"Of course :the other member of

"She's right there, talking to her
mother."
Cornet walked courteously to the
girl's side and extended his hand.

"I haven't had many opportunities
for ocean travel." she told him—and
whether or not she was laughing at
him Ned Cornet couldn't have sworn!
Her tone was certainly suspiciously
merry. "Mr. Cornet, I'll be glad
enough to accompany your party, any
kiine you say."

ring of satellites that gyrated amend

Everyone was very happy, and no

"Pll remember all you told me,"
Bess told Min 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 friends. 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.
`Good • luck to you, and a p Basan
journey," he said, smiling ' down on
her. `=And, Miss Gilbert, I wonder if

ask—"
waters seemed to promise only happi-
ness for them.
They had dressed according to their
idea of the occasio:i. Lenore wore a
beautifully tailored middy s,•it that
was highly appropriate for summer
seas, but was nothing like the garb
that Eskimo women wear in the fall
journeys in the Ooreiacs. Mrs. Hard-
enworth had a smart tailored suit 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. Ifnutsen, of course, supposed
that their really heavy clothes, great
mackinaws and slickers with leather
lined woolens, such as are sometimes
needed on Bering Sea, were in the
trunks lie had helped to stow below.
In this regard the blond seaman,
helmsman and owner of the craft,.
had made a slight mistake. In a
desire for a wealth of silver fox to
wear :lore, both trunks had been filled
with discarded gowns to the exclusion
of almost everything Else.
Ned, in a 'smart yachting costume,
had done rather better by himself. He
had talked with Colurn 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 cone down to the dock
to bid her good-bye, and they seemed
to be having a very happy little time
among themselves.
The captain was alnost ready to
start the launch. McNab, the chief
engineer, was testing his engines;
Forest, his assistant, stood. on the
deck; and the negro cook stood grin-
ning at the window of the galley.
But presently there was an abrupt
cessation of the abbb:e of voices in the
group surrounding Ned.
A tall pian was pushing though
the crowd, politely asking right of
way, his black eyes peering under sil-
ver brows. For some inexplicable rea-
son the soup i of Frolic died before
his penetrating gaze.
But the groups caught themselves
at once. They oust not show fear
of this stalwart, aged pian with his
prophet's eyes. They spoke to hint,
wishing hien, good day, and he return-
ed their bows with faultless courtesy.
CHAPTER VI.
Mrs. Hardenworth had made it a
point to go immediately to her state-
room, but at once she reappeared on

are in the crew?"
"Just McNab, Forest, and the cook.

"Ned, dear, I wonder if that fellow
made a mistake when he pointed out
my stateroom," she began rather
stiffly. "I want to be sure I've got
the right one that you meant for
me-"
• "It's the one to the right," Ned
answered, somewhat unhappily. He,
followed her along the deck, indicat-
ing ,the room she and her daughter
were to occupy. • "Did you think he
was slipping something over on you,
taking a better one himself?"
"I didn't know. You can't ever tell
about such men, Ned; you know that
very well. Of course, if it is the one
you inteucled for me, I'm only too de-
lighted with it—"
"It's really the best on the ship.

is limited. I'm sorry it's so small and
dark, and I suppose you've already
missed the running water. I do hope
it won't be too uncomfortable. O:f
course, you can have the one on the
other side, but it's really inferior to
this—"
"That's the only other one? Ned,.
I want you to have the best one—"
"I'm sorry to say I'm not going
to have any, Miss Gilbert has to have
the other. But there's a corking berth
in the pilot house, I'm going to oc-

"I'd neve. let Miss. Gilbert have its"
The woman's eyes flashed. "I wouldn'tr
