CHAPTER III.

Picture TO yourself, if the pigments
On your palette are bright enough, a
landscape blazing with primary colors; !;
stainless skies of vivid blue, n dazzling
ribbon of white surf, red sandstone
cliffs, and, in the foreground, a field of
cloth of gold embroidered lavishly
with millions of yellow poppies.
Here, "a hours later, I found the
sanctuary, the home of the Gerards, q
comfortable, red-tiled cottage, encom-
passed with broad verandas, lawns,
strawberries and groves of cypress and
cucalypti.
The faithful Greek, Demetrlus.- re-
cefved me. MY nrsr impressions OF
this remarkable man are worth record
ing. In his physical aspect L could find
no clew to his character. He stood be-
fore me a colossus, impassive and i'm
pressive, reminding me, absurdly
enough, of the Matterhorn as saw it
first from Zermatt. How sharply that
grim peak priclted my fancy! And yet
its profile alone was visible. The love
iiness of the lower slopes, the glory OF
gorge and glacier. the horror OF
with shadow, obscured by distance. I
knew from hearsay what lay between
me and the summit; but between the
Greek and me, between experience and
inexperience, was an abyss not lightly
to be bridged.
"Glad to see You, sir" he said, re-
spectfully. There was no trace of n
foreign accent. "I had my masters
telegram, and your room is prepared" !"
He led the way to comfortable
apartment, simply but admirably fur
nished, and began to unstrap my valise.
'Sit down." said, abruptly. 81 have
something of Importance to tell you"
I briefly recited my adventure with
Burlington. Demetrius listened atten-
lively, his lower lip protruding, his
heavy eyelids lowered. When I had
finished he refrained from comment,
but inquired politely as to the state
of his masters health. 1 shook my
head.
He is extremely nervous; almost
completely broken Down"
The Greek touched his own grizzled
locks.
Neither master nor man can stand
1t much longer" he said, gloomily.
would you like to see Mrs. Gerard
She is in the parlor."
I washed fa e and hands, and De-
metrius brushed from my clothes the
dust of southern California.
How long, Demetrius, have you
known Burlington?"
Twenty years."
AT the name q sinister CLEAN illu-
mined his heavy face. That he hated
the enemy from the bottom of his heart
was plain to be seen.
How was it." 1 continued, that he
entirely escaped suspicion? I did not
like to press the point with Mr.. Gerard" J"
against Cinnamon. Mr. Burlington was
editor of the Black Gulch Banner. He
said at the time that the murder
couldn't possibly have been committed
by a white man. We hanged Fong, a
peddler of garden-stuff."
"Horrible!"
"An easy DEATH" said Demetrius.
I'm sorry they didn't hang me. The
life I've led for the last few years is not
worth living"
Its the life of your choice" 1 re-
piled, bluntly.
He spread out his hands, betraying
for the first time the foreigner, and

much it accounted for, physically and
