'It was rather shabby, as maybe you noticed. So 1 took the chance while you were on deck to send it down to the ship's valet. And all T had to wear was this, sir." "And you've just been waiting to get your clothes pressed? "That's it, sir; absolately.™ "But. that doesn't explain where you ever accumulated such a beaut!- Keeler. It fascmmatss me." ; "Would you mind waiting while I change, Mr. Trumbull?" Keeler made a step in the dfree< tion of the adjoining stateroom, but was halted by a peremptory com- mand. "Don't change, | beg of you. Yon are magnificent, just. as you are. Who's your tailor?" "Please, sir, would you mind let- ting up on me? I'm sorry you saw me this way! it won't happen again." "But I was hoping It was per- manent, Keeler. Ordinarily you re- mind me too much of an unde taker. This makes you positively human. You must have been " a gay boy in your time, Keeler. Keeler disclaimed the distinction with a shrug. "You seemed dressed for a party. Do you ever go to parties, Keelar?"" "I've mo time for them, sir. I'll get your milk now,, if you plbase." "Walt, Keeler. Let's talk, It's doing me worlds of good, just to look at you. Can you dance?" Keeler's face wore a shocked ex- pression. "I never thought of such a thing, Mr. Trambuil." "Really? You never danced?" ' "Never, sir" "Keeler, you are a lar." Trask said « it very : pleasantly; he accompanied the words with a good-natured smile. Keeler stiffea- ed visibly, but he he was mors of- fended than angry. "You surprise me, sir!" - "Who's the little girl with brown hair, Keeler?" The figure of the nurse crump- led. There was a chair near by and he sat in"it déspondently. His eyes were down east, and it was several seconds before he rallied them to t meet the gaza of Trask. "You saw me, then, ventured. . the sir?" he "Who Is the Lady?" "I "had that very great pleasure," acknowledged Trask. "What's the name of that forward and back step, with the little side twist?" Keeler's hands fumbled with each other, "But, chiefly, who is the lady?" ""She's--a---second-cabin passen- ger, sir. You'd not be interested. "I'm immensely interested. What's her name?" "I don't know, sir." "How did you discover her?" Copyright, 1926. br G. Howand 'Watt. Keeler was becoming inerealingly restless. "May I change sir?" my clothes now, | have anything to say about it. You're a joy. Who is she?" ~ . "Truly, I don't know her name, Tair. 1--1 just met her at the dance." "You went a-dancing and you mst lady. It sounds romantic. . What her name sound like?" Hit sounded something Sands, sir." "Good! We're getting along. And 'this lady whose name sounds some- thing like Sands---she's a very nice lady. 1 take it?" "Wonderful, sir!" Keeler spoke with sudden en- thusidsm, recollected Rimself and relapsed into a posture of dejection and gulit. "Keeler, about you?" "Mr. Trumbull!" "Tut, tut, Keeler, I'll take a ciga- refte, if you please. I'm sure that Dr. Van Norden" Keeler sighed and reached into a coat pocket, from which he drew forth a paper package. - "I really shouldn't, sir; but Trask reached for the cigarettes and helped himself. With a shake of his head Keeler handed him a match. The cigaretie lighted, Trask lounged back in his chair again and smoked luxuriously for a minute. "Life is a series of compromises, Keeler, he observed contentedly. "We are just beginning to under. stand each other. Now, tell me all about this second-cabin affair, I'm sure to be sympathetic. 1 euvy you this minute. If I could have been In your place a quatier of an hour ago I should be entirely happy. But |t is better to sit in the gallery, even if you can't be part of the than not to see it at all Keeler." "May I smoke, sir?" "Do, I insist." Keeler tapped a cigarette on back of his hairy hand, applied match to it and inhaled deeply. "There are some things that are just between you and me, sir," he prefaced. Trask nodded. "Well, it's something like this, Mr. Trumbull. I haven't always had | A very cheerfu) te, sir. I've. had "ips and downs, as'they say. I've worked hard, mostly. There's not much amusement in my present pro- fession, sir. There's