Senior Roblado has no longer his
hand upon the throttle valve control
ling his emotions, which, up to this
moment. have been kept in wonder
full control. considering his fiery ma
tionality. The barrier is swept down
by that fierce rush of the tide, and as
he Kisses across the table, his usually
suave ~countenance takes on the ex-
preston OF a fend.
The crisis Is at hand.
Thanks to his long training. Jack
knows just how to meet such an emer'
gency. He has one elbow resting on
the table, and supports his head care
lessiy with his hand.
What might that be, senor?' he
smiles.
Revenge. A Spaniard never forgets
an Injury. | have lost a fortune, 1t
may be. but In return | mean to have
your life
With these words the fiery Castil-
an suddenly produces a revolver, and
presents 1t at the head of his COM
panion. II Is so close that Jack can
look into the chambers and see the
leaden messengers snugly ensconced,
and awaiting the signal to go forth.
He sees something more.
Aha! you do not finch. You are a
man OF nerve; but that shall not save
you. See, the clock yonder is about to
strike the half-hour. When it sounds
shall fire. This day which has seen
the charming Jessie a wife shall also
see her a widow" and his manner de-
clares that regardless of consequences
Roblado is BEN on revenge.
"Ah, senior, you have been in Ameri-
ca. in Cuba, and learned of their
ways; but there is n thing you seem
to have forgotten which no cowboy in
Texas ever omits-that is, to pull
back the BANNER of your gun before
you shoot"
The Spaniard gives a cry of bitter
chagrin. and draws back his arm to
remedy the fault. when Jacks foot
flies up from the side of the table and
the pointed toe of his boot coming in
contact with Roblado'c wrist, the in
Simultaneous result is a revolver whirl-
Ing across the apartment.
A snarl OF rage from the senior.
"Sit you down, sir" says Jack, calm.

forever. Aha! Senior Jack, who laughs
now? 1t is perhaps my turn. Thus
am | revenged. | was a fool TO think
of violence since there is a better way
through the heart. See, with your
permission | pick up my discarded
firearm and return it to my POCKET.
| would not injure a hair of your head
here; but If you dare to follow me
to the land beyond the sea, the hour
may come when the insult you have
offered me to-day will be wiped out
in blood, sir. Now, | am going, and
If we never meet again, you can &C.
casionally remember, as in a dream,
the charming Scotch lassie who, on
your wedding night. came into and
went out of your life forever. Adios,
Senior jack" and with his mocking
laughter floating into Travers' ears,
Roblado bows himself out, leaving the
American still seated at the table.

of Edinburgh Castle as outlined
against the soft southern sky; but his
thoughts are hardly connected with
that glorious masterpiece.
To Cuba!
This fair Scotch lassie whom a
strange freak of Fate has thrown in
his way in such a manner that their
life-hnes have crossed will soon have
gone over the broad Atlantic to the
Gem of the Antilles, where the ter
rible Yellow Jack turks and revolution
is in the air.
His cigar, which he has smoked me-
chanically, though vigorously, at
times, becomes exhausted, and as he
losses the stump out of the window.
Jack springs to his feet.
To Cuba!
Yes, around the world, if necessary
Will he follow. The greater the diff
ficulties that arise in his path the
more resolved he becomes to accom-
plish his honorable purpose.
II 1t lies in the power Of mortal
man, Jessie Cameron must be his. The
law has given her to him already. but
that counts for nothing without her
heart, her love.
1t is long after five when he leaves
the hotel, and, accompanied by the
ever-faithful Celestial, walks along
Princes street.
An interview with the head Of the
police force is what Jack seeks. He
desires to have the elements of law
and order on his side in this struggle
against the schemer.
When he has acquainted this shre.d
gentleman with the facts, and explain
ed what he desires, he soon secures
the services Of a private detective of
great repute.
The orders given are to keep posted
on all Senior Roblado does. and report
often to Jack.
The night comes on slowly.
Jack has dined and feels that, like

