CHAPTER IV
HE Willlam Brown with all sail

sea. Taylor, lounging forward, saw

Dragon playing softly for a flaxen-
haired youth to dance a folk-dance

denly he had the strength of mad-
ness. “Awfff,” cried the farmer. His
arm yielded, his knuckles rapped
on the table. He dashed down his
head in shame ... Now the match
was out, Edding was more feeble
than ever.
Powdah, lurking on the fringes of
the crowd, closed his fingers on the
round arm of Babsie the maid.
“My little sea-anemone, that is
nothing.” he boasted. “Now as for
me, | can kill ten men before break-
fast to get up an appetite.”
“Drop my arm. Miss Margaret says
you are not a fit companion for me,”
Babsie faltered.
“Miss Margaret again. Is sha so
rich as they say. this Margaret?
These jewels you were speaking of
.. Where does she keep them?”
“Under the transom in her cabin.

sister,” Tarryton cried, coming from
behind, infuriated.
“But Stanley, he was only—" A
hiceup cut her short.
“Yes, 1 was only—" Taylor's hic.
cup was a master-piece.
“You were only—” Tarryton’s dia-
phragm buckled worst of all.
His sister’s peal of laughter was
cut short by anotker hiccup. “He
was only curing me of sea-sickness.”
“The dance is a cure for hiccups,”
Taylor proposed.
“Well, then, one dance ... Stanley,
1 must show my gratitude. One
dance, Mr. Taylor, but you must not
say anything.”
They danced, close-pressed, and
he said nothing. The music stopped.
Shadowed, they clung together and
said nothing. But his eyes tantalized
her. Then he said, “If I could get a
toe-hold on the moon, I would bring
gent from India. Why do you ask?”

A y
youth’s mother, Mrs. Martin, sat
knitting, with now a smile for her
son, and now an amused glance at
old Schmidt the toy-maker, who
wound up a woolly lamb and placed
it on the deck. The lamb took a stiff
step or two, and fell over with a
little “Ba-a-a-a.” Schmidt's little
daughter Tina seized it to her heart.
, “He haf not got sea-legs yet. He
iss only half made,” Schmidt
chuckled.
© “Like our destinies,” the Rever-
ond Clark said a little sadly.
The Reverend was not alone in
thinking that his destiny hung by a
brittle thread. Stanley Tarryton
eame and plucked Taylor's arm.
“I have the honor to ask you again
for the schedules I gave you.
“The schedules. But 1 swore to
ou not to part with them to any-
ne,” Taylor said blithely.
| “You are quibbling, sir.”
{ “I was never more serious. Re-
member, the firm is still Taylor and
Tarryton.”
“The firm is dissolved,” Tarryton
grated in a fury.
“Then the papers remain with the
senior partner,” Taylor said lightly,
and turned his back on Tarryton.
A thick voice cried pridefully,
*Who can touch my knuckles to this
bench?”
A Yorkshire farmer, squatted on
one side of the bench, challenged all
comers to the farmer’s hand-grip.
A hulking sailor tried and failed.
Crash. His knuckles split on the oak.
Next?
“You try it, Mr. Edding,” little
Tina Schmidt coaxed.
The tall thin man wrapped in
shawls protested feebly; but the
good-natured crowd thrust him for-
ward. Hesitating, mild, he closed
‘bony fingers over the farmer's... A
man with an unlighted cheroot in his
mouth lit a match. Mr. Edding
glared at the flame with a strange
light in his slate-colored eyes. Sud-
overstep “bounds.”
“She must be careful, that’s all.
There fs a lot of roughscruff op this
ship, remember . . . My girl, you are
prettier than the picture on a Span-
ish doubloon. There will be a moon
for tonight's dance, and you shall
dance with me, lady in the moon.”
“So. You are reaching for the
moon, Mr. Powdah?”
Babsie whirled out of his arm. The
sun went down and the moon rose,
as Powdah had prophesied. The
quarter-deck, lighted with red flares
and lard oll lamps, was alive with
music. But the ship rolled a little.
The flaxon haired youth, George
Martin, wrapped in dreams, linger-
ed by the rail with his peasant girl.
“Afleen, it 1s like a book,” he
whispered.
“A short book perhaps. But short
books may have happy endings,”
Alleen said. They returned to the
dance, and Margaret took their
place alone by the rail, in dove col-
ored satin and silver slippers. She
gripped the rail hard with both
hands.
“Even goddesses are subject to
mal de mer,” a voice said in her ear.
It was Taylor, with his sympathetic
eyes and his adroit hands. He looked
slim, powerful, intriguing.
“Leave me, I beg of you,” the girl
murmured.
“Not until I cure you.” He opened
a chamois pouch under her nose.
“This is Kali Saggl. The gamboes
make it out of roots and herbs. It
cures nausea, but— it may give you
hiccups.”
The fingers of his left hand closed
on the back of her neck, he pushed
the pouch against her nostrils.
“How dare you?” Margaret cried.
“You, a slaver.”
“A slaver, but I dare my duty al-
ways. Confess, the queer feeling -is
gone.”
“Why ... y-yes, it is gone,” Mar-
garet confessed, surprised.

It was against the moon I saw it

“But Captain Taylor, you promised

“I promised not to say anything,”
he. jested. “That is different. | am a,
man of my word too.” y
“You are trifling with me then?”
“Your brother at least is not in 8,

ing to the attack again.
“Easy, my friend,” de Bastonet the
swordsman cautioned him. :
“But she dances with him again.’
You see?”
“Perhaps it is the same dance.
The dance of life, M’sieu.”
“He has betrayed me. What if it
were he who caused Margaret to
break with Martisel? It was. I'll tear
his shirt.” i
He shouidered Taylor impudently
away from Margaret.
“Now you are over-stepping
bounds, Lieutenant.”
“Bounds,” Tarryton cried. “The
English government surprises you
in the act of slaving, and you say
that I overstep bounds.
“You are not the English govern-
ment, remember, and you are not on
English soil. This is an American
ship, and I am an American citizen,
Besides, the English government ex-
onerated me.”
“Liar.”
Tarryton slapped Taylor's face a
ringing slap. So—there might be an-
other way of recovering the fateful
schedules.
“Good.” De Bastonet spoke with
well-oiled precision, as if slipping
into place the bolt that must bar
Taylor out forever from his dream of
