brown bronze eyes. Beautiful carnelian lips
covering teeth of pearl were not entirely new
to his experience, and heart-whole though he
had been UP to this time, he had yet been
thrilled by a musical laugh, and that low sweet
voice which is such an excellent thing in
woman. But never before had he seen all
these charms so perfectly united in one per-
son, or if united they were not combined with
the expression, that sure index without

beautiful features soon become dull and

Judge, with a mild little cough, behind his

and jerked an imaginary bell-cord
The uncle was quite right as to the state of
the nephew's heart. but Ralph Holmes would
have been unworthy such an uncle. and al
together a phenomenally unpleasant kind of
young man if the prospect of meeting the
prettiest and richest girl on the Pacific
coast did not interest him.
During the visit, Judge Davidson referred
to this charming girl, Dora Morton, again
and again, and in his quiet way he noted the
effect of his comments.
The next day Ralph Holmes was speeding
westward, and if his thoughts were divided
between q possible love and an actual hate
who that ever had good looks and heart
can blame him.

the reason, after the slightest search, leaps

light. Arches of colored lights spanned the
walks. About the foles of the trees. like
glowing vines, there were lamps of many hues.
Ropes of lanterns swayed from the branches
and the moundsof flowers on the many tables
flashed as if self luminous.
Ralph Holmes was in the hundredth heaven
of delight. His was the great honor and
greater delight of escorting Dora to dinner.

started off by himself.

Kissing sound, then something was thrown,
from what direction he could not tell, at his
feet. It was piece of paper with pebble

The foregoing was the purport of a note
handed to Ralph Holmes, minute after he
had registered at the Palace Hotel. in San
Francisco.
He was disappointed, but too much of
philosopher to take it seriously. Buena Vista.
Colonel Edward Morton's place, was, so Ralph
learned at the hotel, thirty-five miles down
the coast. He was further informed that the
Colonel, who was a director in nearly every
thing in the shape of a company in the State.
frequently drove into the city.
Recalling a hint dropped by Judge David
son, Ralph enclosed his card and the letter of
introduction in an envelope and addressed it
to the Colonel.
He had other letters which he might have
delivered to people in the city, while he was
waiting for the mysterious Albert Howard to
make himself known, but an impulse that he
made no attempt to explain to himself. urged
him on to this course, and he blindly fol-
lowed it.
While looking over The papers in the famous
court the following morning, Ralph became
aware that there was a man walking back and
forth, who eyed him in questioning way.
quick glance over the top of the paper
revealed tall military looking man of forty
five or fifty, with sandy hair, and a close
cropped beard that some might call red and
others golden. The features were regular
and even handsome, and the attire was quiet
and in excellent taste. By a cobweb chain of
gold, about his neck, there hung pair of eye
glasses mounted in the same metal. which he
swung in a half-nervous way.
Seeing that Ralph observed him, the man
came to halt, touched his hat in military
fashion, and said

Holmes?"

''Then he got my letter." said Ralph, as he
rose and took the strangers extended hand.
Eyes, and he was delighted to get it. AS
this is his daughters birthday, and they are
having fete in honor of the event at Buena
Vista, the Colonel sent me in as his repre-
sentative, with orders to have you pack I'D
and come directly out with me. I have re-
lays of horses, and let me see, it is now n.ne;
we can get to Buena Vista before one. And
will promise you such drive as is not to be
had on the continent, outside of California"
This was said in such hearty, well-bred
way that even if the proposition was not en-
tirely agreeable to Ralph Holmes, he would
have found difficulty in framing an excuse.
He did say something about calling to pay
his respects after the fete Was over, but the
doctor would hear to no excuse; indeed, he
showed that if Mr.. Holmes did not 90 back
