Three days had passed since our ad venture in Don Miguel's house, and as I had I 11 no more about the broken crucible I began to hope that if there had been a storm it had blown over But on the fourth morning, after breakfast, my father told me to follow hiin Into his study, and I guessed that an uncomfortable half hour was in store for me. 1 was not wrong. "John." said my father, "what were you doing at Don Miguel's house three nights ago?" "I went to see Inez." I replied, trem bling, but defiant. "Do you often go?" "Yes. father." "Why?" He was looking at me so gravely, and he spoke so quietly. I knew he was very angry. I thought, however, that the boldest course was the best, so I spoke the ptaiu truth "Because Inez is my sweetheart." "Your sweetheart? H'ml" and he stared at me harder than ever "Yes. father." I said twirling mj tap ni my n? i vousiy, "and —and I want to ni:i 11 y ir ." "Oh. is that so? I. >v old are you?" "I'm in my ciK-iiruth year." "Quite tri:< m ,: ' if-" - - Your state ment*, a.' e : > n'.iiv rtliable, John. It Is your hi • : >■ I point. But 1 may re mind : if i ; ••• ii.ue that you celel.luted nir > ; • '!". i birtiiday just a in.ni'.h Yoa'd forgotten thai for tiie moment!" "No. faiher." "No? Well, just for the sake of argu ment we will say you are 18. Rather young to marry, isn't it?" "Yes. father." I ausw. "Ed, "but"— "Never mind the 'but,' John. You are 100 young to marry, and that's one point against you. llow do you pro pose to support a wife? Pardon my asking; it's a very pertinent question." "1 thought perhaps that you"— "Well, out with it. John. You thought perhaps that I" "That yoa would set me up in some business." "Good! 1 was afraid that you were going to 'suggest that I might share my income with you, hut I'm glad to find that I misjudged you. Let me see. What sort of business should you prefer? A fisherman's? You shake your head. A poacher? No? Well, I'm afraid 1 can't think of anything else for which you are suited. It is very sad. but really I don't think you can support a wife at present. Point number two. John!" "But, father"— "Wait a minute. 1 have two more points to urge yet. and then you can have your say. I'oint number three— the lady is a foreigner. Point number four—l have other views for you. Now let me hear what you have to urge on your side." "1 love Inez." "Ah! And"— "She loves me." "And"— "Nothing else." "Well. John, they are both, no doubt, very cogent reasons. 1 shouldn't ad vise you to trust too much to the sec ond. by the way. but 1 am afraid they are not sufficient. Now, sir. listen to me. You are nn idle, good for nothing scamp, and from <■■ -ry side I hear nothing but bad reports of you. You ami your companion in mischief, Alex ander Ireland, are a disgrace to the town. Don .Miguel tells me that you utterly ruined an experiment of his which had taken months of constant work and had cost him a large sum of money. He had just brought it to a successful conclusion when you caused him to spill his precious liquid on the floor, and he demands that 1 shall make good the damage. What do you say to that?" "That you won't do it," 1 answered, for I knew my father. "Well, no. I don't consider that he was engaged on lawful work, so 1 shall refuse to pay. But that is not the point. Your conduct is simply dis graceful, and I have resolved to put a stop to it. 1 have obtained a sizarship for you at Clare Hall, Cambridge, and you shall start off there in two days." "But I want to go to sea," I cried. "I choose that you shall not." "Am I to be a parson, then ?" "Certainly. Have you any objec tion ?" "1 hate the work!" 1 said sullenly. "Oh, that's unfortunate, but I'm afraid 4 can't alter my decision. Now go and remember I forbid you to speak to Don Miguel's daughter." "But, father"— "This discussion is at an end." Thus it happened that two days aft er the conversation with my father I was on my way to Cambridge, con demned to fit myself by hard study for the calling of a parson. My father was inexorable. The life, he said, had proved a congenial one to my ten brothers and must, therefore, be the best for me too. I combated *Mhut I want to go to tea," I cried. the theory vigorously, but without pro ducing any effect ou his uiinil, so I had to submit and go. My father bought me a rough little galloway and having escorted me to the town boundaries and seen me fair ly started on the road to York gave me a paternal blessing and a not too heavy purse and then turned back home. It was the last time I saw him, for when years afterward 1 returned to Whitby he was dead. lie was a good father to me, though in those days 1 used uot to think so. But he lived by rule himself, and so he would have had the rest of us do the same, and from that effort on his, part arose what ever there \va% of trouble among us From what I have seen in the case of other families I should imagine that we Vieve not in this veswt w-' It was with a heavy heart thumping beneath my jacket that I rode slowly along the queen's highway. I was separated from my sworn shipmate; 1 was going to a life that in the pros pect I loathed, and I had not been al lowed to see my sweetheart even to say goodby; sufficient reasons, all of them, for gloomy