An he stitched, he, too, stole glances aft, for he wa a loyal little man, was Joe. He sided with Drake. For the proverbial pair of fat weevils he would have marched aft and demanded clothes for him. Mary Manning laughed merrily. Drake glanced up, to gratify the enac with sight of her. As she Blood there in sailor blue, her brown lut i r full of. golden glints, her face alight in the last rich rays of the setting sun, she was a vision for a Sailor to see. "Wot's bltln' th' Old Man now?" growled Joe. Drake started at the voice. It dragged him out of his dream. He looked at the skipper. And he too wondered what could be, the matter. Jaka Stevens was sot looking at Mary Manning. His eyes were cold and hard. He was smiling, In truth, but It was the smile of a sailor-fed shark. And It was fixed full upon Drake and the work In his hands. The skipper spoke to Mr. (Twining, and the mate's whistle hriled out , Ton, Drake! Lay aft!"' Qe on, matof" urged Joe hoarsely.

Mister Twining, tratch himl If he's been lying, keep him than until ha learns I" Captain Stevens turned to Mary, and aha looked up rather snrprlsedly Into a face wreathed In a broad smile. Sometimes she was puzzlod at Stev ens' moods. She folt certain this sudden decision to have Drake stand a trick at the wheel waa Induced simply by meanness. Aa for the genesis of that broad smile, she did not know what it waa. Only a sailor could be expected to know the au premo disgrace of being driven from the helm of a sailing ahlp for in competency. Besidos, she had no inkling of the depth to which "Stevens had been stirred, by her outspoken championship of the mature ship's boy. The helmsman whose proper trick it was, passed on his way to jolu the singsong, grinning expec tantly, for he was one of the foe'ea'le hands who could not understand Drake and therefore disliked him. '.Shall we walk a while!" tha skip per Biiggosted, taking her arm in a strong grip. They turned and walked the deck, past the wheel, to the taff rail and back to the forward rail. Mr. Twining stood beside tha wheel, watching tha compass with a queer look on hla brown face. i Drake stood at the helm as uncon cerned aa if ha had done nothing but teer clipper ships all hla life. Mary (lanced at him, and smiled. Tha kipper glanced at htm, and smiled leaa broadly. Neit time they passed ha flashed a (lane at tha mate,, who avoided hla y. And when once mora they approached the wheel, the kipper atapped to tha binnacle and peered in -sharply. . "Drake toara better than anybody i my watch, air," grinned Mr. Twi fting. 'Then yon hava a rotten, lot! flWra not watching UinJ" retorted the skipper. .

' Drake soon discovered himself the renter of difference between two harply defined factions In the 'fore castle. Ther waa a friendly faction, headed by rubicund Joe Hunting, backed nobly by Nick Coombs, and (Ivan dignity to by Sails. There waa a frankly unfriendly party urged on by Tony, headed by the two young and lusty aeamen, Tuhhs and Sims. Tony would have led that gong, but hla two lieutenants proved far too assertive. Old 111 1 1 Gadgett plaved a ort of Jack o' both sides. That wa old Bill's way. He ployed the winner after the race, always. There was the cook, too, and Cliipsj these dis trusted each other so vehemently that neither would declare himself, ach waiting on tha other. Hut little did Drake worry about factions. He was only concerned in the progress he wos making, Physi cally he was satisfied. He had tried nine of the stunts practiced bv the apprentices; stunts he used to do himself in bygone years; and he could swarm a backstay as far as the best of the lads. More, he gave them uiiiethlug to ponder over one fine evening by swarming clear up to the collar of the tnpmsst hackatsy and there hanging by one hand for five minutes before descending hand under hand. When he went to the forecastle after that gratifying trial of strength, he found a wordy battle on between Tony and Joe, and the gang egging them, on. Tony had a bitter spite against Joe ever since having been hauled from hla hunk In favor nf Drake. Joe was busy upon a general overhaul of his bunk. "I t'eenk you keesa da boy some time, Joe, lis?" challenged Tony des perately. Joe seemed to be proof against his Jibes. "M'lsd, you run away an' play be fore you get hurl," replied Joe, his bead and shoulders still buried in hli bunk gear. Drake atood just inside th door, wondering at th silence that auddenly came over the waiting gang. "Who weel hurt me, ha?" demand ed Tony, stepping nearer and touch ing Joe'a bending back. Joe slowly emerged, his fat red face weoring an annoyed expression, his keen gray eyes glittering. And after the fash ion of some forecastle fighters, Tony leaped to get the advantage before his foe could straighten up. He fell upon Joe whilo the fat little red man was twisted halfway around, and drove him bnck savagely upon the sharp edge of bis' bunk. It was an old trick, and on likely to break ribs if properly followed up. Tony pro ceeded to follow it up. One knee was on Joe's hips. , Tony's nervous fin gers were twisted in Joe's gray-shot red hulr. The sailors drew up their legB and howled delightedly, for nothing could stop the fight now until one man.was beaten to a pulp. That was a sailor's woy. But they had to wait just one broath longer. Be fore Tony had fairly seiicd Joe's red hair, Drake left his place by the door and reached the pair In one smooth leap, and his hands dug down into Tony's ahirt collar. "Fair play, Tony! Let him up!" he shouted, and with a knee at Tony'a back forced him upright. "I t'eenk you ask fr.r get keel,' by Jeso I" stuttered Tony,, and let go of Joe to punch Drake in the eye. Joe got up, and thrust at Drake. "Leave him .to me, ' Joe," Drake said quietly, and methodically went to work upon the spitting Tony. Even Joe stared. Drake bad not gone through a Ben apprenticeship without learning to fight; and, being Intelli gent, and hating a beating, he had learned to fight to win. But winning by auch tactics, as he used was a new experience In the forecastle. He used his fists entirely. When Tony, almost blinded by straight jabs, his lips split; and hla nose a gory ruin, rushed cursing to a clinch and used knees, skull and teeth In desperation, Drake used one arm to force space for him aelf, and with bis free fist drove up percuta to Tony'a chin that came near unshipping his head.
