lid not spend his time dawdling around
clubs and drawing rooms. He owned q
splendid yacht. the Theta, big enough
to sail anywhere in any waters. and in
this yacht he made his home. He con-
tributed quite a number of inventions
to assist scientists In making deep sea
soundings and investigating ocean cur
rents and at the time referred to In this
story was endeavoring to simplify sea
signals.
Abercrombie sailed to the Philippines
among other places, where he was well
coined by the United States officials,
especially the officers Of the army.
Among the families of the officers he
met Miss Leila Turnlee, the daughter
Of Colonel Turnlee, commander of the

stood his devices readily.
Now, the way Abercrombie knew that
Miss Turnlee understood his contriv-
ances was because she always said
"Yes" and Indeed and How clever
exactly at the right time, and when he
asked, "Do you follow ~ she always
replied, Perfectly"
Mrs. Turnlee was much pleased that
her daughter had mind capable of re-
ceiving the explanations of Abercrom-
bie's inventions by Abercrombie him
self-nOt that she cared anything for
the inventions, but she hoped her
daughters vigor Of intellect would lead
Abercrombie to become interested. and
possibly that a fine catch would fall to
the family. The good lady had drag
ged half a dozen children over many
territories In the western portion Of
America during her younger days and
had known what It was to get settled
In quarters to be Immediately ordered
to some other station or turned out by
a ranking officer. Abercrombie's yacht
was preferable to an adobe hut or log
apartment even when fixed. In other
words, Mrs. Turnlee desired that her
daughter should marry elsewhere than
In the army.
