"Oh, yes, you will come. will call
in if l may and chat it over with you
when you come home. We have not
breakfasted yet. Goodbye There was
a whir of wheels, and the yellow cloud
rolled away down the road again. By
some legerdemain the admiral found that
he was clutching in his right hand one
of the obnoxious bills. He crumpled it
up and threw it into the roadway.
''I'll be hanged if go, Walker" said
he as he resumed his walk. "Pve never
been hustled into doing thing yet,
whether by woman or man."
I'm not betting man, answered the
doctor, "but | rather think that the odds
are in favor of your going"
The admiral had hardly got home and
had just seated himself in his dining
room when the attack upon him was re-
newed. He was slowly and lovingly un-
folding The Times preparatory to the
long read which led up to luncheon, and
had even got so far as to fasten his gold
en- pince-nez ON to his thin, high bridged
nose, when he heard scrunching of
gravel, and looking over the top of his
paper saw Mrs. Westmacott coming up
the garden walk She was still dressed
in the singular costume which offended
the sailors old fashioned notions of pro-
priety, but he could not deny as he
looked at her that she was very fine
woman. In many climes he had looked
upon women of all shades and ages,
but never upon more clear cut, hand
some face, nor a more erect, supple
and womanly figure. He ceased to
glover as-he gazed upon her, and the
frown was smoothed away from his
rugged brow
herself in the open window, with back
ground of greensward and blue sky. 81
feel like an invader deep in an enemy's
country"
"Itis very welcome invasion, ma'am,"
said he, clearing his throat and pulling at
his collar. ''Try this garden chair. What
is there that | can do for you? Shall /
ring and let Mrs. Denver know that you
are here?"

like discipline, and | think every one is
the better for it, Women have got a
great deal which they had not in the
days of our fathers. They have univer-
stiles all for themselves, | am told, and
there are women doctors, hear. Surely
they should rest contented. What more
can they want?"
"You a1e sailor, and sailors are al
ways chivalrous If you could see how
things really, are you would change your
opinion. What are the poor things to
do? There are so many of them and so
few things to which they can turn their
hands. Governesses? But there are
hardly any situations Music and draw
ing? There is not one in fifty who has
any special talent in that direction. Med
icine? 1t is still surrounded with diff
culties for women, and it takes many
years and small fortune to qualify.
Nursingp IT is hard work i'll paid, and
none but the strongest can stand it,
What would you have them do then,
admiral? Sit down and starve?"
'Tut, tut! 1t is not so bad as that"
