The urge, which had taken him_ to sea on leaving school, had never left him. He had left the sca. That, he now belleved, had been a mistake. The sea was in his blood. Even where his horizon was bound- ed by terraces of dull brick and sooty trees, his mostrills over quiv- ered questioningly whenever the wind blew from the eastward. To the eastward lay the muddy river, and the docks, and the ships; shps and the ports where Romance still beckoned to bold youth, He stood awhilp at the gateway of his house, nostrills all a-tingle, his black eyes a-glitter, a discordant | grin of discontent marring the good- humored lines of his strong mouth. He had come from golf, and there was a trace of contempt in . the fashion of his unslinging and drop- ping the bag of clubs he carried. The big house which he called liome was one of those stately old places which always secem to have had owners provided for them as | they were bullt, stone by stone, by {imber; owners to fit | their dignity, growing, maturing as the years mellowed them. And Al- | den Drake had the looks and the | dignity to fit smoothly into the groove worn so unbrokenly by his | immediate forbears. Trouble was, |they failed to fit him. In externals | he was part of the picture, His face {was brown and clean shaven, his brown and well kept, 'hn golf toggery was brown and of | fine tailoring; and all appeared in lexquisite harmony with the fine old house within the gate. But there was that glitter in his eyes, that vague something about his mouth | | which jarred the harmony. He turned in and flung the gate | |to with a harsh irom- clang which ,ntarund a pair of fat horses just -tromng past dragging an old-fash- 'lonui low chaise. The discontent ! fled from his face, glving way to a “OH, DEAR — THAT HO CAPTAIN A.E.DINGLE® HTS QESERVED.

Then he could form pictures, It was an old trick of his. He saw quite sharply clear the ple- ture of those fat old nags hauling that fat little low chariot, And the copper-bronze leathery face of the old gentleman with the gray wmuk-‘ ers. “A seaman, that,” he decided. | The face of the girl was not quite clear cut. He purposely permitted that vision to remain vague. He wanted to put in something of his own there, But he started with her brown hair, which might hold gold- en glints, His picture stopped short of the ears, But her eyes had_been blue, He vividly recalled how Trostily blue they had been; like the clear blue of an iceberg in shadow, They were shadowed with anger, but he knew they would be gloriously blue, with ocean's own blue, hen fat old horses and human events went placidly. How well that deep blue would go with her color! . At seven o'clock he was dressed and ready to go down, He knew his guests were arriving. But on his way down he entered his den again. He felt uncomfortable. He never liked entertaining, but never before ! had his dislike taken the bitter turn it seemed to have taken now. He felt as if he simply could not play host, even to save a reputation for courteous hospitality. He loaded up his pipe again, flung wide the east- ern window, and stood puffing quick little smoke balls out into the night. There was a suggestion of fog creep- | ing up from the river. The street lights, and the lamps of moving ve- hicles were blurred and yellow. There was a tang in the air, too. A vague, salty tang. RRID TOBACCO AGAIN!" ‘pr‘nuine smile of amusement. Those horses looked as it nothing short of a cataclysm could startle them, so fat they and so staid. He realized how tremendously he must slammed gate to startle m, for they regained their stead- | iness in a moment, trotting placidly on. It was one of the two occupants whose tranquillity was less easily restored, and the innocent offender | | raised his eyebrows surprisedly at the turbulen od of deep water expletives that issued from some- | chere in the thick gray beard of a | urdy, copper-bronzed gentleman of | nautical aspect. Alden was about to his voice in apology; he raised | cap inst and stared with | sharper inte at the other occu- pant of the chaise, the driver, who, | her horses again in hand, turned a fair face full of haughty reproof upon the cause of her brief discom- fort Then the equipage turned the corner of the road, and Alden went in were, hay the As he bathed and lounged, smok- ing a rich old briar pipe, relic of his prentice days at gca, he scowled impatiently at the thought of the evening before him. His duty to So- ciety ordered that he play host to a ponderous dinner party. “There'll be Patty, all set to flirt,” he growled. “Cacsar! How I hate| that perfume she drenches herself | with! Bilge! Phah! She'll call me Alden, dear! Oh Lord! And that| cute little trick, Celeste. Thirty- cight, if she’s a day.

The youthful cynic knocked out| his pipe, refilled it, and flung him- self into' a deep lounge cbair tof smoke another round before his man to fix him up for lhc! evening. The second pipe always made him see a gleam of nunshine‘ behind the stormiest of horizons.| There flashed before him now the thought of an indignant feminine face, the prettily angry face of the| gir] who drove those two fat. lazy | horses. He smiled more brightly. That face hadg flashed across | his vision for an instant, yet he re-| i came o | living. He stood there, nev dinner gong. The den was filling up with emoke and fog. The fog outside grew denser. He was lost in himself until the door opened. and his aunt burst in protesting. “Alden, dear! Are you #1? Your gucsts! Oh dear! That horrid to- bacco again! Why, Alden, this is a shame, upon my word it is! positively reck, reek of that beastly old pipe. Come down, do. But you must really use some perfume to- night! Here!" Alden stole away at the first op- portunity and reveled in the dank fog along with his pipe, defying auntie and all her kind. Like many another scion of good family, Alden had gone to sea upon leaving +school. When the lordly clipper ship reigned on the sea, sons of rich fathers as well sons of tradesmen served an apprenticeship in sail simply for the experience. Few stayed on Many never made first voyage. Alden his four years, life. He had been a good sailor, too. He had secured his secomd mate's ticket at first attempt. And since there was no hurry for him to settle down at home, and since he would not have to worry about earning a he stayed on in the grand Patriarch until he passed to first mate and then master in turn. Then, inheriting his fortune, he had quit the sea. Quit it professionally, that is. He had built another arch for his pleasuring; a smart brigantine yacht capable of cruls- ing the world around; and he close to command her himself.
