He had laughed Jerry Carson to
scorn. He could hardly bear to be
civil with him when he brought his
schooner into Porto Delgado upon his
foolish quest.
The only thing that made Ii bear
able, having the American In his
house, seeing Kim engrossed with his
daughter, was the thought that Jerry
would return dlscredited bankrupt.
Daily, after Jerry's departure, her
father praises Sebastian and dis
paraged her nbsent lover. Leontine
grew to hate sebastian, who did not
fail to avail himself of his opportunity
to press his silt.
Then came the day when she re-
turned to find a sailor standing in her
fathers hall, and her father listening
eagerly to his story. Sebastian was
present as well; he was generally
there nowadays. AS Leontine entered
she saw an inscrutable look upon her
fathers face.
"You must prepare to hear bad
news, DEAR" he said.
"What is it?" she cried.
"I'm sorry, ma'am," said the sailor.
II thought it was my duty to come
here. The Portland Girl is lost, with
all hands,"
"It's falsei" cried Leontine instlnc-
lively.
mo, ma'am. 1t can't be false" the
sailor answered.
"Jerry is SAFE" said Leontine grave
ly. "If he were dead my heart would
tell me So"
John Walcott, who felt sorry for his
daughter, made no answer. 1t was
not for two or three days that he
spoke to her. Meanwhile, by precon-
certed agreement, Sebastian had re-
manned away.
"Leontlne," said her father, you
know that my affairs are not In the
best shape just now?"
"Yes," she replied listlessly,
81 am very sorry about Jerry Car
sons death, but don't you think 1t Is
as well to consider Il in its proper
light?"
"What do you call its proper
lightT" she asked.
"a happy dispensation," answered
John Walcott. "Leontine. you are old
enough to stop dreaming and to face
the facts of life. You are past twen-
ty. A rich man and a decent man
wants you to be his wife. Ny future
is precarious. / will not urge the
fact that n marriage with Sebastian
would restore my business affairs. 1

intellectually Murdered.

Randolph Bourne, an editor Of the
New Republic, in an address recently
said American colleges are institutions
In which youths are intellectually
murdered" and the efficiency sys-
ten upon which universities operated
has resulted "in card-indeX sys-
TEN of education impersonal and
materialiStic" This indictment is
true as to the field, but there are
many institutions that are not So,
those that consult the spirit more
than the intellect, and that construct
purpose and aspiration rather than
devote themselves to learning and
knowledge. The fact is that the end
OF education will never be reached or
mankind be substantially advanced
until the spiritual dominates the in
tcllectual in the training of the youth.
II is hard for scholars to understand
that the intellectual is materialistic,
but it is.7-Ohio State Journal.

in the next day Sebastian renewed
his suit. This time he got a tentative
acceptance. Leontine was weakening;
she said that she would consider and
tell him later.
Jerry Carson, picked up by a pass
ing tramp ship from the rock on which
he had lived so long, landed at the
nearest Rort to Porto Delgado and
made his way afoot to the place which
held all his hearts aspirations.
The villagers stared in amazement
at the man who had seemingly returned
from death. They crowded round him.
"In truth, Sebastian will not be
pleased, now that he will find himself
in rivalry again with this Gringo,"
said an old crone to her neighbor.
Jerry heard and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. Soon he had 1t. Reluctant
ly-fOr the Spaniard hates to retail I'M
pleasant news-they confessed that
Sebastian was a daily visitor ut the
house Of the merchant, and that his
engagement to Leontlne was an ar
ticle of faith in the village.
Burning with anger, which he strove
to keep down because Of his faith in
his beloved, Jerry made his way up
the street. The villagers watched him
and shrugged their shoulders. "a
woman is 1ickle," they murmured to
one another.
Meanwhile the last act of the con-
spiracy was being performed in the
merchants house. Diego Navarro,
Sebastian's brother, was pleading Sc
bastian's cause. He had tried to dis
parage Jerry before, but had repent
ed quickly. Now he hoped to overturn
the last scruple in the girls mind.
"This Mr.. Carson" said Diego, In
his soft, well-modulated voice, 'in or
der to defrGy the expenses Of his
schooner trip, he sold some property
(which had come to him from his late
father, did he not?"

