Samuel Marlowe was not one of those who pass aloofly by when there is excitement toward. . To dash to the rail and shove a fat man In a tweed cap to one side was with him the work of a moment. He had thus r.n excel lent view of what was going on a view which he improved the next In stant by climbing up and kneeling on the rail. There was a man In the water, a man whose upper section, the only one visible, was clad In a blue Jersey., He wore a derby' hat, and from time to time as he battled with the waves, he would put up a hand and adjust this more firmly on his head." A dressy swimmer. . ' ' Krarrelv had he taken in this spec tacle when Marlowe became aware of the girl he had met on the dock. She was standing a few feet away leaning out over the rail with wide eyes and parted lips. Like everybody else she was staring Into the water. Aa Sam looked at her the thought crossed his mind that here was a won derful chance of making the most tre mendous Impression on this girl. What would she not think of a man who, reckless of bis own safety, dived In and went boldly to the rescue? And there were men, no doubt, who would be chumps enough to do It, he thought, as he prepared to shift back to a po sition of greater safety. At this moment the fat man in the tweed cap, incensed at having, been Jostled out of the front row, made his charge. He had but been crouching, the better to spring. Now he sprang. His full weight took Sam squarely in the spine. There was an Instant In which that young man hung, as it were, between sea and aky; then he shot down over the rail to Join the man In the blue jersey, who bad just discovered that his hat was not on straight and had paused to adjust It once more with a few skillful touches of the finger. In the brief Interval of time which Marlowe had spent in the stateroom, chatting with Eustace about the lat ter's bruised soul, some rather curious things had been happening above. Not extraordinary, perhaps, but curious. These must now be related. A story, if It Is to grip the reader, ahould, I am aware, go . always forward. It should march. It ahould leap from crag to crag like the chamois of the Alps. If there Is one tblng I hate, It Is a novel which gets you Interested In the hero In chapter one and then cuts back In chapter two to tell you all about his grandfather. . Nevertheless, at thla point we must go back a space. We must, return to the moment when, having deposited her. Pekinese dog In her stateroom, the girl with the red hair came, out again on deck. This happened just about the time when Eustace Hignett was beginning his narrative. , By. now the bustle which precedes the departure of an ocean liner was at its height . Hoarse voices were crying, "All for the shore 1" The gangway waa thronged with friends of passen gers returning to land. The crowd on the pier waved flags and handkerchiefs and shouted unintelligibly. Members of the crew stood alertly by the gang plank ready to draw It In aa soon as the last seer-off had crossed It The girl went to 'the rail and gazed earnestly at the shore. There was an anxious expression on her, face. She had the air of one who was waiting for someone to appear. Her demeanor was that of Mariana at the Moated Orange, "He cometh not I" she seemed to be saying. She glanced at her wrist watch, then scanned the dock once more. - -.. There waa a rattle as the gang-plank moved Inboard and was deposited on the deck.- The girl uttered a little cry of dismay. Then suddenly her face brightened and she began to wave brr arm to attract the attention of an elderly man with a red face made red der by exertion, who had Jnst forced hla wsy to the edge of the . dock and was peering up at the passenger-lined rati ' - ,Y; - The boat bad now begun to move slowly out of its slip, backing Into the rtvrr. Ropes had been cast r-ff, and an ever-widening strip of water ap rt-ttrml between the vessel and the tt waa now that the man oa Men and a ByP.G.WODEHOUSE Copyright by George H. Doran Co. the dock sighted the girl. She gesticu lated at him. He gesticulated at her. She appeared helpless and baffled, but he ahowed himself a person of re source, of the stuff of which great gen erals are made. Foch is Just like that a bird at changing preconceived plans to suit the exigencies of the moment. The man on the dock took from his pocket a pleasantly rotund wad of currency bills. He rroduced a hand kerchief, swiftly tied up the bills In it, backed to give himself room, and then, with alt the strength of his arm, he hurled the bills In the direction of the deck. The action was greeted by cheers from a warm-hearted populace. Your New York crowd loves a liberal provider. One says that the man hurled the bills In the direction of the deck, and that was exactly what he did. But the yeara had robbed his pltchlng-arm of the limber strength which, forty sum mers back, ha,d made him the terror of opposing boys' baseball teams. He still retained a fair control but he lacked steam. The handkerchief with lta precious contents shot In a grace ful arc toward the deck, fell short by a., good six feet and dropped Into the water, where It unfolded like a Illy, sending twenty-dollar bills, ten-dollar bills, flve-dollar bills, and an assort ment of ones floating over the wave lets. The cheers of the citizenry changed to cries of horror. The girl uttered a plaintive shriek. The boat moved on. It was at this moment that Mr. Oscar Swenson, one of the thriftiest souls who ever came out of Sweden, per ceived that the chance of a lifetime bad arrived for adding substantially to his little savings. By profession he was one of those men who eke out a precarious livelihood by rowing dream ily about the waterfront in skiffs. He A Moment Later He Had Risen to the . 