Edith married 2 poor man, one of those chaps who'll always stay poor and unsuccessful, but are so everlastingly fine that you love them all the more for their poverty. So Edith accepted her fiv room bungalow gladly and has wel- comed each one of her three babies with rejoicing. But. Lately John's mother has come to stay with them. John's mother is sixty, dispeptic and refuses to live alone. She's a rather dear soul, but adhesive. “All day she tags around after Edith. All day she talks—the same simple line of remintscences.

Now most of us don't mind the red urge of murder. It rather adds spice to life. But Edith is consclen- tious and she feels like a criminal because she grows irritable longing for a bit of solitude. “I feel like an unnatural brute,” she writes. “What in _the world can I do to myself?” The best thing Edith can do Is to anaesthetize her consclence—it's far too active. There's no harm in want- ing solitude. You're abnormal if you don't want It and more abnormal if you don't get it. Half our domestic troubles are due to the fact that we let sentimentality blind us to that essentlal truth. We don't leave other folks alone enough and they don’t leave us alone.

You haven't seen her eyes. But my father is a changed man. Sometimes I think ‘he is—what you call—mad!” : Our visitor spoke in a hurried, nervous tone, with a marked foreign accent, which was not at all unpleas- ing. She was a young woman, un- mistakably beautiful, of the dark Spanish type and apparently a South American. “I am Senorita Inez de Mendoza of Lima, Peru,” she introduced her- self, as she leaned forward in her chair in & high state of overwrought excltement. “We have been in this country only a short time—my father and I, with his partner in a mining venture, Mr. Lockwood. Since the hot weather came we have been staying at the Beach Inn at Atlantic Beach.” i She paused a moment and hesi- tated, as though In this strange land of the north she had no idea which vay to turn for he!p. erhaps I should see a doctor about him,” she con- sidered, doubtfully; then her emo- tions got the better of her and she went on passionately, “but. Mr. Ken- nedy, it is not a case for a doctor. 1t is a case for a detective—for some one who is more than a detective.” She spoke pleadingly now, soft, musical voice that was far more pleasing to the ear than that of the usual Spanish-American. I had heard that the women of Lima were famed for their beauty and melodious volces. Senorita Mendoza surely upheld their reputation. There was an appealing look in her soft, brown eyes, and her thin, delicate lips trembled as she hurrled on with her strange story. “I never saw my father in such a state before” she murmured. “All he talks about is the ‘biz fish'— whatever that may mean—and the curse of Mansiche. At times his eves are staring wide open. Some- times I think he has a violent fever. He is excited—and seems to be wast- ing away. He seems to see strange visions and hear volces. Yet I think he is worse when hesis quiet in a dark room alone than when he is down in the lobby of the hotel in the midst of the crowd.” A sudden flash of fire seemed to light up her dark eves. “There is a woman at the hotel. t0o0.” she went on, “a woman from Truxilo.

The bix fish or pefe grande, as T remember it was the name given by the natives to one of the greaetst burfed treasures about the time of Pizarro's conquest. If I remember correctly, Mansiche was the great cacique, or something of that sort—the ruler in northern Peru at that time. He is sald to have left a cruse on any native who ever divulged the whereabouts of the treagure, and the curss was also to fall on any Spaniard who might dis- cover it.” For more than an hour Kennedy delved into the archeological lore in the library. Then he rejoined me at the laboratory, and after a hasty bite of dinner we hurried down to the station. That evening we stepped off the train at Atlantic Beach to make our way to the Beach Inn. The resort was just springing into night life, as the millions of incandescent lights flooded it with a radlance which we could see reflected in the sky long before our train arrived. There was something intoxicating about the combination of the bracing salt air and the gay throngs seeking pleasure. Instead of taking the hotel bus, Kennedy decided to stroll to the inn along the boardwalk. We were just about to turn into the miniature park which separated the inn from the walk when we noticed a wheel chair coming in our direction. In it were & young man and & woman of well preserved middle age. They had evidently been enjoying the ocean 840 | breeze after dinner, and the sound of music had drawn them back to the hotel. ‘We entered the lobby of the hotel just as the first number of the even- ing concert by the orchestra was finishing. Kennedy stood at the desk for a moment while Senorita Mendoza was being paged, and ran his eyes over the brilliant scene. In a minute the boy returned and led us through the maze of wicker chairs to an alcove just off the hall which later in the evening would be turned into a ballroom. On a wide settee the senorita was talking with animation to a tall, clean-cut young man in evening clothes, whose face bore the tan of a sun much stronger than that at Atlantic Beach. He was unmistak- ably of the type of American sol- dler of fortunme. In a deep rocker before them sat & heavy-set. man whose plercing black eyes beetled forth from under bushy eyebrows. He was rather distinguished looking, and his close-cropped hair and mus- tache set him off as & man of affairs and conseguence in his own country. As we approached Senorita Man- doza rose quickly. I wondered how she was going to get over the awk- of water, one-half cup heavy whipping | ward situation of introducing us, for surely she did not intend to let her father know that she was employ- ing a detective. She did it most cleverly, with a significant look at Kennedy which he understood. “Good evening. I am delighted to see you,” she s-eeted. Then, turn- ing to her father, she introduced Craig. “This {s" Prof. Kennedy,” she explained, “whom I met at the recep- tion of the Hispano-American Society. You_remember I told you he was so much interested in our Peruvian ruins” 3 Don Luls’ -eyes scemed fairly to 1§ The Evil By Arthur B. Reeve. The Star’s Week End Fiction D.

They were prominent eyes, staring, and I could not help_studying the; ““Then, Senor Kennedy,” he exclaim- ed, “you know of our ruins of Chan- Chan of China—those wonderful places—and have heard the legend of the peje grande?' His eyes by that time were almost starting from their sockets, and 1 noticed that the pupils were dilated almost to the size of the iris. “We must sit down,” he went on. “and talk about Peru.” The soldler of fortune also had risen as we approached. In her soft musical volce the senorita now in- terrupted her father. “Prof. Kennedy, let me introduce you to Mr. Lockwood, my father's partner in a mining project which brings us to New York." As Kennedy and I shook hands with the young mining engineer I felt that Lockwood was something more to her than a mere partner in her fa- ther's mining venture. I:JVe drew up chairs and joined the el Kennedy sald something about min- Ing, and the very word “mine” seemed to excite Senor Menduza still further. “Your American financiers have lost millions in mining in Peru,” he exclaimed excitecly, taking out a b«autll"'ully chased gold cigarette case, “"but we are going to make more milllons than ever vreamed of, because we are simply golng to mine for the products of centuries of labor already dona, for the great treasure of Truxillo.” e opened the cigarette case and handed It about.

Evidently she did not dare let her father get very far out of her sight. We sat for a few moments smok- ing and chatting with Lockwood. What _is the curse of Mansiche?" asked Kennedy at length. “Oh, 1 don’t know.” returned Lock- wood, impatiently flicking the ashes from his cigar, as though such stories had no interest for the prac- tical mind of an engineer. “Some old superstitution.
