have to go on is that a certain
very reputable business man wants
to buy my share in the island-the
controlling interest which was left
to me by Mr.. Markham on condi-
ton that the island be operated as
a honeymoon retreat. I feel like a

The major nodded, though his
eyes were narrowed a little.
Il suppose so. The other sugges-
ton Is rather fantastic" he agreed.
Wasn't there a clause in the will
providing that the island should be
a honeymoon retreat for several
years-or at least until danger of
threat Of invasion to the United
States was over? I seem to remem-
Der something of the sort"
"Yes," said Tom. THE newspa-
pers made all sorts Of fantastic
suggestions and hints and theories
about that. But I think the whole
truth Of the matter was that Mr..
Markham was rather sentimental
about the island. He had planned II
as a honeymoon spot for himself
and the girl he loved, but she died
on the way to the wedding. think
it was just that he couldn't bear
the thought Of the island being
used for commercial purposes

and all the rest Of 1t, as Blake had
planned it."
"Ah, yes, no doubt that's It."
agreed the Major.
The voice Of his wife was heard
calling, and a moment later they
had said good night and gone.
Tom closed the French windows
and locked them, while Betsy stood
at the front Of the stairs, watching
him. After a moment she said
quietly, Then there really WAS a
prowler?"
"Oh, I don't think So"
Then why are you locking up
for the first time since we came to
the island?" she demanded.
Tom had no answer to that. So
Betsy went quietly about with him,
helping him to lock up. When she
reached the kitchen, she paused at
the door Of the refrigerator and
looked startled. The door was part
ly open-and the box had been all
but emptied Of its provisions.
She and Tom stood for a long
staring at the rified box.

Allowing only three hits in his

to score on Babe Squires' clean hit

keep Allward from being scored

Meanwhile the Merchants at bat
