GUS wealthy young bachelor, who. at

them aboard. Brill was on his way
uptown with Aristides Stebbins, his
valet, known as Jay. when he saw the
girl, just after purchasing a valuable
bracelet as Il gift for a Miss Carstairs.
The passenger list reveals the names
of the pursued as Mr.. Andrew Jenni-
son and daughter. Brill finds himself
without money and negotiates with a
dark individual named Benedict for
the sale of the bracelet, receiving $500
for it. with which he secures a de luxe
cabin. At dinner the conversation turns
to the weather, and a Professor Penny
thorpe's storm prediction is placed be-
fore Captain HUMPHREYS for Judgment.
Brill makes the acquaintance of Mr..
JeEnison, and the two proceed to the
captains cabin to inspect a phenom-
email, wonderfully trained canary. At
luncheon a .jovia! person, Christopher
G. Marsh, introduces himself to Brill,
Starting from a sound sleep, Brill hears
through his window Benedict. the pro
fessor and Jennison discussing the
large shipment of gold aboard. Soon
after this he is rewarded by a smile
from Marion Jennison for a small
courtesy. Marsh Is Informed that he

was more feryor in his heart than in
his words.
After Marsh had departed to get "a
drink of air. as he expressed it and or
which he declared himself very much
in need, Brill again enlisted Stebbins'
services as Il valet, principally because
he believed his own judgment might
be untrustworthy under the circum-
stances.
To tell the truth, the condition of
his one suit of clothes gave him abnor-
NAL concern. He, Mr.. Overton Brill,
had now worn this especial outfit for
four days without change, when n
had been an unusual limit in the old
life. He ruefulIy looked. at himself in
