"Very good" replied his companion.
and they descended to the roomy
saloon, where two long tables were al
ready laid with an ostentatious display
of silver, glassware and cutlery. which
made many, who looked on this wilder
ness of white linen with something like
dismay, hope that the voyage would be
smooth, which, rs it was q winter pas
sage, there was every chance it would
not be. The purser and two of his as
sistants sat at one Of the shorter tables
with a plan before them, marking of
the names of passengers who wished
10 be together, or who wanted some
particular place at any of the tables.
The smaller side tables were still un-
covered, because the number OF passen-
gers at that season Of the year was
comparatively small. As the places
were assigned, one Of the helpers to the
purser wrote the names of the passen-
gers on small cards. and the other put
the cards on the tables.
One young woman, in beautifully
fitted travelling gown, evidently Of the
newest cut and design, stood q little
apart from the general group which
surrounded the purser and his assist
ants. She eagerly scanned every face,

'Well," said the editor, perhaps
that's true. l will think about it. OF
course, you did your best, and appre-
ciatc your efforts; but am sorry you

You are not half SO sorry rs am,"
said Rivers, as he picked up his big Cam

The editor did think about it. He
dashed off n note on a sheet of paper,
pulled down the little knob that rang
the district messenger alarm, and when
the uniformed boy appeared gave him
the note, saying:
.'Deliycr this as quickly Us you can"
The boy disappeared, and the result
of his trip was soon apparent in the ar
rival of IL very natty young woman in
the editorial rooms. She was dressed
in q neatly-fitting tailor-madc costume,
and was n very pretty girl. who lot ketl
about 10, but was, in reality, considera-
bly, older. She had large, appealing
blue eyes, with O tender, Il ustful ex-
precision in them, which made the ordi-
nary man say: What a sweet, inno-
cent look that girl has," yet what the
young woman didn't know about New
York was not worth knowing. She
boastcd that she could get state secrets
from dignified members of the cabinet.

man she looked upon as her lawful

at nearly everything. She had answered

chambermaid in order to write her ex-
pericnccs. She had been arrested and
locked up so that she might write
three-column account for the Sunday
edition of the Argus, of ''IIow Women
Are Treated at Police Headquarters"
The editor looked upon her as one OF
the most valuable members OF his staff,
and she was paid accordingly.
She came into the room with the self
possessed air of the owner of the build
ing, took n seat, after nodding to the
editor. and said: "Well?"
Look here. Jennie" began that aus
tere individual. do You wish to make

"Wcll. this Is not exactly a pleasure
trip. The truth of the matter is. Rivers
has been on a Job and has bungled it
fearfully, besides nearly getting him

The young woman's eyes twinkled.
She liked anything with spice of dan
ger in it, and did not object to hear that
she was expected TO succeed where q
mere masculine reporter had failed.
