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 shrewd
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 Senor Roblado does, and report
often to Jack.
The night comes on slowly.
Jack has dined and feels that, like
the famous philosopher of old, no fare
can harm him.
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, it

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
of Edinburgh Castle as outlined
against the soft southern sky; but his
thoughts are hardly connected with
that glorious masterpiece.

strange freak of Fate has thrown in
his way in such a manner that their

CHAPTER vIl-continued.

Senor RoDlado has no longer his
hand upon the throttle valve control
ling his emotions. which. up to This
moment, have been kept in wonder
iul 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 fiend.
The crisis is at hand.
Thanks to his long training. Jack
knows just how TO meet such an emer-
sency. He has one elbow resting on
the table, and supports his head care
lessly with his hand.
What might that be, senor!" he
smiles.
Revenge. A Spaniard never forgets
an injury | have lost fortune, II
may be, but in return | mean to have
your life."
With these words the fiery Caslil-
ian suddenly produces revolver, and
presents it at the head of his CON-
panion 1t is so close that Jack can
look into the chambers and see the
leaden messengers snugly ensconce6,
and awaiting the sigral to go forth.
He sees something more.
aha! you do not finch. You are
man of nerve; but that shall not save
YOU See, the clock yonder is about to
strike the half-hour. When it sounds

clares that regardless of consequences
Roblsdo is bent ON revenge.
''Ah, senor, you have been in Ameri-
ca. in Cuba, and learned of their
ways; but there is one thing you seem
to have forgotten which no cowboy in
Texas ever omits-that is, to pull
back the hammer of your gun before
you shoot"
The Spaniard gives 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's wrist, the in
stantaneous result is revolver whirl-
ing across the apartment;
A snarl of rage from the senior.
"Sit you down, sir" says Jack. calm
ly and there is terrible emphasis in
his voice that has an effect on Rob
lado. though in all probability he is
influenced more by the sight of little
shining weapon which Jack has taken
from the drawer of the table, and the
hammer of which is drawn back.
Roblado is not madman, therefore
he refrains from rushing on certain
death.
Fuming with rage, he drops back
into his chair, a picture of unutterable
fury.
Now, sir, let us have an under
standing. shall put my weapon
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 winning
card up his sleeve.

She is in his power-she believes
in his affection for her, anL will do
what he says.

flee on time.
He has his tickets purchased, and
enters carriage with All Sin and the
luggage just as the prompt signal is
given and the train moves.
The ride is uneventful.
Reaching Glasgow, a cab is taken
to the hotel, and Jack seeks rest, hav-
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
may be reached.
Another day and no word.
How heavily time drags!
He lounges about the hotel, making
short pilgrimages abroad, for it is pos.
sible that those he seeks escape him.
In Jamaica street he surveys the
crowd and wanders into Argyle street,
his eyes 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.
Ah Sin says nothing; but he, too,
keeps bright lookout.
And at noon no word.
Jack grows restless. Can 1t be pos
sible his shrewd agent has lost track
of the game, outwitted by Spanish
cunning?
He arouses to the occasion and
makes inquiries himself
There is 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, go 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 voyage is the next thing on the
program.
This seems significant of action.
That evening, as Jack enters the
diuing-room, 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 fallen. 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
