She reached up demurely and placed

The professor squirmed.

She shook her head swiftly and
frightened her grasp on his arm.

When the third party enters in
appended the professor sagely. And
he Rugged himself in spirit.
The intervening time before the
ball, the professor spent in a whirl
OF delirious preparation. He even lost
his professional dignity TO such an
extent as to purchase a bag of con-
fetti and empty the contents of it in
the face of a strange lady; and to
shout Justify upon the arrival of King
Priscus.
The night of the ball found him
keyed to the highest point. People were
thronging into the ballroom in regi-
ments, making a gorgeous rainbow Of
color everywhere. Subtle waltz
music was in the air, mingling with
the exquisite laughter Of women and
the deeper information of the mems.
The professor, with a leaping heart
under his fiaring pink disguise
meanered conspicuously in and out
among the guests. But no Doris as
yet. His ire was beginning to ascend
when all at once he caught sight of
her, leaning against one of the win
dow-seats in far corner. He waited
a moment. to catch her eye, and pres
emily she motioned ever so slightly.
The professor, clutching his skirts in
one clumsy hand threaded this way
determinedly through the congested
masses to where the pink domino
awaited him. He offered his arm
without a word and together they dis

wide veranda beyond.

a little before twelve. the professor
had been metamOrphOsed into an In
dian Chief.
On their return to the ballroom, the
Pink Domino was in conspicuous evil
dence. When her mask came on, 1t
was, as a matter Of fact, Doris her
self.
The professor began to wonder dim
ly if he had not taken too much
champagne. But no. There had been
some trick, and man of his learning
and dignity was not to be made ride
ulOus by two silly schoolgirls!
When Doris beheld the professor in
all the magnificence of his war-paint,
she uttered a little cry Of indignation
and turned her back upon his adj
Vances.
But he followed her with professor
like doggedness. and under cover Of
the crowd, siezed her hand and held
it.

mounted on this deck, and it is here
that the launch and cutters attached to
the vessel are carried when the mont

electric launch operated by storage

Engines and Boilers.
Immediately below the main deck,

and the compartments devoted to
them are so full of machinery, annun-

of different kinds that there is hardly
room to turn around. The engine
room is reached by a companionway
just forward of the officers quarters,
and the boiler room is located just

who so desire.
