The Ingenious
Miss Davis
BY Barley Jones

The ingenious Miss Davis came
aboard the Baltic at Southampton with
her father to make the trip to New
York. She was young lady of Is,
and her father was a venerable man Of
55. We all felt sorry for them the mo-
ment they stepped on board First
they had not secured their passage in
had just received telegram recalling
him to London. The steamer was full
up with passengers and for few
minutes 1t seemed that Miss Davis
would have to go ashore with her
father or take quarters In the steerage
Then Mr.. Edgar Greenleaf. young
man from New York, who hadsbeen
seeing Europe and wasting a good deal
Of money to bring back loud clothes
and high collars, caught sight OF the
handsome girl and the problem was
solved. He would double up with
some male passenger. and give her his
stateroom. She protested and her
father protested, but young Mr.. Green
leaf would have 1t so. When the CIR
smiled on him, the venerable father
patted him on the back and made the
necessary financial arrangements will

Miss Davis struck good thing. She
had a good stateroom all to herself
she was by all odds the best looking
girl on board-she made herself
favorite almost at once, and II the 20 o

some papers that had become neces-

Young Mr. Greenleaf naturally held
the best cards up to certain point

up that Mr.. Greenleaf had lost a valu

questions were asked, but no one tool
any great interest. The loser coul'
have told the purser that he missed
the pin half an hour after sitting In

at his elbow, but he didn't go into PAL
