Jack Haversbam was a sailor boy
back in the latter part of the last cen
tury. He was a lovable sort of fellow
with a pair of mild blue eyes and an
engaging smile. Moreover, there was
a lot of strength in his muscles, of the
value of which he was unconscious.
Such men are attractive to women,
and Jack was especially so.
One flue morning while bis ship, the
Albania of New York, was at anchor
in the harbor of Tokyo Haversham set
out from the shore a member of a lib
erty party. They all made for a tea
house where tea is but a small part of
the entertainment. In these houses are
young girls who have been educated
to dance and sing for the entertain
ment of those who frequent them.
The sailors spent some time in this
manner. Anally breaking into small
groups of two or three with a view to
seeinc other sights.
JackHa versbam was finally left aiouc
In the tea bouse. One of I lie girls kail
noticed tbe stalwart sailor, and the
Bailor had noticed the girl. Words are
not needed to express admiration. In
deed, they are not to be compared for
tbe purpose to looks. While the geisha
girl wasdauciug and singing her liquid
eyes were occasionally thrown loward
Jack, and, as for Jack's eyes, they
never left the geisha girl.
Otber persons came and went, but
Jack did not move on. However, his
remaining where he was so long was
not remarked upon. The place was a
public one. and the more persons and
the longer they stayed the better—that
Is, so long as they spent money.
Japan Is full of marriage brokers,
who make a living by uniting couples.
One of these brokers was in the tea
house and noticed Jack's eyes bent ad
miringly on the geisha girl. Thinking
there was a chance to make a fee, he
approached the sailor, lie knew that
Jack wag either British or American
and that he would not understand
the Japanese language. But he knew
enough of the English tongue to make
himself understood. He remarked
upon the beauty of the geisha girl, her
grace, her mellifluous voice, then be
gan to estol her many virtues. Jack
listened to him, wondering what mi-lit
be the cause of the man's interest in
her and why he praised her to him.
The reason came out when the broker
asked Jack If he would like to marry
her.
While Jack had no intention of mar
rying any one. he was not averse to
pursuing tbe subject so far as it per
tained to the pretty geisha girl, lie
asked the broker whether he thought
she would like to marry him. to which
the broker responded that he did not
know, but he would undertake for a
consideration to discover whether she
would or not.
Jack consented to an introduction to
the girl, whose name translated from
the Japanese was Apple Blossom. So
it was arranged that the sailor, whose
leave ended that night at U oVloi-k.
should remain in Tokyo, takiug what
punishment would be meted out to him
when he returned to his ship. The in
troduction to Apple Bio' soin took place,
and Jack's return to his ship was de
layed so long that she sailed without
him.
Whether it was the persuasive elo
quence of the broker or the affection
of the young couple, which grew by
bounds, a contract of marriage was
drawn up by the broker aiid signed by
the sailor and the geisha girl. Then
Jack was called ifpoii to 'mnke a pay
ment. When be hml come ashore he
bad brought all bis wages during a
long voyage, expecting to spend them
on the liberty party. But his meeting
with Apple Blossom bad turned him
luto a different channel from bis ship
mates. and be bad spent very little.
So he produced the money, consider
| Ing It a marriage portion that would
remain In the family. So it did—In the
wife's family, for Jack was informed
j that in the marriage by which he had
I been tied to Apple Blossom a fund was
required by the groom, which was paid
; to the parents of the bride.
This was unwelcome news to Jack,
i who so far as he had looked into the fu
' ture expected that this money would
! at least last him through the honey
I moon. However, the amount required
'for his father and mother in law was
j not large, and be was assured that be
would not be expected to take care of
tbeiu any further or be bothered with
them in any way. He had enough mon
ey over lo last him two weeks, and he
j gave himself up to the sweets of in
! clplent matrimony,
| When his money was gone, Jack real
j Iziug that there was uo way for bim to
make a living in Japan—or on land
anywhere for that matter—was obliged
to return to Ihe sea. His bride as well
i a§ he bewailed the situation, but there
was nothing else to be done. So he
sigued-with an American ship trading
between the east and the west and.
bidding adieu to bis Apple Blossom,
J sailed away to be gone the greater part
| of a year at least and possibly Indefl
| nitely.
| it U:ts been Siitd mat a sanor uas a
sweetheart in every port. Jack Hav
i ersham had a wife in Tokyo, and It
| was not long before temptation came
[ to have another in ids native coun
try. The truth is that filt constancy
! everything was against him. He was,
[as has been said, especially attractive
to women and was constantly beset by
them. On returning to America the
crew of the vessel in which he had
'sailed from Tokyo was discharged, and
Jack concluded to pay a visit to his
birthplace on f.ong Island before ship
ping again.
The day he arrived at home the first
person he met was Maggie I'lxley.
whose complexion of white and red
bad been ripened under the sun and
sea breezes. Maggie noticed the hand
some young sailor, and there was ad
miration in her eyes. They had known
each other as children, but had great
ly changed since .lack when a boy ofN
fourteen had ?one to sea. But each
saw something familiar in the other
and turned at the same time for anoth
er look.
"Aren't you Jack Ilaversham?"
"Yes. And you are Maggie Pixley!"
Jack turned from the way he was
colng and walked Maggie's way. That
was the right way for him, because
they had been lovers as children, and
when he had parted with her years
ago he bad sworn to be true to her.
lie did i; it consider it necessary to say
that he had left a wife in Japan.
He walked on. chatting glibly, asking
after this person and that person, Mag
gie the while looking up into his face
[through lk-r brown eyes, revealing by
her smiles a dimple in each cheek and
her white teeth.
| The loves of an inconstant man are
very much the same. Jack's were as
isuredly so lie fell in love as easily
as a ship will rise and fall on a gently
undulating sea. Naturally he was trou
bled nt remembering that there was a
barrier between him and Maggie In his
marriage with the geisha girl, but any- 1
thing that interferes with what we de
sire only renders that desire more keen.
Jack couldn't stay at home forever,
for. in tiie first place, he had nothing
laid up and. In the second, we all need
occupation. He and Maggie became
lovers, she knowing uothing of his
marriage till he left her to sign on a
new ship: then, when she naturally
showed that she expected him to speak
his mind and intentions toward her.
not being able to do so honorably, he
made his confession.
It was a great blow to Maggie. She
did not blame him. She only regretted

