"That is why 1 am retaining tne papers. If I can see Mr. Elberry today, we may let you have a check tomorrow. Try another pinch. No? Well, goodby. I am very happy to have been of service." Mr. McAdam bowed them out. for he was a very busy man, and they found themselves in the street once more with lighter hearts than when they had left it. "Well. Westmacott, 1 am pure I am very much obliged to you," said the admiral. "You have stood by me when I was the better for a little help, for I'm clean out of my soundings among these city sharks. But I've something to do

now which is more in my own line, and I need not trouble you any more." "Oh, it is no trouble. I have nothing to do. I never have anything to do. I

should be 0.-lighted to come with you, sir, if I can lie of any use." "No. no. my lad. You go home again. It would bo kind of you. though, if you would look in at No. 1 when you get back and tell ray wife that all's well with me and that I'll bo bade in an hour or so." "All right, sir: I'll tell her." Westmacott raised Lis hat and strode away to tho westward. while the admiral, after a hurried lunch, bent his su ps toward the east.

It was a l"hg walk, but the old seaman swung along at a rousing pace, leaving .street afu-r street behind him. The great business palaces dwindled down into commonplace shops and dwellings, which decreased and became more stunted, even as the folic who filled them did, until he was deep in the evil places of the eastern end. It was a land of huge, dark houses and of garish gin shojis, a led. too, where life moves irregularly and where adventures are to be gained—as the admiral was to learn to his cost.

He was hurr\ down one of the long, narrow n.g^/'1 lanes between the doubk ?.i .p.s c, 'ucning, disheveled women and of dirty elm en who sat on the hollowed ste of the houses and basked the :.mr. sun. At one side was a barrowman w. .j load of walnuts, and beside the barrow a bedraggled woman with a black fringe and a

step f.-.rwiird wiih njJilted hand, but iu •an in.-taut down ..-.uno cut No. 1 upon his wrist ai.u cut No. 2 across his 1higii and cut No. I! full in tho center of his rabbit s'.un cap. It was not a. heavy siita:. but it was strong enough 1o leave a good red weal wherever it fell. Tho rough yelled with pain and rushed in. hitting with both hands and kicking wit!', hi-- iron shod boots, but tho admiral had s'r.ll a quick foot and a true eye, so that h" bounded backward and sideways, sti.l raining a shower of blows upon his savage antagonist. Suddenly, however, a pair of arms closed round his neck, and glancing backward he caught a glimpse ol tho biaclc, coarse fringe of the woman whom ho had beJriended. "I've got him'" sha shrieked. "I'll 'old *iiJi! Nuw, 1 Jill, knock the tripe out of him!"

Her grip was as strong as a man's, and her wrist pressed hko an iron -bar upon the admiral's throat. Jle made a desperate eil'ort to disengage himself, but tho most that lie could do was to swing her around so as to place her between his adversary and himself. As it proved it was the very best tiling that he could havo done. The rough, half blinded and maddened by the blows which he had received, struck out with all his ungainly strength just as his partner's head swung around in front of him.

There was a noiso like that of a stone hitting a wall, a deep irroan. her prrasn

checkered shawl thrown over her head. She was cracking walnuts and picking them out of the shells, throwing out a remark occasionally to a rough man in a rabbit skin cap, with straps under the knees of his corduroy trousers, who stood puffing a black clay pipe with his back against the wall. What the cause of the quarrel was or what sharp sarcasm from the woman's lips pricked suddenly through that thick skin may never be known, but suddenly the man took his pipe in his left hand, leaned forward and deliberately struck her across the face with his right. It was a slap rather I than a blow, but the woman gave a sharp cry and cowered up against the barrow with her hand to her cheek. "You infernal villain!" cried the admiral, raising his stick. "You brute and I blackguard!''

xvia.M'c., ami sue uruj.'poa a tieau weignc upon the pavement, while the admiral

sprang back and raised his stick once more, ready cither for attack or defense. Neither was needed, however, for at that moment there was a scattering of the crowd, and two police constables, I burly and helmeted, pushed their way through the rabble. At the sight of them the rough took to his heels and was instantly screened from view by a veil of his friends and neighbors. "I have been assaulted," panted the admiral. "This woman was attacked, and I had to defend her." "This is Bermondsey Sal," said one police officer, bending over the bedraggled heap of tattered shawl and dirty skirt. "She's got it hot this time." "He was a shortish man, thick, with a beard." I "Ah, that's Black Davie. He's been up four times for beating her. He's about done the job now. If I were you, I would let that sort settle their own little affairs, sir." "Do you think that a man who holds the queen's commission will stand by and see a woman truck:" cried the admiral indignantly. "Well, just as yt like. sir. But you've lost your watch, I ?oe." "My watch!" lie clapped his hand to

his waistcoat- The chain was hanging down in front, and the watch gone. He passed his hand over his forehead, "I would not have lost that watch for anything." said lie. "No money could replace it. It was given me by the ship's company after our African cruise. It has an inscription."

The policeman shrugged his shoulders, "It comes from meddling," said he. "What'li you give me if I tell yer where it is?" said a sharp faced boy among the crowd. Will you give me a quid':" "Certainly." "Well, whore's the quid?"

The admiral took a sovereign from 1 is pocket. "Here it is." "Then 'ere's the ticker!" Tho bov I pointed to the clinched hand of the senseless woman. A glimmer of gold shone out from between the fingers, and on opening them up there was the ad- I iniral's chronometer. This interesting victim had throttled her protector with one hand, while she had robbed him with the'other.

The admiral left his address with the policeman, satisfied himself that the woman was only stunned, not dead, and then set off upon his way once more, tho poorer perhaps in his faith in human I ^j^r^a'ce"

nature, but in very good spirits none the less. He walked with dilated nostrils and clinched hands, all glowing and tingling with the excitement of the combat, and warmed with the thought that he could still, when there was need, take his own part in a street brawl in spite of his threescore and odd years.

His way now led toward the riverside regions, and a cleansing whiff of tar was to be detected in the stagnant autumn air. Men with the blue,jersey and peaked cap of the boatman or the white duck of the dockers began to replace the cordu-

roys and fustian of the laborers. Shops with nautical instruments in the windows, rope and paint sellers and slop shops with long rows of oilskins dangling from hooks all proclaimed the neighborhood of the docks.

The admiral quickened his pace aud straightened his iigure as his surroundings became more nautical, until atlast, peeping he',

two high dingy wharfs,

ho caught a glimpse of tho mud colored waters of tho Thames and of the bristle of masts and funnels which rose from its broad liosoin. To tho right lay a quiet street, with many brass plates upon cither side ant! wire blinds on all of tho windows. The admiral walked slowly iown it until "The St. Lawrence Shinping Com]»anv*' caught his eye. Ho crossed the road, pushed open tno door] and found himself in a low ceilinged oflice, with a long counter at one end and a great number of wooden sections of ships stuck upon boards and plastered all over the walls. is Mr. Henry in'-" asked the admiral. "No. sir." answered an elderly man from a high seat in tho corner. "lie has not come into town today. I can manage any business yon may wish soon to." "You don't happen to havo a first or second .j'deer's place vacant, do your"

The manager looked with dubious eye at I his singular applicant. I "Do you hold certif icates':'"' ho asked. "I hold every nautical certificate there is." "Then you won't do for us." ""Why not':" I "Your a:,c, sir." "1 give you my word that I can seo as well its ever and am as good a man in every way." I "1 don't doubt it,." I "Why should my age be a. bar, then?" "Well, 1 must put it plainly. If a man of your ago, holding certificates, has not got past a second officer's berth, there must bo a black mark against him somewhere. I don't know what it is, drink I or temper or want of judgment, but something there must be." "I assure! you there is nothing, but I find myself stranded, and so have to turn to tho old business again." "Oh, that's it," said the manager, with suspicion in his eye. "How long were you in your last billot?" "Fifty-one years." "What!" "Yes, sir, one and fifty years." "In the same employ?"

j.t

"Why, you must have begun as a child." "I was 12 when I joi:i"cl." "It must be a strangely manr.god business," said the manager, "which allows men to leave it who havo served for 50 years, and who are still as good as ever. Who did you serve' "Tho queen, heaven bless her.""'"""'' "Uh. you were iu the roy What rating did you hold':" "I am adiijir.il of tho iio(

Tho manager start from his high stool. "My nain is Admiral Hay Denver. There is my card. And here arc the records of my service. I don't, you understand, want to push an}- other man from his biLet. but if you should chance to have a berth open I should be very glad of it. I know the navigation from the cod banks right up to Montreal a great deal better than I know the streets of London."

The astonished manager glanced over the blue papers which his visitor had handed him. "Won't you take a chair, admiral?" said he. "Thank you. But I should be obliged if you would drop my title now. I told you because you asked me, but I've left the quarter deck, and I am plain Mr. Hay Denver now." "May I ask," said the manager, "are you the same Denver who commanded at one time on the North American station':" "I did." "Then it was you who got one of our boats, the Comus, off the rocks in tho bay of Fundy? The directors Voted you iiOO guineas as salvage, and you refused them." "It was an offer which should not have been made," said the admiral sternly. "Well, it reflects credit upon you that you should think •so. If Mr. Ilenry were here, I am sure that he would arrange this matter for you at once. As it is, I shall lay it before the directors today, md I am sure that they will be proud tn have you in our employment and I hope in some more suitable position than that which you suggest." "I am very much obliged to you, sir," said the admiral and started off again, well pleased, upon his homeward journey.

CHAPTER XV.

STILL AMONG SIIOALS.

Next day brought the admiral a check for £5,000 from Mr. McAdam, and a stamped agreement by whi^h he made over his pension papers to the speculative investor. It was not until he had signed and sent it off that the full significance of all that he had done broke upon him. lie had sacrificed everything. His pension was gone. He had nothing save only what he could earn. Btit thestout old heart never quailed. Ho waited eagerly for a letter from the St. Lawrence Shipping company, and in the meanwhile he gave his landlord a quarter's notice. Hundred pound a j'ear houses would in future be a luxury which he could not asxiire to. A small lodging in some inexpensive part of London must be the substitute for his breezy Norwood villa. So be it then! Better that a thousandfold than that his name should be associated with failure and

On that morning Harold Denver was to meet the creditors of the firm and to explain the situation to them. It was a hateful task, a degrading task, but he set himself to do it with quiet resolution. At home trey waited in intense anxiety to learn the result of tho meeting. It was late before he returned, haggard and pale, like a man who has done and suffered much. "What's this board in front of the house:"' he asked. "Wo are giving to try a little change of scene," said the admiral. "This place is neither town nor country. But never mind that, boy. Tell us what happened in the city." "God help ine! JIv wretched business is driving you out ot house aud home!" I cricd Harold, broken down by this fresh evidence of tho effects of his misfor-
