At Cape Town, Stevens is superseded as cap- tain by Drake, whose lawyers have purchased the Orontes during its cruise. In his new role of master, Drake becomes cold and dignified in the presence of Mary — sacrl- ficing love for duty. Now he repri- mands Stevens for becoming famil- far with Mary, “I won't have the officer of the watch neglecting his| duty for a passenger,” Drake tells the ex-captain. NOW GO ON\WITH THE STORY Drake spoke evenly, but his black s fixed the mate with a fierce gaze. Stevens met his look, scowled for a moment, then broke into a harsh laugh of contempt, “S8ee here, Captain, Mary is full T take it. She is able to her own preferences and—" “I will take care of that part of the matter,” Drake cut in. “I am responsible for my passenger. And you will please refer to Miss Man- ning by that name. “I will call her Mary!"” stormed Stevens, careless of consequences, heedless of the listening ears stuck | out from the sides of many a sca- | man's head. “I have known that| | girl since she was no bigger than {a cork fender; she calls me her | friend, and I'm Jake to her. Only for you, we'd have—" | “Be careful!” gritted Drake angrl- |1y, “Don't make a show of your | friendship with Miss Manning, Cool | down, and set your grinning men to work., And please follow my wishes | in the matter I have spoken about.” | PR Mary sat on deck all the after-| noon, sunning herself, working with studious care with silken bind- ing and needle upon a border for the sheep-skin that covered her knees. Every now and then she glanced from under lowered lashes at the stalwart figure of Drake as he paced the deck, smoking his | bre: snv&gsslfivf “The less frills you put on.them pelts the bettor they are, Miss Mary.

Stevens had® in truth frightened her more than she would have cared to admit. - She heard all the bells strike, however, for sleep would not come. Seven bells sounded, and soon after some- body came down to awaken the third mate, Then tardy sleep stole in upon her, . Stevens sent the boy to wake Mr. Adams, and pulled the last drop out . of the bottle, He was full of ardor. He knew what sly minxes girls were, especlally when they have a man hanging on a string, He knew how to handle them, too. He stumbled a bit as he walked, but there was sufficient motion to the ship to excuse that even in an able chief mate. “North b’ east, win's steady,” he reported to Adams. “North by east, wind steady, si: repcated Mr, Adams, taking over the watch. He followed Stevens curiously with his eyes as the mate left the deck, and then sniffed sharply. Stevens entered the saloon, and stood still, listening. His own breath was the nolsiest thing in that dim, shadowy place. Creeping along the red carpet he took off his cap and tossed it into his berth; then, with hot ardor blazing in his suffused face he stole to Mary's ‘cabin and softly opened the door. For an Instant he stood in the half opened space, halted by the simple sanctity of the little room. The bulkhead lamp was turned low. A soft half light shone down upon the bed, outlining the girl'’s gently thing breast. Her hair lay loose on the pillow, with one hand en- twined in it. The other hand lay | across her walist, rising and falling as she breathed. And her lips smiled, slightly parted over gleam- ing white teeth. Stevens inhaled a tremendous breath, fighting to keep it inaudible. Stealthily he shut the door behind ENTWINED IN IT. HER HAIR LAY LOOSE ON THE PILLOW, WITH ONE HAND well blackened old briar pipe that had come out from home with his outfit. He looked as near unbending then as had ever looked since takings command. She had to con- fess that he was sincere in his attl- tude toward her. Nobody looking at |him with intent to see things as they really existed would dare deny that Captain Alden Drake was liv- ing only and entirely for the splen- | | did vessel that quivered as if with {Nfe beneath his fect. His eyes flashed with pride, his figure stif- fened with seamanly admiration when he glanced aloft and meas- ured the splendid trim of his ship. | He was courteous, too. Mary| could not deny that. He came to |look at her work many times. He| asked where the skin came and smilingly recalled having seen the sheep, He was kindly, humor-) ous, bantering even; and he could smile down upon her as sunnily as' lie had ever done; hut Mary was not satisfied with that. Any man, would serve, if that were all When Stevens appeared, coming | on deck for a walk after his sleep, | she beckoned to him. He hesitated | with a queer grin on his ruggedly | zood looking fa lancing towards Drake. | “I want your advice about this, Mister Stevens” she cried. "Oh, don’t mind the captain. He only growls when I speak to the officer of the watch, Wait.

She shivered under his | gaze; she was conscious that Drake came to the rail above them every few minutes, but appeared to take no notice of them. Jake's fingers met hers in the soft fleece, and she tried to draw hers away, but he gripped them passionately, and muttered so that only her ears heard: “So's T know how you feel about that, Mary, he can go plumb to' hell!” You come up and talk to ne tonight, see?” He stepped on the ladder again, turning midway to call out, as & covering lle: trouble, Mary?” he joining her, from, | , him, and stole to the bed. The faint perfume that lingered about her night clothes drove him to complete frenzy. Swift as a tiger's leap, and as certain, he slipped his great arms around her warm, slim body, and drew her flercely to him. Swiftly her sleep-laden eves opened, to meet his hot gl Her red lips opened wide in terror. Savagely he crushed her to him, pressing his lips to hers, stifiing her outery; scorching her with the hot breath that issued hissingly from his nos- trils, CHAPTER XVIII Stress and Storm “I've got you, you little witch!” Jake whispered hoarsely. He raised his face to gloat upon her, mad- @ened by the thrill of her breast 1inst his own. And terrified, Mary screamed. It seemed but an instant before Ike Saintly stood in the doorway, white faced, fiery eyed. Only an in- stant more and Drake burst in, white as the steward, murderous. | Jake still held the girl in his arms, her frightened face peered over his shoulder, his own flushed visage and passionate eyes, half turiied, glared t the intruders like an animal from a trap. Frightened as she had been, awakened out of slumber to find herself fast in the arms of a man, her lips crusheds violently against lips that stank of liquor, all womankind's - quick wits flew to Mary's aid in that moment of im- ! minent disaster. As If shown to her | in a flash of light, she realized that she had played with very inflam- | mable material in encouraging Jake Stevens. The smell of liquor, too, explained much, That she was watched over better than she knew was proved to her eternal satisfac- tion by the astoundingly swift ap- pearance of the steward and Drake, She was unharmed, and.Jake Stev- ens was, after all, one of the oldest of her friends.
