rate fight, shook his harness until it
ratified.
But he eyed the thrush of the sea
with much disfavOr, so he leaped up
on the table beside Elsie and looked
at her as though he would ask why she
had permitted this sacrilege.
Though the dog was apparently un-
scathed and in the best of condition.
his head and fore paws were blood
stained. His advent dispeiled the mist
which was gathering in the girls
brain. She feared tragedy, yet Joey
assuredly would not be so cheerful, so
daintily DESTROYS to avoid the splash
ing water in the cabin if his master
were injured. The mere presence of
the dog was a guarantee that Courte-
nay had not quilted the ship.
'Oh, Joey" she said, Il wish you
could speak,"
The sound of her own voice startled
her. She was yielding to nervousness
again and was on the point of ventur
ing out. at least as far as the deck
house ran, to see If she could distin-
guish what was taking place on the
after part of the vessel. when Dr.
Christobal entered.
Il suppose you thought you were for

smile, for Christobal would have a

oblige me by drinking this"
This" was a glass of champagne
which he hurriedly poured out of
small bottle he was carrying into
glass which he produced from a
pocket. The mere sight of the wine
caused Elsie to realize that her lips
and palate We're on fire with salt. AT
one moment she had not the slightest
cognizance of her suffering. At the
next she felt that speech was impossi-
BILE until she drank. Never before had
she known what thirst was.
"Ah. that is BETTER said the doctor.
Now, if you don't mind, we shall have
the door closed"
With peace suddenly restored to the
room and her faculties helped more
than she suspected, Elsie began to
wonder what mad happened.
where are the Others" she asked,
land why are you taking things so
coolly? Captain Courtenay said
Captain Courtenay said exactly what
he meant. But circumstances proved
too strong for him. We shall not be
liable to leave the ship just yet
Cant they lower any of the boats?"
Most decidedly. Two boats have
been gone some time. l imagined you
knew that. Did not the captain tell
you?"
Elsie felt that her companions glib
tone was artificial Something had oc-
Cured which he was keeping from her.
She believed that he had gone to the
salon to procure the wine so that she
might have what men called Dutch
courage when bad news came
Il have not exchanged dozen words
with the captain since you refused my
help in the fore cabin" she saiS- "He

Yes
IF they are living, they are far
enough away by this time When their
boat was lowered it was cast off pre-
maturely"-
"Purposely?"
well. yes. Courtenay had just plaA-
ed Miss Baring's maid on board when
some OF the crew let go the ropes.
What could we do? We were forced to

Christobal threw out his hands in
his characteristic gesture. He was so
emphatic that he spilled some of the
wine.

HER WAY

Nobody had been quite sure that
Marjorie was especially interested in
young Gregg until summer came.
He was so essentially the sort OF
young man she should be interested in
that her friends and family were ma
lurally anxious. Marjorie had shown a
disposition since she left school to
daily with hearts recklessly and cast
Them aside. Those who had young
Gregg's interests at heart feared for
him.
But when summer came and Mar
jorie announced that while her mother
and her younger sister might go to the
seashore if they chose. she intended
to stay at home and see that dear
father was made happy and comfort
able, every one put his or her own in
depreciation on her self-sacrifice.
She's afraid to go away and let
Alvin Gregg see how well he can get
along without herr" said the girl who
was jealous OF Marjorie.
Il believe she really is in love at
last" said Marjories mother, reluc-
iantly.
Marjorie stayed. Dear father found
RppetiZing dinners and wonderful iced
drinks in the evening. That he usual
ly shared these latter comforts with
young Gregg In nowise detracted from
his enjoyment Marjorie's father had
