He was kindly, humorous, bantering
even; and he could smile down upon
her as sunnily as ho had ever done;
but Mary Mas not satisfied with that.
Any man would serve, if that were
nil. .
When Stevens, appeared, coming on

beckoned fo him. lie hesitated with
a queer grin on hia ruggedly good

She ran down the ladder, with the
sheepskin, and waited for him bo

lowed, wondering why Drnke did not
bellow at him.
"What's the trouble, Mary'" he
asked gleefully, joining her.
"Nothing!" she retorted in an un
dertone. "I wanted to see how far

into her face, handling the sheepskin
meanwhile for an cxcunu for being
there. She tdiivored under his gare;

He stepped on the ladder again,
turning midway to rail out, as a
covering lie;
"The less frills you put on them

of."
Sli bells were atrurk, and Mary

Then tardy sleep stole in upon her.

Adams, and pulled the last drop out
of th bottle. lit was fall of ardor.
kHe knew what sly minxes girls were,
especially when they have a man
hanging on a string. He knew bow
to handle them, too. He stumbled a
bit as he walked, but there was auffi-
- rient motion to the ship to excuse
that even in an able chief mate.
"North b' east, win's steady, he
reported to Adams.
"North my east, wind steady, sir,"
repeated Mr. Adams, taking over the
watch. He followed Stevens curi

opened the door.
For an instant he stood In the half

sanctity of the little room. The bulk
head lamp was turned low. A soft
half light shone down upon the bed,
outlining the girl's gently breathing
breast. Her hair lay loose on the
pillow, with one hand entwined in it.
The other hand lay across her waist,
rising and falling as she breathed.
And her lips smiled, slightly parted
over gleaming while teeth.
Stevens inhaled a tremendous
breath, fighting to keep it inaudible.
Stealthily he shut the door behind
him, and stole to the bed. The faint
perfume that lingered about her
night clothes drove him to complete
frenzy. Swift as a tiger's leap, and
as certain, he slipped his great arms
around her warm slim body, and
drew her fiercely to him. Swiftly her
