serving the English gentleman his tea.
He seemed to be wigsling like . poor

Jimmy.

moment she felt as II she had eaten
too much OF something or been
poisoned,s so she hurried as fast as she
could to her cabin. It was q day or
so before she was well enough to
come on deck and her mother said
Jimmy was right. Fanny was seasick.
: 1t was mighty pleasant to be out
again on deck although she did not
feel well enough to play any deck
games. She lay back in a steamer
chair by the rail and looked at the sky
and dreamed. OF course. Jimmy came
along.
"Beeg fiy-nsh play 'longside today"
he told her as he ran past.
She saw him climb up the side Of
the ship and into one of the life boats.
He leaned away out and looked into

AMY was the littlest person on
board the ship which sailed from
port OF Japan bound for the
" good old Y. s.. but that did not
mean she was the least important. In
fact she was almost the most import
ant. Everybody else was grown-up.
and being the only child meant hav-
e all the attention that ordinarily

which was not hard work since the
little girl was a well-mannered sweet
young person--everybody that IS. ex-
Ncept one. and that was Jimmy.
On the very day they sailed away
from the port of Japan just as some
nice old ladies were talking to Fanny
and asking her name and how long
she had been in Japan and II she
were not glad to go home. Fanny
heard snort very ike the sound
/ supercilious camel might make. and
looking around her eyes fell on
jimmy. He was looking at her with
very scornful expression In his al
mond eyes and grim smile as II he
we're saying: Think you're pretty
snort. don't you?"
Fanny turned very red and Utmost
forgot what she was trying to tell the
nice old ladies.
Later she found out that the
'lmond-eyed person was cabin boy
NJ Chinese extraction and named
Jimmy
Now Fanny's mother was not a
very good traveller so when the first
storm came along she got very sea
/ sick. Fanny made fine little nurse
ard when her mother was able 10
come on deck she found time to puff
IN the cushions and run errands for
other seasick ladies ard gentlemen
who were so grateful and obliged they
Just couldn't praise the child enough
And every time Fanny would be talk
ing to somebody or being patted on
the head. Jimmy would happen afona
and give his peculiar snort and look
at her with his peculiar expression.
One day Fanny had to ask him fol
a glass Of vichy water for one OF hel
patients.
"All light" Jimmy told her. "You
get beeg tip. Ell? Stick him in the
bank all light! He-he-he!" And of
he went snorting and giggling to him
self.
When he came back Fanny was
, ready to give him good answer
what did you mean by saying ]
get tips?" she asked Indignantly.
"Beeg tips. eh?" snickered Jimmy
stick him In the bank"

was beginning TO almost hate him.
Suddenly as she leaned on the rail-
she heard Z cry. There was no one
on that part Of the deck. but as she
looked in the direction Of the cry she
caught sight Of Z man in mid-air
dropping from the side Of the ship
into the water. For second she did
not know what to do. except scream:
Help! Help" Then she remembered
the life belt nearby. which was at
taehed to long line. 1t was easy to
lift It from the hooks and although
it seemed heavy she threw It over
board as far as she could.
Some one had heard her CRY and
footsteps came hurrying to the scene.
The Captain himself took hold of the
rope and helped haul up the man who
had now seized the life belt. Other
hands eagerly helped and soon out Of
the ocean, dripping and gasping was
drawn-Jimmy!
Fanny recognized him and as she
later told her mother:
"He was most drowned and Still, he
was laughing. So now I've decided he
doesn't mean any harm when he
laughs at me. It's just his way and
guess seem queer to him. Anv
way person can't despise somebody

So later when she met Jimmy dust
ing the saloon and he held out hi.
hand and said: "He-he! Take 'em,
Chew EN-. Belly nice leetle tip." She
stopped and accepted from him five
withered lichee nuts. Then JIMMY
told her: II belly glad to save you
any day you say" And FANNY knew
that her enemy was now her friend.
