1t was supper-time when we returned
to the Christina, and, as Mrs. Clarke had
had six hours of motionless rest to aid her
recovery, l rather expected to see Miss
Leland, at least, at table. But was dis
appointed, and so, as we steamed out of
Charleston, on the run to Tampa, into
weather that seemed sterner than the
previous lap of our journey, l gave up
hope of seeing her again-a surrender that
somehow seemed to be the final added
straw to my misery.
Only the sight of Vivandiere, that noble
albeit misunderstood and maltreated piece
of horse-fesh, frightened my despond-
ency. s
Jerry saw Miss Leland the next morn
ing. The storm had not abated, but she
sent word to him by steward that she
wished to see him. She wished to talk
about Vivandiere, and Jerry conversed
with her through the partly opened door
of Mrs. Clarke's cabin. And he told me.
that barring slight pallor. due. to her
confinement in the state-room, Miss Le-
land was quite well. .e -:

said Jerry. "All the time the young lady
was talkin' to me, Mrs. Clarke was wailin
and moanin' and prayin' hiven, and
abusin' the young lady, sayin she had no
hear-rt at all, at all, to be afther thinkin' of

more than truth. How the mare would
have acted had it not been for Jerry and
myself | do not know. Certainly the
deck-hands feared to go near her. for she
had not forgotten the blow across her
quarters, and when one of them came
near she squealed and lashed out with her
feet and acted like the equine devil she
knew how to be- But with Jerry or
mysef--she didn't even show fear of the
storm when we were near.
And the next day not even Jerry and
got out on deck. We divided our time
between the smoke-room and Vivandiere

And l noticed, with pleasure, that she
said nothing about paying him for his
services.
"A pleasure, he said again. with little
bob of his head. Then he looked at us
quizzically; think he was little offended
at being left out of our conversation so
long.

We both laughed at his little dig. A
steward passed over the deck above us,
and we heard the rattle of his supper
drum. Miss Leland's hands flew to her
hair

fix my hair. T.

ran him up the steps ahead of me.
FOR man but this day barred from the
turf and on his way to seek doubtful
fortune in a foreign land, was most un-
duly elated. But elation vanished at the
supper table. For, while the steward had
earned Jerry's bribe, Miss Leland was not
alone. With her was Mrs. Clarke, who
was evidently the girls chaperon, and at
the girls introduction of me, "NIr. Ker-
nan, the famous trainer" the lady's eye
brows elevated.
Era horse trainer?"
"Yes, said the girl.
Mrs. Clarke's manner stiffened. RI
"Ah, indeed! How extremely interest
ing"
Whereupon she gave me her shoulder
for the rest of the meal; and, as she was
between Miss Leland and myself it
was small consolation, as | strolled the
deck after supper, to assure myself that
Mrs. Clarke was not a horsewoman and
therefore did not know that training
horses is as noble profession as man may
adopt Ito my way of thinking anyway)l
Small consolation, indeed, the lady's
ignorance of such vital matters. For
she'd cut short any effort on my part to
speak to her charge. Further, on the way
from the dining-room she'd cut me, and
herded Miss Leland before her, away from
the communicating presence of a man who
worked in a stable, as she probably
thought of me- Yet second thought,
which is always wisest, came to me as l
smoked the after-supper hour away in
company of Jerry. Why should l think
about the petty Mrs. Clarke? Why should
l worry because the little friendship
that had begun between the girl and my
self should be declared false start by the
Judge of the track, Mrs. Clarke? l was
in no position to think about any girl.
Which, as every one has noticed, never
prevents man from thinking.

had warned Miss Leland grew worse

hicIe drivers on the Pacific coast did
their best to break into a railroad
crossing accident in the two years
ended June 80, 1915, despite the fact
that gates were down and warning

This is shown in a report OF the
Southern Pacific company, which re-
veals that during the period mentioned.
five hundred and twenty-five crossing
gates were broken by drivers who
risked life and limb for speed and
carelessness.
The gamble taken by the drivers Is
obvious To be broken, the gates had
to be down and the gates are down
only when trains are approaching The
railroad company spends over 100000
annually 10 operate and maintain
crossing gates but its officials feel
that the active cooperation Of motor
lists and other vehicle drivers is i'm

be minimized-
Recently the Southern Pacific had
observations taken at various cross
ings throughout California TO observe
how careful drivers were in approach

chimes before crossing the tracks to
see that no trains were approaching.
