(Dopyrighted by Iloux'it >0, & Oo., pubiiabed by nrni:> tf.'ivut and CHAPTER U. The day following “btuauu-r night” was nin.itly rtalo and flat at Sau Francisco. The m:t tln;i from the feverish exaltation »f the prevtous twenty-four hours was seen in the listless faces and lounging feet of prouieitiMlers. and was notable in the descried ofUccs and warehouses still redo lent of hist night’s gas, and strewn with tho d<vul ashes of Inst night’s fires. Tliere was 1 brief 1 mi use before the busy life whicli ran Its course from “steamer day” to sten.tier day was once more taken up. In that interval a few anxious siNs-ulaUirs and investors breathed freely, some criti cal situation was relieved, or some iiu pending catastropheCnomeutarily averted. In particular, a singular stroke of good fortune that morning befell Mr. Nott He not only > vedred n new tenant, nut, as he sagaciously believed, introduced into the Pontiac a counteracting Influence to the subtle fascinations of de Ferrieres. Tho new tenant apparently poewNscd a combination if business shrewdness and brusque frank ness that strongly impressed his landlord. “You see, Koacy," said Nott, complacently describing tho inter view to his daughter, “when I sorter in timated in a koc-rless kind o’ way that sugar kettles and hair dye was about played out cz securities, he just planked down tho money for two mouths in ad vance. ‘There,’ sez be, ‘that’s your se curity—now where’s mine?’ ‘I reckon I don’t hitch on, pardnor,’ sez I; ‘security what for?’ ‘ ’Spose yon sell the ship?’ ses he, ‘afore the two mouths is up. I’ve heard that old Sleight wan’s to buy her.’ "Then you gets back your money,’ sez I. ‘And lose my room,’ sez he; ‘not much, old man. You sign a paper that whoever buys the ship inside o' two months hez to buy me es a tenant, with it; that’s on the square.’ So I sign the paper. It was mighty cute in the young feller, wasn’t it?” he said, , scanning his daughter’s pretty, puzzled face a little anxiously; “and don’t you see cz I ain’t goin' to sell the Pontiac, it's jest shout cz cute in me, eh? He’s a contrac tor somewhere around yer, and wants to lie near his work. So he takes the room uext to the Frenchman, that that ship 1 captain quit for th« mines, and succeeds nnterally to his cheat and things. He’s mighty peart looking, that young feller, Rosey—long black mustaches, all his own color, Rosey—and he’s a regular high- stepper, you bet. I reckon he’s not only been a gentleman, but es now. Some o’ them contractors are very high toned!” “I don’t think we have any right to give him the captain’s chest, father,” said Rosey; “there may be some private things in it. There were some letters and pho tographs in the hairdye man's trunk that you gave the photographer.” “That’s just it, Rosey,” returned Ab aev Nott, with sublime unconsciousness, “photographs and love letters you can’t sell for cosh, and I don’t mind glvln’ ’em away If they kin make a feller creature happy.” “But, father, have wo the right to give ’em away?" “They’re collateral security, Rosey," •aid her father, grimly. “Co-la-te-ral,” be continued, empliasizlng each syllable by tapping the fist of one hand in the open palm of the other. “Co-la-te-ral is the word the big business shariw yer about call 'em. You can’t get round that. ” He paused a moment, and then, os a new idea seemed to be painfully borne .In his round eyes, continued cautiously: “Was that the reason why you wouldn’t touch any of thorn dresses from the trunks of that opery gal es skedaddled tot Sacra mento? And yet them trunks I regularly bought at auction—Rosey—at auction, on spec—and they didn't realize the cost of drayage.” A slight color mounted to Rosey’s face. “No,” she said, hastily, “not that.” Hesi tating a moment she then drew softly to his side, and, placing her arms around his neck, turned his broad, foolish face toward* her own. “Father,;’ sho begun, “when mother died, would you have liked anyljody to take her trunks and paw siound her things and-wear them?” “When your mother died, just this side o' Sweetwater, Rosey," said Mr. Nott, with beaming unconsciousness, “she hadn’t any trunks. I reckon she hadn't even an extra gown hanging np in the wagin, ’cept the petticoat ez sho hod wrapped around yer. It was about ez much cz w« could do to skirmish round with Injins, alkali and cold, and we sorter forgot to dress for dinner. She never thought, Rosey, that you and me would live to be inhabitin' a paliss of a real ship. Ef she had she would have died a proud woman.” He turned his small, loving, boor like eyes upon her ns a preternaturally inno cent and trusting companion of Ulysses might have regarded the transforming Circe. Rosey turned away with the faintest sigh. The habitual look of ab straction returned to her eyes as if she bad once more taken refuge in her own ideal world. Unfortunately the change did not escape eittAr the sensitive obser vation or the fatnous misconception of the sagacious parent. “Ye'll be mountin' a few furbelows and flxlns, Rosey, I reckon, cz only natural Mebbee ye’ll have to prink up a little now that we’ve got a gentleman contractor iu the ship. I’ll see what I kin pick up in Montgomery street." And indeed