"she'Il Never Know Me in This Rig"

blasted horse to be doing the work of
two men? Anyhow, she'll be put
wise when she reaches Chicago"
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-
milton, and he reflected that the stage
must have lost a 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
lover. In fact, the mate, being a
single man in the ~s:ly thirtes, 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 partiality 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.
"A nice party you are" he con-
cluded, Ito come givin' me advice.
Wot is it to you if the girls took a
fancy to me? Regular dog in the man
ger, that's wot you are. Don't want
her yourself an can't bear to see any
one else get her. For two pins I'd
blow the whole game, an then
where'd you be?"
81 was speakin' for your good, Bill
pleaded the crestfallen captain. You
don't know wot an artful dame
she is
AN how about yourself?" queried
the mate. You're a fine honest
hearted innocent to preach about art
fulness. Anyway the Jig i'll be up

Miss Antrim. Perhaps he could tell
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 a deaf
mute be captain of a steamer?'
The mates face flushed. It's this
way" he explained. His uncle's the
main guy of the Sherlock Navigation
Company, an he gave Chester tic
job. He amt much of sailor, an
all the work falls on me-"
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 go to Chicago on the
Arklam."
Mr.. Prout uttered a Mortified ex-
clamation.
Back on the Arklam!" he repeated.
What for?"
ITO visit Jim's grave" responded
the artless Miss Antrim.
IT'S 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"
We'll, Capt. Chester's ashore Just
now" declared the mate, desperately.
THAT doesn't matter, I'll see him
later" she said, airily. I'm going
home now to pack my things and get
ready"
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, resplendent in false
beard and wig of inky blackness, as.
sumed to deceive his lady loves pene.
upon a personal interview, received
his officers tidings with violent ex.
plosion of highly ornamental pro.
family.
You've bungled the whole business
you nigger-headed swab!" he said
heatedly. What the blue blazes are
we to do now? If that girl ever
lands in Chicago and finds out I'm
alive and have wife and four kids
: therell be the devil to pay"
""Tain't my fault" protested the
mate, sullenly. What business had
you to make love to her? Might
have known there'd be trouble"
Il wasn't all to blame. Bill" a.

The skipper of the steamer Arklam
muttercd something uncomplimeatary
under his breath, but producing a
bulky pocketbook extracted several
bills thcrafrom and rassed them to
the mate. who thrust them into his
pocket and faced his superior with a
satisfied smirk
