Kirk Anthony, son of a rich man, with oollege friends, gets into a fracas in a New York resort. A detective is hurt Jefterson Locke insinuates himself into the college men's party. Locke, aided by Kirk's friend Higgins, who thinks it a joke, drugs Kirk and puts him aboard a ship bound for Colon. Kirk is on the passenger list as Locke. “Broke” and without baggage, aboard the ship Kirk makes the acquaintance of !_r. and Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt. Cortlandt is in the American diplomatie service and is going to Panama on a mis- sion. In Colon Kirk, as the son of a big rallroad man, is taken up by Weeks, American consul. Kirk's father repudiates him, and Weeks casts him out as an impostor. Kirk meets Allan, a Jamaican negro canal worker out | of a job. The two are arrested by Colon police for helping to put out a fira Kirk and Allan are treated brutally in & Colon jail by young Alfarez, command- ant of police. Allan’s release is obtained by the British consul, but Weeks refuses to ald Kirk.

But those are little things; they count for nothing.” His tone gripped his bearers, and Anthony stirred uneasily, thinking this an odd way of accepting a gift. Unclasping his long, white fingers, Cortlandt held up the watch to publie view. “In payment for my poor friendship be has given me this magnificent thing of gold and jewels, the finest I ever saw. [ never counted upon such grati- tude. It is too much, and yet a man cannot refuse the gift of his friend and not seem ungracious, can he? Somewhere in the orient they have a custom of exchanging gifts. No man may accept a thing of value without making adequate return, and it bas al- ways struck me as a wise practice.” He turned full upon Kirk for the first time since he had begun speaking, and dent of Panama. Kirk's father casts him off finally, and Mrs. Cortlandt obtains for him a position on the Panama railroad under Runnels, | master of transportation. ( The girl tells him her name is “Chiqui- ' ta.” He learns later that that means only “little one.” Kirk begins his work. Mrs. Cortlandt has learned who Jefferson Locke is. Locke (real name Wellar) is a swindler ' and has disappeared. His description fits Kirk. The latter tries in vain in Panama to learn something of Chiquita and meets Alfarez again. N Kirk wins the capital prize, $15,000, in the lottery. He and Runnels make plans for advancement. The Cortlandts, have! ing turned from the older Alfarez, intend to make Senor Garavel, a banker, presi- dent of Panama. Alfurez's son, Kirk's foe, is engaged to Gertruc avel's daughter. She I8 Kirk's juita.” He meets her again at the opera through Mrs. Cortlandt’s aid. Kirk makes love to Chiquita. Edith Cortlandt, infatuated with Kirk, goes rid- ing with him frequently. “She avows her Tove for him. Thelr ride and talk are interrupted by her husband. Kirk asks Garavel for his daughter's hand. The banker wishes her to marry Alfarez to advance his own ambitions. Clifford, a man from tha States, asks Runnels about Kirlk. “Kirk “recélves permission to call on Chiquita. Young Alfarez challenges him to a duel. Kirk laughs at him. Mrs, Cortlandt asks Kirk to call on her. Cortlandt overhears his wife make love to Kirk, who tells her he loves and is en- gaged to Gertrudis. Prompted by Mrs. Cortlandt, his daughter “Kirk manages to see Chiquita. She loves him, but will obey her father, Mrs. Cort- landt blocks Kirk's and Runnels' path. Detective Williams seeks Kirk, known to him as Locke or Wellar. | During an intermission between dances at a ball Chiquita and Kirk are married, the girl returning immediately to her fa- ther's side. “I want to thank him before all of you for what he has done for me per- sonally. When I landed in Panama 1 got into trouble of the worst sort, and Mr. Cortlandt got me out. He was my bail bond, he put me up at his hotel, gave me clothes and paid my way until I got started. [ was a stranger, mind you, but he's been just like one of my own people, and if I ever succeed in doing anything really worth while it will be due to the start he gave me.” Though the words were common- place enough, they carried a sincere message, and Cortlandt saw by the faces ‘about him that the others were pleased. His own gaunt features turned more sallow than ever. The memory of what he had heard on the porch of his own house a few after- noons ago, of what he had seen at other times, of his wife's telltale be- havior on this very evening, swept over him, fanning anew the sullen emotions he had cherished ‘all these months. How far would this fellow dare to go, he wondered? He dropped his eyes to hide the fury In them. “I want to give you a little remem- brance of my own.” Anthony was speaking directly to him. *“It isn't much, but it means a good deal to me, and I hope it will have some sort of personal association for you, Mr. Cortlandt.” He drew from his pocket a plush case and took from It a very handsome thin Swiss watch with the letters “S. C.” artfully enameled upon the back. g Cortlandt accepted the gift mechan- fcally; then, as it touched his flesh, a sudden color mounted to his cheeks, only to recede, leaving them bloodless again. “I really didn't expect this,” he be- gan slowly as be rogp. “Anthony ex- | some hideous, incredible jest. aravel forbids Kirk to call on ' his voice rose a tone as he said, “I can’t let the obligation rest entirely upon me. We have been friends, An- thony, and I am going to give you something in return which I have prized highly. It would be counted of great value by some.” Once more he paused and drew his lips back in that grimace of mockery. It could no long- er be termed a smile, *“It Is this—I am going to give you—my wife. You have had her from the first, and now she is yours,” For one frightful moment there was no sound: even the men’s breathing was hushed, and they sat slack jawed, stunned, half minded to believe this Cort- landt turned away gloatingly. Kirk was the last to recover his pow- ers, but when they did revive they came with a prodigious rush. He plunged upward out of his chalr with a cry like a wounded animal, and the others rose with him, The table rock- ed, something smashed, a chair was hurled backward, The room broke into instant turmoil. Kirk felt hands upon him, and then went blind with fury, struggling in a passion too strong for coherent speech, He was engulfed in chaos. He felt things break beneath his touch, felt bodies give way before him. How or when Kirk left the room he never knew. Eventually he found him- self pinned in his chair, with Runnels’ white face close against his own and other hands upon his arms. His first frenzy quickly gave way to a sickening horror. “It's a lie! The man’'s crazy!" he cried hoarsely; then, as his compan- fons drew away from him, he rose to his feet. *“Why are you looking at me like that? 1 tell you it's a d—d lie! 1 never'— Runnels turned to the table and with shaking hand put a glass to his lips and gulped its contents. Wade and Kimble exchanged glauces, then, avoiding each other's eyes, took their hats from the hooks behind them. “Wait! Bring him back!” mumbled. say it's a lie.” swered, no one looked at him. You don't believe it?” “I'm going home, fellows. of sick,” Kimble said. Kirk l l ) One of the which was bleeding. They continued to watch Kirk as if fearful of some in- sane action, yet they refused to meet his eyes squarely. There was no sym- pathy in their faces. The knowledge of what these actions meant came to him slowly. Was It possible that his friends believed this incredible accusation? As he began to collect himself he saw his plight more clearly. His first thought had been that Cortlandt was insane, but the man’s actions were not those of a maniac. No! He actually believed— and these fellows also. He wanted to shout his innocence at them, to beat it into their beads. One by one they took thelr hats and went .out, mimbling goodnight to one another, as if intending to go home singly in order to avoid all discussion | of this thing that had fallen among |them. Runnels alone remained. “You don't believe I did—that?"
