THE SUNDAY THE GIRL IN THE SECOND CABIN d by his impersonation ward off iny spleasure whlch said stern father (50 Bt To xieit on_a deflant and dis. b Trask starta aboard |I|! shin Bul' fl'nnm ins ‘whee] r‘h mer is_pushed on deck by than he hehnldl a llrl at lhe rall— " he dubs her. om Yesterday's Star.) _(Centinued ¢ LEASE don't mention it, ‘ma‘am,” answered Keeler, concealing a cough behind one of those immense hands that now had a new Interest for the invalid. “And now, sir,” turning to Trask, T think you'd better go in.” “Oh, nonsense!” exclaimed the pa- tient. “I'm afraid, sir—" It was Miss Kent who interrupted. “I am quite sure you are right, Mr. Keeler. Mr. Trumbull must be given a great deal of rest and good care. He has been through a terrible ex- perience, and when a man has been wounded twice by bullets It was Keeler's turn to stare. His wide gray eyes shifted their glance swiftly from the goddess to the in- valid, then back again. “You said ‘bullets, ma'am?” “Certainly; bullet remarked the foy voice of Trask. “The bullets in yny legs, Keeler. You haven't lost your memory, have you?" “J—why—certainly not, sir. 1 just didn’t know that the lady understood, ir.” Keeler involuntarily looked down ;lk the blanketed and bullet-riddled e “So 1 wm say good-afternoon, Mr. Trumbull,” she said, holding out her hand. “You must try to be a trac- table patient. And tomorrow I will vead to you.” She was gone before Tresk could mumble a good-by, her tall, straight figure swaying grace- fully to the roll of the ship. The in- valid scowled up at his nurse and sfound that person regarding him ‘with bewilderment. “Bullets,” he repeated, dully. “Oh, shut up, Keeler.” “Why, yes, sir. But—bullets!” Hé stepped behind the wheel chair and pushed it in the direction of Trask's stateroom. *“The doctor nev @bout bullets to me, “You can forget Keeler." “Certainly, sir.” “Except when around.” Trask could not see the smile that] slowly illuminated the features of his xulrdlan He merely heard: “I understand, sir." Trask, having breakfasted in his stateroom, irritably awaiied the re- turn of Keeler, who had gone on an rrand to the purser's office. The Yreakfast was excellent, but the en- vironment irked him. He felt that his place was in the dining saloon, where, by judicious diplomacy, he might have edged his way into a seat between the dragon and the goddess. He even suggested this to Keeler, but that competent person raised such insurmountable objections, prin- olpally those of transit to and fro. that Trask abandoned the idea In des) Fg:lthe first_time in his adult life he had been put to bed an nd Titted out ‘of it. Therehad been: no fur~ ther conversation on the auhject of bullets, a fact which rafsed , Keeler measurably in his opinion. Trask had reached the conclusign that his nurse, whatever his past, present or future, was a person of Illl‘lllll' tact %nd adaptability. He had gruped the bullet situa- tion in & lenk“ns. he could be re- lied upon. But Keeler was still a firm follower of th& instructions of . Dr. Van Norden, and evidently still 2 believer in the inability of Trask's legs to perform their customary of- fice. Although it surprised him, he had accepted the wheel chair as a fix- ture. Trask was sitting in it now, his eyes gloomily surveying the para- phernalia of his stateroom, with oc- casional glances through the window 1o the deck, where forenoon pedes- trians were on brisk parade. Tt looked like a very fine ‘day; Trask had not been out in it yet. He felt a craving within him that he was unable to diagnose until his roving gaze rested on an upper shelf $n a corner of his quarters. A bright object glistened there. He knew it in an instant; it was his cigarette case. He, wanted to smoke. The. chair was several feet distant from the shelf, and, even though he wheeled it across the room, he could not' reach the silver box from his seat. Keeler being .absent, Trask took the simple and direct method. He stepped out of his juggernaut and walked. lnrd' But it feels: good to stretch,” he sald, as he reached for the box. The matches were on a small table n another corner. He strolled over juxuriously and lighted a cigarette. “IIl put the box back,” he