You possess that haracteristic in a most marked de- @ree. Your actiohs tonlght are un- mistakable evidence that you haye nerve.” “It strikes me that you've got & lttle of 1t youtself,” observed the Yyoung man evenly.

The other shrugged his shoulders. “It depends on the. story,” he sald. “I—I don’t understand.” The young man frowned. “There's a chance for me to get aboard the mall boat?" “It depends on the story,” said the other again. “Moon-mad!" murmured the young n once more, after a moment’s ilence. “But {t's cheap at the price, Yor it's not mtch of'a story.

And I know it was & queer place my mate steered me into. It was faro.. The.box was run by an old Chinaman, who looked as though he were trying to impersonate one of his ancestors, he was 8o old. | My mate and I formed the English. speaking community. There were 'a Jap or two and a couple of pleasant looking cutthroats - who- cursed in, Spanish and a Chink lying on a bunk ' rolling his pill. Oh, yes, the place stunk! Every once in a while the door opened -and some other God. forsaken plece of refuse drifted In. By midnight we had a full house of pretty bad stuff. “It ended in a.row, of course. Some | fool of a tout came in chaperoning a party of three men, who were out to see the sights; they were passengers, I found out later, from one of.the ships in port. 1 don't know what started the rympus; some private teud, I guess. The first thing I knew one of the Spaniards had a knife, out | and had jumped for the tout. It was ! o free-for-all in a miuvte.

He was too scared, I imagine, even to have the thought of tackiing -such tormidable things as fron shutters anter his head. I yelled fo the stoker to-get them open, and tried to.form « sort of rear guard for him while he did 1t.

But the stoker knew his way out. We gave the police the slip, and a little later on we landed up In & sallor's boarding house run by a gne-eyed cousin of Satan known as Lascar Joe.
