him, for he stood before it for at least
a quarter Of an hour HOskins looked
after him, and then turned to Miss
Sanford, who was sitting near.
''Nice sort of chap to have on a

to stick to dry land"
"Well, you know, l have a fellow

swered; I'm afraid of the sea myself"
"Ah,' he said, "but you're a woman,
YOU see. A bit Of fearis all right in
a woman. It's natural to them. But
with a man it's different. A man
ought to be afraid of nothing"
"And are you not afraid of anything,

Margaret Anglin, who refused to pro-
coed with the third act Of William
Vaughn Moody's play until he signed
a document giving her the exclusive
American, English and Australian
rights to it, was born in the Canadian
House of Parliament twenty-five years
ago. That her birthplace was un-
usual resulted from the fact that her
father, Timothy Anglin, was Speaker
OF the Canadian House and her mother
was there during a session.
Miss Anglin has been on the stage
ten years, her first important engage
ment being with James O'Neill, with
whom she played Mercedes in Monte
Cristo." In Mansfield's production Of
the famous "Cyrano de Bergerac" she
had the part of Roxanne, and later
was star in the Empire Theatre Stock
Company of New York. For two years
she has been at the head of her own
company, and has achieved marked
success in 'Zira."

shadow. Let me give you a bit Of
fatherly advice, Miss Sanford. When
you are looking for man to marry,
never select a coward. A girl like you
wants someone who will protect her In
times of danger; someone she can rely
on and look up to-"
"T'm not thinking Of getting mar
ried,' she said shyly. "But when do,
I'll bear your advice in mind, Captain"
"Thats it," said Hoskins. think
over it carefully. And as for getting
married, I'd be glad if you'd think
over that too"
She started, with frightened look.
"Oh, Captain!" she said. "Please

'Miss Sandford!" he said, "Hildal
haven't you a word for a poor old sea-
man who worships the very ground
you tread on? Think over it. None
but the brave deserve the fair, you
know"
"You mustn't speak like this" she
exclaimed, rising as though she were
distressed. "You are older than / am
and l don't know that you are a brave
man.s I have only your word for it
Please don't speak to me about this
again."

too far. "Waitr' he said, "don't be

to IT," said Hosklns modestly. "a
brave man and a pretty woman are
two OF the finest sights In creation.
They ought always TO be together"
There was something In his tone that
made her blush, and though she agreed
with him, she took the iirst opportunity
of clearing of to another part Of the
deck.
Shortly afterwards we put to sea.
For the next few days we had the
best weather, and everything went
smoothly. / could see one or two
things that set me thinking. The
first was that the old man was making
himself uhcommonly attentive 70 Miss
Sanford. The second was that Mr..
Hay, In a quiet aud timid sort OF way,
was thinking a good deal OF her too.
For my part, | thought the gill fancled
Hay rather than Hoskins; and though
she couldn't avoid the "old man." and
could not help listening to his sea
yarns, / could see her eyes turning
forwards towards the waist where
Hay was putting In his time looking
at the lion.
One afternoon the skipper was sit.
ting beside Miss Sanford on the poop
deck, when Hay came up the COM
panion and made his way towards
them.
"There's something l want to tell
you, Captain" he said. "Its getting
on my mind and making me quite un-
comfortable. That man whose bust
ness 1t is to look after the lion isn't
doing his work properly. The animal
isn't getting enough food. 1t is de
yeloping savage nature. And yester.
day, when | went to see the man about
It. / found that he was intoxicated
| really think you should interfere. "
OF course, the "old man" should
have interfered. But he didn't like
being told his duty by the little Pro
fessor, especially when the girl was
about, so he just sneered.
II 81 pose you're afraid of the beast

II should certainly regard It as un.
fortunate" the little man replied

careless about the fastenings. l must
really insist upon your speaking to

Hoskins. 81 have enough to do tC

Bravery, Doctor, said my friend the
third officer, isn't such simple thing
as you think Il. One man Is brave IN
one way, and anotherin a different one.
Often enough, that which Is called
bravery Is nothing more than custom.
You wouldn't go up on the fore-royal-
yard In half gale 10 reef sail, would
your Not youl You'd be afraid.
Wen, you might think me a brave man
because / would. But then I'd be
afraid to cut chaps leg of. and you
wouldn't
That was what old Captain HosElns,
whom / used to sail with, could never
understand. II a man was a bit nery-
GUS about the sea, he used to look
down on him as all sorts Of a coward.
But there came a day when he learned
better.
II happened when was with him
In a three-masted saillng-ship, the
Arrow. We lay at Singapore, along
side TanJong Pagan wharf, loading
with a general cargo for Liverpool.
The principal object In that cargo was
lion that we were shipping for
London. II lay I'm a strong cage OF
wood and Iron, with q door In the
front through which 1t could be fed.
1t was fine big brute, and every time
It stretched Itself you could see the
muscles slipping over It's sides and the
big, wicked-looking claws peeping out
of the pads Of its feet In a way that
made you very thankful for the bars.
We had a passenger or two, one OF
whom was young girl who went by
the name Of Hilda Sanford. Directly
the old man set eyes on her trim figure
and her wealth Of golden hair, he was
struck all OF heap, so to speak, and |
could see that he was promising him
self mighty pleasant voyage.
The other passenger was a strange
lean, wiry man, who wore gold eve,
glasses, and kept peering about the
ship In a most uncomfortable way
He gave his name as Professor Hay
though we didn't find out what he pro
fessed until later.
An hour or two before we started
this Mr.. Hay came up to the old mar
and began asking him a lot Of ques
tons

we shall have a quiet passage"
Il don't see why we shouldn't, y

Mr.. bay looked up at the sky.
There seems to be = good deal OF

Pretty fair" said Hoskins. "That'c
what's going to take us home. Not
being a steamer, we can't do without
It,"
you're sure it's quite safer" asked
Hay.
"SafeP' says the old man, getting OF
his high horse, "safel I'm sailing THU