times I have to get a change. Partly that accounts for these clothes. They're a change, as perhaps you've noticed." "Emphatically." _ "On duty, sir, I dress quiétly and in a proper manner. But if I have an hour or so off, Mr. Trumbull, why, that's different. And yet=P¥ry to kedp things in good taste. You don't think there's amything loud. or of- fensive, sir, in this suit?" "It's exquisite," said Trask. "Thank you, sir. Well, you see, it was this looking for a change that took me down into the second cabin, When the lady; Miss Kent; said she'a look after you a while, it seemed like a good chance for me. I didn": intend to stay more than am hour; it's only been an hour and a half, at that, sir. And I couldn't go down there in my other clothes, Mr. Trum- bull." "Certainly not." "S80 I changed, .sir, before 1 went. They have dancing down thers every day, Mr. Trumbuil. I beard about it. I saw them yesterday. It's a great recreation, sir." Keeler sighed reminiscently and was answered by an understanding nod. "I could see no Harm in it," he went on. "Particularly, sir, after you'd told the lady about the bullets in your legs. We all have our little faults, Mr. Trambull*" Trask blushed.

The first cabin people seem to be working under a pull all the time, sir. They don't let go. Théy're exciusive. Now, down in the second {cabjn they run things the other | way "Everybody's Having a good tithe. They play games- and hey they come, It's the way I like, sir. There's no trouble to get ac quainted down there. They take you at your face value, sir." "Is that the way they took you?" inquired Trask, reinspecting Keeler's raiment. "Yes, sir; at face value," said Keeler, a little proudly. "Anybody's weolcome--provided he's a gentle- man, Mr. Trumball™ "And this lady who dances only a degree better than yourself? Did she take you at face value?" "Miss Sands?" "She Traveling Alone." "I see that the name comes rather réadily,": observed Trask, grinning. "1 danced with her three times, sir. She's a very interesting young lady. She did me the hesor, Mr. *| Trumbull, to say that I danced very well." "She didn't go far enough," pro- tested Trask. "She ought to have said that you danced like a bare. legged Russian." Keeler flushed again, but nowledged the compliment. "Is she also accompanied by dragon?" asked Trask. "She seems, sir, to be traveling quite alone. At least, T met nobody with her. But down in the second cabin, Mr. Trumbull,- such thing: are all right" "Don't be a snob. Keeler. Of course they're all right! I wish to heaven there were no dragons in the first cabin. Well, go on." "Why, that's about all, sir. 1} found that my time was up, so I hurried back. I am sorry you were here ahead of me. I hadn't figured to say anything about the matter, sie" "So 1 observe. But it happened that Miss Kent wheeled me over so that I could wateh the dancing." "And she saw me?" asked Keeler breathlessly. "I don't believe she you." "I certainly hope not." "What difference would it make?' "I--1 wouldn't wish to embarrass you, sir." Trask threw away his with an impatient gesture. "Keeler," he said, "there are times when you make me positively isgusted with your hypoerisy. 1 don't like your funeral pose, I lika you better when you are dancing with Miss Sands: In fact, T believe 1 should like to dance with her my- sell." Keeler was startled. 'But that's impossible, sir." "While I'm in a chair---yes. But it 1 ever get out of this thing yon can't tell what will happen. You like the second eabin, do you? « "It's certainly the life," murmur- od Keeler fervently. "And now may I have a moment to change, sir?" "Go ahead and change. Make a graveyard of yourself, it you want to." Keeler disappeared into room, while Trask relapsed ints profound thought. He was not con- corning himself with the problem of his perplexing nurse, His mind was wholly on the affairs cf the second cabin. There was life there--life, light and laughter. He had seem with his own eyes. He had scanned the low- er deck closely for grouchy old gentlemen, but saw nope. Not even an Aunt Mehetabel showed herself 1, the merry company.