leased him and stopped 20 pick up the
forged receipt, which had fallen to the
ground. As he did so, Diego, misin-
terpreting the action, and thinking
that Jerry was about to attack him
again, stumbled as he tried to escape,
slipped and fell backward, striking his
head upon the heavy ornament which
Jerry had thrown down.
His head crashed on the knobbed
metal. He threw up his hands and
struggled to rise. A singular change
passed over his face; he opened his
lips, muttered, and then fell back and
lay still.
Jerry stopped over the PROSTATE
man. Diego was dead.
Mortified, Jerry rose to his feet and
stood staring down at the dead man

only ask that you will accept this
chance"
"Never!" she cried, flushing angrily.
"Why not2"
Because 1 love Jerry. And have
promised to be true TO him."
"Jerry Is dead. There is not one
chance in a million of his having sur
vived. Both the ships boats were
found, one destroyed one empty"
81 will never give up believing IN
him." said Leontine.
''In his survivalT
ain that and in him. l do not love
Sebastian"
John Walcott looked at her in his
aggrieved way. He did not pretend
to understand the obstinacy of his
daughters nature. But he understood
human nature well enough to realize
that she was not at present to be over
come.
He told Sebastian, who set himself
out to be as sympathetic as his nature
would permit. With the exercise of
a good deal of self-control he discard
ed the lover and spoke of his accept
ance OF her decision, and his wish
that they should be friends. Weeks
rolled on, turned into months, and
vanished. 1t was nearly a year after
Jerry's departure that Sebastian lifted
not threw off-the mask.
He told her that, II he could never
win her love, he wanted her COM
partnership. Would she not marry him
as a formallty and nothing moref She
should be free, merely the gracious
mistress OF his hacienda. He would
lay everything at her feet.
Leontine refused, but she was
touched by the mans offer. His SEEM
ing devotion had affected a heart soft
ened by the death of Jerry.
That night her father told her that
unless she married Sebastian he was
ruined man. Otherwise he could not
bring himself to ask the loan which
would convert failure into success.
Leontine was shaken. What did IL
matter, so long as she took only Sc
bastian's name, now that Jerry was

Are you insinuating anything
against Mr.. Carson?" Leontine asked.

boldly. 'You are aware that when
my brother was In New York last year

my brother knew Mr.. Carson well.
Mr.. Carson, in fact, borrowed a con-
siderable sum of money from him in
order to defray the expenses of this
journey. And then-well, when the
property was sold the money went
into the schooner instead of going
back to my brother"
Leontine could not help laughing at
the flimsy trick.

she said, "you would know that such
thing is impossible"

did not understand the qualifications

The signature was a clumsy fraud,
too clumsy for Leontine, who had
half hundred Of her lovers letters.
"It is fraudulent" she said calmly,
handing IL back to the man. 'Mr. Car

At that moment Jerry, in burning

FIRST EPISODE
Treasure-Trov

Porto Delgado slept in the burning
afternoon. The white house fronts,
which reflected the suns intolerable
rays, looked down on the empty street
that wound from the brown grasses
of the Argentine pampas into the
pampas again. The green jalousies
were drawn fast Nobody stirred, ex-
cept few fishermen upon the wharf,
where lay trim, Yankee-built
schooner, the Portland Girl.
Upon her deck, a patch of white
against the blue Of the sky, girl
was standing. Beside her was young
man, eagerly watching her face.
1t was a great moment for each of
them. Leontine Walcott, the only
daughter of an American business
man settled in the little Argentine
port, had come to bid farewell to her
lover, who was about to sail on one
of the strangest cruises that man has
ever made.
Jerry Carson, who had chartered
the schooner, was n successful Ameri-
can writer. He had met Leontine in
the United States two years before,
when her father had taken her there
on one of his infrequent business
trips. He had always been interested
in marine exploration. A few months
earlier he had made discovery while
gathering material for a novel in the
Bahamas. On the strength Of it he
had chartered the schooner and gene
TO Porto Delgado, which was not only
the starting point for his strange
quest, but also the home Of the woman
whom he had come to love more than
anything in the world.
II shall look across the sea every
day in the hope of seeing your ship
come sailing home laden with treas
IRE" said the girl softly.
Jerry Carson hung upon her words
eagerly. He took Leontines hands
in his.
'You believe in me-" he said half
wistfully. "Do you know you are the
only human being who does? All the
rest have called me a fool. Even my
captain thinks l am fool. And your
father"
He looked at her questioningly. Lee
ontine laughed happily.
my father is n man of business"
she answered. ut is natural that he
should put no faith in your idea"
81 suppose it does sound impos-
sible," he admitted. But that bottle
with the message in it, which l picked
up on the shores of the Bahamas, was
unquestionably genuine. 1t was signed
by Joseph Dexter-the message, l
mean. You have heard Of him"
. ''No, Jerry" said Leontlne frankly.
Dexter was a big man in his day.
His ideas were often derided as errat-
ic; nevertheless, they sometimes
proved practical, and he was recog-
nized as the master Of synthetic chem
istry. Even his worst enemies grant
ed that he knew more than the lot Of
them put together. What they sneered
at was his lack Of practically. Well,
perhaps they were right. Anyway,
he disappeared"
