He went away to dellver the message: and was gone “ages.” Returning, he informed the “good waiter” that the captain would like to see him. Win Shute was off to the bridge as he. might have started for second, *High ran his hopes. He could almost feel the ship slowing down! The captain invited him tnto: the chartroom and closed the door. With- out a ‘word he handed him a Marcont- gram, which ran: “Captain, S. S. Colonia: “Must be some mistake. Our player Shute here In’ game today. “TRIS FORD.” Saw a Typewriter Before! BY BLOSSER | OW, WE WAS TH IN'- HUW? “FUNNIEST SEWING MACHINE ~ I'T- «PEWS ABCs.” ‘PAGE SEVEN After. reading 4t-over..a,,second,,time to make sure, the captain's. visitor, shaking his head doggedly,, spoke in no uncertalp voice; “The inistake ie in the megsage. Tris Ford never sent It.” “Why not?” asked the captain thdul- gently. “Why not? It shows on Its. face why not. It says I was in the gume today. And I'm on this ship!" “Sit down,”, sald the captain, who paused ubtil. his Invitation had been accepted.’ “Mr. .James—" “My. name isn't James—it's Shute.” “Well, then, Mr. Shute, if you prefer it,” said the captain, wishing to humor, bis guest, “I have made a. careful {n- quiry about you. Your root steward reports, and .the quartermaster on duty at. the. gangway confirms It,-that you came aboard intoxicated—I may say, Were, brought aboard drunk.” “It’s a lle! Was never drunk in my life—-hever took a drop of liquor in my life. What happened, | was given a knockout—brought aboard drugged,” The captain appeared. puzzled, then continued: “I hardly think so, Mr. James—” “Shute!” : “—Mr. Shute. , The ship’s doctor examined you, at the request of your friends, after you were assisted abeard. He.reports that he found you in an advanced state of !ntoxica- tion, Your friends said that you had been celebrating unwisely before sail- ing.” ‘ “I tell you {t's a lle.” “Mr. Shute, {f you are not inclined to take my view of this unfortunate circumstance, you will have to be sent where you will be looked after. I “| Mean That if You Don’t Stop Your Nonsense and Behave Yourself | Will Order You'to the Hospital.” mean that if you don’t stop your non- sense.und behave yourself, I will order, you to the hospital. Good morning.” Win Shute had never been put out of. a:game.'in. bis life. He eyed the “umpire” of the high seas critically and turned: to go. But, like the aver- age ball player,-he couldn’t leave the “field” without the last word. “Captain, you've got me—I acknowl- edge that: And I’m not going to make any trouble for you—not while you're mannging the ship. But once we strike dry land T promise you I'll start a brand of trouble that will bring up on this boat. I've been drugged—I repeat tt. And there’s been the dirti- est kind of a frameup against me. What's more, that message you hold in. your hand 1s a pure fake. . Either the man who sent ft or the man who received. It is .@ crook—take | your choice!” Before the captain of the Colonia could reply, S. W. James, or, as he de- manded to be called, J, W. Shute, was ggne, Quick thinking was:a portion of his business fn life. In less than the dis- tance from. home to first base he had definitely outlined, his plan. of auction. Of course he would give the head man of the ship. no cause to resort to war measures; that would be silly—worse than kicking yourself out of a big game which you might help to win. No, sirec! He would stand for “James’—he would be S. W. James, Quietly, but none the less decisively, he would devote himself to an unemo- tional consideration of his highly ex- asperating plight. He would ‘see If past devotion to the stories of the Great Detective had taught him. any- |‘ thing worth while regarding infer- ences and deductions from a limited array of facts. For the next nine days, or until the ship touched at Gibraltar, he would do nothing else! On-land James Winton Shuté would have kept steadfastly to his: resolve. But he was to find it different on ship- board. He was to discover something revolutionary about a sea voyage, something that Jars one loose and cuts one off completely from ordinary life. The great white trail which fetches up at the stern of the ship leads away from every-day existence, lengthening the space back to the confines of duty’) and custom and habit as one wautical mile is tossed high on another. For the first time !n Win Shute's‘ex- perience the pleasing shape of a girl bending to the wind, skirts taut like a sail. close-hauled, tousled wavy brown -hair brushing her nimated face, Irish blue eyes bright and beam- ing, cheeks aglow with the delight of living. suddenly swept Into. his ken, and away went the restraints of an or- derly, carefully planned scheine of \ife. . “Gee, what. a swell girl!” he mut- tered. Then: “Why's she with that crook?” # It was Miss, Biley, and she was at- tended by Jerrold Mansel, the wireless ‘ ee operator. More to. nt, they, having # Jolly inated é. Miss Riley and her mother: re. Daniel. Riley. occupted Sulte..A -8.and 15 on the upper promenade deck, Mst- ing at $700 for the vogaye to Naples. It was the finest suite on the ship. ( There