Uncle Somerville, can't we win
without calling in these horrid men
with their guns?" she began, plunging
desperately into the midst of things
A mere shadow of grim smile came
and went in the Rajah's eyes.
An unprecedented outsider might
say that the 'horrid men with their
guns were on top of that embank-
ment, my deah-ten to Duh one, he
remarked. 1T was the first time
eveh saw Misteh Deck TT show the
white featheh."
But should think we might win
in some other way. What is it you
want TO ALPHABETICALLY, | mean.
Make me your ally and see If | can't
help you"
Mr. Darrah pushed his plate aside
and cleared his throat.
For business reasons which you
ah-wouldn't understand we can't let
the Utah finish this railroad of theirs
into Carbonate this winteh."

Winton seems to be very determined"
"Mmph! ! wish Mr.. Caldwell had

from the other people. Mr.. Caldwell
might not be so fortunate next time
And it wouldn't be dishoNorable in
MIR. Winton 70 resign and take bet
Ter place, would it?"
The Rajah sat back in his chair and
regarded her thoughtfully. Then
slow smile twitched the huge mus
caches and worked its way up to the
fierce eyes.

Nothing, my deah-nothing at all.

she assenteG, not wi,Aout dubiety
That is, I'll be nice to Mr.. Winton,
Sc that is what you mean"
The saying of it cost her a blush
and Mr.. Darrah remarked it. But he
did not give her time to retract.

Virginia found pen, ink and paper,
something Notwithstanding a great
deal, if the truth were told-but not
knowing how to go about refusing a
Confederacy which she herself had
proposed.
