TOE. sat beside hi pal and threaded
J a needle. He could help, if he
could not dissuade. 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.
Don't glv 1m do chance to git after
M1"
i Drake laid down his work leisure-.
Im ami rummaged among the canvas
i "Q onf wheesed Joe, painfully.
A Upper was scowling. Drake
rtckd np the scissors be had bor
rowed and walked oft, trying to brush
sjad pull hla soiled and torn dungarees
.toooine sort of fitness as he went.
1 "Grata move on, mladl" cried the
kt. Th skipper's eyea glittered.
Idary took her aye from the fore
ketch gathering and looked lntereat
Mly at Drake as ha mounted the lee
Ndaladdos,
' Ton toM-m yon Bad been to aea
frafuie,1 napped the. skipper.
Tts, air, smiled Drake, meeting
kho (UttarJng ayes squarely, wonder
ing what saw humiliation waa to be
tried out qpon him.
"Take the helm. 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.
. "Why, th wake runs aa straight
laMcan br cried Mary, pointing
atern where tha after glow of the
TamlabM Ban touched with
nd gold th dandng foam-threads
i in passing waters.
Th Oroutes romned thrnnvh t.
ntorthoaat trades with a bone in her
twth, and with never a pull-haul or
-samara to aeep tha crew from grow
4ng fat and discontented. '
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.

the day when she first sots eyes on

When a girl makes up her mind

Dear Miss Grey: , I, am a stenog
rapher, working for a bachelor 15
years older than myself. IIo seems
to be much interested in me, taking
me to shown and parties and giving
me lovely gifts of candy and .books.
There Is no reason in the world why
this man cannot marry, and yet he
never speaks of doing ao to me. How
can I bring him to the proposing
point? Marian W.
Thcro Is no technique, Marian,
that a woman can use to mnke
a marrying mnu out of a con
firmed and determined bachelor.
It mny be, however, that your
particular bachelor is not of this
.type, and that he only wnnta to
be very sure you are the girl he
wants to marry. Hide your time,
and see.
