They went aboard the schooner again, and the mate, remaining on deck, listened anxiously for the re- turn of the redoubtable Mrs. Tipping, ! occasionally glancing over the side in 1 expectation of being boarded from the !neighboring 'stairs; but with the ex- t ception of a false alarm caused by two maddened seamen unable to obtain ad- mittance and preferring insulting charges of somnolency against the { watchman, the time passed quietly un- til high water.

"We don't want anything to say to you," affirmed her daughter. "Will — yo— get — out — of --- my house?" demanded the owner, wildly. "When we've seen Capt'n Flower," said Mrs. Tipping, calmly, "and not a moment before. We don't mind your getting in a temper, not a bib. You can't frighten us." The frenzied and reckless reply of the red -whisker man was drowned in the violent slamming of the street door, and he found himself alone with the ladies. There was a yell of triumph outside, and the sounds of a hurried scramble down the steps. Mrs. Tipping, fumbling wildly at the catch of the door, opened it just in time to see the cabman, in reply to the urgent entreaties of the mate, frantically lashing his horse up the road. "So far, so good," murmured the mate, as he glanced over his shoulder at the little group posing on the steps. "I've done the best I could, but I sup- pose there'll be a row." The watchman, with the remainder of the crew, in various attitudes of expectant curiosity, were waiting to receive them at the wharf. A curios- ity which increased in intensity as the mate., slamming the gate, put the big bar across and turned to the watch- man. "Don't open that to anybody till we're off," he said, sharply.

"1 'ope the foot is goin' on well, sir," said Tim, breaking in upon his meditations, respectfully. - "Much easier this morning," said the skipper,' amiably. Tim, who was lending the cook a hand, went back into the galley ' to ponder., As a result of a heated de- bate in the fo'c's'le, where the last night's proceedings and the myster- ious appearance of the skipper off Greenwich had caused a great sensa- tion, they had drawn lots to • decide who was to bell the cat, and Tim, had won or lost according as the subject might be viewed. "You don't want to walk about on it much, sir," he said, thrusting his head out again. The skipper nodded. "I was alarmed last night," said Tim. "We was all alarmed," he add- ed, hastily, in order that the others CHAPTER VII. He brought up off Greenwich in the cold grey of the breaking day. Craft of all shapes and sizes were passing up and down, but he looked in vain for "What did they ask yo ?" demanded the skipper. "They asked me what Cap'n Flower was like an' where 'e lived," said Tim, "an' they asked me whether I knew a Mr. Robinson." Cptain Flower, his eyes blazing, waited. - "I said I 'adn't got the pleasure el Mr. Robinson's acquaintance," said Tim, with a grand air. "I was just goin' to tell 'em about you. when Joe 'ere gave me a pinch." "Well?" inquired the skipper, stamping with impatience. "I pinched 'im back agin," said Tim, smiling tenderly at the reminiscence, "Tim's a fool, sir," said Joe, sudden- ly, as the overwought skipper made a move towards the galley. "'E didn't seem to know wot 'e was a-sayin' of, so I up and told 'em all about you." "You did, did you? Damn you," said Flower, bitterly. "In answer bo their questions, sir," said Joe, "I told 'em you was a bald- headed chap, marked with the small- pox, and I said when you was at 'one, which was seldom, you lived at Aber- deen." The skipper stepped towards him and laid his hand affectionately on his shoulder. "You ought to have been an admiral, Joe," he said, grate- fully, without intending any slur .on a noble profession. "I also told George, the watchman, to tell 'em the same thing, if they came round again worrying,". said Joe, ,proudly. The skipper patted him on the shoul- der again. "One o' these days, Joe," he remark- ed, "you shall know all about this lit- tle affair; for the present it's enough to tell you that a certain unfortunate young female has taken a fancy to a friend of mine named Robinson, but it's very important, for Robinson's sake, that she shouldn't see me or get to know anything about rue. Do you understand?" "Perfectly," said Joe, sagely.

Lord Joicey Pays Out $7,500,000 in Wages Yearly. No fanciful heraldic design adorns the coat of arms of Lord Joicey. The foremost items on his escutcheon are a couple of honest pick -axes and two pit ponies. It was typical of Lord Joicey, the world's richest coal -owner, that when he was raised to the peer- age in 1905 he should have chosen this design for a crest, for he is proud of the fact that his immense fortune rests on the pit pony and the pick -axe which his father used to wield in the depths of the mine. Born in the atmosphere of collieries and brickworks at Tanfield, in Dur- ham, Lord Joicey as a boy grew up in the "black environment." His fa- ther, who at one time worked in a Tyneside colliery, was a man of seri- ous thought, foresight, and shrewd common sense. He saw the future of the engineering side of mining, and earned a reputation as a clever engin- eer, Ultimately his son went to Newcastle to work for a wealthy uncle. Thrifty and energetic, young Joicey saved every penny he could while learning all he could; and although for a time he was only earning the modest wage of £2 a week, he was able to save enough to invest in some mining enterprises. With the money he inherited from his uncle Lord Joisey judiciously ne- gotiated various deals. Some idea of the extent of his resources may be gathered when it is mentioned that some years ago Ms firm took a lease of Lord Durham's pits for £1,100,000, the capital expenditune being paid out of the profits within two years. A further illustration of Lord Joi- cey''s vast interests is contained in the remark which he made in a speech when he was presented with a por- trait of himself in 1913 at the New- castle Chamber of Commerce to cele- brate lafifty years of commercial life. "Business life," he said on that oc- casion,'"is a good life, and to preside over a -concern which spends 11,500,- 000 1,500;000 a year in wages and supports thousands. of families is a thing to be proud of." ....:.bid `"- :Clie Reason.
