One night he slips away from a party at his houge and makes his way to Sallor- town, anclent rendezvous of men who follow the'sea, where he meets up with little— Joe Bunting, a sailor, They drink each other off their feet in a bar- room, and Drake is carried up- stairs, presumably to be shanghaled next morning aboard the Orontes. Drake hears himself depounced by— Captain Stevens of the Orontes as being not even fit for shanghal- ing. Drake mutters: “This is too much of a good thing” — and marches through the door of the room in which he was thrown the night before. At the threshold he stops, however, upon hearing a woman's volce. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY In the passage three people walk- ed slowly by, two men, and a gifl. | “Bo it's as well you were delayed over the men,” a deep, puzzlingly unstrange voice was saying. I shouldn’t, have brought Mary into ,& den llke this; but time is short, (and you must sall today, “Oh, please don't worry about E.A, SR me,” answered the girl's volce, “It's fun. T wanted to see — Oh, look!" | the voice dropped to a stage whis- per. “There's a man in there!" |~ Drake groaned silently. He want- “ed to take a square look at the | owner of that volce, It was a rich, liquid, bappy voice. It sent a queer ripple along his throat. But he dared not take his arms from his face, He knew, by the next voice, that they had passed on. “All the men are aboard but one, Captain Manning.” This was Steveps epeaking. “I'll have a man in half {an hour, The crimp tried to send | me a putty dude.” The fellow laugh- |ed discordantly. Evidently playing | to the glr], thought Drake. “If you | saw it, Miss Mary, you'd want it for |a dolly, but you'd have to wash it | first. | "Are you speaking about & man?" | came the girl's voice, eool and un- | appreciative. Drake never could de- | cide, even years later, whether the | girl meant that to be frosty, or was ' having fun with Stevens too deep for his understanding. Now they were coming past the door again, | *“Tried to dump the dude onto | me, sir. T hammered him well.” “Who, the dude?’ queried the girl, sharply. “Hush, child! Let Mister Stevens get through. Time's short, “cut in Captain Manning. “The crimp,” said Stevens. o € would feel like & child beater if I hit that double left handed thing in said the captain im- patiently. ‘Never mind the dude. You get your ship warped out to the pierhead whether you have a tull complement or not. You'll lose the rest if you don't.” The trio wer: right at the door. Drake simply had to peep. “I have done all that's needed in change of masters. You'll take the Orontes out to Batavia. Take good care of Mary, and see her safely to her brother's place. |I'll get the business that's keeping | me ashore all settled by the time you get back. Then we'll talk about what's to be done.” Drake’s first peep showed him the thick gray bearded, copper-bronzed old gentfeman of nautical aspect whose fat chaise horses he had startled with his clanging gate, His next was more than a peep, for he raised his head, and loc%ed straight nto the wide blue eyes of the girl who had handled those frightened horses. He shuddered, He wanted, as he had wanted no other thing in life, to show that clean, se|f-possessed young lady that he belonged to a clean race, too. He wanted to tell her some thing, He could still hear her voice He could hear the deep rumbling tones of her father, if Captain Man ning were her parent; hear too the blatant, confident roar of Stevens He hated Stevens more than ever Stevens apparently was to sail mas- ter of the Orontes clipper; with Marry Manning as passenger. Stev- ens, a brute, a manhandler who set himself up a judge of a man's value {as a man “He says Shanghaiing! argue that with him But how? Drake took steps to pecp outside *again. If he could just catch Mister Stevens alone for a moment, with that girl out of the way, he would see. The big blond beast might batter a clumsy cus- | tomer like the crimp, slow moving, worth like to I'm not Caesar! even rd “DON'T BE FUNNY. HOW MUCH?" slow thinking, a creature of one idea. But Drake had known the day when he could handle himself above & bit.

Have a good holiday with Jack, and he'll bring you home when he ecomes. I'll write you at Cape Town.” Drake followed stealthily. His hopes were dashed, for the three left the place together and walked towards the docks. He stood on the sun bathed pavement, staring after them. Then he hurried down the quieter side street, The sight of three gild- ed balls over a grimy ‘window full of knives, pistols, sextants, ship | models, and curios from all the |seven seas rounded out a resolve which set his pulse bounding again. He slipped inside, ‘How much, Uncle?” he demand- ed, producing his gold fob watch. “Vhere'd y' pinch it?" returned Uncle, a jeweler's glass in one sharp eye alongside a battleship's ram of a beak, “Don’t be tunny, How much?” ‘Tt got @ name in jt. 'Tain't vort' much. Gif y' arf quid fob an' all.” “How much can I buy a suit of dungarees and a shirt for?” “T'ree arf crowns.” Drake mentally calculated. had to ‘send a telegram, “Give me a good palr of stout | shoes for these togs and pumps, and | we'll make the deal,” he said. “I want the odd half crown cash.” Rearrayed in blue dungaree, shod with wooden pegged shoes, still | minus a cap, Drake almost ran un- | til he found a telegraph o oce. | There he spent fifteen precious min- | utes coding & message to his lawyer.
