Bettington wns musing on this
when he felt a hand on his shoul­
der. It was Sam. Sam was look­
ing In the direction of Todd. His
great flat face was distorted with
rage.
“I seen him kissing my gal,”
¡ Sam growled.
Bettington shook himself free of
the sailor’s grasp. “He's young and
good looking, and you’re not."
Sara paid no attention to this.
He was still glaring at the retreat­
ing wireless operator. If murder
looked out of human eyes It was
focused on Todd then by the deep-
chested sailor.
Bettington was glad he had an
excuse to get away from the angry
brute. “I must change my clothes
for dinner," he said.
They had to wait for Iladway.
Bettington hoped that the owner
would not come to dinner.
Mary Unwin was plainly nerv­
ous. Mrs. Iladway showed no fear
at all. She wus playing a bright
little dance by Chaminade when
Radway came In. His face was
still highly congested. Clements
met him with the Inevitable cock­
tail.
It was toward the end of dinner
that Radway made his one remark.
It was addressed to Bettington.
There was a mocking politeness In
his voice.
"Is It part of your contract to
dine with your employer?”
“Unfortunately it Is,” Bettington
returned Instantly.
There waB silence until Mrs.
Radway and Mary left. Bettington,

stared at the financier. He felt he
had never detested any living be­
ing so much. This was the man
who had murrled beautiful Evelyn
Whitburn and had made her mis­
erable. This was the man who had
promised her so much and had
done so little. He wondered what
violent passages there had been in
their lives. She had admitted that
! there was a possibility of danger
for her when he wns In this state;
and It wns no new thing for him to
be as he was now.
He watched Radway rise, this
time not steadily, and go to his
quarters. Bettington made his way
to the nfter quarter deck.
It was Clements who Interrupted
his unhappy meditations. Clem­
ents presented an unusual appear­
ance of haste.
“It’s Iladway,” he cried, “you'd
better come at once. I don’t know
what’s the matter.’’
Iladway is lying on the floor In­
sensible.
“No wonder nfter what he's
drunk this week,” Clements said.
“Absolutely dead to the world.”
He watched Bettington stoop down
and carry Ilndwny to the bed. "By
Jingo, but you’re strong!" be said.
“I don’t think this is drink alone,"
Bettington said. "I don’t like It at
all."
dements had no suspicion that
Bettington was not n skilled physi­
cian. It chnnced flint Iliirrowgnte,
the celebrated painter, hnd Just such
a seizure ns this in the studio he
shared with Bettington In Rome. The
doctor who attended him put Har-
rowgate’s feet in hot mustard and
water and applied Ice to bls hend.
Clements saw Bettington loosen the
senseless man's clothing and then
begin the treatment.
After a while Iladway opened his
eyes.
"I remember falling,” he said
presently. ”1 must have knocked
myself out. I’ll be all right In
the morning.” In a sense he dis­
missed them peremptorily.
They heard him bolt the door
when they were outside it.
“Clements," Bettington snld with
¡conviction, “you’ve helped him to
kill himself. That man s very 111."
"Nonsense," dements said. “You’re
a surgeon and this sort of thing
isn’t your line at all. It's like ask­
ing a racehorse to pull a huck­
ster’s van. As for my helping 1dm
to kill himself, that's nlwurd. What
that man has wanted he has taken.
The whole world knows that."
“I suppose so," Bettington ad­
mitted. After all. neither he nor
a steward had any control over
Radway’s appetites.
“I want you to meet the other
men,” Clements said.
‘Tve seen them already," Betting­
ton returned.
“You are to meet them on a <11 f-
(ferent footing this time. They feel
you have no right to be supercil­
ious. There is only one boss among
them, and I’m he. They are to be
in my stateroom within a few min­
utes. For your own good. I advise
you to seek their goodwill."
Bettington looked at him squarely.
“If you think I'm going to make j
a bosom friend of men like Sam
and that hrngdog Ilamner, you are
mistaken. I did not elect to come
on this trip and I shall behave as
I choose. I signed on as ship's
surgeon. Very well, I'll piny the
part, but whenever did you know of
a ship’s surgeon making a compan­
ion of a deck hand?"
They traversed the length of the
ship In silence. Bettington felt cer­
tain that Clements was enraged nt

di nation.
“1 Wil! not hnve my plnns Im­

safety of Ills stateroom. "You must
be careful not to risk any quarrel­
ing with them. They are hot-head­
ed and feel you are reveling lu lux­

“You are flunking of Metzger?"
“Particularly of him.

“Hnve you forgotten that the

There was a subtle change
in dements' bearing.

Bettington bowed to them ami­
ably. He longed to transfer their
faces to canvas. Each one a dif­
ferent type and yet each wholly
villainous. The cook was the most
picturesque; Hamner the one lie
most disliked. Graumann looked
like a wolf without disguise.
The meeting resolved itself Into
a kind of committee meeting Lu
which accounts of the past week’s
business was demanded by the
chairman. There was no wild, in­
cendiary talk.
When the others had gone Ret-
tington turned to the steward.

Bettington shook his head ob­

“The cases are not parallel.

Her fortunes are not dependent on

"You miss the whole point of it,”
Clements returned. “She, like Rad­

easiest way out."
“Out of what?” Bettington cried
sharply.
“Difficulties. I shall not specify
them. One is named Sum and the
other Is known as Metzger.”
