Some one was shaking the door. She sat up and listened. The housekeeper slept | soundly. The shaking continued. Heavy blows were struck on the door. There was a growling of men's voices. A man’s head appeared at the window and then vanished. The attack on the door ceased. There were foot- steps on the sand and then the rat- tling of oars and the swish of a boat. Ethe! ran into the next room and shook the housekeeper Into terrified wakefulness. Two frightened. hastily dressed women ran down the beach to the other cabin half a mile away. At the first call under his window Bertram staggered up and threw on his clothes. Far down the river they could hear the regular dip of oars. The boat was going toward the town, two miles in the distance. Bertram rowed Ethel and the maid | back to their cabin. “I shall sleep in the hammock on your porch the rest of the night,” he announced. “You will rest Letter if you know there is a protector on guard.” The next morning a skiff landed be- fore Ethel's cabin.
