two of the finest sights in creation.
They ought always to be together"
There was something in his tone that

with him, she took the first 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 uncommonly attentive to Miss
Sandford. The second was that Mr.
Hay, in n quiet and timid sort of way,
was thinking a good deal of her too.
For my part, l thought the girl fancled
Hay rather than Hoskins: and though
she couldn't avoid the '.old man." and
could not help listening to his sea
yarns, I 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 I want to tell
you, Captain" he said. Its getting
on my mind and making me quite un-
comfortable. That man whose busi-
ness it Is to look after the lion isn't
doing his work properly. The animal
isn't getting enough food. 1t Is de-
veloping savage nature. And yestcr-
day, when went to see the man about
II, I found that he was intoxicated.

OF course. the "oid man" should
have interfcred. But he didn't like
being told his duty by the little Pro-
fessor, especially when the girl was
about, SO he just sneered.

Il should certainly regard II as un-

FRom The Sketch

Bravery, Doctor, said my friend the
third officer, isn't such simple thing
as you think it. One man Is brave In
one way, and another in 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 a gale to reef sail, would
you? Not you! You'd be afraid.
Well, you might think me brave man
because / would. But then I'd be
afraid to cut chaps leg of, and you
wouldn't.
That was what old Captain Hoskins.
whom i used to sail WITH could never
understand. If man was bit nerv-
Gus about the sea, he used to look
down on him as all sorts OF coward.
But there came day when he learned
better.
1t happened when I was with him
in a three-masted sailing-ship, the
Arrow. We lay at Singapore, along
side Tanjong Pagan wharf, loading
with general cargo for Liverpool.
The principal object in that cargo was
q lion that we We're shipping for
London. 1t lay In strong cage of
wood and iron, with door in the
front through which II could be fed.
II was fine big brute. and every time
1t stretched itself you could see the
muscles slipping over its sides and the
big. wicked-lookilg claws peeping out
OF the pads OF Its feet in a way that
made you very thankful for the bars.
We had 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

could see that he was promising him
self a mighty pleasant voyage.
The other passenger was strange,
lean. wiry man. who wore gold eye
glasses, and kept peering about the
ship In most uncomfortable way.
He gave his name as Professor Hay.
though we didn't find out what he pro-
fcssed until later.
An hour or two before we started
this Mr.. Hay came up TO the old man
and began asking him lot OF ques-
tions.
Captain" he said nervously. Il hope
We shall have quiet passage"
II don't see why we shouldn't"
said Hoskins genIally.
Mr.. Hay looked up ut the sky.
There seems TO lie . good deal Of
wind about" he said.
Pretty fair" said Hosklns. THAT'S
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.
