She was studying the results of her preparations. She was to dine with Bull Sternford, the man who had caught and held her interest for all she knew that they belonged to camps that were sternly opposed to each other. She wanted to look her best, whatever that best might be, and she was haunted by a fear that her best could never rank in its due place amongst the superlatives.
He was watching intently but unobtrusively the transparent display of emotions which his words had conjured. "I hadn't thought about it," Nancy said at last, not without some disappointment. "Do you really think I should write? But it will take so long to reach them. I can't wait for that. It " "Wire." "Yes. I suppose I could wire." "Sternford will have it sent for you."
Bull Sternford gave you as good a dinner as I would have given you, and as good a time generally. You look well rested, anyway." There was a sting in the words that all the man's care could not quite shut out. But the tone was of intended good-nature. In a moment Nancy was explaining. "Oh, I know you must think me terribly mean," she cried impulsively.
I didn't know about it till I was safe down in the saloon. I woke up then, and he was carrying me " "Sternford?" The change in the man's eyes had deepened. Then his smile came back to them. But that, too, was different. It was curiously fixed and hard. "You've gone a bit too fast for me," he said. "I don't get things right. Sternford, the man running Sachigo was with you on the Myra?

Everywhere was the hum of voices, which penetrated even to the intended quiet of the writing rooms. Every now and then the monotony of it all was broken by the high-pitched, youthful voices of the messenger boys seeking out their victims. Bull Sternford was at work.

"You see, mam, my orders are to pass you over to the folks waiting for you. That'll be Bat. He'll pass you on to Sternford. I take it you'll sleep aboard to-night. Your stateroom's booked that way.
He had kicked the damp snow from his moccasins. Now he was wiping the moisture out of his eyes, and the chill in his limbs was easing under the warmth which the stove radiated. Ole Porson's grim face was alight with a smile of genuine welcome, as he stood surveying his visitor across the roaring stove. "It's surely the best thing happened in years, Mr. Sternford," he was saying.
