his next trip, POPPY must he left bo'

her sen uity, of having the right to
provide for her, ot knowing that she
was waiting to welcome grim home
again,
Tt was different now, He would
wake lin the night, holding ell the
wonder of her On the circle of hie
arms; feeling her heart boating
close to his own, and the thought of
being torn from her seemed • mon-
strous, unnatural, It was. like tear-
ing the heart from his body.
Yet go he must. It was his life,
the sea. There were times, even in
this longed for, dearly -loved home,
wljith Poppy's cheek presed to tiffs,
when what had called !frim from his I

But he would have his nraster's1

At times he was troubled by the
unfitness of the mate he had chosen
for the sea life. No more reckless
adventure, such as Ile had welcomed
wd4ih glee. He must look for the sort
of bentli that would mean comfort
for the girl he took with him,
dire would talk to Poppy, In those
firelit evenings pkat had so swiftly
followed the blue and golden days of
their wooing. He would tell her of
coral reefs and fairy islands in the
Bade, of icebergs' in the Northern
seas, and she would listen like a
child hearing fairy tales, Ile would
tell her of the harbours where his
spins had lain anchor; of the Golden
Horn. and the Cape of Good. Hope; ot
Alexandria and Poit Said. He talk.
eel of Montrlh girls and temple bells;
of snake charmers and juggler's to
Eastern markets, but lie never told
her anything of cruelty or evil, She
saw all in her fancy as the produce:•
of a musical comedy might have
presented it.
But 4ie balked most of the sea and
the life he loved, and even with her
in his arms he was longing to Leel
the salt kiss of her arrival on hit
lips again; to bear the ship's bells
and feel the deck beneath hie feet. ,
She was calling to him, tugging at 4
his heartstrings the siren whose
voice had lured him all his life s
Horne was dear and love was sweet,
yet he was stirred with the restless
longing to be off again,
He had enyious consultations with
Mrs. Benstead and her niece, and f
with Barbs, concerning Poppy's wel 1
Sore while he was anvay. He engaged
a girl from the village to come as
general servant, for ,his treasure r
must not be - left unguarded while ne r
was absent. w
Too swiftly the days fled—days of
inclement weather that kept Poppy
indoors. Jan, could not hear to r
leave her, but he was like a wild t,h
thing lin captivity, when four walls
shut him in for long.
He had to be down on the ship
part of the time, during the end of si
,tempt to snake 1t attractive, and he
was touched' and delighted when
Pow brought some stuff anal made
cantatas for the porthole, and a
coven to have her doing that for hint.
She was a creature of moodt'-
s, as „°
dreaded'• clay came near—wildly gay
and teasing, Hien sunlit in dejection
and teals.
Jan actually snoring more than
'sire, did his best to comfort her.
"The trine will soon slip by sweet.heart, and then we shall have each
other to think of, and I'll write all
the while."
He would not let her come to the
docks- to see him off. He feared tete
emotional strain for her, and did not
want that !parting scene with others
near,
But he .had arranged for the mold
to :conic in, and Baba, more 'at
dome than in the summer months,
would be' up 4n the evening, and
Laying all night.
Poppy cried' unrestrainedly. She
thought life very cruel, as she clung
o him, making his, own trial harder.
Loosing her arms he -whispered a
env brave words, kissed her for the
ast 'time, and then was running
own the golden path in the . rain
znd dashing into the taxi that was
arming down the gardtn path in the
ain, and dashing into t?i &taxi that
as taking him to the docks.
He looked out of 'the cab window
at tht little house that was his
earthly pardisa
e, and he saw Popp?
un out and down to the gate
rough the pelting rain, trying to
vebe a drenched handkerchief.
Forcieig himself to laugh, he called
