like the present. Randolph put his protes-
tations to the test.
''By the way, Diego, there is a little
thing I might get you to do for me-" he
said. He was thinking, while he spoke,
what a rich adventure this would be to
tell Miss Smythe-BroWne, and how she
would congratulate him upon his shrewd-
ness. He had missed her greatly these
last few days, and the flowers he had
sent hef had been promptly returned
to him; but he was too busy then to find
out whose blunder 1t was. for blunder
he did not doubt it had been.
Diego's honest face beamed with good
nature; he was anxious to be of what
ever service he might to his benefac-
tor.
There is a sort of box your wife has
an old-fashioned chest, you know. Would
you care to sell it to me?"
ooh, certainly, senor-the old chest her
mother gave her? I would make you a
present of it, If you"
'tOh, really, Diego" interrupted Ran
doIph, unable to conceal his eestacy-

what you think it is worth"
But" Diego continued, ''the senior

to make you present of it, if I had
known you wanted it-but it is sold?'

dumbfounded; 'when?"

was about Diego's many virtues And
Diego is getting so prosperous, too. He
is now half owner of brand new fish

cealing the fact that he himself was the
other owner He even arranged a day,
during the absence of the peluquera,
when the three of them should take
sail as far as Lovers Point.
Everything went off exactly as it had
been ordered, and Randolph's COM
placency knew no bounds. It was very
comfortable to be SO good; it was also
very sweet to watch the happy lovers in

under the influence of the beautiful new
boat Randolph's7 mind reverted to Miss
Smythe-B Browne, feeling that after all
there's nothing half SO sweet in life as
loves young cream. To be sure, he
had not seen her quite SO frequently the

in hand was satisfactorily settled, he
would follow Diego's eXa4 aple, and make

And he lapsed into his chronic COM

The role of good angel suited him adj
mirably, and he wondered why he had
never essayed to play it before. He ac-
cepted Diego's gratitude magnanimously,
adding: Never mind, nay good fellow

a favor of you some day
And Diego's prompt, Anything, any
thing, senior, within my poor powers you
may command made Randolph feel that
virtue really ought to be its own re-
ward.
A week after the wedding, at which
he had been guest of honor, POSTMASTER
and animating spirit, Randolph, after as
surfing Diego OF his purely disinterested
friendship and appreciation Of his many
excellent qualities, made him sole owner
of the fishing smack The poor fellow
wept tears of joy on his gorgeous we'd
ding waistcoat, reiterating the hope that
he might some day be able to prove
