Professor Ambrose laughed outright at
the success of his jest. 1t tickled him inn
mensely that Ybarra should have misun-
derstood.
"You see," Jacobson explained to me
carefully, ito the professor the greatest
treasure the Spanish Main could disgorge
would be new species of some insignif-
cant plant. And with his enthusiasm for
his science it was to him in reality
treasure hunt. He had simply got into
the habit of expressing it in terms of
buried doubloons, so that the ordinary
lay mind might grasp what it meant to
him."
"a figure Of speech" I suggested.
"Yes, but such metaphors are pretty
likely to be misinterpreted down here. If
the comandante had got wind of that
metaphor, Professor Ambrose would have
had spies around him like a cloud of mos
quitoes at every step on that innocent
botanizing excursion. However, let that
pass. When | came up to the house."

toward the doorway, where at any mo-

had managed to elude his guests at last,
and he came swiftly out, stopping short
at the sight Of me.

in any case Well, when | came up to
the house | saw the girl seated alone on
the veranda. The sun was nothing but
red ball, slipping down behind the Para
mintan hills, their great green flanks dark
ening in the shadow. The white mass of
Villa Nueva had begun to take on faint,
luminous glow in the approaching dusk.
"THE girl was sitting very still, one hand
under her chin, looking out across the
distant bay My step on the veranda
startled her, but she smiled when she
recognized me-a slow, indescribable
smile that seemed to struggle to overcome
some reluctance of her lips. Without
stirring in her chair, she offered me her
hand. Something in her action gave me
queer impression; it was as if she were
sitting there exhausted after some unusual
physical effort. Her eyes, however,
shone like stars.
"So,' began, you found your way
to Villa Nueva. And the others?'
"Her head, with the slightest percep-
tible motion, indicated their presence
indoors.
"Then you found Senior Ybarra at

"They mounted to the veranda, and
Ybarra gave orders in Spanish to the
servant that appeared. A sudden shout
from Marchant caused them all to turn.
The youth was waving his hand to Mrs.
Rutledge and Professor Ambrose who
had come into sight, leisurely toiling up
the avenue.
AMY uncle and aunt, explained the
girl as Ybarra looked toward her in un-
easy inquiry. AS he drew forward
chair for her, she managed to whisper
question:
"'Isn't this very risky thing to do?'
"The servants speak nothing but Span

"SHE had taken off her straw hat and
- she gave it to him with quick upward
smile as he bent down to take it. Their
fingers touched for an instant-a quiver-
ing, startled contact He had moments
close vision of her as he bent over her,
catching the faint perfume about her
and surveying her blond, girlish beauty,
intensified in his eyes after those years of
separation.
Mrs. Rutledge and Professor Ambrose
came up and were introduced. You see,
he had known the girl in New YORK these
relatives of hers were Boston people. Tea
was brought out, and other refreshments,
Ybara playing the host with a sort of
feverish gayety. He was becoming more
and more restive as he was forced to go
further with the deception he was acting
before her; and she was tense with fear
lest at any moment his audacity might
bring exposure. Where was Senior
Ybarra? she wondered.
"The others, quite unaware of all this,
were making a jovial party of it. If
Ybarra wasn't an American like them
selves he was as good as one Mrs
Rutledge's approval of him had been i'm
mediate-and, likewise, of Villa Nueva,
and then archly scolded him for burying
himsef-at his age-in such utter soli-
tude. He unwillingly found himself
drawn off into a sort of t6te-a-t6te with
her, while Miss Rutledges eyes furtively
watched HIM and her ears strained to
catch his every word above Jimmy Mar
chants chatter al her side.
And you bachelor, was the further
fact which the artful Mrs. Rutledge had
speedily elected and then pretended to
reproach him with. Il dare say there are
maidens in Paraminta that are longing
to have the run of this delightful place
"To Ybarra, conscious of the girls eyes
upon him, the colloquy was intolerable.
To end it, he abruptly invited them all
to come inside and inspect Villa Nueva.
They went through the large, darkened
rooms, dutifully admiring the strange,
exotic richness of the interior Jacobson
shrugged his shoulders with suggestion
of disdain "The lavishness of Ybarra's
expenditure was evident, and yet to me

exactly-it was as if a sense of frustrated
effort were present everywhere.

