Miriam Nesbltt Is a great favorite
with photo players and fans alike.
Her charming personality has been In
strumental in making her success as

takes her pretty charge to the saiue
point When they arrive In Arizona
the young lady thinks Bunny is the
man she must marry, and the young
man likewise mistakes. The two young
people try to escape their prospective
helpmeets and by so doing learn "who's
who," which mak&s them very anxious
to marry each other. When they re
turn to their elderly companions they
find them of like mind and all start
back east on their honeymoons.

The .surge m tw itched his spruce eye

"Oh. Mebi'o. '»ur senior engineer—

saitl he in his isnal flippant, exasper
ating tone, "He'll go the same as

cous voice: "That is what happens
with these understaffed engine rooms
and insufficient repairs. Here we are,
the lamest of the lame ducks in the
division and tailin" off the column,
with a reserve chap out of an easy,
oozy, ten knot merchantman handlin'
our engines, and rickety old machines
they are. CJod alone knows what'll
happen with him and his untried nerve
when we pick the enemy up again!"
"A jolly good thing for us the enemy
are just as much worried with break
downs," was the consoling remark
from the other end of the table. "The
Ritrik, the Freyn. the .lena and"—
"I wouldn't indict the dockyard on
the insufficient repairs point, Bellamy,"
interrupted the second. "My lords were
responsible. They wouldn't enlarge the
yards, make new ones or lease out re
pairs, so as to have all the necessary |
work for mobilization coped with ade-1
quatel.v. Hut it is odd how she was j
passed out with the starboard cylinder
cover not remedied. Of course nobody '11
be held responsible, as usual!"
Bellamy nod. .hj, turning from scold
ing the harassed steward. He replied
slowly. "But yet when an It. N. R.
fellow can pop up and take seniority
over the regular service, as in this
boat, you can't expect"—
"Oh, here we are again!" the sec
ond broke in with. "Jealousies as
usual. Torshell is ;:s fit as any engi
neer. By Gi-nrge," he cried, listening
intently, "the engines ore slowin'
down!"
II.
Torshell had approached Captain
Widdrington and the "first," who lin
gered in the chart house discussing
recent instructions. The senior engi
neer had coughed slightly to intimate
his presence. The captain looked up,
i frown sweeping his hard face on
marking him.
"Sir," cried the engineer, "the port"—
"One moment, sir!" was the short an
swer.—"This. iaii-'t a steam bus." And
Torshell, again saluting, iiaa stfcppea
buck, his pallid face blood red and bis
iGetll i*ard flinched and gritting. The
wary. d?pTo*iT,l,.Ue-4Wtthen cljeer
iiy nodded aside to him.
He let himself rock to the vessel's
jiggling among the cumbrcms masses of
sea. Since he had Joined, ofT the way
laid liner, his had been hard luck. He
felt acutely the general sentiment
against bim, but. notwithstanding all,
his mettle was yet strong. It was the
snobbish crowd In the wardroom and
the unpleasant bearing of his subordi
nates that caused tils discomfort of
miud.
Suddenly he had held in his breath
and unwittingly stepped toward the
bridge ladder. The first drew himself
back from the chart, darting a look of
surprise at Torshell. But the captain's
yteel blue eyes flamed with sudden an
ger.
•'Good heavens, sir! Your engines
aren't slowing down?"
Torshell saluted. "Port air pump.
sir."
"This drives a man mad!" cried Wid
drington, crashing his big flst upon the
table. "Nothing but defects, defects!
Can ye drive engines at all, you mis
erable merchantman? What d'ye want
to slacken down to? What's wrong
this time? You"—
That second came a tremendous Jar
ring and crunching beneath their feet
The grent ship was shaken like a thing
of straw. An appalling hammering
followed, chaotic and deafening. Gray
steam surged through hatchways, ven
tilators and companions.
The senier engineer had rushed from
the bridge. As he raced amidships he
snatched the sacking off the backs of
some of the "black squad" dumping
ashes overboard, grabbed at a quarter
master's oilskins and shoved them all
upon him.
VGarret air Epburn an' Mr. Jerroll
in port alleyway!" was the answer to
his shout from the artificers now In
safety. It reached his ear as he step
ped down into the uproar of smashing,
clashing metal.
With heightened anxiety ana rear,
Widdrington stared at tlie steam still
outpouring. The thunderous clanking
of ponderous machinery galloping* loose
beat frightfully into his ear. With
much more of it bilge plates would be
started.
It was then that a blear eyed, cinder
burnt signalman came hurrying along.
"Flugship flingin' out "Chase' signals,
sir!" was his report.
111.
When Torshell again dragged him
self on the bridge he was a mete un
shapely mass, held together by swaths
