At my unexpected interruption, Lilllan did not change a muscle of her face, but she looked at me steadlly for several seconds before she replied. “I know you never offer services you do not wish to give,” she said, at last. “But are you not a little rash this time in inviting me to bring this girl to the farmhouse?

When I remember what a melodrama-loving soul is housed in your mother-in-law's body, T can sce how this girl's sad plight may help her to forget her own troubles, But — Dicky hasn't any troubles to forget.” “I'm not so sure of that,” T found the words upon my lips, but choked them back just in time, for the sus- picion T had of my husband's finan- | clal difficulties was not one Which 1 could reveal to Lilllan especially | when 1 only had the vaguest trifles as a b for my conjectures. For- | tunately, Lilifan was not looking at me at the moment, and I was able nce to a smoothly nding substitute by the time her eyes met mine again. “Rut he's planning to get away from the farm for a while, any- way,” I sald. “He has an unusual amount of work on hand this fall and he's going to camp down in the studio and see what he can accom- plish.” “This Is Made to Order” “T never knew a faster when he sets himself about it,"” Lil- lian commented a bit Then she straightened herself while her face brightened “Why, this is made to order!"” she exclaimed, “I should be suspicious 1ces that s of of so perfect a set of coincid id T not know how incapab! ingrowing consclence of yours is tarradiddles — at any rate, of any that T can't see through,” she added with a provoking grimace. “I'm go- ing to accept your invitatlon with | Lillian expected sometl three low obeisances. “Now for ways and means. worker | I¥- | at the hospital | railroad train again.

Too much at stake,'But — {f you couid meet me somewhere be- tween the city and Marvin, pre- pared to drive the rest of the way out to the farm, it would cut the expense of the trip down materlally and would avoid a stop at the Dur- ke something unthinkable in view of present cenditions there.” “When do you want to leave here?” 1 asked. *As early tomorrow as you con- venlently can make it,” she an- swered Tlte girl must rest to- nt, but I am anxious to get her led in some quiet place as soon as I possibly can." Madge's Anxiety T sensed an anxiety greater than her apparently casual words admit- ted. That she feared the girl might become seriously ill at any minute, 1 was sure, and the thought spurred my witis to the best plan Icould give her. “Of course, you want me to stay here tonight,” I sald, “both because of Marion and the fact that you may need me with your protegee. But there {8 a very early train out to Marvin, which I can take, and which will enable me to get back with the car to, let us say Forest Hills—" I paused for her judg- ment. ‘Exceltent,”” she ‘Couldn’t be better.” “At nine o'clock,” T went on, “Is that too early for you? “Indeed, no,” she replied. “You're seventeed tangerinos rolled into one. Will you bring anyone with you?" “Only Junior,” I said. *“Mother Graham really isn't fit for the trip interposed, just yet and Katie can be of great | deal of service to Mrs. Durkee. T fancy we can manage the house- keeping for a day or two with the aid of Mrs. Tigue in an emergency.” “Of course,” she assented eager- “Then everything is all set and get to bed early tonight, so W absently.® that yow'll have some rest for that Paul Revere ride of yours. Oh, by the way, is Katherine on or of duty released , if she ‘I believe she's to be from her case - hasn't taken a new one,” I replied. “Do you suppose we could get her on the telephone at the hospi- tal now?" she asked, and T regis- tered again the impression that unusual condltion of the to develop in the T! wait she had rescued.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Alden Drake, formerly a sallor, grown soft and flabby through a lite of idle ease, ships aboard the clipper Orontes as “boy,’ under the command of: Jake Stevens, whose enmity he fncurs because of a mutual love for— Mary Mannifk, daughter of the owner, who is a passenger. At Cape Town Captain Stevens is super- | seded as captain of the Orontes by Drake, whose lawyers "have pur- chased the vessel during its cruise, Drake s forced to trounce Stevens and then, paradoxically, he saves the ex-captain's life from the hands of a crowd of drunken miners in Cape Town. The fight bétwcen the miners and Drake and Stevens is long and furious, but the Orontes men are victorlous. Now Stevens meekly accepts Drake as master. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY On the day before sailing Drake took Mary oft to some old friends at Rondebosch, and told the mate he might permit ‘the men to run ashore in two watches, so long as all were aboard by nightfall, Adams and Twining stood by, waiting for orders as to the division of the liberty men, and Stevens somberly followed with his darkling eyes the departing figures of the captain and his passenger. Two or three sea- men loitered nearby, hoping to get first shore leave. When the skip- per's hoat touched the steps, Stev- ens abruptly underwent a sharp transformation. He raised his fists, and the grinding of his teeth sound- ed like the grinding of clear ice on rock, “‘She’ It by Heaven, and mine she ehall be gritted Stevens in a gale of passion, and the two other mates drew back amazed at the depth of feeling in | the man. His paroxysm passed over | quickly, and he gave orders calm- ly; but sailors running forward to get ready for a shore jaunt carried | joytul news of a chief mate who was hot against the Old Man. . s e Drake turned and smiled at Mary, and she started toward him all brightness and rosy warmth. But his smile was not what she expect- ed; it was the courteous smile of a FEBRUARY 16, 1025, CAPTAIN A E.DINGLE® A ST A Sa e LoV e mine! Mine by every law | of right and justice! By every hu- | man and divine right she's mine, v ance. She had heard of such men. It truth were told, she admired the man who could sacrifice all for duty, But Mary was a feminine woman. And what ‘woman ever lived who wouldn't feel enraged if her own man sacrificed her own company for his duty? Her lips were prim and pressed as she