CAROL’S
ISLAND
i Or the Nyatery Solved ?
jr By CLARISSA MACKIE
Cnrol Atwood wutched Cnptaln Hus-
pe y ns he stowed her BUlt case und the
covered basket In the bow of the little
m otorbont; then she took her place,
while the captain pushed uwa.v from
tHe lauding steps and grasped the
wheel all In one agile motion, born of
long experience on the wuters of dull
lake.
••Where Is the Island?" .nsked Cnrol
nfter they had fairly started on the
blue water.
••Ye can't glimpse It till we turn
pine Tree p'lnt; kinder queer that your
cousin, or—was Steve Atwood your
. cousin, did ye say?" nsked the captain
{ Inquisitively.
V ••He was my father's cousin." replied
I Carol, with an air of reserve.
•Well, 1 wus Buying It's mjghty queer
that out of all Ills money he should
leave you nothing but Pine island here.
i You enn't do nothing but sell it. miss.
I I bear you're from New York city.
Work there?". . , ,-j.
"Yes."
"So 1 beard. It was all printed In
the newspaper when IJteve Atwood
dled^bow he left'Pine Island to a little
cousin who was a bookkeeper or some
thing like that In the city. The paper
said It was too bad that Mr. Atwood
hadn’t left a sum- of mone.V so bis,
) orphan cousin could do something with
’ it hut 1 dunno—you can sell the. island
• if you want to. There’s summer folks
woiild like It for n camp.
Carol, made no reply. Her.blue eyes
were dreamily fixed on Pine Tree point
but’her thoughts were far from Gull
lake and the odd Inheritance left by
bef'eccentric relative. Stephen Atwood,
the many times' millionaire.' How rasy
it would have been had Cousin Stephen
only left her a sum of money Instead
V of the valueless Island In this Maine
t lake! She sighed bitterly as she ret
mefnbqred the clause In Stephen Ah
wood’s will which said tbnt the Island
was'.hot to" be sold within five years'
afttr his death.' : ^ '
If be bad left her a sum Of money
shelmlght have given up that office po
sition and gone away to seek the health
that was so necessary to her successful
future. She was pale and delicate look
ing, city born and bred, and the strug
gle to earn her bread and butter wjjs
growing more difficult every day. She
had craved her allotted vacation. She
was taking her annual two weeks' va
cation in the month of May Instead of
August, so that she might loch over
tie-property.
The breeze ruffled the placid surface
of the lake, pickerel leaped;-now and
then, and occasionally from the bushy
. thicket along the shore mild eyed deer
peered gt the speeding boat, and Its pas
sengers. '
"There's Pine Island." pointed the
captain as they rounded' Pine Tree
point Into the npper end of the beauti
ful, lnke. • ... •.
“W is beautiful T.cried Carol, breath
less, with delight, , as she gazed at the
i email green Island that was her very
:' own* m . v .... . .
It .was set jfke an emerald In the blue
of'the Take, and from amid the thick
v' growth of pines Carol could'glimpse a
H red‘roof. ■ •*
“Ton be’ant; going to stop there
alone!".argued Captain Hussey as he
brought the boat up to small stone
landfog. •. : ,
* "For a few dnys,". said. Carol prac-
• tically. “Pm not afraid up here. In this'
j beautiful country. Why, there is milfe
to fear in the big city where I have al-
.wayi‘3lved:“ ' ' ,
“Thht’s all very well." - decided the
old man. “but I guess I’ll leave old
Watfh with you. Hogan have a little
vacation here along with you and hunt
rabbits to his heart's content You
cam- bring him back with you;"
Watch, the big collie, who had been
aslepp at his master's feet, pricked his
beantlful.ears at the sound .of his name
and’leaped ashore to Jump around
Carol,, who had reached the landing,
' .without assistance.
“Now, that Is kind of you, Captain
Huss'ey!" cried the girl, taking bis r re
luctant hands Into her little wbiteones.
“I believe that you brought Watch
along .on purpose.” -
, “The missus made me do it,” protest
ed the captain as he picked up the
basket of provisions packed by his
wife for the young stranger. "She
thinks you're crazy to stay here all
alone for two weeks, and I ain’t telling
what I think about It Yon know I
dono all 1 could to keep you away, but
I ain't never found the woman yet that
would listen to reason—no, ma'am!
But I’ll try and run over every day
and see how you get along. And now
I’ll look Into the boathouse and see If
f.that tidy little skiff Is still there. If It
*. Is yon can use It to run away from the
• island If things get too lonesome for
you. Can you row?"
“Oh. year laughed Carol. ‘I’ve
learned to do that on my summer vaca-
.tlons.”
“Good! Well. If anything bothers you
or yon get lonesome yon Jest pack into
the skiff and come over Ns the main
land. You’ll find the latchstring always
ont on the Hussey house.”
“Thank you a thousand times 1" cried
Carol gratefully.
First Captain Huaeey took the bunch
of keys from Carol and unlocked the
boathouse. Here everything was la
perfect order, the cedar trimmed row-
poles un arranged wltllanirjfm hntiu.
Captain Hussey dropped the skiff
Into tile water beneath the boathouse,
laid the ours In It and showed Carol
how iu a moment of emergency she
might run if mi (be short fflg'ht of
steps, get Into the boat and emerge
through the swinging doers Into the
lake.
