Trask starts aboard the Gulf Stream in a wheel chair, and sooner is pushed on deck by \ Keeler than he beholds a girl at the railethe * he dubs her. She is i Kent, a society girl with A mania for nursing, who takes at once to the inter- ested invalid, despite her dragon of an aunt, Miss Grimm. Meanwhile, Keeler makes him- self a hero to Sidney Sands, a girl in the second cabin, con. cealing his identity. Trask missed the boast, leaving her to continue his scientific observa. tions of the weather. His achievement leads to an expos- ing of Trask, which Keeler makes worse by stating to the captain that the invalid is really a mental case, The captain threatens to put thew off when the vessel reaches Key West. "We'll go now, {f"you please, sald Trask, addressing the girl for the first time, and accompanying the words with an offer of his arm. Rather to his own astonishment, she accepted his escort without a mur- mur. He retracted his steps toward ths after part of the ship the girl walk- ing silently at his side. The only at of apparent volition on her part was the withdrawal of her hand from his arm after they had passed from the sight of the two youths so un. cermoniously bereft of her com- pany. Not until they reached an alcove near the stern did Trask stop. He bowed her to a chair, but she made no move to take it. "It think what we have to say will take a very brief time," she observ- ed in a cool, quiet voice. "I beg to differ," sald Trask. "It may take at least half an hour. And thank you for not dismissing me in the presence of your friends." "I am not in the habit of inflict ing my affairs upon my friends or acquaintances, Mr. Trask--if that Is your name, Please be very brief. If it is an apology, don't bother with it. 1 prefer not to be annoyed wita one." "Very well. I'll not apologize. I shall merely tell' you some things. After that you may do as you Pleats ~perhaps." She. looked up quickly at the last- word, but waited for him to pro: ceed. Her lips were set firmly, her eyes cool and steady.

Sup pose you never saw so much money in your lite ds $1500. Sappese you were out of a job when the offer was made, Wauld you. accept it?" "I don't knbw," she answered. "Is this what you came to tell me?" "Part of it. Really, 1 think we'll be less conspicuous, Miss Sands, if we sit down. And I shail peed al least half an hour." Without reply, she went over to the deck chair he had offered and sat. He drew a second chair along side, imitated her sample and be- gan his s{ory. For several minutes Sidney Sands listened impassively. He had placed her where the moonlight partly il- luminated her face and watched her intently as he spoke. It seemed at first to Trask that he might ad well have poured his tale into the car of a recording phonograph for. all the - respofise that it awakened in her. Occasionai- ly she looked directly at him, but for the greater part of the time her gaze was seaward. Yet he knew that sh ing intently. . He had reached that chapter of his misfortunes dealing with the exploits of his runaway wheelchalr, when he thought he detected the first outward display of emotion !n her. It consisted merely in an al most imperceptible tightening of her lips. of the custo- an angry young l was listen- A moment later there was « flickering of an eyelid. Two minutes after that she began drumming on the arm of her chair, following which she wrinkled her nose. She looked up at him as he related the mishap of the man who did not fail overboard, then quickly = glanced away and began biting her undar lip. Presently Trask noticed she had averted her head and that the shoulder nearest him was shaking. *Please turn around, Miss Sands," he said. 'I want your attemtion." She turned, and the tumult that had made her little figure quiver broke forth into unchecked laugh- ter. "Oh! Oh!" she gasped. fectly exquisite!' "Then I am forgiven?" "I--1 think so. Oh, dear! I mean of course-- But go on----pleasel™ "Let's shake hands on it first," he said gravely. She gave her hand frankly and he held it as long as the circum- stances seemed to permit, "1 felt sure you would not be adamant, when you understood the "How per- Lr I A, SA AN, IA lt IA.

Once she stood up in her excite] ment and seemed ahput to break in to a wild dance of joy. Several times she clapped her hands. "And 'Captain Ferris'!" she ex- | claimed. "Tell me everything about | him!" Trask remembered what he could, | even reciting the melancholy tale of 'Keeler's Joves. Parts of it she | listened to with a serious face and! a puzzled wrinking of her fore: head. On one occasion she uttered | what sounded like a little cry of real | sympathy. But generally the laughter was too mach for her. When he had finished, Trask leaned back in his chair and watch ed her. "But there must be more of Mr she cried. "Haven't you really for- gotten something? Tell me more!" T m afraid there yet." She sprang frm ber chair, walk- ed to the rail, rested her hands on it and looked out at sea: Then she turned and faced him, her face glowing, her eyes excited, "What a wonderful adventure!" she said in an awed tome. "And to think--I've been in ft!" "You'd really call it ture?" "Why, it's a great big adventure Aren't ybu terribly excited over it yourself? Oh, please be en- pthusiastic!™ Trask laughed. The unabashed de- light of the adventure girl was something he had never seen In Aa woman before. The sincerity of it was a revelation. "And to think you told me once that you never had any adventures," she sald reproachfully, "just at the very time you were living one!" "Perhaps it. was because I don't know an adventure when I sea one," he offered as an explanation. "You will, after this," she nodded confidently. Then abruptly 'Have you made your peace with Miss Kent?" He shook his head "But you should! She 'is a very ---distinguished-looking girl." He glanced at her narrowly, Sidney Sands never blinked. "She seems to have been very. very kind to you," added Sidney *""Are you laughing at me?" he de manded. "I? No, indeed. "I'm not so sure. But'l wouldn': blame you.