8urTa.ee and Waa Gathering .Up Money With Both Handa. was doing so now : and, as he sat medi tatively In his skiff, having done 'his best to give the liner a good send-off by paddling round her In circles, the pleading face of a twenty-dollar bill peered up at him. Mr. Swenson was not the man to resist the appeal. ' He uttered a sharp bark of ecstasy, pressed his derby hat firmly upon his brow and dived in. - A moment later he had risen to the surface and waa gathering up money with both hands. He was still busy with this con genial task when a tremendous splash at hla lde sent him under again ; and, rising for a second time, he observed with not a little chagrin that he had been joined by a young man in a blue flannel suit with ah Invisible stripe. "Svensk I" exclaimed Mr. Swenson, or whatever it Is that natives of Swe den exclaim In moments of justifiable annoyance. He resented the advent of this newcomer. He had been getting along fine and had had the situation well in hand. To him Sam Marlowe represented Competition, . and Mr. Swenson desired no competitors in his treasure-seeking enterprise. He trav els, thought Mr. Swenson, the fastest who travels alone. !: .- Sam Marlowe had a touch of the philosopher in him. He had the ability to adapt himself to circumstances. It had been no part of his plans to come whizzing down off the rail Into this singularly soup-like water which tasted In equal parts of oil and dead rats; but now that he was here he was prepared to make the best of the situation. Swimming, it happened, was one of the things he did best, and aomewhere among hla Belongings at home, -was a tarnished pewter, cup which he had won at school In the "Saving Life" competition. He knew exactly what to do. You get behind the victim and grab him firmly nnder hla arms, and then you start swim ming on your back. A moment later the astonished Mr. Swenson, who, be ing practically amphibious, had not anticipated that anyone would have the cool Impertinence to try and save him from drowning, found himself seized from behind and towed vigor ously 'away, from a ten-dollar bill which he had almost succeeded In grasping. .The spiritual agony caused by this assault rendered him merci fully dumb; though, even had he con trived to utter the rich Swedish oaths which accnrred to him. hli remarks Maid could scarcely have been heard, for the crowd on the dock was cheering as one man. They had often paid good money to see far less gripping sights In the movies. They roared applause. The liner, meanwhile, continued- to move stodglly out Into mldrlver. The only drawback to these life saving competitions at school, consid ered from the standpoint of fitting the competitors for the problems of after life, la that the object saved on such occasions Is a leather dummy, and of all things In' this world a leather dummy is perhaps the most placid and phlegmatic. It differs in many respects from an emotional Swedish gentleman, six foot high and constructed through out of steel and India rubber, who Is being lugged away from cash which he has been regarding In the light of a legacy. Indeed, It would not be hard to find a respect In which It does not differ. So far from lying Inert In Sam's arms and allowing himself to be saved In a quiet and orderly man ner, Mr. Swenson betrayed all the symptoms of one who feels that he haa fallen among murderers. Mr. Swen son, much aa he disliked competition, was ready to put up with it provided that It waa fair competition. This pulling your rival away from the loot so that you could grab It yourself thus shockingly had the man misin terpreted Sam's motives waa another thing altogether, and his stout sdhl would have none of It He began Im mediately to struggle with all the violence at his disposal. His large, hairy hands came out of the water and swung hopefully In the direction where he assumed his assailant's face to be. Sam was not unprepared for . this display. His researches In the art of life-saving had taught him that your drowning man frequently struggled against his best Interests. In which case, cruel to be kind, one simply stunned the blighter. He decided to stun Mr. Swenson, though, if he had known that gentleman more Intimately and had been aware that he had the reputation of possessing the thickest head on the water-front he would have realized the magnitude of the task. Friends of Mr. Swenson, In convivial moments, had frequently endeavored to stun him with bottles, boots and bits of lead piping, and had gone away de pressed by failure. Sam, ignorant of this, attempted to do the Job with clenched fist, which he brought down as smartly as possible on the crown of the other's' derby hat It was the worst tblng he could have done. Mr. Swenson thought highly of his hat and this brutal attack upon tt confirmed his gloomiest apprehensions. Now thoroughly convinced that the only thing to do was to sell bis life dearly, he wrenched himself round, seized bis assailant by the neck, twined his arms about his middle, and accompahlecUhlm below the surface. By the time he had