me carrier innt existed Derween tnrnj.
The porting was very sad, both declar
ing that there was no use trying to
forget each other. They must simply
endure their mutual misfortune.
Six months after his departure Jack
found himself in Tokyo. It was not
his wish to be there. He could not
help himself since his ship went there.
He did not avail himself of permission
to go ashore for some time after his
arrival, but Anally was ordered ashore
on some duty. The first man he met
was the broker who had made the
match for him with Apple Blossom.
"Ah, Mr. Haversham!" exclaimed the
man. "How yon like to marry again ?
1 find you a finte wife."
"Marry! You son of Satan, I'm mar
ried already. You know that as well
as I."
"You marry for six months. That
marriage has expired."
"What!"
"You no know our laws in Japan.
We have a law that a man marries a
woman for some time. He pay. the
money to go to the wife's father and
mother. That all right in this country.
Do you suppose I marry n sailor for
ever?"
"Great Scott!"
"I marry Apple Blossom again—twice
since I marry her to you."
"Say It again, you heal hen!" cried
Jack, gripping the man on each shotil
der and shaking him till his teeth rat
tled.
"1 say It a hundred times. I show
you the contract." '
"Show it—right off!"
An investigation ensued, which con
vlnced Jack that he had made a limit
ed marriage recognized by the laws of
Japan and considered there perfectly
honorable to both parties. He secured
papers to show that he could lie mar
ried aguiu In his native country with
out committing bigamy.
"Well, you satisfied?" asked the
broker.
"Yes; I am mighty well satisfied."
"Then I get you another wife."
"No, you wou't!"
"Our law very fine law for sailor
man," said the broker urgently.
"I dare say it is. It has proved the
best kind for me. hut 1 have no fur
ther use for it."
"You like to see Apple Blossom?"
"No. Why would I want lo see her?"
"Apple Blossom not married now. 1
make a new marriage for you with her
cheap."
Jack took the little man by the collat
and the seat of the breeches and threw
him up iulo a cherry tree, where he
clung to the branches while his client
walked away.
Ou his way home Jack took very
good care of himself, declining to go
ashore lest be fall under the spell of
some fair damsel, for, though his heart
wjis really true to Maggie, he knew
tluit it was not wise to expose liiiusell
to temptation.
Wlien lie una ms regular sweeiueai i
met lie took her to bis arms, she re
sisting till he assured her that lie was
free to marry her. After more trans
ports he explained the Japanese law
by which he had been married.
"That's a very good law," she said,
"for sailors."
Nevertheless Maggie would not cou
sent to marry Jack Haversbain till she
had made inquiries anil learned that
there is in Japan such a marriage law
as he had been married under without
knowing it. Then she consented, but
only when Jack had promised to leave
a seafaring life and remain at home,
where she might *>ntcb him.

Take one ocean liner plying between
San Francisco and the Philippines.
Add a young man going to Hawaii on
business and an heiress and her aunt

two young folk gradually among the
other passengers, with an occasional
half hour alone away from the watch
ful eye of the aunt. Turn the ship into
the center of one tropical storm. Mix
gradually until they come to a froth,
the sea and the bowling of the winds.
Beat the vessel slowly against jagged
rocks until It is well pounded up.
Throw in looks of despair to suit the
taste. Add 0110 blinding flash of light

"convulsive heave of the stout old hull
that had braved the southern seas for
years."
Pour a wave mountain high on the
ship, mixing the passengers briskly
together; then turn the entire mass
suddenly into the sea. Put the young
man's arm providentially against a
floating spar, chicken coop or a door
torn off a stateroom. Have another

his direction. Put in a "strong young
