CHAPTER VII.?Continued. /
"I?I'm afraid," almost sobbing: '
The mayor put his urm about her 0
gently, soothing her ns only a tactful
man may soothe a nervous woman. ?
Unconsciously she drew toward hiiu. -j
"Lightning seqtns terrible," he .said (
evenly, "but as a matter of fact there (
Is nlways more danger on the cars. ?
Statistics prove?"
"What's that?" cried the woman,
apprehensively. "I heard a voice."
The mayor peered out.
"The sheriff!" he muttered under
his breath.
Three men were running toward F
Ihom on the beach, their hcuds %
down, ducking the rain.
Scrambling from under v.he boat,
Mayor Hedight set off at top speed
up the beach, pausing at the start
long enough to whisper.
/I'll be back. Wait."
The shcrifT and his two deputies,
weathering the gale with lowered
eyes, had not seen the mayor's flight.
In fart, so blinded were their eyes
that they ran almost into the girl and
:he boat beforo they could stop.
."Hello!" bawled tho sheriff. "You're
from Squirrel Inn, ain't ye? Where's
yer beau?" bluntly. "We're lookin'
fer him.'?
Miss Crooks drew her ifeet back
under her skirt and replied coldly:
One of the best ways to find a
man," witherlrgly, "Is to go where
he is."
The sheriffs chest shot out immediately.
"Now, look-a-here, young lady,
lone of ypur smartness or we'll take
you along fer accessory before the
act. Understand?" blustering.
"You are wasting your time trying
to bully me," replied the girl, without
a tremor in her voice. "I am
penectiy harmless and I 1 ave told (

the beach."
"Aw. come on. Sid," broke in a
Blender young fellow, turning his back
to the rain. "What the use of'argdln'
with th' gal? She ain't th" one we
had yisterday."
Without a word "the Bhcriff veered
around the boat and, following the
fast fading trail, set out in haste after
Bodlght. Fifteen minutes later
the mayor came up from the opposite
j direction.
"I am sorry, M'sh Brooks," he said,
sorrowfully, "but I'm afrnid you'll get
wet after all. We've got to get away
from here! 1 circled atouud and found
tho boat these fellows left. I set it
adrift with a gale blowing it across
the lake, but they are not far behind.
We must get under way as soon as
possible." , .
"1 don't mind a soaking." replied
the young woman, bravely. "It's the
?the lightning that frightens ind?
i and that's about oult."
The man rlghte he dory hurriedly,
piled in their belt agings and set the
I boat from tho s..ore with a sturdy
1 shove. A half mile below, on the
beach, he caught sight of three men
! running towatd them?and far away
on the wave-whipped lake, a tiny dot
or Drown couia u? oven nsung nna rail-,

It wus the sheriffs row boat.
"Sleeping out of doors." said the mayor,
rmillng at the woman opposite,

on an island."
CHAPTER VIII.
When the waves are running freely
ft Is a stiff pull from Mine Host's
select little hotel in the Wisconsin
woods to Glen Island, but on a perfect
moonlight night, with Just breeze
sufficient to ripple the fair hair of a
pretty girl opposite, the man at the
oars seldom finds the task arduous.
Nor did Mayor Bedlght complain.
The running ripple slapped the prow

shadows alopg the approaching shore

With a scarcely perceptible tilt,

andy shore. ? Bedlght sprang out
nd pulled the craft further upon Its
ushloned anchor* ? The girl sat
i the boat, intt . ' watching the
layor. That t^entlttnan took from
he locker a basket well laden. Quicky

tacked it over a bunch of tinderike

he boat toss Idly upon the lake. Flv^,
en minutes passed. The dry wood
iurned brightly, making a beacon of
Ight, into the circle of which there
ame, at last, three shadows, followed
y unintelligible conversation.
"They've found It," said the mayor,
ticking up his oars and turning the
ioat townrd the hotel.
It was midnight when the sides of
he craft rubbed Its sister boats at
line HoBt's dock. The mayor and
he girl crept softly up the winding
mthway toward the hotel. Suddenly,
a the moonlight ahead, the' form of
woman appeared advancing to meet
hem. The mayor and the girl saw
er simultaneously. He stopped intantly
with a restraining hand upon
he girl's arm.
"Quick!" ho commanded, springing
a front of his companion and turning
er about face. "Walk rapidly down
lie path to the boathouse."
She complied Instantly.
Ovdr his shoulder the mayor saw
he woman hesitate, then follow deermlpedly
through the shimmering
nfconlight.
"Go into the boathouse," directed
Vedight hurriedly. "Walt until I on;hge'
bet- 1t? conversation. Then open
he rear door and run for the hotel,
tnd be quiet!"
.'"I uhderstand," whispered the girl,
xcltedly.
Slipping through the door, she
losed it softly. Pulling a cigar from
lis pocket, the mayor scra'ched a
natch on tho sole of his shoe and
liew- a puff of smoke at the same tor-1
;et which earlier in the evening he
lad failed to hit with his leaden misiile.
The woman rounded the corner and
aine directly toward him.
"1 beg your pardon, Mr. Redlght,"
aid "Judge" Vlnitig in a cold, formal
roice, "for following you, but as chaprone

