looking me full In the face, with an
amused expression on HIS handsome face.
what n fine looking lady that is sitting
yonder watching the sunset, with the
young lady at her side" remarked the
duke, changing the subject abruptly.
IL wonder II they are Americansi" !
asked as we strolled along the deck.
Have you met them"
Eyes, 10 both your questions. | have
met them and they are Americans. The
elderly lady Is the mother The young
lady Is one of the finest violinists OF her
age I'm the world. They are now returning
home from Europe. The daughter mas just

passed in To supper.
Evening on shipboard Is usually a de-
lightful time Every one Is willing To be
agreeable There were several good must
clans on board who kindly favored us with
music. And glee clubs were formed from
the merry company. Some paired OF for
quiet game OF whist. the only game al
lowed on board by order OF the captain.
Just at sunset on the third night out, a
cloud gathered I'm the west, and we saw
old Neptune dashed into fury by most
terrific thunder storm. The great ship was
dashed from side 10 side like a toy. Then
i found that sea sickness Is one OF the usu.
al penalties for crossing the ocean. Brac-
ing myself with my UMBRELLA, | was ready
TO surrender all, even 10 my boots All
night heard something on my cabin floor
rolling 20 and fro as the great ship rolled
from side TO side on the mountainous
waves but | was too sick TO care TO ex-
anime what il was. When morning came
and the storm without and the tempest
within had subsidized saw my beautiful
new silk hat (and what Englishman Is
ever without oneS) with the rim worn of
and minus crown. IL had fallen TO the
floor and was ruined. A storm at sea
makes one feel very helpless. A terrible
storm on land Il n trial 10 peoples nerves,
but there you are only threatened with
danger from above At sea you are like an
atom tossed about, rs helpless as n leaf IN
the wind. thought OF the philosophy
of Sambo when he said RI dc cahs run
of de track, dab We is; ef de boat goes 10
pieces, whah Is yeyn
IL was n grand sight that met our view
as the sun rose over the black cloud that
had just passed over ms. The waters were
rolling mountains high and every wave
seemed determined to engulf the ship.
That was the only storm we had during
our voyage. After Il was over | was glad
OF having had the experience OF seeing the
mighty ocean when maddened into fury
One evening call was made for the
young violinist. While she is not gushing
ly beautiful, she has bright look that is
very attractive. She has a clear complex
ion tinged with the rosy glow OF health,
dark eyes, an expressive mouth, and slight
ly Roman nose AS she took her position
she was greeted with hearty cheers Max
ing a slight bow Of thanks, ~Ie held her
violin I'm her white, tapering fingers and
with their skillful touch aud the graceful
movements Of the bow she sent forth the
most delicate melodies selected from her
favorite operas, and some choice gems
from the old masters she rendered with an
ease and skill that ole Bull himself might
have tried In vain 10 surpass. ! thought OF
| Stella, how she would have enjoyed the
| treat But where was my lost friend
/ Was leaving her behind, or would ! find

and gladnessg
There Is no place where one is so tempt

ship board. One day rs | was standing ON
deck thinking OF my lost friend, the duke
came 10 me, and, placing his hand upon
my shoulder, said;

laughing.
