CHAPTER XVI.
Lord MaIlow Intervenes.

Two months went by. In that time
Sheila and Dyck did not meet, though
Dyck saw her more than once in the
distance at Kingston. Yet they had
never met since that wonderful day
at Salem, when they had parted. as #
might seem, forever Dyck had had
news Of her, however, for Darius Bo-
land had come and gone between the
two plantations. and had won Michael
Clones confidence. He knew more,
perhaps. than he ever conveyed to
Dyck, who saw him and talked with
him, gave him advice as to the Gus
toms of Jamaica, and let him see the
details In the management Of En-
niskillen.
One day Boland brought word that
the governor had, more than once.
visited Salem with his suite; that he
had sat in judgment on a case in
Kingston concerning the estate of Sa-
lem, and had given decision IN its IA
vor: and that Mrs. Llyn and Sheila
visited him at Spanish Town and were
entertained at Kings house at second
breakfast and dinner-In short, that
Lord MaHow was making hay in
Salem plantation. This was no sur
prise to Dyck. He had full intuition
of the foray the governor would make
on Sheila. her estate and wealth.
Lord Mallow had acted with dis
erection. and vet with sufficient pas
sion to warrant some success. He
was trying to make for himself a fu-
ture which might mean the control Of
a greater colony even. If he had
wealth. that would be almost a Ger
tainty. and he counted Sheila's gold
as a guarantee Of power So, steadily
and happily, he pressed his suit. It

Darius Boand's face took on a
strange look. Here was an intended
insult to Dyck Calhoun Right wei
the governor knew their relative So
cial positions.
Darius pdiied AT the hair on his chin

ing what am and employed by whom
l am"
Darius Boland had gift of saying
the right thing in the right way, and
ne had said it now. The governor was
not so dense as to put this man
against him, for women were curious
folk. They often attach importance
TO the opinion of a faithful servant
and let it weigh against great men. He
had once lost a possible fortune by
squirting a little terrier Of the daugh-
ter Of the earl of Shallow, and the
lesson had sunk deep into his mind
"Ah, well, he has drunk with worse
men than republicans, Boland. He
was a common sailor. He drank what
was given him with whom it CHANGED
in the fo'castle"
Darius shifted a little, and kept his
head. but he changed all that, your
honor, and gave sailormen better
drink than they ever had, l hear. In
Jamaica he treats his slaves as though
they were men and not M0hicans."
We'll, he'll have less freedom in
future, Boland, for word has come
from London that he's to keep to his
estate and never leave it."
Darius looked concerned, and his
dry face wrinkled still more "Ah,
and when was this word come, your
honor2"
But yesterday, Boland, and he'll
do we'll to obey, for l have no choice
but 10 take him in hand if he goes
gallivanting."
"Gallivanting-here, in Jamaica /!

The governor waved a contemptu-
GUS hand. 1T doesn't need ingenuity

Darius spoke sharply Your honor,

And what day will that be, your
honor?"
To be questioned by one who had
been revolutionary was worse than
distasteful to the governor. THAT
day will be when ! find the occasion
opportune, my brave Boland," he said
sourly.
"Why brave your honor?" There
was an ominous light in Darius eye.

Mrs. Llyn was playing a bold, In
deed a reckless game. She wanted to
show Dyck there were others who
would interest themselves in Sheila
even If he, Dyck, were blotted from
the equation; that the girl could look
nlgh, if her mind turned toward mar
rage Also she felt that Dyck should
know the facts before any one else, so
that he would not be shocked in the
IuJure, If anything happened. Yet in
ler deepest heart she wished him well.
Ane liked him as she had never liked
any OF Sheila's admirers, and if the
problem Of Erris Boyne had been
solved she would gladly have seen