took out her father's letter from her book and glanced over parts of it again, “Mr, Drake offered such a price for the Orontes that T could not re- fuse,” Captain Manning wrote. “He | must have plenty of dibs, Mary. He can't make a profit on the ship, paylng the price he did. But g cording to his lawyer, profits don't bother him. Apparently he was at sea before, and never quite lost the fever. Oh well, wish him luck. T am assured that none of the officers I had will lose in the least, unless they choose to turn cranky toward Captaln Drake.,” At the end of the letter, where a sallor would put such news, these .lines seemed to Mary to be written in dancing flames, “By the way, my girl, I'm not trying to-influence you, but Drake”s lawyer asked my permission for Drake to court my daughter. If he does, and you find him spliceable, 1 won't put snarls in the hitch.” Mary gazed out over the rolling sea. “Oh, T find him spliceable! I feel like splicing him with a marline- spike right now!” she breathed. CHAPTER XVI A Present from Jake Many currents and counter cur- rents raise high seas off the Cape of Good Hope. Agulhas seas are the mgst awe-inspiring of any seas, wien they rise in their majesty. But the Agulhas currents were not more intricate or perilous than the human cross currents that ebbed and flowed aboard the Orontes. Mary had gladly given her malden troth to Alden Drake on a never- to-bé-forgotten night in the flower jewel®d suburb of Rondebosch. The kiss he had pressed upon her lips still burned. She sti)l shivered ecstatically when she recalled the moment coming home when he swept her into his strong arms and all but crushed her to his heart. Mary was no soldler of fortune in Love's campaign. Drake was her captain for his favored passenger. He passed Inside the chartroom and began to pore over the chart. “Last night he was the perfect lover!” she breathed, angrily. “I suppose it was wine!” When Drake finished his chart work, he took down a volume of Salling Ocean and sat down as if he ex- pected to stay there for hours. Mary turned away in a temper. She went to the breakfast table all primed and loaded for the face to face explanation she meant to demand from Captain Alden Drake. He came down all smiles and pride. Her wrath was swept away as a fresh breeze dissipates smoke. He looked ruddy afd clean; the bruises and scars of battle wers no more than very masculine cmbel- lishments to his handsome, strong face. “I thought youw had forgoiten me, or considered me bencath your au- gust notice,” she challenged him. He touched her. hand lightly aud laughed. “I could mot forget you, Mary,” he said; “and as for being boncath my notice, you know that cannot I be, either. You forgot it was notice of you which first of all drew me down to the Docks. | She looked shagply at him. There | was something about his words and |tone which puzzled her. And last night she had thrill2d {1 her very innermost fibre to the ardor of his passion. “You're not under the weather, are you?” she asked. Good Lord, no! Never feit better in all my life! Do let me give some more omelette. Do you the ship leap? he's out for ord to Java Head, Mary. 'l you feel [a r | show you what she can do with a sailing Corinthian to drive her. No haven't more omelette? Jove! you the appetite of & canary. (e When Mary sat in her deck chair Mrs, to wish to take the wi ng st away from Lady Lindy! Now you hurry and scoot for home before I give you a hard | thump!” And of course the witch scooted as fast as e could, for she knew her ten cent store magic charms were all that her magic w all. Then Raggedy Ann and Raggely Andy and Lady Lindy all thanked the funny little man and invited him to have ice cream and chocolate cake with them. | And as it only took Lady Lindy soaking wet and ould not work at & moment to wish for it, in two minutes had forgotten all about the mean, ugly little old Mrs. | Qrendit, after breakfast, making a pretense at reading, sbe wondered if this first day at sca was a fair example of the many other days that must pass before Java Head was rounded, even suppoging a record to be made, “Why, heé's no more to me or I to him than simply captain and passenger!” she angrily told her- |'se1f. Perhaps unwittingly she had stumbled upon the exact, situation Captain Drake might hold so rigid Iy to the religion of duty as to con- sider her nothing but a passenger lwhne his ship called for his viglle Directions for the Indian| first love. She had never known | what love meant until she felt as it she were melting deliciously in his arms, her body and soul merg- ing into his. But that first lesson was all sufficient to her. She was a woman full grown, of full and warm passions; no longer inexpér- fenced, /since she was of the kind one lesson teaches thoroughly, If the teacher were able to téuch the right chord, as Alden Drake had ' been able to. So she was not satisfled with the way matters developed after the | ship got. to sea. That first day had been a chilly expérience to her. She | had forced herself to patience, knowing that salling day was ever | an ordeal to a new captain. But she | had expected, had every right to [ expect, that when the day was done, and evening found the ship running| | free over long, easy swells that gave | | nobody the Jeast uneasiness, her lover would lay aside his prim dig- nity and become again the human being she had surrendered to. But Alden Talbot Drake had shown an amazing change of front. She drew him gently over to the leeward, into the soft black shadow of the clew of the migzen course, her hands| clasped on his arm. She looked up into his face shyly. Surely a girl might look for a kiss; an embrace. Drake patted her hand, drew her nearer to him, and she shivered rapturously. | “This is the sort of night which | makes even a sallor lowd ‘he sea.” | he said softly, She waited, nertling closer. She didn't like that talk of loving the sea so well, but she was | not one of the forward sort. Love | of any sort was promising. But the kiss came not. Nor the embrace. “Alden!” she sald softly, but with a little note of displeasure “What is it, Mary? Shail | your coat?” (To Be Continu | 1 get 1) A Safe and for Colds, Grip and Influenza.
