at the lighthouse. I'll ask Daddy." The lighthouse maid had gotten out of her bathing suit on the arrival of the motor boat in the cove, and, in her ordinary attire had come over to the bungalow where the rescued girl was still in a state of unconsciousness. "That will be a good idea," said Cora. "I wish you would. But I don't see why that doctor doesn't hurry. Perhaps we had better telephone again." "I'll do it," offered Belle. "But perhaps we ought to try and revive her ourselves--some ammonia--" and she looked at Cora questioningly. "I had rather not," was the answer. "We don't know what injury we might do her. She may have been struck on the head, or something like that. I had rather a doctor would examine her. Poor creature. Who can she be?" No one could tell. The strange girl was pretty, and her light brown hair, now drying out, clustered around her pale face that looked so much like death that the motor girls were greatly affected by it.

"Dr. Brown's car broke down while he was on his way here. He's over at Siconset and I'll go over and get him." "Then take our car!" suggested Bess. "It's just been filled with oil and gasoline. Yours may not have any in." "I will, thank you. You come with me, Bess; Belle and Eline can look after things until we get back. It isn't far." "Oh dear!" exclaimed Belle. "What--what will I do if she wakes up?" "Oh, don't be nervous!" exclaimed Cora, vigorously. "If she comes to her senses so much the better. Get her something warm to drink. She may be starving."
