on shares. Just as the natives do, and
save even more, think. The clerical
force is entirely native. There were
but ten white men here before you
came. including two Greeks Being

that four hours constitute days

midday, sir"
II say, wouldn't this be paradise
for the English workingman?' said
Deppinghnm. THAT'S the kind Of
days labor they'd like. Do you mean
to say that these fellows trudge eight
miles to work every morning and back
again at noon7"
Certainly not, sir. They ride their
thoroughbred horses to work and ride
them back again.
You take my breath away" said the
other. lapsing into a stunned silence.
The road had become SO steep and
laborious by this time that Bowles
was very glad to forego the pleasure
OF talking. He fell back with Mr..
Saunders and proceeded to give the
inQuisitive lawyers clerk all the late
news OF the island
The inhabitants of Japat had been
prompt to protect themselves In le-
gal sense. They had engaged the serv-
Ices of eminent solicitors In London,
who were to represent them In the
final settlement Of the estate. London
was to be the battle-ground In the
coming conflict. A committee Of three
had journeyed to England to put the
matter in the hands OF these lawyers
and were now returning to the island
with a representative of the firm, who
was coming out to stand guard, SO to
speak. Won Blitz, the German superin-
tendent, was the master mind In the
native contingent. The absent com.
mittee was composed of Ben Adj, Alb
dallah Ben Sabbat and Rasula, the
Arafat lawyer They were truly wise
men from the old, shrewd, crafty
and begotten of Mohammed.
The mines continued to be operated
as usual pending the arrival Of the e1-
ecutors representative, who. az we
know, was now on the ground In the
person of Thomas Saunders. The fact
that he also served as legal adviser to
Lady Dcppingham was not OF SUN.

It was then and not until then that
his lordship turned his stare from the
sea to the clerk and his companion.
"Aw,' he interrupted, "glad to see
you, I'm sure. Would you be good
enough to tell us how we are to reach
the r-chateau and why the devil
we can't get anybody to move our lug
gage?"
Mr. Bowles, who had lived in Japat
for sixteen years, was tortuously
slow Englishman, with the curse Of
the cline still growing upon him. He
was half asleep quite good bit of the
time and wholly asleep during the re-
mainder.

my lord, and the chateau is two miles

Hundreds, my lord, but they belong
to the people, and no one but their
owners ride them. The servants at the
chateau turned Mr.. Skaggs' horses out

as to say So Lady Deppingham is one
of the angles; Mr.. Browne, the Amer
