Nevertheless be did as he was told. The Ulger instantly recognized the changed technique and growled. The Up of his tall twitched, but other- wise he did not move.

When you: came to think of it, it was another| Sreat moment. It was really a great-' er moment than the first, and far more promising ot future thrills, You can only kill one tiger once, but you can scratch a live tiger's, head a dozen times a day if you f2el, like it, and he will let you. One of the crew had made a fine | medicine ball out of cotton r>p and to begin the day Bowers and Flint threw this at each other, caught it, and threw it back until both were in a lather. Flint was wiry and tough, but Bowers had real power and enjoyed usin; it. He propelled the medicine ball with great force, and the fact that Flint could not return it with equal force rankled in the wireless man's breast, Flint had fallen head over ears in love with Ivy and was not able to hide his feelings. If he.di@ not pester her with his attentions, it was be cause the opportunities were lack- ing. During most of the daylight. hours the menagerie kept her en- grossed, When she rested, it was in one of: the lounge chairs, and Bowers was nearly always to be found in the other one. poaen. wherever Ivy was to be found at a given time, Bowers was seldom far off. Flint could not make love ty her at mealtimes or over the bridge table, and later when Ivy changed to pyjamas and went for- ward to her sleeping place in the bows, followed by Lowers at a short interval and sometimes accompa- nied by him, the wireless operator suffered with the intensity of a jeal- ous child. . Observation taught him that the animal trainer was not in love with the big-game hunter, but this was no proof that the charm and intelli- gence of the older man would not win her i» the long run. If Bowers was in earnest, as Flint was begin- Sing to think, it dic not seem cred- ible that any young woman could hold out against him forever. Flint had never been in love be- fore. The passion bewildered and baffled him. At times he would fee! murderous, at times suicidal, at times bereaved and aching with melancholy. He began to sutfer from a form of insomnia. He would prowl about the ship for hours of the night. If only he could have changed places with Bowers, To watch over her and protect her was his idea of heaven. Often the jealousy in his heart drew him forward. Sometimes Ivy and Bow- ers would be awake, and he would héar the sounds of their voices, casual and even humorous. The bows were @ black triangle against the night. it was a black- ness into \.Lich no eye however srtaining could pierce, Flint strained his eyes and stretched his ears, but something. withhel¢ him from going close enough te overhear what was being said. If he could have over heard :he usual talk, he could per- haps have gone bac? to his mattress outside the wireless-room and slept. He micgit have heard some such conversation as this: Bowers perhaps is awske and thinks that {i would be much pleas- anter if {vy wer> awake too. Per haps she is. He will find out. He re- marks in a voice that is neither loud nor a whisyer: “It’s botter than Sell.” Ivy responds with: “Don’t interrupt me. I’m count- ing.” “Counting what?” “Sheep.” Against the dark velvet of the night, sprinkled with stars, the b triangle of the bows rises aud fai's with a kind of slow cosmic fad: ference.
