Hang it, but you are struck on
her yourself, and don't want to give
me any show!" exclaimed the wrath
full Jack.
At that the girl took up the pad
and pencil and wrote and handed to
Burt:
''I am sorry if your friend feels so
badly. Didn't you brir any jamaica
ginger along?"
Burt read the words with smile
Jack read them with what he tried
to make a smile, but which turned
out to be a very poor imitation, and
then went to the door to see If there
were any signs of clearing. There
wasn't, and there was almost feel
ing of Joy in his heart as he took up
the pad and wrote:
''I don't think it will stop raining
before daylight"
"So?" wrote the girl in reply. "I
am sorry if you are suffering, but
perhaps it will soon pass away
She talks to me as if I were a
Burt laughed in his hearty way
and to the astonishment of both the
girl laughed with them. She ex-
cused herself a moment later, how
ever, by writing lin to the effect
that her mother would surely think
/ the bears had eaten her up.
Now for the truth: Soon after noon
on that day, Miss Nettie Calkins,
niece of James Stanhope, the village
magistrate, and who had come out
from the city to pass a month, start
| ed out alone with horse and huoov
to visit the deaf and dumb asylum
six miles away.
She had reached the place without
accident and spent an hour there

supplied Musgrave. "It gets to
Grafton at 6;27. It's the same train
they used to have last season.
l"I'll do it, he declared. "Now
about that DEAL"
In ten minutes Niusgrave had
grasped the details OF the plan and
had noted Inslee's wishes. Then they
went upstairs to pack and stopped
at restaurant on their way to the
train.
Inslee could eat now. He could
not recall what he had eaten for din
ner. Somehow the time between his
Homecoming and Musgrave's arrival
was vague and misty.
He was first in the washroom the
next morning, turning out even be-
fore the porter called him, and he
was ready half an hour before the
train pulled in at the beach. He re-
membered the hotel at which Ruth
had spent part of the previous sum
mer. 1t was natural to suppose that
she would go there. and thither he
bent his steps.
His route took him along the
board walk and down on the sands
in front of the hotel was little fig

ure his heart knew so we'll. Ruth
must have come down for a breath
of morning air before breakfast.
He dropped down to the sands and
approached. She looked up at his
approach with smile upon her face
and held up her lips for his kiss.
II did not expect you before even
ing" she said. "That Musgrave man
is wonder"
Inslee stared in amazement. Could
it be that Ruth was losing her
senses?
How could you expect me when
you left no address, he asked, won
deringly as he sank upon the sands
beside her.
"But 1 did leave an address, she
declared. Didn't Jack Musgrave
come and tell you that he saw me

He said he saw you were going
away. had to worm the rest out of
him."
Ruth's silvery laugh rang out
gaily. "You are the most absurd big
boy in the world" she declared. II
was so afraid that you might suspect
plot and refuse to come"
"a plot? What do you mean,'
Inslee stared at her stupidity.

She took the thin white hand in
hers. "You see, Ned" she explain
ed. ''Dr. Sommers said that unless
you took a vacation you would break
down. We knew yoI would not
agree, SO ran away and let you fol-
low. Jack and Felice were both in

"And you did not go because ]
did not love you any longer?" he
asked, as he drew out her note"
"Silly," she cried, with an affec-
tionate pat. "Didn't tell you

Ing only for her and now she had
gone away--had gone away because
she could not live without the love

He had a business engagement
that evening, but he did not meet It..
He telephoned an excuse and sat
moodily smoking. Jack Musgrave
came later and Inslee tried to hide
his depression.
II came in to cheer you UP a lit

as he helped himself to cigar and
an easy chair. Il saw Mrs. Inslee at
the station and knew that you would

What did she have to say?"

sound natural.

Inslee almost leaped from his chair
at the suggestion. Here, after all.
was chance. He could run down
and have a talk with Ruth before
she left the beach, as she probably
would if she meant to lose herself.
So far the fates had played into
his hand. He knew where she had
gone. 1t would not be necessary to
employ detectives or make an en-
barrassing search. How he had
dreaded the thought of publicity!
He fairly beamed on Musgrave.
That's good idea." he said,
warmly. "It would be surprise for

