Every one was very happy, and no
one seemed to take the expedition:
seriously. The idea of Ned Cornet,
he of the curly brown hair, in the role
of for trader in the frozen wastes of
the North appealed to his friends as
being irresistibly comic. •

He gave his hand, then turned to
extend Pod wishes to Mrs. Harden -
worth aitd`Lenore,. He seemed to have
a queer, 'hesitant manner when he
addressed the latter, as'if he had plan-
ned to give some further, more per-
sonal message, but now•was reconsid-
ering it. Then the little group about
him suddenly saw his face grow vivid.
"Where's Miss Gilbert--?"
The group looked from one to an-
other. As always; they were paying
the keenest attention to his every
word; but they could not 'remember
hearing this name before. "Miss Gil-
bert?" his son echoed blankly: "Oh,
you mean the seamstress—."
"Of course -the othen member of
your party.':
"She's right there, talkingto her
rnother."
Cornet walked courteously to the
girl's side and extended his hand.
"Good luck to you, and a pleasant
jonuney," he said, smiling down or -
her. "And, Miss Gilbert, I Wender if
I could give you a eharge—"
"I'll do my best—anything you
ask-„
"1 want'you to look after. my son,
Ned. Hes never been away from the
comforts of civilization before—and if
a button came off, he'd never know
how to put it on. Don't ,let him come
to grief, Miss Gilbert, I'm wholly
serious—I know what the North is.
Don't let him take too great a risls.
Watch out for ^his health. There's
s
nothing in this world like a woman's
care."
"I'll remember all .you told. me,"
Bess told him simply. ,
"Thank you—and a pleasant voy-,
age."
Even now the adventurers were get-
ting aboard. Mrs. Hardenworth was
handing her bag to Knutsen—she. had
mistaken him for a cabin boy—with
instructions to carry it carefully and
put it in her stateroom; Lenore was
bidding a joyous farewell to some of
her more intimate Wends. The engine
roared, the water churned beneath the
propeller, the pilot called some order
in a strident voice, The boat moved'
easily from the dock.
CHAPTER VI.
Mrs. Hardenworth had made it a
point to go immediately to her state-
room, but at once she reappeared on
deck. She seemed a trifle niece erect,
They had dressed' according to their
idea of the occasion. Lenore, wore -a
beautifully tailored middy salt that
was highly appropriate for stammer
seas, but was nothing like the garb
that Eskimo women wear in. the fall
journeys in the Oomiacs. Mrs. Hard-
enworth had a smart tailored snit of
small black and white check, a small
hat and a beautiful gray veil. Both
of them carried winter coats, and both
were fitted out with binoculars, cam-
eras, and suchlike oceanic parapher-
nalia. Iinutsen, of course, supposed
that their realty heavy clothes, great
mackinaws and slickers with leather -
lined woolens, such as are sometimes
needed on Bering Sea, were in the
trunks he had helped to stow below.
In this regard the blond seaman,
helmsman and bwner of the- craft,
had made a slight mistake. In a
desire for a wealth of silver fox to
wear hone, both trunks had been Oiled
with discarded gowns to the exclusion
of almost everything else.
Ned, in a smart yachting costume,
bad done rather better by himself.'He
had talked with Coburn in regard to
the outfit, and his duffle bag contained
most of the essentials for such a jour-
ney. And Bess' big, plain bag was
packed full of the warmest clothes she
possessed.
Bess did not stand among the happy
circle of Ned's friends. Her mother
and sister had come down to the dock
to bid her good-bye, and they seemed
to be having a very happy little time
among themselves.
The ,gaptain was almost ready to
stent the launch. MeNab, the chief
engineer, was testing his engines;
Forest, his assistant, stood on the
deck; and the negro cook atood•grIn-
ning at the window of the galley.'
Bttt presently -„there was an abrupt
cessation of the abbb:e of voices in the
group surrounding Ned.
A tall man was pushing through
the crowd, politely asking right of
way, his black eyes peering tinder sil-
ver brows. For some inexplicable rea-
son the sound: of frolic died before
his penetrating gaze.
But the groups caught themselves
at once. They„ must not show fear
of this stalwart, aged man with his
prophet's eyes. They spoke to him,
wishing hint good day, and he return-
ed their bows with faultless courtesy.

of his two- guests. just as much ati
possible. She saw et once '.hey were
not her kind of people; and only un-

intercourse with them.
And her decision to avoid the three
aristocrats stood her in good stead
before the night was •done, saving
her as bitter a moment as any that
had oppressed her in all the steep
path of her life. Just after the din-
ner eall had sounded, Lenore, Ned,
and Mrs. Hardenworth had had a mo-
mentous conference in the little din-
ing saloon.
"I see the table's set for four," Mrs.
Hardenworth began, "Who's the other
place for—Captain Knutsen?"_
"I'm afraid the captain has to mind
his wheel. This isn't an oceanic liner.
I suppose the.' place is set for Miss
Gilbert."

are in the crew?"
