Kyne) (Continued from Page 2) have as a passenge IS TP w-rarge, interesting person, by name John Stu- art Webster?” added Billy Geary. “I don’t know, Billy. I'll look. over the passenger list,"- and together they moved off toward his office. Dolores followed, drawn by the mention of that magic name Webster, and paused in front of the purser’s office to lean over the rail, ostensibly to watch the cargadores in their lighters clustering around the great ship, but in reality to learn more of the mysterious Web- ster, “Blast the Juck” Billy Geary zrowled, “the old sinner isn’t here. By the way, do you happen to have a Miss Dolores Ruey aboard?” Dolores pricked up her little ears. What possible interest could this stranger have in her goings or com- ings? “You picked a winner this time, Bill,” shei heard the purser say. “Stateroom sixteen, boat-deck, star- hoard side. You'll probably find her there, packing to go ashore.” “Thanks,” Bllly replied and stepped out of the purser's’ office. Dolores turned and faced him. “I am Miss Ruey,” she announced. “T heard you asking for me.” Her cyes carried the query she had not put into words: “Who are you, and what do you want?” Billy saw and under- stood, and on the instant a wave of desolation surged over him. So this was the. vision he had velun- teered to meet aboard La Estrellita, and by “specious lie and hypeeritic mien, turn her back from the portals of Buenaventura to that dear old Upited States, which, Billy suddenly . recalled with poignant pain, is a slz- able country in which a young lady may very readily be lost forever, With the quick eye of youth, he noted that Dolores was perfectly wonderfol fn a white flannel skirt and jacket, white buck boots, white panama hat with a gorgeous puggaree, a mannish little linen collar, and a red four-in-hand tie. From under that white hat peeped a profusion of crinkly brown hair with a htly reddish tinge to it; her eyes were big and brown and wide apart, with golden flecks in them; their «lance met Billy’s hungry gage simply, direetly, and with a curiosity there was no attempt to hide. Her nose was patrician; her beautiful short up- per lip revealed the tips of two per- | foct, milk-white front teeth: she was, Rilly Geary .told himself, a goddess bhefore whom all low, worthless, ornery fellows like himself should grovel and die happy, if perchance she might be so minded as to walk on their faces! Ile was aroused from his critical in- ventory when the houri spoke again: “You haven’t answered my question, sir!” “No” said Billy, “I dido’t. Stupid of me, too. However, come to think of it, you didn’t ask me any question. You looked it. My name is Geary- Williom H. Geary, by profession a n nz engineer and by nature an iznoramus, and I have called to de- liver some disappointing news regard- ing Llenrietta Wilkins.” “Is she—" “She is. Very much alive and In ex- cellent health—or rather was, the last time it was my pleasure and privilege to call on the dear lady. But she isn't in Buenaventura now.” Mentally Billy asked God to forgive him lhis black- hearted treachery to this winsome girl. 1le loathed the task he had plapned and foisted upon himself, and noth- ing but the memory of Mother Jenks' | la?" Billy gasped. | .sabe?” he sald, manifold kindnesses te- him in a day, thanks to Jack Webster, now happily behind him, could have. induced him | to go through to the finish. “Why, where is she?” Dolores | queried, and Billy could have wept at | the fright in those lovely brown eyes. He waved his hapd airily. “Quien “She left three weeks | ago for New Orleans to visit you. I dare say you passed each other on the road—here, here. ‘Miss Ruey, don't ery.” He took a recess of three minutes, while Dolores dabbed her eyes and went through sundry other motions of being brave. Then he proceeded with his nefarious recital. “When your cablegram arrived, Miss Ruey, naturally Mrs. Wilkins was not bere to receive it, and as I was the only person who had her address, the cable hgent referred it to me. Under the circumstances, not knowing where | I could reach you with a cable inform- | ing you that Mrs, Wilkins was headed for California to see you, I had no | other alternative but to let matters take thelr course. ¥ decided you might arrive on La Estrellita, so I