CHAPTER II.
The day following “steamer night” was
usually stale and flat at San Francisco.
The reaction from the feverish exaltation
of the previous twenty-four hours was
acen in the listless faces and lounging fret
of promenaiiers, and was notable in the
deserted offices and warehouses still redo¬
lent of last night’s gas, and strewn
the dead ashes of last night’s fires. There
was a brief pause before the busy life
wlildi ran its course from “steamer day ”
to steamer day was once more taken tip.
In that interval a few anxious speculators
and investors breathed freely, some criti¬
cal situation was relieved, or some im¬
pending catastiophe momentarily averted.
In particular, a singular stroke of good
fortune that morning befell Air. Nott.
He not only secured o. new tenant, but, at
he sagaciously believed 'Introduced inti
tho Pontiac a counteracting influence to
the subtle fascinations of do Ferrieres.
The new tenant apparently possessed a
combination of business shrewdness and
brusque frankness that strongly impressed
his landlord. “You see, Kosey,” said
Nott, complacently describing the inter¬
view to his daughter, “when I sorter in¬
timated in a keerless kind o’ way that
sugar kettles and hair dye was about
played out ez securities, he just planked
down the money for two mouths in ad¬
vance. ‘There,’ sez he, ‘that’s your se¬
curity—now where’s mine?’ ‘I reckon I
don’t hitch on, pardner,’sez I; ‘security
what"for?’ ‘ ’Spose you sell the ship?’ sez
he, ‘afore the two months is up. I’ve heard
that old Sleight wants to buy her. ’ ‘Then
you gets back your money, ’ sez I. ‘And
lose my room,’ sez he; ‘net much, old man.
You sign a paper that whoever buys the
ship inside o’ two months hez to buy me
cz a tenant with it; ( l1rat's on the square.’
So I sign the paper. It was mighty cute
in the young feller, wasn’t it?” he said,
scanning his daughter’s pretty, puzzled
face a little anxiously; “and don’t you see
ez I ain’t goin’ to sell the Pontiac, it’s jest
about ez cute in me, eh? He’s a contrac¬
tor somewhere around yer, and wants to
be near his work. So he takes the room
next to the Frenchman, that that ship
captain quit for tlic mines, and succeeds
miterally to his chest and things. He’s
mighty peart looking, that young feller,
Rosey—long black mustaches, all his own
color, Rosey—and lie’s a regular high-
stepper, you bet. I reckon he’s not only
been a gentleman, but ez now. Some o’
them contractors are very high toned!”
“I don’t think we have any right to
give him tho captain’s chest, father,” said
Rosey; “there may be some private things
in it. There were some letters and pho¬
tographs in the hairdye man’s trunk that
you gave the photographer.”
“That’s just it, Rosey,” returned Ab¬
ner Nott, with sublime unconsciousness,
“photographs and love letters you can’t
sell for cash, and I don’t mind givin’ ’em
away if they kin make a feller creature
happy.”
“But, father, have we the right to give
’em away?”
“They’re collateral security, Rosey,”
said her father, grimly. “Co-la-te-ral,”
he continued, emphasizing each syllable
by tapping the fist of one hand in the
open palm of the other. “Co-la-te-ral is
the word the big business sharps yer about
call ’em. You can’t get round that.”
He paused a moment, and then, ns a new
idea seemed to he painfully borne in his
round eyes, continued cautiously: “Was
that the reason why you wouldn’t touch
any of them dresses from the trunks of
that opery gal ez skedaddled for Sacra¬
mento? And yet them trunks I regularly
bought at auction—Rosey—-at auction, on
spec—and they didn’t realize the cost of
dray age.”
A slight color mounted to Rosey’s face.,
“No,” she said, hastily, “not that.” Hesi¬
tating, a moment. she then drew softly to
his side, and, placing her arms around his
neck, turned his broad, foolish face
towards her own. “Father,” she began,
“when mother died, would you have liked
anybody to take her trunks and paw
aiound her things and wear them?”
“When your mother died, just this side
o’ Sweetwater, Rosey,” said Mr. Nott,
with beaming unconsciousness, “she
hadn’t any trunks. I reckon she hadn’t
even an extra gown hanging up in the
wagin, ’cept the petticoat ez she had
wrapped around yer. It was about ez
much ez we could do to skirmish round
with Injins, alkali and cold, and wo
sorter forgot to" dress for dinner. She
never thought, Rosey, that you and mo
would live to be inhabitin’ a paliss of a
real ship. Ef she had she would have
died a proud woman.”
