Easton laughed reassuringly. 1 1 was
not rfrnl.l of clever women. Miss Win
ter must almost have heard the laugh.
while there was still nui!i on hi face
as he bowed before her.

himself, "been st nil entertainment of

"Hut," said Miss Winter, "yon are not

lie looked down at the garment in
quesiion, and dusted the sleeves lightly
witl. a perfectly gloved hand.
yon like it." he inquired simply.
Miss Winter was becoming interested.
She therefore quelled a sudden desire to
laugh, and answered:
"Yes; it is a very nice coat."
"I am not," he said, after a pause, "new
to England, hut I have not moved much
!n Iondon society. 1 supise the men
do all the moving in your society? th.-y
seem to. The wvmen sit mostly still and
wait till the men come to them. With us
It is different."
"The women." replied this womanly
lady, "are beginning to move with us. anil
from what 1 have seen of the result, I
rather incline toward the old policy of
itting still."
He turned and looked at her with a
little nod. There was in his queer, rest
less eyes a distinct glance of approval.
"Yes," he said, "yes. So 1 should sur
mise. Our ladies are very fascinating,
and very clever, and all that, but but
the young men do not seoni to make such
a pretty show of loving them as we read
of in olden times. At all events, they do
not continue to show them that regard
which. 1 remember, my father showed
toward my mother."
"I myself am an humble admirer of
the womanly school."
"And I." added Easton. "Now," he
continued, after a pause, "do tell rne,
what da all these gov! people think they
are doing here to-night V"
"They think firstly," replied Miss Win
ter, "that they are getting their names
Into the fashionnble society papers. Sec
ondly, that their natural or arificial
adornment is creating a distinct inipres-
ion. Thirdly, and lastly, that they are
assisting in some indefinite way toward
the solution of a problem of which the
rudiments are entirely unknown."
"Then in England, as well as in my
own country, charity is a recognized play
thing of society," suggested Easton.
"Yes. We take It up in late autumn
and winter, when there are no races, no
regattas, nor lawn tennis parties."
"Ah ! then," said the American, "so
ciety ia very much the same here as else
where." At this moment Oswin Grace passed
within earshot of them. He heard the
remark, and recognized the voice. When
he turned, his surprise at seeing Miss I
inter ana rasron loge iner so marl
ed as to cause a little frown to pass
across the queer, wistful face of the
American. He returned the young Eng
lishman's comprehensive bow, however,
with perfect equanimity.
"You know Oswin Grace?" inquired
Miss Winter.
"Oh, yes," was the cool reply; "Tyars
brought him to my rooms one evening."
Miss Winter skillfully concealed eager
ness. "They are great friends," she said,
lightly.
"Ye-es. Yes, Tyars constantly talks
of him."
"I suppose," continued Miss Winter, in
the same indifferently conversational way,
"that they have many interests in com
mon ; both being sailors. At least, I be
lieve Claud Tyars considers himself a
sailor now."
This was clever, and the wary little
man paused. He felt convinced that Miss
Winter knew less of the past life of Tyars
than she would have him believe. More
over, he suspected that she had never
hitherto called him Claud Tyars. The
Implied familiarity was a trap, womanly,
clever and subtle; but Easton avoided It
with equal skill. He maintained an easy
silence. Immediately afterward, how
ever, he made a blunder.
"Oswin," sajd Miss Winter, "is a great
friend of mine, and I think Helen is my
greatest friend."
"A sister?" inquired Easton, rashly.
"Yes. Mr. Tyars has not spoken of
her, then?"
"No. Tyars did not tell me that Grace
bad a sister."
There was a short pause. Perhaps the
American heard the little sigh of relief
given by bis companion, marking, as it
were, the relaxation of an effort ; such
a sigh as an athlete gives when be has
cored a success and his weary muscles
fall into repose. He became instantly
conscious of his blunder. He had been
outwitted by this pleasant woman. He
Matthew Mark Easton a born In
triguer, a man with real genius for con
spiracy. "Ah !" reflected Miss Winter, "why has
Mr. Tyars omitted to make mention of
Helen's existence?" And with feminine
Intuition she made a hasty mental note of
this important Item.
"So," mused Easton, during the same
pause, "there is a Miss Grace, and Tyars
never mentioned her. I must be very
careful. Seems to me that there are two
men at stake here, not one ; and I cannot
afford to lose two sailors such as these."
Miss Winter was now drawn into a
vortex of light-hearted idlers bent upon
a systematic inspection of the pictures,
and from their rauks Easton took the first
opportunity of dropping away unobserved.
They did not speak again during the even
ing; but the little seed was sown the
little seed of mutual esteem or mutual
dislike, a the case may be, which under
either circumstance seems to draw some
people together here In life to spread
its subtle tendrils, Intertwined and knit
together, until their united strength is a
tbiug undreamed of.
"1 seem," reflected Easton, subsequent
Jy, "to have met that little English lady
omewhere before. Her ways of speaking,