away again, since | believe you will
come to your senses and realize there
are better ways of getting even than
by murder"
A sparkle Of cunning flashes into the
eyes of the don; he has suddeny re-
membered that, after all, when the
game appears lost, he has a winning
card up his sleeve.
The girl!
She is in his power-she believes
in his affection for her, and will do
what he says.
You seem to run this game as you
see fit, Senior Jack. Tell me what you
propose doing in the way of terms"
he says sullenly.
"Of course you realize that I hold
the fort. My identity has been
proven, and | am now in a position to
claim the whole estate. A portion
will eventually fall to the lady in the
case, but some time must elapse be-
fore this can be done. In the mean.
time, senior, | would like to contribute
to the support of-my wife"
The %Spaniard smiles coldly. AS he
realizes the power of his one trump
card, his old cunning returns, though
now reinforced by a desperate hatred
for this man, who has played with him
as a cat does with a mouse. He can
never forgive such humiliation.
ITO what extent does the senior
mean to go?"
Anything reasonable until she
comes into her own. AS | am forbid
den to see her by the terms of our
agreement, | thall have to deal
through you, as her agent"
viii you draw me a check for ten
thousand pounds now?"
II will-not. That sort of game
don't work, my dear senior. A thou
sand would see you through in good
shape until matters can be arranged.
This is no Matchmaking game
Did | say ten thousand? meant
twenty, or it might be thirty" pursues
Roblado, vindictively.
You jest, surely?"
"Ah, you refuse. she shall know
how much you care for her comfort.
Ten thousand-a mere pittance, sir
a crumb from your abundance. But |
do not depend upon your generosity to
live. Por Dios! l have other means.
we can wait until she comes into her
own-yes, wait in the sun-kissed isle
beyond the sea, where the cold winds
never freeze the warm blood of a
Spanish gentleman"
Jack hardly hears the last of his
chatter.
One sentence has riveted his atten-
ton, and caused him considerable
alarm.
You speak of quitting Great Brit.
ain-of going to the isle across the
sea. Surely you do not mean Cuba,
senor?" he asks.
why not? My interests lie there,
and my first wife is buried in Havana.
Yes, | surely mean Cuba" retorts Rob
lado, glad to see he has given his
opponent a thrust.
That fever-racked, war-tossed coun-
try! Take her there at this time! You
must not"
Senior, | smile. Am I your vassal
that you should use such language to
me? | go where | please, and when
| please. A Spanish gentleman does
not a k his orders from a Yankee"
But Jessie; | will not permit"
You cannot prevent her accom-.
panying me of her own free will"
She is my wife"
I'm name only. You yourself have
agreed never to exercise any Of the
rights OF a husband unless she so
wills. You dare not deny it. There
is no law that can prevent her trav-
cling with her father and her legal
guardian. We sail from this country
and she disappears from Your sight

CHAPTER VIII.
Left in the Lurch at GLASGOW.

The Spaniard has had his revenge.
Jack never moves for some minutes
after being left alone in his room. His
gaze is still fixed at the bold picture

News from his agent Is what he
awaits, and meanwhile rides round the
city on the top of tram cars. About
nine he enters the hotel and finds a
message awaiting him. OF course. 1t
is from his ~agent-written in pencil
and in a hurry.
They are just leaving for Glasgow.
Will go by same train. Follow me and

flee IN time.
He has his tickets purchased, and
enters a carriage with All Sin and the
luggage just as the prompt signal is
given and the train moves.
The ride is uneventful.
Reachlng Glasgow, a cab is taken
to the hotel, and Jack seeks rest. hay.
ing left word in the office that any
message arriving is to be brought to
him at once, for he believes the mis-
sion of the artist to this city on the
Clyde is to sail on an Anchor Line
steamer for New York, whence Cubs
may be reached.
Another day and no word.
How heavily time drags!

short pilgrimages abroad, for it Is DOE.
sible that those he seeks escape him.
In Jamaica street he surveys the
crowd and wanders into Argyle street,
his eye ever on the watch for the
face that is always in his mind.
Among such crowds the chances of
seeing a particular person are slender
indeed.
All Sin says nothing; but he, too,
keeps a bright lookout.
And at noon no word.
Jack grows restless. Can it be DOS
sible his shrewd agent has lost track
of the game, outwitted by Spanish
cunning?
makes inquiries himself.
There is a party, consisting of two
gentlemen and the same number Of
ladies, who have secured staterooms
under the name of Hamilton; but he
can find out nothing about them. or
when they expect to come aboard.
1t looks, then, as though he will
have to come prepared to watch the
gang plank, and, if he discovers those
he seeks, 60 aboard himself.
At the hotel a note awaits him.
Smithers is awake and on the track.
He bids Jack be ready for action in
case a voyage is the next thing on the
program.
This seems significant of action.
That evening, as Jack enters tho
dlnlng-room, a gentleman hastily
leaves whom he has not noticed. and
who seems rather anxious to avoid
recognition. which is not at all
strange seeing that it is Howard Spen-
Ger.
Jack has actually been under the
same roof as those he seeks for almost
twenty hours, and yet never once
dreamed of the fact.
1t draws near ten o'clock.
Shadows have lallen. Clouds OBJ.
scure the sky and the night promises
to be a dark one.
Jack has decided to drive to the
dock OF the steamer and carry out his
plan. All Sin has charge of the lug
gage and waits in the cab for his mas
ter. who fingers to exchange a lew

A Wonderful Body Of Specimen Ore

Being Sacked.

The Montana mine is again bring
ing forth evidence to prove that it is
the richest and probably the biggest
mine in Tonopah. Mr.. Knox, on be-
ing asked for particulars of the
strike, stated that the night shift on
Wednesday broke into a streak of the
the richest ore yet found in the mine.
1t is fifteen inches wide, lying against
four feet of high grade ore on the
hanging wall of the Mcdonald vein.
One shot had broken down two mine
car loads and selected specimens from
this assayed 1929 ozs. silver and 1872
ozs gold per ton and 2482 ozs. silver
and 10. ozs. gold per ton. The ore
is heavy black sulphide with ste
phanite and the stock is plastered and
studded with the metal. The McDon-
aid vein on this level is over twenty
five feet wide and was cut in the
north crosscut, 1876 feet from the
shaft, the present discovery having
been made in the east drift $50 feet
from the crosscut. Apart from this
the mine generally is looking better
than it ever has before. The usual
shipments are being made but there
is a considerable accumulation of
sacked ore awaiting teams.