ob- served, reaching to the shelf. “May as well let Keeler do some guessing, if he should happen to catch me. But I'll chuck it if 1 see him coming.” Back in his chair, he inhaled deeply and blew filmy clouds of smoke into the air. The second day of invalidism was openifg auspi ciously. The cigarette was consumed and tossed away. Trask was pre meditating another, when Keeler opened the door of the stateroom and ste) in. l?r’?altpd a pace inside the door- way and sniffed. His eves sought those of Trask, who waited for the opening of the battle. But Keeler did not open it yet. He glanced at the floor, inspecting it caretully. Then he stepped over to the table in the cornef. picked up a burnt match from fthe tra From there he crossed the room and reached for: the cigarette case, the contents of which he counted. Replacing it on the upper shelf, he turned to Trask with a sorrowful and perplexed look. .4“‘. Trumbull, sir! “What is it, Keeler “you've been smoking, sir.” *I'm not on the witness stand, Keeler."” “I don't understand how you got at the box, sir. “Perhaps it fell off the shelf when the ship rolled.” “It 18 not rolling sir.” “That's true; before. “And, even if it had, sir, how would 1t ‘et back?” "It )- rather curious,” admitted Trask. Kester's scrutiny of his legs was disconcerting. The gray eves ap- peared to be staring straight through lothing and flesh, to his very bones. '( “Was anybody in here, sir?" asked A steward?” said anything he muttered. the bullets, Miss Kent s this 1 hadn't noticed that Keeler. “Nobody." Keeler shook his head and breathed Jeepl “You're mot going suppose,” he said, sadly. “No, indeed." “Very well, sir." With an air of offended and out- [} ¥ and examined | 08, T B 0F With & cannon, and read morning, | to explain, 1| BY E. J. RATH. (Copyright, 1926, by G. Howard Wett.) raged trust, Keeler turned, opened the stateroom window and threw the silver cigarette case across the deck and into the sea. Trask exclaimed angrily. Keeler paid no heed to him, but busied him- self with small duties about the stateroom, occasionally shaking his head in a mystified way. It was some time later that he de- cided to trundle his patient out upon the deck. Trask believed that the maddening delay was a punishment, but he made no comment. On the port deck, amidships, Keeler tound a nook that was shel- tered from the wind, vet flooded with a forenoon sun. Having placed the his pocket a small chain and padlock and dropped to his knees, where he busied himself anchoring a spoke in one of the wheels to the axle. Trask grinned. “I got it from the purser, sir,” ex- plained Keeler, as he snapped the padlock shut. “No runaways today, then.” “No, sir.” Having thus forestalled a repeti- tion of the delightful adventure, Keeler attended to the rugs and the shawl until Trask felt like a royal mummy. “Now, sir,” said Keeler, “if you'll excuse me for half an hour, I've some things to attend to in the state- room. There'll be a lady here to read to you directl; Trask beamed. “You saw her? She told you?" he demanded eagerly. “Yes, sir,” and Keeler's smile was a singularly knowing one. With a final survey of his patient, he disap- peared. Trask waited blissfully. The god- dess was coming, just as she had promised. Things were not 8o bad as they might be, after all. He closed his eyes luxuriously, settled back and drew deep breaths out of the soft ocean air. He even forgot the loss of his cigarette case. The scraping of a deck chair aroused him and he sat up quickly. He found himself looking into the small, bright eyes of the dragon, who had seated herself very close. “Good morning, young man,” said, sharply. “W'hy—fr—flhv in| T've come to read to you," and trom a pocket of her coat she drew a somber-looking book. Trask could not suppress a gasp. He remembered Keeler's smile. Keeler knew! He could cheerfully have choked his nurse, as well as Miss Mehetabel Grimm. “You expected me?” she demanded, opening the book. d “Not exactly. But I'm sure it's very kind-of you,” he lied. “You expected my nlec-’ 2 dldn't expect; no. T jpst merely hoped.” “She is engaged with her mm?:er. said Miss Grimm severely. 'She mentioned that she planned to read to you.

