"That is settled. then," said Robert laughing good liaturedly, for In? well knew what a weird spectacle lie inusl present to the hcwildered old gentle man. Even Sir Arthur Deane was fasciuat i*?l by the ragged and hairy giant win carried himself so masterfully ami helped everybody over the stile at tiu l ight moment. He tried to develop Hit change in the conversation. "By the way," he said, "how came you to be on the Sirdar? I have a list hi i111 i in: s <iii(i ert'n , ami your name does nut appear therein."' "Oil, that is easily accounted for. I shipped as a steward in the name of Itoherl .Tenks." "Robert .lenks! A steward!" "Yes. That forms some part of the promised explanation." Iris rapidly gathered the drift of her lover's wishes. "Come, father,"' she cried merrily. I aits aching to see what the ship's dotes, which you and Robert pin your faith to, can do for nte in the shape of garments. 1 have the utmost belief iu the r.ritish navy, and even a skeptic dtould be convinced of its infallibility f II. M. S. Orient is able to provide a tidy's outiit." Sir Arthur Iieauc gladly availed bintelf of the proffered compromise. lie tssisled Iris into the boat, though that rctive young person was far better ible to support biiu. ami a word to tbe jflleer iu command sent tbe gig Hying tack to the ship. Anstrutlier during a nomeutary delay made a small request >n bis own account. Lieutenant PlayIon. nearly us big a man as Robert, lispatcbed a note to bis servant, and be gig speedily returned with a complete assartiuent of clothing and linen, l'lte man also brought a dressing case, ivith the result that a dip in the batli iin! ton minutes in the hands of an ex?ert valet made Anstruthcr :? new man. Acting under his advice, the bodies >f the dead were thrown into the laroon, the wounded were collected in he hut. to be attended to by the ship's dirgeon, and the prisoners were parad'd in front of Mir Jan. who identified ?very man and found by counting leads that none was missing. iiohert did not forget to write out a ormal notice and fasten it to the rock, i'his proceeding further mystified the iliioeis of the Orient, who had gradualy formed a connected idea of the great iglit made by the shipwrecked pair, hough Anstruthcr squirmed inwardly vlien lie thought of the manner in cinch iris would picture the scone. \s it was. he had the first innings, and u> did not fail to use the opportunity, a tiie few terse words which the Indian! Mriton best understands he doeribed tlie girl's fortitude, her unllagting ( beerfuluess. her uncomplaining oadiiiess, to do ami dare. When lie ended, the first lieutenant, riio eotnnianded the boats sent in puruit of the Hying Hyaks-the Orient ank both sampans as soon as they cere lauiu lied summed up the generI verdict "Yuu do not need our admiration, 'nplaiu Anstrulher. Each man of us 'livios you from the bottom of his oul." "There is an error about my rank," ip said. "I di?l once hold a commission 11 the Indian army, hut I was court nartialed and cashiered in Hongkong fix months ago. I was unjustly convicted on a grave charge, and I hope mine day to clear myself. Meanwhile [ am a mere civilian. It was only diss Ilea no's generous sympathy ivhlcli led her to mention my former auk, Mr. l'laydon." Ilad another of the Orient's twelve lounder shells suddenly hurst' in the nidot of the group of officers it would lave created less dismay than this un'xpccted avowal. Court mnrtlaled! "asldcrcd! None but a service man an grasp the awful significance of .hose words to the commissioned ranks if tiie army and navy, Anstruthcr well knew what lie was loing. Somehow lie found nothing hard n tlie performance of these penances low. Of course the ugly truth uiust >0 revealed the moment Lord Ventnor card his name. It was not fair to the jood fellows crowding around him and trUdY nutiutunj thqt $ht> fronfc I ^ hospitality of tlie Hrltish aallor eould suggest to permit them to adopt the tone of fricudly equality which rigid discipline if nothing else would not allow them to maintain. The Ilrst lieutenant by reason of his rank was compelled to say something. "That is n devilish bad Job. Mr. Anstrutlier," he blurted out. "Well, you know I had to tell you." He smiled unaffectedly at the wondering circle. lie, too. was an officer and appreciated their sentiments. They were unfelgnedly sorry for him. n man so brave and modest, such a splendid type of the soldier and gentleman, yet by their common law an outcast. Nor could they wholly understand his demeanor. There was a noble dignity in his candor, a conscious Innocence that :lisdnlne<l to shield Itself tinder a partial truth. The first lieutenant again phrased flio thoughts of his juniors. "I and every other man ItrJ,he ship cannot help hut sympathize with you. Tint whatever may be your record?If you were an escaped convict, Jlr. Anstrut her?110 one could wlthhpKr. from you the praise deserved for your niugliificcnt stand against overwhelming odds. Our duty is plain. We will bring you to Singapore, where the others will no doubt wish to go immediately. I will tell the captain what you have been good enough to acquaint 11s with. Mcun, while we will give you every assistance , and?cr- attention in our power." A murmur of approbation ran | through the little circle. Robert's face I paled somewhat. What first rate chaps ' they were, to he sure! 1 "I can only thank you," he said unsteadily. "Your kindness is more try. itig than adversity." I A rustic of silk, the intrusion into the t intent knot of men of a young lady In a l'aris gown, a 1'aris lint, carrying a Troiivillu parasol alul most exquisitely . gloved and hooted, made every one ? gasp. 1 "Oh. Robert, dear, how could you? I > actually didn't know you!" Tims Iris, bowitohingly attired, was gazing now with provoking admiration > at uooert, who certainly offered almost as great a contrast to liis former state as did the girl herself. lie returned her look with interest. "Would any man believe," he laughed, "that clothes would do so much for a woman?" "What a left handed compliment! But come, dearest. Captain Fitzroy uud Lord Ycntnor have come ashore with father and me. They want us to show them everything! You will excuse him, xeon't you?" she added, with a seraphic smile to the others. They walked off together. "Jimmy!" gasped a fat mfclshlpman to a lanky youth. "She's got on your togs!" Meaning that Iris had rajsactifrd tho Orient's theatrical wardrobe and pounced on the swell outllt of the principal female impersonator in the ship's company. [to be continued.} Sometimes the Reason. "Jones is eternally bragging of his wife'3 cooking." "That is because he is too stingy to keep a hired girl." Adaptable. "He is going to open an auto repair shop." "Had any experience in that line?" "Well, lie was educated as a horso doctor." Same Thing. "Ho ought to go to a Jag cure." "Yes, or a jug cure." Second Hand. Wu / L mm I When h<> was sIurIc he had views On politics and life.

Love is the only thing in the world that has nothing whatever to do with money, hut you don't find It swinging on every gate. 1 Writing as a free lance Is strenuous exercise, as It is generally accompanied by a dally chase of the wolf froin your door. If the luudludy has money the star hoarder marries her for the purpose of becoming a tlsed star. The path to success Is ho apt to be overgrown with grass that it Is barely discernable. , In some acquired complexions the beauty Isn't even skin deep.