He turned his small, loving, boar like
eyes upon her as a preternaturally inno¬
cent and- trusting companion of Ulysses
might have regarded the transforming
Circe. Rosey turned away with the
faintest sigh. The habitual look of ab¬
straction returned to her eyes as if she
had once more taken refuge in her own
ideal world. Unfortunately the change
did not escape either the sensitive obser¬
vation or the fatuous misconception of
the sagacious parent. "Ye'll be mountin’
a few furbelows and lixins, Rosey, I
reckon, ez only natural. Mebbee ye’ll
have to priuk up a little now that we’ve
got a gentleman contractor in the shin.
I’ll see what I kiD pick up in Montgomery
street.” And indeed he succeeded a few
hours later in accomplishing with equal
infelicity his generous design. When she
returned from her household tasks she
found on her berth a purple velvet bonnet
of extraordinary make, and a pair of
white satin slippers. “They'll do for a
start off, Rosey,” he explained, “and I
got ’em at my Aggers.”
“But I go ont so seldom, father, and a
bonnet”-
“That’s so,” interrupted Mr. Nott,
complacently, “it might bo jest ez well
for a young gal like yer to appear ez if
she did go out, or would go out if she
watted to. Bo you kin be wearin’ that
ar headstall kinder like this evening when
the contractor’s here, ez if you’d jest
come in from a pasear.”
Miss Rosey did not, however, imme¬
diately avail herself of her fall: ~’e pur¬
chase, but contented herself with the
usual scarlet ribbon that like a snood con¬
fined her brown hair, when she returned
to her tasks. The space between the gal¬
ley and the bulwarks had been her favor¬
ite resort in summer when not actually
engaged in household work. It was now
lightly roofed over with boards and tar¬
paulin against the winter rain, but still
afforded her a veranda like space liefore
the galley door, where she could read or
sew, looking over the bow of the Pontiac
to the tossing bay or the further range of
the Contra Costa hills.
Hither Miss Rosey brought the purple
prodigy, partly to please her father, partly
with a view of subjecting it to violent rad¬
ical changes. But after trying it on lie-
fore the tiny mirror in tho galley once or
tw ice, her thoughts wandered away, and
she f 11 into one of her habitual reveries
sealed on a little stool before the galley
door.
She was aroused from it by tho slight
shaking and rattling of tho doors of a
email hatch on the deck, not a dozen
yards from where sho sat. It had been
evidently fastened from below during tin
wet weather, but as she gazed, the fasten¬
ings were removed, the doors were sud¬
denly lifted, and the head and shoulders
of a young man emerged from the deck.
Partly from her father’s description, and
partly from the impossibility of Its being
anybody else, she at once conceived it to
be the new lodger. She had time to note
that he was young and good looking,
graver perhaps than became his sudden
pantomimic appearance, but before she
could observe him closely he had turned,
closed the hatch with a certain familiar
dexterity, and walked slowly towards tho
bows. Even in her slight bewilderment
she observed that his step upon the deck
seemed different to her father’s or the
photographer’s, and that he laid his hand
on various objects with a half
ease and habit. Presently lie paused and
turned back, and glancing at the galley
door for tho first time encountered her
wondering eyes.
It seemed so evident that she had been
curious spectator of his abrupt
on deck that he was at first disconcerted
and confused. But after a second glance
at her lie appeared to resume his compos¬
ure, and advanced a little defiantly
wards the galley.
“I. suppose I frightened you,
up the fore hatch just now?”
“The what?” asked Rosey.
“The fore hatch,” he repeated impa¬
tiently, indicating it with a gesture.
“And that’s the fore hatch?” she said
abstractedly. ‘ ‘You seem to know ships. ’
“Yes—a little," ho said quietly. - “I
was below, and unfastened the hatch
come up the quickest way and take a
round. I’ve just hired a room here,”
added explanatorily.
“I thought so,” said Rosey
“you’re the contractor?”
“The contractor!—oh, yes! You
to know it alh”
“Father’s told me.”
“Oh, he’s your father—Nott? Cer¬
tainly. I sec now,” he continued,
at her with a half repressed smile.
tainly, Miss Nott, good morning,”
added and walked toward tho
way. Something in the direction of
eyes as he turned away made Rosey
her hands to her head. She had
to remove her father’s baleful gift.
She snatched It off and ran quickly
the companion way.
“Sir!” she called.
The young man turned half way down
the steps and looked up. There was
faint color in her cheeks and her pretty
brown hair was slightly disheveled from
the. hasty removal of the bonnet.
“Father’s very particular about stran¬
gers being on this deck,” she said, a little
sharply.
“Oh—ah—I’m sorry I intruded.”
“I—I—thought I’d tell you,” said
Rosey, frightened by her boldness into a
feeble anti-climax.
“Thank you.”
She came back slowly to the galley and
picked up tho unfortunate bonnet with a
slight sense of remorse. Why should she
feel angry with her poor father’s unhappy
offering? And what business had this
strange young man to use tho ship so
familiarly? Yet she was vaguely con¬
scious that she and her father, with all
their love and their domestic experience
of it, lacked a certain instinctive ease in
its possession that the half Indifferent
stranger had shown on first treading its
deck. She walked to the hatchway and
examined it with a new interest. Suc¬
ceeding in lifting the hatch, she gazed at
the lower deck. As^she already knew the
ladder had long since been removed to
make room for one of the partitions, the
only way the stranger could have reached
it was by leaping to one of the rings. To
make sure of this she let herself down,
holding on to the rings, and dropped a
couple of feet to the deck below. She was
iu the narrow.passage her father had pene¬
trated the previous night. Before her was
the door leading to de Ferrieres’ loft, al¬
ways locked. It was silent within; it
was the hour when the old French¬
man made his habitual promennde in
the city. But the light from the newly
opened Latch allowed her to see more
the mysterious recesses of the forward
bulkhead than she had known before, and
she was startled by observing another
yawning hatchway at her feet from which
the closely fitting door had been lifted
and which the new lodger had
forgotten to close again. The young girl
stooped down and peered cautiously
the black abyss. Nothing was to be seen,
nothing heard but the distant gurgle and
click of water in some remoter depth. She
replaced the hatch and returned by
of the passage to the cabin.
When her father came home that
she briefly recounted the interview with
the new lodger and her discovery of
curiosity. She did this with a possible in¬
crease of her usual shyness and abstrac¬
tion, and apparently more as a duty than a
colloquial recreation. But It pleased Mr.
Nott also to give it more than his usual
misconception. “Looking round the ship,
was he—eh. Rosey?" he said with in¬
finite archness. “In course, kinder sweep-
y— '
la’ round tho gaaey and Attend to r«ca
you woodruff water, eh?" Even when
the young girl had picked up *ber book
. with the usual faint smile of affectionate
tolerance ard then drifted away In it«
pages, Mr. Nott chuckled audibly. “I
reckon old French)* didn’t come by when
tho young one was bedevilin' you there."
“What, father?” said Rosey, lifting her
abstracted eyes to his face.
At the moment it seonud >ssible
that any human IhtclUge’ . -id have
suspected deceit or duplicity in Rosey’s
clear gaze. But Mr. Nott’s intelligence
was superhuman. “I was sayin' that Mr.
Ferrieres didn't happen in while the young
feller was there—eh?”
“No, father,” answered Ros< . with an
effort to follow him out of tL pages of
her book. “Why?”
But Mr. Nott did not reply, Later in
the evening he awkwardly waylaid the
new lodger liefore the cabin door as that
gentleman would have to pass on to his
room.
“I’m afraid,” said the young man,
glancing at Rosey, “that I intruded upon
your daughter today. I was a little cu¬
rious to sec the old ship, and I didn’t
know what part of it was private.”
“There ain't no private part to this yer
ship—that cz, ’cepting tho rooms and
lofts,” said Mr. Nott, authoritatively.
Then, subjecting the anxious look of hia
daughter to his usual faculty for miscon¬
ception, ho added: “Tli&r ain’t no place
wliar yon haven’t as much right to go cz
any other man; thar ain’t any man, fur-
riuer or Ainerykan, young or old, dyed or
undyed, ez hev got any better rights.
You hear me, young fellow. Mr. Ilen-
shaw—my darter. My darter—Mr. Ren*
shaw. Rosey, give the gentleman a chair.
She’s only jest come in from a promey-
nade, and hez jest taken off her bonnet,”
ho added, with an arch look at Rosey and
a hurried look around tho cabin, as if ho
hoped to sec tho missing gift visible to tho
general eye. “So take a seat a minlt,
won’t ye?”
J/.
\ /
u Mr. Iienshaw—my darter."
But Mr. Renshaw, after an observant
glance at the young girl’s abstracted face,
brusquely excused himself. “I’ve got a
letter to write,” he said, with a half bow
to Rosey. “Goodnight.”
lie crossed the pass;, js to the room that
had been assigned to him, and, closing tho
door, gave way to some irritability ot
temper in his efforts to light the lamp
and adjust his writing materials. For
his excuse to Mr. Nott was more truth¬
ful than mo3t polite pretexts. ’lie hail,
indeed, a letter to write, and one that, be¬
ing yet young in duplicity, the near pres¬
ence of his host rendered difficult. For it
ran as follows:
Duut Sleight:
As I found I couldn’t get a chance to make any
examination of the ship except as occasion of¬
fered, I just went in to rent lodgings in her from
the God forsaken old ass who owns her, and here
I am a tenant for two months. I contracted for
that time In case the old fool should sell out to
some one else before. Except that she’s cut up a
little between decks by tho partitions for lofts
that that Pike county idiot has put into her, she
looks but little changed, and her forehold, as far
as I can judge, is intact. It seems that Nott
bought her just as she stands, with her cargo
half out, but he wasn't here when she broke
cargo. If anybody else bad bought her but this
cursed Missourian, who hasn't got the hayseed
out of hts hair, I might have found out something
from him, and saved myself this kind of fooling,
which isn't in my line. If I could get possession
of a loft on the main deck, well forward, just over
the forehold, I could satisfy myself iu a few
hours, but the loft is rented by that crazy French¬
man who parades Montgomery street every after
ooon, and though old Pike County wants to turn
him out, I’m afraid I can't get it for a week to
come.
If anything should happen to me, just you
waltz down heve and corral my things at on
for this old frontier pirate has a way of confiscat¬
ing his lodgers’ trunks. Yours. * pu s

CLEANLINESS OF FNGLBHMEft
Custom* of EntfUah Upper
/Arrangement* In Fran**.
Man is not usually a cleanly animal,
jM clo udiness is sometimes attained l>|
him as an exceptional state, and th*
modern English believe themselves to bt
a much cleaner people than tho French.
Tho claim is founded on the habits of tbs
English upper class and tho richer middle
class, hi .-hich, no (loubt, greater perfec¬
tion of tally and hourly cleanliness is
maintained than it common among
French people. Hut hero again tho ques¬
tion of chronology recurs. Flow long
have the English upper classes been to
perfectly aud continuously clean as the*
aro to-day? Observe that it is tho con¬
tinuity of the cleanliness that makes afi
the difference. Tho skin of a Frenchman
is clean after ho has taken his warm bath,
but he doc3 not take one every morning.
Tho Englishman, unless hia health is toe
delicate to bear it, sponges himself all
over every morning in his own dressing
room.
This custom began to be prevalent
amongst young men in England when I
was a boy. The men of Frenchmen tho po coding do
generation did exactly as
to-day; they took a warm bath occasion¬
ally for cleanliness, and they took shower
baths when they wore prescribed by the
physician for health, and they Lathed in
summer cess for pleasure, but they did
not wash themselves all over every morn
big. I remember an old gentleman, oi
good family and estate, arguing against
this strange, new-fangled custom, and
maintaining that it was quit© unneces¬
sary to wash tho skin in modem times,
as the impurities wore removed by linen.
However, the new custom took deep, root
in England, because it became ono of tho
signs of class. It was adopted as one of
tho liabits of a gentleman, and afterward
spread rather lower, though it, is not yet
by any means universal. It is English chiefly
upon this liabit that the present
claim to superior cleanliness is founded.
In former times tho English were proud
of using more water titan the French for
ordinary ablutions, and they pretended
to believe that tho French were unac¬
quainted with tho use of soap, because
they did not provide public pieces of soap
ip the bed chambers of their hotels.
Tho English have now a clean upper
class, but not yet a clean people, at least
according to the evidence of physicians
who write on health. Tho same physi¬
cians are still more severe on the con¬
cealed dirtiness of many people in the
middle classes, a subject that is pleasanter
not to dwell upon.
The English upper classes aro, by their
good example and by their habit of trav¬
eling, tho great teachers of cleanliness in
western Europe. Their baths, ewers,
water basins and other complicated toilet
arrangements aro coppied very extensive¬
ly in France. If you visit a pot sb'p in a
small provincial town, quito remoto from
tho channel, you will find English wash
stand services of full size, or goo<l French
copies of them; and if j*ou go to tho irun-
tnonger’s you will find all kinds of baths
for domestic use, including EnglisVi
sponge, baths. In French houses, where
the old, small ewera and basins aro re¬
tained, they aro now almost invariably
supplemented by a captioio'm tin water
jug on the floor. In fact, tho French ar*
becoming a cleaner people, an improve¬
ment in which the English have taken
the lead, being about forty yean’, in ad¬
vance.—Philip Gilbert Ilaroerton in The
