"Look me up now and then when you're in port. I might have a job for you, but I don't know yet," he said, and added in a meaning voice: "If you want to see my family, Mrs. Cartwright will receive you at her house." Lister colored and got up.

If you write to Miss Hyslop, your letters will be burned." He went back to the smoking-room, and playing with his usual boldness, won twenty dollars. Then he joined Mrs. Cartwright on the front veranda and remarked: "Shillito won't bother us. He goes in the morning." Mrs. Cartwright gave him a grateful smile. She had long known that when she asked her husband's help difficulties were removed.
