 Drake groaned silently. He want ed to take square look at the owner of that voice. It was a rich, liquid, happy voice. It sent 6 queer ripple along his throat. But he dared not take his arms from his face. He knew, by the next voice, that they had passed on.
 "All the men are aboard but one, Captain Manning" This was Stevens speaking. "I'll have a man in half an hour. The crimp tried to send me putty dude" The fellow laugh ed discordantly. Evidently playing to the girl, thought Drake. If you saw it, Miss Mary, you'd want it for a dolly, but you'd have to wash 1t first"
 Are you speaking about man?" came the girls voice, cool and un- appreciative. Drake never could de- eide, even years later, whether the girl meant that to be frosty, or was having fun with Stevens too deep for his understanding. Now they were coming past the door again.
 Tried to dump the dude onto me, sir. hammered him we'll" "Who, the dude?" queried the girl. sharply.
 Hush, child! Let Mister Stevens get through. Times short. "cut in Captain Manning.
 "The crimp," said Stevens. 'I would feel like a child beater If l hit that double left handed thing in silk striped pants that"
 "Yes, yes," said the captain i'm patiently. Never mind the dude. You get your ship warped out to the pierhead whether you have a full complement or not. You'll lose the rest if you don't" The trio were right at the door. Drake simply had to peep. T have done all that's needed in change of masters. You'll take the Orontes out to Batavia. Take good care of Mary, and see her safely to her brothers place. I'll get the business that's keeping me ashore all settled by the time you get back. Then we'll talk about what's to be done"
 Drake's first peep showed him the thick gray bearded. copper-bronzed old gentleman of nautical aspect whose fat chaise horses he had startled with his changing gate. His next was more than peep, for he i raised his head, and loCt ed straight into the wide blue eyes of the girl who had handled those frightened horses. He shuddered. He wanted. as he had wanted no other thing in life, to show that clean, self-possessed young lady that he belonged to a clean race. too. He wanted to tell her some thing. He could still hear her voice He could hear the deep rumbline tones of her father, if Captain Man ming were her parent; hear too the blatant, confident roar of Stevens He hated Stevens more than ever Stevens apparently was to sail mas ter of the Orontes clipper; with Marry Manning as passenger. Stew ems, a brute, a manhandler who set himself up a judge of mans value as q man.
 He says I'm not even worth shanghaiing! Caesar! I'd like to argue that with him!"
 But how? Drake took steps to peep outside again. If he could just catch Mister Stevens alone for a moment, with that girl out of the way, he would see. The big blond beast might batter a clumsy cus- l toner like the crimp. slow moving,

There he spent fifteen precious min utes coding 6. message to his lawyer. After which he ran in good earnest through the dock gates, for he had seen the long jibboom. with the snowy furled jibs, slowly creep out of sight above the dock wall.
 The Orontes was moving out to the locks. Drake mingled with the gang shifting her lines ,as she warped along. He hauled wet, heavy bowlines enthusiastically. But Lord! how soft he had grown! How his arms ached. How his breath caught,
 Drake recalled all his earlier knowledge of ships arrangement. He had no fear about being seen for a brief while, where all men were strangers. He knew there twas only one man aboard who would be likely to know the men he had shipped, and that man, recently the mate, was now walking the poop, master. A whistle shrilled out aft. The mate ran to the forecastle rail to answer: and Drake tucked and ran into the forecastle itself. Some steel ships, he knew, had a steel bowsprit which entered the fore castle through the bows, and was hollow to the big wide heel. The , Orontes had. He wriggled into the convenient cavity like an eel. and ] lay there palpitating jubilaptiy.
 Overhead the dreary gang tramp ed the capstan around.
 CHAPTER V
 Mag's Fancy Bloke
 Crouched in his narrow steel shell, Drake thrilled to the adven- turc he had hurled himself into.
 He inhaled a deep breath, for the confines of his steel shell grew stuffy. Dry red lead dust tickled his throat and nostrils. He sneezed Thanked his stars there was nobody to hear. Then started to sneeze again, and fought desperately to stop the explosion; for voices sound- ed appallingly near. At the fore | castle door.

 "Oh, Daddy never let me com forward!" laughed Mary Manning Tt is a nice big place, isn't 1t! Ho' many men live here? o-oh!"

The time-honored remedy was of no avail, and l think my pallor rivaled that of the unconscious woman when the nurse, calm. ef- ilcient, and apparently unhurried, stalked into the room.

 There was Il touch of formality in her manner which made me realize how closely she observed the punc- tilios of her profession. She had been in attendance upon Mother Graham, with full authority for hy- podermics only a few days before, but because she had been trans ferred to Leila, she wished to be sure of my sanction before ad- ministerlng ono. noticed, however, that she had not finished her sen- tence before she began preparing her needle, and my heart warmed to her resourceful competence as ansW Wered---,

 He bound them tight with a strong cloth.
 Tn a simple fracture it is neces- sary only to put the limb in splints," he said.
 But it will be some time before Johnnie will be able to walk again. And be sure to keep him quiet, so the bones can knit together" he advised the mother.
 If the bones knit properly in after years it will be difficult to dis, tinguish the injured leg from the other one."

ciation.)
When we think of pay roll we
generally think of the pay check or
the sole dcurrency and silver hand
ed through the windows Saturday
night or at the end of the month. To
increase the pay roll has meant that
more of this article of exchange has
passed through the windows and
possibly we have felt that 1t also
meant slightly longer queue of toll
worn people waiting for their pit
lance.
A pay roll, however, means more
than pay check. A pay roll Is the
very life of the community and the
money disseminated becomes life

commerce, activity and all civic In
situations and endeavor Take it
away and windows are boarded up,
factories close, banks fail, merchants
move away schools close, church
bells ring no more and the commun-
ity soon becomes another Deserted
Village"
The pay roll therefore means mon
ey, happy homes, better churches
and better schools, better Libraries
and stronger more active clubs, high
er educational institutions, better
home influences, contented people, |
better citizenship, civilization in its
better aspects and true Americaniza-
ton. Better opportunities are Civ

dren sent to school; wages are suffi-
cient to permit families to. live up to
the American standard with homes
owned by the laborers, flowers in
front and garden in the rear; there
is time for recreation and study and
improvement for all; contented citi-
zenship and no Bolshevism when
the pay roll increases.

what pay roll means to commun-
ity. Are we then using every eff
