A bullet wound in the temple shows the manto ha re been murdered. Gay ,covers.:the dead face with a handkerchief, and makes her way to the "Captain" with the story. Returning with him to the shore they find no body there, and Gay's story of the incident is .!it down to an attack of "nerves." Chapter IV—Gay, unable to con- vince her neighbors of the truth draws a picture of the face of the dead man, intending to send it to the authorities as evidence of the appar- ent crime. She meets a stranger, ap- parently another visitor, to whom she tells the story and shows the picture. 'He asks her to let him take it, but Gay refuses. Next -day, after a night spent with "Auutaitrtiry, Gay finds. the picture has been taken from the cottage. "Rand" Wallace, wanderer and considered something of a "black sheep," by the islanders, expecting to find "Auntalmiry," surprises Gay at household tasks. She likes him at once. CHAPTER V -Gay's acquaintance with Rand ripens into affection. She sees the Chinaman again and this time it sure it is not imagination. Rand leaves the island on business. Gay de- termines to stay for the winter. Chapter VL—The stranger whore Gay had inet on the day of her dis- covery of the body introduces him- self as Ronald 'Ingrain', like herself, a visitor on the island.

Rand tapped his fingers thought- fully upon her arm, his ;eyes dark, brows contracted. His lips were cur- iously pursed and rigid. "And this is the strangest thing of all. When I carne back the blinds were all down, though I was sure I had left them ttp, And, Rand, the sketch I had made of the body in the cove was gone." Rand stared at her a moment, in- credulous, "Yott innocent! You gullible!

"Well, Ill come then, • If anybody thinks it's any pleasure to be the ad- ministrator for an old fool that tries to run good tenants out of his own houses- Well, come on, then.' " Not one word passed between them as they made their way swiftly down the lane and up the hill slope. "John," Alice Andover began with icy coldness, "will you kindly tell me who is the administrator of this es- tate?" John removed a rusty nail fromhis mouth. "You are, Alice," he said, fitting it carefully into a hole in the frame, "but I'm the one that puts up the storm windows." Bang, bang, 'sent the hammer as he spoke. Alice Andover wavered uncertainly, flushed with anger, but clung to the "Not the Lone Pine, not this year," she cried gayly. "You will have to wait until November. You:wouldn't shut me up behindstorm windows, would you?" "But I allus do put them tip come first of October," he persisted. Then Alice Andover breezed in, smiling good ;cheer, a little out of breath. "I saw you coming up the hill," she said. "I suppose you are off to Broadway, like all our summer Birds of Paradise. It is only we, drab and somber native sparrows who brave the island winters.", When Gay explained that she wish- ed to continue another month Alice Andoverfairly radiated satisfacticr;. "You will love the island in October, my dear. The summer colony is nice, ye's, but the island without them is a different place, a dearer place—not so gay, but finer, A'Tittle heaven, a little paradise. We settle down. We have time for things. We talk,' WO live, we have leisure for thought, for feeling; after the hectic summer we draw a deep breath." And suiting'. the action to the word, she breathed so deeply she quite choked upon her. sentiment, and the Captain cizuckled. slyly before he took advantage of the moment to interpolate plaintively: "But T anus do put up the storm. windows on the summer houses conte October first," And on the morning of October first, Gay, awakening early, was con- scious of a confusion' of sounds upon her Hilltop, a sound of trundling, a sound of -thudding, muffled swearing in a high-pitched, gentle, unprofane little voice, She wrapped herself it a heavy robe and ran down. The Captain stood by the piazza ;carefully unloading from his rickety wheel- barrow the huge wooden frames to protect the windows from the winter storms, a.difficult 'matter for the frail old than, sp that he accompanied his effforts with panting gusts of breath- lessness, and much gentle profanity.': "Captain— Why—what in -the world—" "First of October,.

He looked persistently away from. her, down the peaceful smiling little valley, its :profusion of harvest apples, festooned with silver cobwebs, A. nor'easter. ! She flew into her clothes, down the hill and tip the lane to Mrs. Andov- er's, s, "See here," she shouted; "conte �uie k , He's putting tip the' stornn �� c lY windows," "My dear! He's not!

The Captain smiled amiably, drop- ping his nails back into the bag, "Reckon you won't want these storm windows put up then, will ye? Shall I store 'emin the cellar for ye?" When Gay swung up the hill slope that afternoon, joyous in complete ownership,; she saw Rand sitting on the piazza step. Her eyes were shin- ing as shetold hint of her acquire- ment. "You do love me," he said in a low voice and kissed her, Gay in her triumph; she led him, hear you," he answered gently._ Gay looked around her, far and wide—at the shivery little forest of spruce and birch, whispering hope, at the orchard in its emu= gold below, at the little cottage on ,its rocky perch, a lookout over land and sea. She looked, and thought of Rand. A. little thrill tugged at her .heart. She could not go away. "Isn't the cottage for sale? How much do you want for it? Perhaps I'll buy it." "My dear!

It was hers, the home of her love, her cleft in the rocks, her bit of bare ocean, her rift of forest. Hers, all hers, and for love. She bee logged to it, it belonged to her, and both alike for Rand. "But don't you realize, Gay," he said soberly, when they sat quiet, side by "side, at last, "that you will not be happy here for long? It is because it is temporary that it is dear to you, You love me, and you love this place, because you can get away from us whenever you like.
