To the astonishment of his world,
Win Shackleton announced his inten-
ton of retaining The Trumpet, and
conducting it, himself, on the lines laid
down by his father. There was a slight
shifting of positions, in which some
were advanced and one or two heads
were unexpec tedly Topped off and
thrown in the basket. The new ruler
took control with a decision that
startled those who had regarded him.
as typical millionaire's son. The men
on the paper, who had seen the time of
their lives coming the managership
of feeble and inexperienced boy, were
awakened from their dreams by feeling
hand on the reins as tight as that of
Jake Shackleton himself. Win had
ideas. Mrs. Willers was advanced to
the managership of the Womans page,
into which she swept triumphant, with
Miss PEBBLES, the young woman of the
"Foibles and Fancies" column, in her
wake. Barry Essex was lifted to a

Here he worked hard, for Win per-

was with Essex, as it had been often
before in his varied career. Things had
fallen together exactly as they shou
for the furthering of his designs. It
would take long wooing to win over

dressed and evidently not of the world
of bonanza millions. He wished that
he knew her. now that he had made
up his mind to spend some months in
San Francisco, paying court to the
heiress who would make him such an
admirable wife, and in whose society
time hung so heavily on his hands.
Maripesa excused herself and hur-
ried away. She was angry and con-
fused. 1t seemed to her she had done
nothing but be rude and obstinately
stupid, while the cold and composed
older woman had eyed her with wary
attentiveness What did Mrs. Shackle-
ton think she had meant? She felt that
the widow had not, for a moment,
abandoned the scheme of sending her
away. Descending the wide steps in
the early dark, the girl realized that
the woman she had just left was not
going to be beaten from her purpose
by what appeared a girls unreasona-
BILE caprice.
A man coming up the steps brushed
by her, paused for moment, and then
mechanically raised his hat In the
glean of the lamps, held aloft at the
top of the flight she recognized the
thin face and eye glasses of Win
Shackleton. She did not return the sa-
lutte, as3 it was completely unexpected,
and from the foot of the stairs she
heard the hail door bang behind him.

knew that all the generosities and char

by their mother. His childish memory
was stocked by recollections of her
urging the advantage of the bestowal

son, association and charity. 1t was she
who had aved Jake Shackleton from

small nut between thumb and finger.
This she nibbled gingerly as they
passed under the odorous, dark shade
of the Expresses Benito spread trail
of shells behind him, dragging his feet
in silent happiness, his eyes fixed on the
brilliant prospect of sunlit green that
filled in the end of the vista like
drop-curtain.
AS they emerged from the cypress
shadows the lawns and shrubberies of
the park lay before them radiantly
vivid in their variegated greens. The
scene suggested picture in its mo-
tionless beauty, the sunlight sleeping
on stretches of shaven turf where the
peacock strutted, the red dust of the
drive unstirred by wind or wheel Rich
earth scents mingled with the perfume
of the winter blossoms. delicate breaths
of vicIets from beneath the trees, spices
exhaled by belated roses still bravely
blossoming in November, and now and
then a whjff of the acrid, animal odor of
the eucalyptus.
Following pathways, now damp be-
meath the shade of melancholy spruce
and pine, now hard and dry between
velvety lawns, they came out on
large circular opening. Here Mariposa
sat down on a bench, with her back
to sheltering mass of fir and hemlock.
the splendid sunshine pouring on her.
Benito, with his bag in his hand,
trotted off to the grassy slope opposite
where custom has ordained that little
boys may roll about and play. He had
hardly settled himself there to the fur
ther enjoyment of his nuts when an
other boy appeared and made friendly
overtures, with his eyes on the bag.
Mariposa could not hear them, but she
could see the first advance and Benito's
somewhat wary eyings of the stranger
\ In few moments the formalities Of
introduction were over, and they were
both lying on their stomachs on the
grass kicking gently with their toes,
while the bag stood between them.
Mariposa had intended to read, but
her book lay unopened in her lap. The
sun in California is something more
than warming and cheerful. 1t is me-
dicinal. There is some unnamed balm
in it's light that soothes the tormented
spirit and rests and revivifies the
body. 1t is at once. stimulant and a
sedative. 1t seems to have sucked up
healing breaths from the resinous for
ests inland and to be exhaling them
again upon those who cannot seek
their aid.
AS the soothing rays enveloped her.
Mariposa felt the strain of mind and
body relax and sense of rest suffuse
her. She stretched herself into a more
reposeful attitude. one arm thrown
along the back of the bench. Her book
lay beside her on the seat. To keep
, the binding light from her eyes she
tilted her hat forward till the shade of
it's brim cut cleanly across the middle
of her face.
Her mouth, which was plainly in
view, had the expression of suffering
that is acquired by the mouths of those
who have been forced to endure sud-
denly and silently. Her thoughts re-
verted to Essex and the scene in the
cottage. She wondered If the smart
and shame Of 1t would ever lessen-if
she would ever see him again, and what
he would say. She could not imagine
him as anything but master of himself
