Outrageous Fortune SYNOPSIS: A man lies muin- - Hing in hie aleep in the Elston hos- pital.

That's where the Arden broke up. She was driven in with the gale, and there the current got ner and she smashed on ‘the Tocks. You must have read about it.

As she walked beside the nurs: along the left-hand passage, she was wondering about that marked linen. What would Jimmy be doing with his initials on his shirt and pants? Why, the last thing on earth he’d want when he was out on-a job would be anything like that—and this had been the biggest job yet. If his things were marked, it wasn’t any of her marking;- and that was certain. All her muscles tightened up a little as they came into a light airy room with a row of windows down one side and a wide verandah at the far end. The ward was rathervempty.-Half a dozen beds were.out on the veran- dah, and the sound of eheerfal con- yersation came-back into the empty Space and echoed -theve, ‘Between | TANKER BRINGS | OIL SUPPLY FOR | NAVAL STATION |onE MILLION GALLONS OF | FUEL PUMPED INTO TANKS FOR USE BY VESSELS CALL- ING AT THIS PORT | { 1 The tanker Alabama, of the Texas Oil Company, arrived in port last night and is today dis- charging a cargo of 1,000,000 gallons fuel oil into the tanks at the naval station.