"It's all lovely." murmured Carol ns
(hey walked through tile pines toward
the little log house among the trees.
"It's kind or a tidy little place," as
sented the captain as he unloc ked the
flout door. "I've heard say Unit out of
bL' his houses your cousin Stephen
liked this best. Ain't that just the
wuy? Millions of money, palaces to
Bve In, and him coming way up here
to live In his log cabin and cook bis
own lnenlsl It does bent all!"
"I wonder why." *
"I've heard that he had poor health
for awhile, and he got well up here.
And he always said that Ills riches
wa’n't nothing without health. Seems
like be vultled health more thau
money. You look kinder dellklt your
self." udded the captain, looking with
concern at the girl's face, pale, In thg
gloom of the darkened house. * if _.
“I'll feel better after I've been..here'
a few days," laughed envoi. "If
Cousin Stephen could regalu his henlth
hero, perhaps I can find uiltie also." •
"Did you ever see your cousin,
Stephen Atwood?"
'-Yes. once. A, year ngo hetjBcnt for
me to come to Ills office. Hetjues-
Uoned me closely, hut he made, no re
mark upon my answers. I never fcenrd
from him afterward. Two months
ago I heart Tf Ms'defttlTlilTimro'lTira'. ''
and L was notified .that he had left
PlrfeTsKind to me. I .thought It.rather
n ghastly Joke nt first'. but there Is this
10velj\'llttle house, hod'. Captain Hus
sey. I'Ve a grppit mijid tci stay here all
Bummer!" A pink color'flew Into her
cheeks gt the!notion!
“Never!" gasped the captain. "Uow'd
you live, miss?” ,. ; .j
“Maybe I could take a woman board
er.” said Carol hopefully; "I'll adver
tise nt once. 1 *'
"That uiu't a bnd Idee." muttered tbe
captain. "I think I know of some one
right now. Miss Jlalpln and her
nephew. They’re artists, and they'd
admire a green little, spot like this.
Wnnt me to' speak; ,tp 'em? They're
stopping at the Benner House, and
you know whi)t that Is!",'
“If you only would, dear Captain
Hussey!" cripl the "delighted ' Carol.
''I'll row over to the' mainland tomor
row and And out. if! they want to come
I’ll send In my resignation to tbe office
at once." ,'
"I'll see about It sqpo'pT get ashore.”
promised the captain, as .he departed.
Carol felt very much.alone ns she-
went all over the 'little house, with
Watch trotting patiently, nt her heeU.
She found tbe log . cabin furnished
plainly, but with every' comfort for
snug housekeeping • and)lazy enjoy
ment Soon every ^rtnSSw was wide
open to the pine scented breeze: and a
small fire was crackling On tbe living
room hearth Jupt for the very homely
ness of Its blaze. • . • , v "
It was fun to light the blue, flame
oil stove In the kitchen and to'prepare
her evening meal , with the dainty
aluminium cooking’ utensils. From
Mm. Hussey's generous basket there
came forth homemade breed and but
ter, preserves; caked and pies, besides
groceries from the store. .
The next morning Carol a woke; feel
ing strangely strong and energetic.
She found everything so attractive that
she was quite bewildered as to what
to do first. Should she satisfy her
longing to go out at once or remain In-,
doors long .enough to prepare at least
a semblance of a breakfast? She de
cided on the‘latter cou rse- and «flbw
around doing he's light housekeeping,
singing all the while.. Then she,donned
a white linen sailor suit and a duck
hat and went. over, to ' the malplpnd,-
leavlng Watch on guard.
On tbe village dock Carol met Cap
tain Hussey with it middle aged wom
an and a sunburned young man. whom
: he Introduced as her new--boarders;
Miss Hatpin and her nephew, Gerald
-Lane. a'-.-:
Together .they went back to Pin? Is
land. and then began the mpst wonder-,
ful summer- In Carol , Atwood’s. exist
ence. The'Island, wtilch she bad
first deemed, a white elephant on her’ 1
hands, turned out to be ft treasur'd Is
land Indeed.'for during those long days
of free life under the pines Carol re
covered her health—nay, she. found,
new health, for she became round and
rosy and sunburned and strong as a
young Indian -maiden.
She found " happiness as Weil as
health. How else Could It have ended
with a beautiful girl like Carol and a
handsome, heart free youth like Gerald
Lane living there under the kindly
chaperonage of Miss Eugenia Hatpin?
And the queerest thing of all was
that one day while Carol was rummag
ing among some books In the living
room she found a small tin dispatch
box bearing her own name on the out
side, and lh the box was a letter ad
dressed to her In a crabbed handwrit
ing which proved to be that of her ec
centric cousin. Stephen Atwood.
And the letter told her that Stephen
Atwood believed her to he a sensible
girl, and If she fulfilled that belief sbe
Would seek line Island to regain her
health, and in tbe course of time sbe
would find this letter, which declared
that while health was greeter than
wealth, a blending of each was desir
able In this world, so Carol would find
placed to her credit In a certain city
bank the sum of $90,000. avd tbe bank
book was there to prove It!
Pins Island is the summer borne of
Gerald and Carol Lane, and to them
ensb year comes their aunt. Miss Hal

mance woven Into tbe story of the
Island, while she reproduces Its beau
ties on canvas.
