Good night, colonel" she said softly,
and as she watched him swing away
laughed lightly and strangely. Later,
still standing outside her door, she
sighed, and an odd light glowed deep
in her eyes of grayish-gr Signing

that rang a thought derisive, as
though she were fouting the man
whose service she accepted so gladly,
she turned and vanished within her
stateroOm.
AS she did so, the opposite door
that of an inside stateroom on the
same gangway-was opened cautious

eyes glancing swiftly up and down the
corridor. Long since however, the
excited passengers had been reassur-
ed and had returned to their berths;
the coast was clear.
The lascar stepped noiseless1y out,
shut the door without sound, and
sped swiftly forward: long. brown
man with an impassive cast of coun-
tenance in which his eyes shone with
curious light.
AS he swung into the space at the
foot of the saloon companionway, he
collided violently with an understood
and excessively red-headed Irishman,
nearly upsetting the latter, to say
nothing of a glass of brandy-and-soda
which he was conveying to a certain
stateroom

hesitant, then put down the tray and
pursued. He caught the flicker of the
lascar's cummerbund as the latter es-
capped to the deck, and himself arrived
at the forward end of the promenade
just in time to see a white shape dis
appear into the steerage companion

Best Business Creator.

AS a business creator, what is there
better than advertising? Have you
ever asked that question of yourself?
The millions that advertising has
made for merchants are uncountable.
yet there are business men who even
now don't believe in advertising, just
as there are people who still think it
is safer and more convenient to travel

unfeigned delight. Faith, begin to

From the bottom step of the tramp's
ladder he tossed a coin to the boat
man, then mounted to the deck. In.
continently the stout man fell heavily
upon his neck with symptoms of ex-
IRENE joy. A lull succeeding his first
transports, he wiped his eyes, beamed
upon his guest and suggested insinuat-
ingly: DRINK"
"Rrevity's ever the soul of your
wit, captain" said O'Rourke. 81 will"
And he meekly followed Quick's bare
heels forward to the officers quarters
beneath the bridge.
Having set him in a chair, Quick,
still a-gurgle, wandered off, unearth-
ed a bottle, beamed upon his visitor,
asked a dozen questions in as many
breaths and, without waiting for an
answer, waddled off again to return
with a brace of dripping soda-water
bottles. "Schweppe's," he said, pat

'The top of the day to We, Dravos!"
said O'Rourke loudly, for little Dravos
was partially deaf. And how are the
engines?"
The engineer carefully hitched up
his trousers and regarded the wander
er with temperate geniality.
Good afternoon, Colonel O'Rourke,"
he replied, clipping his words mincing-
ly. Very nicely, thank you"
He shook hands, sat down on the edge
of a berth with the manner of one
who fears he intrudes, and glanced
searchingly at Quick. eff you're go
ing to serve the drinks, cap'n," he
snapped acidly, hump yourself!"
He accepted his glass with dis
passionate air and drank hastily after
a short nod to the guest, as one who
sacrifices his personal inclinations to
the laws of hospitality. But from his
after-glow of benevolence. O'Rourke
concluded that the drink had not been
unwelcome.

Quick in subdued roar.

CHAPTER XIII.

The day came out Of the East with
a windy swagger; rs Quick had fore
told a series of thunderstorms swept
the sea before dawn, so that 1t, like
the sky, seemed newly washed. clean
and brilliant.
ORourke relieved Quick at four
bells of the morning watch and kept
the deck for the remainder of the day,
his meals being brought to him CD
the bridge His duties were simple
enough, requiring little more than
disnlav of the habit Of authority
which sat so we'll on his broad shour
ders. 1t was no great trick to keep
the crew in order: they went about
their work peaceably enough and
showed no signs of desiring to renew
their disputations. Otherwise he had
TO keep an eye upon the helmsman
and see that he held the Rance to the
course prescribed by Quick; and that
was nothing difficult to man or aV-
erage intelligence. Naught but deep
water lay between them and Bombay,
so long as a direct course was SNAPPED
and maintained.
As the sunlit watches wore out and
nothing untoward took place,
O,Rourke's grim apprehensions dissi-
mated into shadows. He began to be-
lieye with Quick that the affair of the
winged knife was merely hapchance
accident. quite unprecedented
Below decks, Dravos and Danny
were standing watch-and-watch, with
cIockwork regularity, where the for
mer's beloved engines were justifying
his confidence and pride in them and
clicking off their twenty knots with
out a hitch.

Malone, to Danny's intense disruay.
O'Rourke took upon himself the du'
ties of first officer under Captain
Quick. The Irishman cared little for
the sea, knew less of a first officers
duties; but it was patent that Quick
could not stand every watch, and
O'Rourke was not to be daunted by
any such slight matter as nautical in
experience.
In the knowledge that they were
safely off at last there was poignant
relief to the wanderer, as he stood by
Quick's side, on the bridge, with mid
night imminent and the ship still and
peaceful. iii stand the night watch

Thank ye," said O'Rourke. In fact,
he had long been sensible that he was
very drowsy; the night wind In his
face had something to do with that.
Good night" he returned, and went
down the ladder to the deck.
At it's foot he paused, turning curl
ously; 1t seemed that surely there
must be some serious trouble afoot IN
the crew. The Irishman could see IN

inextricably locked. A scream rang
shrill and there followed the sound OF
a heavy fall.
Overhead, on the bridge, Quick, was
roaring himself hoarse, without effect.
The sounds of shutting, of blows,
harsh breathing, stifled cries, contin-
ued. A knot of the contestants swept,
| whirling, aft, toward the superstruct-
ure. Something shot singing through
the air; the wind of it famed

was broken, having doubtless been
