Keith shrugged his shoulders.
“Broadway is some two hours hack,
my lad, and you are going with us
OiT mo on I ”
Jenkins notified the captain. Keith
and Heed had to appear before that
august official and explain things.
Reed's passage was bought. A state
room next to the bridal suite was as
signed to him, and there was a lot
of cabling going on between- the
ship and Washington, D. C.
Keith handled the situation very
well. By this time he felt the offic
ers must be more or less fed up with
his party. “We’ve caused you so
much trouble, sir, I’m so sorry!”
Nobody could remain angry at Keith
for long. That is why life had al
ways been so easy for him. His
laughing blue eyes were so kindly,
so understanding. But the -captain
■was furious. He handed over a sheaf
-cf cables from shore to Keith.
“The newpapers. There is noth
ing I can do font answer* them. Thej
must have missed you, Mr. Hump-
rheys, just after the boat sailed.”
The captain shrugged his shoulders.
“And the young lady, she is all right
the head office informs me.”
■So Keith reported to Linda and
the stowaway. “Well, that’s some
thing, Reed. Jenkins can fit you
out with some of my things. They’re
going to be too big for you but at
least you’ll be comfortable in my
clothes!”
Three on Honeymoon
That first night out, just after
dinner, Keith disappeared. He was
gone almost an hour. When- he re-
tunj^fir foe found Linda, Reed and a
<-froup of new friends in the 'bar.
“I just called New York, I talk
ed to- Jimmie. The papers, of course,
plastered Iris all over the front page
and just as your mother was getting
over her' hysterics, came Reed!’
Keith grinned ruefully. “I’m sorry
honey!”
Linda laughed as she imagined
her mother’s fury.
“I talked to Reed’s father, too.

Keith snapped the watch cn his
wrist.
•Had Iris taken it just to worry
him? That seemed far-fetched.
But how, otherwise, did it get back
in his leather case?
“Thersea,” he called. “Did
see my watch 'by any chance?”
“Oh no, sir!”
Keith frowned. Puzzling over
matter, he went to the booth in
corridor, telephoned Jimmie again
and caught him at his -club just as
he was leaving.

“It is

it was Iris this time. And Linda
knowing, did not press the point.
Keith went back to join Linda,
but he could not find her anywhere.
Reed was still in the bar and had
not seen her. After a half hour’s
search, he found her up on the up
per deck, looking down on the sec
ond-class deck where a group ot
' people were sitting, singing and
laughing. Linda watched them wist
fully.
Linda tried to keep her thoughts
away from the telephone call. She
knew it was Iris. Tears came to her
eyes. But Keith could not help it
if Iris telephoned him!
“I’ve got to keep u stiff u-pper lip.
It isn’t Keith's fault!” she said
gallantly.
When Keith finally feund her, he
was annoyed. “I've been looking for
you for half an hour’ Come- on, the
crowd’s waiting for us and Reed
says he won’t take another driniki un
til you come.”
“Then I’d better stay here!” Lin
da’s voice was unnecessarily sharp,
“Don’t be cross, dear. But I was
worried about you,”
“You were busy telephoning!”
Linda could -have bitten her tongue
off, but the words would some.
’‘There was trouble -with the con
nection. I didn’t talk.
And Linda went because

taking a promenede around the

“You’ve been all over the ship,

“No, and I’d like to.”

salon, and through the bar to
decks. “And more friendly,”
Third-Class Musicale
Later they, went on through
the dining room. A group of young
people -were about the piano there.
A young -chap, perhaps an Austrian,
was attempting to play a. violin solo
to a halting accompaniment.
The pretty girl at the piano fin
ally let her hands fall on the keys
with a bang.
“I can’t play anything but jazz,”
she said standing up. A murmur of
disappointment went up from the
others.
The violinist put his instrument
on top of the piano. Impulsively
Linda stepped forward. “Let me try.
I think I can follow you,” she said,
with a sly smile.
The young French 'Officer sat on
the edge of a table, rolled a black
looking cigarette, and -watched.
Those about the piano took Linda’s
arrival casually.
“Can- you .read music?"
“Yes.”
“-Splendid!” The young man spake
English with precision which
ed plainly it was not his
tongue,
Linda looked at the music
ly.
It was -Shubert's “Ave Maria.”
When- they had finished there
were many “Bravos,” much applause
“Now, what?” Linda smiled up
with a (bright smile. The concert
went on for an hour, Karl iSchmidt,
as Linda learned was the violinist’s
name, sat down and wiped his fore
head.
“You are an excellent pianist.”
“Just a dilettante—(but your vio

“Thank you!” Again that little
foreign bow from the -waist.

Linda threw back her head, ‘Here
is somehing that will amuse you!”
Linda began Ravel's “Bolero."
Few musicians can give any idea of
the queer modern music on the
piano, but Linda had a genius for it,
She began with low powerful chords
sweeping on to the climax of the
overpowering music. The
"“wide-eyed audience grew as

The people crowded around Lin

noon, we’ll have a real concert,” the
young violinist pleaded.
Back in the palatial first class,
Linda found Keith and Reed search
ing for her. “We’ve peen exploring
the ship,” she laughed at them.
“'Come the captain is waiting for
us to come for cocktails. We must
dress first. Hurry! It should be a
swell party—and the chef has made

•Linda hurried and Thersea slipped
a golden frock over her head. There
were yellow orchids to wear with
the frock, and bracelets of topaz the

looked lovelied, and the excitement
of the impromptu concert -had left
faint color in her usually pale
cheeks.
Keith, standing in the doorway,
paused in admiration. “You are

so1, but you are!” He kissed her im
pulsively on her red lips and got a
smudge of rouge foil* his pains Linda

“Yes.”

“A promise!”
And Linda was happy. If only her
life was a little less blatant' But it
was not Keith’s fault, It was just.his
charm, his interest in everybody
and everything, Linda told herself.
[For the remaining days of the
voyage, Linda visited third class
every afternoon. She even dug up
some -of hei* music, practiced a little
in the morning when- Keith was
playing deck tennis -or having a<
Turkish- bath.
Young Schmidt was bowled over
by her -charm and talent. Everybody
was kind, incurious. If some of the
women hunted through the passen
ger lists to- find out Linda’s name,
it was to- foe expected.
“Miss ILinda” they
she liked it.
The last afternoon
Linda talked a long

“I’m not sure.”
“But why? You must have work

“Not seriously!” Linda said quick

enjoys it so much!’’
“Then it is time you were serious”
he declared. “Come, let me tell you.
I have a friend in Paris. He is a
very great musician. This is his

Karl wrote with a
Continental hand the

“You do not hear of

“And you have made me happy—-”

When Linda returned to the up

“What in the world do you do with

Of this amount, total liquid

8(3.27 per cent, of all liabilities to
the public. The unusually high per
centage of liquid assets .is likely due
to the lessened demand 'foiij current
accommodation and the necessity of
a greater amount in high-grade
government bonds. As a result, the
total holdings of government and
other bonds and debentures have in
creased to $442,781,0917, fr-om $361,-

these holdings -consists of gilt-edge

At the same time," increases are
reported in call loans both at home
