BASS VIOLIN MASTER

Mary what? The answer was seemingly

So they stood, amid Mrs. Norton's gloomy

@How about the book, Dear?"

he asked.

task he made the acquaintance of Miss
Lucille Fellows Stevens, an attractive
young woman, of soft, dark eyes and wavy
brown hair, who worked as stenographer
in the next building. Over the marble
topped restaurant table at the luncheon hour
she told him of her struggle how her salary
supported her mother and three sisters,
while what little remained went to pay the
interest on the mortgage on their cottage
at Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey.
Office rent soon devoured the last of the
assets of "Von Teuber &, JONES' and the
senior member frightened his belt, prepare
tory to another search for work Luck was
with him this time. His pictures of Panama
had attracted such favorable attention in
professional periodicals that he was offered
the position of official photographer to the
Madero & Mamore Railroad, which was
building from Manaos, at the head of navi-
cation of the Amazon River, back through
the @hinterland' of Brazil and Bolivia, and
over the Andes to Peru.
The territory pierced by the railroad was
one of the few uncharted wildernesses, "a
jungle of wild beasts and enormous reptiles,
treacherOuS rnoraSSeS and dense tropical YER
dure, peopled by race of primitive aborigi-
mes, who subsist upon roots and jungle
fruit, with occasionally the meat of an ami
NAL laid low by their enormous bows and
six-foot arrows. In times of famine these
little savages-they are rarely more than
five feet tall-turn easily to cannibalism
Though shy they are friendly unless their
enmity is provoked by wanton cruelty.
At Manaos, the last post of civilization,
two thousand miles up the Amazon, Won
Teuber procured mule and a camping out
fit and plunged into the terra incognita be-
yond with five young engineers, the van
guard of the railroad The few white men
they encountered reminded Won Teuber of
Bret Harte's characters of our own West
A wild, devil-may-care set of fellows they
were, gathered from many lands, yet owning
no flag. What money they made they lost
to the crooked gamblers who followed their
wanderings Holding life lightly, they were
as ready with gun as with a word. For
months Won Teuber and his companions adj
vanced slowly westward, often blowing for
days at time through swamps in which
the mules sank to their middles.
1t was two years before Won Teuber and
one of the engineers emerged upon civiliza-
ton. The hardships and dangers that
bobbed up anew with each day took toll of
the other four
WON TEUBER told me of an encounter
that almost numbered him among
those who remained behind.

in the tops of palm trees as long as we
were in the uplands, taking turn and turn
about at sleeping; and more than once In
dams we had seen in the village passed be-
meath us. But at last we arrived safely at
the coast, and was off to New York, on the
lookout for a profitable investment"
THE most attractive business venture was
proposed by young man, Jones by
name, whose father had made millions IN
the sale of specific medicines. Jones sug-
gested that with Won Teuber's capital they
could proftably manufacture few simple
remedies of which he held the recipes, and
sell them in the cities of the tropics. A part
nership was formed, with headquarters in
little office on lower Broadway. AS soon as
a quantity of the medicines came from the
chemists, trim little steam yacht, the
Vixen, was chartered and they were off to
the ports of the West Indies and South
America. Before they weighed anchor, how
ever, Jones confessed shamefacedly that the
Sheriff had refused to allow him to leave the
jurisdiction of the State until certain obi
cations were settled Won Teuber good
naturally allowed him to appease the Sheriff
out of the firm funds. The pleasant course
of the Vixen was halted suddenly when off

In order not to lose this time Won Teuber
and Jones rented handsomely furnished
house in Kingston, and proceeded to adver-
tise their medicines
Unable to devote himself to business,
Zones was soon in another difficulty, requir
ing an immediate cash settlement; but
rather than go to Won Teuber again he
pawned the silver in the rented mansion.
On the day the Vixen was put in commission
Jones was arrested for the theft To free
his name from any possible connection with
the scandal, Won Teuber restored the silver
with his own money. On visit to the jail,
which stood on a bluff at the harbor's edge,
he discovered a guard who named an ex-
orbitant sum as the price of his connivance.
That night the Vixen was run close inshore,
and Won Teuber's low whistle sounded at
the walls of the jail A moment later Jones
had crawled cautiously out through the cell
window, the barsof which had been loosened,
and with Won Teuber's aid swan out to the
yacht, which Immediately proceeded under
forced draft to the American coast. Safe
on American soil, Jones begged the loan of
fifty dollars, which Won Teuber gave him.
Jones took the next westbound train. A
good deal discouraged, Won Teuber returned
to the Broadway Office to straighten out the
last of the firms assets

several yards before the machine was
