was, Miss O'Neill gave an impression
of radiant strength.

"Can't prove it by me-" said the of

of Alaska a spinster-not that girl.
She may be going in to teach, or to run
a millinery store, or to keep books for
a trading company. She'll stay to
bring up kiddies of her own. They all
do"
Three children came up the stair
way, caught sight of Miss O'Neill, and
raced pell-mell across the deck to her.
The young woman's face was trans
formed. 1t was bubbling with tender
ness, with gay and happy laughter.
Flinging her arms wide, she waited for
them. With incoherent cries of de-
light, they flung themselves upon her.
The two oldest were girls. The
youngest was a fat, cuddly little boy
with dimples in his soft cheeks.
Il dwessed myself, Aunt Sheba.

Sheba stopped and held him off to
admire. "All By yourself-just think

"And tied his Shoes" added Gwen

Gwendolen snuggled close to Miss
O'Neill. "You always smell so sweet
and clean and violety. Aunt Sheba,"
she whispered in confidence.
You're spelling me, Gwen" laughed
the young woman. you've kissed the
barney stone. It's good thing you're

Miss Gwen had one more confidence
to make in the ear Of her friend. 81

mamma" she begged.
A shell-pink tinge crept into the
milky skin of the Irish girl. She was
less sure of herself, more easily en-
barrassed, than the average American
of her age and sex.
Are your things gathered ready for

The young man turned his eyes
again upon the big Canadian Scots
man. He was talking with Mrs. NAL
Tory, who was leaning back luxuri-
ouSly N a steamer chair she had
brought aboard at st. Michaers. 1t
would have been hard to conceive a
contrast greater than the one between
this pampered heireSs of the ages and

looked down into her mocking eyes.

miner came into swift impact. Like a
bullock which had been poleaxed, the
man went to the floor. He turned over
with a groan and lay still.
The new passenger looked across
the huge, sprawllng body at the group
of miners facing him. They glared in
savage hate. All they needed was q
leader to send them driving at him
with the force of an avalanche. The
man at whom they ragged did not give
an inch. He leaned forward slightly,
his weight resting on the balls of his
feet, alert to the finger tips.
'Next," he tainted.
Then the mate got busy. He hustled
his stevedoreS forward in front of the
miners and shook his fist in their faces
as he stormed up and down. If they

The man with the suitcase did not

dropped his baggage beside the berth,

CHAPTER II.
The Girl From Droqheda.

Gordon Elliot was too much of a
night owl to be an early riser, but next
morning he was awakened by the
tramp of hurried feet along the deck
to the accompaniment of bruSque or
ders, together with frequent angry
putting and snOrting of the boat.
From the culver of the walls he
guessed that the Hannah was stuck on
a sandbar. The mates language gave
backing to his surmise.
Elliot tried to settle back to sleep,
but after two or three Intellectual eff
forts gave it up. He rose and did one
or two Setting-up exercises to timber
his joints. The first of these flashed
the signal to his brain that he was stiff
and sore. This brought to mind the
fight on the hurricane deck, and he
smiled. 1t hurt every time he twiched
a muscle.
The young man stepped to the look
ing glass. Both eyes were BACKED, his
lip had been cut, and there was a
purple veal well UP on his left cheek.
He stopped himself from grinning only
just in time to save another twinge OF
pain.
"Some party while it lasted. I never
saw more willing mixers. Everybody
seemed anxious to sit in except Mr..
Wally Selfridge," he explained to his
reflection. "But Macdonald is the
class. He's there with both right and
IL Ha% Of HI &c, vfafny
Don't ever get in the way of it, Cor
don Elliot"
He bathed, dressed and went on
deck.
Early though he was, one passen-
ger at least was up before him. The
young woman he had noticed last eve
ming with the magazine was doing a
constitutional.
Irish he guessed her when the deep
blue eyes rested on his for an instant
as she passed, and fortified his conjec-
ture by the coloring of the clear
skinned face and the marks of the Gel
tic race delicately stamped upon it.
The purser came out of his room and
joined Elliot. He smiled at sight of
the young mans face. "YOur maps
a little out of plumb this morning, sir"
he ventured.
''But you ought TO see the other fell
low" came back Gordon boyishly.
"Pve seen him-several of him. I've
got to give it TO you and Mr.. Macdon-
aid. You know how to hit"
"Oh, I'm not in bis class"
Gordon Elliot meant what he said.
He was himself an athlete, had played
for three years left tackle on his col
lege eleven. More than one critic had
picked him for the All-America team.
But after all he was product of train
ing and of the gymnasiums. Macdon-
aid was what nature and a long line
of fighting Highland ancestors had
made him.
The purser chuckled. "He's q good

Elliot was again following with his
