Trask slowly made his way to the saloon, clinging precariously to every object that offered support. He feir helpless as a. child. A white-faced man passed him, his lips mumbling as if he were repeating a. prayer. Two women, clinging to each other, halted him to ask where the life preservers were kept. He tolts them there was no danger; then realized that he knew absolutely nothing about it. He saw the girl at the farther end of the saloon, standing close to a porthole and looking out at the tem- pest. Her eyes were wide with won- der, but there was no terror in them. Trask managed to reach her side after hazardous navigation among the fur- niture. She was unconscious of his presence until he spoke. The awful seas had a fascination for her almost impossible to shake off. She uttered a little exclamation when she saw he had discarded his, waiter's uniform. “You'll be caught!” He shook his head and laughed. “We don't make Key West at all. It's al off, on account of the storm The news seemed to dlsappoint hes “Then all our planning wasn't necessary,” she said with a sigh. “I did so want to fool Capt. Blodgett. But 1 think the least you could have done was to play the game for the rest of the day.” She bestowed a little frown upon him, plainly displeased at his deser- tion from the ranks. “And have you keep on treating me the way vou did at breakfast?” She laughed in his face. Wasn't” it fun?" she ‘ere you awfully angry There was a minute when I could have hoxed your ears arid done it with a clean conscience.” “T know it!. You looked it. But I couldn’t resist the temptation; you were S0 awfully stern and serious. Really, I think it's mean of you not to serve my lunch and dinner. Won't you put on vour uniform again?" You'll be sorry if ‘T do. I have a score to settle. 1 stood for it at break- fast, but at lunch there'd be a revo- lution. I don’t think they want me any more, either; I broke too many dishes.” “That's one of the things I liked about it,” she said, still laughing. *I suppose my idea of humor is crude, but every time I go to a vaudeville theater 1 always try to pick out one where they have a juggler who smashes dishes. I love it! I think you'd make a wonderful juggler, Mr. Trask.” “I thought it was ‘William’," he re- minded her. “That was for the waiter,” she said. claimed.