1t was the policy of the North and
South company to put out of the
way all obstacles in its path and the
rulers of minor republics who placed
an excessive tariff on gold produc-
tion removed in the same business
like fashion as that N which the
company overcame transportation
obstacles by building railroads.
Gonzalvo regarded the imposition
of the tax with no great bitterness
of spirit. He had magnificent es-
tate up in the mountains verit-
able fortified palace. He entertained
lavishly, and so long as they left him
sufficient gold to supply his needs he
did not care about the rest.
He had smiled pleasantly over the
proposition from the North end
South company, and had explained
| to the agent that he found business
great bore. If Malveccho needed
gold for the republic 1t was all well
and good. Surely there was enough
| for both. If more was needed they
could put more men to work.
Then it was that Masker was
cabled for and now he sat in the
Mocoa painless dental parlor of Guy
Royston and chatted pleasantly
while he slipped glass of lemonade.
! Ostensibly he vas on visit to Guy,
but, being one of those inquisitive
| Americans, he was anxious to see
| the country.
In three weeks he returned to the
capital, his boots iforn to shreds, his
clothing tatered and an expression
of deep melancholy upon his bronzed
face.
Guy knew the sign and was not
worried. The better satisfied Masker
was the deeper became the gloom
upon his face. Such an expression
Of abject woe betokened success.
1t was late in the evening of his
return before he found himself alone
with his chum.
Some of those rocks are just rot
ten with gold" he declared. 81 don't
think ever saw higher grade ore SO
general. Up on one of the back
rivers, one of the boys threw rocks
at duck that was swimming in the
stream. There was enough gold in
the rocks ito buy hundred canvas
backs in the highest priced restau-
enough gold in its crop to tip the
walters for serving all those ducks"
And how about Gonzalvo? Is he
interested in your proposition?''
Masker smiled.
II have provided him with an am
bition," he said, softly. "Mocoa pines
for the opera. That is the reason
the town, and in fact the whole
country, is so dull and listless.

tlents--a record since his arrival in
| Mocoa; and by the end of the week
his reception room was crowded.
When Masker went at a thing r,
pushed 1t to speedy completion. and
by the end of.the third week most of
the leading inhabitants had gold
crowned incisors and Royston was
completely tagged out
He was glad when Masker told
MIN that the plano ,re laid Arms
mad been brought down by steamer,
and Gonzalvo's PEGS were drilled in
their use.
Ihen one morning there was a
noise of musketry outside the town
ana Gonzalvo came marching in at
the head of his troops. Malveccho,
taken completely by surprise. was
arrested while he vas at breakfast.
and by noon the government had
changed.
Malveccho was sent to Paris on an
outgoing steamer with the promise
that pension would be paid as long
as he remained there, and at din
ner given that evening in the palace
announcement was made of the pro-
jected opera house.
Masker was hailed as liberator
second only to the new president,
and when 1t was announced that his
company would develop the resources
of the country, the only regret was
that Masker could not remain and
superintend the development him
self.
That night he embarked upon the
ship that had brought the arms. and
he and Royston paced the deck.
"And Nell will come right DOWN."
asked Guy, wistfully.
"As soon as / land" promi; her

for the wedding myself, since you
can't be spared to come north
"It seems too good to be true"
said Guy, as his eyes roamed the
moonlit sea. "a month ago l was
ready to commit suicide Now l have
money and prospect of becoming a
millionaire If that land grant turns
out we'll"
"You deserve it," said M-sker. ''If
you hadn't been down and out I
should not thought of carrying De-
tistry as side line to a revolution.
l don't know that I would even have
organized the revolution"
''The side line was the most i'm

smiled.

! expensive necessity. Malveccho will
stand in the way of progress. We
must get Malveccho out of the way
for the sake of the sacred cause of
music.'
"And dentistry" reminded Guy.
For the sake of music" insisted
Masker. Dentistry comes as a side
line, as / have already told you.
Gonzalvo will head revolution and
will become president. He will es-
tablish the opera and guide it with
his own paternal hand-particular
ly the ballet. 1t was the ballet, that
reused him to ambition.
"Now to get all this necessary rev.
enue, the prosperity of the country
must be assured. Here is where the
North and South comes in. We will
work his deposits with modern ma
chinery, on royalty, increasing the
production ten-fold, but we will not
take hold unless the tax Is reduced
to per cent. To guarantee that,
he must be the president, and so we
shall fix up a revolution.
Simple" said Guy, with smile.
Simple when there has not been
a revolution in II years, and the
people want novelty. I expect to
have most of the plans laid within
week. 1t will be on the lines of
a secret society, and that the loyals
may know each other each man has
gold crown tooth n compliment to
our leader. /.
"It will boom your dental business
and add touch of oddity that they
all like. Gonzalvo will pay the bills
for the dentistry. He will give you
$4,000 and the cost Of material.
With that you can go back home and
set up for yourself with a wife and
fair chance of success.
Royston gazed at ,Masker in
his face and as the realization of
what it all meant came over him he
broke down. A few days before he
had thought that he would never
see his native land nor the girl he
loved again. Now all was changed.
Masker fidgeted uneasily in his
chair until Royston was himself
again, and then he rapidly sketched
in the remainder Of the plot.
Once the easy-going Gonzalvo had
been reused to ambition, he had gone
to the other extreme. A railroad was
to be built to carry the ores from
the mines to the coast, the agricul-
tural property was % be developed
and Caqueta was to embark upon an
era of prosperity that should hand
down the name of President Con
zalvo to future generations.
The next day Guy had three pa

