"tn. Drake, I scarcely expected to
J iU meet you like thin," said a sol-emn-looking
individual in decorous at
tire, stepping forward' and takinit
Drake's hand with an expression of
horror at the irons. Drake was en-
loving it aU bugcly. Vc tmei ,at
Mary; her blue yea wore wide with
wonder. Stovens glared blackly at
him over the top of a sheet of note
paper. Tho solemn man proceeded,
i holding out two envelopes: "Mr.
Drnke, I am Fielding, of Fielding and
Powers, acting on tho instructions of
vour lawyers at home in your behalf.
Here are the papers concerning your
purebnso of the Orontes. Captain
Stevens does not appenr willing to be
lieve that he has placed his owner in
Irons!" Mr. Fielding's tone and look
as be uttered the words did complete
Justice to the Signified old school to
which he belonged.,
"If you will be good enough to open
and read those letters," Drake said,
i holding out his manacled hands with
tj an apologetic smile. Mr. Fielding ad
justed his glasses higher up his thin
nose. Two seamen entered the com
panionway and clumped down the
atalrs. One staggered under a heavy
sea-chest, canvas covered, tasseled,
i and gromiriotted. ' The other should
1 ered a sea bag, full packed and pad-
locked. Mr. Adams was heard bid
ding them be careful in a voice so
charged with ainaaemcnt that Drake
was forced againsto laugh outright.
"Hadn't you better release Mr.
Drake ?" Fielding' suggested again
with a troubled glance at Stevens.
"It is really most unusual for me to
have to read a client's correspondence
in such circumstances."
"CaDtain Mannings" letter to 'me
tells me I'm to surrender command,"
Stevens said harshly. "Who to, Mis
ter Drake? He only says to the
nominee of the new owner. That'll
be the man to loose you."
"Then give me the keys, Stevens,"
laughed Drake, holding out his hands,
"I have ' purchased HrsProntcs so
that I may command her myself."
Drake paused.
"On the whole, I think yon had
better unlock the irons. Captain Stev
ens, since you are master of the ship
) until a formal change is made nt tho
; i Custom House," ho smiled. "There
i is no reason why there should be
1 hard words " or feelings. I . shan't
hold this ironing matter against you,
Perhaps you had excellent reason,
; ' I'm sure we shall continue the voyage
in harmony, and you
"What?" yelled Stevens, fumbling
with the handcuff key. "Me go on
i with you as master? I'd see your neck
I i ns long as my arm firatl You pulled
) I his trick, with your dirty money,
just to spite me. I want no more
I , than to
I - . "No need for loud talking," Drake
I ., cut in, snarpiy. "mrst let us go
. to the Custom House and settle the
I , matter. Then "
i "Then I only want five minutes
I "i talk with you on-noutral ground bo-
I hind the sheds before I pack my dun-
l , uage ior nomei" snarled tttoveus.
t , Drnke nodded grimly as the ironB
i ; , fell from him, then brushed Ills
clothes and hair with his hands and
went .smilingly to Mary. .
( "Miss Mary, if you have read tho
letter Captain Manning tells me he
- sent you, you know that your father
, : has sold the ship to me. It will
mako no difference to your voyage,
except thatt I shall bo your captain
for the rest of the passago. Captain
. i Stevens and I are now -going to ne
gotiate the change of masters. When
I return on board, may I hope to
t havo your company at dinner ashore
I v tonight?"
, "Miss Manning Is going ashore to
: .. dinner with me!" snapped Stevens.
I ' 111 call' for you at five, Mary."
Drake glanced at her face, waiting
for her to speak. There was a gleam
, ! in her dark blue eyes, a tiny pucker
between them. Ho had never seen
that exprcsession bfore in her. Had
ho not believed Mary Manning to bo
i as full of courage as she was of
health, he would have suspected that
look meant fear. Yet there was noth
ing for her to be afraid of. Ho mot
her eyo, and looked his question.
"I promised Captain Stevens," she
said. : ,'
"But I'm not sure Hint Mr. Stevens
will be free," said Drake.
"Sou can bet I'll be the free-est
man In this port as soon as I leave
the Custom House," Stevens grinned.
; "Ilarrin', of course, thut five minutes
of your time' I have bespoke, Captain
I Drake." Stevens in hia turn enipha-
' sued the Captain unduly. .
; :j "Of course, if Mr. Stevens Is free,
you must keep your promise, Mary,"
i Drake laughed easily, meeting the
black glare of Stevens calmly enough.
