Do not eat in a hurry or make a
noise chewing your food. Pigs do
both.
A girl in her teens with too many
and too costly clothes on her back,
gets self-conscious and vain, and
loves admiration—and you grown
ups know the next step. A simple,
pure-hearted girl, who has a place
in a home, home work and home
duties, has her heart there and no
boy can steal it. Even when ma
turity comes and a real man comes
and a real affair of her heart
* comes, will such a girl leave home
and then only after
11g. But the girl who is at home
oily at the table and in bed won't
love that home. Work makes
t lings sacred. The child whose
h ime memories are not haloed by
w ork, w. o is not needed and does
i >t feel the need, will not love I
l.une. And if she doesn't love the
f; me^of her childhood she will love
n i other. She will go anywhere
for anything. Home will mean
nothing to such a woman, and if
she is respectable she will only
la:k the opportunity to be a bad
woman and is good only through
ci oumstances or by the necessity
of an ugly face. She will curse
any man she marries.
livery time the closet of your
neighbor is opened a little do you
strain your neck to peek, and then
afterward strain your tongue in
talking about it? Do you ever
stop to think that some day a trag
edy may take up its abode in your
home? Can't you get it into your !
head that some day the tongue of !
slander may cut you like a sharp 1
swcrd and the whispers of your
neighbors be as vinegar on your
wounds? Misfortune and disgrace
may have overtaken your neighbor,
but it does not become you to get
on the housetops and shout it out
1 o tiie world. You will not be
ailed upon to pay for nor answer
fo any of the sins of your neigh
bor. You have all you can tend to
to pay for your own indiscretions.
Som a day one near and dear to you
may fall—the prison walls may
< pen to a son or the scarlet letter
i f iternity blight a daughter.
Whan a home is in mourning over
tragedy the best thing you can do
to keep your mouth shut unless
vcu can say something that
will come as a rift in the clouds.
Then again, you know you may be
no hotter than your neighbor. The
only difference is that your neigh- j
bor was caught and you, up-to
date. have kept the sunlight away.
Ee charitable, my friend, for you
know not the dry nor the hour
when .ho blight will appear in your
sacrtc circle.

main unknown, aboard.

consigned to the German government.
CHAPTER X—Hollis consents to take
H urge of ship and continue voyage. Vera
recognizes an old friend in Robert
P.ascoin, owner of the Indian Chief.
H scorn and McCann are deadly ene
mies.
. nor TER XI Dissatisfaction among
the crexv quickly develops, and Hollis
selects his officers.
CHAPTER XIV.
Vera Strengthens My Resolve.
I believed I had effectually spiked
the puns of the conspiracy—at least
for the present. I did not underesti
mate the feelinp of dissatisfaction for
ward, or the influence of Liverpool
Red and his more intimate associates;
but McCann and his money were, after
all, the main incentive to open mutiny,
and ns long ns I could keep that indi
vidual securely locked up aft, there
remained a good chance of controlling
the others.
Once we succeeded in discovering
the hidden store of liOAVr and getting
it overboard, and wftti McCann safely
secured, the danger element w'ould
rSflSHty fa1 gfeatly reduced. But was
McCann really secured? I could never
hope )° conceal the fellow, to keep
him hidden. The narrow confines of
the ship rendered this impossible.
Dade and the boy Moon would be cer
tain to carry the news of his imprison
ment forward in spite of any threat.
T began to suspeet*that McCann under
lock and key might indeed prove a
greater danger in the end than he
would if left free to roam the deck.
The knowledge lie now possessed that
this ship actually belonged to the very
man crippled by his pistol shot would
only serve to render the fellow more
“Is This Mr. Hollis?”
venomous. Nor couliJ I determine Ids
teelings toward Vera; yet if he onee
gained ascendancy on board, with such
ruffians as Liverpool and White in
control, tiie position of the helpless
girl, alone and unprotected, would lie
desperate indeed. No: I would hold
on to the man and then rough it out
with the others
The cabin lamp was turned so low
that scarcely the faintest reflection
stn emed through the glass of the com
panion, and I was so deeply engrossed
in these reflections as to not even no
tice tiie opening of the floor. Her voice
at my side aroused me with a sudden
thrill.
“Is this Mr. Hollis?”
