RATH Author of "The Nervous Wreck," ete. Spencer Trumball, in order to be near his girl in the Adiron- dacks instead of taking a health trip, hires his old col lege and war-days chum, Billy Trask, to make the sea trip in his place and promises him $1,000 and expenses if he takes his place under the eye and care of Keeler, a male nurse, who is a stranger to both, and thus fulfill the orders of Trum- bull's father's physician. Trask starts aboard the Gulf Stream is a wheel chair, and no sooner is pushed on deck by Keeler than he belolds a girl at the rail--the "goddess," he dubs her. She is Miss 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, com- 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 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. Trask determines to defeat the captain's purpose and stay aboard, in which Miss Sands aids him. , A forenoon of exploration aboard the dereiiot did not reveal much that they had not discovered the night before. It was too wel to go below with comfort. Trask had been hopipg to dis cover 'a boat, although in what di- rection he would have navigated it he haa not the least idea. The bin- nacle compass was smashed and he could find no other aboard. But the boals had been swep: away, with the exception of one tha: was so hopelessly stove in that it was good only for kindling wood. He had never seen the girl so happy. She appeared delighted with costume. At times she was in a bantering mood teasing him about the goddess of the first cabin. She played a great deal with the kitten, which had com- pletely recovered its spirits and now followed her about the deck. She | scarcely ever joined in watching the sea for ships, not seeming 10 care whether they were discovered or not. it was past midday when she aroused him from ah abstracted study of the horizon and shouted gleefully into his ear: "Bottles!" ~ "What about bottles?" "I've found heaps of them. corks, too. We're going to messages!" "Who to?" "Why, to anybody--everybody! To ourselves. Oh, 1 could shake you for standing there langhing!" "Show me your bottles," he said. She directed him back to the galley and proudly displayed an assortment of bottles, of all shapes and sizes. "I'm afrald the cook was a per- an And send | son of bad habits, { be set her down. "But bis botlies are { very useful now, Billy, you rua | down into the cabin and see if you | can find some paper and pencils. | We'll begin right away." : He obeyed hér and returned pres- ently with the necessary articles. Sidney sprawled face down on the deck and immediately began composition of a message. She fin- od half a sheet of paper, rolied it up, slipped #t Into a bottle and pound- ed the cork into place "That's a message addressed to you," she announced. He reached for the bottle. "Indeed, mo!" she exclaimed jumping up dnd tossing the battle into the sea. "It has to go through) the mail first." "But I may never get it." "well you know most of what's in it, anyhow," ghe said, with blush. "I told it to you last night." She was writing again and pres- ently dispatched another missive ipn- to the ocean. "That was to CSptaip telling him where we are," nounced. "Well, Blodgett, she an- where are we?" "Right here, of course." "But where is this ship? Sidney looked back and leagtiod "I'll have to write him another' she said seizing a fresh sheet of} paper. "What ls our latitude and | longitude, Billy?" "1 haven't the faintest notion.' "But we must have latitude and jongitude," she insisted. "The worst of it is. 1 always get them mixed. and down?" "Crosswise, I think." "Wall, we'll have to guess at it 1 expect. I'm going to put in enough anyhow. "There--Latitude 256 that's enough latitude 10 west' And I'll add Mexico," so they'll know "1f I might suggest, latitude is al- Ways north and south, as I remem ber it." observed Trask with great gravity. "And I think you 've put it a bit too high. I don't think there is so much latitude." "I'll change it in the next bottle," she sald, flinging her third mes- sage to the waves. He had a struggle to keep from laughing. She appeared to be quite serious, but plainly enthus fastic. "Now for Keeler." she said, be- ginning another letter. "I'm telling him we are engaged. He'll want to know." The Keeler letter followed its predecessors overboard. Then came a series of missives for Aunt Mehe- tabel, Miss Kent and the youth who won the potato race in the second cabin. "And I'm sending one to the two ol ladies in father's stateroom," re- marked Sidney, as she wrote. "I'm asking them to please keep the charts up and all the instruments going. Poor dears! I'm atraia they won't know how, but father will be dreadfully disappointed if they don't get something down." After that she wrote several To Whom It May Concern." in which the position of the derelict bark was stated with distinct variations. "You see," she explained, we're not actually -at any of those places just mow, we're likely to ar- east' 'Longituda 'Gulf of where it * she remarked as | the | al i Does latitude Tun crosswise, or up) oye! | A Wonder for { | { | sae world in Pape's Diapepsin fo rive at one before we { went to t! } fl | tance from Vents, Bowever BE Wad said moth i to Sidney.
