Land of Always Afternoon. William
was remaining, and he favored me
with a condensed oral autobiography
as we sat on the sands in the shade
cast by the Bodega Nacional.
AS usual, became aware that the
Man from Bombay had already writ

It to an eight word sentence l have be-
come an expansionist and have quoted
his phrase above with apologies to him
and best regards to Terence.
"Don't you ever have a desire to go
back to the land of derby hats and
starched collars?' l asked him. "You
seem to be handy man and a man Of
action" l continued, land 1 am sure 1
could find you a comfortable job some
where in the States"
Ragged, shiftless, barefooted, con-
flrmed eater of the lotos, William Trot-
ter had pleased me much, and l hated
tosee him gobbled up by the tropics.
1--WE no doubt you could" he said,
idly splitting the bark from a section
of sugar cane. 1--WE no doubt you
could do much for me. If every man
could do as much for himself as he
can for others every country in the
world would be holding millenniums
instead Of centennials."
There seemed to be pabulum in w.
It's words. And then another idea
came to me.

who owned manufactories-cotton or

In the commercial line. He was vul-
carly rich, and therefore reverenced

I knew that Brother James would hon

from him a position in cotton OF sugar
or sheetings for William Trotter-some-
thing, say, at 5000 month or there
abouts. 1 confided my beliefs and
made my propositions to William. He
had pleased me much, and he was
ragged.
While we were talking there was a
sound of firing guns-four or five, rat
tlingly, as if by squad. The cheer |
full noise came from the direction of

and sat down beside me.
II had noticed there was a kind OF
a village back of the beach, and enough
scenery to outfit a dozen moving pic
ture shows. But 1 thought, of course,
1t was a cannibal suburb, and 1 was
wondering whether I was to be serv-
ed with carrots or mushrooms. And,
as l say, this dressed up man sits be-
side me, and we become friends in the
space of minute or two. For an hour
we talked, and he told me all about it.
ut seems that he was a man of
parts, consciousness and plausible
ity, besides being educated and a
wreck to his appetites. He told me
all about it. Colleges had turned him
out and distilleries had taken him in.
Did I tell you his name? 1t was Cliff
ford Wainwright. / didn't exactly
catch the cause of his being cast away
on that particular stretch of South
America, but I reckon it was his own
business. l asked him If he'd ever
been second cook on a tramp fruiter,
and he said no; so that concluded my
line Of surmises. But he talked like
the encyclopedia from 'A-Berlin' to
'Trilo-Zyria.' And he carried a watch
"a silver arrangement with works,
and up to date within twenty-four
hours, anyhow.
"I'm pleased to have met you,' says
Wainwright. I'm a devotee to the
great joss Booze, but my Eliminating
facilities are unrepaired,' says he, or
words to that effect. And l hate says
he, to see fools trying to run the
world
II never touch DROP says l., and
there are many kinds of fools, and the
world runs on its own apex, accord
ing to science, with no meddling from
me-

president of this republic. His country
is in a desperate condition. Its treas
