CHAPTER II.

must own that was SO taken
aback by this incident that 1 found
it difficult to look as if nothing in
particular had happened.
Allowing for the fact that Dick
Mullion had supposed himself to be
alone, and had not heard me coming
up to him, it still remained an ex-
traordinary thing that he should be
! SO much startled by my approach and
should assume the manner OF some
guilty wretch caught by the hand of
Justice.
That was what came into my head
aa looked at him and as he glared
at me saw the absurdity of the
thing before he did, / think; for he
was still .glaring when said:
What's the matter? You look as
If I'd frightened you'll"
He at once dropped into his ordi.
nary manner, though, confess,
did not find that much more attract
i've than his recent extraordinary one.
Il didn't hear you coming" said he,
shortly, as he dropped back into HIS
seat, and thrust his hands into his
pockets with logged look of sullen-
ness on his face.
waited about for few minutes,
but he did not take the book out Of
his pocket again; and when threw
an occasional glance at him as I
walked up and down with cigarette
between my lips, confess it made
me feel rather uncomfortable to find
that he was watching me in what
seemed to be stealthy fashion
from under his broad, black eye
brows.
soon had enough of it, and went
on deck, and was glad to find pretty
Miss Atkinson in deck chair, with
bit of something that ladies call
fancy work to give her an excuse for
doing nothing at all
suppose l was still looking rather
disturbed, for our beauty bestowed
upon me little more attention than
she generally did; that isn't saying
much.
How lucky you are never to be
seasick, Miss Atkinson," said I, by
way of opening to the talk was de-
termined to have with her.
Yes, suppose I am. You suffer
very badly, don't your" she added,
giving me look in which /, with sur
prise, detected good deal of pity.
III Oh, no! Not after the first
day or two," I retorted, rather Of
tended by the suggestion.
! But she looked incredulous.
"You look as if you did, this morn
Ing" she said. "You really look
quite green"
"Oh, that's not seasickness; it's
the result of an encounter I've just
had with your beetle-browed adj
mirer."
She pretended not to know whom
l meant. But she did know, and she
was displeased.
"And, pray, who is that?" she
asked, very frigidly.
"Mr. Richard Mullion. the old doc.

An English firm of solicitors, who
recently wrote to the president of the
University of Idaho offering to pur-
chase an LII. D. degree for a young
client who was thinking of entering
parliament, received the following
very caustic reply: "The principal
whom you represent has disgraced
his nationality, the bar and himself.

Ellis looks belle him, them" said I,
candidly. HE keeps his good heart
to himself, as effectually as he does
his good manners. Sorry if hurt your
feelings, doctor, but we all think him
q surly beggar."
The old doctor seemed quite puz-
zled.
"Not surly. Undemon stative. per.
haps," corrected he, earnestly. ~
can't understand anyone thinking
badly of my Dick. I've brought him
up; he lost his father, my brother,
when he was quite young lad, and
he's beensa son and good son, too,
to me ever since.
Then why does he wear that hang
dog sort Of look?" said I, boldly,
thinking now was in for it might
as well speak out. HE never
looks anybody straight in the
face, and always looks more like
an anarchist conspirator than q
straightforward Englishman.''
DR.. Mullion burst out laughing, and
his blue eyes twinkled with fun as
he answered me.
"Ha, ha, ha! That's what all your
thoughts are running on now!" said
he, laughing still. Dicks no anar-
chist, I'll swear. It's true he doesn't
look very happy now, but the reason
does him credit. He's a student at
Bartholomew, as perhaps you know,
and like good many other young
men, he's been little bit wild, lit
tie bit inclined to be extravagant
lately. Now perhaps am rather too
strict in my notions; one grows
straightlaced as one grows older;
and I fancy the lad has taken my
structures little too much to heart.
But there's no harm in my boy, no
harm at ALL" And the old mans
tone dropped into a solemn earnest
ness which he wore upon occasion,
which contrasted rather finely with
his usual air Of good-tempered, al
most ight-hearted serenity.
I was 30 much impressed by what
the old boy said that felt some COM
junction for my harsh thoughts Of
the young fellow and for the very Sc
we're criticisms passed upon him, of
which had contributed my full share.
So, happening to saunter into tho
smokng-room only few minutes
later, and to see Richard Mullion sit
ting in corner, with his kneea
crossed and his back bent over Q
book, l walked straight over toward
him, determined to make an advance
toward an amicable understanding.
He was SO intent on his book that
he did not hear me come up. was
near enough to see before uttered
word that the book he held was .
small. thick one, and that, absorbing
as its contents seemed to be, it was
not novel.
Then just said: Halo"
got no further. With sort Of
conyulsive sound in his throat, Dick
Mullion jumped up from his seat,
shut the book, and slipped it into one
of his pockets, and stood up facing
me, his face white, his eyes glaring,
as if he had been detected in the act
of committing crime.
I shrank back with a queer feel
ing in my threat.