of tint. Widdrington stepped hastily
to him and helped him up the last
rungs of the ladder. The captain look
ed into the seamed and scalded, face,
nearly hidden buneath bandages. Said
he heartily: "By heavens, ye've pluck!
These men owe their lives to yon.
Ye've ptuck." And with this certifi
cate forthcoming at last for service
done he dismissed the case for hero
ism.
"But about this breakdown—what
can you do? Our east wing scouts are
in touch with the enemy, and here am
I not doing five knots. Never a shot
to be fired, and ahead they've got all
the work. Can you do nothing With
these starboard engines?"
"They are in a pretty bad fix, but
I'll do my best to work them for a
time at least."
The soni6r engineer staggered to a
deep wallow of the stricken vessel as
a tumultuous swell tilted her casemat
cd broadside. He would haTe fallen
headlong If the officers had not sprung
forward and caught him under the
arms. He moaned. "My knee! My
knee! It's smashed."
Half an hour later he was superin
tending his officers and men, who,
stripped to their trousers, were clear
ing away the wreck. Every order that
issued peremptorily from his blanched
lips went full and fair to the mark and
afforded jsucdnct knowledge .aa'd .con
u
Wilis;
fidence to the grimy, sweating \forkers.
Theirs were unbegrudged obedience
ani execution, for each now understood
his man. Hunched shouldered, he was
through physical agonies; yet, know
ing that he held the lives of 700 men
and t'hac greQt, glorious ship in his
hand, he maintained^.1? will indomita
ble. Not a detail escaped nis-^s® or
slipped his brain.
IV.
Night had long since dropped. The
Immense boat lay lurching from side
to side, plunging wildly under the tons
of green seas that thudded like batter
ing rams agaiust her bows and fore
cast! e what time the high walled swell
broke roaring.
"Make for northwest trade patrol.
Regain nearest port. Much regret
breakdown," had been thp sorely har
assed vice admiral's latest message.
Captain Widdrington, a barrel swath
ed in shawls and uiany waterproofs,
was with the first and third lieutenants
on the afterbridge. Wearily he turn
ed from straining his eyes over the in
distinct summits of yeasty seas and
cleared the brine off his face and bushy
eyebrows with the flat of his left hand.
He was cautiously making his way up
the bridge when suddenly he stopped
short. A quartermaster shouted, "D'ye
hear that, sir?"
A faint-boom had rung through the
stormy wind, ominous, like to a dying
world's last echo.
The first dodged a scattered spout of
sea. "If the enemy drive down on us
will you fight, sir?"
"Yes, by heavens: As well go down
fightin' as not. If we can work ship
it's the very weather for us. See Tor
shell. I must risk the port engines."
And as Wiugate carefully made his
way on deck "Firin' east sou'east!"
was the lookout's hail.
"He climbed down the thirty odd feet
of slippery ladder into the maze of mo
tionless machinery. As he touched the
senior engineer on the elbow he noted
his inbent nnd quivering lips.
"Can't say," was the answer. "Meb
be we will. But every man is workin*
his best. If it is in my power the star
board mills '11 run."
"If we can't steam God help us!"
ejaculated the first.
V.
As the luckless warship flung herself
about the Iron flooring beneath the
wornout men seesawed hither and
thither, throwing them off their feet.
She evened herself in a broad valley
of the mountainous sea wastes.
Torshell yelled: "Let her go! Let
her go!"
A breaking hill of wild water was
hurling itself on the weather quarter
just as the chains rattled through the
blocks. Torehell lurched forward and
then, to the boat's violent heeling, top
pled helplessly between the hinder col
umn of the intermediate engine and
the banging mass of cylinder gear.
"Lower! Lower! Never mind me!"
came in an intense shriek. Their rack
ed and knotted arms pulled desperate
ly, and the disconnected workings were
lowered clear down to the floor plates.
The maimed and bleeding mass of
flesh that had been Torsliell, R. N. R.,
was slipping into the crank pit, but
Jerroll and some others held It fast
And it came that as the waning voloe
moaned "Give her steam! Give her
steam! Mind the links!" the mad peal
ing of the telegraph made his assistant
leap to the starting engine. The two
cut off scouts of the enemy were open
ing a heavy cannonading.
The dull grunting of guns and the
quickening thud of his engines the
senior, engineer did not hear. Cried
Naylen, on his knees beside him, "The
best man among us, and we never
knew it!"
The fighting ship went bravely into
action, but the man of the merchant
marine would never again give ear.
Scotland's Old Capital.
For a number of generations Pertfr,
and not Edinburgh, was the capital of
Scotland.