was, however, nothing, un; democratic about’ Miss / Riley. Al- though she was the most fascinating person on the ship, she didn't let that hother her,, Her. mother was> a:.subr dued, almost. thinid.woman.pagt mide Me age. who had a habit, of-fading Into the furn{ture and becoming.a sta- tonary’ part of her surroundings. She was. easily. the, best. listener on the hoat, Her danghter was: devoted to her, and Mrs, Riley plainly showed that her Interest was restricted to ber “Girlie,” as she called her daughter. Miss Riley's beauty, which, of course, endeared her to: the masculine element, .for some renson, did not 6- tract from her favor with the women, They liked. her because she. never fatled to “noti them, “She's nice to every one” was another general ob- servation. Win Shute was not one of those who worshiped from afar. Just as in baseball he was in the game every minute, so in this new. grime he plaiyed It assiduously. ‘Phe day of his inter view with the captain he had per- formed a: slight: favor for Mrs. Riley, the ubiquitous Steward being off duty, This led to an introduction: to Sms daughter,” and that resnited tn the transformation of the voyage, Fron the first he got on awinningiy with Miss. Riley. ‘They seemed to “perforth in the points,” as he, put It. “tke « veteran battery.” “What's a battery?” Riley, Win asked | Milas Shute was omazed, but he cheerfully explained: Pitcher and. catcher. Aren't youn basefall fan?” “T never. siw a game in my life,” she confessed, “You're. got. something coming | to you,” said Win, “You can't get me excited about any game to wateh, . Mn deveted to ten- nis and golf, and T played hockey and basketball at school. But i played—t didn't merely look on, A baseball fan must be the laziest sort of human be- Ing; he runs away from his business, and then he hasn't the energy or, the get-up to play. He sits idly by as other persons exert. themselves, It's too vicarious for me.” It was a decided shock to Win that Miss Riley didn't care for the na- tional game. If anything were needed to enhance} Miss Riley's charm, it was the mys- tery that developed about or envel- oped her the third. day, .out, Win Shute heard of 1t from his room stew: ‘ard, who had picked tt up from the walter at the purser'’s table. The purser was the agent of publicity, and tt was surmised that he had gleaned his Intelligence from the captain. Any- how, it was a matter that the captain and the purser would naturally talk over. zi Via wireless had come an inquiry to the captain of the Colonia about a passenger.» The inquiry was from the United States _government—so much was known. -It concerned a young woman who: was travelipg with her mother, She was described in_ the general terms of strikingly handsome and clever, From this the descriptions varied) according to the whim or Imagination of the person repeating the morsel of gossip. The nub of the tale was that the young woman was & fugitive from justice! Immediately a new ship's game. was started—find: the fugitive. The search was carried on-by a process of -elimi- nation, First the galling Hst was combed for a mother and daughter, It turned out, unfortunately, that in the first cabin there were exactly. twen- ty-one pairs of mothers and daugh- ters. As to whether these twenty-one mothered maidens were handsome and - clever, opinions: differed _markeijly. Some of the daughters were good-look- ing but undeniably dull; others were clever but plain. Not half a dozen could come. within range’ of the: spect- fications. ‘ When the consensus of opinion was about to pounce upon Miss Riley, who. headed the. list’ of, “suspects,” another bit of: information leaked: out, ‘The woman wanted was a. stenographer. Here the search for the guilty one be- gan all over, Miss Riley was wealthy —her sbip accommodations . and - her dress,.derioted that—so it must be - some one else. But after considering, the qualifications of other. possibili- ties for hours on end, Mistress Con- sensus again hovered about Miss Riley, ‘Thus the first cabin divided itself Into two. camps—the partisans of Miss Riley and those of “the fleld.” But paradoxically, in’ this. instance, par- tisan meant enemy. ‘The ship got hectic about:tt, and be- cause of It Win Shute got into trouble. He was. watching the poker game in the smoking room when. the loose- Jointed conversation switched to the unsolved mystery of the ship—the identity of the fugitive from justice. Eventyally there was an argument over the demerits of Al!ss Riley. Win Shute was angry at, mention of: her name. To him {t.was contempt!- ble that it should be dragged in and bandied about over booze and poker chips, ‘Two men—one an ordinarily decent chap who had taken a little too, much, and the other a cynical, self-contained man, the best poker, player at the table—Drought the unmanly discus- sion to a precipitate conclusion. There had been many references to .Miss Riley, most of them complimentary in nature, and the decent but tanked-up chap had proved her champion. As a clincher he asked: * _ "That eifl has the finest. rooms.on the boat. Does that look like outs @ stenographer? (To be continued).
