himself firmly against the davits.
A bundle of waterproofs dashed across
the sloping deck with rapidity that
would have made cannon ball ashamed
OF It's slowness, and procipitated itself
fairly In his arms.
Two hands claspod tho sleeve Of his
mHckintosh. He looked down at them.
Worry pretty hands thcy were, small and

He studied tho bundle Of watorproofs

could not learn-sho was laughing. A.
pair Of dark oyoS looked up at him. then
the lids dropped domurely over them.

cap with his unoccupiod hand, "forgiyo
me. In the confusion Of tho moment

and reached the goal my reputation MS
full back would have been ruined"
A few minutes lator they were seated

"Noither do |, laughed Harry. Lets

As Harry said long aitorward, that
dinner settled IT," A few miserable

morcilcssly assert its sway, and they
would stink hastily back to their state.
