HE HELD IN HIS HAND A LoNG HANDLED
SPADE.
out Richard noticed that, although the
veranda was now all open 10 The light
and air, the posts which supported its
roof were fitted with heavy wooden
shutters.
"These are very heavy and solid," he
said.
"Yes, you see they have great storms
here, but l am very glad they have
them" Hackett continued, as he looked
about him cautiously. "These coolies
are a bad lot. Mr.. Joosten is too easy
with them. l think, between you and
me, he is more than half afraid of them"
'That is rather bad"
Eyes, but the old lady has pluck
enough for half q dozen. She is true
through and throughput here he
comes"
Mr.. Joosten, as he Joined them, spoke
some cheerful words of greeting; but
Richard thought he detected signs that
the old man still found the affairs of the
world very troublesome. Richard won
dered a little why such a man should
have gained SO great a share Of fortunes
favors, and why upon shoulders so I'M
willing to bear any burden had been
placed SO great a one. But Joosten was
more indebted to circumstances than
even most men are, and the courage of
his wife had never failed them. Other
wise, he would long before have given up
the contest. Now, his wife helped him to
believe that in a few years more they
would be rich enough to live where and
as they pleased.
During all that day, and indeed dur
ing many days, Mr.. Joosten was occu-
pied in showing Green what work he
| would have to do and in making him ac-
| quainted with the large establishment
in all its parts. Mainly, it seemed to
Green, he showed him what difficulties
| he would have to contend with, how &C
tive and Woodworking he would have to
be; but the young man was not easily
discouraged and he foresaw no great
hardsfips. To be sure, he was conscious
that he knew nothing Of the practical
methods of growing sugarcane or MAX
ing ugar, which, as he learned at once.
was MI. Joostsn's chief business; but he
was assured by the old gentleman that
practical knowledge was not needed by
him. He would soon know enough to
see whether the small bosses shirked
| their work or not, and if he did that and
kept the accounts in good order nothing
more could be asked of him
To Green it seemed as he met the men
at work that they looked at both Mr..
Joosten and himself with i'll concealed
dislike; but he Laughed his fears away
and thought that Hackett's alarming
words had had a greater effect upon him
than they should have had.
bur before long there was unmistak'
able evidence that trouble of some sort
was brewing. Mr., Joosten seemed help
less, and Richard Green himself wa
hardly enough familiar with the mer
and the situation to easily decide what
was best for him. From the watchfu
eye of Mrs. Joosten nothing could b
hidden, and although she did not urg'
Joosten to any definite action she encour
aged them all.
"a little frmness and energy will SETTLE
it all when the time comes" she said K
Richard.
"What is it you fear them" Richard
asked her.
"Oh, l hardly know. Nothing per
haps: but no one can tell how these mel
will act"
Can anything be done in the mean
time to make us safer2H

Stood two or three people, and among
them Mrs. Joosten.
"Ah, you were successful" she SAID
quickly, as Hackett and Richard joined
them. ~ was sosafraid thatit could not
be done"
~ feel a hero" Hackett responded.
"You told me to bring him, and beholdl
ssThat was good. You shall tell me
all about it later. Well, Mr.. Green, you

deared him to her.

you could stay on with us. You would

"Goodby," echoed Hackett, II am
going home soon. l will look you mp.
Then, as he remembered that he
knew nothing of Richards future, ne
added, shouting as Richard hurried to
the boat, ''You must send me word OF
our whereabouts"
In a minute the boat was gliding
smoothly and quickly over the water
and in another Hackett and Mrs. Joos-
ten were swallowed in the darkness and
Richard never saw them afterward.
Again he was alone in the world with
strangers.
When they reached the schooner the
captain was anxiously looking for them
He was in a great hurry, and the little
boat which had brought Richard and
the others from the shore was barely in
its place before the anchor was raised,
and without waiting to lift it to the cat
head the sails were set and in the favor