“It certainly Is,” I answered, aware
now of tiie dark outline beside me,
and even dimly distinguishing the con
tour of her uplifted face. “It is some
time since 1 have enjoyed tin* pleasure
of your presence on deck in tiie night."
"Why refer to that now?” reproach
fully. “It is not so delightful a mem
pry.”
' “The shipwreck—no; hut the first
evening we met I cannot forget. But
you promised ip make t]ye mystery of
! ybur”presence . *da
clear?”
“lias it not revealed itself?”
“Not to me."
“But has not Philip Baseom told you
who I am?”
I shook my head, not altogether
happy at this introduction of his nr me,
but unable to resent it.
“But you knew he recognized me;
that we had been friends.”
“All the more reason why I should
remain silent. As long as you evident
ly preferred that I should not know—”
“Oil, but I didn't, Mr. Hollis,” she
Interrupted. “It never once occurred
to me that you were still in doubt us
to my identity. Of course at first I
thought it safer to guard my secret;
I—I did not know you at all then, only
by name; you were merely a guest on
hoard my father’s yacht.”
“Your father's yacht! Why, of
course—how stupid of me. Vera, Vera,
wliy the name had a strangely familiar
sound from the very first, but 1 could
not recall the association; you are
Gerald Carrington’s daughter?”
“I am Vera Carrington.”
"But I supposed you to be in Eu
rope?”
“Did papa say so? You must have
misunderstood. Mother would have
taken me with her, hut I had so much
1 wanted to do in New York, it is
strange you should not have suspect
ed ; that no one should have told you.
Why, both Mr. Buscom and Mr. Mc
Cann knew me.”
“Not McCann, surely?”
“Why not? We have met socially
in New York. It seems hardly pos
sible, now that I realize the true char
acter of the man. But probably you
never asked; never discussed me be
tween you?”
“That is the truth. Of course-it was
quite impossible for ine to question
MeCann, and I have seen very little of
Bascom. Besides, you rather throw
yourself on my honor.”
“On the Esmeralda—yes. It was nec
essary then, for I simply had to keep
my presence a secret until we were
a safe distance at sea. There were
several on hoard who would have rec
ognized me at once, and would have
told papa. Mr. Hollis, I realize far
more than you can, all that has oc
curred through the mad whim of a girl.
But for me you would not be here on
this unlucky ship. You would be with
those others rescued from the Esme
ralda safely in New York. Mr. Ilollis,
tell me, is there real trouble on b<*ard?
Is there doubt of your being able to
take the Indian Chief into port?”
“Why do you ask?"
“Because—well, I have heard things;
not much, but enough to arouse suspi
cion. Then you had some* trouble Just
now, and locked a man up in one of
the staterooms. It was to ask you
about this that I came on deck. Who
was the man, and what had he done?"
“Our old friend, Fergus McCann,” I
answered, deciding to be frank with
her. “It was not so much what he had
done, as what he proposed doing. He
was attempting to corrupt the crew
forward by the use of money, and un
fortunately. there are some scamps
aboard only too willing to make
trouble. I felt it safer to nip the
scheme early."
“But what—what does Mr. McCann
seek? Why should he endeavor to buy
up the men? What is his purpose?”
“To have the Indian Chief returned
to an American port. I'll do him the
credit of saying that, until I told
him a while ago, he possessed no
knowledge whatever that Bascom
owned the vessel, or was on board. He
hates Bascom yet, and will lx* only too
glad to ruin him. And he hates me,
because of w hat .occurred in’ the boat.
This is what underlies his action, no
doubt; then he believes money will ac
complish anything, and he has found
sailormen forward ready enough to do
the dirty work, if he will only pay well
for it.”
“You know them?”
“The two most prominent are Jim
White and a fellow known aboard as
Liverpool Red, both typical forecastle
bullies. I know how to deal with their
sort.”
“You—you have decided what to do,
then?"
“I have decided to fight it out, at
least. I gave you my promise, Miss
Vera, to take this ship to Hamburg if
if was possible to get there.”
“And there is no other way of saving
the Investment in this vessel and
cargo?”
“I know of none.”
“Then we must go on. must we not?
I—I hope you will, Captain Hollis.”
Before I could stop her, or add an
o'ther word, she was gone, and 1 was
apparently alone on (leek.
