CHAPTER XIII

AIVADOR, night operator In the
cable office at San Diego, had
y Just reported for work. The early
~ evening train from Guayana ar
rived, and presently one of the railway
porters brought him a little note from
his Uncle Ximenes. Salvador accepted
it with unconcealed disgust; he fore-
saw another request for slght loan
which, nv most dear nephew, l prom
ise faithful to return within the week.
With such anticipations, you are to be-
Iieve that Salvador was proportionately
gratified to read something to the fol-
lowing effect:
NV Most Precious Jewel Of Nephew,
Salvador:
Your devoted uncle Ximenes is in
trouble, and lives only IN the hope that
YOU will come to him Immediately upon
the receipt of this note and brighten

you, through your affectionate regard
for your mothers only brother, have
advanced me from time to time.
Moreover, it is said that q great up
rising against the despicable dogs Of
gringos is about to take place. If God
so wills it, we of the patriotic citizens

The writer was a public cochero. or
cabman, who did thriving business at
the railway terminal in Guayana, when
he was sober; the which was an occur
renee of some infrequency. ximenes
loved his sisters son, Salvador, with an
affection that was intensified whenever
he awoke penniless from debauch and
wanted to borrow money.
Salvador pondered this communica-
tfon not at all. If Ximenes was truly
In such trouble that he feared to ply MS
business at the station, 1t meant that
he was being looked for by the police.
In such case it was the nephew's plain
duty to go to him and relieve him OF
such cash assets as he might possess,
before he could be arrested and put in
the calabozo. Also, Salvador was weary
oe his work; and, revolution impending,
ne would not work, since the constitu-
ton of the South American Is such
that all business is suspended during
change of government. Besides,
there was the prospect of the loot OF
the Green House: should mob invade
that residence of the president. of a
surety there would be precious little
trif1es, many of them, which the thrifty
might collect without the asking-for
the mere trouble involved in carrying
them away. Beyond doubt, Salvador
would go to Guayana.

Y yOU remember OidI, VINO reformed
" the giant and received from the
goblins a magic whistle, and you
remember. too how he came to
America and how when his money was
all gone he blew his whistle and the
goblins came and helped him. Well, as
l told you the place where he went to
work was in part of the country which
looked SO much like his own Norway
that he could scarcely believe that he
was really thousands of miles from it.
One day while he was working in the
field he saw passing in the road near by
young girl, and as he listened ne
heard her singing, and the words ana
the music almost brought tears to MS
eyes, for ii was an old Norwegian love
song she was singing as she walked
along. song he had sung many, many
times In his boyhood.
Olaf wanted to speak to the young
girl, but scarcely dared to, until finally
he said to himself will speak to her in
Norwegian, and then. perhaps, she will
not be offended.
So in ms pleasant tone he said Good
morning. and as the girl heard the
greeting in her own language she looked
and smiling bowed, and Olaf, remov-
ing his hat, excused himself for speak
ing to her. The conversation SO begun
continued until each had told the other
where they came from. what they were
thio SOAheAJb
themselves.
Olaf thought all day of Melena, for
she told him that was her name, and a
few days afterward, accepting her invi-
tation he went to call at the farmhouse
where she worked. THEY grew to
be the closest friends, and after some
months when each had found they loved
the other they decided to be married.
Olaf had worked very hard ever since
he had been at the farm, and as the
farmer had paid him well he had been
able to pay the giant back the borrowed
money and save quite little besides.
He had enough to buy him new suit,
new shoes, gloves, and a hat, and he
said to himself, as he saw them nicely
hanging in his closet, I should never
have been able to have those IL had
stayed in Norway"
And still as the time for the marriage
drew very near both Olaf and Melena
wished that their wedding might take
place in their native land, and they
talked about who they would invite of
their friends over there and how they
would have a little feast at the village
inn.
Olaf had never told MeIena of the
magic whistle which the soblins had
given him until this night that they
were talking about how fine it would
be to be married at home.
DO you suppose the gobllns could
help u.s." asked Melena, after a long ST.
lenee.
Help US to WHAT" said Olaf.
