ICHI, a dandified Japanese, sits at Smatt’s table. While Ichi sreviously has been closeted with Smatt, a supposed book agent who Martin later learns is LITTLE BILLY, a hunchback, steward of the bri yarently fries to sell a “Compendium of Knowledge.” iowever, lets his eyes rove all over Cohasset, ap- he book agent, the place as he talks, His attempt it a sale is interrupted by Smatt’s summons. When Blake, with the envelope in his pocket, re-enters the main part of Smatt’s office he has tsense of some one’s having just left. That night, on his errand, Blake encounters THE BOSUN OF THE COHASSET, aleoholically mournful over the disappearance of Little Billy, with whom he had started out to buy 1 birthday present for the brig’s ‘ ‘blessed little mate.” When Blake refers to Ichi and Carew, the Bosun, a gigantic, h-less Englishman, be- comes suddenly belligerent. ARTIN did not await the on- slaught. He dashed out the door and boarded a passing street car, He sank thank- fully Into a seat, aglow with his ad- enture. Something to remember, that \ffair with the weeping boatswatn! But what was the fellow #0 sullen about? Thus did Martin consign the poat- swain to the limbo of memory. He was inside the street car, so he did not see the automobile, driven by a figure in gray overcoat and cap, that drew up at the curb beside the boatswain. Nor did he observe that automobile's consequent strange behavior in per- sistently keeping half a block behind the slowly moving street car the whole distance to the water front ‘The clock on the tower of the Ferry Building showed fifteen minutes past 9 when Martin dropped off the car at the foot of Market Street. He had plenty of time—tt was then forty-five minutes till 10 o'clock. He turned and walked slowly northward along the Embarcadero. Pedestrians became few, mainly straggling seamen, bound for their ships, Across the way, the steamers at the wharves were smaller, and here ahd there loomed the spars of a sail- ing vessel, a“delicate tracery upon the blue-black starlit sky. Martin epeculated upon these last. He wondered what the brig Cohasset was like, He wondered what the “blessed little mate’ was like. He visioned that surprising person who had such influence over rough boat- swains—a prim little man with mut- ton chop whiskers, he decided. So musing, Martin came to a by- oireet divided two warehouses. He crossed the alley, but lingered on the far curb, ‘The alley was dark, but he noticed some distance down it, the outline of an automobile standing with lights hooded, He had a passing wonder at the presence of an apparently de- serted machine {tn such a location, but {t was a subconscious interest. The next street, he knew, was Green Btreet. Those lights that .shone on the next corner must mark his destination, the Black Cruiser saloon. He pulled out his watch; still five and twenty moments before 10 o'clock. As he stood there under a dim light consulting his timepiece, there came to his ears, out of the darkness just ahead, a voice, a rich and throaty tenor, singing an ancient, lilting, deep sea chantey.

Tom asked “Tam the King of Cereal Elves and I have come to take you to my mills fields," sald the little man “Come, but first I must make you small.’ He touched Tom with his wand and off they started : They walked and walked and walked. ‘Tom thought he had walked for miles and miles, he was so tired, He walked slower and the elf noticed this, so he said: ‘Are you ti Tom said he was, 80 the elf told him to jump on until they came to a dark passage aid the elf. ‘Tom felt himself rolling a peek, but couldn't see anything, and Dear Cousins 0° Mine: We are going to print Thanksgiving number of the Kiddie lub Korner and I want to have tn it some good stories, poems and draw- ings by you, 1 want pletures prose contributions Thanksgiving spirit, a special and poems and depicting the praising Thanks giving and telling Thanksgiving stories both old and new Show Thanksgiving Day as we en joy it.

A few softly spoken, laughter- tinged words reached Martin, “The audience is requested to kind- ly move forward. Next show starts right away. Especially staged for young gentlemen of the law.'’ Martin moved forward promptly First the weeping boatswain, now the happy hunchback. It was a night of odd meetings! “Ah, ha, my amiable sequaintance of the afternoon walks abroad!"’ chuckled the voice. ‘Is it thus he cools a brow fevered of too much Kent and Blackstone?’’ “Well, it is a good night for such a cooling,” was Martin's good-na- tured retort True,’ admitted the 6ther. “And other things than the law fever the head-heavy ordnance of cruisers of accursed blackness, the fatal rum and gum, the devious workings of the Oriental mind, the slithering about of fat and greasy varlets. Yes, many things fever the brow, And ‘tis a good night for a cooling, As witne: Martin stared at the other. No reek of alcohol met his nostrils, as with the boatswain, but, none the less, Little Billy's eryptte Jargon con- firmed his suspicions, Also drunk, he reflected. He told Little Billy of his experi- ence with the mournful bosun. ‘Did you give him the slip?" said Martin. “Did you run away from him to be- om bot agent?" You d6 not understand,”’ stated the hunchback with dignity. ‘It wes but a manifestation of the wander- lust. Behold in me, sir, the tover, the argonaut, the adventurer!”* He straightened his slouched figure and attempted to strike an oratorical posture. He lost his balance and lurched sidewise toward Martin, He grasped Martin's overcoat. Martin good-naturedly put an arm around the other to steady Lim, Little Billy, ho guessed, was rendered dizzy by that rum and gum he had darkly hinted at. The hunchback teetered and clung to Martin's overcoat. Not for an instant did his tongue cease wagging. “Iam an explorer of strange lands, strange men, strange pursults,"’ he told Martin. ‘Behold in me one who has followed many occupations. A sailor—yes.

Martin, as he started to follow, noticed there was a second door at the foot of the stairs. He guessed it let upon the street. ‘They gained the upstairs landine and paused.

Through the door the Jap held open he saw the out lines of a bed, and a rag of carpet When he stepped through the door, the musty air of the room smote his noftrils like a blow. The Japanese closed the door, and the retreating echo of his footsteps sounded from the hall. Martin had not expected to be thus shut in dark- ness, but after all it was a small matter. He felt his way to the bed and sat down on its edge After a moment he struck a match The flare revealed, as,he expected, the meanly appointed bedroom of a tenth rate hostelry.

Martin heard a voice ex- claim chokingly, and in English: “Let go—let go of me!"* It was a strange voice, @ rich and thrilling voice and it carried an ap~ peal. A man’s yolce? Martin felt his way to the door. He must see what was being done to the owner of that voice. He turned the knob and pulled and the door came open a few inches.
