struck Nash hard with an open
hand.
"Tf you're anxious for a fight"
he said icily, "nobody's holding me,
Nash"
Nash rubbed his smarting cheek.
There's enough trouble here" he
faltered at last. "I'll =. I'll talk

quickly. There's been quite
enough trouble. Take this man out.

and notify me-"
Obeying, the two members OF the
yachts crew led Payson out Of the
lodge. He did not look at Julia
as he left. II he had, he would
have noticed that her eyes were
filmed with sudden tears for the
trouble and humiliation she had
caused him. Cintra Lee saw
Julias glance following Payson
from the room, and she whispered
quickly: Easy there, Julia. !

you'll give yourself away"
Julia nodded, her face white. She
saw Woodford walking toward
them.
I'm sorry this had to happen"
he said.

don't mind, think I'll go up TO

Woodford patted her shoulder
Sure, go right ahead, Julia. We
men folk are rising early for a
hunting trip in the morning. Well

AS Julia moved toward the stair,
Cintra said In low voice, IF the

And when Julia had undressed
nervously and climbed into bed,
she was inclined to agree with Gin
ira. For long after she heard Gin
ira and Mrs. Joseph retire 10 their
rooms, the men downstairs talked
and laughed, quite as II nothing
had happened. But Julia wondered
about Royal Nesbitt and Hugo
Nash. Under the warming influ-
ence OF cocktails they might pre-
tend 10 have forgotten. But, re-
Numbering the look In Nash's eyes
when Nesbitt had struck him,
Julia doubted II he would let the
matter pass so easily. eNsbitt, the
happy -go-lucky, a man OF quick
loves and hates, might possibly be
willing 10 let things drop. But
something told Julia that Nash
wouldn't forget.
That night she slept fitfully, and
In the morning she was grateful
for cold shower which revived
her q little and made up for O bad
stretch for hours IN the strange
room. She realized that she must
have slept at least a little toward
for she hadn't heard the
men depart on their hunting jaunt.
Her suspicion was that they had
failed TO arise at all--but when she
went downstairs she found Obo lay
ing fire on the hearth and he
told her that the "gentumen" had
gone before the sun was up.
Julia looked at the clock on the
mantel, Its hands indicating $3.50.
Mr.. Woodford asked me TO tell
you they'd want good breakfast"
she said.
Obo grinned happily "Yest,
Missie. Obo always have good
breakfasts"
She felt q little crushed ut this
remark and was forced to smile
TO herself. And then, as she
thought OF Toy Payson, her smile
faded quickly. Had he gone back
to his own camp last nlght2 Or
was he still on Evergreen Island,

was his only chance to help her

herself. 1--WE got TO tell him that

She would have left the lodge
