ships officers had changed to white
linen on the second day out. The
white suit and brass buttons were es-
pecially becoming to Jim Keith, throw
ing his dark, saturnine looks into vivid
contrast.
But . something inimical about
the man! . thought Joyce. Some
thing about the little mocking smile in
the depths of his dark eyes which
struck sparks from her temper.
She didn't want to think about Jim
Keith. She wanted to lie here imper-
vious to all but the lifting and settling

rail.

wondering how he came to be the first
officer of a ship on this Far Western
run-from his crisp accent he was evi-
IDENTIFY of English birth.
When she realized she was sitting
here thinking about the man she dis
liked, she shut the magazine in irrita-
tion and went down to the cabin.
But this was merely exchanging the
frying pan for the fire. To her half
angry amusement, Joyce found that
Roger had a visitor, DR.. McManus, the
ships doctor, who was already en-
barked on the subject of Jim Keith.
Interrupted momentarily by Joyce's
arrival, the doctor lost no time in get
ting bark IN what WAS undoubtedly a
favorite subject.
of course, one can't pick ones
associates in this business. But, after
all, something is due a gentleman. o..
I made the mistake of protesting to
Capt. Ellery when first came on this
run-but this fellow Keith has the
captain completely fooled. He believes
in him implicitly and"-the doctor
spread his pudgy hands in injured res

endangering my own position"
But what has the poor fellow done
to you that you should go out of your
way to kick him?" Kitty's tone bristled
a trif1e.
MY dear lady'-the doctors tone
was weighted with enforced patience as
he flashed his glasses at her. You
don't understand. There is a mystery
about this fellow. E. OF course, you
understand that I'm speaking strictly

glittered, her fingernails glittered, her
eyes, between their heavily mascaraed
lasheS, glittered with the lights of one
who sights her prey.
But Jim Keith had no intention of
being prey. A little ruthlessly he tore
through the widows net of insistence
and started to the ladder which led to
his own quarters.
1t was then he became aware that
there had been a spectator to the little
tableau.

CHAPTER XVII.
JIM KEITH.

Y IFE on shipboard takes on an ar
tifcial gayety. The past has
dropped below the horizon. The
IL future is lost in the fogs ahead.
But the present is very much on
deck, very much to be coped With at
the moment.
Nervous activity descends on the pas
sengers. There is no routine-no Seri-
Gus work to be done They are con-
fronted by empty days which they
must fill with play and false contests:
BY the second day ship life was well
under way. Mushroom friendships,
Whirlwind f1irtations were begun and
mounting rapidly. Deck games were
the order of the day Ship concerts
were being planned and arrangements
made for the evening dances.
1t would be a smooth trip-that
meant much social life. thought Jim
Keith, and grimly found himself hop
ing for storm. Confound job which
counted making himself agreeable to
passengers as one of his duties The
men weren't SO bad one could al
ways find common ground OF work
with a man. But women-why was it
women-so many women-seemed to
throw off all inhibitions when they
came on board ship and carried on in a
manner they would never dream of fol-
Loving on shore?
But there was nothing Of these un-
charitable thoughts visible in the young
officers face as he laughingly tried to
evade the determined advances of the
flirtatious widow who had waylaid him
on the promenade deck.
Nov, Mr.. Keith, you really must
come on down to by cabin for a lit
tie visit. Mrs. Lansing spoke Of you so
often to me that really feel we're old
friends, you know!"
'Awfully kind of you to say So"
jim Keith was cropping in his memory
for Mrs. Lansing and dimly placing her
as straw -colored blond whom he had
frequently evaded on previous voyage.
But, you know, Mrs. Calhoun, my job
is not all pleasure-some of it is
work" and to himself Jim Keith
fiercely added and that's no lie!"
Nothing straw-colored about this
widow. She was a decided blond-very
blond and very decided. Gold filings
matched the gilt of her hair, her teeth

women who frankly sought Keith, yet
when she saw him evade them and fall
into conversation with some man she
was unreaSonably irritated.
Il can't stand that" she told Kitty
emphatically. That high and mighty
manner of his Is unbearable!"
Which was unjust, for at that mo-
ment Jim Keith was smiling most un-
aftectedly at some sally of a vivacious
little brunette.
Evening star., 1932-05-10

Such unnecessary heat in her tone,
such an unwonted high color in her
cheeks that Kitty looked at the girl in
surprise. She saw Joyce's eyes 90 wide.
Saw her catch her breath in an inyol-
untary little gasp.
Mercnuuy unaware that he was the
subject of their conversation, Jim Keith
was walking over to them.

said: ''I don't like him, anyway That
that sort of cold little laugh he gets
in his eyes. =. He fancies himself"
But out of her depths of knowledge
Kitty rejected this.
"Aw, poor kid he doesn't mean
anything by that high chin of his. He's
only whistlin' in the dark. :"
1t was apparent that not every one
shared DR.. McManus' prejudice against
the Neptune's first officer. At the ships
dance that night Mrs. Calhoun, the de-
termined widow, had much feminine
competition.
Watching over her escorts shoulder.
Joyce noticed that Jim Keith danced
well-naval officers generally do, she
told herself with a little curl of the
lip. even cashiered ones!