But he was curious. “Would you mind telling me why' ired. h"‘;«"l‘)‘zuat all. He wrote an article in a magazine opposing state socialism. a silly, puerile and utterly preposter: ous article. Has the man any brains at all “Who? Father?" “Yes; your father!” “Why; he has a _moderate lnt sorry you and he don't agree.” “You may be sorry for him, if you like; I am quite well satisfied,” de- clared Miss Grimm, still seeking a suitable page in her book. “What do you think of my niece?” she snapped, suddenly. “Er—Miss Kem'l" “Of course.” “Why, I think she is charming,” de- slared Trask, with genuine feeling. “Humph! She’s crazy.” Vhy, Miss Grimm! T'm s “And I'm sure,” interrupted Aunt Mehetabel. “When I say crazy, x mean crazy. My niece is crazy.” Trask was bewildered and resent- ful. He was willing to overlook al- most anything that might be said of Spencer Trumbull's father; that was no concern of his, save for purposes of pretense. But the case of Lucille Kent was tremendously different. “My niece is crazy on the subject of being a war nurse,” continued Aunt Mehetabel, closing her hook at a care- fully marked page. “Did you know that?” “She did express some interest in the matter,” admitted Trask. “I think it does her great credit.” “Bosh! A fad. Her father very properly put his foot down. I agreed with. him. She can’'t scrub a floor; she can't boil a pall of water. And she wants to be a war nurse! Do vou know what she really thinks she wants to do? She wants to sit along- side of a general in full uniform, who she yes; good morn- understand 17 'm poetry to him, while she wears a white veil around her head. Do you call that nursing’ “Well, 1 don't belleve the general would make a roar against it,” ob- served Trask earnestly. “Nonsense! Has she sald she was going to nurse you?” Aunt Mehetabel examined him with a stern and searching glance. She hasn’t done me that honor,"” sald Trask stiffly. “Well, she will. Never fear. She'll jnurse a sick fish, if she couldn’t do any better. If it had a uniform on, she'd read to it. She's been reading war books for over five years now.” Having thus spoken, Miss Grimm opened her book with a snap, and he) self began t5 read in a sharp and ag- gressive volce/ Whatever she read lboux ‘rask did not listen. He was too deeply engaged in the task of try- ing to calm’ his resentment. He did not like Aunt Mehetabel; he did not like the things she said about the god- dess of the white flannels. He admitted to himself—although it seemed like a sneaking form of trea- son—that perhaps the goddess was just .a trifle carried away with the idea that the most interesting man In the world was one who carried a chunk of shrapnel in his shoulder and chair as he wished it, he took from g nefoes. But those little peculiarities, he assured hiniself, were merely manifestations of a sweet, noble and sympathetic spirit. Her heart's de- sire, it seemed to Trask, was a pecu- liarly admirable one; particularly so where it extended even to the inten- tion of nursing a perfectly well young man who had substituted imaginary burglars for real soldiers. Aunt Mehetabel read steadily, punc- tuating with a_belligerent forefinger. Trask alternately watched the prome- naders and devoted himself to the study of a tramp steamer several mflo- in the offing. He was not listen- ing. “There!" snapped Miss Grimm, pausing. “That's what your father vs has no sense in it.” ‘erhaps he only skimmed through it,” suggested Trask. “He's a very busy man, you know."” “He had time enough to write an alleged answer to it. What do you think of it, young man?” “1? 'Oh, T agree with you." Aunt Mehetabel had a gleam in her eye. She closed her book with a snap and faced him. “You agree thoroughly wtih what I have been reading?” “By all means. Yes, indeed.” “Well, 1 don't.” Trask groaned. “I agree with part of it only,” she said, glaring at him through the hor: rimmed lenses. ‘The premise is righ the conclusion is wrong. Don't you see where the fault in the logic is?” “Somewhere in the middle part, wasn't it?” Aunt Mehetabel's baleful. “You are more hopeless than vour father,” she said. “What's the mat- ter with your legs?" “Shot.”" So you told my niece. the mun-r Wwith them?” “Madam expressjon was But what's Trask eauyed a tone of indignation, but there was more of consternation in his voice. Was this creature a mind-reader? “People with shot legs don't go to sea,” she went on. “They stay ashore until they can walk. When did you tell her your legs were shot—before or after?” He looked puzzled. “Before or after she began talking war foolishness”" “Why—I'm not sure.” “It was afterward,” sald Aunt Me- hetabel sternly. “You aimed to please, didn’t you? Do you know what T think is the matter with your legs?" Trask waited breathless. This woman terrified him. “Laziness! I've read in the papers about you, Mr. Spencer Trumbull Aunt Mehetabel arose from . her chair and tucked her book into her pocket. “I don't approve of either you or your father,” she announced. “At the same time, T make it a practice to be kind to people. Is there anything I can do for you before I go? Trask looked up at her meditatively. “You might lend me a cigarette,” he suggested. Aunt Mehetabel her turned on SBTAR, WASHINGTON, square heels and charged down the deck. She never looked K. Presently Keeler came and inquired If his patient would take his exercise. “Did you know which one was going to read to me, Keelér?” demanded Trask. “Why—yes, si “Keeler, if you ever chain me up and leave me in the hands of that woman again, I'll make a report to Dr.'Van Norden that will ruin your professional career.” “I'l be careful next time, sir,” prom ised Keeler. “Only reall sir, you shouldn’'t have smoked that cigarette.” Thus did Willlamm Hamilton Trask discover that punishment had been meted out to him. His respect for Dr. Van Norden's janizary was increasing by tne hour. The deck was not particularly\in- teresting. Although the wheel chair made three rounds of it, Miss Kent was nowhere in sight. Trask was rapidly becoming bored and restless. He found that he had become conspicuous. People pointed see, and whispered. Several of them gave him a very wide berth. and he understaod the reason for that. Fi- nally he wound up at his stateroom door and amazed his guardian by an- nouncing that he was going inside to lle down and take a nap. (Continued in Tomorrow’s Star.) WILL REQUIRE OIL BIDS.
