In reply to her half awaked cry of "All right!" the hoarse voice of a sailor told her that the Southern. Cross had: just risen above .the horizon. She resolutele. screwed her knuckles' into her eyes and began to dress. in a few minutes she was en deck. A tong coat, a tam- o'-shanter and 0 pair of list slippers will go far tu' the way of costume at night hu the tropics, and the Audrom- eda's seventeenth day at sea had brought the equator .very near.

'Then you must run up to the bridge. an' 'ell tell you all about it" If Iris was conscious of.a slight feel- ing of surprise she did not show it. Hitherto the burly skipper of tbe An- drotneda'had made it so clearly under- stood that none of the ship's compa'ny save•bimself was to enjoy the society of Miss Iris ,Yorke that she bad ex- changed very few words witb the one man whose manners and education ob- viously entitled him to meet her on an equal plane.

And what could be more conducive to complete understanding than the attack and deteuse or the. shrine of some tin god of literature? \-hile, thel•efoi'e, it was strange that Captain Coke should actually propose n visit to tbe bridge at an unttselal time -at a time, too, whey Hozier would be on duty -it struck her as far more curious that he should endeavor to prevent an earlier meeting.'

That Iris was a stowaway was forgotten. with the attention wi She was treated and ceremony due t0 tbe owner's niece.

Iris, spurred on by no stronger im. pulse than that of the sightseer, though not wholly unaware of an element of adventurous shyness in her expects-, tion of a tete-a-tete with a good look- ing young man of her own status, climbed to the bridge so speedily and noiselessly that Hozier did not know of her presence until' he heard her dis- mayed cry: "Is that the Southern Cross?"
