He is the most trying boy in the class.”"—Stray Storfes. Outof a Shipwrecked Past The cattlemen aboard the big trans- Atlantic liner looked with disfavor upon the parties of saloon passengers who come between decks to watch them feed and water the steers. They resented the intrusion, and the evi- dent curiosity of these beings from a world wholly alien from their experi- ence. Perhaps it was the look upon Mayne'’s face that struck the girl who had lingered behind. “You—you don't like us to come here?” she asked timidly. He shrugged his shoulders. “If the sight of our poverty and menial labor affords you satisfaction—yes, madam.” “You speak like a gentleman,” said the girl, looking at him curfously. “I used to be one,” he answered in- differently. She still stood looking at him. He had a refined face, but an embittered expression on it. He was perhaps thirty years of age. She looked at his hands; they were white, but hard- ened by toil. Undoubtedly he had been a gentleman. Mayne, for the first time, raised his eyes to hers. She saw now that there was a furtive expression in them, as though the man wished to hide something—as if he were ashamed of something. He saw a pretty girl of about twenty-five, fash- ionably dressed, but a little hard, he thought. They watched each other, while the cattle lowed and the wran- gling voices of the cattlemen in the fo'e’stle seemed to blend into harmony with the throbbing screw and plash of the waves. “It ia never too late to change,” said shortstop position.

Yes, I chose de- liberately to herd with men of this stamp, because—here alone I find frankness, loyalty, friendship. I—" He broke off suddenly and looked moodily at her. “Tell me,” the girl whispered. “He was my friend, and she—well, y we had known each other all our lives ;and were engaged to be married. }1 came home unexpectedly and found that he had betrayed me. | That is all. It happened five years { ago. But about the same time my trustee robbed me of my fortune. That was why she was false. If it | had been love for him I could have forgotten. So I disappeared from my world and chose this one. Now run away to your friends, little girl, and play,” he sneered brutally. He might as well have sneered at one of the patient cattle, for all the effect it had. “And you think that you are free?" she asked. “You have no sense of law, of citizenship, of public duty?” “Hardly,” he said, scoffing. “Yes, Wwe are free equally, you in your gild- ed luxury, and I in my comradeship with the outcasts of the world.” “I free?" she cried, beginning to laugh. He heard the catch in her throat and his eyes softened mo- mentarily. “Listen, then. We shall , never meet again, and I can tell you 1 what I cannot tell anybody else. My ( father is many times a millionaire.” 1 “Yes, that can be seen,” he said, looking at her dress, her jewels. He saw the flush creep up under her skin. His penetrating glance seemed to dissect her. “You know the lives of us women?” The Secret of a Good F she asked. “Or you have read of them, at any rate. And what ome reads is underestimated, not exag- gerated. I have never had a moment’s freedom in my life, not since I was a little girl, playing with my dolls. “At school 1 was smothered with at- tentions. At home I was suffocated with nurses, companions I hated, chosen for their wealth and rank. | Later I was decked out, sent to & finishing school, all my nature cramped and hardened by luxury and convention. And I always longed for my emancipation. “Do you know what we women have | to look forward to? Marriage. That is all. And we are not free to choose. My father is not unkind to me, but he understands nothing. It is not he who traded me, but convention again. It is the pressure of circumstances, of environment, more terrible than physical force. SoIam traded for the coronet of a viscount. That is why I am going to England—to marry him. And it I could be a man and free as you are free, then only could I begin to live.

He dreamed of her during the long night, when the cattle ship pitched and tossed heavily in the trough of the channel, and the blinding fog came dowh. The timbers of the old ship groaned as the waves buffeted her.' At his post the captain strained to catch sight of the Foreland lights. Suddenly, with a crash that sent every timber jarring, the Iliner stopped, shivered, and keeled over.f The shock sent the cattlemen flying from their bunks. They rushed out| into the open space between the pens. ‘ From the upper deck came cries and | the sound of seamen running. Wom- en began to scream. Through the haze loomed up the squat form of a collier. There was no possibility of mistak- ing what had happened. The liner, rushing at full speed through the fog, had struck the collier, not with her bow, but amidships, a glancing blow which had ripped her outer sheath nearly halfway from the bow. She was keeling lower—she would g0 under within a few minutes. There were no water-tight partitions on the old ship, and, if there had been, they would have been of little aid in such a situation, i After the first confusion the cattle- men gathered between decks and walted. Outcasts as these men were, they had the discipline of the sea. They did not know that Mayne was lying unconscious upon the fo'c'stle floor, where he had been flung by the shock. They waited quietly enough, listening to the racket overhead. The seamen were trying to lower the boats. But those on the port side were near the water, those on the starhoard unable to be launched ow- ing to the angle of the vessel. The passengers had been assem- bled. The stewards were running hither and thither with litebelts. The grimy faces of the stokers appeared above the ladder. The fires had al ready been flooded. Fortunately the cattle ship carried few passengers. Even the port boats sufficed to contain them. The collier had backed away and megaphoned through the fog. Order was restored out of chaos. Even the cattlemen were remembered. Only, before all could be taken away, the ship keeled over and dlis- appeared in the swirling waters. As she went down the tilting deck slid Mayne into the water. The shogk of the immersion revived him; he found himself gasping and battling for lite in a whirlpool g?%eflowfni cat- tle and floating planks from the pens. He managed to catch one and sup- ported himself. Over the invisible water came cries and screams, which gradually grew fainter. He was awake now. He knew what had occurred. It was strange that at that moment he thought, not of his past love so dishonored, but of the girl he had seen. And, as he pictured her, he saw her face painted upon the drifting haze, Another instant and he was staring into her eyes. She was clinging to the keel of an upturned boat, which had been swept down into the rapids, carrying its in- mates to destruction in the swamp of the liner. How she had lived through those moments of agony she never knew; she thought afterward | | I8 WHEN YOU FIGURE ON BUILDING, COME IN § AND LET US FIGURE WITH YOU ON YOUR BUILD- § { ERS’ HARDWARE. 3 ) BUT BEFORE YOU COME IN KNOW THAT YOU § § WILL FIND OUR BUILDERS’ HARDWARE TO BE CORRECT IN{STYLE AND HIGH IN QUALITY.

He saw her upturned face and swam toward her. A moment later he was clinging to the boat beside her, supporting her. He climbed upon the keel and pulled her up after him. She sank back into his arms Day broke and the fog drifted away. Upon the horizon appeared the white sails of a fishing schooner. She was bearing down upon them. The girl lifted her haggard face. “All my past, all I have, my family, l my friends were on the ship—in the boat that went down,” she said. “And my past—" he began. “Listen!” he cried flercely. “I want | to live again, a new life, untroubled by any thoughts of the past.
