Congressman Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, puts it this way:
"a man does not have to be an idiot
in order TO be patriot.
"a man is not traitor because he
is opposed to doing those things which
jeopardize the life Of the republic.
AN American is not a pessimist be-
cause he is unwilling to see his coun-
try adopt as settled policy the polit-
ical principles OF Alexander, Caesar
and Napoleon.

American flag, like the mantle of char
ity, will be made to cover multitude

So on Wednesday Rob found him
self on board the "Vigilancia'' with his
mother and Mr.. Brown to see him of.
Mrs Cleverdale could not, help crying
{ aNlittle. but she laughed gayly imme-
diately after. and the memory that Rob
took away with him was his mother
and Mr.. Brown laughing away as II
tney enjoyed the occasion. This helped
Rob very much.
On Wednesday the big ship left her
dock and steamed away.
It was in the winter time, and Rob,
closely mufned in big ulster, stood on
the deck watching the sights as they
went down the East river, and down
the bay. After the panorama of the
passing docks he became interested in
the grand view of the harbor, the Sta

leaving his native land, perhaps for
ever, he. waved aside the sorrow, and
told himself that soon he would be a
man with money enough to come back

Captain Baker was very kind to Rob,
and, with the exception Of few days

AT Rio, Captain Baker introduced
him to the captain Of a ship of the
Royal Mail Line, which was to go to
Buenos Ayres. This was the final step
Of Rob's long journey, and it was here
that his troubles were to commence.
There were few passengers on board,
and most Of these were natives of Bra,

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of THE EN-
QUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand II
lust the same as though they had read 1t
all from the beginning, we here give a
synopsis of that portion Of it which has
already been published:
Tom Broxton comes to Broxton Hall
from college, having been summoned to
his father, who is dying. Mr.. Matthews,
Toms guardian, passing "Mother" Spill
mans cottage, drops bag OF papers. The
next morning Matthews comes to look for
one of the papers which have been lost.
He does not find it. but Jimmy Martin, a
gardener, soon after brings it to Mother"
Spillman, She pledges Martin to secrecy
and hides the paper in the back OF an old
chair. Tom Broxton visits the room in
which his father lies, finds some flowers
on an easel and among them an unfin-
ished letter from his father to himself.
Through ground glass doors he sees fig
ure tampering with the papers contained
in his fathers desk. Before he can enter
the room the figure disappears. Approach
ing his fathers body lying in his coffin,
Tom looks for seal ring worn on the nm
ger, but it is not there. Olivia Matthews
arranges with her father for garden par
ty at Broxton Hall on her eighteenth
birthday. Her father, riding past the
Hall, stops there and sees the mysterious
figure standing over Colonel BroXton's
desk. After the lawn party Tom Brox-
ton and his guardian sit at the Hall talking
about it, and Mr.. Matthews proposes that
Tom, after being graduated at college,
shall go abroad to study and declares that
the Hall must be sold, to both of which
propositions Tom demurs.

Tom said "Of course" with twinge
