 We have had enough Of this, lads," said sternly, staring straight down into their faces. 'I don't know who among you are doing all of this talk ing, but I'll answer you this; am cap tain of the Indian Chief, and if any of you want to try out whether I can handle my crew or not, so to it. Bosun, come here."
 The man named separated himself from the others, and slowly climbed the ladder. He was q big, muscular fellow, with red hair, clipped close to his head, and intelligent blue eyes.

 Aye, aye, sir"
 "This is your first voyage on the Indian Chief2"
 "No, sir; my third"
 "Very good, Mir. Leayord from now on you will mess aft, and rank as first mate, serving watch and watch with me. Is there a man forward capable of filling the second mates berth?
 He ran his eyes over the group be- low rather doubtfully.
 "Olson might, sir" he answered finally. "He is sober, and good sea- man."
 "Step forward, Olson."
 The mass of men parted slightly, and man was pushed to the front. He possessed strongly marked Swedish face, smooth shaven and almost boyish.
 "How old are you, OlsonT
 'Twenty-eight, sir"
 'You know the seaY'
 Twelve years in the fo'castle, sir"
 'All right; I'm going to give you chance to make good as second officer, MT. Olson. Now, lads, that's all for the present. 1 take 1t you are sailor men, and know what that sky means. The chances are ten to one we'll have storm before midnight, and we'll meet it better with clear decks. Get forward, all hands, and clear away that riffie-liyely now"
 They were bit slow about 1t, grum- bling among themselves. Olson spoke once or twice, although l could not hear exactly what was said, and the power of sea discipline finally con quered. Within ten minutes they were working cheerfully enough, and Lea yord had ceased his gruff ordering, and stood silent beside the lee rail. It pleased me to observe that Olson took hold along with the others, and did his full share of the work. leaned far ther over to gain view of the cabin en- trance, but Bascom had disappeared.

She called me to her table that evening, where she was dining alone, to question me re- garding some mutual friends in Phila- deiphia. Our brief conversation was most commonplace.

The girl was l shipped off to Europe; waiter swore that drew a revolver. which he after wards picked up on the floor; the pc lice exonerated McCann on the ground of self-defense, and the case never came to trial"
 I held out my hand,
 Having had some experience lately with McCann," I said heartily, q am perfectly ready to accept your version, His being on board is awkward and unpleasant, but we must put up with it as best we can. Is this your thought 1 Mir. Bascom?"
 He did not answer at once; not until she looked up questioningly. 1 "There is nothing else possible" he said at last but as though the admis- sion hurt.
