These four persons were about going
forward upon singularly desperate
and unusual enterprise. From now on
they were no longer to fence with one
another, to shift from this topic to
that, with the indirect maneuvers OF
a house-cat intent upon the quest OF
the Friday mackerel. The womans
face was alive with eagerness; the
oldest man looked from one to the
other with earnest calculation; Wal
lace no longer hid his cupidity:
Ryanne's immobility of countenance
was in itself tacit admission to the
burning of all his bridges that he
might become part of this conciave.
Smuggling" said the major, with
prudent lowering of voice, evidently
continuing some previous debate.
Smuggling is a fine art, keen sport
ing proposition; and the consequences
of discovery are never serious. WHAT'S

business with the utmost adroitness.
Never have we drawn serious atten-
ton. We have made two or three
blundcrs, but the suspicious Of the Sc
cret-service were put to sleep upon
each occasion. We have prospered.
Here is a gem, let us say, worth on
this side a thousand; over there we
sell it for enough to give us a clean
profit of three or four hundred. Forty
per cent. upon our investment. That
ought to be enough for any reasonable
person Am l right?"
Mrs. Chedsoye alone was unrespon-

able expectations, little junkets to the
aters and country places; in brief, to
witness the rose grow and unfold.
Somewhere he had read or heard that
courtship was the plummet which
sounded the depths of compatibility.
He knew nothing of Fortune Ched-
soye. save that she was beautiful to
his eyes. and that she was as different
from the ordinary run of girls as yon-
der moon was from the stars.
Again she stopped, leaning over the
parapet and staring down at the wa
ter swirltng past the stone embank-
ment. He did likewise, resting upon
his folded arms. Suddenly his tongue
became alive; and quietly. without
hesitancy or embarrassment, he began
to tell her OF his school life. his life
at home. And the manner In which
he spoke OF his mother warmed her;
and she was strangely and wonder
ingly attracted.
