HIS
PUNISHMENT
By F. A. MITCHEL
"Did any oue ever bear the'like of
that! I'll lis bi«i!" with a concentra
tion of energy on the word "him."
Dorothy Doame, engaged to foin Ar
nold, had called at his house to see
his mother about arrangements for the
wedding. It happened that Tom and
his friend, Ned Wlnthrop. were In the
smoking room and unconscious of
Dorothy's presence in the adjoining
parlor. She overheard her fiance talk
ing with his ( hum. Ned was saying:
'•So you're to be swung off next
week? Poor fellow! You'll feel lilce a
muzzled dog, a chained dog, a dog
with his tail between his legs. If you
smoke she'll bother you till you give it
up that she may have the money you
spend on it for hats. If you stay at
home much of the time she'll make
you feel what it is to have a man
about the house all day. If you go
out she'll accuse you of leaving her to
mope at home while you are enjoying
yourself In the gay world. As for me,
she'll brook no rivalry. She'll freeze
me out the first"—
Dorothy heard no more, for at this
point Tom shut the door.
The honeymoon was over, and Ned
Winthrop was invited to spend the
week end at the newly married cou
ple's country p!::ce. When Arnold In
vited him Nod tried t" beg oil' by say
ing he had 110 inlud to be snubbed by
the bride with a view to breaking off
the last vestige of intimacy between
himself and the husbnnd. itut Tom
urged hiiu, and ho gave in. Mrs. Ar
nold received iiiiu cordially.
Moreover, she had provided a young
lady friend to meet him.
Miss Kate Rathboue had been select
ed from all of Mi's. Arnold's acquaint
ances as the most competent person to
make him eat his words overheard by
her before her marriage. The hearts
Miss Rathbone had smashed were like
the sands of the sea. Men had fought
over her. had uioaui d over her and
groaued over her. And now Ned had
been brought to the house in order to
be made to suffer for his strictures on
wives.
The not was set immediately. Miss
Rathbone gave XIr. Winthrop a glance
tbe moment of their meeting intended
to give lilm to understand that her
breath had been quite taken away by
his Apollo-like appearance. She "was
very gracious to him at dinner and
when left alone witlwuui on the ve
randa In the moonlight turned her face
so that the heavenly orb might rest
upon it. softened her voice to dove
like tones aud used her eyes without
mercy.
Mr. Winthrop appeared at least to be
deeply moved by his fair companion,
lie was a bright man, a good conver
sationalist, which with him meant to
listen attentively. II.s voice was a bari
tone, but he seldom used it, though
when he did it was witl^ good effect.
For two days he was under Uie fas
cinations of Miss Ra'bbone, and when
Monday came, being Invited to pro
long his visit, consented to do so.
Mrs. Arnold was much pleased at
the way her scheme of punishment
was progressing. Iter hrtsbnnd was
obliged to go to tbe city during the
day, but returned the same after
noon. Mrs. Arnold busied herself with
her household duties while he was ab
sent, leaving her guests to entertain
each other.
Every day it was expected that Ned
Winthrop would break down before
Kate Rathbone and Veg for mercy.
Tlii-re was certainly every indication
that he would. He showed plainly
that he was about to drop into the
bottomless pit that had been dug for
him. lie hung on Miss Rathbone's
every word. If she remained long in
her room for her afternoon siesta he
walked about forlorn, and his face
brightened at her appearance. Mrs.
Arnold did not scruple to do some
eavesdropping, hoping to hear the pro
posal.
At the end of ten days Winthrop re
marked ruefully that his affairs in the
city were suffering mid-he must re
turn. Mrs. Arnold lyged him to re
main, and Miss Rathbone looked un
happy at the prospect of his departure.
He was easily persuaded and the eam
paiim was prolonged. But there was
every indication that a capitulation
would occur at any moment.
Ou the morning of the thirteenth (un
lucky) day of this scheme of punish
ment Mr. Winthrop did not appear at
breakfast. A servant reported that he
had started for the railway station for
the 5:30 train. The two conspirators
looked at each other in dismay. Then
a maid brought the hostess a note left
by her guest apologizing for his abrupt
departure. He had received a tele
phone message during the night that
his presence was needed in the city.
When the postman came he brought a
letter for Miss Rathbone from a friend.
Slit read it and handed it to Mrs. Ar
nold. It ran as follows:
I understand that woman hater, lady
killer Ned Winthrop, is of your party at
the Arnolds'. Although you are adept at
such affairs \purself. I would advise you
to have a car© with him. He is a terrible
heart breaker, without any conscience
whatever.
