"No. I'm all right"
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
helped to the deck.
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, grin on
his swollen and disfgured face.
"Quite a pleasant welcome home" he
said ironically, his cold eyes fixed on
face that looked as II 1t might have

CHAPTER II.
The Girl From proaheda.

Gordon Elliot was too much Of q
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 we're BACKED his
lip had been cut, and there was q
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. q He's there with both right and
left. That uppercut Of hts is vicious.
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
constitutional.
Irish he guessed her when the deep
blue eyes rested on his for an instant
as she passed, and fortified his conjee- |
ture by the coloring of the clear
skinned face and the marks of the Gel
tic race delicately stamped upon II.
The purser came out of his room and

the young mans face. "Your maps

he ventured.

"Ive seen him-several of him. I've

"Oh, I'm not In his class"
Gordon Elliot meant what he said.
He was. himself an athlete, had played

picked him for the All-America team.
But after all he was product of train

was, Miss O'Neill gave an impression
Of radiant strength.
"What Is she going to do in Kusiak?"
Again the purser grinned. "What do

raced pelI-mell across the deck to her.

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.

ordered the mate sharply.
The big Cornishman who had been
tossed aside crouched for spring. He
launched himself forward with the
! awkward force of a bear. The suit
case described whirling arc of a cir
Gle with the arm of its owner as RAJ
dius. The bag and the head of the
miner came into swift impact. Like a
bullock which had been poleaxed, the
man went to the floor. He turned over
with groan and lay still,
The new passenger looked across
the huge, sprawling body at the group
of miners facing him. They glared in
savage hate. All they needed was a
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. II they

The big man shrugged his shoulders.
'It didn't start. Some of the outfit

but they baked on the job when IRE

Gordon, as he watched from little
distance, corrected earlier impressions.
This man had passed the thirties. He
had the thick neck and solid trunk Of
middle life, but he carried himself SO
superbly that his whole bearing denied
that years could touch his splendid
physique.
Strong had stepped to the wharf
to talk with an old acquaintance, but
when the boat threw out a warning
signal he made a hurried goodby and
came on board. He rejoined Elliot.
