which bubbled the soup and beef for
the men's dinner. He bad been put on
the ship's Articles as Boy. Every
now and then he carried out a bucket
of soot nnd clinker to dump over tho
lee rail.
lie had felt that he was getting a
bit grimy. Ho hurried to finish tho
job. II would have a chance to
wimh before starting on something
elwe. As be took out his last bucket
of noot, an apprentice climbed down
from the standard compass with bis
tin of brass cleaning gear. The lad
grinned in Brake's face, but before
be could utter a remark the second
ninte sang out front the poop:
"You, Sammy I" The apprentice
turned aft, his month open. .
"Yes, air."
"Give your brass rags to the boy
Tes, that black fellow. Who d' ye
think? You, Drake, come aft and
yet busy on the poop brassworkl
Drake hesitated. He bad seen the
flutter of a white skirt aft. lie felt
as if. he simply dared not obey. If he
refused to go aft, it would be in
subordination. He would probably be
confined in the forepeak.
"Boy!" roared Mr. Adams. "Got a
move on youl" A grin of good na
turftd amusement played at the sec
ond mate's eye corners. Drake sud
denly made up his mind to face it,
and walked aft with his brass rags
and tin of brlckdust and oil with his
head np and his sooty face turned
squarely upon the world.
He started with the brads plate
that held the patent log. His back
was toward the two deckebairs that
stood by the saloon skylight. Then
he had to come to the wheel, to
polish the big brass boss and the in
set brass rim.. Stealing a glance at
the deckchairs, be grew hot at the
sight of Stevens' sneering face. Mary
Manning read a book, her fair face
rosy red, her blue eyes ever upon
her book. The skipper was talking,
but she appeared not to hear. Her
color deepened aa Drake finished the
wheel and went to the skylight to
remove the rods. And she got up.
Stepping into the companionway she
said:
"Captain Stevens, 111 come on deck
when the work la done. My father
would never permit the poop brass
work to be neglected until mid fore
noon! neither would he tolerate work
ing the ship's boya to the point where
there was no time for personal clean
liness." ,
Drake stooped to hide a grin. He
felt the hot flush of shame surge
through him; but he could grin, for
Captain Stevens' face turned red, and
the bruised lips opened and hung
open as the girl vanished with the
air und step of an offended princess.
"Mister AdamBl Send this con
founded boy for'ard and have a couple
of hands scrub hiral Got him out
o' my sight, d'ye hearl"
Druko sat croBB-lcgged on the foro
'hatch ouo dogwatch, sewing a canvas
jumper. A piece of old canvas, lay
beside him; a cut-out, partly stitched
pair of canvas trousers wero thrown
over his feet. He sewed expertly.
He used the Bailor's pulm and needle
liko a sail-maker.
Fat little Joe Bunting went over
to Drake, nnd his rubicund face reg
iHtorcd surprise of tho work done,
lie picked up the cunvns trousers.
His Hps puckered in a silent whistle,
and his twinkling gray eyes widened.
"If you wua nt sea long enough to
Irani to tailor like that, you ain't
got no business as a boy aboard this
ship," he said. Ilo regarded Drake's
grinning face with a puzzled expres
sion, examining again the well cut
garment in his hand. It was made
of old canvas, softer than new, truly,
but it wns the fashioning of the work
rather tbun the stitching that arrest
ed attention. That sort of work
was seen in the grand old dcepwater
men of a past and gone decade. Joe
could do it, and a few others aboard
the Orontes, but it was not a general
accomplishment, and the ability to
turn out work of that sort hinted at
a real apprenticeship to the sailing
ship.
"Wo learned to do little jobs for
ourselves when I was a boy at sea."
Drake Bmiled. "Nothing much in it
Sails gave me a bit of canvas and
lent me his ssilmaker's bog. I asked
Ike Saintly for a pair of scissors, and
he borrowed thcue from Miss Man
ning." Joe was thoughtful. He glanced
aft.--The skipper and Mary Manning
walked the poop together, along the
weather side from taffrail to the
break. The skipper seemed happy.
The girl was luughing and full of
pleasant 'chatter.
"Well, matey," ' said Joe, "there
ain't a bloke in this ship as can turn
out clobber like thut. an' you may
luy to that. I never cut out a pair
o' bags to ekal them, not in all niy
goin1 fishin'. I ain't makin' no re
marks, me son, an' I ain't arskin' so
question wot ain't none o" my busi
ness. If so be as you wants to ship
boy in this pocket, boy you kin be
for all Joe lluntin' '11 bother yuh.
