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

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.
