The shadow brought his mind away from the tide that was coming in, and for the second time that afternoon he looked up quickly, But, this time, no friendly eyes returned his gaze. A big, frown- ing man stood watching him, and the boy instinctively slid hile note- book back into his pocket. Later on, that same note-book recorded the stranger as "n well-drest gent. high up in soclety with gray hare and fat," and we cannot Improvo upon that description.

For a few seconds they regarded each other fruitlessly, and then the well-dressed gentleman observed, with a smile in which there was no geniality,

"And what's making you so busy. on a hot day?"

"Nothin', sir," replied the boy, an ever-useful formula.
