mentary

tional organization.

witnesses.

CHAPTER ".

Day was dawning in Buenaventura republic of Sobrante, as invariably il dawns in the tropics-without extend ed preliminary symptoms. The soft, silvery light of a full moon that had stayed out scandalouSly late had merged imperceptihly into gray; the gray was swiftly yielding place to 6 faint crimson that was spreading and deepening upward athwart the east.
 In the patio of Mother Jenks' estab- lishment in the Calle de Concordia No. 19, the first shafts of morning light were Altering obliquely through the orange trees and creeping in un- der the deep, GOthic-arched veranda flanking the western side of the pa tio. Presently, through the silent reaches of the Calle de Concordia, the sound of prodigiOus knocking and humping echoed, as of some fretful individual seeking admission at the street door of Fl .Buen Amigo, by which euphonious designation Mother Jenks' caravansary was known to the public of Buenaventura. In the sec ond story, front, a window slid back and woman's voice, husky with that huskiness that speaks so accusingly of cigarettes and alcohol, demanded:
 "Quien es? Who is it? Que quiere usted? Wot do yer want?"

 'Well, no wonder she didn't recog- nize you when you saluted her to- night" he agreed. "Thought you were another brute of man trying to make a mash. By thunder. Jack, I'm afraid you made a mistake when you shed your whiskers and buried your old clothes"
 "I don't care what she thinks. I found her. I lost her, and I've found her again; and I'm not going to take any further chances"
 The porter, naVlng QellVereu HIS charges baggage in her section, was returning for another tip. Webster reached out and accosted him.
