He lifted his hat to you ‘tonight, and you almost killed him ‘with a look, It did not occur to him that you would. not recognize him | disguised as a gentleman, and he lift- ed his hat on impulse. Do not hold it against him.. The sight of you again set his reason. tottéring on its throne, and he told me his sad story. “This man, John Stuart Webster, Is wealthy, single, forty, fine and crazy as a March hare. He is in love with.| you. You might do worse than fall in love with him, He is the best mining Jengineer in the world, and he is now aboard the same train with you, en route to New Orleans, thence to take the steamer to Buenaventura, Sobran- ~'te, C. A., where he is to meet another lunatic and finance a hole in the ground. I do not want him to go to Sobrante, If you marry him, he will not. If' you/do not marry him, you still might arrange to make him listen to reason. If you can induce him to come to work for me within- the next 90" days, whether you marry him or ' not, I will give you $5,000 the day he reports on the job. Please bear In mind:that he does not know I am do- ing this. If he did, he would Kkill me, but business is business, and this is a plain business proposition. I am put- ting you wise, so you will know your power and can exercise it if you care to earn the money. If not, please for- get about it. At any rate, please do me the favor to communicate with me on the snbject. if at all interestdd. “Edward P. Jerome, President Colo- rado Consolidated Mines, Ltd, Care Engineers’ Club.” The girl read and rercad this tele- gram several times, and presently a slow little smile commenced to creep around the corners of her adorable mouth. “T believe that amazing old gentle- man Is absolutely dependable,” was the decision at which ‘she” ultimately arrived, and calling for a telegraph - blank, she wired the old schemer: i “Five thousand not enough mmoney. !'Make it $10,000 and I will gufirantee 10 deliver the man within 90 days. 1 stay on this train to New Orleans. “HENRIETTA.” . That telegram arrived at the Engi- neers’ club about midnight, and pur- suant to instructions, the night bar- keeper rcad it and 'phoned the conv tents t6 Neddy Jerome, who prompt- Iy telephoned his reply to tho tele- graph oftice, and then sat on the edge '"of his bed, scratching his toes and meditating. \ “That's a remarkable young wom- an,” he decided, “and business to her finger tips. Well, I've done my part, and it’s now up to Jack Webster to protect himself in the clinches and breakaways.” N 2 About daylight a black hand passed Neddy Jerome's reply through the berth curtains to Dolores Ruey. She read: “Accept. When you deliver ' the goods, communicate with me and get your money. .. “JEROME.” | She snuggled’ back’ among the pil- | lows and considered the various- as- pects of this amazing contract which she had underfaken’ with ‘a ‘péerfect stranger. Houn after hour she lay there, thinking over this preposterous | situation, and the: mord ‘she ‘weighed it, the more interesting and attractive the proposition appeared.’ But- one consideration troubled her. How ! CHAPTER IV. Day was dawning in Buenaventura, | republic of Sobrante; as invarlably it | silvery light of a full moon that had ! decpening ppward stayed ' out scandalously late "had merged imperceptibly into gray; the || gray was swiftly yleldmg place to 8 faint crimson. that, was spreading and thwart the east. In the patio of Mother Jenks' estab- lishment in. the Calle de Concordia, No. 19,"thé" first ‘shafts of morning light were filtering obliquely through the orange trees and creeping in un- . der the deep, Gothic-arched. verandd " fanking the western side “of/ the pa- would the unkya;“? knight manage an introduction? ‘OF, ¥ he failed to man- age it, how was she to overcome that ! obstacle? i “Oh, dear,” &he murmured, “I do | hope he's brave.” She need not have worried. Hour: hefore, the object of her thought ha settled all that to his own complete | satisfaction, and as a consequence was | slecping peacefully and or ill, the merrow might bring forth. | 1 gaining |ing a personal strength for whatever of fortune, good | southern - Europe to lencourage the | tio. ~“Presently, throogh the silent reacheg;of the Cplle’de!Concordia, the 9. sound’of a prodigious knocking and thumping echoed, as of some fretful individual- seeking “admisgion -at the by | street door ot! E] ; Buen Amigo, which® éuphonfous’ designation Mother Jenks” caravansary was known