But if you does other jobs same as
you're a-doin' this, I'll gamble my
donkey's brekfust you won't stay boy
long. What yor doin' it for, any
how?" "Fun!" said Drake, thinking Joe
referred to bis being in the ship at
all.
"Fun! Why don't yuh git yer
things outa the slop chcBt? You
can't make everything you want. You
won't never 'avo n6 stand caBy." .
"Captain Stevens refused to let me
havo tilings out of the slops. Said at
my rate Of wages I'd need all the al
lowance coming iq me 10 uuy oil
skins and boots wheu the weather
gets bad."
"Then I'd wear my old dungnreca
till I was bare-logged, me lad!"
growled Joe. "Show 'im up nforo
tu' gall". . ..
"1 wonder, Joe," grinned Drnko,
Bteallng a glance n't

Cynthia Grey Says: 1
By CYNTHIA GHJSY
'"PHIS dangerous ago of woman is 40.'
For this we iuve the word of the
moot brilliant woman in Denmark,
Karin Michaolls.
However true it may be, there h
no doubt that 40 is far and away the
most discouraging time of a woman's
life.
It Is tho time when ehe stops put
ting candles on her birthday cake
. . . and starts putting cold cream
on her first wrinkles.
Ah, those frrat wrinkles! Whole
books could be written on them.
For they are one of the spremo
tragedies of a woman's life . . . .
or they can bel It all depends on the
t woman, v.,
"Yes, I'm pretty now," says Pln
ero'a Paula Taoqueray. "Hut ern
now I notice that the lines in my faeo
are getting deeper. So are the hollows
about my eyes . Sovn I'll be
a worn-out creature . . . my hair
too bright, my eyes too dull, my bod?
too thin or too scout, my cheeks red
dled and ruddled! O ghost, a' wreck,
a caricature!" ' '
And there In a' nutnhcl you have
the whole tragedy of a grrnt clan
of women . ... the buttnrfly type
that ibas neither a job nor children to
keep her young. - Usually her family
consist of a husband who pays tho
bills.
She has nothing In Ufa to depend
upon except the things tht a pretty
face gives a woman . . . admira
tion from men. envy from other wom
en, and good times.
And when her looks to gone, those
things are gvne with them.
At 40, the butterfly woman peer
into the glass nnd know that in a
few years she will bo liko Longfel
low's "yellow lent In autumn" . .
sere and wrinkled. 1
And with one Inst clutch t her
Ynninhlng youth, she plunges Into wild
pnycty and helnted romance . . .
thf only things that mean Anything In
her life.
And that Is what Knrln Mlchnrlls
menus. 1 think, when she says that
lit Ih the dangerous age for women.
Hut not for all women! IVr the
worker typo It ! the time when lie
ln'ifins to score on life.
Such women as Ethel Tlsrrymnre
end .Knthleen Norrls are nt the verv
height of their fame end power at 40.
In ajiother eight years, when th
childlike Mary IMrkford will he 40.
Riie will probably be the grenteat film-idny-prodiiccr
In the world aa foilnv
she Is the greatest ao!r.
For at 32 she In wisely getting
Teadv to do that very tittle thing!
"I pJinll soon be 2.1." Olorin Hwnn
shn vntri the other div when she
married a French marouis. "And then
1 shall leave the screen for cond, and
have a large family of children to
keep nte voting In niv old age."
I think that, without exception, thn!
I" the most scnsiMe remark that ever
fell from the routed Hps of a film
actres . . . those wonictl who
know better than any others what i
trsgedv a wrinkle or a double rhln
can be!
For middle ape has no tenors for
the woman with a family. At thut
time children havo UBually passed be
yond the bothersome age and have ne
couie a sourco of pride and keon
pleasure.
And It is one of the tricks of fate
that, nine times out of ten, tho mu
ture woman who has been too busy
to bother about lior complexion and
figure, has kept both of them to a far
greator extent than her idlo sister
who has spent both time and money
on face massage, hair dyes, and milk
packs. "Grow old gracefully'' was the slo
gan of our grandmothers.
"Grow old busily" hi the more mod
ern one . . . nnd the chance are
that you'll grow old very slowly, too!
' To be qunlitled to sorre on a
jury in Great Britain, a woman
must own a houso valuod at not
loss than $100 or Hvo In one with
not loss than 15 windows.
