event of the day, which was followed
by a program of sports, ball game
and races. The hot afternoon soof
convinced all that the proper place to
picnic was in Kampeska,s cool wa

old and young donned suits and made
the plunge. Later an excursion was
made around the lake aboard the
Stella Mae.

In the afternoon the Episcopal

TT was chill for September; there was
almost-a threat of winter somewhere
in the air. A pinching wind blew off the
painty-gray water, making dry spots on
the pavements. The sun had gone in.

the elevated railway, looked like a steel

They hint lie who say, "If youth but
knew 1t does, sometimes above all,
though this is strange, on days like the
late September day that saw me drawn
to the place where the ships went down
to sea. Spring, for youth, is a time of
dreaming and langucr. The white March
days, that send the man of full years look
ing for his cabin trunk and his pamphlet
of steamer sailings, more likely draw the
lad of twenty to those quiet hooks near
railway bridges far out in the country,
where one may dream, and feel the new
spring sun flow over his face, like the gold
hair of the girl he is dreaming about.
But the earliest bite of autumn in the
ATTITUDES of England, fills a man in the
pride of youth with a glory that seems to
have no root or reason in any external cir
cumstance. Because the wind has turned
cold, and the roads are growing heavy
because dead leaves blow up beneath an
iron sky-you are glad. You want to run
and sing. You feel the round gold coin of
youth held tight within your hand, and
know that there is nothing in the world it
may not buy. Youth knows!
A T all events, Paul Corbet, aged twenty
two, run away from his work to see
the ships go out, knew, that day.
My head was humming with Vincent
Gore all the way to the landing-stage.
A famous traveller, whose life had been a
tissue of the widest adventures, who had
added more than one bit of red to the map
of the British Colonies, who was some
thing of a mystery, something of terror,
for he did not write about his doings,
and it was said that every one who
knew him was more or less afraid of him,
this man was to be passenger on the
Empress of Singapore to-day, going out to
"parts unknown, via Singapore.
All at once new thought came-a
thought that exploded in my brain with
the force of a bursting shell. Tonight l
would go too!

L n father came through the swing
door. He had some samples of yarn in
his hand.
"You must hurry and catch the two
thirteen to Lime Street, he said, speaking
to me through the crash and yell of the
looms, with his gray beard close to my
ear. "Come outside"
We crossed the sheds and stood in an
asphalted courtyard where it was COM
paratively easy to speak.
81 can't spare Henry or James," said
my father, twisting his beard with one
hand. "In general you are disappoint-
ment to me, Paul, but | will allow you

best. Go and look up Griffens', and tell
young Snaith himself that those seventies
are not up to the last. Show him the diff
ference. 1t takes some showing, but you
can manage it; anyhow, you have to.
Take these hundred and forties as well,
and tell him the other is from Fletchers'.
Make him see the value they are Offering

best. You have brains enough and to
spare for nonsense of your own. Have
you your railway fare?'

empty pockets. My father watched me
with a disappearing eye.
"As usual" was his comment. at is

one-and-sixpence, including trans. I'll
debit it against your allowance. Make
haste and catch your train
l nodded, put the money and samples
into my pocket, and crossed the yard to
the outer door.
My father stood in the middle of the
asphalt, his long beard blowing in the
September wind,-it was gray Liverpool
day, and like to rain,-and as | went
out heard him call:
"Don't go and lose those yarns"
They were the last words he ever said
to his troublesome youngest son. If had
known that the iron gate of the Corbet
burying-ground was already turning on
its hinges to let him in But, when l
knew, the world lay between.
WHEN l got to Griffens', found that
w Griffen Seniors wife had died the
night before, and the Office was closed. l
rolled up the yarn samples small and put
them in an inner pocket, till they should
be wanted again. l have them still-my
fathers fear that l should lose them was
quite unjustified.
OF course, the right thing to do was to
take the train straight back to our works
and 60 on with my accounts. | did not
do it. looked at the Exchange clock,
found it was not yet three, and walked
A. n O. "HND
Street. The under manager was a friend
of mine; l could always rely on him for a
seeing-off ticket when l wanted one.

my father and my step-brothers were even
now looking out for me to come back to
the works with my samples; and my
aunt, who kept house for us all, no doubt
was planning out the dinner at Laurel
holme with perfect confidence in the as
sumption that four men were to be fed at
that table, now and forevermore. Yet,
| knew that should do it. l was not too
young to have experienced some of those
rare moments in the history of the mind
when thought and desire, fused together
by the heat Of some outward shock, flash
suddenly into driving force that nothing
can resist.
So went up the gangway Of the En-
press Of Singapore, knowing that the
gates of the world were opening for me-
at last.
The alleyways were full of blue-coated
stewards carrying cabin luggage; passen-
gers and passengers friends jostled one
another against the enameled bulkheads.
Madame Carita swept by in velvet and
ermine, with train of two maids and
secretary. She was abusing the purser,
in voluble Glasgow, for having given her
the second-best state cabin.
TT was all familiar to me, the whole scene
of departure-the gliding and look
ing-glassing and marbling and birds'-eye-
MAPPING and brocading of the ships deco
rations; the typical ocean-going steamer
smell of mattresses, apples, rubber car
peting, and paint. l had never been on
the Empress Of Singapore before, but
have an eye for ship geography, and
found my way without any hesitation to
the first state cabin, which. somehow
guessed, would be the property of the man
for whom l was looking.
found the cabin,-a double one, well
amidships on the promenade deck
knocked at the shut door, and was an
swered in voice that left no doubt what
ever in my mind that had guessed right.
1t was like the bark of mastiff.
"Can't see any one!' it said.
opened the door and walked in.
Its occupant swung round in ships
chair that was fitted to handsome
writing-table, and asked me what the
deuce | meant by coming there?
"To speak to you,' said. did not
feel half so put out as l had often felt in
my fathers works when James or Henry
were rating me about something hadn't
done.
"And is the youth Of Liverpool, said
the barking voice, $50 wrapped in fog
that it is incapable Of seeing when man
is busy?'
stood against the doorway with my
arms folded. He did not frighten me
bit; | felt nv spirits rise. For this ViC-
cent Gore, with his big, thin frame, his
Cecil Rhodes type of face, and his hard
blue eyes with cat-pupils in them, was
undoubtedly formidable.
"You look as if you wanted a secretary"
l said. Il should like to offer myself.