called to welcome you to our thriving little city, | and, as a friend of about two min- | utes’ standing, to warn you away from 1t Billy’s mlen, as he voiced this warning, was so singularly mysterl- ous that Dolores’ curiosity was aroused Instantly and rose superior to her grief. “Why, what's the mat- ter?” she demanded. Billy joked around, as if fearful of being overheard. He lowered his | voice. “We're going to have one grand little' first-class revolution,” he " re- plied. “It's due to bust almost any night now, and when it does, the streets of San Buenaventura will run red with blood.” Dolores blanched. *“Oh, dearle me,” she quavered. “Do they still have revolutions here? You know, Mr. Geary, my poor father was killed in one.” “Yes, and the same old political gang that shot him is still on deck,” Billy warned her. “It would be high- 1y dangerous for a Ruey, man or wom- an, to show his or her nose around Buenaventurs about now. Besides, Miss Ruey, that fsn’t the worst,” he continued, for a whole-hearted 18d was Billy, who -never did anything by halves. “The city is reeking with cholera,” he declared.” “Cholera!” Dolores’ big brown eyes grew bigger with wonder and concern., “How strange the port authorities dido’t warn us at New Orleans!” “Tish! Tush! Fiddlesticks and then some. The fruit company censors evervthing, Miss Ruey, and the news doesn’t get out.” “But the port doctor just sald the passengers could go ashore.” “What's a human life to a doctor? Besides, he's on the slush-fund pay roll and does whatever the higherups tell him. You be guided by what I tell you, Miss Ruey, and do not set foot on Sobrantean soil. If you stay aboard La Estrellita, you'll have your nice clean stateroom, your well- cooked meals, your bath, and the at- tentions of the stewardess. The steam- er will be loaded in two days; then you go back to New Orleans, and by the time you arrive there I'll have been in communication by cable with Mother Jenks—I mean—" “Mother who?” Dolores demanded. “A mere slip of ‘the tongue, Miss Ruey. I was thinking of my landlady. I meant Mrs. Wilkins—" “I'm so awfully obliged to you, Mr. Geary. You're so kind, I'm sure I'd be a most ungrateful girl not to be guided by you accordingly. You wouldn’t risk any friend of yours in this térrible place, would you. ‘Mr. Geary?” “Indeed, T would not. By permmlng anybody I thought anything of to come | to this city, I should feel guilty of rder.” sure you would, Mr. Geary. theless, there is one point that is not qulte clear in my mind, and I wish you'd explain—" “Command ,me, Miss Ruey.” “If this is such a frightful place why are you so anxious, if I may em ploy such language, to hornswoggle your dearest friend, Mr. John S. Web ster, into coming down here? Do you want to kill him and get his money— or what?” Billy’s face flamed at thought of the embarrassing trap his glib tongue had led him into. He cursed himself for a star-spangled jackass, and while he was engaged in this interesting pas- time Dolores spoke agaid. “And by the way, which s 1t? Miss Wilkins or Mrs.? You've called her both, and when I reminded you she was a Miss, you agreed with me, whereas she Is nothing of the sort. She’s a Mrs. Then you blurted out something about a Mother Jenks, and ! finally, Mr. Geary, it occurs to me that for a complete stranger you are un- duly fnterested in my welfare. I'm i Dot such a goose as to assimilate your weird tales of death from disease. It { occurs to me that if your friend John S. Webster can risk DBuenaventura, 1 can also.” You—you know that old tnrnnlu ‘“‘Why I—I came| i out to warn him off the grass, too.” Dolores walked a step closer to Billy | and eyed him disapprovingly. “I'm so| | sorry I can’t believe that statement,” | ' standing she replied. “It happens that I was | by the companion-ladder when you came aboard and spoke to | the purser; when you asked bim if Mr. | was not aboard, you looked so terribly | disappointed I fe Webster was aboard, your face was| alight with eagerness nml anticipation, but when you had reason to belleve he -our books. ‘CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENTS for at time of insertion will be charged for at ONE CENT a word, and then only to those having open accounts on No ad taken for less than twenty-five cents.
