Of course, it was a_joke—but she was madden ingly serious about it. She bewildered him. He confessed to himself that she had him “going.” Laughing at him beyond doubt! He gritted his teeth She picked up the menu and studied it again. The silverware in the racks played an anvil chorus, but it did no! distract her. “Shirred eggs, Willlam.” Trask gasped. Eggs! He had man aged a grapefruit—but eggs’ “No eggs'" he shouted at her. She looked up with a little frown “What has happened to the eges inqui usted! Al of ‘em “It is necessary to ‘bust’ eggs be fore they are shirred,” she sai “Pring me shirred eggs.” He drew a deep breath und braced himself for the journey. As he cai omed along the aisle, Trask was mer cifully unconscious that she was look ing after him. Yet, instinctivel sensed something of what was goin on behind him, for he muttered “The little devil” They asathemtieed ‘it i o} kitchen when he presented his orde It was not a good day for ehirrin eggs. But Trask stood doggedly by h uns. He wae ready to thrash a cook it need; or to shirr the eggs himsel need; or to shirr the eggs himsel which would have bee ven Keeler could ne have achleved such a glittering v riety of steps. “Thank you My coffee and roll underfoot. Soon he discovered this was useless. Then he tried to meilt himself into the fury—to become a part of it, to yield himself to the mood of the hurricane. It was better thus, yet he was still shockingly helpless. Just how he managed to reach his post at the table he did not clearly understand, save that he had walked, staggered, leaped and slid thither without crawling on all fours. “Glass is under twenty-eight” he heard a volce whisper. 1t signified nothing particular to Trask. What the barometer might say mattered little to hi it was what the sea and the wind and the ship did that signified. Three hardy passengers staggered into the saloon, groping.for support as they made their perilous way to their places. One of them was a wo- man. She was halfway to her seat when she glanced out at the face of the morning. Tightening her lips, she turned and reeled back toward the door of escape. Trask saw her no 1 more. After' that came other stragglers, two at his own table. They were more frightened than hungry: the sight of the table racks visibly affect- ed them. Thank Heaven, they were on the other side of his table! They were the special charges af another brass-buttoned hero. And then almost before he knew it she was in her seat. He steadied him- self, waited for the momentary safety of an even keel, then flung himself forward and gripped the back of her chair, clinging desperately, his legs spread wide apart in the alsle. flldnay studied her menu with ap- palling cAlmness. The fact that her forks and knivi and spoons were chasing each other in a mad dance among the racks seemed not to dis- tract her attention in the least. “You may bring me grapefruit, Henry,” she said without looking up. Trask gulped and took a fresh grip on her chair. Was it possible she had forgotten! $ “Not Henry!” he half shouted, | leahing over her shoulder. She turned and glanced at him. It was a swift glance, but it comp: hended his blue uniform, his brass buttons and the nhapkins that lay across his arm. “Why, of course,” she said, with a slight nod. “It's William—not Henry. Grapefruit, Willlam! Trask stood swaying, dazed. In the midst of a hurricane the thing was grotesque. "\Ve)l. made ho move. r\ed William?" ‘William! The Gulf Qtreflm reeled ominously— over, over—over! Trask clung to the chair. A long, steep hill stretched before hini. The girl calmly braced herself against the edge of the table, There was a quiver of steel plates and frames, a groaning of cabinet work, a racking throb of the engines. The hill began to level itself again, as the ship righted. “! am waiting for my breakfast,” said Sidney sharply. “Ah~—certainly Trask turned, released his hold on the chalr, dived for the next one, and made his way between the tables in a series of perilous zigzags. She wanted grapefruit! It was ab- surd—impossible—it was a dream, of course, But she wanted grapefruit! The Gulf Streant was fighting for life in a troplc cyclone, with the odds, likely enough. against her. But Sid- | ne; Sands wanted grapefruit! &ell she should have it! Trask set his resolution grimly to the task. She should have grapefruit, if the fihlp turned over. sprawled against a table, clung lo fl for several seconds, then dived headlong for an iron pillar, which marked another step on the journey. He glanced back. She was still sit- ting there, her swivel chair tipped at a threatening angle, her feet swinging clear of the floor. But he noted that she sat tight and secure. Of all the human folk in the cabin, she seemed the surest and steadiest. He was close to the swinging doors now, only a clear space intervening. ‘He waited for another lurch of the ship and took it on the run. The matter of a hurricane had slipped from his mind. He visualized nothing but half a grapefruit, packed solidly about with fce. ‘Why, of course she must have it! Twice during the return journey he she demanded abruptly, as “Am I to.be delivering the grapefruit to a stout gentleman—upside down on the top of his bald head. He retrieved it bv marvelous -legerdemain. Again he al- most gave it to a lady—in her lap. But he clutched it grimly, juggled it for an instant and restored it to its plate. At last he was within a yard of her. The Gulf Stream dived hideously. So did Trask. He hit the carpeted floor, slid, rolled over and staggered to his feet. Willlam Hamilton Trask had played still had the ma;mm “Thank you, lilam,” she said placidly, as she picked up a spoon. She ate very daintily. If the Gulf Stream never rose from a fearful lunge into a hollow between two great seas, Trask would have been con- consclous of nothing except a small lady in blue, diligently and deftly ex- cavating the several com) ments of a grapefruit. It was obvious that she enjoyed it. Her whole attention was devoted to it, yet she ate lelsurely. Ocummny she glanced through an orthole, but if the terrifying aspect the sea caused her any un- ul!nul she gave no sign of it. Nor did she appear to be consclous of the gnunee of her waliter, who st raced for the next leap of the floor calied him “Willlam"t She had ordered hims to do her bidding, 00d | sand school chil Willlam.” He groaned. Any fool of a waite should have remembered coffee atii rolls without being told. It meant ar other journey The' rolls would not stay on t plate. They skidded and scattered. He went for more and the second lot wvers soon rolling merrily about with the fellows on the floor of the saloor But he held stoutly to the coffee.

That was a crowning impertinence. “Shall I help you to the ma'am?”’ he asked. “No, thank you. nicely." He had a mad desire to pick her up, tuck her under his arm and carry her out, as a spolled child may be re moved from parlor. But she w gone before he decided whether to act upon the impulse. She pirouetted he way down the wildly tilting table, wi out even touching the chairs or tables apparently anticipating every move ment of the ship. “Confound her!” he growled. “She ought to be nked.

Huh! “Say.” sald Trask, as he leanad weakly against the wall. “At wha! hour do we hit Key West?” Harrison, the head stewart, looked at his substitute waiter In surprise “Key West?" he repeated. “We're not going to Key West.” “What?” “In a hurricane like this? Not on your life. The old man wouldn't take & chance of trying to make port In this blow. We're standing out into the Gulf, looking for plenty of sea- room.” Trask was incredulous. “A'nd we won't go to Key West at Never mind dcor I can do very “Not on this trip.

You've been a mighty good sport, but I don’t like your job any more. You can call Henry back. Judging by the size of the crowd this morning, I guess you'll have plenty of waiters for lunch and dinner. Good-by, old man. God bless you' I've won my bet!” He made a dash for the servants quarters, heedless of the bumps he received. “Just wait till T get hold of her!" he exclaimed, as he peeled off his uniform. “Just wait!"” As he tossed the brass-buttoned coat on the floor a nickel rolled out of the pocket. He picked it up, chuckling, and studied it with amus- Suddeuly he sobered and held it closer. The nickel was plugged. “The Httle imp!" he cried. " (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) PAYNE IN MANILA.
