were one bit presumptuous. II was
wonderfully dear Of you, and l am

Callph."
"Not at all, not at all, Miss Ruey.
Bill is one Of the impulsive, whlri-
wind kind. up In the clouds today
and down in the slough OF despond
tomorrow. He'll survive the shock.
However, I'm glad to know everything
will come out all right. Seeing you
here gave me a momentary chilli
thought a cog had slipped somewhere
so helped myself to Cupid's license
and asked. A man cannot learn very
much from a woman unless he asks

Things ordained that on the subject
Of love man must do all the talking"
"Yes, but on the other hand, wom-

ever, the only thing In your case and
Billy's that worries me is the thought
that since Bill left his magnet behind

"Do not worry on that point, Ca
llph. l am your ally there; between
us both l think we can manage him."
"Flne business And with those
few kind words wen dismiss William
until you care to talk about him again,
although II you're as deep in love as
Bill you'll not stay of the subject
very long. Hope you haven't been
into mischief"
II haven't been idle. I've made sew

done lot OF fancy work and begun
the study Of my mother tongue. II
my brother should become president
OF this country, Il would Ill become his
sister not to be able to speak Spanish.
BY the way, Billy told me you were
going to remain up In the hills quite
while yet. What brought you back
to town so soonT
Expected I'd have some freight ar
irving shortly"
"How long win you remain In Bue-

main until the political atmosphere
should be cleared, although prior to
his conversation with Dolores he had
cherished definite plan to go back
TO the hills within As hours.
'Tm going back" he replied sober
ly, after l have kept my promise
and introduced you to your brother
In the government palace. II can
not introduce him to you there, the H.
tie TO our mining concession will be
clouded, In which event II will not be
necessary for Billy or myself to fuss
with II further"

fight a government despot In courts
