He steadied himself, waited for the momentary safety of sn even keel, then flung himself forward and gripped tha back of her chair, clinging 4d perately, his jegs spread wide apart in the aisle. Sidney studied her menu ' witk appalling calmness. The fact thal her forks and knives and spoons were chasing each other in a mad dance among the racks seemed not to distract her attention im the lenst. "You may bring me grapefruit, Henry," she sald, without looking up. Trask gulped and took a fresh grip on her chair. Was it possible she had forgotten! "Not Henry!" he half ledning over her shoulder. She turned and glanced at him. It was a swift glance, but it com- prehended his blue uniform, his brass buttons and the napkin that fhouted, {lay across his arm. "fwhy,_ of course," she sald, with a slight nod. "It's William---not penry. Grapefruit, WilHam!"" Trask stood swaying, dazed.

She wanted grapefruit! It was ab- surd--impossible--Iit was a dream, of coursé. But she wanted grape- fruit; The*Gulf Stream was fighting for life in a tropic cyclone, with the odds, likely enough, sgminsi her. But Sidney Sands wanted grape- fruit! hy Well, she should have it! Trask set his resolution grimly to the task. SHe should have grapefruit, it the ship turned over. He sprawled against a table, clung to it for several seconds, then dived headlong for an from pillar, which marked another step vn the journey. He glanged back. She was still sitting there, her swivel chair tipped at a threatening angle, her feet swinging clear of the floor But fie noted that she sat tight and secure. Of all the human folk in cabin, she seemed the surest steadiest. - He was close to the swinging doors now, only a clear space infer- vening.
