"Starved?" Dorothy nodded. "Please, Mr. Fri day." Then, when he had made her a bacon sandwich, she took a huge bite and wont over to the enemy, sitting down In the sand and conversing with him In the most friendly way Imag inable. "Shipwrecked?" he asked. Dorothy told their story, railing upon Nan to verify the facts, but Nan sat at a distance her face turned stonily away, her heart sore and re sentful. She was watching the waves as they pounded on the rocks below, she wondered if he would care If she was lying dead there among the sea weed. She was feeling very sad tomor row they were leaving Coral Point and she might never see lim again. He ha;! a tensing way with him that Irked her now, only a few hours after the quarrel, she was missing him. What had they quarreled about? Such a trifle she wus shocked that she bad almost forgotten the cause. He was coming now, with Dorothy, she could hear their voices in friendly argu ment. "If I lovisl anyone well enough to become engaged well enough to plan to spend the rest of my life with him or her," declared wise young Dorothy, "and remember It would have to he -i great and glorious love (or I wouldn't love at ail), then. It would have to be some huge difference that would sepurnte us! If he wanted to wear red neckties, even and I loathe iht in I would say I love the hum and I can lean, to endure red neckties because I loved him so much and be would feci tlu same way about trltles und I mut ie about the boat!" :md Dorothy tied around the beach, leaving Nan and the Mun Friday alone together. She got up and stood uncertainly, tears were hriiiiiiiin her eyes, and she could hear his beloved footsteps com ing nearer. She must be llrst to make amends. She was In the wrong. "Mr. Friday," tdie culled tn a quav ering voice. "I am sorry I" What Mr. Friday said was Intended for Nan's eur alone, but I am sure It had nothing to do with red neckties. Young Dorothy coming suddenly up on them, dashed hack out of sight an I w hen she had subdued her g'g gles, annouueed her coiuipg by a brisk "Ship ahoy hotel h.uuch In the off ing!" and scampered away. Jim Treadwell smiled tt-nderly down at Nau. The blessed angel," he mut tered, unaware that the augel Lu ques tion was rating up the bacon and corn-bread.
