 Manuel frightened, leaped away.
 "We usually sleep until noon," went on O'Neill He counted on that En- ter the catbird. Sat on our window sill at 10 q. m. and screeched. Woke us up. We felt uneasy. Went to the office, broke down a bolted door and found what was up."
 Dog" foamed Manuel "Outcast of the gutter"-
 Save your compliments! MT. Mey- rick, my partner is now at the Mail office destroying today's issue of the Mall. We've already ruined the first page form, the cut of the policy and the negative. And we're going north as fast as the Lord will let us. You can do what you please. Arrest our little lemon tinted employer if you want to-"
 Spencer Meyrick stood, considering.
 However, I've done you a favor," O'NeilI went on. You can do me one. Let Manuel off-on one condition"
 "Name it."

 "Then it's the police" hlnted O'NellL.
 Gonzale took two yellow bills from a wallet. He tossed them at O'Neill.
 "There, you cur
 Careful" cried O'Nein, "Or I'll punch you yet.'
 He started forward, but Gonzale hastily withdrew. O'Neln and the millionaire followed to the street.

 And the newsboys on Park row.
 "Caruso cant touch them. Where can we find time table, wonder?"
 Meanwhile, in a corner of the plaza, Manuel Gonzale spoke sad words in the ear of Martin Wall.
 Its the jinX," moaned Wall, with conviction. "The star player in every thing do down here. I'm going to burn the sand hotfo0ting 1t away. But whither, Manuel, whither?"
 Tn Porto Rico," replied Gonzale, 'T have not yet piled my trade. I go there"
 Palm Beach," sighed Wall, "has dia- mOnds that can be observed to spar kle as far away as the New York so- ciety columns. But, alas, lack the wherewithal to support me In the style to which my victims are accustomed"
 "Try Porto Rico" suggested Gonzale. "Thc air is mild-so are the police. I will stake you"
 Thanks. Porto Rico 1t is How the devil do we get there"
 Up the main avenue of San Marco Spencer Meyrick walked as a man go- ing to avenge. With every determined step his face grew redder, his eye more dangerous. He looked at his watch. Eleven.
 The eleventh hour! But much might happen between the eleventh hour and high noon.

His brother, hastily pressed into service as best man, set puffing at cigar with a perSistency which indi- cated Q somewhat perturbed state of mind on his own part,
 Brace up, Allan" he urged. "Ifl be over before you realize it. Remem- Der my own wedding Cad, wasn't l frightened? Always that way with a man. No sense to it, but he just can't help 1t. Never forget that little par Tor, with the flower of Marion society all about, and me with my teeth chat tering and my knees knocking to- gether."
 Tt is a bit of an ordeal" said Allan weakly. "Chap feels all sort of-gone -inside"-