a cheery wsj, as if nothing mattered very
much, arc familiar to me, I certainly
have not seen her before In this vale of
sorrow, as the lady writers call it. I
wonder where I have met her."
It happened to fall to the lot of Claud
Tyars to shut the d,or of Miss Wlntvr's
comfortable brougham; while Grace, who
had helped her in, stood back and nodded
a good night.
'the lady leaned back against the soft
cushion, and drew her cloak more anug
ly round her. The flashing light of street
lamp or carriage showed her face to be
grave and thoughtful. She was realising
that Claud Tyars was something more
than a mere lover of intrigue, mnklng a
mystery out of a very ordinary love affair.
She was recognising now that matters
were more serious than she had at first
considered them.
CHAPTER XIV.
Miss Winter sometimes fell a victim to
a longing for labor. She sometimes felt
useless, and looked beyond the work that
lay at hand for heavier labor. When she
heard of giod works done by women, she
longed to do something also.
Hut it was only at times that Miss
Winter gave way to this weakness, ami
she was very quiet about it. When the
paroxysm was upon her. she put on a
thick veil, her quietest dress, and took
the omnibus to Tower Hill.
She was too well acquainted with the
world to go empty-handed and to make
those trivial mistakes by which many
well-meaning women reduce charity to
the ludicrous. She had an old bag spe
cially devoted to this secret vice, for one
cannot carry half pounds of butter, pack
ets of tea. anil pounds of raw sausages in
one's best handbag.
The recipients of her charity were a
race of men overlooked by charity or
ganizations, ignored by those bland dis
tributors of leaflet literature who call
themselves the Sailors' Friend. Very few
people find themselves by accident in the
Ixindon Pock or the St. Kathertne's
Iock: in fact, both those basins are rath
er difficult to find.
The shipkeeper is a strange, amphibi
ous creature. Ills calling Is afloat, his
business on the waters, and yet he Is no
sailor. In busier times he rarely )Nnt
more than two months on board of one
ship; n)w there are men living week
after week, month after month, year after
year on the same vessel. Many of them
never set foot outside the dock gates;
some there are who remain afloat always.
Miss Winter had heard of these ships.
and from different sources she gradually
learned that there were men living on
board of them ; men whose lives were al
most as solitary as that of a sailor cast
upon some desert island. It seems strange
that within the roar of city life, almost
within stone s throw of the crowded
streets, there should be men living day
after day without speaking a word to
their fellow creatures. For if they do
not choose to come ashore, certainly no
one will trouble to go on board and see
them.
In course of time she evolved the Idea
of going to the docks to see if it was
difficult to get on board these ships, and
there she discovered that there was noth
ing easier. It was merely a matter of
paying, as it is in every other part of the
world.
At first her advances caused consterna
tion, but, woman like, she gradually made
her way, never being guilty of one retro
grade step. A few distrusted her motives,
some thought she was merely a fool, oth
ers concluded she had "got religion."
These latter were the first to welcome
her. The explanation was so simple,
and it had served to account for stranger
conduct than this.
One and all appreciated the butter and
the sausages. Some made use of the soap,
and a few read the newspapers she
brought them
Soon Miss Winter found that her ad
vent was looked for. The responsibilities
of beneficence began to muke themselves
felt. She commenced to know personally
these quaint old hermits, and found thut
there were sincere and insincere shipkeep
ers sblpkeepers who were interesting and
othrs who were mere nonentities. On
the whole, she gave preference to those
who took the butter and the sausages and
left the soap. These latter were old fel
lows who had never washed, and did not
see the good of changing their habits In
old age. This conservatism indicated ,
character worthy of admiration, and supe
rior to that of such as asked for more
soap and hinted at tracts.
She became more and more Interested
in this work, and lapsed into the habit
of going to the docks once a week, at
least. As Claud Tyars frequented the
same spot with an equal regularity, their
meeting was only a question of time.
Tbey bad missed each other several
times by the merest chance, but at last
they came face to face In a most unde
niable manner. The morning was rather
foggy, and in consequence the dock was
more silent and sleepier than usual. Miss
Winter having just left a boat, was
mounting the steep wet steps from the
edge of the slimy water, when a tall
man, emerging from the fog, came to
the top of the stairs and hailed the boat.
"Wait a minute," he said; "I want
you."
He came down a step or two and stood
to one side to let Miss Winter pass.
In doing so, he looked at her, and she,
glancing up to thank him, gave a little
start.
"Ah !' she exclaimed. "You here
Mr. Tyars?"
He raised his bat without betraying
any surprise.
"Yes," he answered, "of course. The
docks have a natural attraction for me
a sailor."
"I forgot," she said, looking calmly
at him, "that you were a sailor."
She had been betrayed Into surprise,
but In a moment her usual alertness re
turned to her. She passed on, and be
followed her.
"Are you alone?" be Inquired.
"Oh, yes," she replied, lightly. "I am
quite at home here. I come nearly every
week and Interrupt the meditations of
the ship keepers. I look after their tem
poral welfare. It Is quite my own Idea,
I assure you, that I have no connection
with any philanthropic society."
"Tracts?" be Inquired, shortly.
I "No; no tracts." she replied. "San
. sages, butter and soap - essentially of this
' world."
lie was walking beside her, stilling his
; step w ith an implied sense of protection,
almost of approbation, which annoyed
her.
! "There may bo," he suggest ed, half
Ironically, "a hidden motive In the soap."
"Hut there I not," she replied, sharply,
"I advocate cleanliness only. Personally,
I prefer the dirty ones."
"Probably," he said, "you do a great
deal of good. These poor fellows lead a
very lonely life. You must seem to them
like a being from another world."
"So I am. Mr. Tyars," she said, still
upholding her work. "Quite another
world."
Then she suddenly laid aside her grav
ity with that strange inconsequence which
Is one of the many Important difference
between the male and female mind.
"You speak feelingly," she continued.
In thinly veiled mockery. "Perhaps you
have been a ship keeper yourself. You
seem to have been a g.d many thing."
"Yes." was the calm reply. "I haw.
I was onv a ship keeper In the Southern
Atlantic."
She was silenced. The details of his

