But let’s move on. It was one of the red-letter days in Miss Mudge’s life. When were back on the Marenia, she look ed up Mr. Charlton- feeling that her pleasure was something she must share with him. “I wonder if I shall be able to set tle down when I get home,” she was saying. “I’ve always thought it better to feel planted in one spot.” “I shouldn’t suspect that from knowing you, Miss Mudge.” His voice was teasing, -but it pass ed over her like a caressing wind. “Why not ” “I -can’t believe you’d bang the door shut on adventure.

Though he hated tears, he was moved 'by the desperate note of hysteria in her voice. She shuddered and -clung to him. He was shocked by the fervor of her embrace. “I’m so ashamed!” she murmur ed in his ear. “Ah, don’t say that. It’s stupid for a woman to be ashamed of her feel ings.

She had called him Mr. Charlton, even when he had kissed her! Dick wiped the sweat from his brow. Never again! He regret ted everything that had happened, everything from the very beginning. This had ibeen different from all his ■other experiences; it left him with a self disgust. He was strangely touched, thinking -of Miss Mudge’s lonely pillow. The Marenia was steaming across the Pacific with her homeward bound pennnan-t flying from the mast. Cap tain Baring was having a cocktail party in his quarters. Miss Mudge was talking to Dick Charlton. Her sparrow face was aglow, and she was drawing on a •cigarette in the ridiculous, inade quate way she bad. The chief of ficer seemed to be rather embarrass ment for once in his life. The Foster girl, who had been drinking cock tail after cocktail with her attention fastened upon him, was reeling over m their direction- now. Her expres sion was glassy and determined.

Everyone tried not to look at Mudge. At first her cheeks burned. Now they were ghastly pale, except for the dots of rouge, high up like a wax model. Once she had raised her hand to protest. Then it had fallen limply. What was the use? Captain Baring stood as if he were carved in rock. He regard ed a drunken woman- as the final debasement of human nature. Hell of a mess for Charlton to get into! His favorite officer, and he wasn’t a fool with women either. He’d have to haul him over the coals, though it probably wasn’t his fault at all. Dick had been cold to more attrac tive women than- Miss Mudge. The captain knew all about him. But a scene like this—before passengers! It wouldn't do. The chief ofifeer had turned his back and was hastily swallowing a drink. Angela and Macduff stood in appalled silence. No one knew what tack to 'ake, but Miss Mudge herself took hold of the situation. Ignoring them all, she put her arm around Joan's and said in a “Come on you down with me.

The two latter, who were masons by trade, in 184 9 resolved to take up land, consulted the land office in Goderich, and looked up lots in McGillivray Town ship from the map. They struck out by way of Brewster’s mill, without a guide save for their way they Indian camp and a canoe to cross rounding swamp and fording creeks for two days, they found themselves near the lots they were looking for. The distance traveled, 40 miles, was quite a feat for two unaccus tomed to bush travel. When Mr. Erskine was a fellow workman with tAlexandei' Mackenzie before coming to McGillivray he (A. Mackenzie) in 1844, had a narrow escape from being killed.
