caught hold of the edge Of the boat
The other clutched the rescued man

"Am I?' Macdonald glanced with

The Scotsman pushed himself back
from the boat and fell into an easy
stroke. Nevertheless, there was power
in 1t, for he reached the Hannah be-
fore the rescued miner had been

A dozen passengers, crowded on the
lower deck, pushed forward eagerly
to see. Among them was Selfridge, his
shirt and collar torn loose at the
neck and his immaculate checked suit
dusty and disheveled. He was wearing
pair Of up to date Oxford pumps.
Macdonald shook himself like New
foundland dog. He looked around
with sardonic amusement, a grin on
his swollen and disfgured face.
"Quite pleasant welcome home" he
said ironically, his cold eyes fixed on
a face that looked as if it might have
been kicked by healthy mule. "Eh,
Trelawney?"
The Cornishman glared at him, and
turned away with a low, savage oath.

CHAPTER II.
The Girl From DrooSeda.

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 1t 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
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 1t lasted. 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
left. That uppercut Of his is vicious.
Don't ever get in the way of 1t, 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 dclicately stamped upon 1t.
The purser came out of his room and
joined Elliot. He smiled at sight of
the young mans face. "Your maps
little out of plumb this morning, sir"
he ventured.
"But you ought to see the other fell
low" came back Gordon boyishly.
ave seen him-several of him. I've
got to give it to you and MIR. Macdon-
aid. You know how to hit"
"Oh, I'm not In his 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 a product Of train
ing and of the gymnasiums. Macdon-
aid was what nature and long line
Of fighting Highland ancestors had
made him.
The purser chuckied "He's good
un, Mae is. They say he liked to have

Their. Mac used his brains. Guess what

"The usual thing, l suppose"

in among his socks and underwear was
about twenty pounds of ore SAMPLES.
The purser told me. II was that Quartz
that put Trelawney to sleep sd thor
ough that he'd just begun to wake up
when | passed minute ago."
The young man turned his eyes
again upon the big Canadian Scots
man. He was talking with Mrs. NAL
Tory, who was leaning back iuxuri-
ously In steamer chair she had
brought aboard at st. Michael'y. It
would have been hard to conceive
contrast greater than the one between
this pampered heiress of the ages and
the modern business berserk who
looked down into her mockina ewes.
He was the embodiment of the dorai-
nant male efficient to the last inch of
his straight six feet. What he Wanted
