against the tanrail, some distance
apart from each other, were Anstruth-
er and Lord Ventnor. Need 1t be

and Robert entered.
Can you give me half an hour" he
asked. Il have something to say to

The shipowner silently motioned him
to q seat.
1T concerns Iris and myself" con-
tnued Anstruther. II gathered from
your words when we met on the island
that both you and Lord Ventnor re-
garded Iris as his lordship's promised
bride. From your point Of view the
arrangement was perhaps natural and
equitable. but since your daughter left

Then he proceeded to place before

sOrdid story Of woman's perfidy twice

At the conclusion Sir Arthur bowed
his head between his hands.

dertaking. marriage with beautiful
and charming woman-these items
would consolidate his career. His heart
was set on Iris.
He seized the first opportunity that
presented itself to make Sir Arthur
Deane acquainted with a decision al
ready dreaded by the unfortunate ship
owner. Iris must either abandon her
infatuation for Anstruther or bring
about the ruin Of her father. There
was no mean.

ming up.
This brutal argument rather over
shot the mark. The shipowner's face
flushed with anger, and Lord Ventnor
hastened to retrieve false step.

way. Deane, but my temper is little

1t may be assumed from this remark
that even the earls sardonic temper
was ruftled by the girls outrageous be-
havior. Nor was 1t exactly pleasant to
him to note how steadily Anstruther
advanced in the favor Of every officer
on the ship. By tacit consent the court
martial was tabooed, ut any rate until
the Orient reached Singapore. Every
one knew that the quarrel lay between
Robert and Ventnor, and it is not to be
wondered at II Iris influence alone
were sufficient to turn the scale in To-
vor Of her lover.
The shipowner refused point blank
to interfere in any way during the voy-
age.

retorted bitterly. do you wish me to