to the public. of Buenayentura. In the sec- ond story, front, a window slid back and a woman’s voice, husky with that huskiness that speaks so accusingly of cigarettes and alephol, demanged: | “Quien es? Who is'it? Que quiere usted? Wot do yer want?” “Ye might- dispinse. wit’ that para- queet conversation whin addhressin’ the likes av me,” a volce replied. ““Tis me—Cafferty. "I have a cablegram Leber give me to’ dellver—" “Gawd's , truth! the ‘ole 'oute with yer-'ammering?" “All right. ‘Tl not say. another avorrd!” Without: thé portal stood Don Juan Cafefero; of whom a word or two be; fore’ procéeding. i 0. begin, Don Juan Cafetero was not liis‘feal name, but rather a free Spanish . translation of ‘the Gaelic, John Cafferty. Mr. Cafferty, was an ,exile of Erin with a horrible thirst. \He had first arrived in Sobrante some five years before, as section Doss in the employ of the little foreign-owned narrow-gauge raflway which ran from Buenaventura on the Caribbean coast to San Miguel de Padua, up-country where the nitrate beds were located. Prior to his advent the railroad peo- ple hagd tried many breeds of section boss without visible results; until a Chicago man, who had come to So- brante to install an inter-communicat- ing telephone system in the govern- ment buildings, suggested to the su- perintendent of the road, who was a German, that the men made for bosses | come from Erin’s isle; wherefore Mr. Cafferty had been imported at a price of'$5 a day gold. Result—a marked improvement in the road bed and con- sequently the train schedules, and the ultimate loss of the Cafferty soul. Something in the climate of Sobran- te must have appealed to a touch of lnissez faire in Don Juan’s amiable nature, for in the course of time he had taken unto, himself, without. bell or book, after the. fashion of the pro- letariat of Sobrante, the daughter of one Esteban Manuel Enrique Jose Ma- rin Pasqual y Miramontes, an: estima- ble peon who “was singularly glad to have his daughter off his hands and no questions asked. Following the fash- ion of the country, however, Esteban had forthwith moved the remainder of his numerous progeny under the man- tle of Don Juan Cafetero’s philan- thropy, and resigned a position which for, many years he had not enjoyed —to-wit: .salting and packing green .hides at a local abattoir. This fool- ‘hardy economic move had so incenséil Don Juan that fn a fit of pique he spurned his father-in-law (we must call Esteban something and $o why split hairs?) under the tails of his camisa, with such vigor as to sever forever the friendly relations hither- to, existing between the families. Mrs. Cafferty (again -we transgress, but what of it?) subsequently passed away in child birth, and no sooner had she been -decently buried than Don Juan took a week off to drown his sorrows. In this condition he had eneoun- tered Lsteban Mahuel Enrique Jose Maria Pasqual y- Miramontes and called him out of his name. In the altercation that gnsued Esteban, fully convinced that he had received: the nub end of the transaction from start to finish, cut Don Juan severely; Don Juan had thereupon slain Esteban with a_.44-caliber revolver and upon emerging from the railroad hospital a month later had been tried by a So- brantean magistrate and fined the sum of $20,000, legal tender of the Tepublic of Sobrante. Of course, he had paid it off within six months from his wages as section boss, but the mem- ory of the injustice always rankled him, and gradually he moved down the scale of society from section boss to day laborer, day laborer to tropical tramp, and tropical tramp to beach | comber, in. which latter state he had now existed for several months. To veturn tp Mother Jenks. Before Don Juan could even utter o matutinal greeting, Mother Jenks laid finger to lip and silenced himi. “Go. Dback to Lieber’s and return in an hour.” she whispered. “I"ave my reasons for wantin’ that bloomin’ cablegram de- livered later.” Don Juan hadn’t the least idea what Mother Jenks' reasons might be, but he presumed she was up to some chi- carery, and- so he winked his blood- shot cye very knowingly and noddcd‘ hi3 acquiescence in the program. When'he had gone, Mother Jenks | went bebind the bar and fortified her- self with which. rite having been performed, her sleep-benumbed brain livened up Im- edintely. m‘m(\e;gutinucd in Next Issue) St. Johns, Newfoundland. — The representative to market for Newfoundland codrish at .
