And, most disturbing of all things, there was a subtle doubt in her heart now whether she iron or steel to endure. It was a new doubt, conceived and born within the brief space of time that rolling sea took to upset things. And it fright- ened her as she had never felt fright- ened before. “T'll see you damned!’ repeated Jake Stevens, and swung on his heel with finality in every line of his big body and bold head. “At six bells, Miste: will bring an apology to said Drake { me even tone. “Otherwise, complete the Passage in the forecastle.” Stevens flashed around at that. But Drake had gone below as h ered the words, scarcely noticing she cowered in the dim companion- way. As for Mary, she shrank as far from him as she could. then, terrified by the appailiing sense of calamity which overwhelmed all her earller fears and made them seem chiklish, she ran out on deck and gripped Stevens by the arm. She saw “Oh, Jake, don't start more trou-| Die!" she pleaded, and the eyes which she raised to his astonished face were brimming over. “What do you care?" he retorted with a bitter laugh. “You want to see that dude walk hobnafled over | me, don’t you?" “I care more than you Jake,” she persevered. didn't tell him to go to hell when he | think, | I believe 1| RS QIONTS QFSLOVE 1 Vick Ine friendsh but evil thing. far i from the ship p while the shining - cloak It was the raw, keer Jake made I war time ne something his manner | chair laying a hand as ligt her shoulder. his blue ing with Mary.

She went in to supper dressed as if for a gay party. Drake, thrilled with her sparkling} vivacity, yet resented those few mo- ments she had spent on deck. He knew quite well what it must have cost the mate to make that grum- biing apology awhile ago. Yet Mary ought to know that he did not like her to break his rule about speaking to the mate while on watch. “Mary,” he started to say, must not—" “Oh, just a minute!’ she inter- rupted him, springing up and run- ning to her cabin.
