THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ET RTT S% x " "THE GIRL IN THE SECOND CABIN" By E J, Author of "The Nervous Wreck," ete. lr RATH Spencer Trumbull, in order to be near his' girl in the Adiron- dacks insfead of taking a health trip, hires his old col- lege and war-days chum, Billy Trask, to make' the sea trip in piace and promises him 000 and expenses if he takes under the eye and care r, a male nurse, who a stranger to both, and thus fulfill the orders of Trum- bull's father's physician. Trask starts aboard the Gulf Stream in a wheel chair, and no sooner is pushed on déck by Keeler than he beholds a girl at the rall--the "goddess," he dubs her. She is Miss Kent, a soclety 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 breaks bounds and meets Sid. ney, daughter of an absent. minded professor, who has missed the boat, leaving her to continue his sciemtific 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 them off when the vessel reaches Key West. He groaned. Any fool of a walter should 'have remembered coffee and rolls without being told. It mean another journey. The rolls would not stay on ths plate. They skidded and scattered He went for more and the second lot-were soon 'rolling merrily about with their fellows on the floor of the saloon, But he held stoutly t» the coffee. The third batch of rolls he jammed Into his pockets, while he carried the plate under his arm . She looked at the rolls and shook her head. "I do not eat soft rolls, William. Bring the other kind." "TH bo----"" "William!" "I beg your pardon." "Hard rolls." She said it after the manner of a judge pronouncing sentence. He bowed to the inevitable. He brought them, but he bowled over a newly arrived passenger, which Involved a delay incident to picking her up. Sidney Sands finished, her break- fast in the same placid manner in which she began it. Trask was reeling at her elbow, but she gave no sign that she was aware of his presence. : The ship leaped and careened like a mad thing. It seemed to be run- ning "amok in an ocean gone ber- serk. Sidney brought the table and she deal. Trask could have boxed her ears--but he was proud of her. A girl who could be whimsical in a hurricane was clearly no common person. "Are figger bowls served morning, William?" He glared at her. her appetite to gave it a square this "No*~nor soup!" he barked into her ear. . > She averted her head quickly and pressed her handkerchief to her lips. In a second or two she recover- ed herself, looking up at him with solemn eyes. "Very well, William. the finger bowl." She opened a bag that lay in her lap, fumbied in it for a minute and then graciously offered him a coin. He took it mechanically and looked at it. It was a nickel. 5 "I've 'enjoyed my breakfast, Wii- Ham," she said sweetly, He did not know whether to frown or to grin. A nickie! Thai was a crowning impertinence. "Shall I help you to the door? ma'am?" he asked. "No, thank you. I can do very nicely." He had a mad desire to pick her up, tuck her under his arm and carry her out, as a spoiled child may be removed from a parior. But she was gone before he decided whether to act upon the impulse. She pir- ouetted her own down the wildly tilting floor, without ever touching the chairs or tables, apparently an- ticipating every movement of the ship. "Confound her!" he growled. "She ought to be spanked. But isn't she a wonder? Wait till I get out of this uniform! I'll--I'1--" He left the thought unfinished, for the Gulf Stream now entered upon such an amazing series of contortions that all he could do was to hold fast to a column and won- der how soon the end wowa come. He regarded it as an act of Prov- idence that bis breakfast {patrons were few. Somehow he managed to finish out the meal. Of course, he did 'more damage than any other waiter in the place; but that did not bother him at all. He felt happy every time he broke something; it suited his mood, A nickel! Huh! "Say," sald Trask, as he leanad weakly against the wall. "At what hour do we hit Key West?" Harrison the head steward, look- ed at his substitute waiter In sur- prise. "Key West?" he repeated. "We'ra not going to Key West." *"What?" "In. a hurricane like this? Not 0a your life. The old man wouldn"t take a chance of trying - to make port in this blow. We're standing out into the Gulf, looking for plenty of searoom." Trask was incredulous. "And we won't go to Key West a* Never mind fall?" "Not on this trip. We'll do we'l if we make Galveston. This is some hurricane." Trask whooped and threw serving napkin isto. a corner. "Harrison," he said, "this is where I quit you. You've been a mighty good sport, but I don't like your job any more. You can call Henry back, Judging by the size of the crowd this morning, I guess you'll have plenty of waiters for lunch and dinner. Good-by, old man. God bless you! I've won my het!" He made a dash for the servants' his Awe arr os oA RE 5 - Ah + 3 FOR' Hereafter instead of soda take a little "Phillips Milk of Magnesia" in water agy time for indigestion or sour, acid, gassy stomach, and relief will come instantly. .

The Gulf Stream was making the best of a very bad job. There were moments when it seemed impossible that she could free herself from tba avalanches of water flung upon her! decks; yet always she managed to | stagger through, shaking, tremb-| ling, groaning from stem tp stern. Her powerful screws sufficed to keep her head to the sea, but she was gaining not an inch of distance Great gusts of rain, borne on the wings of a hurricane that blew out of the northeast, shut off a view of | the sea for minutes at a time, that the ship fought her battle bilndly, almost instinctively. Trask slowly made his way to the saloon, clinging precariously to every object that onered support He felt helpless as a child. A white-faced man - passed him, his lips mumbling as if he were repeat- ing a prayer. Two® women, clinging to each other, halted .him to ask where the life preservers were kept He told them there was no danger then realized that he knew absolute- ly nothing about it. He saw the girl atthe farther end of the saloon, standing close to a porthole and looking out at the tempest. Her eyes were wide with wonder, but there was no terror in them. Trask managed to reach her side after hazardous navigation among the furniture. She was un- conscious of his presence until he spoke. The awful seas had a fascipation for her almost impossible to shake off. She uftered a little exclamation when she saw he had discarded his walter's uniform. ' "You'll be caught!" He shook his head and laughed. "We don't make Key West at all. It's all off, on account of the storm." The news seemed to disappoint her, "Then all our planning wasn't necessary," she sald with a sigh. "I did so want to fool Captain Blod- gett. But I think the least you could have done was to play the game for the rest of the day." + "She bestowed a little frown up- on him, plainly displeased &t his de- sertion from the ranks. : "And have you keep on treating me the way you did at breakfast?" She laughed in his face. "Wasn't it fun?" she exclaimed "Were you awfully angry?" "There was a minute when I could have boxed your ears and done it with a clean conséience." : "1 know it! You- looked it. But T couldn't resist-the temptation; you were so awfully stern ana serious Really, I think it's mein of you not to serve my lunch and dinner Won't you put on your uniform again?" "You'll be sorry it I do. I have a score to settle. 'I stood for it at breakfast, but at lunch there'd be a revolution. I don't think they want me any more, either; 1 broke tod many dishes." . "That's one of the things I lik- ed about it," she sald, still laugh- ing. "I suppose my idea of humor is cruda, but every time I go to a vaudeville theatre I always ¢ry to pick but one where they have a juggler who smashes dishes. I love ft! 1 think you'd make a wonder- ful juggler, Mr. Trask.™ "1 thought it was 'William".,"" he reminded her. "That was for the walter," she "You wouldn't expect we ro call a waiter 'mister'?™ "No. But now that I'm not a waiter, 1 rather expect you to call me 'Billy'.™ "1 might call you 'Spencer'." she sald, after a pause. "If you ever dare to remind me of Trumball again I'l--I'll--8az, you're having a lot of fun with me, arent's youl!" She admitted it with a nod. "Ah right, Sid, but my time will come." ; "It came right then!" she erled. "Don't you ever let me hear you sa" 'Sid" again! 1 bate It; It makes me shudder.
