CHAPTER VI
'1‘ was a. perfect dive. John stood
still in sheer admiration for sev-
eral seconds and then heard her
low laugh ringing musically across
the water.
"Come on." sh alled. and he
dived in after her. are that beside
her own beautiful effort his was a
rank. failure.
She set out at a swift pace. using
a crawl stroke. and John. trying to
keep up, felt that he had his work
cut out for him. There was silence
between them, broken only by the
spiashlng'of their arms. Once she
disappeared for what seemed to John
a long time. and he realized she was
swimming under water. Presently
she emerged. several yards ahead of
him.
Drops of water dung into the air
by her arms were like little globes of
silver in the moonlight and her arms
were alabaster. "Still there?” she
cried hauntingly. and set out with a
faster pace.
Pretty soon she came to a stop and
John could see she wai standing at
shoulder depth. "Here's where we
re.” she iniormed him. "Thought
'd wait for you. Conga on." and bm
fore he could draw a. all breath she
had started oi! again.
He tried his best to match her
speed. but this time she apparently
was in earnest andlhe soon realized
thefutilityofit. Whenhegotback
to the springing board she was wait-

“First offense." he smiled.

you?" she asked.
"Well-yes. I am." he said honest-
ly.
She was silent again for a brief
space. Then. “I adore babies." she
remarked quietly and got to her feet.
There was nothing he could say to
this. although he thought for a min-
ute of asking, “Why don't you have
one. then?"
Without another w.ord she dashed
off the diving board again. and once
more he was held in a swift rush of
admiration at the beauty of it. ..
He dived oi! after her. but. there
were no more words between them.
She was swimming silently and
powerfully and he grew tired trying
to keep up with her.
Finally he btood up in shallow wa-
ter. "I'm all in." he called to her.
and walked up on the beach. wait-

on her and murmured an unintel-
ligible apology for his roughness.

and smoking a. fat cigar. said. "I
could beat her if I wasn't so lazy." A
moment later he was growling at
Fry. who had thrown sand in his
face and ordered him to "quit brag-

John moved over nearer the fire to
dry out. for the night air was grow-
ing chilly. He was a. tall. lank fig-
ure :4 his bathing suit. longish of
arm and leg. although giving the
appearance of a. certain wiry
strength and plenty of energy. He
sat down. drawing his knees up to
his chin. and held out his hands to
the blaze.

Mrs. Smith. reaching him one of the
hot. browned confections on the end
of a stick. and Mrs. Fry chirped up.-

against Smith but could not budge

let you up."
"Xeveri" hissed the fallen man. “I

and the rest of the sentence was lost
in loud sputtering.
Nell Ol'i'ilo had started singing. and
Pat Forbes had joined in. singing
baritone to her lead. "Come on.
John." urged Pat. "give 'em a little
of that well-known tenor.”
John laughed and shook his head.
“My pipes are rusty. Pat."
“Aw. come on." Forbes grabbed
him by the arm. and John was draft-
ed.
They sang "Deep River." John's
tenor sounding plaintively above the
rest. and Smith suddenly got up off
the breathless Fry. “Think I'll blow
a. little bass." he rumbled and moved
over to the trio.
“Let's give ‘em 'Sweet Adeline.‘ "
he urged.
Pat scorned him. "Outside. bozo.
This is real highclsss stuff."
"Come on." insisted Smith. “sing
something I know. Let’s have 'l've
Been Working on the Railroad'.”
"Oh. well." said Pat. "anything to
please the roughneck." and they
sang Smith's selection. John was
surprised to find that Smith poa-
sessed a really fine bass voice.
"Come on. Smitty. give us 'Asleep
in the Deep'. " commanded Forbes.
“Nothin' doln'." Smith shook his
head.
“Come on."
“NODO.”
Nell Orme moved over beside the
fat loan. "Smitty just has to be
coaxed." she laughed. and kissed than,

Smith fell back in mock surprise and

launched into the famous song.
He did it really well. but while he
was dwelling on his lowest bass note.
his eyes closed with the effort. the
scandalous Fry approached and
thrust a sanded marshmallow in the
singer's mouth. and the concert was
over.