sat in the shanty, lodging the leaks
and writing messages until there was
chance to get out.
Burt wrote most of the messages
for his side of the house. Jack got
1T into his head that he was regard
ed as colicky small boy by the deaf
| and dumb girl, and the most that
could be gotten out of him thereaft-
er was that she was a fine-looking
girl.
The boat was made ready and
sailed across to the village, and the
girl wrote her thanks and invited
her rescuers to call and receive the
grateful thanks of her parents.
1t would have been a breach of
good manners not to accept Four
| days later two well-dressed and
| smart-looking young men left their
boat at the dock and inquired for
] certain house.
| When they had been received by
| gray-haired woman and her thanks
duly returned, the deaf and dumb
| girl entered the room and held out
a hand to either and expressed the
| hope that they would find it in their
hearts to forgive a mighty good
| looking girl' for her audacious con-
| duct.
| Burt complied on the spot and APP
preciated the joke, but Jack reserved
the right to think it over. At the
end Of two hours, and when on their
way back, he announced:
| "Old man, I'll have to forgive her,
though 1t comes hard, because I
| realized that you are going to marry
her and can't stay mad at your
wife and continue to be friends with
you. Collie! Hang it, she knew /

spot on Norton's bay, and
this was the third season that
Burt Scovel and his college
chum, Jack Francis, had pitched
their tents there. 1t was five miles
nearest farmhouse, and the place Of
fered all the wildness one could ask
for.
A sultry August afternoon rolled
up the thunder heads in the western
sky. The chums agreed that the
storm would be wonder.
Just when the sun was ready to
sink out of sight, and the first moan
of the coming storm was heard, an
apparation appeared that struck the
boys dumb with amazement for a
moment or two. A girl flying toward
them out of the woods.
She had lost her hat, her hair was
flying, and 1t was evident that she
was in great fright. There was no
time to ask questions. The boys each
seized an arm, and rushed her into
the shanty, and next moment the
wind was bowling and the rain de-
scending.
It was dark as night in the shanty
and a candle was lighted. The girl
crouched down on the floor with her
hands over her face, and see remain
ed thus for the next 20t minutes.
Then the first rush of the storm was
over and she looked up.
The campers had been waiting for
this. Her dress had proved in ad-
vance that she was not farmers

pared to find her good looking.

Nell won't be as young as she is

sympathetically.
His friend had come to the little
South American republic of Caqueta
to earn fortune more quickly than
was possible at home. He had heard
glowing reports of the wealth that
rolled in upon -American dentists
south of the gulf, and he had hur-
ried down at his graduation.
But things had not prospered, and
when Ambrose Maske- arrived al
Mocoa, the Caquetan capital, he
found his other-in-law-to-be in a
state eof extreme detection.
"If I could sell my outfit fol-
enough to pay my passage money

ly, I'D go home and ask Nell to take

II guess it's not as bad as that"
said Ambrose, comfortingly. "We'll

"Sure, assented Guy. "He is the

made crown for broken incisor.
I tell you $50, gold, looked mighty
good to me-"
Guy smiled and winked an eye
meaningly. After college, he and
Masker had separated. Guy had
graduated high in his class at the
dental college, while Ambrose Mask

school of mines.
Had he been content with the rou-
tine of the laboratory he would have
quickly won a foremost position
among the expert mining engineers.
but to his gifts as chemist and es-
sayist addedSa longing for adventure
that was stronger than desire for
advancement.
He could have been at the head of
the assay department in the power
full company by which he was en-
ployed, but he persisted in his desire
to remain on the field force, and he
reveled in the adventures his posi-
tion brought him.