Mrs. Arnold looked'np from the Tet
ter to her friend, and both burst into
a laugh.
"Tom," said Sirs. Arnold before her
husband's departure-for the city, "why
didn't you tell me your chum was a
heart smasher?"
"Because we men always stand by
each other." ' i

The dressing bugle bad sounded some
time since, but Dorothy still stood
looking out over the sea. She was
thinking how unfortunate it was thai
dinner on shipboard always robbed he*
of a view of the sunset She was a
good sailor and^consequently had no
excuse for taking her meals on deck.
"Still, if this were the only thing I
had to worry over," she reflected, "I
might Indeed be a happy woman."
And this was why Dorothy Shaw
was a mystery to all her friends. She
refused to be happy, though rich.
"Try it yourselves," she would re
ply to their expressions of incredulity.
"Have so much money left you that
your every movement is followed by
reporters. If you happen to order a
different paper on Friday from the one
you bought on Thursday you are cer
tain that you wiil read in all of them
on Saturday that you have decided
to give a million to the campaign
fund."
She felt that she could trast no one.
By sorry experience she had learned
that wealth was a bait few could re
sist, and "How much does he or she
want now?" was her first thought on
the advances of every new friend she
niude.
Fiually in desperation she bad taken
passage In a slow ship under an as
sumed name, but even so was beset
by the constant fear that some one
on board would have seen her picture
in the papers \vUieu her uncle left her
the fortune which was her nightmare.
That was an additional reason why
she liked to linger on deck after most
of her fellow passengers had gone
down to array themselves for dinner.
"Oh!"
Th'e exclamation was rorcea rroin
her by n sudden gust of wind that took
her tain on Its wings and blew it
straight across the gap of lower after
deck that intervened on the Ali«la be
tween the first and second cabins.
The next instant she smiled and bare
ly refrained from applauding. A man
standing well forward on the deck had
stretched out bis hand and caught the
truant bit of red worsted as it went
whizzing by him.
A half minute later and the two were
standing on the neutral territory of the
deck below, for Dorothy had descend
ed la order to meet htm halfway In re
storing her property.
"I'm very much obliged," said she.
"Not at all," said the man.
He was tall and straight and had the
clear blue eyes that Dorothy preferred
above all others.
She was about to turn back when the
other exclaimed:
"Look; there's a whale! He's just
spouted^ He'll come up again in a min
ute, if you care to watch. See, where
my Anger points."
Dorothy certainly did care to watch.
In all her crossings she had never seen
a^whale. Now she was rewarded with
irflne view of ti large specimen.
As it happened, this one kept on In
the direction of the steamer for awhile,
and after each spout she felt she must
fralt and see the next one. And then
her companion seemed to know a good
deal about the creatures, which he Im
parted In a voice which possessed for
Dorothy an Indefinable charm.
Voices were a sort .of hobby with her.
She often declared that this was the
one point on which she was not thor
oughly patriotic—she could not bring
herself to admire the average American
accent.
But this stranger's voice puzzled her.
He looked and dressed like one of her
countrymen, but he spoke with neither
the western bur, the southern twang,
the Boston affectation nor the New
York flatness.
Slie did not KQOW UHIU some wtrcu
later that he was English born, but
had eorae to the States as a young
fellow hoping for better opportunities
to make a living than hisf mother coun
try afforded him. He was returning
to England to claim a sum of money
left him by an uncle.
The dinner bugle sounded, and the
man, as if reminded by its notes that
he belonged in a different atmosphere
(the second cabin 1b called to meals by
a plebeian bell), lifted his cap and
walked away.
For the remainder of the voyage
Sherwood Roberta hung over the back
rail to gaze Into the swirl of waters
surging out from the twin screws and
curse the fate that had led to his meet
ing this pretty woman on the present
trip instead of on the one he expected
to take a few weeks later.
"I might as well be a thousand miles
away from her as In second cabin," he
muttered between clinched teeth. "Idiot
that I was for coming this way. And
to think that within ten days I could
lay a fortune at her feet And the con
ventions won't eren permit that I send
her a ngte to say that this is positive
ly my fast appearance In poverty- But
perhaps I'll meet her In London."
He never did, however, although he
haunted Hyde park and the fashion
able hotels after his claim to his un
cle's property had been established
and he had come into the possession of
that which enabled him to dress three
times a day.
