Sally nodded and drew her hand

fringed with long, silky lashes,
they had the frankness of a child's

She was turning to go back to

thought struck her and she came
back to where Davidson stood
watching her.
"Millie said something to me
last night about your coming to
work for Mr.. Nye." she said. do

Davidson answered it with a jerk

Mile was lying against the pill

that counted. Had it slipped out
accidentally? Was he already
thinking of being with her always,
as she was thinking and dreaming
of being with him?
She looked at him now. meeting
his gaze, her whole soul in her
eyes. Surely he would be blind il
he couldn't see how she felt. But
all at once she felt something like
an icy hand laid on her heart. His
gaze had gone on beyond hers, and
suddenly the corners of his mouth
dropped miserably. He looked des-
perate.
Ann turned. She saw, not far
away, a couple that had just en-
tered: George and Ernest Brooks!
But the sight of them together
was less depressing than the look
on Bill Warren's face. For it shat

But a tide Of misery rolled up,
and she was powerless to resist it.
"Oh, can't they stop the boat?"
she pleaded. Cant they take
me back to land?"
Bill put his arm around her,
steadied her, took her down to the
cabin, where she lay, feeling

Would he come to like her?
She'd make him like her, she'd
make him! He would fall hope

she loved him, and some day
they'd go away together where
there were no offices and no
troubles, and they had nothing
except each other. And then
they'd live like that forever, and
never, never change!
1t was growing dark again.
Already the memory of the short
voyage seemed less real.
