A. StRVKTt uv (Continued) HlIK business of trai.Nferring own- .A endup and coininnnU of the Or- ontes was not a long thy inntter. 1 tc wheels had been greased very effect ively through cable negotiations while the nliip was on her way out the I ape. When signatures were affixed to documents there whs nothing else to do prior to the clearing of the ship when ready to proceed. Mr. Fielding looked vastly relieved, lie could Indulge his courteous nn- i ture to, tho limit in extending good wiles and congratulations to his new 1 t client without being momentarily in : i ' fear of some outburst from glower i ing Jako Stevens. i "Itenlly, sir, it would bo better if . 1 you let the man go! he said. A j horrid fellow! A perfect brute, I ' . imagine." .': Drake laughed pleasantly as he bade Yielding good day. f f "I like Hteveus," he said. "I have ... a feeling that we shall yet wind up i , i the voyage good friends." J When the lawyer departed, Drake spent an hour looking for Stevens ( In the first saloon bar he visited they tWft, said Jake had just left with another : i man after taking two hurried drinks, ? In the next place, stumbled upon by chance after several blanks had been 1 , drawn, Stevens bad been alone, had bought rum, and gone on. Drake tried one more place, nearer the - docks, and then went aboard, for the clock pointed close to five. He woh tj pleased, rather, that Jake had chosen to load up with Cane Smoke before I , taking that five minutes' interview.'! ' He knew there was a chance , that, t when a man started out to drown his 3 grievances in liquor, other things ' i vera likely to get drowned, too. He i . hoped Jake would fail to show up, ao 'i that be and Mary could enjoy an t ovenlng together. A drunken man would be easier to handle than a cold obcr one; but in any condition Jake Stevens was going to be a handful, s and Drake for dnce felt vain enough to want to present a good appearance i : before Mnry.' There were clothes In t that sea-chest and sea bag that had I . i come to him by steamer; clothes fit I for genteel wear. ! . - J "Mister Stevens aboard yet?" ho i . - asked Twining at the gangway. I :t "No no, sir," replied the mate i r with a queer Binirk. .Ab he answered I i be regarded Drake whimsically, as if i conjecturing whether anything that l - 1 bad happened on the passage nut as : : 1 between first mate and ship's boy I could be brought against himself now. : 3 Drake almost grinned back. "He was aboard," added Twinuag. "ITe came I off half an hour ago in that white I barque's boat. . I think Miss Man- 1 . , ning sow him. Ho went away in i i ; tho same boat." 1 , , :J ! f "How did ho seem?" ! "Angry, sir, very angry' replied .y Twining with a grin, i bi "Liquor'" ! i "A little, sir." ' , Drake laughed, and thrust out his i i t hand. , j "Yoifro n good fellow, Twining," , ho Haid, "Until other arrangement! ( ; . ; oun be made, you carry on as you go. , : Start working out tho cargo as soon ;; ns the lighte'rs come alongside. What i ever changes have to he made, you will not suffer materially; and you may tell Adams tho same thing ap plies to him. Please have the boot i ready for Miss Manning and myself :t at-five-thirty. Tut Joe Hunting and ,j Jsick Coombs Into the boat, and let ! i Joe pick two more men; then the four of thera can stay ashore until we i re ready to come aboard." "Aye, aye, sir," responded Twlntni. t; i In the big saloon Mary sat writing (letters. She looked up with quick ;pprehenBlon which changed to re tflef when she saw who It was. ! "So you are coming to dinner with ftneV" smiled Drake. i ; "I'm not sure I want to go out 'with anybody she retorted. Her tone was irritable rather than angry, Captain Stevens was offensive when be returned. He upset mo enough xor one nay." Drake had dragged his sea-chest and bag futo a small unused state room, and answered her through the open door as he unlocked the chest "You can catch tho mail tomorrow iWltb the letters you have ready. We'll go past the postoffice. A little run out to ttreen Point, a nice little din ! v Her beside the sea, with music? Or i would you prefer to run out to Iton- ;, idfBbuocli? Ihata a gorgeous suburb. 