stoned terms he declared his love and
offered her his heart and hand.
The young woman, although seem
ingly overcome, was altogether too
modest to accept. Somewhat taken
back by this premature declaration,
she was sufficiently self-poised to as
sure him that he was pleasing to her
and that she deeply appreciated his
attention. But she could not take any
decisive step in so important a mat
ter without first consulting her father.
She felt that it was her first duty to
save her brother. To accomplish this
she was ready to sacrifice life itself.
Merito, never at a loss for a sub
terfuge, proposed to interest himself

MY Dear Chief:

sing, and upon the impulse of the mo-
ment he pushed himself to the front
and with the politest of French bows,
said: please excuse me, young lady,

your distress, and l should be glad to
assist you. If you will allow me !

In modest tones she thanked him
for his kindness and ~confdingly of.
fered him the ten dollar bill that had
been returned to her by the chamber
maid.
Never mind the money until |
know what l can do for you"
He t6ereupon went below. The
sister, he thought, is not responsible
for the sins Of her brother; besides,
the making Of her acquaintance might
give him a better opportunity for dis.
covering the whereabouts of the man
he was seeking. In his imagination
he was sure that she was going to
meet him.
This was his opportunity, thought
he. He would ingratiate himself into
the good graces Of this young woman
and If possible learn the whereabouts
of her brother.
The oily-tongued detective had no
great difficulty in securing the coveted
prize. Steamboat clerks are always
wise enough to reserve an extra ticket
or two for special purposes.
When Merito returned to the grand
salon and handed the young lady her
tickets she was profuse in her thanks
and expressed her deep obligation. AS
she held the tickets between her
jeweled fingers she beamed a smile
and displayed a Set Of pearly white
teeth, encircled by a pair Of ruby lips,
and oh. such eyes! More sparkling

even than the diamond solitaires that
adorned her ears.
The detectives heart was throbbing
wildly. He could scarcely contain
himself. It was a case of love at first
sight. The hot blood Of the italian
was surging to his head. He was quite
bewildered.
Collecting his scattered senses he
was soon able to convince the young
woman that he was a man Of conse-
quence, and that while their meeting
was but casual, he was greatly de-
lighted because Of the opportunity Of
fered to make her acquaintance.
1t was late in the evening when they
babe each other good night with a
promise to meet again on the arrival

was expecting to meet him.
Learning this, the detective was
deeply interested, not only in the
brother, but In the sister as well. In
deed, she was the most attractive per-
son he had ever before met. To his
mind she was everything that a woman
should be. Wealthy, educated and az
fectionate, she was brave and roman
tic enough to venture out alone and
battle the cold world for the purpose
of redeeming her hayward brother.
So gentle and unassuming did she ap-
pear that he a sur she had a
heart overfowing with love.
AS these thoughts anne meandering
through his brain he saw in his eager
ness the opportunity Of his life. He
would somehow be instrumental in
saving the brother and thus win the
fair girls gratitude-perhaps her love.
He felt sure that he could trust to her
generous heart to forgive him for de-
ceiving her by palming himself off as

thing. She vas a young and sensitive
maiden who had courageously ven
tured from her fathers home with
the purpose Of meeting a much loved
but hayward brother. How, then,
could he help sympathizing with her?
Even though his representations in
regard to himself were falsely made
for the purpose Of obtaining her con-
idence, he believed he was sufficiently
shrewd to square himself with her at
the proper time.
