Iris had been called from dreamless sleep by a thuudeeing rat - tat on her cabin door. In reply to tier half awaked cry of "All right!" the bourse voice of a sailor told her that the Southern, Cross ,had just risen above the horizon. She resolutely screwed her knuckles into her eyes and began to dress. In u few minutes she was on deek. A tong coat, a tam- o'-shanter and a !fair of list slippers will go far lo tae way of costume at night in the tropics. and the Androln- edu's ,seventeent.a day at 'sea had. brought the equator very near. At dinner on the previous evening -m honor of the owners niece fashionable hours were observed for meats -51x. Watts mentioned by chance Chet the cross bad been very distinct during' the middle which, or, in other words, between ruyluient and 4 a. m. tele at once expressed a wish' to see it, and Captaiu Coke olfered a suggestion. "Mr. Hozier takes the middle watch tonight,"'said ue. "We can ax 'im tc send it man to pound on your door as soon as it rises. 'alien you must run up to the bridge. an' 'e'll tell you all about it" if Iris was conscious of a slight feel- ing or surprise she did not show it. Hitherto the burly skipper of tbe An- dromeda had made it so clearly under- stood that none of the ship's company save himself was to enjoy the society of Miss Iris Yorke that she bad ex- changed very few words with the oti0 man whose manners and education ob- viously entitled bim to meet tier on an equal plane. Eveu at mettle ne was often absent. So Coke's complacency came now quite ant ;llectedic, nut Iris was learning to st•unoi her tongue. -Thank you ve o ruueu," she said Chea shalt I see him?' "05, you needn't bother. I'll tell 'im meself."

"I shall be delighted to, come at any time. I have often read about the Southern Cross, yet three sheet weeks ago l little thought" - "You reely didn't think about It at all." broke In'Coke. "If you 'ad you'd 'ace known you couldn't cross theline without seein' tr." Here was another perplexing ele- ment in the 'shipper's conduct. That Iris was a stowaway was forgotten. She was treated with tbe attention and ceremony clue to the owner's niece. Coke never lost an opportunity of dinning into the ears of Watts or Hozier or the steward or any mem- bers or the crow who were listening that Miss Vorke's presence in their midst was 0 preordained circumstance. a thing fully d'isc'ussed tutu agreed on as between bar uncle and hinselt, but carried out In an irregular manner owing to some oil iish I'reuit on her part.

"It is a beautiful night," "1 am glad of the accident that brought me on deck somewhat earlier than was necessary," she said. "You and L have not said much to each oth- er since you routed me out of the lazaretto, Mr. Hozier." "Our friends at table are somewhat- ditiicult. If only you knew bow I're- gretted"- "Oh, what of that? When I became a stowaway I fully expected to be treated as one. ',suppose, though, that you have often asked yourself why I was guilty Of sad) a mad trick." "Not exactly mad, Miss Yorke, but needless, since Captain Coke partly ex- pected to have your company." "That is absurd. He had not the remotest notion" - "Forgive me, but there you are wrong. He says that your uncle and he 'discussed the matter on the Sun- day before we left Liverpool. His the- ory is rather borne out by the present state of the ship's .larder. I assure you that few tramp steamers spread a table like the Andromeda`s mess dur- ing this voyage." Iris laughed with a spontaneous mer i'iment that was rather astonishing in her own: ears, 'Being the owner's niece, I am web catered for?" she cried. "Something of the sort. I.t is only natural." "But 1 think I have read in the newspapers tbat when some unhappy creature 1s condemned to death by the law he is supplied with luxuries that would certainly be denied' 10 any ordl• nary criminal?"

Coke's counter stroke in alluding to her ,dread of the proposed` marriage was hidden from her ken. Heeler, of course, was thinking of nothing else. For the moment, then, they were at cross purposes. "Things are not so bad as that," be said gently,. "I hope' 1 am not tres- passing on forbidden ground, but it is only fair to tell you that the skipper was quite explicit up to a ,:point..

She caught his arm with an appealing hand, "1 am afraid that thy presence will offer no hindrance to histheme," she murmured. "1 am terrified to say such a tiling, but I am certain. quite cer- tain, that tbe ship will be lost within the next few days." Hozier, though incredulous, could not but realize that the girl was saying that which she honestly thougbt to be true. "Lost! Do you mean that she will be purposely thrown away?" he asked. and his own voice was not wholly un- der control. for he was called on to repress a sudden temptation to kiss away the tears that glistened in her brown eyes.

The dtly in wlskh He was taken up carries us' back to the taring up of Enoch and Elijah and on- ward to the taking up of all true be- lievers at His coming to the earth for Rio people (1 Thess. iv, 10.111).
