was his invariable model.
In one sense, the girl was the pat
tern of the girls of Vance's imagina-
tion, for he endowed all of his hero
ines with Jessie's attributes, but only
in so far as he could see good in those
who were like his own sweetheart
had he consciously copied her.
But the talk in the little village
stung and now the gossip had result
ed in broken engagement.
In the talk that followed, Tread
ways stories were read with an add
ed interest. Not even Jessie could
understand that the stories appear
ing were written and accepted long
before their quarrel and she regarded
the appearance of these new tales as
an indication of a stubborn spirit
and told herself that she did not care,
even while she knew that her heart
hungered for a reconciliation.
Vance sought in his writing an es-
cape from his thoughts and was seen
but little about town. In the fall it
was reported that he would spend the

1t was Just after ehe report of the

started. He and Spencer were sit

came. Spencer shrugged his shoul-

Half an hour later Berkeley paid a
call on Hernandez.

coldly. 1.-THE inspection train will

lision."
There was" agreed Berkeley.
''Will you be there?"
Hernandez nodded and Berkeley
took his departure.
The battered combination car
stood in the yards at Coolay, the
rear end against the bumper on the
end of the pier. Hernandez, accom-
panied by Albright and his party,
presented themselves shortly before
midnight and climbed aboard.
Where is Senior Spencer?" de-
manded Hernandez.

train.
Berkeley had studied civil engi-
neering as a part of his college
course and when Quinn saw that ne
was really in earnest, he took a
pleasure in giving information. BY
the time the end of the run was
reached, Berkeley lad made fast
friend.
He stayed at the front for three
days, pushing ahead to the end of
the road, along the right of way.
What he saw was rot encourag-
ing. At the end of the third day, he
quite agreed with Quinn that the
road could not be finished in time.
Spencer laughed at his doleful
prophecies and put on more men
with the air of one who seeks to
please spoiled child.
Long before the rails had been
stored in the terminal yard at Coo
lay, the seaport and capital, and
there was no excuse for a small
force. Ties grew beside the right of
way. 1t was but matter of cut
ting, and there was plenty of labor.
The friendship had been strength
ened by closer contact and Berkeley
took him freely into his confidence.
They were sitting on a fat car one
evening, smoking industriously to
keep off the mosquitoes, when Quinn,
with wave of his arm in the direc-
ton of the mines, broke the silence.
'It's funny" he declared, that
Spencer is SO slow. I have to fight
for every pound of iron / get up
here. If there was any reason I'd
think he was trying to hold back the

"I think he IS" agreed Berkeley,
"and I think can give you the rea-
son. The road revert to the gov
ernment If 1t is not completed and
train run the length of the line of
the first day of June"
Quinn puffed away until the ir
was blue; certain sign that he was
thinking deeply. At last he removed
his pipe and turned to Berkeley.
Il think" said Quinn, that can
look after this end all right by my
self. l think it's the other end of
the line that needs watching most"
The two hands clasped with
pressure that meant much. I'm go
ing back to Coolay in the morning."
said Berkeley. Then they went on to
talk of other things, each content
that his fellow was equipped for the
work before him.
Spencer was rather pleased to see
Berkeley return to the idle life of
the capital. The khaki gave place to
the fiannels again, and the cafes
about the plaza knew Berkeley bet
ter than did the office.
Then came the Enid, a trim little
yacht, with Jack Albright and half
dozen friends. The end of April
was rather late for a pleasure party
so far south, but Albright's explana-
tion that his physician had ordered
him south was accepted as sufficient
and the party was made welcome.

The fact that, as you say, Sir Har-
ry Grahame's influence would be
paramount in such matter compels
him, of course, to use 1t with extreme
care; and / am directed to say that
he regrets in this case being unable
to exert 1t on your behalf.
Sir Harry feels sure you will un-
derstand, with regard to a large
financial scheme of this description.
that the most rigid carefulness and
exactitude in money matters Is inn
perative, and that tho scene where
you and Sir Harry last met not only
does not justify him in using his in
f1uence for your benefit, but would
place him in serious position with
the directors and with the colonial
office If anything went wrong and
the truth about his recommendation
became known.
Sir Harry Grahame read with SONS
slight surprise, and, hopes, with
q mistaken view of It's meaning, your
concluding paragraph with regard to
letter written to you by Lady Flea
nor Grahame. / am directed to say
that If you have any idea of obtain
ing money from Sir Harry Grahame
by threatening to show Lady Eleanor
Grahame's letter to friends, you
would do well to aban On the scheme

Il cannot go about telling every
one that" she reminded. 'T think
you had better take back your ring,
Vance"
Just because of idle comment?"
he demanded.
mot because of idle comment, but
because / am afraid that in your sto-
ries you display your true ideas of
women, that you do not value the
love that you won-and lost"
"And lost" he questioned as his
hand closed over the golden circlet
with its cleaning stone.
And lost" she answered, bravely
enough, though as she watched him
pass down the walk between the we'll
kept grass plots the tears Were
streaming down her face.

tion as writer of short fiction. Then

not very easy to say, for Harry Gra-
hame sat in dead silence throughout
the drive. 1t was only as the hanson
turned into the quiet roadway of
Carlton House terrace that Grahame
suddenly drew the child into his arms
and covered her lips and forehead and
hair with wild kisses, and muttered
something which she did not catch
at first. The words were repeated,
and the pretty child-faCe grew white
and alight with terror.

and go away? .. Are you mad, Har-
ry? What have you been doing at

garden and talk to me-"

brave, sweetheart"
II.
Crazy to be alone, to get check
books, bank statements, and pencil,
and calculate the worst, Grahame
drove back to his rooms in Bucking-
ham Gate and ran upstairs. AS he
opened the door of his sitting room,
he stood still with a scarcely re-
pressed curse, for Wentley was sit
ting in an arm chair. with cigar

Treadway, with a mock sigh. "but

mot according to your ideas, ap-
parently," retorted Jessie. That's
the way in all your stories. The girl
is silly little fool who is only too
glad to accept the hero. Even the
girls in the club are talking about 1t,
and Myra Longworth said the other
day that it was easily seen where Mr..
Treadway obtained his model"
so that's the trouble, is it?" said
Treadway, softly. 81 am indebted to
Miss Longworth for this bad quarter

are to blame yourself for the way
you write. l don't want all the girls
to believe that / fairly fell into your

get from your stories"

contended, but Jessie shook her head.

Hernandez glanced expressiva,y

There was a snorting noise that drew,

baggage compartment. the cham
pagne was produced.
"A toast" cried Albright as he
waved his glass!-
Here's to the Montaria Inland C
Alma Mater. Drink 1t down."
Hernandez stared. Then you
know the Senior Osbon?" he stam-
mered.
Rather" agreed Albright. "He's
going to marry my sister"
l.
"Came down for the express pur-
pose of beating a scamp at his own
game. Jordan, Byng and myself can
prove that you conspired against the
property of citizen of the United
States. Any time you banker for
the sight of a battleship just start
something"
"It is what you call a Yankee
trick" snarled Hernandez, realizing
his complete defeat.
Which is million shades or SO
cleaner than a Montarian trick"
countered Albright politely.
The down trip was made In less
than 20 hours, for it vas down grade
all of the way.
Utterly played out, Berkeley went
out to the yacht with his friends. At
the head of the gangway stood a
silent figure waiting to receive the
party Berkeley gave a cry as he
recognized his father.

the old man. 81 came down for the
