Drifting through the| a startling seatence. “Mr. Warne,” spoke a voice, “you| sent for ma for legai advice. As your! lawyer [ am bcund to tell you the| truth. You are on the rocks.” | There was a low murmurirg re-| sponse. Then the lawyer went on “Let us not disguise the fact, for as| [ have told you an inspection of your| books shows that you are insolvent. | The world thinks you wealthy. [a} reality, with the encrmous debts you! ywe, if thrown into b ruptey ate would not pay fifty cents on the dollar.” An exclamation of desperate help- lessness reached Ned's appalled ears “My advice is to call ia your cred- itors, offer a compositicn, gat two years’ time for the payment of the same, and by hard work you may pull’ the business through.” Ned arose to his feet in tonishment. Bankrupi—the posed by banks and the busi munity to possess a million this was ghastly! A sensitive lush of shame passed over Ned's face as he realized that he had unconsciously played the part of the eavesdropper Then, a set look in nis ey2s, he walked out of the place. “Duty!” he breathed hoarsely, once out in the street. And them: “Poor Lillie!” Ned wmced as he realized that he must aim a blow at the business stand- ing of the father of the girl he loved. His duty to the agency was plain and clear, however. He wrote out the | facts of his discovery. “Whew!" ejaculated his manager, he inspected the report “We w end this out generally till we bave made a closer investigation.

Bring me the old dapple gray. He has carried me through many trou- bles.” When the vaquern came hack with the gray, old Migzuel was waiting. He had his sword—a reiic of his army days—ready to make fast to the great gilver-garnished saddle, for this was an errand to clear his henor of an in- gult. Fearing a tragedy, Lais followed him at a discreet distance. The old man galloped hofly to towa and rode his horse straight into the pawnshop and banged on the counter with his saber. “Come out!” he cried. Cohn appearsd ar the inner door, smirking and rubbing his hands. “What's this insult?” demanded old Mignel, throwing the hit of paper down cn the counter Cochn picked it up rremulousiy “Yom sar [ owe you one thousand pesos,” sa:d the old don sternly. “Well,” said Cohn, shrugging his shoulders. ‘Mr Paacho he left the note.” He hastened to the safe and hrought our poor Pancho's clumsy forgery. Luis, who had quietly entered after his father took the forged note and read. “This savs,” papa. he announced, “that have promised to pay Pancho Warren one thousand pesos. Mr. Cohn savs that Pancho brought the paper in here and zor the money.” The truth d ed on old Miguel, and it was an anary red dawn. His eves blazed, but he was toe thorough- ly a gentleman to denounce the for- gery there. Pancho shounld answer to him privately, first. With Luis following, but not daring to say a word. Miguel rode on down Main street. Near the old Bella Union, Miguel saw the now horseiess Pancho sauntering blithely along— ogling the passinz senoritas. Without a shade of embarrassment, Pancho ceremoniously saluted the in- dignant old z=ntleman. “Good day to you, my compadre” he said with a flourtsh. “It gives me ten thousand pleasures to see you so well.” Old Mignel grimly dismounted and threw the reins over the head of the gray. Luis noticed that he kept well in toward the side of the horse where the saber was handy. With a haughty and terrible look, old Miguel brought the note out from the pocket of his bolero. Pancho’s . face lighted up as he recognized it. “Oh, yes,” he said cheerfully, “that @y gote.” The old don’s form grew straighter and taller and his voice was very stern, “Dog!” he cried, “do you mean you' | have forged my name?” Pancho looked injured. “Why, compadre,” he said plaintives' I3 this a way to speak to your compadre”’ “Cobn says you have forged my name. If he les I shall kill him,” said old Miguel. “Yes, certainly, [ wrote your name.” said Pancho still fn an infured voice. “What else could I do. [ was piaying faro in the Pico House and [ lost my money. Then [ lost my horse. Ex- cited with the play, [ then said, ‘T give the name of my noble compadre, Senor Miguel Gareia.'” Pancho paused impressively “What do you suppose the pig of an American said” 0Old Miguel made a gesture as one | who would say “How should [ know”™ “He said: cias." " The old man's face darkened. “Well™ he demanded. “Well,” said Pancho, hunching 1p his shoulders. “you see. compadre, how could [ let the honor of the Gar- cias suffer? [ wen® out and made a note and gZot eight hundred pesos of Cohn and took them and flung them down before the dog of an Amertean pig to show him if the name of Garcia should be lanzhed at.” Old Miguel impulsively put cut his hand and zripoed earmestly the hand of Pancho. “My friend and my eompadre.” ne ‘To hell with the Gar | said. “from the depths of my heart [ thank you.
