Joan was dead, but things did not
end there. He -must rouse Dick
•QharlUn. who was obviously the per
son, to handle this, A knock on his
door brought Dick out, his book still
in his hand.
“Come quick, Charlton,” said Mac
duff, “Joan Foster is dead. She
jumped into the pool. It was drain
ed, ficr landing tomorrow.”
For once in his life, words tumb
led from Macduff’s lips without de
liberation. His eyes were bloodshot
behind the impersonal glare of his
spectacles. Dick went white and
caught at his arm, Without a word
he followed Macduff across the cor
ridor and passed from1 brilliant light
into the darkness of the pool. Brief
ly he hung ovei’ the edge, then cov
ered his face with his hand,
stretched out an arm and
him round the shoulders.
“It's all right old man,”
realizing that the girl had meant
something In (Charlton’s life. “It
would have been hell for her, if she
lived.”
“She came to my room tonight. I
shut the door in 'her face,” The words
were squeezed through Dick’s clos
ed teeth. He pulled himself to
gether. He was the chief officer. “I
must report at once to Captain Bar
ing,” he said automatically.
Once more Dick looked at
whose pale body was moving
with the rise and fall of the
The rhinestones shone like cat’s eyes
through the green gloom. A dark
trickle spread over the tiles.
Macduff went down to his cabin,
Which was as austere as when he
sailed. He had spurned the spears of
Borneo, the leopard skins of Darjeel
ing, the Mandarin robes of China and
was landing empty-handed. He turn
ed on all the lights, to shake -off the
feeling that he had been staring for

Tlie flying steps of ex
cited girls could be heard along the
corridors. Everything seemed extra
ordinary clear, now that the ship had
anchored. Macduff felt as if he had
emerged from the Cave of the winds.
At last he fell asleep.
Angla’s name was on his lips
when he wakened five hours later,
looking as hard as a rock, sober and
fresh. His first thought was, “I’ll
soon be saying good-bye.” Then he
remembered Joan, with a catch of

him to buy in
along the corridor and out
deck, to find that they were
slowly up the bay in the haze of the
early morning. The shore and the
water seemed deadly dull after the
sharp contrasts of the tropics. There
was nothing in the neutral landscape
to excite the eye until the skyscrap
ers came into view. The passeng
ers did uot look like themselves this
morning, for they were all togged
out in their city clothes. The cele
brants of the night before were slow
ly coming to life, feeling sick and
depressed. Couples who would soon
be parted hung together at the rail,
watching the encroaching shore line
with dismay. One youth was fum-
blingly trying to say good-by to- a
girl whom he now adored. Soon he
would be meeting his bride of a year
and their baby, born a month ago.
His hand plucked nervously at his
companion’s coat. Their gances were
telling their story, but nobody .cared.
Angela was there—cool, composed, in
a black tailored costume and a small
black hat, with a fur around her
shoulders. Her face was drained of
color. As usual, she had dreamed
through the night of Jenny’s face and
her thin, pale hands clutching at the
water. It dawned on Macduff that
none of them knew about Joan, not
even Angela. He moved over to
wards her.
‘‘Good-morning, Angela.”
“Macduff, I’m glad to see you. I
was afraid y.ou were sleeping in. I
wanted you to -watch the skyline
with me. It’s thrilling.”
“I’m sorry to see it,” said
duff, gloomily.
“Not really?”
“Yes, really.”
They stood close together
watched the buildings swing
view—tall, grey spires,
through the morn'ing haze,
gigantic fresco flung against
sky.

was superb, and that lie could write

grew feebler. At last he banged it

“Yes. if you get what you want in

“I shall feel quite dull when I get

grasping for a little bit of happiness
near at hand. And in America the
great panacea is work, isn't it?”
“One simply has to' work in New
York or perish of boredom and dis
approval,” Macduff observed.
Angela's thoughts were centered
on Macduff, who was looking pro
foundly miserable. She hated to
leave him. Such a good friend, such
a good companion. Her black-glov
ed hand touched his sleeve.
“Macduff, I think we must

The gangplank was down,
walked across it in time to see John
ny embraced by his father, and to
hear him say; “Dad, this is Patty,
your future daughter-in-law.” He
saw Johnny’s father catch her hands
and Patty’s piquant face turned up
to him, sweet and eager.
“Goodbye, Mr, Macduff,” Johnny
shouted. “We’re going to send you an
invitation to the wedding.”
“Good-bye and good luck," Mac
duff responded cursing as he made
his way to the letter M in the cus
toms shed. Halfway down the wharf
he noticed Dick talking ardently to
a girl in powder blue. She was
handing him a card with an address
while she devoured him with her eyes
He remembered now that it had
been like this at every po-rt, always
a girl waiting for Dick—except at
Bombay, where he had devoted him
self so disastrously to Miss Mudge.
Angela would be across the docks
and on her other boat now, finding
her way to her new stateroom. He
felt like driving back to see her again
to tell her same of the things that
were welling up within him. Better’
not to see her again, better to see
her some time later in- England,

man he had ever known
clever enough to accept a
blow without showing her distress.
■He did not like being at home.
He had nowhere to sit, and even his
bookshelves seemed unfriendly. He
glanced over the titles and .came to
rest on one of his own books. That
made him think of his typewriter,
which -was still in its dusy corner
among his papers, safe from Susan
nah’s cleaning. She did not dare to
touch his papers. He opened it up
and started to type, but his fingers
were stiff from lack1 of practice.
There was nothing to write. His
mind was a blank. The bloody flat

went round in circles—the boat,

with 'his hands to ward off the spec
tres that haunted him now. Mac
duff was stung at last to suffering;
alive as lie had never been alive be
fore. This, then, was the way that
Angela had felt about Lovat, and
Jenny about Rumford, and Joan
about Dick. It was easier to under
stand now.
In desperation he went to the win

a sight that had often soother him
in years gone by. A long,

Life begins at Breakfast
“I save time by giving myself
thirty minutes .for eating breakfast,’
was the startling contribution of one
busy man of a discussion of pet time
savers.He went on to explain that
he had not always allowed himself
a leisurely breakfast. For years he
had been a coffee and fruit juice
snatcher. That was plenty of break
fast he argued; he never .felt hungry
until lunch time. The fact that he
was usually restless and often found
it impossible to concentrate on the
work at hand, he attributed to the
strain of modern living.
From time to time this man took
stock -of his habits. He occasionally
made a few resolutions—things were
going to be different in the future.

breakfast? There was an idea. He
liked tp eat breakfast when there

watch his waist-line, he supposed,
if 'he began eating a good old-fash

that his luncheon was a heavy meal
that could well be cut.
The something for breakfast pro

of his wife.

She kept several kinds on hand and
served them with different kinds of
fruit to give plenty of variety. Cer

and coffee made a substantial break

other meats, fish, waffles, hot cakes,
muffins or toast were some o.f the
surprise items which appeared one
at a time, but
