cleaved in twain. The light
ming was fearsomely vivid, nerve
racking. The thunder crashes
were deafening. Suddenly the little
craft seemed to be lifted as If by
a giant hand. Up, UP 1t shot and
then twisted, turning completely
over as a big wave hit 1t on one side.
Then as quickly almost as the
turbulence had begun, 1t subsidized.
Lake Catawba's capricious surface
became smooth. But the Diana had
filled with water and that, with the
weight of her engine, had taken
her to the bottom.
The surface Of the lake was
broken by the swift, rythmical
strokes of a girls two arms. A mans
head bobbed up near her, emitting
frantic gurgles.
put your hand on my shoulder,
Don-quickl" she screamed, SWIM
ming close to him.
Keeping one arm in motion Diana,
with an effort. drew his up and
pulled it over her left shoulder.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-07

The girl smiled affectionately,
her mood blending with this pleas
ant Renaissance of her compan-
ions childhood. They had played
together often, he and she, in those
kid days. And Don, in those days
of knee breeches and gawkineSs
had been affected with the usual
air of male superiority.
"You know" she said, looking
at him meditatively, IT believe that
you've changed radically, Don, since
you were kid. I mean" she added
quickly, nothing his look, you're
not $3.50 king Of all you surveyed
as you used to be. My, but you were
lord and superior about-about
girls!"
"Oh, now"
He hesitated, as If at a lose for
words to express himself. His face
grew serious. Diana, in the mean
time, had found a can-opener and
was attacking the salmon. She did
not notice his face.
Don't you admit it2" she asked
her eyes on her work.
Eyes," he replied slowly. "Only
man who Is an utter fool thinks
himself superior to a woman, al
most any woman. Sometimes I
think there's not a man living who
is worthy of some women. Women
like you, and Teddy, and-well
Lola. You saved my life today.
Teddy, too, saved me from death.
Perhaps a man would have done
as much under like circumstances;
I don't say he wouldn't. But these
deeds were performed by the sex
that so many of our wise critics
depict as selfish and helpless. AS
for myself, Dia, have wonderful
reverence for your kind"
A flush of enthusiasm had mount
ed to his cheek bones. Diana
listened, her head bent, touched by
the deep sincerity that vibrated his
tones.
Then, as though drawn by some
unaccountable power, she raised her
head and her glance met his. He
was looking at her fixedly. For
ten full seconds they gazed into
each others eyes. The tension was
electrical. Neither the man or the
girl could define it.
"Ill see If we have any bread"
The words came hurriedly. but
they broke the spell. Her hands as
they fluttered confusedly around the
cupboard, trembled.
Guess I'll step out for a bit O.
sightseeing" said Don, in voice
noticeably forced. I'll hear the
mess CALL"
She caught the echo Of a low, I'M
natural laugh, as he passed out
through the door -.

| garments. Don, with laugh, COM
piled with her request. The par
lor" was a tiny room, an annex to
the kitchen, which evidently was
the main room. The formers en-
tire furnishings consisted Of a
sagging cot.
Let me know when you're ready, "
he called back.
The annex had no door and it
was necessary for him to huddle
against the wall to be out Of the
girls line Of vision.
"All right, you may come out
now"
She had removed her stockings
and ten pink toes just peeped out
from beneath the slicker. Her
slippers had been kicked of In the
lake.
Don had always envisioned Diana
as stately. Now, in the slicker, with
its ridiculously broad shoulders, she
seemed almost petite. He looked
down into the depth of her upturned
grey eyes, his mouth widening into
an amused grin.
at hope this isn't going to be an
other mess, DIANA" he said.
A momentary wave of seriousness
swept over the girls face. The next
moment she laughed.
There are plenty Of blankets in
there" waving toward the annex.
You'd better wrap one Of them
around your Apollo-like form and
get your things out, too. You seem
little damp YOURSELF"
She looked at him with apprais-
ing eyes. She had, no doubt, saved
the life of this man, her childhood
chum. And he was a very good
looking man, too, even with his hair
wet and rumpled and his white duck
trousers adhering mussily to his
legs.
While Don was changing Diana
lit the coal-oil stove in the kitchen
and hung her wet clothes on the
back of chair to dry.
She looked up as he stepped
DICK IlVO the IudlLl IOOAl diAO OOu oN
into a ripping laugh.
Between a thumb and forehnger
he held the clothes he had taken
off. His free hand cultched anx-
iously at the bright-colored blanket
he had wrapped around himself.
"You-you look so-funny!"
She could scarcely articulate the
words between her peals of laugh
ter.
He handed her his wet clothes
almost bashfully, dropping his eyes
in boyish confusion.
"This fisherman isn't always
sure. of his catch, It seems" re-
marked Diana. She sad turned to
the box cupboard nailed on the wall
and taken from it a can Of salmon.
"Oh, he probably gets tired Of
the homegrown product" retorted
Don lightly. Its like me when I
was kid. Mother would some
times be without a cook and then
we'd have bakers bread or cake

because 1t was different"

Don't struggled" she cautioned

Don't struggled" she cautioned
him.
He submitted, hardly knowing
what had happened to him.
Diana was thankful, as she struck
out, that her charge had the pres
ence of mind to follow her instruc-
lions.
Ten minutes Of swimming brought
them into shallow water and their
feet found the bottom. With his
hand still resting on her shoulder,
they waded out and up on the beach
of the little island they had left only
short time before.
The brief storm had relieved the
atmosphere Of its clammy humidity.
The island, as Diana and Don
stepped back on 1t, was a clean
washed oasis Of green. Looking out
over Lake Catawha now 1t seemed
hardly possible that such turbulence
could have rocked it less than twen-
ty minutes before. The sun, emery
ing for a final brief splendor,
touched its cleaning surface and
the water laughed back at 1t like q
naughty child whose mischief had
not been discovered.
Looks as If you'd be late for
dinner after all, Dia," said Don, Just
shade of something like satisfac-
ton tinging his voice.
The girl smiled into his eyes and
pulled her drenched skirt outward.
The tan dress that Don would have
classified as "peek-a-boo" chung ex-
ceedingly close to the 1.-THE limbs.
"You ought to get that dry" he
admonished, ignoring her embar-
raised laugh. Lets see If we can't
get into the shack. Our best hope
now is that fishermen, or men, get
back SOON"
Again he tried the door and the
two windows. Both were locked.
But the lock. on the door was rusty,
and with a little effort he managed
to pry it off with his pocket knife.
The stale odor Of fried fish greeted
their nostrils as they stepped inside.
A rough board table In the center of
the room disclosed the disorder Of a
recent meal.
whoever lives here can't be
very far away and probably will
be back for supper" said Don, his
glance shifting about the room.
Meanwhile" observed Diana,
smiling, I'll take off this wet rag
and dry it. VIII you step into "the
parlor" for just moment, Don?"
She had found a slicker and was
already christening her dripping

LINCOLN, Neb., June THE day
Of the hired man and the transient
harvest worker is nearing a close,
according to experts at the Nebraska
Agricultural College who have test
ed the latest thing in automatic
farm machinery.
The invention is an attachment
for farm tractor that guides 1t
without human aid as long as there
is gasoline to run 1t. A farmer,
after blowing a single furrow
around a field, can set the mechan-
ism and go into town for the re-
mainder of the day with the assur-
ance that when he returns the work
will still be going on, or will be fin
ished.
Or the attachment can be hitched
to a self-binder and started on an
80-acre field of ripe wheat. 1t will
keep right on going until the job
Is done.
