science was. after all, practically lden-
teal with the biblical legend
1t was when Shirley was face to face
with Nature in her widest and most
primitive aspects that this deep-rooted
religious feeling moved her most
strongly. At these times she felt her
self another being. exalted. sublimateG,
lifted from this little world with its
petty affairs and vanities up 70 dizzy
heights. She had felt the same Sensa-

Splendent radiance of the countless
stars, she felt il now as she looked at

1T IS so beautiful she murmured
as she turned TO walk. The ship was
rolling a little ana she took Jefferson
arm to steady herself. Shirley was an
athletic girl and had all the ease and
grace Of carriage that comes of much
tennis and golf playing. Barely TWEEN
ty-fOur years old, she was still IL the
frSt lush of youth and health, and
there was nothing she loved so much
as exercise and fresh air. After few
turns on deck. there was a rudy
glow IN her cheeks that was good TO
see and many an admiring glance was
cast at the young couple as they strobe
hrlSkly up and down past the double
rows of elongated steamer chairs.
Ihey had the deck pretty much to
themselves. 1t was only O'Clock, too
early for the appetite-stimulating walk
before dinner, and their fellow passen-
gers were basking in the sunshine,
stretched out on their chairs in two
even rows like so many mummies on

generous nature was capable yet Sc
cretly he did not regret that events
had neceSsitated this sudden return
home together on the same ship He
was sorry for Judge Rossmore, OF

not do on his return to secure with
drawal OF the charges. That his father
would use his influence he had no
doubt But meantime he was selfish
enough 70 be glad for the opportunity
il gave him to be a whole week alone
with Shirley. No matter how much
one may DO with people IN city or
country or even when stopping at the
same hotel or house, there is no place
In the world where two persons, es-
peciaIly when they are Of the opposite
sex, can become so intimate as on ship
board. The reason Is obvious. The
days are long and monOtonous. There
is nowhere to go. nothing TO see but

makes It's appearance alongside and
how welcome one is apt to make the
intruder.
Thus events combined with the
weather conspired to bring Shirley and
jefferson more closely together. The
sea had been rough ever since they
sailed. keeping Mrs. Blake confined TO
her stateroom almost continuously.
They were. therefore. constantly In one
anOther's company. and slowly. uncOn-
