/fenny Forbes, s tar polo play or.
and his beautiful wife, Joan, are
temperamental mlimate*. Joan
Irants a divorce. Fanny hesitates.
l oving her, although secretly know
ing she loves Abner Gratman.
While they are all guests on a
weekend cruise on the yacht of
B timer, a lumber king, a widow.
Clare, vamps Fanny, arousing Btiv
ner’e jealousy. But when Fanny
avows Clare means nothing to him,
Btimer aids Fanny punish Abner,
Who is trapped with Joan. Abner
is set in a dory behind the yacht.
Joan defiantly joins Abner, who
recklessly cuts adrift. They are
lost in the stormy night.
CHAPTER Xlll.—Continued
Suddenly there rushed down
upon Abner a great sea fear of
(he storm, of the savage sea, of the
Weird loneliness. The racing
eaves, plucking at the oars, nearly
lore the arms out of Abner’s body.
He drew in the oars and whim
pered: "1 can’t seem to make any
headway!"
Joan was as cool as he was ex
sited: "My word, man. keep your
bead!. Are you afraid?"
Abner was too panicky to feel
abashed by the hint of contempt in
ter voice.
Without waiting for a reply, she
went on:
"Chaps like you really shouldn't
tmbark on this sort of Joyride, you
enow! You’ve had no experience
(t this sort of scrape. It take 3 a
nan like Runny to make a woman
!eel comfortable—in the open.
What ever possessed you to cut
oose, Abner, dear?"
There was no reproach, only In
lulgent wonder, In her voice She
telt strangely impelled to mother
his helpless male.
Abner’s demoralization, however,
vas so complete by now that his
inly lucid thought was that he was
“ You're mine — mine — mine/"
it last alone with Joan- -under cir
cumstances that put her under h.s
tontrol
A bestial blue flame made his
eyes gleam in the pitchy darkness
ilke an animal’s, as he rose in the
tossing boat and lurched toward
loan.
“Abner, you chump, sit down!"
tried Joan In quick apprehension
as the man tried to reach her.
‘‘You’ll get a .broken head, or have
ns both drowned. If you don’t alt
down!"
But there was no halting Abner
now. The storm and the peril of
the moment had been shoved into
the background of his conscious
ness by the desire to possess—by
an all-consuming primitive lust.
He was the tribal runt, quaking
In a usurped cave with a stolen
mate under the gods of storm and
the wraths of pursuers, blindly and
’desperately bidding for one full mo
ment of coveted delight and phys
ical happiness before the mountain
should topple down upon him.
Joan fought to free herself. "Ab
ner. have you gone Insane?”
"Yes,” he mewled, "Insane about
yon. Nothing else In all the world
blatters but you. dearest—”
"Tell that to me some other time,
man!"
"There will be no other time.
Tve wanted yon so long, ached for
you—and now I have you alone at
last. You’re mine, now—mine
alone!"
“Not until 1 get a divorce. I’ve
told yon I"
“Divorce be hanged!” He was
almost gibbering. “You’re mine—
mine*—mine—”
Deep within, Joan, too, felt a
primal Impulse—a barbaric Joy In
the wildnesa of the elements, the
clutching hardness of her lover’s
arms* the brutlsbnees of his hot
breath and Incandescent eyes. For
one long, burning minute Joan'e
nature reverted ten thousand years.
The whip of cold, wind-driven rata
only served to sting her blood to
greater frensy. The pitching of the
boat intoxicated her. Something
latent In her being, aome inherited
passion, unstirred for countless
generations, answered the animal
glint in Abner’a fevered eyes. It
was a moment of madness.
A rare moment, in which the
world stood wildly still sad trem
bled on foe bruising Idee of seek
tag lips.
Deeds Farm To God.
Milan county, Texas, is experienc
ing something unique in Its farming
history. About two miles northwest
of Bockdale, that county, between
the Bushdale and Tracy roads, lie
an abandoned farm, grass-grown
and neglected. According to the
Roskdble Reporter, some years ago
the owners of the property, one Ru
dolph Bowling and his wife, now
residing near Geuse, the same conn-'
ty, executed a deed to the property

But a moment, alio, that thu
storm selected to send along a par- I
tlcularly high ware, which the dory ;
crested —and an uncommonly deep ,
after-trough, into which It dropped
slckenlngly.
Fate, the humorist, as the dory
crashed, brought together with a
vicious rap the lips that sought
each other In the darkness. And
bumped .Abner's forehead hard
against Joan's nose.
The pain snapped Joan out of the
primitive paat, to the perilous pres

desire to kiss Abner.
In his scare, Abner, too, lost all
desire to kiss Joan. Jarred out of
a miasmatic fog of passion, he
CLUNG to Joan.
The romantic side of Joan had
been flattered to think of a lover
who could be so oblivious to the
possibility of death, which stared
him In the face, and could think
only of seizing the chance, how
ever Inopportune, to press his love
Joan had thought thaf this augured
well for bis enthusiasm. : But Joan,
being a woman, was romantic SEC

This practical turn of her nature
was flabbergasted by the insanity
of the situation She realized, fqr
! the first time, on a flood of reac
i tion. that Abner was CLINGING to I
I her. not embracing her There was j
decidedly a difference.
! '‘Abner," she shouted sharply
"brace up and do something to get
us out of this before we’re swamp

"But I've told you there's aoth [

If the crisis was to be mastered
she would have to assume full
charge She did eo. calmly pa
tiently, and with an almost mother

ness toward Abner.
Even when she sought to set him
an example by scooping out hand

Joan wes‘ going to pieces It was
In the nature of things that she
should, for despite her unepmmoa
physical courage, the psychological
strain of Abner’s panic had subtly
disintegrated her own fibre.
The dory was whirling, bobbing,
crazily threatening every moment
to somereault from the summit of
some wave.
A last surge of fighting courage
swept over Joan. If she must go
down, she would go down lighting.
She had Imbibed that courageous
philosophy of the game of life from
Runny. •
