Faversham was delighted and told her so in many ways. And long after midnight, when Mrs. Reynolds was pre- paring to go home, he took Rutb out under the shadows of the garden trees and would have kissed her. “Don't!" she sald simply. “What is the matter, darling?’ be asked tenderly. She stared out into the darknmess, and be saw the pallor of her face. "l am sure something has happened to John.” 7 Faversham frowned. It was toobad |, that this man should always come be tween him and bis betrothed. Buthis volce was very gentle as he answered: “That is out of the question. Ach- met is very faithful, and if anything had bappened 1 should know of it.” Ruth shook her bead and insisted that she was sure. The baronet laugh- ed at her, but she was. not to be put off. *1 know Jobn is in trouble,” she said determinedly. “If you won't help me Pl go myseltr” Sir Donald argued as strongly as he could and in vain. “I'm perfectly sure that John Dorr is in trouble,” she repeated. *“He's all alone up there among those awful na- tives and"— “Achmet 18 with hlm." interposed Faversham. —*and some dne must go right away and help bimn,” Ruth went on. “You poor girl!” murmured .Mrs. Reynolds. 1 know how you feel, but you must get some rest. We'll talk it over later in the morning.” She drew Ruth away toward ber room, with a backward glance of whimsical comfort for the baronet. Faversham watched them go, stood doubtful for a moment, shook his. head and departed. ‘The consul's wife found Ruth too stubborn to handle by herself, for she insisted that, as no one else would go, she would set out herself, apd, to em- phasize ber ussenlon began. to, chnye from ber ball gown into a rldlng habit.

On one side were Harry Wilkerson and Mrs. Dar- oell, on the other Everett and Faver- sham, the latter looking so intensely bored that shrewd Mrs. Darnell in- stantly ‘made up her mind that she and Wilkerson would have to accept bitter terms.

Finally he roused himself as by an effort. “1 think 1 ought to have more,” he sald quietly. “There are signs of gold on one part of this property which has never been worked. It is nowhere near the place marked in the plans, as you will easily see. You understand that Tom Gallon and 1 were partners when he located that rich ore. Never mind. Bygones are bygones. But | want $50,000 and that little claim. It may not amount to anything, but then again it may. Fifty thousand is soon spent. A mine is a mine.” “The plans!" demanded Sir Donald. Wilkerson pulled out of his shirt bosom an oilskin folded around a square paper. He laid this on the ta- ble. s “There they are,” he sald, as though driven to bay. Mrs. Darnell’s movement of protest did not escape either Everett or I*aver- sham. They looked at the little packet that had cost so much agony and bloodshed. “It I1s a—a gentleman's agreement,’” said Sir Donald presently, taking out his check book. ‘The money passed, and then Everett picked up the oilskin packet and put it in his pocket. “The deeds and the master key,” he said gently. Mrs. Darnell’s face became splendid in its futile rage. She tore the ribbon from about ber throbbing throat and flung the key on the table. 8ir Donald-picked it up carefully and rose. At the same moment Everett pocketed the deeds and started for the door. He and Faversham passed out into the starry night and vanished, leaving Wilkerson still at the desk fumbling the check. Suddenly ‘he reached for pen and ink andscrawled his name on the back. Then he silently handed it to Jean Darnell, biting her red lips and moving almost imperceptibly, like an animal about to spring. She: took the bit of paper and tucked It In ber bosom. Then she turned on her companion. ‘He met her flery gaze coldly. “The: mother lode is on that little bit I got-them to give us,” he sald calmly. “The plans Everett bas are false.” And thes look that she-allowed bim to-see in her-eyes 'was such as no oth. er man-had-ever seen there.
