staggered face: "It's nothing.
I struck a rock" When he saw
Pippin and Kate, his eyes filled
with dumb misery. He said
flatly: "Our boat overturned"
Unaware of her scant cover
ing and the water dripping from
her hair and shoulders, Pippin
took the blanket someone Of
fered.
She turned to Kate: IT guess
they're all right. You'll stay
here?" and pulling the blanket
about her, walked up the trail to
a great boulder where her
clothes were heaped. She stepped
into them quickly and moved
from the scene which every mo-
ment grew more unreal, more
fantastic and alien.
Chickie stood in the living
room, leaning on a table near
the fireplace. She looked hag-
gard, pale, a little wild about
the eyes.
what in the world kept
you?" she mumbled irritably as
Pippen entered the room.
"a boat overturned-two peo'
pie were almost drowned"
Chickie sank into a deep
chair, signing deeply as though
with utter exhaustion.
"You don't feel any better,
mother? Your head is worse?"
I'm all right" She added,
almost sobbing: "I can't see
why it took you so long,"
IT had to swim out and bring
in a girl who was helpless when
her boat capsized."
ooh"
Chickie didn't inquire further.
Her eyes closed drowsily.
Pippin looked at her mother
and was afraid. She went up
and felt Helena'S face.
She whispered distractedly:
"You have a fever. We should
go home. I'll telephone David"
"Stay here! Nothing but a
cold. I'll soon be over it."
The Washington times., 1934-05-29

"I'll wait and help"
Chickie lay on the couch. Her
eyes burned at Pippin. They
were full of bitterness.
"You wouldn't stay with me.
Even now!"
"Oh mother!"
.Pippin dropped on her knees
at her mothers side. She ran
her fingers through Helena's
hair.
II didn't leave you, mother.
Please don't think that! I talked
with David. I phoned to him"
II forbade you to do that!"
But almost immediately a look
Of relief, vivid as a smile went
over Chickie'S face.
What did David Say?"
''He wants you home. He said
to bring you right away. He's
started already for Sacramento"
Chickie gave a sudden, soft
laugh and turned her face, wet
with tears, against the pillow.

alarm.
She stole from the house.
She took the boat and went
across to the landing, where
she telephoned her father.
Fortunately he was in his
office.
She heard her father say
quietly: "A headache. fever?"
"Oh yes, but she's so cross. :.
Her neck seems stiff. She
looks terrible!"
did you say irritable?" Pip
pin thought she heard Daid
add, "Oh my God!" But he
went on with sharp, matter-of-
fact: Better bring her home,
Pippin. Get Ralph and the
boys to help. Nothing to be
alarmed about, but I want her
here. Leave right away. I'll
meet you in Sacramento. Tell
Dadee to drive carefully, but
make all the speed you cant"
Her fright ran fainting across
the wires. David caught her
trembling cry and said plead
ing, urgent, grim:
Dale Dismissed
Manage it, Pippin! I'll count
on you to arrive in Sacramento
between 8 and 10. Let Ralph
close up the house-all Of you
come home"
Pippin said: IT will"
She leaned against the phone,
shaking; q dampness on her
hands and in her thought.
Her father was afraid. He
said: "Oh my God!"
She sent for Dadee; made ar

boat and went quickly over the

Dale was waiting at her pier.
He said: "Pippin - I'm so
sorry. I couldn't dream she was
returning"
She looked at him remotely,
yet noticing his face so white.
what does it matter, Dale?
Is your head all right?"
"Oh just a scalp wound. But
it stunned me left me help
less"
Pippin repeated the last word
and went past him, almost un-
seeing.
He caught her hand.
"She would have drowned If
you were not there. I didn't
even see her. Pippin, why are
you rushing away?"
She looked into his unhappy
eyes.
MY mother is sick. Don't
stop me, Dale"
"Is she this sick, Pippin?"
He would have put an arm
around her but was repelled by
the stark, distant look in her
eyes.
"she's sick. We're taking her
home"

She was just near enough to
make a surface dive under the
victim when she looked to the
far side Of the boat. She saw q
form rising from the lake, the
head covered with blood. The
arms reached out blindly and
caught the edge Of the capsized
boat.
Pippin thought, with a sob Of
relief; yet with strange, dull
agony: 'He's Saved!"
She swan under the small,
almost exhausted girl, swung
her to position and bore her to
the pier.
Almost Immediately, boats
were in the lagoon, a crowd
gathered and Kate Stone came
rushing down the trail.
She looked at the woman and
said excitedly: who's drowned?
Is that Dale?"
Dale's wife sat up. She said:
, sI,ook! He's clinging there!"
But at that moment men in
the boat lifted the half consci-
Gus form from the water.
The rest Of it went claShing
like the distorted scenes Of a
nightmare-a pallid, unnatural
dream, with all these blanched,
excited people talking crazily;
men laying Dale on the pier;
removing his shoes and water
logged clothes; mopping the
blood from his face.
Dale's wife ran toward him
and cried: "He's drowned. He
clung to the boat but he's
drowned"
Everyone was telling what
should be done. Dale raised him.
