Whats that to me? Go away, all Of you, to the devil, for all I care. I'll get up when I get damn good and ready. Not before"
 Warrington picked up the hose.
 "Sahib!" cried the Lascar in pro- test.
 Be still" ordered Warrington. Craig, for the last time, will you get up?
 "No!"
 Warrington turned the key, and a deluge of cold water struck Craig full in the chest. He tried to sit up, over on the deck, choking and sput- tering. He crawled on his hands and knees until he reached the chair-rail, which he clutched desperately, draw ing himself up. The pitiless stream never swerved. It smacked against the flat of his back like the impact of hand.
 For Gods sake stop it!" cried Craig, half strangled.
 'Will you go below?"
 Yes, yes! Turn 1t away!" sober enough by now.
 Warrington switched off the key, his face humorless, though there was sparkle of grim humor in his sleep hungry eyes. Craig leaned against the deckhouse, shaking and panting.
 T would I could get at your soul as easily" Warrington threw aside the hose, and the Lascars sprang upon it, not knowing what the big blond sahib might do next
 Craig turned, venom on his tongue. He spoke a phrase In an instant, cold with fury; Warrington had him by the throat
 You low base curl" he said, shak- ing the man until he resembled a man. ikin on wires. Had you been sober last night, I'd have thrown you into the sea Honorless dog! You wrote to Miss Chetwood. You insulted her, too. If you wish to die, speak to her again.
 Craig struggled fiercely to free him self. He wasn't sure, by the look of the other mans eyes, that he wasn't going to be killed then and there. There was something cave-mannish and cruel in the way Warrington wor- ried the man, shaking him from side to side and forcing him along the deck. Suddenly he released his hold, adding buffet on the side of the head that sent Craig ree1ing and sobbing into the companionway.
 Here, I say, what's the row."
 Warrington looked over his shoul- der. The call had come from the first officer.
 "A case of drunkenness" coolly.
 ''But I say, we can't have brawling on deck, sir. You ought to know that.

CHAPTER x.
The Cut Direct.

 It was after five in the morning when the deckhands tried to get Craig to go down to his room. With the dull obstinacy of a drunken man, he refused to stir; he was perfectly sat. 1sfed to stay where he was. The three brown men stood irresolutely and help flessly around the man. Everyone had zone below. The hose was ready to flush the deck. It did not matter; he, Craig, would not budge. Leave me alone, you black beg lgars!"
 'But, sahib," began one of the Las cars. who spoke English.
 Don't talk to me. I tell you, get lout!" striking at their feet with his swollen hands.
 Warrington, who had not lain down at all, but who had wandered about the free decks like some lost soul from the Flying Dutchman, Warrington, hearing voices, came out of the smoke room. A glance was sufficient A devils humor took possession of him. He walked over.
 Get up," he said quietly. Craig blinked up at him from out of puffed eyes. Co to the devill Fine specimen to order me about"
 "Will you get up peacefully? These men have work to do." Craig was blind to his danger.

 "Ah! But it never pays to manhan- dle that particular brand of tippler. | They always retaliate in some way" T suppose he has given you an ex- cerpt from my history?" ''He says you cannot return to the States"
 'I am returning on the very first boats I can find"
 Then he was lying?"
 Mot entirely. do not know what he has told you, and I really do not care. The fact is, Craig is a profes- sional gambler, and I warned him not to try any of his tricks on board. It | soured him." And knowing myself that he was a professional, gave no weight to his accusations. Besides, it is none of my business. The worst scoundrel un- hung has certain rights on my ship. If he behaves himself, that is sufficient for me. Now, what Craig told me doesn't matter; but 1t matters that I warned him. A word to anyone else, and I'll drop him at Penang tomorrow, to get out the best way he can. Ships passing there this time of year are generally fuIl-up. Will you have a peg?"
 '.No, thanks. But wish to say that 1t is very decent of you" Warning. ton rose.
 "I have travelled too long not to recognize a man when I see him. Drop in any night after ten, if you care to-"
 T shall be glad to accept your hos pitality."
 Outside, Warrington sought Elsa, and as they promenaded, lightly re- counted the episode of the morning.
 Elsa expressed her delight in laugh ter that was less hearty than mali cious. How clearly she could see the picture! And then, the overcoming comparisons: Arthur would have gone by, Arthur would not have bothered himself, for he detested scenes and fisticuffs. How few real men she had met, men who walked through life naturally, unfettered by those self-ap- piled manacles called What will peo- pie say?"
 Let us go up to the bow" she in- vited. T myself have little story to tell"
 A school of porpoise were frolick- ing under the cutwater. Plop! plop! they went. Finally all save one sank gracefully out of sight. The laggard crisscrossed the cutwater a dozen times, just to show the watchers how extremely clever he was: and then.