"But 1 scarcely thing he WIH be. I
shall come for you at five-thirty. No
gentleman expects a lady to wait
more than half an hour for him. Shall
we go ashore now, Fielding? You
ready, Htevons?"
Air. Fielding was very glnd to go.
Thero was too much dyna.mll In the
atmosphere of the Orontes" cabin. He
knew little of the men of the wide
wnfrra. Ue trembled with the dread
I hat these two stalwart, bronsed men
, would back menacing words with
; imirderoiia blows. 1'artleulsrly he
feared Stevens. Like most folk whose
i , lives fall in placid grooves, he believed
1'irgcly In appearance. A grim vlsag-
' cd, knotty, tough looking man was
; more to be feared than a man of the
i pale, smooth, smiling type. And Jake
Mcvens did little to mend that idea
. . as he followed on deck with his pap-
! rrs and certificate, grinding hit pow-
; erful teeth savagely until a tiny
, ;, trickle of blood appeared at the cor
ners of his mouth,
j On the wharf he walked behind the
i others as they sought a cab to take
them lip Adderley street to the Cue-
, torn Hduse. They waited for him.
. i ); He came up to Drake, his glittering
f ! J full of sinister meaning. He
, i! inede no mora towards entering the
, r vehicle.
"What was that funny crack you
i made about me moyhe not being' at
f; liberty tonight?" he demanded. "This
i here's about as good a place as any
. to settle the private matters between
fi you and me."
I Mr. Fielding again lost the air nf
' security that he had regained upon
j stepping ashore. Stevens looked to
f, bun now like nothing so much as a
forbidding brute contemplating mur
der. "Only that you will have to ask
for leave, and you may not get it, Mr.
Stevens," replied Drnke, composedly.
"Ahk for leave?" Little Cher
ubs! Who from You?"
"Kxaetly. And I believe in my
chief officer staying on hoard while
cargo is working out. Come, step in.
Time flies." -
Stevens seemed to choke. He
hurled down his papers on tho road,
and laid a nervous hand on Drake's
arm through the cab door.
"M1 son," rasped he, "you've pulled
something over on mo that I don't
believe any ship master ever had
pulled over, qn him before. But one
thing you can't do. You can't give
Jake Stevens orders on the ship hoi
sailed master of. Tonight I take Miss
Manning to dinner. Tomorrow I
book passage home. Between now
and then mo and you are going to "
"Do get in and let's go, Drnke
'said impatiently. "Do you want to
start brawling out here in daylight
for all the world and Cape Town to
see, then expect to tukc a lady to
dinner like a gentleman? I'll give
you that five minutes, presently. I
woulun t miss it for the world. And
you won't' quit the Orontes cither.
You'll go on as mate, and if you're
decent ubout it you'll lose nothing in
wages, nor will Adams or Twining.
you'll "
"I'll go mate under you? Oh, yes!"
Drake pulled Stevens inside the
cab. . ,. .. .
"You'll be a deserter if vou onit."
Drake said aa they smarted off.
vj m not quitting. I'm superseded!"
snarled Stevens, knowing he had the
right of that. ,
"Perhaps you're right," Drako
rejoined carelessly. "I'crhnps you hod
better quit. I don't want a first mate
who's scared of me. 1 never had
much use- for a coward. If you're
that kind of a quitter, you had bet
ter" mop;" "cnoKeu ntovens, gripping
Drake'a arm fiercely, his face work
ing and writhing as if he Were in im
minent peril of a stroke. "Don't say
another word! .Come on in and get
this thing over. Then give me that
five minutes! two minutes! only just
ono minute 11 clo. Coward? Quitter?
Oh, sweet llttlo Cherubs! Hiiro you

Story by Hal Cochran Drawings by L. W. Redner
TIMBERLAND CHAPTER 19
TY THIS time the driver of ihe aap sled became thoroughly frightened.
"Hang on tight, Jack," he shouted. "I'll try and stop your horse."
And with that he jumped off the fast moving sled and tried to catch
up with the animal. Of course the pnthway was slippery and the driw
could hardly run.
CTJDDENTjY he .came to an icy spot and tumbled down, head overhetlfc
His sled went sailing past him and in a moment he was left eittini
on the ground. There came a clatter and a bang aud tho sap cans rolled
off tho sled, which was tipping this way and that as the horses tore

running from Dotty s horse to the
