Curt wondered, for the hundredth time,
why the old Norseman had ever mated
with the henna-headed harridan to
whom he had bequeathed by will and
assignment all of his possessions. Chase
believed he could trace the beginning of
his friends ENHANCEMENT with the board
ing-house mistress to the time when Storm
had suddenly discovered Herbert Spencer
and become obsessed by the "infnitude
of space
HIS name, repeated twice in half whis-
per, was what lifted Curtis head.
Ragna Storm was standing beside the
cabin table, holding the cross-staf and
the quadrant pressed to her young bosom.
A food of midday sunshine, pouring
through the skylight upon her, turned the
thick plaits of her golden name into
vivid crown of gold, and exhibited in all
its glory the litheness of her youthful
body; and with shock Curt Chase real
lied that this was no longer the little girl
he had first met when he had joined the
Pleiades six years before.
"These, Curt. belonged to my fathers
people," said Ragna. 4This quadrant
was my great-grandfather's. They are
not junk. Will you not keep them for me
until-until-'
"No more. Ragna. understand. l
meant to-"
Curt paused. Laying the cross-staff
and the quadrant on the table. he took
both of the girls hands in his.
"Ragna, he said. Il don't like to think
of your going to live with that-with your
stepmother. have nearly two thousand
dollars saved You take it and go to a
business college. 1t will make you indie

from her dead husbands room and threw
on the Pleiddes' cabin table an armful of
Jon Storms treasures-an ancient chart,
cross-staff, and an ebony quadrant.
Curt Chase, the Pleiades' chief mate,
Strengthening from where he bent over a
packing-case, started to speak, and then,
with an effort that whitened the bronze of
his strong young face, held his peace.
Ragna Storm, coming aft from the for
ward cabin, stopped short, her blue eyes
fixed balefully on her stepmother.
"Just junk! Wouldn't give any of it
house room, Mrs. Storm went on, a sneer
wrinkling her thin nose.
@But Cap'n Storm loved all these things,

@Maybe he did, my boy; but it's his

you're master of the Pleiades, if you
can keep her from being blown out Of the
water until this strike is over"
Laysan said many other things to this
youngest captain in his employ; but
what he wished to say most he had given
his word to Ragna Storm never to repeat
Two days before, Jon Storms daughter,
with the unmistakable light of love in her
eyes, had asked that the Pleiades' chief
mate be made her fathers successor.
al think Ragna Storm is going to be
pleased over your promotion, Captain
Chase Layson concluded impersonally.
@Yes," answered Curt. @Tm going
straight from here to tell her.
AS straight as his speech, Curt Chase
went to Mrs. Storms clearinghouse. A
slattern opened the door for him, and as
he entered two VOICES raised bibulously
in song, burst from the open transom of
a room at the end Of the hall. One was
mans, the other Mrs. Storms.
u AGNA, dressed for the street and de-
scending the stairs at that moment
from the floor overhead, found Curt,
whitefaced and tense, staring down the
hallway.
a have come to take you away from
this place, Ragna," he said in tone Of
finality. Then, noting the wilderness Of
her face, he asked fiercely: @Has anybody
attempted to hurt your
mo, Curt; but"
A shrek of laughter from Mrs. Storm
ended the song.
"Who is in there with that woman,
Ragna?" Chase asked.
The girl shuddered.

room and went to bed.
Taking her hand, Curt Chase opened
the street door. and he and Ragna Storm
passed out into the sunshine.
