H tingled with tho urge to boldly tell her every thing. Hut the back view of Mr. Adams warned him that perhaps Rome other time might be better. The second mate stood watching some thing going on In the waist; the skipper's voice was heard down there, too. Captain Stev ens wuh nnxiouB about the Hkinning of that murdered mutton. A few lashcs from inexpert bladea would Utterly ruin the sheep pelt for a rug; and tho skipper expected to make a decided hit when he gave thut snowy, ailky skin to Mary. Ynu wore a blue velvet frock, and A Billy pot-shaped hat that hid your ears and almost smothered your face," , ho said softly. He. polished away at his brans, but glanced up and grinned, to see her eyes widen, and her parted teeth gleam through lips lightly opened in a little gasp of sur prise. A slow smile brdkc over her face, and she raised her brows. "And you wero in a beastly tem per," she retorted. "You slammed the gate! I knew you wore no ship's boy. Now tell mo what on earth you have embarked on this crazy esca pade for." "Is it so crazy?" ho asked softly, and looked full into her blue eyes with ao much meaning in hia own glowing black ones that the blue eyes fell, the deep color flooded her neck and throat, and alio turned her face away. Drake bent over his brass- gathered himself on his toes and hurled himself at his assuilunt with balled fists working in short, straight. uijr i nun, j ur uiru n rn-n giuuu, Tony groaned in sympathy as those short punches thudded upon the cap- tain's sacred chin. Mr. Alums stepped to the bnuk of the poop, attracted by the sudden lull in the swish of brooms. "Carry on with your work, bosun!" cried Mr. Adams angrily. He leaped down the poop ladder, going to the defense of his skipper. Stevens re covered himself, lowered his blond head, and charged, bellowing bull-like. Ho swung at Drake, heedless of the snappy jolts that peppered his fare. The punch drove Drake hack heavily into tho arms of Mr. Adams, who gripped him securely. "Shall- X iron him, sir?" he asked anxiously. Never in all his going to sea had tho young second mate wit nessed such a thing as a ship's boy returning punch for punch with a ship master. Move us drew his arm back, for another punch, and held it. His lips bruised, his chin was already swelling. Hut there was more aston ishment than fury in his iace, for Drake was grinning at him through a smear of blood, grinning without animosity. "Lot him go, said Stevens slowly, "Carry on with your work, boy. I'll have a talk with you later on." Drake wiped hia face on a wad of waste, wetting- It at Hill Uadgctt's hose. Then he went aft and resumed his brass cleaning. - Mary stood at one of the maindeck saloon ports, watching the sailors at their scrubbing. Sho had got there just a moment after the fracas "Shall I Iron Him, Sir?" work, polishing Ilka mad. chuckling happily. Aud the big ship swung wide in her course for Mary's atten tion was fnr, far off. The main sky anil flapped and went aback; the royals began to shako; the flying jib rattled ita hanks and thumped Its beet blocks. Mary spun trie big .wheel; Drake sprang to help bcr; but the mischief was done. The akippor came running up tho ladder, his faco portending 111 for tho culprit, lie stopped aud stared when he saw the helmsman; then a sarcastic sneer twisted hia face and he curtly told tho second mato to get a man to the wheel. Drake had got the ship to her course by tho time tho seaman re lieved the wheel; ho picked up his brasswoi'k tin and moved to tho sky light rods. "Drop that, m'lad. Come with me," the skipper said with a quiet voice and an ominous eye. Down to tho maindeck they went. The scuppers wore, still red with the blood of the stuck sheep. The bosun and sailors scrubbed tbo decks, coin ing aft slowly. Tony and tho Doctor had skinned their mutton, and were now hanging the carcass in the rig ging to cool. The pelt already dragged overboard on n heaving line, getting scoured by the rushing sea. Abreast the galley Stevens stopped, and with a face working in cruel an ticipation he seised Drake by the wrist. "Bo you're tho monkey who's going to be master o' this ship soon, are you?" he snarled. Drake glanced at the angry faco, then at Tony, who eemed to be choking. Tony had his own notions about getting even for that thrashing. 'Some day I may, air" Drake respectfully. "I want to bo. "Home day! You want! You meant nothing like that when you yam mered out your thoughts unknown to you! Tony! coino here!" Tony approached nimbly, carefully avoiding having to meet Drake'a eye. "What was it ho said?" snapped 8tercns. He soy, som day soon he sail Heea sheep hoes self, then heo tell Captain Htcvens who thee bes' man." "I came to sea because I like tho bob," said Drako cooly, "1 see no reason why 1 should not command this ship in time, sir." " ton't lie ! You're no common ship's boy. I believo there's some damned nonsense afoot between you ud Miss Manning, and " "That, of course, Is a lie." Drake interrupted without raising his voir In a flush Stevens' big fist smashed against his month, and bis arm was wrenched excruciatingly as he whirlrd around, llu had fallen headlong agalust tho steel bulwarks but for that iron grip on his wrist. The bosun and hia gang stopped their scrubbing to look on In wonder. It was tho ntarboard watch, and Drake bud few friends in that side of the forecasllc. He, being deck boy, kept day hours, working through tho day with both watches, and keeping no n in lit watch; but most of his well Wishers were among tho port watch. Old Hill (iadgctt, the bosun, had wpriud toward him when ho had whipped Tony, and some of the men went not openly against him; but taken all around the deck scrubbers looked on In secret glee. Mr. Adams was afi, by tho wheel, making sure that the ship swerved no more from her course. Mary had gone to her cal ln hi chagrin. While Drake sprawled on the deck, hi twisted arm held high, Stevens St rick him again, so savagely that thl Tsir Impel us of the blow made him 1st go hit wrist hold. Drake got up with Hit danger signal tn his black tts, 1044 against the bulwarks, stopped, so that she missed that. She shuddered a little when Tony crossed her view, so fierce was his battered face, ao blood bespattered was ho all over, so murderous did he seem with his reeking butcher knife in hand. Hut his job was done. Tony only ap peared to despair. As sho stood there gazing out along the broad expanse of tho clean decksj and aloft at tho towering and diminishing mass of canvas all alight in deepening sun light, her resentment passed. She hod felt rebellious at being sent from the wheel. Now alio kuw she had been at fault. Sho wondered how Drake had fared, not having heard anything amiss. Sho hud heard Captain Stev ens come below and enter his state room, but paid no attention. Now he came out, washed up anil with his blond curls combed into order, and stood behind her. . At that moment Mary's thoughts were not upon Stev ens. Kho was very feminine; she dearly loved a mystery. What occu pied her mind to the exclusion of all elso just then was Drake's real mo tive in making this voyage. Sho half turned aud bumped Into Stevens. He put his hand on her arm, holding her gently. She noticed his face was bruised; but his eyes were troubled with a softer . trouble than anger. Sho felt a bit afraid of what ho was going to sny. "Mary," ho said, and she scarcely recognised his voice, so thick was it; "Mary, I am responsible to your father for you. Will you please not talk to tho men when at their work? It Is beneath your station to make freo with that boy, Drake" She stopped him with a sharp cry of pro test. "You doro say that?" she' panted. ,"I make free! And Mr. Drake is not " "Now you have let it out, Mary," Today's Styles . t, . mi r.i lift f i v 3 i.r.