he succeeded a few hours later in accomplishing with equal infelicity his generous design. When she returned from her household tasks she found on her berth a purple velvet bonnet of ex' extraordinary make, and a pair of white satin slippers. “They’ll do for a start off, Rosey,” he explained, “and I got ’em at my Aggers.” “But I go out so seldom, father, aud a bonnet” “That’s so,” interrupted Mr. Nott, complacently, “it might bo Jest ez well for a young gal like yer to appear ez if she did go out, or would go out if sho wanted to. Bo yon kin bo wearin’ that ar headstall kinder like this evening when the contractor’s here, ez if you'd Jest eomc in from a pasear.” Mias Rosey did not, however, Imme diately avail herself of her father’s pur chase, but contented herself with the nsual scarlet ribbon that like a snood con fined her brown hair, when she returned to her tasks. The space between the gal ley and tho bulwarks had lieeu her favor ite resort in summer when not actually engaged in household work. It urns now lightly roofed over with boards and tar paulin against tho winter rUtt, but still afforded her a veranda like space before tho galley door, where she coaid read or sew, looking over the bow of the Pontiac to the tossing bay or the further range of the Contra Costa hills. • “Jk* v Mini Itoscv brought the mirolc itaPchangcs. But after trying it on tie- fore lb, tiny mirror in tlx: galley once or twice, her ihouglits wandered away, and she fell Into one of her habitual reveries seated on a little sttol before the galley door. She -vas aroused from it by the slight shakl::: and rattling of the doors of a small Patch on the deck, not a dozen yard:! from where she sat. It had been ovidcLtly fastened from below during the wet wcatlj’t but ns she gazed, the fnsten- iug.; were renoved, the doors were sud- dculy lifted, un i the head and shoulders of a young man emerged from the deck. Partly from her father’s description, and part iy from tho impossibility of its being anybody else, she at once conceived it to tie the new lodger. Sho hud time to note that he was young and good looking, graver perhaps than became his sudden pantomimic appearance, but before she j could observe him closely he had turned, | closed the hatch with a certain familiar j dexterity, and walked slowly towards the , bows, liven in her slight bewilderment ; she observed that his step upon the deck ; seemed different to her father’s or the photographer's,, and that he laid his hand on various objects with a half caressing ease and habit. Presently he paused and turned hack, and glancing at the galley door for tho ilrst time encountered her wondering eyes. It seemed so evident that she had been a curious fqiectator of his abrupt entrance on deck that hjj was at first disconcerted i and confused. But after a second glance at her lie appeared to resume his compos ure, and advauced a little defiantly to wards the galley. “I suppose I .frightened you, popping up the fore hatch just uow?” “The what?” asked Rosey. “The fore hatch,” ho repeated impa tiently, indicating it with a gesture. "And that’s tho fore hatch?” she said abstractedly. “You seem to know ships.” “Yes—a little,” he said quietly. “I was below, and unfastened the hatch to come up the quickest way and take a look round. I’ve Just hired a room here,” he added explanatorily. "I thought so,” said Rosey simply; “you’re the contractor?” “Tho contractor!—oh, yes! You seem to know it all.” “Father’s told me.” “Oh, he’s your * father—Nott? Cer tainly. I sec now,” he continued, looking at lier witli a half repressed smile. “Cer tainly, Miss Nott, good morning,” behalf added and walked toward the companion way. Something in tho direction of his eyes us he turned away made Rosey Uft her hands to her head. Sho had forgotten to remove her father’s baleful gift. She snatched it off and ran quickly to the conqMiuion way. “Sir!” she called. The young man turned half way down the steps and looked up. There was a faint color In her cheeks and her pretty brown hair was slightly disheveled from the hasty removal of the bonnet. “Father’s very particular about stran gers being on thk deck,” she said, a little sharply. “Oh—ah—Pm sorry I Intruded.” “I—I—thought I’d toll you,” said Rosey, frightened by her boldness into a feeble anti-climax. “Thank you.” Sho cotoc back slowly to the galley and picked up the unfortunate bonnet with a slight sense of reruqgie. Why should she feel angry with her poor father’s unhappy offering? And what business had this strange young man to use the ship so familiarly? Yet she was vaguely con scious that she and her father, with all their love and their domestic experience of it, lacked a certain instinctive ease in its possession that the half Indifferent stranger had shown on first treading its deck. She walked to the hatchway and examined it with a new interest. Suc ceeding in lifting the hatch, she gazed at the lower dock. As^she already knew the ladder had long since been removed to make room for one of the partitions, the only way the stranger could have reached it was by leaping to one of the rings. To make sure of this she let herself down, holding on to the rings, and dropped a