She wasn't on the nest. but she was
close by it. It struck Peter that she
looked very proud and at the same time
very anxious. She was both. You see
a very important event had taken place
that very morning. The last Of the six
eggs had Matched. In the nest were six
tiny birds covered with down, as baby
chicken is, or a baby duck. Peter
couldn't see the babies, so Of course
he didn't know what had happened;
Mrs. Grebe climbed up on the edge of
the nest. Peter moved In order to be
able to see better. Accidently he stepped
on a very dry stick and 1t snapped.
What he saw then made his eyes fairly
pop out.
There was a sharp call. though q low
one. from Mrs. Grebe. Then out from
that mound into the water scrambled
six downy little Grebes. They did not
hesitate second. You never would
have guessed that 1t was their first
venture into the water. They began to
swim at once, just as If they had al

bit to himself. THAT was Mrs. Grebe's
nest after all. And how such little
babies can swim is more than can
understand. Yes sir, I wouldn't have
believed 1t II I hadn't seen It. Tt Is
hard to believe now that I have seen
it. They are such little fellows that
it doesn't seem safe for them to be
in the water. Perhaps. If I am patient

again." ~s d,
Peter settled himself to wait In pa
thence, but his. patience, was not re-
warded. OF course, there was no way
for him to know that they had left
that nest for good. but that Is what
they had done. So Peter sat and sat.
Sometimes he dozed. And then he al
ways wondered If they had come back
while he was mapping. They hadn't. And
at last Peter had to give UP. But as
he left he promised himself that he
would see more Of that curious little
family. '~.'' '''''''-e..~' - '~f"'

one morning. almost three weeks from
the day when he had seen Mrs. Grebes
nest without knowing 1t, he happened
to be over in that neighborhood. He
remembered how he had thought he
had found the nest and decided he
would have another look at that mound
Of dead reeds out In the water.
"I wonder If Mrs. Grebe still uses
II to sit on" thought Peter. "She must

He approached the place very care
fully. There was. that little mound Of
rushes and 'dead grass and moss out
in the water and there was Mrs. Grebe.

had done that time when startled by

He poured another stiff

this sort Of mood it was best
to leave her alone, he de-
cided. AS for Ruth, she
sensed that she was irri-
tating them; that is, all but
the officers and Colonel
Drinkwater, who applauded
loudly.
They offered toast after
toast and she drank steadily
with her hosts. The night
sounds moved about her in
a dizzy, blurred effect, and
she was hardly aware that
all the members of the
Howell party, except Eve
and the colonel, had left
the cabin.
Jimmy, meanwhile, was
taking many draughts of
coke. Tonight was his
Gethsemane, and he wasn't
big enough to face it-alone.
SO he was benumbing his
senses with alcohol.
He felt that the girl upon

"Oh, go fly a kite" Ruth

and disappeared, but no eyes
followed him.
Then the dance began.
The spectators watched

are, a speedboat?" demanded
Ron. Forget that and come
ashore with me-"
Elva sat thoughtfully a
moment. "Let's swim a lit
tie farther out, anyway,
she said finally.
Ron pointed off to the
southwest. Don't be fool
ish, Elva. There's a blow
and a storm in the making.
Let's 60 in while the sun
is shining. ,"
"Dare you to follow me,
shouted Elva mischievOusly
as she dropped off the edge
of the float.
"Come back" shouted
Ron, don't you see that
storm coming?"
Elva turned for an in
slant, waved a hand de-
risively, then struck out with
a long, crawling stroke. She
felt as though she could
swim the Atlantic.
Ron shouted again and
again, but she paid no heed.
He did not leap in and fol-
low, for he believed it a
prank; that any moment
she would turn and come
back. But Elva went on
and on.
The sunlight went out
quickly into a black gray
ness and an angry sea chop
ped up in the path of the
wind. Five minutes later,
Elva herself was sorry, for
the buffeting waves began
to take the strength out of
her. She no longer felt like
swimming the sea. She
tried to turn about, but the
swells tossed her like a
chip.
For the first time she felt
fear.
A stalwart youngster in
small motorboat was chug-
ging toward Happy. Island
when he caught a glimpse
off the port side Of a bob
bing bit of green. On
second look he realized it
was a bathing cap. He
worked the boat around, for
the green cap was coming
rapidly toward him.
A few moments later he
saw a white face, gazing ap-
pealingly at him from the
water. Now it was but a
few feet away. He maneuv-
cred his boat as near as he
could get and threw out a
rope. The girl caught it
with one hand and, shutting
off his motor, he drew her
slowly toward his craft,
which pitched dangerously.
Hang on and I'll tow
you to shallow water" he
cried out above the wind.
But the girl looked at him
despairingly. He drew her
up to the boat. How he
managed to get her aboard
without capsizing he never
knew, but he did.
Elva lay painting there as
he got the engine going
a gain. "Thanks, she

