David ar _ um EDWARD NOYES WESTCOT'T TORONTO WILLIAM BRIGGS --1899 11111111t11111111111tllllltltllt1111ttilI111ptlir (Continued from last week.) Life had' always been made easy for John Lenox, and his was not the temperament to interpose obstacles to the process. A course .at Andover had been followed by two years at Rcinceton; but at the end of the sec- ond year it had occurred to him. that practical life ought to begin for him, and he had thought it rather fineof himself to undertake a clerkship in the office of Rush & Co., where in the ensuing year and a half or so, though he took his work in moderation, he got a fair knowledge of accounts and the ways and methods of "the _Street. But that period of it was enough. He found himself not only regretting the abandonment of his college career, but : feeling that the thing for which he had given it up had been rather a waste of time. He came to the con- clusion that, though he had entered college later than most, oven now a further acquaintance with text books and professors was more to be desired than with ledgers and brokers. His father (somewhat to his wonderment, and possibly a little to his chagrin) seemed rather to welcome the sugges- tion' that he spend a couple of years in Europe, taking some lectures at Heidelberg or elsewhere, and })travel- ing; travel-ing; and in the course of that time he acquired a pretty fair working ac- quaintance cquaintance with German, brought his knowledge of French up to about the same point, and came back at the end of two years -with a fine and discrim- inating taste in beer, and a scar over his left eyebrow which could be seen• if attention were called to it He started upon his return without any definite intentions or for any special reason, i except that he had gone away for two years and that the two years were up. He had carried on a desultory correspondence with his father, who had replied occasionally, [rather briefly, but _ on the whole af- fectionately. He had noticed that dur- ing the latter part of his stay, abroad the replies had been more than usually irregular, but had attributed no special significance to the fact. It was not until afterward that it occurred to him that in all their correspondence his father had never aluded in any - way to his return. . On the passenger list of the Alturia John came upon the names of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Carling and Miss Blake. • "Blake, Blake," he said to himself. "Carling—I seem to remember to have known that name at some time It must be 'little - Mary Blake whom I knew as a small girl years ago, and, yes, ,Carling was the name of the man her tater --trcar `led. Weil, well,• I wonder what she is like. Of course, I shouldn't know her from Eve now, or she me from Adam. All I can re- member seems to be a pair of very slim and active legs, % lot of flying hair, a pair of brownish -gray far grayish - brown eyes, and that I thought her a very' nice girl, as girls went. But it doesn't in the least follow that I might think so now, and shipboard is pretty close quarters for seven or eight days." Dinner is by all odds the chief event of the day on board ship to those who are able to dine, and they will leave all other attractions, even the surpas- singly interesting things which go on in the smoking -room, at once on the sound of the gong of promise On this first night of he voyage the ship was still in smoo water at dinner time, and many a place was occupied which would know its occupant for the first, and very possibly far the last, time. The passenger list was fairly large,' but not full. John had assigned to him a, seat at a side table. He was hungry,having had no Iunch- eon but a couple of biscuits and a glass of "bitter," and was taking his first mouthful of .Perrier--Jouet, after the soup, and scanning the dinner Gard when the people at his table came in. The man of the trio was obviously an invalid of the nervous variety, and the most decided type. The small, dark woman who took the corner seat at his left was undoubtedly, from the solicitous way in which she adjusted a small shawl about his shoulders— to his querulous uneasines—his wife. There was a good deal of white in the darkhair, brushed smoothly back from her face. A tall girl, with a mass of brown hair under a felt travelling hat, took the corner seat at the -man's right. That was all the detail. of her ap- pearance which. the brief glance That John allowed himself revealed to him at the moment, notwithstanding the justifiable curiosity which he had with regard to the people with whpin he was likely to come more or less in contact for a number of days. But though their faces, so far as he' had seen them, were unfamiliar to him, their identity was made plain to him by the first words which caught his' ear. There were two soups on the menu, and the man' d mind instantly poised itself between them. "Which soup shall I take ?" he asked turning with "a frown of un- certainty to his wife. "I should say the consomme, Julius" was the reply. "I thought I should like the broth better," he objected. "I don't think it will disagree with you," she Said. "Perhaps I had better have the Consomme," he argued, looking with appeal to his wife and then to the girl at his right. "Which would you take, Mary?" "I?" said the young woman; " I should take both in my present state. of appetite. — Steward, bring both soups.—What wine shall I order for you, Julius ? I want some champagne and I prescribe it for you. After your mental struggle over the soup ques- tion you need a quick stimulant." "Don't you think a red wine would be better for me ?"-he asked; "or per- haps some sauterne? I'n afraid that I sla'n't go to sleep if I drink sham pagne. In ° fact, I don't think I had better take any wine at all, Perhaps some ginger ale or Apollinaris water.'! "No," she said decisively; "what- ever you decide upon, you know that you'll think whatever,•I have better for you, and. I shall want more than one glass, and Alice wants some, too. Oh, yes, you do, and I shall order a quart of champagne.—Stewart"-giving her,, order "please be as quick as you can." John, had by this fully: identified his neighborhors, and the talk which ensued betweenthem consisting most- ly of controversies between the invalid and his family over the items of the bill of fare, every course being dis- cussed as to its probable effect upon( his stomach or his nerves—the ques- tion being usually settled with a whim- sical high-handedness by the young' woman—gave him. a pretty good no- tion of their relations and the state of affairs in general. Notwithstand- ing Miss Blake's benevolent despotism the invalid was ' still wrangling feebly over some last dish when John rose and went to the smoking _room for his s coffee and cigarette: When he stumbled- out, in search of. his bath the next morning' the steamer was well out, and rolling and pitching in a . way calculated to disturb the gastric functions, of the hardiest. But, after a shower of sea water and a rub down, he found himself with a feeling for bacon and eggs that made him proud of himself, 'and he went in to breakfast to . finds rather to his stir - prise, that Miss Blake was before him, looking as fresh—well, as fresh as a handsome girl of nineteen or twenty. and in 'perfect health could look.