couple of feet to the deck below. She was in the narrow passage her father had pene trated the previous night. Before her was the door leading to de Ferrieres’ loft, al ways locked. It was silent within; It was tho hour when the old French man made his habitual promenade id the city. But the light from the newly opened hatch allowed her to see more of tho mysterious recesses of the forward bulkhead than she had known before, and she was startled by observing another yawning hatchway at her feet from which the closely fitting door hud been lifted and which the new lodger hail evidently forgotten to close again. The young girl stooped down and peered cautiously into the black abyss. Nothing was to be seen, nothing heard bnt the distant gurgle and click of water in some remoter depth. She replaced the hatch and returned by way of the jiassage to the cabin. When her father came home that night she briefly recounted the Interview with the new lodger and her discovery of his enriosity. Sho did this with a possible in crease of her nsual shyness and abstrac tion, and apparently more os a duty than a colloquial recreation. But it pleased Mr. Nott also to give it more than his usual misconception. “Looking round the ship, was ho—eh, Rosey?” he said with in finite archness. “In course, kinder swoep- in’ round the galley and offerin’ to fetch you wood and water, eh?” Even when the young girl had picked up her book with the usual faint smile of affectionate tolerance and then drifted away in its pages, Mr. Nott chuckled audibly. “1 reckon old Ereuchy didn't come by when the young one was bedevllln’ yon there.” “What, father?” said Rosey, lifting her abstracted eyes to his face. At the moment it seemed impossible that any human intelligence could have suspected deceit or duplicity in Rosey’s | clear gaze. But Mr. Notts intelligence 1 was superhuman. “I was sayin’ that Mr. Ferrieres didn’t happen in while the young feller was there—eh?” “No, father,” answered Rosey, with an effort to follow him out of the pages of her book. “Why?” But Mr. Nott did not reply. Later in 1 the evening he awkwardly waylaid the new lodger 1 adore the cabin door a* that gentleman would have to pass on to his room. “i ’m c.f-ald," said the young man, glancing nl Rosey, “that I intruded upon your dung! ter today. I was a little cu rious to h.-c the old ship, and 1 didn’t know what part of it was private.” "There ain't no private part to this yer ship—that ez, ’copting the rooms and ^ said Mr. Nott, authoritatively. Subjecting the anxious look of his daughter to his nsual faculty for miscon ception, he addedt “Thar ain’t no place wbar you haven’t as ranch right to go es any other man; thar ain’t any man, fur- r,r Ainervkan. vmin-T nr aI/I nr norca, cz nov got any oeucr ngnia. bu hew me, y< nag fellow. Mr. Ren- shn-.v—-my darter. My darter—Mr. Ren- slinw. Rosey, give tho gentleman a chair. She’s only jest coifte in from a protnoy- natle, and boss jest taken off her bonnet,” he added, with tut arch look at Rosey and a harried lock around the cabin, as if ho hoped to see the missing gift visible to tho general eye. “So take a seat a mlntt, won’t ye?” BRICi! BRICK! 1V« now have 011 bun I sad ready fnr eats u Mr. [lenshaw—my darter.” But Mr. Renshaw, after an observant glance at tho young girl’s abstracted face, brusquely excused himself. “I’ve got a letter to write," be said, with a half bow to Rosey. “Good night.” He crossed tho passage to the room that had been assigned to him, and, closing the door, gave way to some irritability of temper in his efforts to light the lamp and adjust his writing materials. For bis excuse to Mr. Nott was more truth ful than most polite pretexts. Ho had, indeed, a letter to write, and one that, be-, ing yet young in duplicity, the near pres ence of his host rendered difficult. For it ran as follows: Deah Sleight: A* I found I couldn’t get a chance to make any examination of ti e ship except as occasion of fered, I J'ist went In to rent lodgings in her from the God forsaken old ass who owns her, aud here I am a tenant for two months. I contracted for that time In case tho old fool should sell out to some ouo tlsc before. Except that she's cut np a little between decks by the partitions for lofts that that Pike county idiot has put into her, she looks but littie changed, aud her forehold, as far as I can judge, is intact. It seems that Nott bought her just as she stands, with her cargo half out, hut he wasn't here when she broke cargo. If anybody else had bought her but this cursed Missourian, who hasn't got the hayseed out of his hair, I might have found out something from him, and saved myself this kind of fooling, whicli isn't iu my line. If 1 could get possession of n loft on the main deck, well forward, justover the forebold, I could satisfy myself in a few hours, hut the loft is rented by that crazy French man who parades Montgomery street every after- noon, and though old Pike County wonts to turn him out, I'm afraid 1 can’t get it for a week to come. If anything should happen to me, just you waits down here and corral my things at once, for this old frontier pirate has a way of confiscat ing his lodgers' trunks. Yours. Dies.
