heard she was going, nothing could
have restrained us.
1t seemed endless, that waiting, but
at last the train steamed in. Jim and
his wife we're in the front carriage.
He jumped down like a boy, and
swung pretty, buxom lady to her
feet, and stood staring at the crowd.
Then he gave whoop and stretched
out his hand to the mayor.
my, but I'm glad to see you'll" he
yelled Don't tell me you're not
Pete Williams-red-headed Pete who
used to go fishing with me? Address
of welcome? What, Mayor Pete!
Mayor? And Doctor Williams! Catch
me. somebody"
Then he presented Doc to his wife,
and soon we were all thronging round
the couple and giving them the best
welcome in Merivale. And Jenny!
Jenny was blushing like a schoolgirl.
And, before anybody knew what was
happening, Jenny had kissed Frank,
and Frank had kissed her; and Jenny
had kissed Mrs. Frank, and Mrs.
Frank had kissed her, too,
We were all so excited about this
that nobody noticed the thin, tired
looking man with the closely cropped
hair who had got out of the same
coach, and now stood behind Frank
Stockleigh, his eyes roaming restless
ly about until they lit on Jenny's. But
suddenly Jenny sprang forward, and
in a moment the thin man had her in
his arms, and she was crying upon
his shoulder, and then they began
kissing each other right in front of
the crowd.
There was sort of universal gasp
of stupefaction. Frank Stockleigh
cleared his throat-and then he
wasn't looking at the crowd any
more, but only at Jenny Walsh and
the thin man, who was still hugging
her.

He spun round, and Jenny, too, and
she was looking at us with kind of
gentle defiance in her eyes; and they
were holding each others hands.
"Why, l thought you were-I
thought you were" stammered Doc
Williams, and that was as far as he
could get. He couldn't exactly tell
him he thought he was in prison; and
yet the surprise Of Jim's reappear-
ance, and his appearance in Franks
company, made the mayor forget
himself -.
Eyes, 1 was, answered Jim, look
ing at him with the blinking gaze of
a man who hasn't been in the free
air as much as. he should have been.

And he broke off in a sort of chok-
ing sob, and Jenny linked her arm
through his. And then, for once,
Mayor Williams did the right thing.
Jim, you and Mr. and Mrs. Stock
leigh are going to be my guests at
dinner" he said. $50 come along all
of you-straight up to the house. And
you,T OF course, MISS Jenny, ne con-
tinued.
But it was not until the dinner was
over that the mystery was explained,
and it was Frank Stockleigh who
cleared it up.

something in his tone which checked
teh air of joIlity, 81 am bringing back

a romance behind every door. The

and there will be no further pretense
Of a sultan having anything to do with
the government. The old palace of
the sultan-an ugly affair, which looks
like a boarding house-is used for Of.
fees by the British. Near the palace
is the harem, now deserted, since the
present sultan has but one wife.
The sultan, who had trouble with the
English, was educated in England and
spent much Of his time and all Of his
revenues in Paris. One day an Eng
lish gunboat sailed into the harbor,
and the captain told the gay sultan
that he had been ousted. The sultan
resented the high handed proceeding
and sent word to the defenders Of his
dignity to sink the English gunboat
and put the insolent captain in the
dungeon. ...4 .-
There was an old fort near the pal
ace, on the walls Of which were
mounted a few rusty cannon. The
defenders of the sultan tried to, fire
these at the English gunboat. but they
burst, one by one, and almost wiped
out the sultan's defensive force. The
captain Of the English gunboat then
began dropping shells into the palace