The mayor bowed.
"Duty to the one performing It," he
nterrupted gallantly, "is oftentimes
rksome, but begrudglngly done froluently
conveys pleasure to unother.

our eyes, but I And your duty pleases
ne greatly," bowing again. "Now, the
noonlight?"
Tho "Judge" made a deprecating
;esture.
"Do not attempt to evade," she
varned. "I am deeply In earnest.
.Vhere Is the?the?" She seemed at
i loss to proceed. Finally she threw
tlplomacy to the winds. "Who was
he girl with you?alone?at this hour
>f the night? I have a right to know
ind I?had thought you a gentleman,
hough I should have known that no
;entleman would have?have?" she
lnishcd lamely.
"Kissed you?" questioned the may)r,

lis voice.
"Certainly!" she flashed.

Impulsively, "I am willing to adml

The man drew cloeet; to her. The
flippancy was gone from his voice.

sist In being man's hardest problem.
"Your frankness In some things."
she said without emotion, "is as commendable
as your lack of It In others.
Must 1. repeat rriy question still another
time? Who Is the girl?"
The mayor spoke firmly and with
doclsion.
"As a man who Is at least' that
much of a gentleman, I refuse to answer.
The girl has done no wrong.
She?"
"Mr. Itedlght, on Tuesday night I
saw one of my crowd of young ludies
leave the arbor after a clandestine
night meeting with you. Tonight I
i chance to blunder upon you at midnight,
again In the company of a
young woman. There are no others
here, aside from our party. I feel a
responsibility and 1 must Insist on
your answering."
i The mayor shrugged his shoulders,
i "Who was she?" asked the "Judge"
for the fourth time.
"Why don't you ask her yourself?"
said the mayor.
"Where Is she?"
"The last I saw of her she went
through that door," ho replied, doggedly.
Ml8b Vinlng stepped toward the
door and opened it. In the farther
I end of the boathouso a second door
stood open and through It the moonlight
streamed.
"I see I have been outwitted," angrily.
"May I walk to the hotel with you?"
asked the mayor humbly.
"I prefer to go alone," she replied
in a tone of finality, starting up the
path.
"Miss Vinlng!"
It was the mayor calling from the
dock.
. She stopped.
"What is it, Mr. Redlght?" impatiently.
"You remember saying the girl with
me must be one of your party because
there were no other young ladles
about ?"
"Yes," crisply.
The mayor's voice had something
of the old ring in it as he asked:
d "Did you think of the colored
cook?"
But the "Judge," going up the ^jath
e briskly, did not deign to reply.

' CRUST COVERED BABY'S HEAD
G32 Brunswick St., Baltimore, Md.?
f "My baby's face broke out in pimples,
which after bathing would weep and
k form scabs until his head and face
t were completely covered with a crust
e and his hair all fell out. It was cross
and would not sleep. Each day it
f spread until his entire face and head
>- were covered with weeping sores. I
tried several prescriptions, but did not
find any relief. Then 1 decided to try
( Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
if "After using them two or three
t times the sores dried up and after a
hnlf dozen applications all disfigurei
ment disappeared. In less than three
*- weeks the sores and scales were comfi
|>pletely gone, and baby's skin as
r smooth and clear as when he was first
d born, Cutlcura. Soap and Ointment
t cured him.'1 (Signed) Mrs. Ixittie V.

Member of the Union.
Men who worked under a former
city editor on the Washington I'ost
vouch for the truth of this story i.bout
him.
The telegraph editor, so the story
goes, got a "flash" one night that John
La Farge, the painter, was dead. He
called the news out to tho city editor,
who, catching only the name and profession,
yelled to a reporter:
"Willoughby! A painter by the
name of La Farge is dead. Rush down
| to the Central I-ibor Union and see
I what you can dig up about him!"
Cruel to Be Kind.
"What makes you carry that horrible
shriek machine for un automobile
signal?"
"For humane reasons," replied Mr.
Chuggins. "If I can pnralyze a person
with fear he will keep still and I
can run to one side of him."
