CHAPTER XLVm The vagaries of the average young woman'a heart, proclaim the many. True love, they say, hath a way for Mary Hathaway that for Susie Boles It hath not Without a well developed sense of humor, Margery Lynne would not havs fallen In love with Jimmy Blair under the rather remarkable circumstances that prevailed. It was pity first, then knowledge of the heroic deed that had brought about hla Injury, the romanticism attached to his kidnaping and afterward acquaintance and liking for Pat Through it all, like the main thread In a fabric, ran the amusing notion that she might win jimmy's love without his knowledge, during the period of his subconsclousness when he was himself Margery never doubted but wha Jimmy would eventually "pick up lost would recognize In her, his affinity. None but a humorously inclined, highly developed Imagination ever could have follower with such pertinacity of purpose, the Una of thought that Margery consist- entry pursued. And it was owing to her own Ingenuous way of looking al and living, that she was able to obtain she did out of her dally association with Jimmy and Pat.

During the first 48 hours after leaving New York the chill air of late February kept Pat and her friends a greater part of the time within the comfortable confines of the yacht's commodious cabin. A pfano and a talking machine furnished music for dancing fcj the evening, and In dancing, eating, talking playing and sleeping the hours flitted past so swiftly they could hardly realize the cruise was nearly two days old and that the Bluebird had made a run of 700 miles. Margery and Lucy, coming Into the cabin after a brisk exercise jaunt around the ship's promenade decks Informed the half dozen-still sitting wound the breakfast table that "the weather outside is as-soft and balmy us a day In June!" "Then it's me for the 'soft and balmy!" averred Rex, hoping as he spoke that the "one girl" would lyess a like Intension. Which the "ono girl" did but Dr. Frank Gordon, on the following Instant expressed himself also as being seized -with a craving for the otcnn breeze.

only that, but ho addressed hia intention directly to the "ono girl" with tho added suggestion th'at they go after the breeze In company. And since, as tho old Baying has it, "two Is company, but three is a crowd," the lieutenant's desire for tho "soft and balmy" died virtually In ita horning. While thoro had been no word spoken on the subject by cither man olnce the 'brief talk taxlcab, the-, heretofore mentioned agreement" anent Pat and the love game" second, In some way another, by some sort of telepath cally mutual understanding, to been ejected into the" limbo of dii carded things. barriers, obv ously, had been raised; It was no each man for himself. In his character of a friend, Prank Gordon was closer to "Re Dallard than any other living ma During their few months of inlimav association he had come to know an like the young doctor for his man lovable qualities.

He knew that Go: don was what he called a "squai shooter." Ho knew, too, that In ad dltlon to being a "square shooter the other was of a generous, broad minded and altogether unselfish na ture, the kind of a man who take real pleasure in helping others eve when the helping entails a sacrific on his part And yet, despite all this and mor despite the fact that he liked Gor don above all men and knew tha Gordon liked him, probably, equall as well, he told himself as he watche this friend-rival pass out of th cabin with the "one girl" that wished, most heartily wished tha "the cuss would fall down and brca his neck!" Rex Dallard did not, of coursx wish any such thing. He did wisf however, honestly and conscientious ly, that the doctor could transfe his affections to some girl other tha Lucy Pine, for instanc Lucy, Rex -was sure would mak Gordon a wonderful wife. Oddl enough Dr. Frank Gordon, just th day before, had' told himself almos Identically the same thing only had named Rex Dallard for Lucj But did she think them? That was the question Re was the most disturbed about. I just- what light was Gordon held, wondered.

In what light was he. Re Dallard, held by this girl for he stood ready at any moment, i the need presented itself, to glv up his very, life? How did she con elder him? Did she like either on Gordon or himself, any better tha the other? She knew, of course, tha both of them were deeply in lov with her. A woman always know whether a man loves her or not. 1 she did like ono of them a littl the best, which was It? Rex had told himself time with out number that nothing would eve induce him to ask for Pat Blair land In marriage. She had too muc noney, had been his cry to hlmsel Since Jimmy's restoration, howevc his Ideas on the subject had under rone something of a revision.

He onger felt so determined in regan the money question. And anyhow Jiat was an after consideration. Th mportant question now was: Did sh an eternal hoot for either them, Gordon or he? -If That was the conslderatio right now.

But would that, get him anywhere? Wouldn't It, be a fool thing to precipitate matters by putting such a question to her any reason whatsoever for thinking she cared for him? If she over had, or give him any sign, any excuse to hope, then he would be justified.

But until she did offer him something on which to feed a hope, his best plan of attack, to use a "soldier's phrase, was "watchful waiting." Having arrived, at this very sensible conclusion, Rex felt much better. And since reeling better was equivalent to feeling fit. he felt the Immediate need ot a little exercise in the open air. Reaching the main deck he looked forward and saw that which both puzzled and astonished Standing close to the port rail Just opposite the pilot house were Margery and Jimmy Blair.

Mother Nature.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel thinks himself very smart. He wants other peopie to think him very smart It upset him a whole lot to be unable to find out where Whltefoot the Wood Mouse was living. He wouldn't admit that Whltefoot smart enough to keep his home a secret from them. So he spent more time hunting for Whltefoofs home than any oneAcnetr of. One day he happened to be poking around In the bushes on the edge of the Green Forest, in the hope that he might find a hazel nut or two hidden under the dead leaves.

Finally, he looked up and there over his head was a big great, gray globe. Chatterer knew what It was at once. He has seen wasp's nests before. He knew all about the hot tempered little people that built them. He knew that In winter there was nothing to fear from them.

"I believed I'll climb up there and have a look at that nest," said Chatterer to himself. "I'd like to see what it is like inside. There is nothing to be afraid of now. If any wasps stayed in that nest an winter they are either dead by this time or asleep, and I had Just as soon have two or three to eat." So Chatterer started to climb up to the nest. But he had hardly left the ground when another thought came to him and he stopped to consider u.

"It is pretty warm today." thought he, "and somo insects get to stirring around on a warm day like this. I wouldn't like to find wasp that had come to life. They certainly can, sting. Yes, sir, they certainly can sting. One stung me once and I don't want to be stung again.

Of course, there may not be any wasps In there. I don't suppose there are. It Is better to play safe than to be sorry, however. We shall have some more cold days yet and a cold day Is the kind of day to poke around in a wasp's nest. I'll wait for a cold day." So Chatterer Jumped down to the ground and once more began poking around under the leaves, searching for htizel nuts.

He didn't give that nest another thought. Ho didn't even look up at it. All the time a pair of black, bright eyes were watching "I will thank you so much for an Chatierer watchln answer to my letter.
