DICK RODNEY'S REVENGE

"Lord, let me have chance to be re-
venged at last"
That was what Dick Rodney said as he
turned from the door of the sweetheart
he had been thinking of during all the
long voyage just ended, with the news
that she was married to another burning
in his heart like red hot iron.
She was a light, foolish thing, not
worthy of true mans love.
But he had worshiped her, and she had
Tilted him and married Ralph Holloway
It was not tale to tell,~a sorrow to
seek sympathy for.
Dick went back to sea a moodier man
than he had been, and now and then he
would say to some mate:
"There's fellow I'm bound to be even
with some day."
But he never said why.
He felt himself bitterly and shameful
~ injured, and he felt sure that God
would cast his enemy into his hands in
the end.
It seemed to him that it was not neces-
sary for him to seek it, but only to bide
his time
Five years passed, and still he said:
81 wait" And one morning he looked
up and saw Raj phi Holloway standing op-
posite him, and said to himself:
1.-THE time is coming"
It hal been very hard for Captain
Palmer to find hands for that voyage.
The Betsy Belle had met with many dis
asters and was counted unlucky. And
the Captain was not liked
The crew was rough one when it was
made up, but here was Raj phi Holloway
coming to add himself to it. 1t was
curious fact, and one >>of which Dick
Rodney was not aware, that Ralph had
never known anything of Effie's engage
ment to him. He had come home from
voyage, met pretty girl at a party,
spent his money in giving her presents,
and offered himself
He was handsomer man than Dick.
and being less prudent, seemed more
generous. Effie accepted him, and left
it to her mother to tell Dick the news on
his return, quite conscience free. Ralph
walked up to Dick, holding out his
hand.
'1've seen you BEFORE" he said.
"You've forgotten me, guess. I'm
Ralph Holloway, of your own town."
"Oh, know you we'll enough" said
Dick, without taking his hand.
Odd ways are not uncommon amongst
sailors. Ralph said to himself that Dick
was crusty, and put his hand away in his
pocket.
81 shouldn't wonder if you didn't
know me, he said. 'I'm run down and
mighty low in pocket, or wouldn't have
shipped with Captain Palmer. I've had
pretty bad luck"
''Have you2" said Dick. ssAnd yet
they say Old Nick never deserts his
friends"
Al amt made friends with him as I
knows Of" said Ralph. "About the
time married, I got bit of money from
grandfather, and bought a house and
put my wife intoi it. We had a couple
of babies, and things seemed going on
first rats. Then went on an unlucky
voyage, was shipwrecked, came home
sick, and Lay idle six months. Ilet my
insurance run out-cause why2 couldn't
pay it-and that week nv home was
burned down By tramp I'd driv off the
place. One Of the children was badly