1
i "I Wonder now," he.would sometimes
nsk himself, "if I had.put my pride 'In
| my pocket and borrowed enough on my
expectations to come over tirst instead
of sccond, would things have turned
out differently? She looked as if she
didn't mind bo very much my having
detained her to talk about whales. I
wonder If"—
But what was the use of wondering
anything about a woman he would
probably never see again?
So this Englishman who had lived
so long lb the States that he could <iot
keep away from them re-embarked for
his adopted country in a first cabin
deck room and tried to be happy In
spite of a handicap that he couldn't
forget
During the first night out it came on
to blow great guns. Roberts lay in
his berth late, debating whether to get
up or not, when suddenly something
shot through his open port and hit
him squarely In the face.
It was soft and red, with gold
threads running through it and—
"Great Scott!" ejaculated Roberts,
starting up In tils berth. "Her tarn!"
? Surely there could not be two of
them—at least, he hoped there couldn't
But how had it^ome Into his cabin?
It could not be possible that she
knew he was there and had taken this
means of apprising him of her pres
ence? Why, she bad scarcely spoken
half a dozen words to him in her life.
But the cap was hers unmistakably.
He fondled it foolishly for a min
ute or two and then got up and pro
ceeded to dress with all speed, or at
least with as much speed as was con
sistent with the rolling of the vessel.
All day he hauuted the ladies' room
and the decks, almost deserted on ac
count of the storm, and had begun to
read the cards allixed beside each
stateroom door when he suddenly re
membered the foolishness of this plan
to find a woman whose name he did
not know.
"This is sluiply maddening," he told
himself aftec a day of fine weather
and still no sight of the tarn's owner.
"At tills rate she will escape me again."
Then he bethought him of a brilliant
expedient.
He took a pen and wrote the follow
ing notice:
Found. — A lady's red tam, shot with
gold. Owner may have same by applying
at cabin 23 between bugles any evening.
T^his he affixed to the bulletin board
in the companlonway and that night
dressed a half hour before the first
bugle sounded so as to be in readiness
to receive company during the period
uamed.

nor the next, and now there were only
two (lays left on the voyage.
He had passed a half hour of im
patient"wniting In the stuffy state
room on the third day of the notion
and, quite discouraged, threw open nl
door to go to dinner, when he stepped
squarely into the person who had
emerged from her room just opposite
in the narrow eutryway.
"I beg your pardon," said Roberts,
and then he fairly gasped as he real
ized that the other person was the
lady of the tam.
"I have something of yours," he
blurted out—"that red bra you lost
once before."
The girl's cheeks suddenly took on |
the hue of the cap that hung over i
Roberts' berth.
"Oh," she said, "was it your port 1
dung it into? T didn't know. It start
ed to blow away again that first morn
ing, and I thought I was tossing It
into my own cabin."
"And you've been just across that
five foot space," Roberts rejoined,
"while I've been ransacking the ship
for you—to restore the tam," he has
tened to add. "Didn't you see the no
tice on the bulletin board?"
"Xo. This is the first I've been out
since the storm. It left me with a
nasty reminder of the shaking we all
received. I'm so glad to be on deck
again! Did you have a pleasant trip
on the other side?"
"Jolly fine," answered Roberts.
But he wasn't thinking of the other
side at all when he said it, but of the
woman he had lost and found again.
Unconsciously they had walked to
that part of the deck where Dorothy
had been standing when the tam blew
off on the voyage over.
"I suppose I must pin the cap in
tightly this time," she remarked. "You
won't be there to catch. it if it flies off
asrain." And she glanced over at the
second cabin.
He looked up at the one she was
wearing.
"That's a very pretty tam," he ob
served Irrelevantly. "I trust it Is
skewered in tightly."
Whether she read his inner mean
ing, she gave ne token then, but sug
gested that It was nigh time they both
went down to dinner. The next night
was the dance, and after the final two
step she reminded him that In the
morning there would be the bustle of
landing.
"And I haven't relieved you of that
tam yet," she added.
"I shall tnlss it very much," he re
plied. "And you won't need It now
the voyage Is over."
"Yes," she said softly, her eyes fix
ed on Nantucket light, toward which
they were swiftly cutting their way.
"I suppose it has served its purpose,
but I don't want to lose it again."
Roberts knew she wasn't thinking of
all the words implied, but he was
quick enough to seize "at the opening,
and—well, before they faced the cus
toms officers on the pier he knew where
to take the tam.
But he always forgets to carry it
with him whan he calls, and when
Dorothy one evening said "Yes" to a
certain question he asked her she add
ed, "This Is a desperate step to take
to regain possession of a little old red
tam-o'-shanter."
