Godfrey offers to split the profits 75-25, the lion's sha"e to Ned. Cornet is engaged to Lenbre Hard- enworth, who offers to accompany Ned on the trip if he will take he. mother ;with them. Ned hires Bess Gilbert to go as seamstress, The party is bid God -speed by hosts of friends. Godfrey Cornet cones to the dock to bid Ned goocbye. He asks Miss Gil- bert to give his son a womai 's` care. w Mrs. Hardenworth objects to eating. at the same table with the seamstress. Bess makes up her mind t., avoid the three aristocrats as much as possible. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VL—(Cont'd,) "That's three for each table, co one of the men has to stay at the wheel.

During these clays they ware (To be eontirzued.) far out of sight of land, surrounded�� of their mood , no haunting uneasiness that could no be named or described, no whispering voices heard but dimly out of the sea. They could have remained in their removed, "Miss Gilbert will eat at the second table,." he explained. When the man had gore, Ned turned in appeal to Lenore. "She'll be here in a minute. What shall I tell her?" "Just what you told the servant— that she is to wait for the second table. Ned, you might as well make it clear in the beginning, otherwise it will be a problem all through the trip. Wait till she conies in, then tell her." Ned agreed, and they waited for the sound of Bess' step on the stair. Mrs. Ilardenworth's large lips were set in a hard line: Lenore had a curi- ous, eager expectancy. Quietly Julius served the soup, wondering at the ways of his superiors, the whites, and the long seconds grew into minutes. Still they did not see Bess' bright face at the door. "Send for her," Mrs. Hardenworth urged. There's no reason you shouldn't get this done and out of the way to- night, so we won't have to be dis- tressed about it again." limits of ordinary tourist travel. Tne big boats plied as far as Anchorage at the head of Cook Inlet—to the north and east of them now—but be- yond that point the traffic was largely that of occasional coastal traders, most of them auxiliary schooners o: varying respectability. They seemed to have the ocean almost to them- selves, never to see the tip of a sail on the horizon, or a fisherman's craft scudding into port. And the solitude• crept into the spirits of the passen- gers of the Charon. It became vaguely difficult to keep up a Holiday atmosphere. It was i in- creasingly hard to be gay, to down certain inner voices that had hitherto been stifled. Soule way, life didn't seem quite the same, quite the gay dream it had hitherto been. And yet this immeas'irable vista of deso- late waters—icy cold for all the sun- light that kissed the up -reaching lips of the waves—was some way like a dream, too. The brain kept clear enough, but it was all somewhat con - Wholly cowed, Ned called to the fusing to an inner brain, a secret self negro waiter. "Please tell Miss Gil- Lert to come here," he ordered. A wide grin cracking his cheeks, failing wholly to understand the real situation and assuming that "de boss" had relented in his purpose to exclude the seamstress from the first table, the colored man sped cheerfully away. Miss had already spoken kindly to hire; Julius' had deplored the order to remove her plate almost as a personal affront. Again they waited for the seam- stress to come. The women were grim, forbidding. '• And in a moment they heard steps at the threshold. But only Julies, his face beset with gloom, came through the opened door. "De lady say she 'strernely sorry," he pronounced, bowing, "But she say she's already promise d Mista McNab to eat with him!" CHAPTER VII, that they had scarcely been aware of before. It was hard to say evhich was the more real—the gay line they had left, the laughter of which was still an echo in their ears, or these far - stretching wastes of wintry waters. They couldn't help but be, thoughful. Realities went home to then that they had no desire to admit. A fervent be- lief in their own sophistication had' been their dominant poiiit of view, a disillusionment and a realism that was the tone of their generation, denying All they could not see or hear, holding themselves superciliously aloof from that gracious wonder and simplicity that still blesses little children; but here was something that was inscrut- ably beyond them. They couldn't laugh it away. They couldn't cast it off with. a phrase of cheap slang; demeaning it in order to held firm to their own philosophy of Self. Here was some- thing that shook their old attitude of self-love and self-sufficiency to its foundations. They thought they were bigger than life, that they had plastered it and found it out and strip - The Charon sped straight north, out of the Sound, through the inside pas- sage.

This sunlit sea was too big for them: too big and too mighty and too old. The trouble with Ned's generation was that it was a godless generation: the same evil that razed Babylon to the dust.

They had laughed to scorn the philosophies that a hun- dred generations of nobler men had built up with wondering reverence. Made arrogant by luxury and: ease, they knew of nothing too big for them,. no mystery that their contemptuous gaze could not penetrate, no wonder that their reckless hands could not unveil: They were drunk with their own glories, and the ultimate Source' of all things had no place in their. 'philosophies or their thoughts. It was. true that churches flourished among them, that Charity received her due; but the old virile faith, the reverent wonder, the mighty urge that has achieved all things that have been worth achieving were cold and dead in their hearts. But out here in this little, wind-blown craft, surrounded by an immensity of desolation beyond the power of their minds to grasp, it was hard to hold their old complacency.
