THE day sped in wonders. At nine o'clock Father led
reluctantly to my stateroom. In the corridor
met the two staid Down East merchants with whom
Father had spent the evening. They hurried to him
without ceremony. The words burst from their lips in
united irate blast.

There was something dynamic in his silken voice.

the situation dawned him he nearly wrung Fathers
hands off.
@Sir, thank you I'll do anything you ask, to show
my thanks
"Then with and my friends. Help us talk

The drover eagerly agreed. The Captain squirmed,
but veered racously to prevailing winds, and assured
Father that these particular rascals should again
find quarters aboard the Matte Lee.

Across the long table, spruce
and fine, sat three men,-the
three whom the Captain had
vowed to forbid the Matte

gambler dropped his head. A
wave Of scarlet leaped to his
temples. But the older men
burst into a great, jeering laugh.
Father pushed back his plate.
He did not look at the men
again.

Captain at the forward door.

Father looked past him. In
screened recess sat the three,
and with them three city
dandies, lordly young bloods.
They were playing high, and
laughing uproariously. Beside
them the boy gambler looked
more boyish than ever. His
face was flushed like a child's,
his dark eyes shone.
Suddenly the Captain veered
from rage to sulks. 3You are

exact a promise that I could
not keep. Although, he tackled
still farther, perhaps it is not
