You see, when I went in- to father's stateroom last night, just to give his instruments a tinal littis pat, his barometers were 'way, 'way down and were acting jumpy.

She sighed "and conunued to watch the work of the monster gale. | heavy shock semt them both fying agalist the wall. From be- low came a nolse so ominous that Trask's heart skipped a beat. It was a sound of tearing metal, a wild jangle of machinery, a pounding against the sides of the ship, as though some giant were wielding a sledge upon her. "It lasted for several seconds, then became suddenly stilled. "Have we struck something?" she asked quickly. - "I don't think so. Wait I'll see«f I can find out." As be went in search of an of ficer, Trask noticed that a per- ceptible change had come dver the! ship. She was rolling sluggishly heavily, as at last weary of the tight. She was no longer exchanging blow for blow with her furious an- tagonist, but seemed to be ylelding to the onslaught, bowing her head to the inevitable. It was even more difficult to walk than before, and Trask made slow Progress. He was gone for several wyinutes, and returned to find her still stand- ing at her post of observation, with a look in her eyes that contained more of curiosity than anxiety. "We broke a shaft," he explain- here. ed. "And we're not moving at all?' "Not much, I'm afraid, although an officer says they'll probably keep the ship under control. There are working." "Well, what does ft mean, then?" "It means that after this . wind blows {tself out we'll go on our war to Galyeston under ome screw. Bunt while this lasts we're actually mov- ing backward. She wasn't any more than holding her own before ft happened." Sidney was plainly interested, but not alarmed. . "1 knew something was going to happen when I looked at father's pet barometers," she said. "I think they must have known amout the shaft. Father insists they are al- most human. They're clairvoyants, anyhow, By the way, did you know they were reading a shade unde: twenty-eight this morning?" } "Is that remirkable?" "Why, it's tremendous! It's an adventure all by itself. Any time a barometer at twenty- { eight you've seed something. When | almost die of remorse for father hears of this hurricane he'll having missed it." . She drew -a deep breath and look- i ed up at Trsk, her eyes bright with excitement. "Why, think!" she exclaimed. | "Here's father studying weather a'l able as is proven by the experience | his life;| here's me who doesn't know anything about it, and doesn't care much, except when it's inter- esting. Yet I can look out of this window and see more weather In one minute than father has seen in years and: years!" "Perhaps your father. will he glad he missed if," said Trask, to whom the hurricane seemed a thing 16 be respected and even dreaded. "Not he!" declared Sidney dis- gainfully, "Father isn't very big, and he's absent-minded, awd he wears thick spectacles. But"--she drew herself up with an obvious display of pride--"if you will over- look the slang, father 1s righ: there!" A Trask could believe it easily. The big spir't 'in 'the little woman had to be accounted for, somehow. Un- doubtedly, It came from father, even if he was scientific and forgot to catch the ship. Before he reallwed ft, himsélf making comparisons he found ba- twéen Sidney and the goaaess of} tha first cabin. He wondered which really be the taller if they sjood side by side now. Despite her lack of physical stature, he had a notion that the damghter of the professor would overtop her sister by at least a head. » "I think your father Is Immense," he said warmly. : "But--ot course, it's fine of you to say {bit you've never even seen him; How cam you think that?™ . "I've seen his daughter. I guess that covers the case." Sidney flushed faintly. "That's the secoma ume you've paid me a compliment," he said. "Thank you again. I'm human en- ough to admit that I like them. Only it's really more of a compli- mént to father than it is to me. In behalf? of father, I also thank you. No; don't look at me that way' Honestly, I'm not laughing at yon again. I think it's mighty nice of you to say you like father just because you've met me.

There was an alr of tense expectancy im the cabin; the atmosphere tingled with electric 'waves of apprehension. i In short, there was no doubt that everybody, including the stewards and the ship's officers, were plain scared!" Yet Trask was surprised to find himself giving less attention to the perils of the ship under his feet than he was to the vivid and sturdy litt! slip of a girl who stood before him In an indefinable yet very positiv way she seemed to be better thar the hurricane itself.

There, rising sullenly on the crest of a comber, was the out line of a vessel---a black, sinister thing, with the stumps of masts sticking out of her deck.
