singing ropes end, useless now, fell to
the deck.
Over the upper rail the passengers
leaned, watching.
"a shame!' cried one. "That bloody
brute will kill him out of hand!"
""ris the clerk! Pshaw!" said the
Quartermaster. He sides with the
rabble. Let the rabble care for him!''
The woman who had been the unwit-
ting cause Of this struggle crouched
back of the first sullenly intent rows,
waiting, hugging her bundle. The 9th
ers watched, guessing well what the
issue would be, most of them accepting
it as they had accepted the unspeak-
able fare, the cursings and revilings of
the crew, with that stolid acceptance
which, multiplied by centuries of hered-
ity, had brought them at last to this
same condition.
The Nirginian leaned down with vi
brant hopelessness. He looked to see
the secretary, vised and cracked in
those arms, drop limp and senseless.
AS he looked he saw Armand's face,
very white, turn up to him.
Then, like lightning, wonderful
thing happened. The young mans chin
sank deep into the hollow of the others
shoulder; his arms Went up about the
muscles of the bulky back; 1.-the legs
like wire went suddenly curling and
twisting about the stocky ones. A mo-

shocked surprise OH the mates slashed

Ia HE Yorktown wharf was fair
sight to the passengers of the
Two Sisters as the ship swung
~ to her mornings. Beyond the
yellow clay bank the shore glowed in
violet green dazzle of foliage, flame
of amethyst and pink, and over all the
sun hung lazy, like some splendid
dream rose, strewing its petals upon n
bay of tinted glass.
The bank behind the wharf was a
fringe of negroes, their vacant minded
happiness shaking out laughter as wind
shakes blossoms FROM IL locust tree.

The japanese have it under another

ing dens of Paris and was to some ex-
tent popularized by clever rogue who
earned freedom from the Bastille by
teaching it to young officers of title. 1t
was an art of leg fence, and by precise
ly the same twist and wiring which a
practiced swordsman uses to disarm an
adversary, the blade in this case being
bone and flesh, Armand had sent the
mates knee leaping from its socket.
To the majority of those who saw it
this was perfectly incomprehensihle. 4
gasp Of Wonder ran among the redemp-
TONERS, and they laughed loudly at the
mates groan. The secretary had lost
none of his alertness, though he was
breathing hard. He sprang at the
stanchion, clearly intending to return
to the upper deck by the way he had
come.
But he was too late. The mates sail
ors rushed upon him.
Cary, shaking with excitement, sent
out cry.
"By Harry!' he shouted to the pas
sengers about him. "Shall we see him
that fought SO beat like dog? Are we
poltroons, all!"

could reach the lower level aid came

ing a thumb at the mate who sat UP,

The woman, still holding the bundle,
had pressed to the secretary's side and
was pouring out torrent of grateful
incoherencies. Master elves began
cursing her with vigor, but Armand
touched his arms

mate would have cast it overheard. |
ask for the mother a twelve hours
time. If we do not sight land by then
l will ask no more"
But land was not to be seen that day.
Next morning came-the secretary's
fight had been in vall. Then there was
another gathering to the forward rail
of the upper deck.
This was to watch the young French
man sitting among the rcdemptioners,
sewing round shot carefully into the
foot of white silk bundle the size of
babe. The mother. now with empty
arms, trailed her long hair and sat, red
eyed, sodden with weeping, beside him.
This done, he stitched over the silk
neckcrchief clean canvas and last of
all sewed to its top tiny gold cross
which lie took from his pocket. The
bundle, held now by willing hands, was
laid on n little board whose end pro-
jected over the rail- and then Armand,
with barred head, took his stand beside
it, and they heard his voice repeating
part of the I1uguenot service for the
dead.
Few understood the words, for they
were French, but all grasped their
meaning. The fresh checks of the girls
were wet with tears. The toilers' seam
ed faces We're pitiful. Even the crime
smirched ones We're softer. And the
mother was satisfied. Had not her
child been blessed? To her none but a
priest could perform such rite, and
Armand, though wearing no cassock,
was yet in some mysterious way u
priest.
So are we all His minister's!
