Jerry On the Job
(Coutinued)
TARAKE ouly hazily knew the nio-
mejit the fight began; but he was
sitting up before it was finished. The !
crimp hit, aud hit hard; but ho was;
putty In the bands of the big blond
man. Mister Htevens nit nun once, a
blow that would have floored him but
lor the wall. The wall creaked under
the Impact of bin body. Crafty in
free-for-all fighting, the crimp re
bounded from the wooden wall,
launched himself forward in a crouch,
mid gouged upward with bis extended
thumbu for his foe's eyes. Mister
Stevens was crafty, too. He jerked
his head upwards, and snapped at
the thumbs with his teeth. He caught
one, and bit hard on It, while the
crimp bellowed with pain. Then Stev
ens let him go; and while the man
stood on one leg, twisting round and
round, wringing hiB half severed
thumb, the .blond man stepped in,
coldly, methodically, like a cooper
walking around a cask, and punched
with all his muscle and weight at the
other's face and jaw.
Six sickening punches landed be
fore the crimp fell. Six cutting
punches that sent the blood spattering
over walls and ceiling. The last two
landed upon an unconscious man; and
when he pitched headlong across the
couch where Drake lay, his head
struck the iron with a crack. The
fall knocked the wind out of Drake;
but It also dissipated some of the
mists that fogged his brain. He drag
ged a leg aud arm free, and began to
struggle up. He meant to have some
thing to say to that big blond man.
The landlord was heavy. The big
blond man glanced contemptuously
backwards as he quitted the room.
"Send me a bloody dude for a sail-
' or, will you? A dude like that, too!
If it was only a man "
Mister Stevens passed from view,
and Drake fought himself -to a sitting
posture, his sluggish blood beginning
to leap irith shame.
"I'll show him!" he gritted, and
made a bold stagger across the room.
He was back in his shipboard youth
. again. A fight was the nautral se
quence to an insult like that
Drake began to doubt that he was
entirely awake. Horrid things, red
splotched things whirled before his
yes. He felt his wrist. His wrist
watch was undoubtedly gone. Coins
jingled in his trousers pockets. He
drew" forth two copper pennies. His
keys were gone.
"This is too much of a good thing!"
he muttered, and' marched through the
door. At the threshold be stopped,
conscious of his incomplete attire;
for a wpman's voice onme to him from
along a passage; not the voice of a
woman liko Mag Pur-rot, but the cul
tured, soft toned voice of a girl. Men's
voices could be heard, too; and among
them the hateful voice of Mister Stev
ens, the voice that had uttered that
' scorching remark. He wanted to in
j terview Stevens. Itut a gentleman
j could not face n lody at that hour of
' the morning in the quite inadequate
remnants of a dinner suit. He drew

la the paasuge three people walked
vlowly by, two men, and a girl.
"So it's ns well you were delayed
over the men," a deep, puzzlingly un
strange voice was saying. I shouldn't
have brought Mary into a den liko
this; but time is idiort, and you must
sail today.1
'Oh, plea He don't worry about me,"
answered the girl's voice. "It's, fun.
I wanted to see Oh, look!" the
voice dropped to a stage whisper.
"There's a man in there!"
Drake groaned silently. He wanted
to take a square look at the owner
of that voice.- It was a rich, liquid,
Jiappy voice. It sent a queer ripple
aiong ins tnroat. nut no uarea not
take his arms from his face. He
knew, by the next voice, that they had
passed on.
"All the men are aboard but one,
Captain Manning." This was R,tevens
speaking. "I'll hare a man in half
an hour. The crimp tried to send me
a putty dude." The fellow laughed
discordantly. Evidently playing to
the girl, thought Drake. "If you saw
It, Miss Mary, yon'd want it for a dol
ly, but you'd have to wash it first."
"Are you speaking about a man?"
came the Birrs voice, cool and unnp
preciative. Drnk'o never could decide,
even years later, whether the girl
meant that to be frosty, or was hav
ing fun with Stevens too deep for his
understanding. Now they were com
ing past tho door again.
"Tried to dump the dude onto me,
sir. I hammered him well."
irWho, the dude?" queried the girl,
sharply.
"Hush, child! Let Mister Stevens
get through. Time's short," cut in
Captain Manning..
"The crimp," said Stevens. "I
would fell like a child beater if I hit
that double left banded thing in silk
striped pants that "
"Yes, yes," said the captain im
patiently. "Never mind the dude.
You get your ship warped out of the
pierhead whether you have a full com
plement or not You'll lose the rest
if you don't." The trio were right at
the door. Drake simply had to peep.
"I have done all that's needed in
change of masters. You'll take the
Orontes out to II a tn via. Take good
care of Mary, and see her Bafcly to
her brother's place. Ill got the
business that's keeping mo ashore
all settled by the time you get back.
Then we'll talk about what's to be
done." i
Drake's first peep showed him tho j
thick gray bearded, copper-bronzed ,
old - gentleman of nautical aspect j
whoso fat chaise horses ho had i
startled with bis clanging gnte. His j
next wns more than a peep, for he
raised his head, and looked straight
into the wme blue yes of the girl
who had haudled those frightened
