She said nothing, taking her seat in the elec- tric tram beside him as if resigned to something unpleasant. He peeped at her cnce, then with a loud sigh settled down to a window-gazing ride. So they rolled along, beside the Bay, through a suburb noted for its serene loveliness. It ought to have thawed her. Then abruptly the car slowed down and stopped, progress made im- possible by the jater fringe of a crowd that whooped, roared, and cursed. Drake stood up. Over the outer heads he saw the milling centre of bv CAPTAIN AEDINGLE BEGIN HERE TODAY Alden Drake, frmerly a sailor, grown soft and flaby. through a life of idle ease, ships aboard the clipper Or- «ntes as "boy," under ths command of Jake Stevens, whose enmity he incurs because of a mutual love "or Mary Manning, daughter of the owner, who is a passenger on the Urontes. At Cape Town Stevens is superseded as captain of che Orontes by Drake, whose lawyers have purchased the vessel during its cruise. Drake and Mary are enjoying an evening to- gether in Cape Town, while the de- moted Stevens is making the rounds of the barrooms. Drunk and furious, Stevens calls Drake away from Mary in order to fight with iim. Stevens is whipped, and now Drake goes back to Mary. NOW GO ON WITH .dF STORY When Drake returned to Mary, she stood up with a cry of dismay. He hal becn gone about twenty minutes. Now he cam2 hack to her smiling, Lright eyed, but with a three-inch strip of plaster down one cheek, and a lumpy bruise as big as a purple vassion fruit on the other temple. His hands, too, looked as if he had been breaking bricks with his fists for a wager. Her big blue eyes wid- ened. . "Don't look like that, Mary!" he laughed; pressing her into her chair gently. "I'm not aurt. Littie acci- dent, that's all. Let's see, we were chatting abou: how we were to furnish the boudoir--"" "Do stop your jesting!" she cried. "We vere talking of no such thing! I won't hear a word until you have told me what has happen:d. Was it--?" Her eyes darkened, and she frowned as the tru'k, or possible truth, dawned upon her. He broke in, grinning: ; "It was, Mary. Jake Stevens. They prevented him coming here io see you, so he tipped a waiter to bring me, then tried to jamb me under a rhododen- dron." "It locks as if he succeeded!" she retorted sharply. "Let us go, now, be- fore somebody else tries. You look horrible." " A tiny chill fell over Drake. Mary wanted to go buck to the ship, and her baffled escort led her io the car in silence, "It has been a bully evening, any- Thue knowing hostess takes advantage of every oppor- tunity to give individuality to her table.

But Drake had caught sigkt of a head he knew, two heads, in the very vortex of the mob, and those two heads were get- ting hammered by far too many fists and sticks for fair play. 3 "Excuse me for a moment," he mur- mured as he stepped past Mary. "Go on to the boat. Don't worry. I've got to see Stevens safe." He leaped as the car started, and fought his way into the mob. It was something of a fight, too. Halfway through he wrench-c. a heavy stick from a swearing ruffian and prodded his wap with it, using it like a spear. It was very efficieit. Then in the middle he fouad Jake Stevens, hor- pn rr _bc VERE St SR a "Aye, Orontes! Give 'em hell!" bab- bled the red, swaying figure and Jake Stevens rallied for another onslaught. Drake saved hiz breath for fighting. His miner friend tottered and gasped. But through the crowd stormed the tram driver and conductor, with con- troller and switch bar; and.with them marched Mary Manning, splendid daughter of old Neptune, smacking faces right and left and turning mur- derous scowls to foolish grins. "What's the trouble?" demanded a policeman running up, looking queer- ly into the bruised and bleedirg faces, and at Mary. : "Gang setting about these two blokes. This gent and we stopped off my car to help the under dog," re- plied the motorman, "He's my first mate," explained Drake. "I'm Captain Drake of the ship Orontes lying in Table Bay. We're all right, thanks. If we could get an automobiie, I'd be glad." "I'll send one alonz sir," said the officer, and went off with his men. Drake glanced at Mary. She was all soft womanliness now, examining hurts, her eyes big and dark, "I'm afraid neither Mr. Stevens nor I could be called respectable now," 5 said Drake with a grimace. The. friendly miner grinned as Mary fin-' ished cleaning a cut on his chin "I don't care what you are or what' you look like. I think you are both 1 "ORONTES! ORONTES!" ribly cut and bruised, trying blindly, but with splendid brute courage to stand off 'he attack of half a dozen murderous sticks. Right with him the affluent miner attled gloriously; bleed- ing and muddy, but with the light of sheer fighting lust in his face. "Orontes! Oruntes!" yelled Drake, ringingly, and faid about him heartily with his stick. "Get a stich, Jake! Get a club!" ' "I don't want no club!" gasped Stevens, blindly. staggering ever for- ward. He went to his knees as Drake reached him. A word of recognition, then Drake and the miner stood over Jake and fougat for their own lives and his. Whatever the cause, the crowd were apparently looking for blood. The miner wus battered fear- fully; but he had a grin for Drake. A whizzing stick tore the plaster from Drake's cheek, and he started bleeding as if his head was split. "They're trying to murd:r us!" he panted. "What's it all about?" "Started with just tall talk," gasped the miner, poking his stick into = leering face and bringing a tooth bazk with it. "Jake challenged all hands, and some toughs followed him out. That's one of 'em now!" ) He darted fo 'ward and struck down a tough looking fellow just as he was putting the boots to Stevens as he lay prostrate. Dralie had little time to look around. Sticks seemed as thick as rushes in 'a bask2t. Bit he saw where the heart of the fight was. The rest was simply gang sympathy. "Come on," he sai to the valiant miner. "Let's finish those three husk- ies, and the est will run! Alto- gether!" Together they charged across Jake's body, their sticks going 'ike flails. One man went down, only to rise up and trip Drake headlong. Sticks whacked down upon him as he lay defenceless. His arms felt as if they were broken in a dozen places; his head rang as if hammered with iron. With that vital impulse which drives a man on even after conscious volition fails he stum- bled to his feet, guarling his head with one arm, and stabbing fiercely at a blur before him with his short-gripped club. Vaguely he knew somebody fought beside him; knew the blur be- under his feet, and he fought to keep his Lalance. : "Orontes! Orontes!" That cry sounded strange. It was near, yet seemed far off. Drake fought doggedly. There was that stirring under his feet. He knew he wes to be tripped again. He could not see the man who still fough' beside him. Something red and swaying rose from the ground, and another stick flailed, tut at his foes now. "Orontes! Orontes!" the cry was close. The blur of foes began to van- ish like mist.

Swift as a swallow she seem- ed to dart forward, and dabbled a kiss right between the miner's eyes as the car drove up. She was blushing fur- iously as she ran into the auto. The miner stared, grinned, and stood rob- bed of speech. : | : - CHAPTER XV. A PRESENT FROM MARY. The few days required for discharg- ing cargo in Cape Town flew on magic pinions. Drake rode high upon the tide of triumph, showing Mary the sights, finding new charms in her every hour, once she elected to meet him on common ground. And Jake Stevens seemed to accept the new situation quite meekly.
