It was some very thin and wiry, but without a sus- picion, of wealmess. His muscles were power-fhlly developed, and his color, though rather dark, was healthy, while his eyes, very deep and shrewd, were of a rather startling blue color, as when the sea reflects a summer sky. He had come aboard early, as was his wont, for, being an accomplished traveller, he left nothing to chance. He had already placed his small be- longings in the stateroom, "learned the name of his room -mate, and was now simply watching the animated scene going on around him. He was naturally more interested. in the arrival of the second-class pas- eengers,: because he was aware that the gulf between the saloon and the. second-class is practically unbridge- able, and that he would have to find such companionship as he desired on the voyage in his own class. Presently his keen eyes were arrest- ed by three figures—a tan, handsome, fair man, accompanied by an equally line -looking 'woman, and a smaller, less arresting figure, coming over the gangway together. "Now if by chance that should hap- pen to be the Johnnie," he said to him- Pass im • Pass it`oua .¢l afiei'" everyr meal: Give the family; the benefit of its aid. to edit r sticn: 'Cleans teeth too "t l(eep it always' lin• the: hot*sei . n$1• Costs little; -helps macEys " l i3t,it NO. 19—'26. U time before he located the trio that had interested him, and then he dis- covered that they had separated, and that only two were left. Quite evi- dently from their looks, they were bidding one another a poignant fare- well. Affery decently turned away, ior, interested beyond the common in his kind, he was free from the vulgar curiosity which respects no sanctuary. Affery's last memory of England was the faces of these two women where they stood, side by side, cling- ing together on the sunlit landing -- stage, hying to lift brave faces to the giddy height ofthe liner's deck, so that the voyager' they= loved should go, well -hearted, on his way. But their faces were wan and dreary, and tears were raining down. the smaller one's cheeks. On her companion's face, however, the ex- pression seemed to indicate a grief too deep for tears. Affery did not snake haste to his stateroom, guessing that the tall stranger would probably be in posses- sion fighting the first stiff stage of the exile's way. Timed to sail at four o'clock, they were not actually under way until five. About half -past six, when they were across the bar, Affery ventured down to make some little "change in his toilet. He found his room -mate in the last stages of his, tying a neat black bow above his dress -shirt. He sightly uplifted his brows, for even- ing dress is not common in the second saloon, and Affery himself had no intention of changing: But the inci- dent deepened the impression that Rankine was travelling out of his class. "Evening," said Affery briefly. "No hurry. 1.don't change on this bloornin' boat They don't as a° rule, outside the first-class saloon." "Don't they?" asked Rankine, and, turning his head, he looked 'his com- panion full in the face. Liking what he saw there, he , smiled.' "I don't suppose 'they'll osti"acute me, will they, for getting.into a clean shirt?". r: "Oh, no; only they might christen you the Duke,, or the Toff! I've knmvn them tack it on to a man for less.

Once more disarmed by the straight glance of thoee wonderful eyes, he simply ans. wered yes, and added that, in 'the; meantime, he would make hir-self. scarce.• They did not meet again till lifter dinner, for Rankine had made no ar- rangement concerning his sea, at `table, and found the breadth of the dining -saloon between him and ,,his room -mate. - But, quite naturally, they drifted together on deck and began to stroll round, feeling more and more drawn: to titre another. "I suppose you've been often, across the Atlantic?" said Rankine, fully conscious of a desire to know more of the man towards whom he felt so oddly drawn. "This is my thirteenth time, Per- haps it may bring:' me a bit of luck. I hiven'thad much up to date." "A queer thing 'is luck," said Ran- kine, musingly, as he made pause -to strike a match. "It has no truck with some folks apparently. I've seen whole families blighted. through lack of it, while others, no more deserving, flourish -like the green bay tree!" • "That's so," assented Affery, and this time there was such an 'unmistak- ably American twang in his accent that Rankine hastily decided he must be an out-and-out Yankee. "I'm with you there; and sometimes it does seem as if it wasn't worth while fighting against. it. Drifting .with the tide is a darned' sight easier." "There isn't much drift about you, I could bet my bottom dollar," ob- served Rankine, with a sharp side - glance at the keen, virile profile. Affery laughed. "I can hop round a bit when neces- sary. The trouble is, all the hopping doesn't amount sometimes to 'a hill of beans. What are you going to Am- erica for, may I ask? You needn't. answer unless you like, you know. I've been nine years out. you enough to contract the universal national habit of inquiring into another man's business, though, at the sane time, keeping a pretty tight and even finger on one's own." "Does that suns then up?" asked Rankine; with a grin of pure rvamuse- ment, hugely enjoying his compan- ion's caustic remarks. "I don't mind telling you that I':ni out after any- thing that T. can get in the States, or anywhere I can lay my bands on 3t." Affery, in the throes of his unmiti- gated . surprise, stood still on the deck. "Youl" he exclaimed. .."I find it 'difficult to take that in. "Why?" " the you .seem to embody great B.P. at its -teeniest height. You look as if you've arrived long since, and could afford to watch the strug- gles of the non -arrivals with a kind of complacent pity. You look as if you had centuries of all that is best in English life behind you." • "Scotch," put in Rankine quickly. "There's a difference—don't you for- get it!,: "I've seen the difference," said Af- fery with a smile. "From end to end. of the American Continent, especially in its northern reaches, it is punctuat- ed wth your people. In fact, certain parts of British North America are simply Scotland." "Is it so bad as that?" asked Ran- kine. "Then I wonder whether there. would be-raoin for yet another Scots- man?,, "Sure thing. What's your line?" "Faith, now you've got me! I havent a line. I am, frapkry speak- ing;' in need of a job..elf you've been thirteen times across the Atlantic, it stands to reason, you roust know a little about both sides of it." "I know a 'few things. But can't you. do anything? Are you a profes- sional man, or a business man, or soldier?" ,, "None of •them, unfortunately, though I ought to have been the last."

The words might very easily have been ofeneive, but Rankine knew that no offence lurked behind those clear blue eyes. "Do they often make good?" he asked, half diffidently, half eagerly. Affery seemed to hesitate. "Well, to be quite frank—not as often.<as they might, con idering what chanties they've had. There's some- thing wrong with the system in Eng- land.
