Sefior Ybarra's estate.
"That party in the Algonquin-I was
ready enough to believe that they had put
in here on treasure-hunt. You know
how people will try it, off and on. There's
something about the vision of chests of
Spanish doubloons buried in the sand

to let herself in for tropical cruise in
midsummer, couldn't imagine.

hadn't the faintest glimmer of an idea
that his name wasn't Ybarra."
LIE stopped abruptly, and went over
= to the doorway where he stood for
a moment, wiping his forehead with his
handkerchief, and looking out across the
bay, now deep sapphire, flecked with
bits of white where the water curled
across the reefs.
"Beastly hot, isn't it?' he said over his
shoulder. "Well, the party set out pres

captain of their yacht-Captain Scovllle.

for the meager hospitality my narrow
quarters permitted of, but | wanted them
to feel that the consulate was entirely
theirs, such as it was. l hoped they
would make themselves at home. With
twenty-four hours leeway | could offer
them dinner. Wouldn't they honor me
on the following evening?
"They were very nice about it, | must
say. They couldn't think of putting me
to such lot of trouble. Instead, wouldn't
| dine with them on the Algonquin? But |
insisted that they must let me celebrate.
So we agreed on lunch the next day at the
consulate, and dinner at night on the
yacht. Meanwhile l had expressed my
surprise that they had ventured so far
south in midsummer.
"Oh, we've come treasure-hunting,
spoke up Professor Ambrose. He was
short, wiry little man, with a close-cut
beard and beady black eyes. 'One can't
be balked by the thermometer when it's

Main, you know

Then | noticed that the little professor
was laughing at me. He explained that
the treasure he was after was rare plants
of some sort. The Twin Brother islands,
lying off the mouth of the bay, were his
objective He wanted to do little hota-
nzing there. Presumed there would be
no objection to poking about the shores
of those islands, would there?
"Why, no, thought not The islands
belonged to Senor Ybarra. No one

jacobson smiled.
you'll be putting that question to me
more than once, Captain, before I've fin

listen. How Miss Rutledge got separated
from her two companions, though, can't
say. PERHAPS they halted to view the
bay after their climb, and the girl may
have impulsively started on again by
herself. At any rate, she was the first to
set foot upon the grounds of Villa Nueva
Half way up that line of royal palms, she
came upon Ybarra himself, superintend-
ing a couple of workmen at some job or
other"
Jacobson's cigar had gone out, and he
now discarded it to take up his pipe,
crossing the room to get tobacco. With
his back toward me as he filled the pipe
from canister, he suddenly shot ques-
ton at me:
captain Haskell, in your speculations
about Phillips and that financial mess he
fled from, did it ever occur to you that
he might have left sweetheart in New
York;"
"Heavens" | calculated. "You don't
mean to tell me-not that girl? Not
really?"
He turned, with the pipe in his lips, to
observe the effect that his sinister ques-
ton had evoked.

badly" he said in mock-apologetic tone.
"You aren't telling it at ALL" |
retorted "You're tempting me to inn
agine Phillips and that girl coming sud-
denly face to face after all these years
of-well, what? Utter silence? Just as
if the earth had swallowed him up?"
Something like that, assented the
consul. He came leisurely back to his
chair, and it creaked sharply under his
weight as he sat down. "There they
were-the two of demonstrating at each
other, face to face, across that gap of
five silent years. 1t seems that she had
never doubted his honesty. Even his
fiight-without warning to her except
for a short, despairing note, such as a
suicide might pen in his last hour-had
not shaken her belief in him. And, while
she may have grieved that he had weak
ened under the strain and stress, her
heart couldn't help finding excuses for
the poor devil. AS matter of fact, |
believe it wasn't his own hapless lot that
goaded him to that crazy step, SO much as
his despairing realization that he had done
not only for himself, but for her too. He
couldn't ask her to share the stigma.
He felt in honor bound to take himself
out of her life regardless of the damning
consciousness to himself in the worlds
eyes"
"Of course you're not theorizing about
all this?' | demanded sarcastically.
"And do you want me to believe that
Ybarra didn't carry away his share of
that vanished half Million" went on
ruthlessly-"that he was quite innocent,
and had simply yielded to a romantic
streak in his makeup? Is that it?'
Jacobson ignored the question.
81 suppose we've got to concede cer-
tain weakness in Ybarra-l mean, in his
going off as he did. That wouldn't alter
the fact that he was completely in love
with Eleanor Rutledge, would it? | sup
pose, in the sudden overwhelming mo-
ment of their meeting again, under those
palms, where he was bossing those native
workmen, things couldn't be explained in
jiffy-there was too much pressing for
utterance. And they could have had at
best only a fleeting minute or two, for
young Marchant and the Captain were
close on her heels. 1t was with real alarm
that she saw them approaching, and
turned passionately to him.
"'They mustn't know-and they won't
know she said hurriedly You see, we
were all coming up here to call on your

can't tell them who you are-not just
now! What shall we do?'
"He had no time to debate so imminent
problem. In the whirl of the moment,
he did realize, however, that she had
quite mistaken his presence there on the
lawn at Villa Nueva. She had taken him
for the young manager of the estate whom
| had told them of. And he couldn't
explain in two words his possession Of
Villa Nueva. He instantly snatched at
the only subterfuge that suggested itself.
"Just pretend that I'm Ybarra. 1t
will be all right, he said in low tones as
her companions came up.
"She introduced them nervously to
Senior Ybarra, and surprise instantly
shone in their faces, as Ybarra extended
a cordial hand to them and a welcome in
straight American fashion.
"'Well,' promptly blurted out Jimmy

to do but read the newspapers, so l fol-
lowed the reports of the Phillips case
from day to day. The young man had
had sudden rise in Wall Street, and
then had gone into some mining develop
ment schemes, and had overreached
himself. His lawyers maintained he had
been victimized by a group of unscru-
pulous promoters who had made him
e-president in the company to insure
his usefulness as a cat t's-paw.
"Half million dollars had been poured
into the scheme-largely through Phillips
personal efforts-before it fell through.
When the storm broke, it naturally CEN
tered upon Phillips. There was trial, OF
course, but nothing was ever proved
except, of course, that the money had dis
appeared. There was no doubt about
that. The jury disagreed which, on the
whole, was bad thing for Phillips.
Everybody constituted himself a jury,

son. 81 think he told me that he had been
working in Mexico and had got a touch OF
fever. Thought the sea air here might do
him good. He looked pretty seedy at the
time"
"Seedy?" | rejoined. "Well, rather!
There was shabby, down-at-heels aspect
about him. 1t occurred to me that, If he
had sequestered his share of the half
million that had gone gimmerlng, he
wasn't levying on it as yet very strongly.
Next time | saw him was in Kingston.
That must have been year later. He
came on board the Bellefair, bound back
here to Paraminta. He was quite spruced

He told me that he had taken an option

going to start plantation"
JACOBSON spoke abruptly:
