Cafetero, Mother jerks proceeded up
stairs to her chamber, clothed her
self, and adjourned to the kitchen.
After giving orders for an extra spe-
cial breakfast for two, Mother jerks
returned to her cantina, and formally
opened the same for the business OF
that day and night.
To her came presently, via the tiled
hallway, the object of her solicitude
a young man on the sunny side of
thirty. He was thin for one Of his
height and breadth of chest; In color
his countenance resembled, that Of q
sick Chinaman. His hair was thick
and wavy, but lusterless; his dark
blue eyes carried a hint Of jaundice
and generous mouth, beneath an
equally generous upper lip, gave am
pie ground for the suspicion that while
Mr.. William Geary's speech denoted
him an American citizen, at least one
Of his maternal ancestors had been
wooed and won by an Irishman. An
old Panama hat, sad relic of pros
porous past, a pair Of soiled buckskin
pumps, suit Of unbleached linen
equally befouled, and last but not
least, the remnants of a smile that
much hard luck could never quite OBJ
literate, completed his attire-and to
one stranger in the tropics would
appear to constitute complete inven-
tory of Mr.. Geary's possessions.
'Dulce corazon milo, extend a
greeting" he called at the entrance.
II trust you rested well last night,
Mother jerks, and that no evil dreams
were born of your midnight repast of

sagely and not whit abashed, els at
the apex of her feminine charms at
thirty-seven."
He knew his landlady to be not a
day under fifty, but such is the ease
with which the Irish scatter their
blarney that neither Billy Geary nor
Mother jerks regarded this pretty
speech in the light Of an observation
immaterial, inconsequential and not
germane to the matter at issue. New
ertheless, there was deeper reason
for his blarney. This morning. watch

"And like an old burro, you won't

swore half.heartedly and promulgated
the trite proverb that life is Just one
blank thing after the other--an in
choate mass Of liver and disappoint-
mentl
"Do you find It sol" Webster queried
alphabetically
Suspectlng that he was being
twitted, Jerome looked up sharply,
prepared TO wither Webster with that
glance. But no, the man was abso-
lutely serious; whereupon Jerome
realized the futility of further argu-
ment and gave John Stuart Webster
MP for total loss. Still. he could not
help smiling rs he reflected how Web
ster had planned year of quiet en-
Joyment and Fate had granted him
one brief evening. He marveled that
Webster could be so llght-henrted and
contented under the circumstances.
Webster read his thoughts. "Good-
bye, old man." he said, and extended
his hand. Don't worry about me-
Allah Is always kind to fools, my
friend; sorrow Is never their portion.
In answering Billy's call have feel

edge would not have changed his an

Geary's mining concession in Sobrante,
John Stuart Webster, like Mr.. Pepys,
was up betimes.
Nine o'clock found him In the office
Of his friend Joe Daingerfeld, Of the
Bingham engineering works, where,
within the hour, he had in his charnc-
teristically decisive fashion purchased
the machinery for ten-stamp mill. II
was nice order, and Daingerfield
was delighted.

Webster grinned. "You don't sup

From DaingerHelds Office Webster
went forth to purchase a steamer
trunk. his railway ticket and sleep

returned to his hotel and set about
packing for the Journey.

She snuggled back among the pill

poets OF this amazing contract which
she had undertaken with perfect

there, thinking over this preposterous
situation, and the more she weighed
