he roaring exhausts died. Amid
he whistle of the wind and the mur
nur of broken water the launch
taggered like a drunken man and
urched off Into the trough, deep
lown by the head with the weight

The man in her stood up with
lands cupped over his mouth.
"Can you hang on awhile longer,"

"I'm all right," she called back.
She saw him heave up the en

le bailed rapidly. Then he span the

The launch lay heavily In the
rough. The canoe, rising and cling
ng on the crest of each wave, was
•arried forward a few feet at a
ime, taking the run of the sea faster
han the disabled motorboat. So now
inly a hundred odd feet separated
hem, but they could come no nearer,
"or the canoe was abeam and slowly
liiifting past.
Stella saw the man stoop and

land. 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

Drlef enough, before ho reached her.
Hie saw then that there was method

now. Hang on a minute.
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

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,

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

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

sheepishly.

"Well, X don't like the idea of a