with a p,op: mat was louder than any previous one, he vanished into the deeps.
 '1 love these oriental seas," said Elsa, with het arms on the rail and her chin resting upon them. She wore no hat, and her hair shimmered in the sun and shivered in the wind.
 And yet they are the most treacher- ous of all seas. There's not cloud in sight; in two hours from now we may be in the heart of winter storm"
 T am grateful for that Mercy! Think of being shipwrecked on des- ert island with the colonel and his three spinsters! Proprieties, from morning until night. And the chatter ing tourists! Heaven forbid!"
 "You had story to tell me- he sug- gested. His heart was hot within him. He wanted to sweep her up in his arms and hold her there forever. But the barrier of wasted opportunities stood between.
 "Oh, yes; had almost forgotten" She stood up and felt for wandering strands of hair. T find the world more amusing day by day. I ought to feel hurt, but I am only amused. spoke to the colonel this morning, merely to say howdy-do. He stared me in the eye and deliberately turned his back to me-"
 "The doddering old"
 There, there! It isn't worth getting angry about"
 But, don't you understand? It's all because of me. Simply because you have been kind to a poor devil, they start in to snub you, you! I'll go back to my old seat at the table. You mustn't walk with me any more."

 So her name was Elsa? He re- peated it over and over in his mind.
 She continued her exposition. There are but few, gently born. They are generous and broadminded. They could not be mine own people otherwise. They are all I care about. I shun mediocrity as I would the plague. I refuse to permit it to touch me, either with words or with deeds. The good opinion of those I love is dear to me; as for the rest of the world!" She snapped her fingers to illustrate how little she cared.

If the mans conduct was out of order, you should have brought your com plaint before the captain or me. We really can't have any rowing, sir"
 Warrington replied gravely: "Ex- pediency was quite necessary" Whats this," The officer espied the soaked bedding. "Who turned tn. hose here%
 T did," answered Warrington.
 T shall have to report that to the captain, sir. It's against the rules aboard this steamship for passengers to touch anything of that sort" The officer turned and began violently to abuse the bewildered Lascars.
 Warrington entered the companion way; and moment later he heard the water hiss along the deck. He was not in the least sorry for what he had done; still, he regretted the act. Craig was a beast, and there was no know ing what he might do or say. Still dressed, he flung himself in his bunk, and immediately fell into heavy dreamless sleep that endured until luncheon.
 Shortly after luncheon he was sum- moned to the captains cabin. War rington presented himself, mildly cu- rious. The captain nodded to a stool.
 Sit down, MT. Warrington. Will you have a cheroot?"
 Yes, thanks"
 A crackle of matches followed.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR
ToDAY'S GAM { ON
EBBETS FIELD, BROOK,

