well, it'll give me time to think
the matter over" said Brundage,
hopefully. "You can stand the day
watches and I'll come on at night"
Mr. Prout entered a vigorous pro-
test, but in the end his superior'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 memorable
voyage.
Capt. Brundage, in the role of the
silent Chester, passed muster before
the girls eyes in highly creditable
fashion. She made no sign of recog.

must have lost shining light through
his falling 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 liveliness of spirit not
wholly in keeping with the sorrow of
a maiden whom death had deprived of
lover. In fact, the mate, being a
single man in the >s:ly thirties, 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 Partially he displayed for
Miss Polly's society. The mate lis
tened to his remonstrances and then

rhetoric, literally favored with harsh
explosives.

Neither can l." agreed the mate,
savagely. at amt your beauty, I'll
swear. Mebbe it's the lies you tell
'em. Some women go daffy over a
slack-mouthed liar"
That's not the point" returned
Brundage, sourly. There's only
one way to square it. We don't
carry passengers as a rule, and she'll
likely be the only one aboard. What
you've got to do now is pass the word
to the crew to keep their mouths shut,
and I'll keep up this deaf and dumb
racket. She'll never know me in this
rig, specially if l only show up after

me something more about JIM"
Not him." responded the mate, has
tily. He didn't know Jim Brundage,
an, anyways" he added as an after
thought, this here Chester's deaf an
dumb; can't speak a word"
A look Of intense surprise deepened
on his hearers countenance.
Deaf and dumb" she repeated
why, good gracious! how can deaf

The mates face flushed. Its this
way" he explained. His uncles the
main guy of the Sherlock Navigation
Company, an he gave Chester the
job. He amt much of a sailor, an

The girl eyed him steadily. "All
the same" she remarked calmly, 'Im
bound to see him, for I've made up
my mind to go to Chicago on the
Arklam."
Mr.. Prout uttered a Mortified ex-
clamation.
Back on the Arklam!" he repeated.
What for?"
"To visit Jim's grave" responded
the artless Miss Antrim.
Its the least / can do under the
circumstances. And it'll be a sort of
consolation to sail on the boat he
used to command, poor fellow"

THAT doesn't matter, I'll see him

home now to pack my things and get

Much aghast at this unexpected
turn of fortunes wheel, Mr. Prout
sought the presence of his chief. who
had prudently remained in seclusion
during Miss Antrim's visit Capt.
Brundage, respondent in a false
beard and wig of inky blackness, as
sumed to deceive his lady loves pene-
trating optics in case she insisted
upon q personal interview, received
his officers tidings with a violent ex-
plosion of highly ornamental pro-
family.

heatedly. What the blue blazes are
we to do now? II that girl ever
lands In Chicago and finds out I'm
alive and have a wife and four kids,

TAUGHT WIFE A LESSON.
New York Business Man Showed
Spouse What $500 Looks Like.

There is brokers' wife residing
within pistol shot of the Majestic, who
learned a lesson In finance recently
which, she says, will last her a while.
She saw pretty rug. downtown and
expressed wish for its possession.
I'VE don't need it for the moment"
she told her husband, "but / am per-
fectly fascinated with 1t and I'd like
to own it-against the time when we
own our house. Please write me a
check for the amount-$600."
The broker is man of means, but
even men of means have looked twice
and even thrice of late before buying
service. This broker, however, is
judge of human nature--or else he
wouldn't be a success in his line Of
business-and he saw an avenue Of
escape.
81 haven't my book with me-" he
glibly said, "but I'll send you the mon
ey as soon as l get downtown"
And he did. He sent his clerk to
the bank with instructions, loaded
him up with 5000 in silver, and sent
him up to the house. When the man
arrived he asked to be shown to the
dining room, and without word he
dumped the contents of the sack in
which he carried the silver. 1t made a
big pile-600 round, glittering dol
lars-and Mrs. Broker was impressed
A check wouldn't have appealed to
her for a moment, but the money &C.
tually talked. She looked at the heap
of silver, and fingered it, too, and at
last she said: You take this money
back. Tell Mr. Blank I've changed
my mind. l guess l can do without
the rug for the present"

Miss Polly Antrim listened with an

Wasn't there-that is-didnt he

kind for me?" she demanded, when
the mate had finished his melancholy
recital.
"Oh, yes" replied Mr.. Prout hur.

of inspiration.