thoughts. My meditations, however, received a somewhat rude interruption. I had let the reins fall on my horse's neck, and he was jogcring along quietly with very little guidance from me, vben the sound of something moving in the hedge at the side of the road made him swerve violently to the other side and start suddenly forward. I was taken unprepared, and, being an un skillful horseman at the best of times, was deposited with more violence than grace on my back in the middle of the road. I lay there for a few seconds dazed with the shaking, and when I got up and looked about me to see what had caused my uncomfortably rapid dismount, there was Alec stand ing looking at ine, with his face all twisted up in the effort to look con cerned, when as a matter of fact he was shaking with laughter at my un digaifiod maneuver. ""Hurt. Jack?" he asked at length, with exaggerated solemnity. "No." 1 answered shortly. "Was it you who frightened my horse?" "1 suppose no. but as you're not hurt it does uot matter." "Doesn't It? It only means that I shall have a pretty chase before 1 catch hi 111 again. That's uothiag. is it?" "'Willie lias caught him." said Alec. "Willie Ti'elialion here too?" "Yes. Oh. Jack, you did look ridicu lous. To see your bij;. lumbering car cass roll over the horse's tail was a sight for little fishes. Don't be angry, but 1 can't help laughing." •"Oh. pray go on." 1 answered loftily and turned to take my horse from Wil lie Trehalion. who had come up while we were talking. When 1 saw that his face, too, wore a comically deprecating look of amuse ment. I was just beginning to lose my temper with them both, when the thought of the ludicrous figure 1 must have presented struck me forcibly. My anger suddenly melted, and I laughed as heartily as either of them. "Come. Master Topp," said Willie when we found our breath again; "bet ter to laugh even if the joke's ag'in yourself than to wear that glum face you were carrying before we came an upset your gravity. You might have been attending your own funeral by the look o' you." "Did you give Inez my message?" 1 asked, turning to Alec. "Yes. and very nev-ly fell foul of the Spaniard in doing It." "What did she say?" "She cried." "But the message. Didn't she send me a message?" I asked impatiently. "No." said Alec innocently. "Did you expect one?" And then, seeing my look of disappointment, he added quickly: "There, Jack, I won't tease you longer. She didn't send a mes sage, but she did better; she gave me a letter for you." Now. I don't intend to tell what was in that letter. It was the first one 1 ever received from my sweetheart, and it kept me happy for the rest of the Journey. Need I say more? They waited patiently till I had fin ished reading, and then Alec asked me what my plans were. "Cambridge, I suppose." I answered ruefully. "Parson?" he asked, with a mis- chievous grin. "So my father says." "Are you quite resigned to your fate?" "Resigned!" 1 cried impetuously. "No, but now that I'm separated from Inez and you 1 don't much care." "I am your sworn shipmate. Jack. Don't forget that." "I don't forget it. Alec," 1 said, tak ing his baud. "Pardon me; I think you do." "How?" "You say that we shall be sepa rated." "Well, so we shall. Cambridge and Whitby are surely far enough apart." "I'm coming with you." "Alec! Do you mean it?" I cried in delight. "Never desart a sworn shipmate, Master Topp," put in Willie Trelialion sententiously. "Yes. I'm coming," said Alec, "but 1 don't mean to turu parson for all that." "Wish 1 needn't," I grumbled. "Why need you?" "Father's commands. What else takes me to Cambridge?" "Why go to Cambridge at all? 1 don't mean to." "What?" 1 cried. "I thought you said you were coming with me." "So 1 am, but not to Cambridge." "Where, then?" "London." "To London! What for? 1 don't un derstand you. Alec." "London is a port." "Well?" "Ports contain ships. Ships go to sea. We go to sea. It's simple enough. Why, Jack, you don't mean to say you are willing to give up our plan of a sea faring life without a struggle." "No," I said, "but I hadn't thought of running away to sea." "Why not? You'll never go in any other way if your father is set on put ting you into the church. Now is the time to take our fortunes into our own hands." "But, Alec"— "Will J*ou do it?" I thought for a moment before I an swered. A vision of the dull round of books and lectures that was waiting for me at Cambridge rose before my eyes. 1 had just succeeded in throw ing off the bondage of one schoolmas ter, and it seemed to me that I was on my way to put myself into the power of seven others worse than the first. That thought decided me. "Yes," 1 said, "1 will go with you." Now, during this discussion 'Willie Trehalion had been darting question ing glances at us out of his solitary eye and rubbing his fur cap reflectively backward and forward on his bald pate with his hook, a habit he had when anything exercised his mind. Now he spoke. "Masters." be said, shaking his head vigorously, "it won't do. 'Tis ten thou- I sand shames that a lad like you, I Master Topp. should be mad? a parson I in never wear iron except 'o cut his I uicat with, but don't go ag"in your fa- ther, lad. No good ever came o'