Howard Wass.) “You wouldn't expect me to call a ‘waiter ‘mister'?" “No. But now that I'm not a waiter, I rather expect you to call me ‘Billy"." “I might call you ‘Spencer’,” she said, after a pause. “If you ever dare to remind me of Trumbull again 11l — T'll — Say, you're having a lot of fun with me, aren’'t you?" She admitted it with a nod. “All right, Sid, but my time will come.” “It came right then!” she cried. “Don’t you ever let me hear you say ‘SId’ again! T hate it: it makes me hudder. They called me that to tease me when I was a little girl, and ‘ve never got over it.” “Then T'll make It ‘Sidney’ so long ou behave.” “All right. T don't mind. It al ways seemed to me that first names were given to people so that they could be used, anyhow.” Trask remembered something. Ha fished around in a pocket and brought forth the tip received by William, the waiter. “DId you know it was plugged’ demanded. “I suspected it; it didn’t look like a rery good one. 1'd been trying to get vid of it for a long time.” “Why didn’t you give it to Henry?" “Oh, I never give Henry anything less than a dime.” ‘So I'm in the jitney class, am 1?” Well—hm! Well, you see, Henry never carried the rolls in his pocket. But T'll give you a good nickel in ex- change, if you like.” “No, vou won't,” he sald, as he re- stored the coin to hisipocket. “I pre- fer this. Any tlme I'm tempted to believe that you take me seriously 1'll look at ft—and wake up.” “That's not fair. 1 don't always laugh at vou. . But'this morning 3 were awfully funny. Besides, with everybody else wearing solemn faces, it seemed as if somebody ought to do a little laughing. She looked out at the sea again. “It's wonderful” she murmured: “They say it's a real hurricane.” ‘It doesn’t alarm you?" “Why, no! f the officers told me there wasn't any danger. Besides, I expected it."” pected it?" urely. You see, when I went into father's stateroom iast night, just to give his instruments a final little pat, his barometers were ‘way, 'way down and were acting jumpy. I never saw them @o it before, and I knew some- thing was going to happen. I didn't tell the two old ladies, of course; they might have been frightened. But 1 think it's magnificent.” Together they watched the fury outside, and Trask caught something of her'enthusfasm. It was magnifi. cent. The velocity of seemed to increase momentarily, until he marveled that even the stout fabric of the ship could withstand the im- pact. In intervals between the gusts of rain they could see that the ocean was white " as far as the eye could reach, whipped into an endless ex- panse of flylng froth. “I wish we could see another ship,” she said. “Then we'd know just how our own looks. It must be a wonder- ful sight—just like a battle.” “Or an adventure,” he suggested. “Yes, an adventure,” and she nodded soberly as she watched a great as he white wave fling itself out of the veil" of mist and quivering ship. An officer clad from head to foot, in oilskins passed the. porthole through which they looked, clinging cautiously to the hand-rail that ran along the side of the deckhouse. Just beyond them he stopped and stared fixedly out into the storm. Pres- ently he moved on again, with an in- voluntary shake of his head. Would it be safe for us to go on ddck?”" she asked. ‘“They won’'t let us. There's too much water coming aboard.” She sighed and continued to watch the work of the monster gale. arge down upon the A heavy shock sent them both fly- ing against the wall. Krom below came a nolse so ominous that Trask's heart skipped a beat. It was a sound of tearing metal, a wild jangle of machinery, a pounding against the sides of the ship, as though some giant were wielding a sledge upon her. It lasted for severs became suddenly stilled. seconds, then Ought it to? One of| the wind,| Have we struck something?” she sked, quickly. T don’t think so. Wait here. Il see if T can find out.” As he went in search of an officer Trask noticed that a perceptible change had come over the ship. She was rolling sluggishly, heavily, as at last weary of the fight. She was no longer exchanging blow for blow with her furious antagonist, but seemed to be yielding to the on- slaught, bowing her head to the inevitable, It was even more difficult to walk than before, and Trask made slow progress. He was gone for several minutes, and returned to find her still standing at her post. of observation, with look in her eyes that .contained more of curiosity. than anxiety. “‘Not much, I'm afraid, although an officer says they'll probably keep the ship under control. There are two and the other. one is still work Well; what ‘does it mean, then “It means that after this wind blows itself out we'll go on our way to Gal- veston under one, screw. But while this lasts we're actually moving back ward. She wasn't any more than holding her own before it happened.” Sidney was plainly interested, but not_alarmed. ‘ “I knew something was going to happen when I looked at father's pet barometers,” she said, “I think they must have known about the shaft. Father insists they are almost human They're clairyoyants, anyhow. By the did you know that they were ng a shade under 28 this morn- v, it's tremendous! It's an ad- venture all by itself, Any time you see a barometer at 28 -wyou've seen something.. When father hears of this .hurricane ‘he'll almost die.of e morse for haying missed it.” She dréw a deep breath and lwkag up at Trask, her eyes bright wit excitement. 4 “Why, think! she exclaimed. ‘‘Here's father studying weather' all his lite; here's me who doesn’t know anything about it, and doesn’t care much, except when it's interesting. Yet I can look out of this window and see more weather in one minute than father has seen in years and yeas!" “Perhaps vour father will be glad he missed it,” sald Trask, to whom the hurricane seemed & thing to be respected and even drearded. “Not he!”. declared Sidney, dis- dainfully. “Father isn't very big, and thick spectacles, But” —— she drew he's absent-minded, and he wears herself up with an obvious display of pride — “if you will overlook the slang, father is right there!” Trask could belfeve it easily big spirit in the little woman had to be accounted for, somehow. Undoubt- edly, it came from father, even if he was scientific and forgot to catch the ship. Before he realized it, he found him- self making comparisons hetween Sid- ney and the goddess of the first cabin. He wondered which would really the taller if they stood side by now. Despite her lack of physical stature, he had a notion that the daughter of the professor would over- top her sister by at least a head. “I think your father is jmmense," he sald, warmly. “But—of course, it's fina of say it—but you've never even seen him: How can you think that?” “I've seen’ his -daughter, . I.gyess that covers:the case.’ s Sidney flushed faintly. “That’s the second time yvou've paid me a compliment,” she said. “Thank you again. I'm human enough to admit that I like them. Only it's really more of a compliment to fathex than it is to me. In behalf of father, I alsp thank you. No; don't -look at me that way. Honestly, I'm not laughing at you again. I think it’s mighty nice of you to say that you like father just because you've met me. You're not making the least-bit of a mistake, Kverybody likes him. Why, I just love him!" The Gulf Stream was taking the hurricane on her beam rather than in her teeth, for the efforts of a single screw would not suffice to keep her head to the front.. Worried passen- RESORTS.

There was an air of tense expectancy in the cabin; the atmosphere tingled with electric waves of apprehension. In short, there was no doubt that everybody, including the atewards and the ship's officers, were plin scared! Yet Trask was surprised to find himself giving less attention to the perils of ‘the ship under his feet than he was to the vivid and sturdy little slip of a girl who stood hefore him.

By the Assoclated Press. BATAVIA, Java, December Death sentences have been imposed on three of the ringleaders of the in- surgents who recently carried on dis- turbances in Java. A fourth leader of the unsuceessful uprising was sen- tenced to life imprisonment and a fifth to a_term of 20 years. Trial of the ringleaders in the Dis- triet Court of Justice caused the great- est interest in Batavia, and a strong police force was kept ready for any emergency. The disturbances in Java. which oc- .{curred at various points throughout the Dutch colony. caused considerable alarm to the European population, and were suppressed only by force of arms and wholesale arrests. Dr. Kirk Fock, former governor general of the Dutch Hast Indies, on returning from Batavia dscounted fears of a bolshe- vist menace In the colony, saying that it was entirely, erroneous to talk about bolshevisnm and communism in the Dutch Indies, in the sense these termis are understood in Europe.
