THE GRIZZLED At-

TENDANT 031 the village boat dock peered again through his binoculars. This time his body stiffened and he looked more closely. Then he-crossed-deliberately to a small booth, renched in, and pulled A cord. A sudden blast broke loose from mighty airhorn.

C. Roger Forbes, who had sit finally been induced to down after what he consider- ed an interminable wait since his arrival on the train from New York, leapt up as though he had been shot from a can-

non.

"What the devil's the idea?" he shouted.

"Dulcy Ward's coming- and I want to give everyone on the lake an even chance," the attendant answered calm- ly.

By this time the naked eye could distinguish a speedboat zig-zagging across the lake at rate. Bill tremendous Ward, hovering in the back- ground with Mrs Forbes and Angela, saw his madcap sister was driving, and had Gordon Daly's little Sneezy at her Bide.

The airhorn squawked again and again. A middle-aged man, fishing over the side of his boat, hastily reeled in his -line as his companion grab- bed the oars. A launch, heading out from shore, changed its mind, did a hair- pin turn, and headed in again. Even a brood of ducklings, swimming contentedly with their mother, ducked under the surface and disappeared.

DULCY, MIRACULOUS-

LY, MISSED EVERY- THING in her path. As sho narrowly avoided cutting the landing dock in two and zoomed out in the lake again, Mr Forbes gulped to Bill: "Is that... is that your sis tor? .. Isn't there any other way we can get to your lodge? I... I don't care much for speedboats!",

fect landing, was somewhat re- assuring.

"You'll take it easy, won't you, Ward?" Mr Forbes cald ner- vously as the party and their lug- gage were being loaded into the bout.

"Don't worry. Mr Forbes-Just sit back and relax," replied Dulcy, Bill's instructions were a threat- ening command. "Drive slowly, do you understand-slowly," he whis- pered. "My future wife, father-in- Jaw, ne

and mother-in-law are in thin boat."

As the boat started out at a pleasant pace, there was every in- dication that Me Forbes' request and Bill's command had had their effect upon the driver,

"Isn't this lovely?" exclaimed Duley and Mr Forbes replied: "It's a charming spot" - even though he didn't look enough at ease to indicate that he meant it.

The boat had been levelled on Mr Leach and his canoe. Dulcy might have turned out, at a more leisurely speed, but there was no time now. She did manage to void cutting him in two as her

"You've made me feel a whole lot better," Leach hissed through his teeth. It was rheer coincidence that at that very moment. Dulcy stepped on the gas quito suddenly and another wild leap of the boat sent the playwright back into the Inke to join his canoe and wait for more reasonable rescuers.

MR FORBES found the lodge

entirely lovely place where the peace and quiet of Nature might well have mended his tattered nerves if Nature, unaided, had been given the chanco.

"I've laid out a. complete schod- ule for every minute of your stay

here," Dulcy began--and the big tired business man trembled. "We start the day with a plunge in the lake. It's icy cold-but you'll love li! Then breakfast and after- wards tennis, golf, badminton, horseback riding Just every- thing!"

"I'm sure, Miss Ward," Mr Forbes ventured, "that's a splen- did programme for you younger people but, personally, I'm afraid all I want to do is slt down some- where and relax. .. You see the

doctors tell me --"

"Oh, Mr Forbes," Duley bubbled, "the doctors are always making mountains out of molchills, Why, exercise and good fresh air are the best tonles in the world."

"Do you realise this monkey's been rowing me around for hours?" Gordon complained angrily.

Dulcy was hurt. "But, Gordon," slie, pouted, "it was the only way to keep Mr Forbes from seeing you and the motor before the stage was set.
