happy group of seventeen
gathered at 1O:30 at the boat
house of William v. Grier for
a ride down the Mispillion Riv-
er and out ON the bay on his
yacht, the @one-Thirty." The
weather was perfect with the
sun shining brightly and just
enough breeze to make the trip
enjoyable. After a delightful
ride, the boat docked at Lewes
for dinner, which was served
at the Hotel Caesar Rodney.
Then the party returned to the
"One-Thirty" and proceeded
homeward, after spending a
most enjoyable day, arriving in
town at $50. Mr.. Grier's guests
were Mrs: Pearl Prettyman,
Mrs. Frances Moore, Miss Vir-
ginia Fisher. Mrs. Cathel Ben

of the critics had been more than moderately

AS she kept looking for him amongst the

ofroad that led to DR.. Masters establishment
and compound, her lips were taut, her eyes
hard. There was no sign of Rick yet.
In THE familiar little office that opened off
the larger, airier laboratory, Ruth Foster
removed her pith helmet and shook out the
honey-colored curls that clung close to her
head.

Yes, Rick agreed, and added: Two years

aloud, and an Eurasian gentleman very

She was busy with specimens as if - as if

now of all but few personal papers that

he picked up. This is for YOU he said,

She went back to her specimens. Again
Rick was alone with Ruth Foster. DR.. Masters

he saw she wished everything now to be as

She could see his broad shoulders and the
familiar lowering of his head as he lodged
the low doorway into the tropic sunlight. She
stood looking out into the succeeding empti-
ness; the familiar scenery framed by the door
seemed drained of color, and the patch of
shade to deepen where Chola the native boy
lay asleep. Through the doorway her two
years with Rick came flooding Memories of
days bright as new-minted coins Nights of
magic splendor, the stars too big to be real,
the murmur of surf beyond the reef alive
with voices from a world from which Time
had been excluded.
