CHAPTER XXV "Are you always so sure of yourself, Mark?” she asked. “Have you j always io much faith in your good American morality?” Mark wasn’t, and knew it, recalling many a sleepless night spent in futile self-arguments, but he I thought it decidedly best not to adj mit it. "Right is right,” he said, "and I wrong is wrong. That’s a simple : fact, isn’t it?” “I never met a simple fact,” | countered Vanya. “They must exist ' only in countries like America.” They moved into the dark hall, and Mark felt the girl stiffen suddenly beside him. “I’m sure I left my door open,” she whispered in puzzled tones. “Left it open? Well, it probably blew shut.” “Look!” said Vanya, as he opened the door. “Some one tea* here!” A drawer of the bureau stood partly open; articles of clothing projected from it. “I kept that in perfect order!” said the girl. “Some one—the same person—came back after the—after the things I gave you.” she ended in a low whisper. “This is becoming outrageous!” snapped Mark. “Anyway, it couldn’t have been Loring; he was singing on the beach. “Which only proves he was awake,” observed Vanya. “Isn’t there any way of locking this relic of a door?” “There's a lock, but no key.” Mark examined the lock—a simple device of the cheapest make. “I have a bunch of personal keys,” he mused. “It’s possible one might fit.” He slipped quietly back to his room and returned with a key-ring. Almost his first attempt was successful; the long-unused lock turned with a shrill creaking. He slipped the kev from its ring, and handed it to Vanya. “At least,” he said, “no one can turn that lock without rousing you.” e He bent and kissed her, and went silently back to his room, smiling at a sardonic thought in his mind. For the key he had given her was his own latch-key, to the old-fashioned white house in far away Spring Brook. A Curious Situation “Good riddance,” observed Loring as he and Mark watched the receding Porpoise, some days later. “With Orris gone. I’ll have a chance at the piano, if a ship happens in.” “Does Shene pay well?” queried Mark. “Ten shillings, and I take it out i in drinks. By the glass, too—the dog!—not by the bottle.” He flipped a pebble in the direction of the departing Porpoise. “By the way. you ] and the lady seem in better mutual agreement of late.” ■, “Yes,” said Mark shortly, fear- i ing the satyric beachcomber’s keen I analysis of his attitude. “Do you know your singing disturbs her?” < “Doubtless. But that’s one reason « she's maintained a higher relative 1 level than her companions. My ' songs waken her memory, and she l struggles against the strictures of < her fate. Life is to struggle, Comrade, and that’s where Vanva and ; I differ. I remember, but I don’t I struggle.” i “It’s to her credit that she does.” '■ “If you want credit," shrugged ’ Loring. “The only sort that inter- 1 ests me is at Peariy Hhene’s bar.” Mark laughed, and stared out at ‘ the vanishing Porpoise, now riding far distant on the green Pacific I swells. The warm sun on his back 1 made the cool water seem even more desirable. “Does one swim here?” he asked. 1 “Who’d want to? liong or 1 Shene?” « “You might, or Vanya.” “I wash occasionally. Vanya carries water to her room long before ] you’re up each morning. Probably i hasn't a suit, and if she swims, it’s on a deserted stretch of the beach.” “But it’s safe?” 1

“Safe enough. An occasional .. shark, but I never saw a shark atu tack a person. You hear tales. Then j there are Portuguese Men-of-War — those damned stinging jelly-fish. And what Orris calls cramp-fish; they’re electric eels. But they're " all rare.” e “Then I’m going in. Come along?” “No. thanks,” said Loring lazily. “Get Vanya. She may own a suit, f or she may consent to a dip with- » out.” , “She won’t,” said Mark sourly, turning toward the hotel. Loring's I continual cynicism irritated him. He wandered slowly back; per- > haps Vanya was about somewhere. ■ He found her finally at her endless t mending in her room, and immediately broached the subject of a swim. ’ “Do you ever swim here?” he asked. ' She looked up, coloring.

Vanya dropped the robe diffidently to the sand, and Mark broke into an amused chuckle. "Pre-war vintage!” he laughed.

“I have—but well away from the Cove, and alone!" , “Have you a suit?” She nodded. “Get it on, then; we’re swimming!” Mark departed to his own room, and dug out his own suit and his robe. He aryayed himself, and returned for Vanya. She was ready, draped in the inevitable flowered affair, and together they proceeded to the beach. The little bay looked strangely empty with the Porpoise away; Mark had grown to expect its familiar shape off shore. He doffed his robe, baring his safely-bronzed shoulders and legs to the fierce sun. Vanya seemed strangely reluctant to remove hers; she looked at Loring, casually watching them from his palm a hundred yards away. “0* with it!” ordered Mark. “Loring’s harmless.” She dropped the robe diffidently to the sand, and Mark broke into an amused chuckle. “Pre-war vintage!” he laughed. The outfit came quite to her knees, and was skirted and sleeved and bloused, as loose about her as a cotton sack. “I’ve always heard that there wasn’t a bathing suit in Russia,” he laughed, “but you've got enough there for two of them!” “There were several at Lake Baikal,” said Vanya. “I don’t know how this suit came to be with us;

it was thrown in with what clothes we packed.” “It would keep you from fir»t prize at any Atlantic City contest, chuckled Mark. “The judges would suspect you of concealing some serious defect.” “I know,” said the girl, with an embarrassed smile. “I've seen your American movies in Singapore. ’ “Well, into the water, anyway! I’m curious to see if it’s possible to swim in that outfit.” It was barely possible, apparently. Vanya managed a few desperate strokes beyond the line of breakers; Mark kept easy pace with his effortless crawl. Then the girl dropped her feet to the bottom and stood panting and smiling. “No wonder you tire with that load of wet goods!” said Mark, eyeing the billowing suit distastefully. “It isn’t the suit. I don’t do much

better without it.” “Let’s see your stroke,” he commanded. The girl dutifully obeyed; ehe struggled a dozen yards with desperate efforts. “Wrong! All wrong! Even for the breast stroke. Here!” He seized her by the belt of the questionable suit. “Now—draw your knees way up, and kick outwards and backward*. That’s some better—now try.” He released his support; instantly the black head disappeared beneath the surface. She rose choking and sputtering; with a frantic flailing of arms. Mark placed her on her feet, and she looked into his face and laughed. It was the first time he had really heard her laugh; it was low and soft, like her singing voice, and it seemed to Mark quite the most wonderful sound in the world. He seized her impulsively, and planted s quick, wet kiss on her equally moist lips. In a moment, she struggled free “Lori ng! ” she gasped, with a rapid glance at the beachcomber, who still eyed the two of them casually from his seat against siis tree “Oh, Loring!” said Mark disguste<?ly'„ ~^ s ls he cou *t«l for anything at all!” * “Anyway, I’m tired,” she said with a little smile. “I’ll watch you from the beach.” (To Be Continued) Copjriitit. 1134. hr Kl<* tMIiFM Indiatt.
