CHAPTER XII.

CHAPTER XII.
HE winter season at the Hotel
del Coronado had been unusu-
ally gay that year, and the
young lady who wrote the So
ciety news in diary form for one of
the San Francisco papers had held
forth at much length upon the hotels
''unbr0ken succession of festivities" E"
She had also noted that prominent
among the newest arrivals had been
Mr. Nat Ridgeway of San Francisco.
who had brought down from the city
aboard his elegant and sumptuously
fitted yacht Petrol a jolly party, COM
posed largely of the seasons debu-
tantes. To be mentioned in the latter
category was Miss Josie Herrick.
whose lavender coming out tea at the
beginning of the season was still
subject Of comment among the gOs-
sips-and all the rest of it.
The Petrol had been in the harbOr
but a few days, and on this evening a
dance was given at the hotel in honor
Of her arrival 1t was to be a cotillOn.
and Nat Ridgeway was going to lead
with Josie Herrick. There had been
coaching party to Tia Juana that day,
and Miss Herrick had returned to the
hotel only in time to dress. By $50
she emerged from the prOcess-which
had involved her mother, her younger
sister, her maid and one of the hotel
chambermaids-a dainty. firm corseted
little body, all tulle, white satin and
high piled hair. She carried Marechal
Mel roses, ordered by wire from Mon
terey, and about an hour later. when
Ridgeway gave the nod to the waiting
musicians and swung her off to the
beat of a twostep, there was not
more graceful little figure upon the
floor of the Incompatible round ball
room of the Coronado hotel.
The cotillon was a great success.
The ensigns and younger officers of
the monitor, at that time anchored off
the hotel attended in uniform, and
enough of the members of what was
known in San Francisco as the dane
ing set were present to give the af-
fair the necessary entrain. Even Jerry

spent the early part of that winter
shooting elk in Oregon, was among
the ranks of the "rOvers," who group
ed themselves about the drafty door
ways and endeavored to appear uneOn-
sciOus each time Ridgeway gave the
signal for break"
The figures had gone round the hall
once. The first set was out again,
and as Ridgeway guided Miss Herrick
by the "rovers" she looked over the
array of shirt fronts, searching for
Jerry Haight.
'Do you see Mr.. Haight?" she asked
Of Ridgeway. Il wanted TO favor him
this break. 1 owe him two already,
and he'll never forgive me if 1 over
look him now
Jerry Haight had gone to the hotel
Office for a few moments rest and a
cigarette and was nowhere in sight.
But when the set broke and Miss Her
rick, despairing of Jerry, had started
out to favor one of the younger en-
signs, she suddenly jostled against him
pushing his way eagerly across the
floor in the direction of the musicians

"Oh," she cried, ''Mr. Haight, you've

But Jerry did not hear. He seemed
very excited. He crossed the floor, al
most running, and went up on the plat
form, where the musicians were mean
dering softly through the mazes Of Ia
Paloma," and brought them to an
abrupt silence.
Here, l say. Haight," exclaimed
Ridgeway, who was near by, you can't
break up my figure like that"
"GP me a call there on the bugle,"
said Haight rapidly to the cornetist.
Anything to make 'em keep quiet a
moment"
The cornetist sounded a couple Of
notes. and the cotillon paused in the
very act of the break. The shuffling of
feet grew still, and the conversation
ceased. A diamond brooch had been
found, no doubt, or some supper an
nouncement was to be made. But Jer-
~ Haight, with a great sweep of his
arm, the forgotten cigarette between
his fingers, shouted out breathlessly:
