There won't be anything wrong in that. And then I may have a
glimpse of her before the ship leaves the pier. She must not see
me, of course. Never! She'd laugh at me! How I'd hate to see
her laughing at me!" Then, sinking back again with a smile of
justification on his face, he muttered: "We won't turn back;
we'll go right ahead. We'll be a kind of a fool, but not so
foolish as to allow her to see us and recognize us as one."

Before long they arrived at the wharf, and he hurried to the
office near by. The clerk permitted him to look over the list.
First he ran through the first-class passengers, and was
surprised to find that there was no such name as Guggenslocker in
the list. Then he went over the second class, but still no
Guggenslocker.

"Hasn't Mr. Guggenslocker taken passage?" he demanded, unwilling
to believe his eyes.

"Not on the Kaiser Wilhelm, sir."

"Then, by George, they'll miss the boat!" Lorry exclaimed.
"Maybe they'll be here in a few minutes."

"They can't get anything but steerage now, sir. Everything else
is gone."

"Are you sure they haven't taken passage?" asked the bewildered
Lorry, weakly,

"You can see for yourself," answered the young man, curtly.
