for the shore. He didn't lift his head
to see where she had gone. The effort
would have been too much for him. His

At last he could go no farther. He was
in the grip of such utter WEAKNESS as

then let himself sink.

him over a barrel.

him. 20. X" he answered and tainted.

she saw him go down she grabbed him
by the hair and towed him to shore.

Proposed in Boat.
George began to like Ruby the min
ute he saw her, but he didn't fall in
love until one moonlight night a few
weeks ago when the two went q few
miles out to sea in a dory for a bit of
fishing. He determined right there and
then to propose.
To George, a simple soul, a proposal
means Bonded knee, flowery words
and gestures. The first gesture was too
vehement. The boat Topped over on its
