Shirley was superintending the an nual charity bazaar and putting her whole incautious, magnanimous soul Into the task, but that was Shirley every time. And she had what she termed a “perfectly, splendidly unique" idea for this particular bazaar. As soon as she thought of it she called up each of the other girls on the committee by telephone to tell them about it. “Perfectly Impossible,’’ one said. “Too much work,” complained another. “Fine,” agreed n third, “and just like you, Shirley. Rut you’ll’ have to put It through yourself. All the rest of us have more than we can do now.” And so. a bit chagrined, but quite undaunted, Shirley proceeded “to put it through.” She had just executed her first victorious stroke when she came face to face with Philip Evans that Is. their machines met before a smart sporting goods establishment. “You look ns fresli as a morning glory, Shirley,” was Philip’s greeting as ho sprang from his car and helped Shirley from hers. “How do you do It—with a whole charity bazaar on your hands?'’ “Just come in her with me a min ute, Philip, and I'll show you.” Shirley answered, laughing. Once inside ihe shop, Shirley asked for the proprietor. No one else would do, she said. When that pompous gentleman saw who It was demanding his exclusive personal attention his expression of annoyance underwent an Instantaneous metamorphosis. To Philip’s intense amusement he fairly beamed upon Shirley. But, then,

“i’ve ai.rf.ady boi'oiit this one.” every one i)eamod upon Shirley, for that matter, and Shirley beamed upon every one in return, or possibly it was just the other way round. “You see, Mr. Brown, we’re going to have a charity bazaar," she began, smiling so captivatiugly as she did so that her victim quite overlooked the fatality of the announcement. “And you have such perfectly charming and unusual things here that 1 knew you would be delighted to give us just one or two small articles to help us out " Mr. Brown managed to tuck an acquiescent smile in edgewise its Shirley. seating herself In a reclining bamboo porch chair, announced: “Yes, we'd like tills. I’m sure. It's delightfully comfortable. And, oh, that lovely tan Gloucester hammock! We must have that. Come over here and try It with me, Philip.” Philip obeyed without a moment’s hesitation, although conscious that the eyes of several spruce young clerks were watching himself and Shirley as they sat like two children swinging side by side. “And that will be all, Mr. Brown,” Shirley announced munificently, jumping out on tli • fly, as It were, “just that chair and this hammock. You see. I’ve let you off very easy. I can't tell you exactly what we want them for. That's a secret, but It will be a splendid advertisement, and if they aren’t sold, why, we'll send them back to you.” Mr. Brown, with many smiles and a sweeping bow. acknowledged himself pleased and honored to he of service. “And I haven't asked you to buy a single liikct, Mr. Brown,” Shirley re minded him generously. Mr. Brown immediately put Ids hand into his pocket. “No. thank you just ns much,” declined Shirley prettily; “but, you see, Mrs. Brown bought half a dozen yes terday.” “Shirley,” Philip remonstrated soberly when they wore on the side walk, “haven't you any conscience whatever?” But at Shirley’s expre> slon of absolute incomprehension Phi' Ip burst out laughing. “What are you going to do with the things anyway'-” he asked, helping her Into her nut" mobile “That's my surprise," Shirley answered. “Yob’ll see when you come to the bazaar. By the waj hr.w many tickets do you want?” Philip opened his billfold and slow ly drew out six. “Won't these be sutl'e lent to let me In?” he asked teaslngiy. “Where did you get them. Philip?" flashed Shirley. “Oh, from two or three Irresistible sources," he answered indifferently. “Well, here are six more," Shirley
announced defiantly. “I saved them on purpose for y.ai, Philip, so you’ll have to take them. Now, you mustn't detain me a minute longer. I’ve got loads of other places to go to. See you at the bazaar." “But 1 can’t call before”— began Philip, abruptly tearing in two several small pieces of blue cardboard. “No, you can’t." Interrupted Shirley, laughing. "I’m too busy. If you need any more tickets, Philip, let me know. Goodby." The bazaar opened with a blaze of social glory am. continued Us triumphant career for one entire week. The center of attraction was “Shirley Burnett’s little portable house,” ns it came to he called before the bazaar was half over. There it stood at one end of the long hall. Immaculate and dainty In Its coat of white and yellow, defying any one to find fault with it and inviting every one to come Infer the small price of 5 cents. Every one wanted to go in and remain to exclaim over Us cozlness. Not a corner of It was left unexplored, from the little living room with its artistic wicker furnishings to the diminutive kitchen with its miniature cook stove and