SIXTEEN, Noble gave his head a vicious shake, suspecting that he was drunk, and afraid that he wasn't. Stunned by the surprise of coming upon such a scene, and befuddled by the liquor in his stomach, he stood staring at the pair seated below him. Damn! Right before his eyes! Laurel with her head resting upon David Gaines’ shoulder, and one hand clasped in the youth's fingers. As one hypno- tized, Noble watched Gains run his hand caressingly back and forth Laurel's forehead. The intensity of his gaze acted upon Gaines’ intuition and caused the youth to turn, startled. “Mr. Harwood... Er. ... I'm afraid your wife {s ill.” As he spoke Laurel, as if suddenly awakened, turned her head wearily toward her husband, then held out a hand to him. “I'm so sick, Noble.” There was helplessness in her glance. Her husband hesitated no longer but stepped forward and pulled her up to her feet. Glaring at Gaines, he exclaimed: “Why didn’t you call! for someone, you idiot! Here, take the other arm.” He led the way down the stairs and toward the state- room, They half carried, half dragged Laurel until Noble halted, picked he up like a child, and carried her unaided- “Call. Dr. Warner,” he said sharply to Gaines, who was fol- lowing them. Laying her prone upon the bed, he loosened her clothing, and began to fan her: Laurel looked at him through feverish eyes, and spoke weakly: “You shouldn’t have been so rude to Mr. Gaines, dear. I fainted I think, and he was just exclted—.” “J guess so! Never mind about that pup.

There was silence between them until he remarked, “Getting brisk, isn't it?” “I'm afraid I chose a bad evening —the sea is running too strong for landsmen. Out of deference to the ladies, I’m putting in.” Noble*was glad when his host pro- ceeded toward the bridge; he wanted to be alone. Captain Wingman set his guests ashore at the private wharf of the Oyster Sound Country “Club half an hour ‘later, Laurel revived as soon as she got her feet upon level ground, Charley Buckmaster led the way to the clubhouse pulling his wife along and growling, “Rotten sallors—what an awful bunch of rotten sailors.” “Now Charles," Mrs. Buckmaster said quietly. “The ladies couldn't saturate themselves with liquor un- til they were immune.” The others laughed, and Charley was quiet.
