DOT.” In less than fifteen minutes they were ready, and she took her seat in the cockpit, every nerve tingling for the coming fight. It was twenty minutes to 12 when Mr. Forbes walked into the telegraph | . office and sent his wire north, the message that stopped Lawton Carruth- | » ers’ game, and kept the control of the railroad concession in the hands of Forbes' company. He went back to her down the old street to the water front. She knew the place where her brother made his landings and had guided Forbes to! it. Her hood had fallen back from her head. Both hands reached out to him swiftly, “Did you get there in time?” “We must get back to the island,” she began, but Forbes gave a little un- steady laugh, and drew her close in his arms. “You said I was just a big brother, didn’t you? Am I now, Dot, amn I? I'm going back with you tonight and tell Nat I've stolen you for good, you plucky, trueblue sweetheart.” Dorothy closed her eyes as his arms crushed her close. The great winged bird boat waited for them, the bells pealed out their message.

She felt vaguely ' superior and motherly toward this stocky, tanned youngster just fresh from South America. Constance had told her to take care of him, and when Dorothy took care of a young man she rarely left him heart, head, or will power. “I love to walk down through the palm grove in the moonlight,” she went on, tripping ahead of him under the great shadowy fronds. “Don't you like the sea at night, Mr. Forbes?” “Rather. After months in the An- i des I can't get enough of the water. | It was bully of old Nat to ask me here ifor the holidays. i bound You know I was north to Washington. No thought of loafing at all. Wonder why he did it.” “I know.” She hesitated, and held aside a mass of shrubbery heavy with fragrant blossoms. “He had a letter from Mrs. Carruthers., She's Nat's second cousin, and married to that queer little Lawton Carruthers. I think he's a lawyer in New York. Anyway, he's made scads of money since she married him. And Adele, that Mrs, C., told Nat you were bound this way, and for him to waylay you ! i for the Christmas party here on the | island. What's the matter?” Forbes had stopped dead short, his head thrust a bit forward like a fight- ing bull, his eyes sparkling in the darkness as she looked up at him, “What is it?"” “Nothing special,” he returned short- | ly. “Only you've saved my life. Where is the nearest cable station?” “Across the bay at Tampa. It's a three-hour trip in the motor boat, ! Why?” “I've got to reach it tonight. Listen, I've known you just three days, haven't 1? gone mad tonight if I tell you that I never intended staying here more I had to get up North to keep this same little Lawton Carruth- ers from making a straight steal on our concessions down there in Peru. Our option expires the 20th at 9 a. m, I wrote Wachington the day I came here, telling them to get an extension of time until I could get there. I din't knew any one besides ourselves krew cf the plans to put the railroad througi: Ferez to Qualtipoco. Can you it it :xeans now to me to hear —this—to know that Carruthers i a march on us, had his wife got nerr old Nat even to pull me o my course and stay over here while lie steals the thing right under my nose. Would you mind telling Nat that I had to take his boat. I've run one before, up at Newport last sum-| mer. him"— But Dorothy stood and looked at him gravely. “I want to go with you.” “It's impossible. I couldn’t be”— “You couldn’t be bothered with me. I know that's what you were going to say. But I'm going. I told Nat I'd If youll go back and tell look after you, and we'll make sixty | miles an hour by air, fifty by water. ! I don't mind it one bit. We'll run over the bay, send your message and get back. I want to go, Allan.” He laughed shortly, ran his fingers through his thick, crisp hair, and took her outstretched hand. “You witch. You've held me here with your island holiday enchantment. Perhaps it's right for you to share this | with me. But do you know what it means, Dorothy; do you? Do you know why I've stayed on here?” “You hurt my hand. Let's run be- fore we're missed.” She pulled her hand away from his clasp and ran like & child over the hard silvery sands. Forbes reached it first, and wakened the boy. He stum- bled out, hitching up his suspenders, and walted for the message Dorothy wrote on a scrap of paper torn from Forbes' note book. She eald: “Come to Tampa with A, F. It's all right.
