Then she gasped, for he stepped on the coaming and plunged jverboard in a beautiful, arching live. A second later his head ihowed glistening above the gray vater, and he swam toward her with i slow overhand stroke. It seemed in age, although the actual time was Drlef enough, before ho reached her. Hie saw then that there was method n his madness, for the line strung nit behind him. fast to a cleat on the launch.

He made the line fast to a thwart near the bow. Holding fast with one hand, he drew -the swamped canoe up to the lunch. In that con tinuous roll It was no easy task to get Stella aboard, but they managed it, and presently she sat shivering in the cockpit watching the man spill the water out of the canoe till it rode buoyantly again. Then he went to work at his engine methodically, wiping dry the ignition terminals and all the various connections where moisture could effect a short circuit. At the end of a few min utes he turned the starting crank. The multiple cylinders fired with a roar. He moved back behind the wrecked wind shield where the steering gear stood. "Well, Miss Shipwrecked Ma riner," said he lightly, "where do you wish to be landed?" , "Over there, if you please. Stella pointed to where the red roof of the bungalow stood out against the green. "I'm Mrs. Fyfe." * "Ah!" said he. An expression of veiled surprise flashed across his face. "Another potential romance strangled at birth. You know, I hoped you were some local maiden before whom I could pose as a he roic rescuer. Such is life. Odd too. Linda Abbey—l'm the Monohan tail to the Abbey business kite, you see —impressed me us pilot for a spin this afternoon and backed out at the last moment. I think she smelled this blow. So I went out for a ride by myself. I was glowering at that new house through a glass when I spied yftu out in the thick of It." He had the clutch in now, and the launch was cleaving the seas, even at half speed throwing out wide wings of spray. Some of this the wind brought across the cockpit. "Come up into this seat," Monohan commanded. "I don't suppose you can get any wetter, but If you put your feet' rough this bulkhead door the heat from the engine will warm you. By Jove, you're fairly shivering.'* "It's lucky for me you happened along," Stella remarked when she was ensconced behind the bulkhead. "I was getting so cold. I don't know how much longer I could have stood it." "Thang the good glasses that picked you tout. You were only a speck on the water, you know, when I sighted you first." He kept silent after that. All his faculties were centered on'the seas ahead which rolled up before the sharp cutwater of the launch. He was making time and etill trying to avoid boarding seas. When a big one lifted ahead he slowed down. He kept one hand on the throttle con trol, whistling under his breath dis connected snatches of song. Stella studied his profile, clean cut as a cameo and wholly pleasing. Ho was almost as big bodied as Jack Fyfe and fully four inches taller. The wet shirt clinging close to his body outlined well knit shoulders, ropy muscled arms. He could easily have 1 posed for a vlklng\ so strikingly blond was he, with fair curly hair. She judged that he might be around thirty, yet his face was altogether boyish. While Stella sat there, drawn faced with the cold, the launch slipped into the quhet nook of Cougar bay and slowed down to the float. Monohan helped her out, threw off the canoe's painter and climbed back into the launch. "You're as wet as I am," Stella said. "Won't you come up to the house and get a change of clothes? I haven't even thanked you. "Nothing to be thanked for," he smiled up at her. "Only please re member not to get offshore in a canoe again. I mightn't be handy the next time, and Roaring lake's fickle as your charming sex—all smiles one minute, storming the next. No, I won't stay this time, thanks. A little wet won't hurt me. I wasn't in the water long enough to get chilled, you know. I'll be home in half an hour. Run along and get • dressed, Mrs. Fyfe. and drink something hot to drive that chill away. Goodby."

"Well," said Warren, speaking with a decision he never used un less it prophesied something serious "the Fat's in the fire." "Oh, Warren, what has happened now?" Helen asked laughing in spite of herself. "Matter enough; we've got to move." "Move?" Helen almost shrieked the word. "That's what I said. I went up to see about the lease to-day and we are to be raised $5 a month." "Well, , but every one is being raised, we're not the only ones." "We'll find a place that's cheaper." "O, Warren," Helen almost wailed. "Surely you're Joking. Why, we can't move. We like the place, and the neighborhood. There's no reason why wo should go, excepting for that increase." "Of course that increase doesn't mean anything to you—you don't pay for it." "Well, but I'd be glad to pay for it. I'd scrape and save and deny myself other things." "Yes, you'd rather do that than go to a little trouble." "A little trouble. Why, you don't know what you're talking about, Warren. Of course the brunt of Ihe thing would fall on me. I would be the one to hunt up an apartment and oversee everything after we started. I simply won't do it, that's all.**- "Then you are willing to be walked over, rather than move. We might find something we'd like a lot better than we do this, and much cheaper, too." "Yes, and we might not. You re member how Frances had to hunt before she found her place." "That was different. Frances wanted a place downtown and a studio at that. They're always hard to get." "Well, I am not going to move, Warren." "Don't be foolish, Helen; you know there's not any reason in the world for your talking like that. If I can't afford to pay the increase we shall have to move and that's all there is to it." "Can't afford to pay," said Helen, sarcastically, now that she saw that Warren was actually in earnest. "Why, of course you can afford to. I told you that I'd be willing to man age it myself. It's only for the sake of a principle that you want to act Without doubt the coat dress makes an all-important feature of the new fashions. It is one of the smartest possible garments and it is one of the most be coming. Here is an excellent example. It is cut on the sim ple, dignified lines that make the essential characteristics of the Fall and it can be made from serge or from gabardine to be adapted to every-day uses, or it can be made from velvet or from silk to be adapted to after noon occasions. In the picture, it is made of gabardine com bined with satin. It makes a handsome gown and one that can be used for many occasions. For every-day use one would, of course, make the sleeves to match the gown. Women who are giving their time to the various needs of national ser vice will find such a costume of inestimable value. It is exceed ingly easy to slip on and off and at the same time it is always amart and dignified in effect. For the medium sizs will be needed, yards of material 44 inches wide, yards £4, with IJ4 yards 36 inches wide for the sleeves and trimming to make as shown in the illustra tion, 5 yards of material 54 inches wide to make the entire gown. The pattern No. 9526 is cut in sizes from 36 to 46 inches bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, 00 receipt of fifteen cents. stubbornly. You men are always so afraid some one is doing you." "And you women are always afraid of a change. That's the trouble with you, you women lack the adventur ous spirit that men have. You can't see the fun in making a change. I'd be willing to move for that alone." "Yes, indeed, you would, I know that, provided I did the hard work. I don't think I'd mind the change myself if I had some one to tell me about a desirable place that I could fust run in and see and take without any fuss, and then if all the things didn't have co be packed and all the disagreeable details attended to. Oh, it's easy enough to talk of adventure and chtange, but we're not gypsies, you know, with no more furniture than can be comfortably carried in a gypsy van." "Well, you want to stay here, then?" "Certainly, I do. Warren Curtis, do you know that you're making all this fuss about sixty dollars a year?

Helen had sprung her trump card, for Warren had not thought of that. The reducing of the problem to actual cash made him change his mind, and he looked thoughtful. "By George," he said, finally. "X never thought of that." "And while you're finding so much fault with this apartment and talk ing about the excitement and adven ture of moving, think back Just a year when Frances moved, of the trouble she had, and the things that were broken, and the remark you made, which, of course, you don't remember." "What was that?' asked Warren sheepishly. "You said you wouldn't move out of this house unless they evicted you. How you have chanjed in a year." "Well, X don't like the idea of a raise in rent, but I must admit that what you say is true. Of course everything has gone up, and rents are raised proportionately."
