ness, and it was late the next morn
ing when Il careful steward and Il
sympathetic stewardess helped the ex-
hausted girl to the deck and COM
fortably installed her in a deck chair,
where Dorsey presently found her. >
Dorsey seated himself on stool be-
side her chair and prepared to make
himself diverting, but it was Miss
Sommers who found the diversion.
Against Dorsey's dark coat her sharp
eyes spied n golden strand. She lean
ed forward to remove il, and the next
moment she was holding it accusingly
before his eyes, while her glance
sought the sunny haired soubrette who
was crossing TO play the London mu-
sic halls.
You must have missed me last night,
as you say said Miss Sommers bit
terly.
But look here. Nell" declared Dor
sey miserably. Il swear to you that

II hate a man who does not tell the
truth. Therefore / hate you. Please
so away"
Dorsey went. miserably enough,
while Nell Sommers sank back in her
steamer chair lost in her bitter
thoughts. She liked Dorsey, and 1t
cut her to the quick that he should
have spent the evening flirting with
the little soubrette, while she herself
lay in her berth vainly wishing the
ship would run aground if only the
awful rolling of the vessel might stop.
Dorsey, manlike, made for the solace
of the smoking room. At the head OF
the companiOnway lounged one of the
| men who had been engaged in a poker
game the night before. Now his face
wns wreathed in smiles as he followed
! the miserable lover to the deck below.
Il see you were caught with the
goods he said, with laugh, as he
took seat at Dorsey's table. Adams
looked at him savagely.
Il wish you'd mind your own blan
ed business" he growled. The strau
ger ONLY smiled pleasantly.

There was real friendliness in thu

Under ordinary circumstances the
trip across the Atlantic would have
been quiet indeed The eastbouud
traffic was light and most of it went
to the newer and faster boats. There
were less than fourscore passengers in
the first cabin, and Dorsey Adams look
ed forward TO Il long, quiet week with
Nell Sommers.
For more than year Dorsey had
sought to win Nell's hand and with
fair prospect of eventual success.
When he heard THAI the family was
going to Europe for the winter he
planned to take the same boat, and
the evident pleasure with which Nell
greeted the announcement greatly
cheered the anxious Adams.
But the boat had not reached the
banks before the course of true love
