CHAPTER I.
A Tropical Discussion,

I'D far rather beg in the gutter than
marry you, Jasper" flashed the girl, at
last goaded past all patience. Her cloud
ed, indignant eyes expressed both con-
tempt and aversion for the young man
leaning over the deck rail beside her.
He was still young man, as years go,
and in spite of the gray streaks in his
dark hair, the crows feet above his cheek
bones: more than passably good-looking.
too, with his regular profile and straight.
spare. athletic figure. though his sleepy
eyes were a tri1e close set and more than
mustache he was twirling with long,
thin. almost womanish hand hid cruel,
selfish mouth.
In his smart white yachting suit and
panama, lounging over the sun-dried teak
taffrail with his knees crossed, he seemed
to be neither oppressed by the tropical
heat nor impressed at all by anything
that his companion could say.
I'D far rather beg in the gutter" she
repeated, as If to settle the matter. And
the emphasis with which she spoke
showed that she meant what she said.
"But-that doesn't make any difference.
my dear Sallie," he once more answered,
displaying his white, even teeth in a
slight. amused smile. You're going to
marry me just the same. And you may
as well make up your mind right away
that it will pay you best to be pleasant
about jt.
capt Dove has come to the point at
last" he went on TO explain condescend-
ingly, I'm the same cool. careless. CONVEX
sational tone a tone which, however,
could not quite hide the ugly determine
ton behind it, You've upset him for
good and all this time. He's aching to
get rid of YOU now In fact. he's cursing
himself that he didn't-when he might
have made more out of the deal. And,
anyhow, he's promised you to me-"
The girls slim. shapely body had sud
denly stiffened. She started up and away
from him with gesture or bind repul-
sion. Her pure, proud, sensitive face
showed the struggle that was going on in
her mind-between fear and hope; quick
fear that what he had just said might be

Keeping the Devil Out.
From the Wide World Magazine.


Some Of the more out-of-the-way parts
of Cornwall, England, can offer many
singular sights TO the visitors. None OF
these is more curious. however. than that
which Is to be seen in the small village OF
veryan, in the southern part OF the coun-
ty On each side Of the main roads which
lead to the group Of cottages clustered
round the church there are to be seen GER
tain uueer-looking round houses, each sur
mounted by q cross. These cottages were
built with the object OF keeping the devil
out of the village More than one hundred
years ago the vicar OF the parish was a
certain Mr.. jeremiah Trist. q parson who
seems to have been a most worthy man.
though curiously superstitious. In spite
Of all his endeavors to make HIS parish<
toner's good. 1t seems that the village follf
did not improve very rapidly, and he de-,
cided that something must be done to-
right matters. Accordingly after muciI
cogitation, the famous round houses We're
built. With these In position. protected by
their crosses, 1t was urged that the evil
ono would not dare to enter the village
and therefore all would be well in Ver1
yam. Whether the good Wears hopes were
realized It IL. unfortunately. impossible
to say, but the houses stand today as d
singular instance OF an attempt to bafflet
the powers Of darkness.

it was decked after the old-fashloned
