i CHAPTER I. “You have had so many chances to marry,” Mrs. Parkman said. “Every one of them being an excellent reason for not marrying,” Jessica answered her mother. She walked to the window and stared down into the avenue for a moment. “People!” she exclaimed, and crossed to a big overstuffed chair. [ Her mother eyed her secretly and with genuine alarm. “My dear Jessica,” Mrs. Parkman said, patiently, “the streets are for people. Really, what did i you expect?” Jessica drew a magazine from the little rack and curled up’in the chair as she glanced through it. I That is, she curled up as well as a I statuesque, titian-haired beauty may curl up in a rather small area of downy cushions. Mrs. Parkman pretended to read her novel, but continued to watch her daughter. She was really worried about her. Suddenly Jessica literally hurled the magazine from her. “More people—nothing in the ■ magazines except drivel about uninteresting people. I’m sick and tired of people. I’m fed up 1” “Fed up?” Her mother glanced at her severely. “Fed up. It is a good expression—it means to be sated, . mother. If I don't use slang I’ll use profanity.” “You wouldn’t, Jessica; it isn’t being done now. It was considered smart by some a while ago ” ; Mrs. Parkman stopped, for Jessica was staring moodily at noth- , ing and twisting her handkerchief. “Jessica!” Mrs. Parkman tried to speak sharply but she couldn’t h-’de the anxiety in her voice. “If yo(u don’t calm down, get hold of yourself, you’ll be picking mauve rabbits off the tablecloths.” Jessica stopped twisting her handkerchief and started at her mother. Then she went over to I her and kissed her. ; “Am I as bad as that, dear?” she asked. “I never knew you to be so—so—” Her mother groped for the t proper word. “All shot—is that it? Well, I am all shot. Seems as though I would fly to bits. Johnnie Ward- ’ man’s silly conduct when I refused to marrv him was the last straw.” “I think we had better travel, dear.” “I hate travel—people travel—one is always bumping into people." “Doctor Worth might have some good advice. I think I will send for him.” Jessica shrugged. It was no use to argue. She didn’t believe that she needed a doctor, but when her mother said that she thought she would do a thing it always meant that she would do it. Mrs. Parkman called Dobson and ordered him to telephone for Doctor Worth. , , , , “You just said that I have had many chances to marry. Do you want to be rid of me? The expression on Mrs. Parkman’s face caused Jessica to stop instantly and then quite contrite, she said, “I didn’t mean it that way, dear, but it did sound rather queer.” “I thought it might be better for you—take you out of this terrible social whirl. I thought perhaps—” Mrs. Parkman stopped abruptly. "I’m horribly old-fashioned mother. I’m going to wait until I fall in love.” , , Nora came in with a memo cartt “Are you going to dress for the Norton’s tea dansant, Miss?” Nora asked “I canceled it. I’ve canceled everything for this week, Nora and if anyone telephones, I m out. “Yes, rniss.” "Jessica, you do need a complete resL I never knew you to feel like going into seclusion since you were a child.” “Just tired, mother. She didn’t act tired, for she went to the piano and began to hammer something thundering from Wagner. When Doctor Worth came Mrs. Parkman told him all she knew of the overdone social whirl that had brought Jessica to the verge of a nervous breakdown. The doctor examined Jessica and nodded. “Doctors always nod. I think it bolsters up their confidence in themselves,” Jessica said. "At least you have a saving sense of humor. I shall prescribe Florida for you, Miss Parkman. “Florida!” Jessica exclaimed jn disgust. "Os al! places at this sea—it’a alive with people.”

S 1 r— l . i !I f \l* 1 wtr Z/w m 1’ Uh KIR 1 ü ßut hou: can one live on a desert island?” Jessica demanded.

. "You must have absolute rest and in a warm climate,” the doctor ' assured her, “and you should real- • ize it.” • “I do. I know that 1 am run i down and nervous, and, more, 1 am tired and sick of seeing people.” ’ “You have a yacht—” “Hate it!” This time the doctor shook his ( head. “Now if I had a desert island—” He smiled as one to a petulant child. “There is a silly little island off the coast of Florida, doctor,” Mrs. 1 Parkman said. "My father owned it and he used to leave us at the coast hotels and go there camping and fishing. I would never go, so he left it to Jessica.” "Just the thing!” “But how can one live on a desert island?” Jessica demanded. "Take a portable bungalow down in your yacht. Have complete rest. You should be there fully three months. During the first weeks stay in the sun and rest. After that a little exercise, walks, fishing, bathing. Go to bed at dark, up with the sun.” “It sounds wonderful to me, mother.” Mrs. Parkman nodded and smiled. This was the solution. It would, she believed, be the physical salvation of Jessica. The Parkman attorney came over, on request, and left directions as to the location of the island, which he copied from the deed. It had to do with longitude and latitude and didn’t mean a thing to Jessica. In an amazingly short time everything necessary was aboard the Parkman yacht, portable bungalow, supplies, furnishings, all that could be desired. The skipper of the Parkman yacht had made a note of the instructions as Mrs. Parkman gave them to him. He indicated a fairly large and pretty island. “That is it,” he said. He personally went ashore in a small boat and found a suitable spot The men soon had the portable bungalow up and furnished. Only Jessica, her mother, Dobson, Nora and a cook were to live on the island. Other servants were to remain aboard the yacht and this was to make daily trips to the coast for mail, supplies and the like. . “The very first thing I want done,” Jessica ordered, “is a large sign. As long as this is my own island I propose to be absolute ruler of it.” And so a sign was neatly painted and put up at the little crescent beach used as a landing place for the small boats. The sign read > NO TRESPASSING. Private Property. J. Parkman. To the great relief anu delight of Mrs. Parkman, Jessica enjoyed the quietness of the island. For * week she sat about in the sun, did