PRINCE OR PRINCESS

premier persuade the giant to ex-
change sexes with the princess? The
great Lord Vahaca set himself to the
task, explaining the necessity of the
case. And the giant, who was not a
bad fellow, CALAMITY agreed to make
the exchange for six days only, to
please the fair princess. Bear in mind,
the giant did not become a princess.
nor the princess a giant There was
no exchange of personality, only in
stead of a princess and a giant there
were now genuine prince and a
giantess. There was little change in
the appearance of the two, and no one
suspected anything Of the strange
compact between them.
The light-spirited prince now led
his soldiers into the city of Pattaly-
Poura and up to the royal palace. The
king was impressed with the formid-
able character of the army, and espe-
cially with the appearance and de-
pertinent of the manly young prince.
The latter fell in love with the prin-
cess at sight, and she lost her heart
as soon as she beheld him. There was
bold, passionate demand for her
hand, which was conceded at once.
But the wedding must be celebrated
on the morrow. How very sudden!
What an ardent wooer! Could he not
wait at least week or two? The
prince shuddered, but stood firm. Not
days delay would be permitted.
All things are allowed to lovers. The
city of Pattaly-Poura improvised a
wedding Of oriental splendor. For
four days it was mad with delight.
Illumjnations, music, parades, dances
and feasting filled the hours. The
prince determined to leave the do
minions Of his father-in-law in short
order. No, no. 1t was useless to talk.
Not another day could he remain; not
another day.
From the ecstasies of those days he
turned to his dark future. On the
sixth day he found himself, with his
sweet bride, in the rocky forest where
the giantess was awaiting him. Would
his bride be a party to the terrible Sc
cret of his life? Must he and his moth
er and sisters and the great Lord Va
haca all suffer death when they should
be at her mercy? Could he exchange
his proud young manhood, so lately
possessed, for the inferior estate Of
woman? He must. The giantess,
doubtless, was awaiting him, impa-
tient to return to her own proper self.
But where was she? How he dreaded
to meet her!
All, she comes! But how? Not with
impatient, stern demand. Not with
stately tread. Simpering, giggling. she
comes, to make statement and prop
osition. Within the past five days she
has had several visits (giggle) from
giant who happened along (te-heD.
He had talked and talked with her,
and-and he had fallen in love with
her (giggle), and she had with him.
And how, would the young prince be
willing, for any consideration-to
make their temporary exchange Of
sexes a permanent arrangement?

when we make port an she goes
huntin' for your grave"
That's So" agreed Brundage, de-
jectedly. 1--WE got to think that over,
Bill"
Think it over yourself" retorted
the aggrieved Mr.. Prout; "but don't
come any nonsense over me, for
won't stand it,"
The Arklam was nearing Chicago
when Capt. Brundage, sitting alone
in MS cabin and figuring desperately
on some means of escape from the
net fate had thrown around him.
looked up III surprise as Miss Polly
entered and closed the door Jehind
her with an emphatic slam. That
done, she sat down and surveyed her
quondam sutton with malicious eyes,
Brundage stared back with sickly
smile, wondering inwardly what her
visit might portend. He was not
left long in doubt.
She suddenly stretched forth a slim,
white hand, and tore the black beard
from his face. Then she set her little
foot upon it and spoke with much
JUNCTION.
What an awful silly you are, Jim
Brundage, to think that you could pull
the wool over my eyes"
The captain wagged his head dis
mally.
"All right, Polly" he said, you've
got me beat What do you reckon
to do?"
IF l was man." said the girl,
scornfully, ed thrash you well, but l
suppose | must get satisfaction an
other way. What hurts me most
isn't your falseness, but the idea that
you considered me such a fool. I've
found out all about you, and unless
you want your wife to know every
thing, you'll do as l say.
When you passed yourself off as a
single man you showed me your
handbook and calculated that $500
would start us nicely in housekeeping.
Now, when We reach Chicago, Jimmy
dear you'll go straight to the bank,
draw $3.50, and hand it over to me.
Then I'll say good.by and you can
thank your stars for getting off so
easily"
The unmasked copspirator swore
bitterly and protested fervently, but
Miss Polly was adamant and he finally
agreed to her terms. His disclosure
to Mr.. Prout of the conditions upon
which he had surrendered was re-
ceived by that unfeelng seaman with
hoarse laugh, which was distinctly
aggravating to his commanders trou-
bled mind.
The Arklam lay at the Clark street
dock with Miss Antrim seated in the
captains cabin placidly awaiting his
return from the bank Beside her
laughed Mr. William Prout, smoking
the pipe of peace. Brundage entered
with a look of intense gloom over
shadowing his countenance, and sig
nailed the mate to retire. Miss Polly
waved her hand in dissent.
Stay where you are" she said, ge-
nially. Count out the money, Jim,
and hurry up"
The mate grinned broadly as his
skipper rugged out the Well-KnOWn
pocketbook, and, signing deeply, hand
ed $3.50 in United States currency to
his female Nemesis. Polly beamed
graciously upon the uncheerful giver.
That's good boy, Jim," she said.
sweetly, 'and now we'll go ashore
happy. BY the way, IL may interest
you to know that Mr.. Prout and !
mean to set up housekeeping on the
strength of your kind gift"
The captains emotion was too deep
for mere words to express. He rose
to his feet, still staring helplessly, as
Miss Antrim, leaning on the arm Of
the gratifled mate, tripped merrily
along the gang plank to the wharf
