CHAPTER VII.

William was confronted with a gen.
uine mystery, and he wasn't sure that
he liked 1t. He viewed the affair from
all available angles. but he could not
find shallow water anywhere. A man,
possessed of a scientific knowledge Of
anatomy, had laid out william Gro
gan as nice as you please and taken
his wallet: then he had given it back,
indirectly; but that didn't matter
the act, not the method, was the i'm
portant thing. 1t wasn't a question
of belated conscience. The man
hadn't gone through that series Of
gymnastics for the mere sport of 1t.
1t was possible, however, that the
holdup man had tackled the wrong
individual. But even then. thirty dol
lars wouldn't grow any smaller for
that. William decided that it was
not the work of professional. Fat
chance for that breed on board the
Ajax. where the wealth of the pas
sensers consisted of small bills few
and slim letters of credit. People
who could afford to travel on their
own, without the tender solicitude of
Thomas Cook, had real bank accounts.
Finally he gave UP the puzzle. There
was neither head nor tail to it, ANY,
how, he had thirty to blow in whom
he landed at Gibraltar.
Having resigned himself to the loss.

the recovery was like finding it; and
eternally the poor never save any,
thing they find. William had mapped
out plan for spending only FIVE doll
lars in each port or town he visited
spending money, you understand; FIVE
In Gibraltar, five in Naples and so on
until he landed in San Francisco. He
had written down this budget in de-
tall and had sworn to keep within 1t.
BY this method Of economy he would
arrive in America with something over
a thousand dollars. But tomorrow he
would spend thirty dollars in Gibral-
tar.
As he was leaving the purser's Of
nee the next morning, after having
wisely deposited his letter of credit,
he heard some one exclaim, "Spain"
He ran out to the port rail. Blue
sky and blue sea, and a thin ribbon OF
salmon-tinted rock in between: that
was all he could see. But there was
some peculiar magic in the sight; 1t
stirred thousand little cells in his
head. Yonder was the Spain Of the
Armada, Of the golden galleons and
black-browed pirates. of mighty con-
quest and quick decay; and here was

his very own eyes. One was a great
historical fact; the other was a plain,
downright miracle.

none too particular when I'm mad"
I'll beat it, said Camden, seri-
ously. Come and have a pop while

The three of them trooped out Of the
doctors cabin and headed for the
smokeroom. AS william drank his
ginger-ale a brilliant idea popped
into his head. He excused himself
and sought an interview with the
purser.
Say, any laps on board?"
"Oh, yes; two second -class passen-

"A goat, sir? But we don't permit

the purser, with lively distress.

Nope. Some one got my goat last

But William shook his head sadly and
turned away. Still. he had found out
what he wanted to know. The Jap

the last person to jump on his back.

some deckhand. Thirty dollars was

They Wouldn't Suit Her.

Inc conquered cannon, pointing up

heaven which the heroes of Verdun
had gazed at. The soldier stepped
alongside a piece with a menacingly
long neck. He lifted his head, and

habituated to reverie and again be-
came sensitive to nature. ne exclain,-

Gabrielle raised her head in turn.
Because she had been so long SOL

toned to reverie and eager to imagine
the spectacle of battle She also was
moved She, too. forgot her sulks.
She remembered only her own suf-
ferings and the berils which Philippe
had faced. She felt her heart beat
and found Philippe imposing-her big
blond fighter standing there beside
the monstrous cannon whose thunder
he had braved.
Gently she draws nearer. until she
brushes his shoulder. With equal
gentleness Philippe puts his arm
around her waist.

Of the moon! Gabrielle murmurs:

She had said my dear" in her
voice of long ago-in the tone which
never had failed to accomplish her
purpose. And Philippe. without
trace of annoyance or bitterness. re-

We both have longed for this mo-
ment Of return. Nights and nights
like his we have vanquished sleep

Your friends never will compre-

they are received. My dear. they have
the right to the first place, to rest, to
happiness. Otherwise why should

At the close Of that evening. which
they had expected to be gay and
cheerful. they had quarreled on reach
ing the street. Thus in a way they
justified the wisdom Of their hosts.
And the real reason was that a love

many precautions to be taken while
1t is in process of being restored to a
