Kirk opened MS eyes In amazemenl-
Gee! That's great! But do you
think 1 can get away with it|'
mot at once. 1t will take time, OF
course, and you'll have to work like
the devil. Look here, Anthony, I'm
partly selfish in this, for l believe
you're the sort I'm going to want with
in the next year. The superintendent
has had an offer from big system in
the states, and he's going to quit when
his vacation comes. He likes me and
he says I'll probably step into his
shoes. Do you understand what that
means? I'll need fellows l can count
on-fellows who won't double cross me
to make a dollar for themselves, or
knife me when my back is turned.
I've got to have an efficient, nOiseless
organization Otherwise We'll all go
under, for Wen be into politics up to
our necks. l think you're my sort. so
if you'll stick to me I'll help you and
for every step I take I'll drag you up
one"
"It's a gop' The two young men
clasped hands heartily. Runnels had
struck the right note. Beside his for
mer desire to prove himself a man.
Kirk now felt a strong sense of loyalty
to the one who had recognized his
worth.
When ne told his good news to Mrs
COrtlandt, her surprise was so cleverly
simulated that he never dreamed that
she had been at great pains to bring
this thing about. Not that RunnelS
was indisposed to act upon his own i'll
itiative, but the circumstances that had
made his action possible had been due
to her. It was hard to help a man
against his will but she prokted by ex-
perience and took the line of least re-
sistance.
The young man himself did not IN
quire too closely into the occasion O.
his advancement, and Edith Cortlandt
was but little in his mind. He was
consumed with the thought Of Chiqui-
ia. He hoped that his new work
would allow him more control of his
time and perhaps put him in the way
of learning her name. He could move
in better society now.

AS the curtain fell on the first act
Kirk rose with the others and, accom-
panied by Mrs. Cortlandt. made his
way down the long passageway and
out into brightly lighted. highly dec
grated foyer. filing now with voluble
people. 1t was a splendid room, but
he had no eyes for it. His gaze was
fixed upon the welcome open air prom
enade outside. and his fingers fumbled
with his cigarette case.
"Oh, wait. please" he heard Edith
say. II want you to meet some one."
There, not yard away, was the girl
of his dreams demurely bowling to
Edith Cortlandt. her hand upon the
arm of swarthy man. whom Kirk
knew at once as her father. He felt
the blood rush blindingly to his head.

CHAPTER XIV.
GaraveI and His Daughter.

[" 1HESE were busy days for the
i Cortlandts. They entertained
I5TSSNSI constantly. and the occasions
- when they dined without
from one to dozen guests became SO
exceptional as to elicit remark around
the hotel. Most of their efforts were
devoted to certain Panamanians Of the
influential class. and in company with
one or more of these Cortlandt made
frequent trips to the various quarters
of the republic, sometimes absenting
himself for days at a time.
During these intervals his wife as
sumed the direction of affairs and con-
tinued to entertain or be entertained.
Her energy and resource seemed mex
haustible. Soon she became the social
dictator of the city, and the most ex
elusive circles, American and Pana-
manian alike. allowed her 20 assume
control.
The result was just what had been
designed Tourists and Visiting news
paper people spoke glOwingly of the
amity between the two nations and
wondered at the absence of that Span
fish prejudice of which they had heard
SO much. Those who CHANGED to know
the deeper significance of it all and
were aware of the smoldering resent
ment that lay in the Latin mind COM
mented admiringly upon her work and
wondered what effect it would have
upon the coming election
No one but the woman herself and
her husband really understood the ire
mendous difficulties of theis task or
the vital issues at stake. All whG
same into contact with her recognized
the master mind directing the cam
paign and, consciously or unconscious
~, relegated her husband to the back
ground.
To the Latin intellect this display of
power on the part of the woman was a
revelation. She knew the effect she
produced and made the most of it.
Old Anibal Alfarez was perhaps the
last fully to appreciate her. He did.
however, learn in time that, while he
could successfully match his craft
against that of the husband, the wife
read him unerringly. The result was
that he broke with them openly.
When news Of this reached the mem
bers of the canal commission they
were alarmed, and Colonel Jolson felt
it necessary to make known their
views upon the situation. Accordingly,
q few nights later the Cortlandts dined
at his handsome residence on the
heights above Culebra. After their re
turn to Panama the colonel, in whom
was vested the supreme authority over
his nations interests, acknowledged
that his acquaintance with diplomacy
was as nothing as compared with
Edith Cortlandt's.
"She thinks Garavel is the proper
