mo harm Il done. thanks to the water
proof" she said, and with nod of the head
she went down the companion, leaving
Philip on deck.
"How are you, auntiea' she asked cheer
fully, as she entered the cabin.
II think I'm going to die" said Annette,
feehly.
''No. not so bad as that, hope, Annette:
it is unlucky it is so rough just at starting;
but you know Mr.. Harbut said when YOU
told him what bad sailor you were that it
would only last two or three days Oh,
wish that you could have been on decK
with me, am sure it would have done
there"
Annette was too i'll to ask what she had
been doing
81 have been sitting all by myself" the
girl went on, sin warm little corner where
| was quite sheltered from the wind, but
could see the waves. 1t was grand, only |
wished YOU could have been sitting there
with me, there would have been just room
for another camp stool. mean to make
that our special den during the voyage,
that is If nobody else takes it. Do you
think you could take anything, auntiei A
cup of tea OF a few spoonfuls of SOUP |
dare say can get the steward to ges you
some"
Annette shook her head. At present she
was far beyond wishing for either tea or
soup.
II feel very hungry myself" Constance
went on. II only had biscuit for break
fast. What am to dor
You must have your lunch with the
Others, my dear; you cannot eat in here
On board sup people do things that they
would not do anywhere else, and | do not
see how it is to be helped
When the bell rang for lunch, Constance
was glad to see that one of the other female
passengers came out and took her seat at
the table.
you are keeping up well, miss" she said.
as she took her seat.
Eyes, feel perfectly we'll, y Constance re-
piled. Are you feeling the same"
YES, am never i'll at sea. l have been
backward and forward to India four times,
and | don't mind it at all, only my lady is
that fidgety aud Troublesome one gets no
peace. There Is not any more the m after
with her than there is with me, but she
never gets up the first three or four DAYS;
she can eat and drink just as heartily as If
she was on shore, only she pretends she can
not, and worries and fancies that she is ill,
till she drives me and the stewardess pretty
well out of our minds"
"But you did not come to breakfast this
morning." Constance said.
NO had to stay fussing with her until
it was too late, and then / had something
with the stewardess aft. | suppose this Is
your first voyages"
Eyes, except crossing the Channel from
France. have never besa at sea before "
well, you are lucky. / don't mind In
| dian service, for it is easy and comfortable
if you do not mind the heat, and you have
| little enough to do, for the hou e is full Of
| black servants, but il is trying on the voy-
age. Ny lady is so accust )med to be
waited on that She can scarcely pick up her
| handkerchief If she drops il. However,
there is one comfort on board a ship-there
are no bells. If there were, one would have
no peace OF ones life. Are you going with
| us to IndiaH
mo. we are going to Australia. | believe
we 90 in another steamer from Suez, but
am not sure whether we change there or at
! Point de Gale"
AT Suez,'' Philip put in. ''That is the
worst of this overland route, the change of
steamers. However, they say that before
long ths Canal will be open, and then the
steamers will go straight out without change,
which will be great comfort for those who
are going then, though it will not help us
at present. / was just chatting with one
of the mates, and he tells me the glass is
rising, and that he thinks this little gale
will blow itself out sool. 1t does not make
much difference to us, fortunately. but after
can walk about without holding on, and
things are drier round one. But for the
sake of those who are i'll, one is always glad
to hear that there is no likelihood Of week
of rough weather"
In another two days the sky was bl light
and clear, and the motion Of the ship was
now an easy roll on the long regular swell
of the Atlantic. Annette was well enough
to come on deck for the first time, and the
thicIrlU oIy1atarad with
Philip ClItheroe had found the two chairs
with the name Renan on them among the
pile o. deck, and had placed iem early in
the little nook so as 70 secure possession,
and be- at once seated them comfortably in
them.
"That is Portugal, Mr. Browns"
"YeS. | believe we passed Lisbon about
daYbreak this morning. This is pleasant
change in the temperature, isn't ita'
'Oh, yes. the air feels quite balmy, 1t is
delightful isn't it, auntieP
81 don't think it is quite delightful, Con-
stance, but | dare say am chilly after be-
ing three days in that miserable cabin, but |
don't think that l shall be able to sit in II
very long"
"Will you take my arm and walk up and
,, down for bit9" Philip said.
"No, thank you, | must wait until the
/ ship gets quite steady before / can do any
walking
After chatting for few minutes longer,
Philip strolled away. and entered into con-
versation with one of the engineers.
You have not been sitting here
talking to that young man all the while
have been below, ConstanceW Madame Du-
port asked, sharply.
mo, auntie, he has never sat down al
all. He has just helped me here and seen
me fairly seated, ana then ne goes away I'M
til | want him to help me down again."
THAT is right, my dear, one cannot be
too careful with strangers. You see, we
don't know who ne is, and he does not know
who we are and there is no use getting too
intimate with people. In your position you
cannot be too careful. You see, we hope to
have you as mistress Of Corbyn Court be-
fore long, aud no doubt you will make a
grand match then"
81 don't care about being mistress Of Cor
byn Court, and | am ire do not wish to
make a grand match, Annette Constance
said. slowly; "that is one of the very worst
things about money. You never know
whether people care for you for yourself or
for your money / want to prove that my
mother was married; If / can do that,
should be glad to come back to st. Malo.
and be just as / was before. don't want in
the very least to go to Corbyn, or to be an
heiress. am quite sure l should be far
happier without the money"
"Money is a very good thing. ma petite