"Yes," he said, "I did hear it. Is it the regular thing, if I may ash?"` "Oh, yes," she replied, with a tone of sadness; "it has grown to be." "It must be very trying at times," John remarked. "It is indeed " she said "and would often be unendurable to me if it were saw your name in the passenger list not for my sense of humor, as it. with Mr. and Mrs. Carling, and wand- ( would be to my sister if it were not ered if it could 'be"the Mary Blake for her love, for Julius is really a whom I really did remember, and the 1 very lovable Man, and I, too, am very fond of him.

I knew you instantly when I saw you ate table the first night; but," she added mischievously, "I am afraid your mem- ory .for people you have known is not so good as mine."

The weather continued very stormy for two days, and during that time Miss Blake aid not appear at table. At any rate, if she breakfasted there it was either before or after his ap pearance, and he learned afterward that she had taken luncheon and din- ner in her sister's room.

This air and sun would brace him up," said John. She turned to him with a laugh, and said: "That is the general opinion, or was two hours ago; but I'm afraid it's out of the question now; unless we can manage it after luncheon." "What do you mean?" he asked with a puzzled smile at the mixture of an- noyance and amusement visible in her face. "Same old story?" "Yes" she replied, "same old story, When I went toy breakfast I called at my sister's room and said, ` `Come, boys and girls, come out to play, the sun doth shine as bright as day," and when I've had my. breakfast I'ni com- _ ing to lug you both on deck.

You, call for us in I half an hour, and we will be ready.' " "And wouldn't he come?" John ask- ed; sked; "and why not?" "Oh," she exclaimed with a laugh and a shrug of her shoulders, "shoes." "Shoes!" said John. "What do you mean ?" _ "Just what I say," was the rejoin- - der.