'Mary. All roses, rhododendrons, sil ver leaf bushes and vineyards" "I haven't said I'm going any where!" alio retorted sharply. i-ernaps, lor ine nrst time, we bad better say Urecn Point," he went jon, dragging out evening clothes and flinging them on tho bunk. Her blue eyes flashed, and her red Hps pouted, . -'3 but he chattered on as If she onlv existed as something to do things for. "I haven's been out there since I was a Trent ice kid. Corkjng place, though. Hotter start getting ready. If the letters are finished. No use going to a plaeo for dinner after din ners over." A good dinner, a bottle of good wine, and excellent music completed i tho work of bringing Mary hack to normal. Drake helped, of course. He was out to enjoy himself and went to the limit. Mnry was amated at the Infinite lights flashed by thla man ahe had seen only as a very rough f. diamond except for that brief moment at hia gate, which was not a meeting at all. Drake drank a good deal of , ' wine; not more than would have been usual at home; not more than a gentleman migh drink safely; but enough, after abstinence, to loosen . htm up and make him sparkle. ) Hia laughter was a thing of sheer ' jollity and fun. ' I "Home day yoVre going to fall In . ; i love, 'Mary, and you won't have very far to fall," ha said softly. She low . t ered her eyes and colored warmly. She was almost ready to answer his f challenge lightly, when a waiter ap proached. A "Captain Drake, a man at the rear I bar wants to speak to you." "Can't he come here?" asked Drake ? alightly annoyed. "Who Is he?" i "I think he a one of your men from the ship, sir. He iM.'t well, he's " tluf man hesitated, but Drake under stood. Whoever it migh be was prob ably drunk. "AH right," le said, rising. "Excuse mo. Mary. I'll be back in a minute." He followed the waiter to the rear of the place. There .was a bar which was used by drivers and underlings. A great iioiKe was going on inside, mostly made by one man. And as Drake edged his way in, at the wait er's heels, he recognized . the , voice with a sharp tightening of his nerves. In a moment he came face to face with Jake Stevens, as drunk, as mixed liquor could mnke him, and ramping mad. ' " "That's th' bully hoy!" roared Jake, lurching forward and walloping Drake heavily on the shoulder with That's the bully boyl" roared Jake. an open hand. "Tried to dodge ine, bey V Tried to chouse me outn fi' minutes conv'rs'hun. I'm goin' to break y Into li'l bits an' stuff y' down a sewer! I'm goin' t' " Drake seized him by the arm and hauled him sharply to the door, while the rowd followed gleefully, all keyed up for a gorgeous bit of sport. The licking of a dreys suit bloke was al ways good for a crowd. Stevens lurched along behind Drake, cursing horribly, beating nt the strong grip that towed him fuxter than his un steady feet wanted to travel. His eyes were almottt hidden under scowl ing browse his face was swollen and purple with heated blood; his big strong hands were scarred and bleed ing as If ho had already tried hia fists out on somebody else. Itight behind him lurched another seaman, perhapH the mnster of the white barque, , Outside the door, still in the radius of light from the bar windows, Drake straightened Stevens up , and shook him. "Mister Stevens, you are a disgrace to your ship! You will go hack to Cape Town and go aboard the ship at once. You hear ine 7" "Hark to th' bloody Btowaway dude!" cackled Stevens, turning for approval to his companion, who had subsided Into a thick bush of tdtrub bery na soon as be ceased moving ahead, " 'Nother good niau gone wrong," StevenB said, sagely. Then he turned ferociously upon Drake and shook his hand off. VThey wouldn't let me come up to Join you an' Mary, ao I got 'em to fetch you down," lie said. "You stole my girl, you dirty rat! You stole my hip, you little bit o " "That's enough, Stevens! Arc you going aboard "Yes, by God! So arc you, on a shutter! Jake swung a terrific right fist which split Drake's cheek like a knife splits a ripe mnngo. and hurled Jiim headlong into the bush where Jake's companion snored uneasily.
