tracted him as much as her beauty.
He was wondering why her voice
sounded so different from any
other American voice he had ever
heard, when his attention was dis
tracted to give some instructions
to his valet. He quickly looked
for the American irl again; but
stopped still in hi, tracks, aston
ished - what he saw. The Ameri-
can v oman was carrying, with a
most solicitous and accustomed
air, a fat, curly haired, baggy
checked infant. Beside her, her
arms full of satchels and shawls,
walked an ungainly negro woman,
with rolling lips and small, twink
ling eyes.
The trio drew the attention of
many other travellers, the girlish
looking young mother, the pretty
baby, and the quaint looking Black
Nanny, who was of Southern
type almost as rarely seen in Eu-
rope as a real cowboy. But when
the passengers had attended to
their baggage, they made the usual

The Baby. held high and tight in Mary's arms,
life and movement Keep it up! Go it, he
cooed, as happy as football rooter.
Captain Hamilton. however, had not lost in
terest in the Americans. He kept them in
sight always edging his way in their direction.
Finally as he had anticipated came the oppor-
tunty to help the fair bearer of the Baby:
Mary had made her way to the gangPlank, and
was lust ready to mount, when two Frenchmen,
= b1indlv pushing forward, elbowed her out of the
- way Hamilton quickly shot out arm, rigid
steel bolt, in front of the two men. vol
ley of protests from the Frenchmen arose IN
skyrocket flash and died away as quickly when
a soft voiced Italian woman exclaimed sympa-
thetically, La Donna colo Bd,nblno!
The Frenchmen the first made of
the worshipful presence of the American Baby.
They instantly backed as far as possible and made
way for the assumed mother and child, with bows
limited necessarily in sweep, but not in good will
Mary hurried with Roxie through the open space
thus cleared and on to the gangway. AS she mounted
with the Baby he smiled benignly over her shoulder
worship of the mother and child held the lately
lnsistent crowd quiet moment, while Mary an
"Assumptive Madonna" in her stylishly hanging
skirt and blue yelled hat, girishly trpped up the
wooden bars.
The alteration, however, was short. Captain
Hamilton forestalled in his attempt to follow in

of the dining salon Hamilton, reaching the deck,
looked among the passengers for the Lady with the
Baby He pushed forward eagerly when he caught
glimpse of a smiling face under blue VEIL bending
over round eyed baby face. He only in time,
however the pair that interested him SO keenly
descend the stairs to the womens cabin.
HAMILTON stayed above all afternoon, most of
II the time pacing restlessly up and down the deck.
There was high wind and ehoppy sea, though the

bino"-thus Hamilton, taking his cue from the
Italian woman's remark, mentally dubbed the inter
esting American travelers-did not reappear upon
deck.
He amazed at the quckness with which his
boredom had vanished-and all at the sight of an
alert, beautiful American woman. The sudden ap-
pearance the of the American Baby-he
unmistakaby of the New World type as his
guardan-and the negro Nanny had, strange to
say, not dampened the ardor of his interest. His
chivalry had taken up as if to bugle call when
he saw her struggling with the child in her arms
amid the selfish crowd. He had luckily been able to

the silence from the Madonna
compartment that had followed
the transferring of the matches.
He could not deceive himself
into thinking that she had taken
any particular notice of himself.
He had been the only person
near her compartment when she
had looked out. She had seemed
SO excited over the Babys cry
ing that he doubted whether she
could tell if he was old or young.
Yet he felt that he had already
won his spurs as the Knight OF
Fair Lady in Distress.
He even began to take an in
dulgent interest in the strong
lunged American Baby. When he
reached the end of the platform
or the top of it, as he would have
expressed it-and came slowly
back by Mary's window, he saw
both the Madonna and the negro
nurse busted in that absorbed and
worshipful attendance, which to a
man is always inexplicable, upon
one small, masterful Babe. A har-
rowing thought now agitated Ham