She started to go into

gasped. Il would have gone
down. I was smothered by
the spray and I had cramp
in my foot. -
The young man paid strict
attention to his navigation.
He at last got the boat to
the lee Of the tiny island,
ran it into the shadows and
helped Elva out.
"I've got a bit of a tent
here" he said. "You'll have
to stay here until the storm
blows over. I'll take you
in after"
They crawled under the
canvas, tightly roped and
pegged down and in the
shelter of the only clump Of
growth on the sandy stretch.
"Lie on the cot," said the
young man. I'll brew you
a cup of tea, or coffee, if
you prefer. -
|'Tea, please" said Elva.
The young man got busy
over a small stove. Elva
gulped the refreshing brew
a few minutes later. She
gave him her name, and he
told her who he was. Again
she expressed gratitude. An
hour afterward the skies
were clear and bright. The
young man took her back
in his boat to the landing
on the Vanson place.
Two months latter Ron
Thurber and Elva were
lOlling on the porch of the
Vanson place. Ron was in
a sour mood. 81 suppose, "
he began, "you'r having
the young hermit Of Happy
Island out again to stop
over Sunday.
"Yes," said Elva, blush
ing. "I'm expecting him
any moment. Why?"
Listen, Elva. You re
wasting your time. I've
found out about Robert
Bob, as yOn call him. He s.
no broker. He's nothing
but clerk in a brokers' s
7 office. "
"He never told me he was
a broker" defended Elva.
And he never told you he
WASH IT, sneered Thurber.
"We won't discuss that
any further - said Elva.
But she grew thoughtful.
And she confessed to her
self that she had really be-
ieved Bob was something
higher than a clerk. Never
theless, when he came she
was as nice to him as she
would have been to the
Prince of Wales. And she
kept telling herself that Ron
was jealous, that he had
shown enmity toward Bob
from the beginning.
The upshot of it was that
Elva went to the offices of
Blank, Borden and Smith on
the following Monday. She
asked the factotum at the
door to see Robert. When,
upon inquiry, she was told
that employees were not al
lowed to attend to person

al calls in business hours,
she sent in a card upon
which was written the brief
message:
"Meet me at Paligini's for
dinner. Important.
Bob met her in the lobby.
They entered in silence and
had a small table in a nook.
Bob looked at her as she
examined the menu. What

a trip-hammer. But he
knew there was something
wrong. Finally he took his
courage in both hands.
"Elva," said HI" there's
something wrong. l think
I know what it is, but I've
got to know ."
She looked up at him out
of a pair of blue eyes that
almost dazzled him.
"I've found out-Bob-
she said" after a moment,
"that-that your not a
broker. Oh, l know you
never told me you we're
but, somehow, you let me be-
lieve that you were one of
the firm. "
Bob hung his head. 81

to the conclusion that / was.
I didn't have the heart to

Elva looked him over
while his eyes were averted,
Suddenly he burst out
with: 81 wanted to be some

me who | was or anything

your own life to haul me

"Oh, but I knew you were

fess that" he blurted out.
Everyone who came from
the Vanson place must be of

you're worth a million or

across the cloth and put it
upon one of his.

her with shining eyes. "You

he exclaimed.

Bob.
"No, just a poor relation

Bob took her hand and
pressed it to his lips in spite
of the fact that the waiter
was looking.
