When ] introduced Alma, she took
Martins hand and held 1t while she
sased ssarchingiy into his eyes from
under her eyebrows, as she always did
when she was being presented TO a
man; but / saw that in this instance
her glance fell with no more effect
on its object than lighted vesta on a
running stream.
After the usual banal phrases, nv
husband inquired IL Martin was STAY
ing in the house, and then asked IL he
would dine with US some day.
Certainly! Delighted! with all
the pleasure in the world" said Mar
tin.
Then said my husband with
rather frigid pollteness. you will see

meant much, you will see more OF

Don't you worry about that,
ma'am. You bet wiil," said Martin,
looking straight into Aima's eyes,
and though she laughed as she passed
into the breakfast room with my
husband, I could see that for the first
time In her life mans face had
frightened her.

were gone.
Yes; a friend Of mine who met you

Some two years ago | met a..

several theater parties in hsr

you think it best for me TO con.

Of my heart ! was wishing him to
stay. and thinking how little and
lonely / was, while here was a big
brave man who could protect me
from every danger.
We walked together to the door,
and there ] took his hand and held II,
feeling like q child that If / let go
be might be lost in the human ocean
outside and should see no more Of
him.
At last. struggling hard with a
lump that was gathering in my throat,
| said:
Martin, ! have been so happy to
see you. I've never been so happy TO
see anybody in my life. You'll let me
see you again, won't your"
Won't /? Bet your life / will,"
he said, and then, as If seeing that
my lip was trembling and my eyes
were beginning to fill, he broke into
g cheerful little burst of our native
tongue, so as to give me "helse"
as we say in ELAN and to make me
laugh at the last moment.

II had been like dream, a beau
tlful dream, and as soon as I came to
myself in the hall. with the visitors
calling at the bureau and the page
boys shouting in the corridors, I found
that my telegraph form. crumpled and
crushed, was still in the palm of my
left hand
/ tore 1t up and went in to break
fast.

will be for the worldi"
Wont it?" he said. and his eyes
sparkled like a boys.
Thus the time passed without our
being aware how it was going, and we
were back at Westminster Pier before
l bethought me that of the sad and
serious subject l had intended to
speak about had said nothing at all.
But all London seemed to have been
taking holiday that day, for as we
drove in a taxi up Parliament street
streams of vehicles full of happy peo-
pie were returning from the Derby,
including costers' donkey carts in
which the girls were carrying huge
boughs of May blossom, and the boys
were wearing the girls feathery hats,

happy.

men to go, and l went up on deck to

cabin boy and a few OF the crew, in

to speak, but I was too greedy of
every mo.nent of happiness to break
in on 1t with the story of my troubles,
so when Martin proposed TO show me
over the ship, away | went with him
to look at the theodolites and chro-
nometers and sextants, and sledges
and skis, and the aeronautic OUTFIT
and the captive balloon, and the dou-
Bile -barreled guns, and the place

Siberian dogs, and the empty cage for
the dogs themselves, which had Just
been sent up to the zoo to be taken

Last OF all, he showed me his own
cabin, which interested me more than
anything else, being such a snug little
place Though l thought l should like
to tidy II up a biD, with his medical
outfit. his books, his bed like shelf,
and one pretty photograph of his

Portable quarters.
Two hours passed in this way,
though they had flown like five min
utes, when the cabin boy came TO
say that tea was served in the ss-
loon, and then l skipped down to 1t

no sooner had l screwed myself into
the commanders chair. which was
fixed on the floor at the head of the
narrow table, and found, the tea tray
almost on my lap, than wave of
memory from our childhood came
sweeping back to me, and could