; very little reading and began to ■ sleep well. . By the end of the second week she had ceased being “jumpy” and ventured out on some ledges for a 1 little fishing. She was as pleased 1 as a child with the small pan fish she caught Then she began taking walks. At first she couldn’t go very far, but ’ within another fortnight she was , amazed and delighted to find herself enjoying the walk through the heavy underbrush. There was a small clearing about the bungalow. Many flowI ering plants had been brought from town and she enjoyed setting . these out. , By this time she had her color back, was well tanned and developed more than a normal appetite. Jessica, as well as the others, would have been greatly alarmed if they knew that every now and then a fishy, old, over-sized launch came in from somewhere beyond the twelve-mile limit to an inlet on the east shore of the island where, in a dug-out cave, certajn quantities of burlap bundles were stored. But these men always departed and were evidently too intent on their own affairs to waste time exploring the rest of the island. And as this inlet was perfectly hidden in thick shrubbery and practically unapproachable from any place except the water because of a 1 swampy stretch, there seemed to be little chance that Jessica would discover them or their hiding place for the apparently precious burlap bundles. Having fairly well explored the rocky north end of the island, Jessica decided to explore the south end. There was quite a sharp ridge of land, thickly wooded, between her bungalow and the southern point of the Island. Beyond this the land sloped down through a great thicket. Curious to see what was beyond it, Jessica worked her way through and caught sight of a stretch of beach. She had not known that there was any other bit of beach except in front of her bungalow. Then she heard someone whistling. A thin spiral of smoke could be seen arising above the tree tops. “Os all things!” Jessica muttered. She heard a voice and started carefully to descend the last slope. “If I can’t be alone on my own island, I’ll just see about it!” she said, to herself. "Whoever has the nerve to camp here will get a piece of my mind and be sent off in a hurry." She could see, by this time, that a camp had been set up and, to add insult to injury, she ran into a sign, which read: NO TRESPASSING I KEEP OFF I J. R. Harper. Jessica wanted to size up the situation firaj and approached

> with care. There was > large tent, a smaller tent back of it and the : regulation awning and table, camp I stove and plentiful fishing tackle, i A canoe was beached and a I rather good motorboat moored off i shore. A colored boy came crashing , through the underbrush with an I armful of green wood, which bej spoke a knowledge of camping, for- . every veteran camper will tell you , that after a fire is started green wood is best to cook with. Jessica was getting more and ■ more furious by the minute. It ; looked as though the campers had ; been there a long while and in- • tended to remain many more, weeks. I By this time Jessica approached I near enough to see a rather cleancut young man sitting on a camp stool, unsnarling a mess of tarpon ; line and whistling a year-old popular air from a Broadway revue. 1 “Mose!” the young man called. ! “Yes, suh, boss.” “Open up some of that canned 1 chicken. I’m fed up on fish. Next ’ time you go ashore bring a big steak.” : “Yes, suh, boss.” Jessica stepped on a dry branch 1 and it snapped. ; The young man, James Robinson Harper, leaped up as he beheld the 1 vision of a lovely red-haired girl staring at him. “How do you do?” Jim, ex--1 claimed. "Is there anything I can ’ do for you?” “There is," Jessica said, but be- ! cause of the wonderful way he 1 smiled at her, her voice lost some of its intended harshness. 1 “At your service,” Jim replied ' with a low bow and another win--1 ning smile. “You can get off my island,” ’ Jessica said, with dignity. "Your island? Isn’t there some mistake, Miss—er —” “Parkman. And there Is no mis- 1 take. This is my island. Where is your employer? Oh, I thought at first you might be a guide. Where is this audacious Harper person who dares to camp on my island? I suppose you are a companion of his?” “Yes, Miss Parkman, a close companion. Er—he’s not here right now." “Tell him, please, to get off my island at once.” “But, Miss Parkman, there must be some mistake. This is Mr. Harper's island.” “Don’t you believe what he tells you. It is my private island, and this Harper person must go at once.” “Well, Miss Parkman, Harper isn’t a bad fellow, but I doubt if he will leave his own island.” “It is my island, I tell you! I will have him put off!” (To Bo Continued.) Herr’s a situation that promtsss any amount of excitement. Read the amasing developments in the next instalment. Uorrlllil. Utl.
