ished away assiduously. The
brasswork received much benefit from
the momentary excitement that flood
ed him. 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,"
