"Well, it'll give me time to think
the matter over" said Brundage,
hopefully. you can stand the day
watches and III come on at night"
Mr.. Prout entered vigorous pro-
test, but in the end his supcror's ar
gument prevailed, and he FASTENED to
give the necessary instructions to the
members of the crew. True to her
word, Miss Polly Antrim installed her
self as sole passenger on the Arklam,
and the mate proceeded to map out a
long and difficult course of deception
for what promised to be a memorable
voyage.
Capt. Brundage. in the role of The
silent Chester, passed muster before
the girls eyes in highly crcditable
fashion. She made no sign of reCOg
milton, and he reflected that the stage
must have lost shining light through
his failing to perceive that nature had
clearly intended him for an actor. To
Mr. Prout fell the agreeable task of
entertaining the fair passenger, who
exhibited a livelinesS of spirit not
wholly in keeping with the sorrow Of
a maiden whom death had deprived OF
a lover. In fact :he mate, being a
single man in the ally thirtics. found
himself yielding TO the witchery of
her black eyes, and inwardly congrat-
ulated himself upon the happy chance
which had thrown them together.
On the second day Capt. Brundage
saw fit to take the amorous Mr. Prout
aside and eXpostulate with him on The
too evident partialty he displayed for
Miss Polly's society. The mate lis
tened to his remonstrances and then
INDUCED in a fine burst of longshOre
rhetoric, literally Favored with harsh
eXpletives.

pleaded the crestfallen captain. You
don't know wot an artful dame

tim in record time.
Miss Polly Antrim listened with an
odd CLEAN in her intelligent eyes.
Wasn't there-that is-didn't he
leave a message or anything of that
kind for me?" she demanded, when
the mate had finished his melancholy
recital.
"Oh, yes" replied Mr.. Prout hur
riedly. THE poor chap sent you his
love, an'-an' hoped you'd meet him
in heaven" he concluded in burst
of inspiration.
Polly Antrim glanced at the mate
with tightened lips. Very nice of
him. she commented coolly. Who
did you say took his place."

an. anyways he added as an after
thought, "this here Chester's deaf an

A look of intense surprise deepened
on his hearers countenance.

''Why, good gracious, how can deaf

The mates face flushed. It's this
way" he explained. His uncles the

Company, an he gave Chester the
job. He amt much of sailor, an

The girl eyed him steadily. "All
the same" she remarked calmly, I'm
bound to see him. for I've made up
my mind to so TO Chicago on the
Arklam."
Mr.. Prout uttered Mortified ex-
clamation.

the artless Miss Antrim.

during Miss Antrim's visit. Capt
Brundage, resplendent in false

sumed to deceive his lady loves pene-

upon a personal interview, received