NEVADA COUNTY MAY
 GET NAT. HIGHWAY
Money Raised Yesterday For Surveying Road Through the County Which Will Fill Link
 Southern National Highway.

On yesterday afternoon Mir. R. R. Thompson, president of Crescent College, was in the city in the inter- est of his school located at Eureka Springs. MT. Thompson is a member of the State Highway Commission, and several citizens of Prescott re- quested him to deliver an address on the method of obtaining this county's pro rata of the federal appropriation for good roads which he kindly con- sented to do. About 3:30 a few of the prominent citizens gathered at the court house and MT. Thompson delivered an address which gave the people more information on this sub- ject than they had been able to obtain from any other source. He showed that the Texas system of highways will concentrate at Texarkana and that national highway will be built from Memphis to Little Rock and that already in Miller county a good road nearly completed from Texar- kama to Fulton, and that it depended upon Clark, Hampstead and Nevada counties as to whether this highway should practically parallel the Iron Mountain railroad or run further west through other counties to Hot Springs

U. 5. WILL IGNORE
 PEACE INTERTIEW
Believe Lansing Interview of Few Days Ago Enough Peace Offers Always Follow German Successes.

Washington, July 30.-German Chancellor Michaelis' peace interview is regarded at the State Department as another German attempt to bolster up public opinion at home, appeal to the peace sentiment in enemy and neutral countries and create dissen- sions between the allies. At the Rus sian embassy, it was stated to be wholly incorrect in fact.
 State Department officials say that while Germany attempts by innuendo to foster on France a vast campaign of conquest with hope of making a breach with the new Russian democ- racy, Michaelis makes no suggestion that Germany herself has in any way revised her war programme or ac- cepted the principle of no annexation. The new attempt at peace is cOnsid- cred as hollow as the many others which have always followed a sue cessful offensive and which took their most tangible form in the official Ger man peace offer of Dec. 12. The maneuver is viewed as similar to that one which had the purpose of getting the allies about a conference table where Germany hoped to instill diff ferences between them and split up the alliance.
 At that time Ambassador Bern stortf here was offering feelers which could be repudiated at will.
 The government, it is stated, will take no notice of the latest German

Berlin, July 30, via London-Ger- man troops are advancing through the Suchawa Valley, in the Austrian province of Bukowina, towards the town of Seletyn, it was announced officially today by the German gen. eral staff. The Germans also have pushed forward to the east of the Upper MoldaVa valley.
 The statement says the Russians are holding the heights to the east of the River Zborcz, on the Russian frontier, which has been crossed by the Teutons at several points.
 Despite the resistance of the Rus sans between the Dieper and Pruth rivers, the German statement says that the Teuton forces pressed back the Russians to a point southwest of Zaleshchyky.

Anyone who has not contributed to the above may do so and it will lessen the expense of those who have con- tributed.
 Mir. Thompson informed the mem- bers present that the money expended for this initial survey would be re- funded to the subscribers if the road was constructed, the money being re- funded out of the money received from the federal fund. He also stated that ordinarily the cost of making the initial survey was something like S5 per mile.
 There being no further business to come before the body, the meeting was on motion adjourned.

 WHO EVADED DRAFT
AttOrney-GeneraI Orders a Roundup of Slackers-They Will Be Brought in and Given Draft Numbers.

Washington, July 3O.-Declaring that thousands of men of draft age evaded registration and have escaped the call to the army, Atty-Gen. Greg ory today instructed all United States attorneys to begin a roundup of the slackers and start criminal prosecutions.
 The attorney general says that from reports made up to July Is, it appears that thousands of men es- caped and emphasized the importance to the government of prompt search.
 District attorneys, he said, are not expected to make a house to house canvass, nor comparison of the registration list with the various tax and voting lists of each county, but are to engage in assistance of local officers or voluntary organizations whenever that can be done. When slackers are found they are to be registered, and to be assigned by lot to serial numbers of persons ex- empted.
