He fell silent a moment, then
shrugged his shoulders resignedly.
"But / grow too serious" he
continued. Perhaps, some day,
Poland will be freed, Alsace-Lor-

a dry smile, land the people of

thought perhaps they had some
work to do, and 50 had not come
on deck"
"They may be there now," said
Chevrial, and led the way to the
end of the boat deck,
where, leaning against the rail,
they could look down upon the
promenade below.
Every one was on deck, walk
ing up and down, revelling in the
fresh air, with its tang of salt, and
IN the soft sunshine; but, though
Dan and Chevrial stood for some
time looking down, neither Miss
Yard nor her father passed. Then
ClleYIial, whose attention had
wandered, uttered a little excla-
nation, and caught Dan by the
arm.
See therc!" he said.
He was pointing forward to the
first class promenade, which was
also crowded, and Dan following
the direction of his gesture, saw,
amid the crowd, a white haired
man and dark haired girl walking
side by side, deep in talk. He
looked again, scarcely able to be-
lieve his eyes; but there was no
installing them-they we're Miss
Yard and her father.
He drew a deep breath Of won
der and perplexity. How came
they among the first class passen-

ly been to see the purser, and were
now on their way back. No; they
had passed the gang way. In an
other moment, they turned back
along the other side Of the prom,
enade and were lost to sight.
Only then did Dan look up. Hi
found Cheyrial smiling sardonic
ally.

asked.
Cleyrial pursed his lips.