Suddenly this cheerful little lady had
realised the pvttincs of her own exist
ence, the futility of her own small ca
price. She glanced up at him, almost
meditating an apology. Observant and

aware; she had not noticed that In her
Intercourse with Claud Tyars she Inva
riably began in an antagonistic vein, and
that with equal monotony this antagon
ism melted after a few moments.
In one respect Tyars was a common
place man. lie osessed the genius of
command, which is the genius most often
encountered in the world. It Is merely a
genius of adaptation, not of creation. Its
chief characteristic is a close but un
conscious observation of human nature.
He understood all who came in contact
with him much better than any one of
them understood him. Miss Winter was
conscious of a reserve in this man's
mind which was irrevocably closed to
her. He casually glanced into her char
acter in passing; if there was an Inner
motive beyond his fathom, he remained
indifferent to its presence. When their
paths crossed he was pleased to meet her,
but she never flattered herself that lm
would go far out of his way to hear her
opinion upon any suhvt..
"If, she said, 'I cared for horrors, I
should ask you some day to tell me atmut
about those days your ship-keeping
days; but I hate horrors.
"I am glad," he said, with evident re
lief. "I hate horrors, too, and should not
make a picturesque story of it."
They walked on In silence, feeling rath
er more friendly toward each other every
moment. It was necessary to pass be
neath a crane of which the greasy chain
hung loosely right across their path. Ty
ars stepped forward, and with a quick
turn of the winch-handle, drew the chain
taut, and consequently out of her way.
It was a mere incident, trivial In its way :
but women note these trivialities nad
piece them together with a skill and se-
quence which men cannot rival or even
imitate. Tyar's action showed an Intl
mate knowledge with the smallest details
of the calling he had chosen to follow.
