Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

Tom Gallon, owner of the Master
Key mine, dies. leaving his property
to his daughter, Ruth, in care of
John Dorr, the mine engineer, whom
Ruth loves. Wilkersop, superintend-
ent of the mine, plots with Jean
Darnell, an adventures, with whom
he is in love, to deprive Ruth of the
mine. He manages to secure Ruth's
deeds and other papers, and thus
succeeds in forging deeds indicating
that he owns the mine. Ruth and
Dorr borrow money from George
Everett. wealthy friend of DORIS,
to continue the development of the
mine. Meanwhile Dorr and Wilker-
son learn that Gallons map showing
a rich gold strike had been lost in a
chest at sea. The letter furnishes
the exact location of the wreck.
Wilkerson and Mrs. Darnell, follow
ed by Dorr and Ruth, take vessels
and hurry to the spot. Wilkerson's
diver RECEIVERS the chest, but fails to
find the map concealed in the eye of
an idol, which is picked up by sail
or and pawned as curio. The idol
was sold to an East Indian who
sailed with it for India. Dorr, Ruth
AND Sir Donald Faversham followed

Jean Darnell sullenly agreed. but
privately confided to Drake that she
thought Wilkerson had lost his nerve.
The climate did not suit her, nor the
food nor the primitive modes of travel.

Drake promised to do some investigat

more completely under the woman 5
domination, and ne dreamed of finding
the precious papers himself and so put

Strangely enough, the man, weakly
vicious as he was, was possessed by
an honest and whole sOuled love for
Jean.
She knew this. and at times her
tawny eyes rested ON him with unmis-
taxable affection, but she knew per-
fectly well that she would choose

Wv
A2&3 of Bhala. Sir Donald Faver-
sham prepared to start the new day.
He could not well realize just what
had happened in the twenty four hours
that had just ended. 1t needed the
commonplace details of mornings
toilet to make things seem actual
And what facts they were that
cha kged his whole future!
Ruth had promised to marry him.
Faversham belonged TO that great
class of Englishmen who unite the
virtues of careful training with an
adaptability to circumstance which
has made Great Britain the colonizer
of the world.
He was as formal in many ways as
a clock. In others he could amaze the
most impulsive and impressiOnable ad-
venturer.
When he first met Ruth he had had
not the faintest notion of wooing her.
His admiration had been frank and
unreserved, but without any underly-
ing depth of feeling.
His volunteering to join John Dorr
and Ruth in this wild search for the
missing idol had been what he called
a lark.
1t was only long association with her,
the constant view Of her pretty limo
cence and an occasional glimpse OF her
profounder and womanly nature that
had touched his heart and wakened in
him feelings that he had refrained
from confessing to himself.
Then came the moment when she
had turned to him for help and he had
been the single person in the world
Fho could save John Dorr.
Sharp and brief as had been the
struggle in his own mind. 1t had
brought him to an acknowledgment OF
the fact that she was the only woman
he wanted for his wife.
On the very tick OF her hour OF trou-
BILE he had ventured to ask his reward
for service
SShe had promised, and now he, barO-
net and retired officer of the British
army. shook like boy nj the thought
of the happiness that awaited him.
They met ut breakfast. Dorr still
showing the effects of his nights ad-
ventures. Ruth bright eyed from want
of sleep and Sir Donald alone present
ing the appearance of one who had be-
gun the day Alright after sound
nights rest.
Their natural topic of conversation
was OF DORIS attempt 10 capture the
idol and Sir DOnnld's rescue OF him.
John could give little satisfaction to
Ruths minute inquiries, and the Eng
lishman confessed that he himself,
though much more familiar with the
native ways and native temples. had
not much notion OF exactly how 1t had
all come about nor how he had found
Dorr and extricated him.
The only thing ! gather from IL all
Is this" he said amiably. You had

Donald remarked, pointing to a much
bedraggled native who had entered the
compound and was evidently waiting
for some one.
That's my old servant" he contin-
ued. "If you will excuse me I'll go and
hear what he has to tell u.s."
Ruth and John watched the two OF

They could see that the latter was
