1t was New Years Eve; mild,

In mantle of salt fog which dimmed
The glare of the electric lights on eth

into nebulous globes of luminous
beauty, and hung like soft gray cur

Bhrieking hoarse warnings of its men,

heavily through the black water Of
San Francisco Bay.
Only one passenger was Drawing the
dampness Of the open forward deck,
and he sat on the side next Goat Is

wheel, with his coat collar turned up
and his hat pulled down over his eyes,
and -self-murder-in his

In every way. He had wasted his

plainly his daughter, tall, straight and
comely after the wholesome, honest

near him.
Then he raised his head and looked
at them surlily, mentally cursing the
relentless fate which even at this last
minute interfered between him and
his nearly accomplished plan. He

now; but as he rose and the light of
the saloon windows fell ON his face
the girl put out her hand suddenly
and cordially.
