The fellow grinned-the kind OF grin
that Is composed OF equal parts Of
ferocity and knowledge Of superior
strength. That grin did more TO dis
concert Webster than the knowledge
that he had earned for himself two
blOodthlrsty and implacable enemies,
for Pucker-eye was the first Of his
breed that Webster had ever seen
smile under insult. That cool smile
Infatuated him.
Pucker-eye took out q cigarette case,
selected a cigarette and presented the
case to Webster. His bad manners In
deliberate, as Webster knew. 1t was
the Latin-American's method Of show
Ing his contempt.
"We shall meet again, Meester Web

arctic for the-what you Americans
call-the keepsake? MOI" He smiled
brightly and closed his puckered eye
In a knowing wink.
Webster took his tickets from the
purser, folded them, placed them in his
pocket and for a few seconds regarded
Pucker-eye cOntemptuously.
when we meet again, you scum"
he retorted quietly, "you shall have no
difficulty in remembering me. You
may keep your cigarette"
His long, powerful right arm shot
out like n forceps his thumb and fore
finger closed over Pucker-eye's rather
fiat nose; he squeezed, and with a
shrill scream Of agony Pucker-eye
went TO his knees.
Still holding the wretch by his
proboscis, Webster turned quickly in
order that his face might be toward
POp-eye.
"Pop-eye," he said, IF you take a
hand In this, I'll twist your nose, too,
and afterward I'll throw you in the
river"
He turned to Pucker-eye.

CHAPTER VIII.

Webster's trunk went aboard the
steamer early the following morning,
and at noon he entered q taxi with his
hand baggage and was driven to the
levee where La Estrelllta lay tugglng
gently at her moOring lines. Owing to
the congestion Of freight and traffic the
chauffeur stopped his cab a little dis

tip.
The latter, however, swung his
passengers bag and suitcase to the
ground. picked them up and started
for the %gangplank.
"Never mind my baggage, lad"
Webster called after him. "One of the
deck boys will care for It."
The chauffeur turned. you've been

ter on duty shouldered a way for him
and he darted aboard.
Webster followed leisurely. Al the
gangplank the purser's CLERK halted
him, examined his tickets and punched
them.
Where is the other man?" he asked.
You have two tickets here"
"Oh, that blamed valet Of mine,"
Webster answered, and glanced around
as II In search Of that mythical func-
%tionary. ut would be like the stupid
fellow to miss the boat" he added.
"When he comes"
Webster ceased speaking abruptly.
He was looking straight into the

Webster thought, and he faced about.

way.

clerk asked, scanning the names on the
tickets.

"All right, Mr.. Webster" the other
answered, with that genial camaraderie
that seems inseparable from all Of his
calling. "When Andrew I'll
send him aboard"
He started to pass the tickets back
to Webster, but a OBTAINING hand rest
ed on his arm, while a dark thumb and
f%orefinger lifted the trailing strips of
tickets. Pucker-eye a examining
them also.
The purser's clerk drove his elbow
backward violently into Pucker-eye's
midriff and shook him of roughly.

Pucker-eye made no reply to this
stern reproof. He accepted the elbow

with an evil smile that indicated mu-

Andrew Bowers was a man Of per.
haps thirty years. five feet ten inches
tall, and apparently In excellent health.
He might have weighed a hundred and
seventy pounds and he was ~undeniably
handsome.
While Webster was wondering
whether his companion was merely a
high-class tramp or an %absconding
bank cashier. a knock sounded on the
stateroom door. He opened 1t and the
purser stood In the entrance.
Ticket, please?" he announced.
Webster surrendered both tickets,
receiving In turn two seat checks for
the dining saloon. and the purser
passed on to the next cabin.
Andrew Bowers smiled q small, pre-
scient smile, but said nothing, and
presently John Stuart Webster broke
the silence. "Well." he ordered. "sing
