of so years ago, and had done % 1-16
knots on her trial Mr.. Van Torn took
her over as she was, with her officers,
crew, cook and stores. and rechris-
tened her. She had been launched as
the Alwayn; he called her the Lam
cashire Lass-a bit of sentiment on
his part, for that was the name of a
mare belonging to Lady Maud's
father. which he had once ridden
bareback when he was in an amazing
hurry.
He had one interview with the cap
tain.
See here, captain" he said, 81 may
not want to take trip this season.
I'm that sort of a man. I may or I
may not. But if I do want you, III
want you quick. Seer"
With the last word, he looked up
suddenly, and the captain sew" for
he met pair of eyes that astonished
him.
Yes, see," he answered mechanic
ally.
And If you're in one place with
your boat, and I wire that I want you
in another. I'd like you to get there
right away" said Mr.. Van Torp.
Yes, sir"
They say she'll do % ITO" contin-
ued the owner, but when I wire I
want you I'd like her to do as much
more as she can without bursting a
lung. II you don't think you've got
the kind of engineer who'll keep her
red-hot, tell me right OF and Wen get
another. And don't you fuss about
burning coal, captain. And see that
the crew get all they can eat and not
a drop Of drink but tea and coffee, and
If you let 'em go on shore once in a

Understand, saptain?'
The captain understood and kept his
countenance.
Nov, I want to know one thing"
continued the new owner. Whats

without the least hesitation, and SO
quickly that Mr. Van Torp was i'm

IF that's so, you're pretty smart"
he observed.
You can telephone to Cooks office.

quietly.
The instrument was on the table at
Mr. Van Torps elbow. He looked
sharply at the captain, as he I'M
hooked the receiver and set 1t to his
ear. In a few seconds communication
was given.
Mr.. Van Terp, Rufus Van Torp of
New York. Yes. I want to know
what's the nearest sea port to Bay
reuth Bavaria. Yes Yes That'a
just what want to know. Yes. I'll
hold the wire while you look it up"
He was not kept waiting long.
Venice, you say? You're sure you're
right, 1 suppose? Yes. Yes. 1 was

He hung the receiver in its place
again, and turned to his captain with
different expression, in which adj
miration and satisfaction were quite
apparent.
Well" he said, you're right. It's
Venice. I must say that, for an Eng

The captain smiled quietly, but did
not think it worth while to explain
that the last owner with whom he had
sailed had been Wagner mad and had
gone to Bayreuth regularly. More
over, he had judged mis- man already.

AS quick as you can, captain"
The Englishman looked at his watch