swallowed his first pint and was beginning on his second, Sam was reluctantly compelled to come to the conclusion that this was the end. The thought Irritated him unspeakably. This, be felt was Just" the silly, contrary way things always happened. Why should it be he who was perishing like this? Why not Eustace HIgnett? Now there was a fellow whom this sort of thing would just have suited. Broken-hearted Eus tace HIgnett would have looked on alt thla as a merciful release. He paused In his reflections to try to disentangle the more prominent of Mr.' Swenson's limbs from about him. By this time he was sure that he had never met anyone he disliked so In tensely as Mr. Swenson not even .his Aunt Adeline. The man was a human octopus. Sam could count seven dis tinct legs twined riund htm and at least as many arms. It seemed to him that he was being done to death In his prime by a solid platoon of Swedes. He put his whole soul Into one last effort . . . something seemed te give . . . he was free. Pausing only to try to kick Mr. Swenson In the 'Yssalr, You're Wett Wefa Word, AH Right" face, San shot to the surface. Some thing hard and sharp prodded him In the head. Then something caught the collar of his coat; and, finally, spout Ins like a whale, he found himself dragged upward and over1 the side. of a boat' ' . , ' ' j The time which Sam had spent with Mr, Swenson below the surface had been brief, but It had been long enough to enable the whole floating population the of the Nort river to converge on the scene in scows, skiffs, launches, tags and other vessels. The fact that the water In that vicinity was crested With currency had not escaped the notice of these navigators and they had gone to it as one man. First in the race came the tug Reuben' S. Watson, the skipper of which,, following a famous precedent had taken his little daugh ter to bear him company. It was to this fact that Marlowe really owed his rescue. Women have often a vein of sentiment In them where men can only see the hard business side of a situa tion ; and It was the skipper's daugh ter who insisted that the family boat- hook, then In use as a harpoon for spearing dollar bills,' should be de voted to the less profitable but hu- maner end of extricating the young man from a watery grave. The skipper had grumbled a bit at first, but had given way he always spoiled the girl with the result that Sam found himself sitting on the deck of the tug engaged In the complicated process of restoring his faculties to the normal. In a sort of dream he perceived Mr. Swenson rise to the sur face some feet awny, adjust his derby hat, and, after one long look of dislike In his direction, swim off rapidly to Intercept a five which was floating under the stern of a nearby skiff. Sam sat on the deck and panted. He played on the boards like a public fountain. At the back of his mind there was a flickering thought that he wanted to do something, n vague feeling that he had some sort of an appointment which be must keep; but he was unable to think what It was. .Meanwhile, lie conducted tentative ex periments with his breath. It was so long since he had last breathed that he had lost the knack of It. "Well, alncher wet?" said a voice. The skipper's daughter was standing beside him, looking down commlserat ingly. Of the rest of the family all he could see waa the broad blue seats of their trousers as they leaned hopefully over the side In the quest for wealth. "Yesslrl You sure are wet Geel I never seen anyone so wet I I seen wet guys, but I never seen anyone so wet as you. Yesslr, you're certainly wet!" "I am wet" admitted Sam. "Yesslr, you're wet I Wet's the word all right. Good and wet that's what you are I" "It's the water," said Sam. His brain .waa still clouded; he wished be could remember what that appoint ment was.. "That's what has made me wet" ."It's sure made you wet all right" agreed the girl. She looked at him Interestedly. "Wotcha do It for?" she asked. "Do It for?" "Yes, wotcha do It for? How come? Wotcha do a Brodle for offn that ship? I didn't see it myself, but pa says you come walloping down offn the deck like a sack of potatoes." Sam uttered a sharp cry. He had remembered. "Where Is she?" "Where's who?" "The liner." "She's off down the river, I guess. She was swinging round, the last I seen of her." "She's not gone?" "Sure she's gone. Wotcha expect her to do? She's gotta get over to the other side, ain't she? Cert'nly she's gone." She looked at blm inter ested. "Do you want to be on board her?" "Of course I do." "Then for the love of Pete, wotcha doln' walloptn' offn the deck like a sack of potatoes?" "I slipped. I was pushed or some thing." Sam sprang to his feet and looked wildly about him. "I must get back. Isn't there any way of getting backr "Well, you could catch tip with her at quarantine out In the bay. She'll stop to let the pilot off." "Can you take me to quarantine?" The girl glanced doubtfully at the aeat of the nearest pair of trousers. "Well, we could," she said. "But pa's kind of set in his ways, and right now he's fishing for dollar bills with the boathook. He's apt to get sorta mad If he's Interrupted" ' "IH give him fifty dollars If he'll put me on board" "Got It on you?" inquired the nymph coyly. She had her share of senti ment, but she waa her father's daugh ter and inherited from him the busi ness sense. v "Here It Is." ' He pulled out his pocketbook.
