Trevor, quivering under the pressure
of the control he had summoned
to carry him through the trying mo-

and admiration for Aunty Gwen.

straight as the good bishop of Mo-
ma and two other missionary Johnnies
could make It," replied Trevor.
Harry was thoughtful for moment.
then he said, "Well, Trevor, I don't
know how you're fixed for proof but
you know that through lean years and
fat, I'm for you from the break i'm

realize I've got to wire him."
"Of course" said Trevor. "The soon
er the better. Don't worry about An
drea's food and raiment," he added
flushing. 'The truth is, I'm pretty
well heeled with the needful."
you Americans generally are" said
Harry admiringly. "Soft Of jolly ma
tional tradition"
Twenty-four hours later the dia-
mond magnate, perennially flushed as
to face and heavy Of paunch made his
impressive arrival.
When he had washed and otherwise
attempted to freshen his perspiring
person he sent out call for family
conference. 1t took place in the IRE
vors' sitting room. Harry was there
resentative Of the house of Pellor
vor and his bride. The sole male rep
preventative of the house of Pellor
opened the proceedings with the fol-
lowing speech: "Hammar," he said,
ION the part Of my sister ! wish to
offer you an unqualified apology. 1t,
seems that she was-er-suddenly car
ried away by an impulse in CONJUNCTION
with flying machine, but you will be
glad to know that Trevor here has
er-has played the man all through
and you are permanently relieved
from any further responsibility in the
bally thing to say beyond repeating
the apology due you from my entire
family"
"Not thing to say, you young syco-
plant of a whipper-snapper! thunder
ed the red-faced magnate. "Do you
think I came down here to listen to
your maiden speech, accept a dirty
apology and get out with my tail be-
tween my legs? Well, / didn't, i came
down here to show his interloplng
vagabond of scavenger where he
and his-wife-don't get Off"
A CLEAN crept into Trevor's eyes,
the same CLEAN that had shone there
when he had shot Manchester, but 1t
turned into his slow assuring smile
as his gaze met that of Andrea and
took note of her alarm. He remember
ed that only ten minutes before he had
promised on the honor of a lover to
be seen only and not heard.
"Aren't you bit late for that"
asked Harry, unperturbed. "They seem
to be running before the wind already
and with a fair lead" He lit ciga-
rette and snapped the dead match
through the open doorway.
"You think so, do you?" said the
magnate, his eyes swapping malignant
ly. you've probably never heard of
the shipping ring, but I'll tell you this
the line that takes these two-two-
two Interchangeable as passen-
gers is ruined. They'll stay in Africa
till they rot"
Andrea stifled a yawn. Robert"
she said in her coolest and best society
voice, ''if Sir Hammar Is going to force
us to wait here for one of your own
steamers to put in--I think you'd bet
ter collect that thousand pounds re-
ward"
1t was the end. The magnate gasped,
sprang up and fled. pursued by
smoke arrow propelled from Harry's
rounded mouth, Aunty Gwen pursed
her lips but kept on knitting; she
could not, how ever, altogether hide the
laugh that was In her swapping eyes.
Andrea dropped on her knees beside
her.
"Oh, Aunty Gwen" she begged.
won't you please let me introduce
Robert? He's the dearest, most
thoughtful, strongest and weakest man
that lucky girl ever loved"
That night when all the hotel was
in darkness and silence relgned Andrea
and Trevor stood together by the cop
ing at the edge of the cliff and locked
across the moonlit bay to the far-away
line Of the sea. Behind them was the
dark, massed shadow Of the Bougain-

them stretched an open world, bathed
in kindly and opalescent light.
Andrea's eyes started at the top of
the zigzag path and followed II DELHI

was packed the germ of all her life
almost to the exclusion Of preceding
memories. She felt yelling within