shining rows of brand new pans and kettles. And nearly every one lingered long enough to have tea, which Shirley served out on the porch with just as gracious hospitality as If she weren't charging the exorbitant sum of 15 cents a cup for it. The little portable house proved a most paying proposition. And when the very last night of the bazaar it was put up at auction there were spirited bidding and much excitement. "Four hundred and ninety dollars— four hundred and ninety dollars," called the auctioneeer impressively, “for this beautiful liltle house with all Us furnishings complete. Come, gentlemen. Some one make it five hundred. Going, going- five hundred, do I hear? Thank you. sir. Gone at five hundred to the gentleman over there on my mht. Will he please stop forward and give his name?” Shirley, who h.-id been watching Ihe scene from a window of the living room, suddenly disappeared as the crowd parted to give (be purchaser right of way. A few minutes later Philip Evans found her sitting on the kitchen table making pathrlie liltle dabs at si pioiously red eyes. "AYli; Shirley Burnett!" lie exclaimed. "Witai's Hie matter? You ought to be the proudest girl in the world.” "Well. I’m tml.” Shirley answered disconsolately 'Tin tin' most miserable. I can’t bear to think of any one else having lids liti!" house. I want it myself. 1 just love it. Don’t you think the porch Is the cutest thing you ever saw, Philip? Can’t you just imagine sitting Put on it away off somewhere in the moonlight?” Philip nodded. Somehow he couldn’t trust himself to speak. “And the dear little living room— Isn’t It tlie hudgiest little room you ever saw, Philip?" Philip wasn’t quite sure what “budglest” meant, hut lie nodded again. “And as for Hits little toy kitchen,” Shirley ended dramatically, patting a nearby saucepan affectionately, “I adore everything in it! Don’t you, Philip?” “Everything,” answered Philip solemnly, "and you. sweetheart, most of all. Oh, Shirley, can’t you say the sanio?" For a moment Shirley looked at him as if dozed. Then, her eyes sparkling with happiness aud her cheeks growing rosier and rosier, she said softly and slowly, "I adore everyl hing in this little kitchen, and you, sweetheart, most of all.” “Y’ou’re quite sure, dearest,” Philip questioned a few minutes later as, at Shirley’s request, he held up the little kitchen mirror while she rearranged her much rumpled hair, “that you love me just as much as you love the little house?” “It’s your deadliest rival, Philip," she answered playfully, "but just to prove to you that it won’t count any more I — I’ll congratulate whoever bought it. There. I couldn't say more. Who Is he?" “You don't know?" gasped Philip, unable to believe bis ears. “I don't want to see t be monster." explained Shirley. “Just as soon ns I heard that fatal word “Gone!” I ran out here, where you found me. Philip,” siie broke off excitedly, “I have the grandest Inspiration! Let you and rao get another house just like this and spend our honeymoon In It. I think I could get one quite cheap for you.” “But, you see," confided Philip meekly. “Pro already bought this one.” “Why, Philip Evans!” exclaimed Shirley, bugging liltn hard. ”1 don’t believe It. Aren’t you a love?”

Off Rio de Janeiro a dozen or more sailors were lolling on the forecastle. It was a still, clear night, and the full moon made all nearly ns light as day. “I seen more light one night,” said one with rings Id his ears. “Oh, come. Philosopher Jack. Is this a starter for one o’ your spooky
yarns?”
“There’s some as knows so much," the philosopher retorted contemptuously, “as y* can’t tell ’em nothin’. What’s this yere earth a-hangtn’ to? Can y’ tell me that?" There was a silence, denoting that the question was above the audience. Philosopher Jack continued: “I'll spin y’ a yarn as is a yarn, an’ If y’ can explain It when I git through I’ll turn y’ over my grog an’ duff for the rest o' the cruise. Y’ don’t know what the earth’s bangin’ on to, an’ y’ don’t know what becomes of us when
we 'go aloft’
“The eap'n o’ the Clara Keep was the worst tyrant that ever walked a quarter deck. We was In Bering sea for seals an’ not gettln’ any. This made the eap'n wo’se'n ever. He did nothin’ but cuss us from sunup till sunset an' durin' the night, too, when be was on deck. There was one o’ the men, Tom Blake, the eap’n seemed to hate wo’se'n the rest o’ us, a lean, corpse-like lookin’ feller with great big eyes that stared like the blinkers o’ a dead man. We couldn’t make out whether the eap’n hated Tom wo’se or was afraid o’ him wo'se. Leastaways, Tom would look at the eap'n out o’ them great eyes o' hisn. an' the eap'n would git iuto a passion with him at oncet. But I always noticed that he trembled in bis rage. “One day the eap’n ordered Tom to go aloft. The mercury stood 20 degrees below zero, the ship was a-rollin’, and the spray was makin’ Ice high upon the ratlines, even on to
the spars.
