CHAPTER XVIII.
THE door of the Seattle offices of the
Port Hatch Land Company flew
open with bang, and through it rushed
Colonel Hatch, excited and anxious.
"Good afternoon, Mr.. Billings" he
called to the manager. where on
earth is Mr.. Jones? I've been looking
for him, and do you know, Sir, it's of
the utmost Importance that l have
conference with him before three
o'clock this afternoon?"
Billings looked distressed and
wagged his head "There are two
reasons why I'm afraid that is impos-
sible, Colonel he answered; zone be-
ing that it's now quarter past three.
and the other that Mr.. Jones took the
boat to Port Hatch at thirty"
well, doggone my cats!' exclaimed
the Colonel, bursting into vernacular
oath Of his native country. aThen we
must have passed him on the way
down"

ings, still wondering what could be the
cause of the Colonel's perturbation.
3And I'm afraid that if time is essential
he cannot be here before tomorrow
evening, because the last boat for today
has gone, and letter would not reach
him before tomorrow afternoon. No,
on thinking it over, l doubt if he could
be had here before day after tomorrow,
without hiring special boat
The Colonel looked like boy that

tector in crowd. He shifted from one
foot to the other, took off his hat, ran
his fingers through his profuse white
hair, and tugged at his goatee.

The Colonel frightened, looked at
Billings as if about to ask his advice,
then shook his head. aNo, Sir, Mr..