Arrangements for the third game of
the world series between the Red Sox
and Dodgers, and the first Of the con-
| tests to be played at Ebbets Field, are
nearing completion and from the pres
ent indications the teams will play to
capacity crowds.
| There has been an unprecedented de-
| mand for tickets for the big series, de-
spite the early protests at the increase
on the price of seats. So popular was
| the victory of the Dodgers that the
fans" apparently have forgotten their
grievances and the demand for tickets
has been so great that a large force of
clerks has been kept busy day and
night filing the orders.
Traffic arrangements are being made
by the officials OF the Brooklyn club,
panies. the intention being to give the
fans better transportation facilities
to and from the field during the big
series. ,
Arrangements are being made to ac-
commodate about $50 newspaper corre-
spondents and an army Of photograph
ers. Additional seats for newspaper
the press box, on the upper tier of the
grand stand.
When the box Offices at Ebbets Field
We're opened Saturday there were only
three hundred SO tickets and about fif-
teen hundred s. tickets left.
The new champions Of the National
League are marking time until the
hour for the opening of the series, but
they held light practice at Ebbets Field
yesterday and this morning. They will
leave for Boston at one o'clock this az
ternoon and make their headquarters
at tie Brunswick Hotel.
There has been the greatest demand
fer newspaper representation in the
history of the game, according to the
report Of the committee in charge OF
press arrangements. Many of the press
applications came from Canada, Cuba
and Panama Inquiries regarding the
game were received from as far away
as Europe. several coming from the
battle front in Northern France, it
was said.
"Jack" Coombs, star Of distant days
and ROW one Of the greatest comebacks
in baseball. gets full credit for his part
in the winning of the championship.
According to Wilbert Robinson the
Colby Carb!ne" has been invaluable.
Iron hearted as Of old, Coombs is al
ways at his best in a tight situation,
and il is for this reason Robinson in
tends to pitch him in at least one Of
the games. Coombs is at top form
right now. as his showing in the first
game against the lamented Giants in

Seating Capacity
of Field not Taxed

One of the great surprises of the
opening contest was that the seating
capacity Of Braves Field was not taxed
to it's utter limit Saturday as was GER
tainly looked for. That seats were at
a premium was the one item assured
before the game opened. Yet SO many
applicants for reserved seats failed to
collect their pasteboards that there was
sale Of "left-overs" at box office
which started an hour before the game
started and continued for some time
after that period had passed. Even
with this. there were TO be noted more
than a scattering few vacant seats in
the grand stand, while the third base
bleachers had a strip Of untitled seats
all along the side farthest away from
the grandstand.

The Red Sox went out in order.
Hooper sent line drive to Myers, who
after a sharp sprint, caught the ball
off the toes of his shoes, turned a
somersault and came up with the ball
in his hand. 1t was the feature play of
the outfield for the game, and was ap
plauded by Brooklyn and Boston fans
alike. Janvrin also flied to Myers. and

Ruth flied to Johnston, his only chance
Of the long game.
| Seventh Inning
! 1t was one, two, three for the Rob-
inson men in the seventh. Myers and
Wheat were thrown out by Janvrin and
Cutshaw sent up a fly to Hobiitzell.
Brooklyn made a protest against Quig-
ley's decision on Myers at first and the
Brooklyn supporters yelled their dis
approval

balls in the Red Sox turn at bat and
advanced to second on Lewis sacri-
| flee, Smith to Daubert. Gardner flied
to Olson and Scott grounded to Now
rey, who touched Hoblitzell out as

Eighth Inning
Brooklyns half of the eighth was
full of action. Mowrey opened with a
clean single to left field and went to
second on Olson's sacrifice, Thomas to
Hoblitzell. Miller singled over second
and Mowrey went to third. He started
to dash for home, but thought better
of it and returned to third base as
Walker threw to the plate. Miller TAX

Johnston brought dismay to the Brook
Ign supporters by ending the inning
with a weak grounder to Ruth, who
tossed him out. 1t was tight place for
Boston and there was much cheering
by the home fans when the inning was
ended.
Ninth Inning
. The National League champions
could do little with Ruths pitching in
the ninth, desperate as was the situa-
ton. Daubert was thrown out by Card

Boston made a great effort to win
in the ninth. Janvrn hoisted a Texas
Lacquer that rolled over the left field

went to bat in the pinch for Walker.
He hunted to Smith. who threw to third

Janvrin's Showing
Some Revelation

To those fans from outside Of Bos-
ton, who had rever seen Janvrin on
his second base task before Saturday.
his showing in his first full game of a
worlds series was revelation. Bril-
liancy Of execution in handling drives
and getting the ball away from him
aroused much enthusiasm among
shrewd followers of the series. Besides
that his share in the attack measured
up to his defensive work. his double in
the seventh and single in the ninth be-
ing of heavy account. Both hits were
of value in the production of runs, the
single in the eighth inning sending
Hooper to third on a pretty hit and
run play.
