When word was received In Phila'

notorious German propagandist, was
planning to hold meeting In that
city. Legion members and other pa

scheme.
Similar action was taken by the
Legion and various societies In Indian

operating with the Legion was the ma

American Gymnastic union, composed
Of a large membership Of citizens OF
German extraction, which Insisted

CHAPTER xiii.

John Stuart Webster's agile brain
was the repository Of many conflict
Ing emotions as he bathed, shaved,
and changed from his solled khaki
field clothes to suit of ducks before
presenting himself before Dolores.
Had Billy's courage forsaken him
at the last minute, with the result
that he had gone back to the United
States without having settled the
question of Dolores future? Had he
proposed and been rejected, or had
he proposed, been accepted, and had
his plans for an immediate marriage
vetoed by Dolores?
In either event, why had Billy
failed to leave note for him at the
Hotel Mateo, or mailed him a letter
to the Globo de Gro at San Miguel de
Padua, advising him OF the change In
the plan OF action outlined for him BY
Webster?
In the simplicity Of his slngle-heart-
ed devotion Webster was puzzled to
understand how any woman in her
right mind could fail to fall in love
with Billy Geary. A man he was, from
heels to hair, and a man with pros

poets far above the average. To Web
ster's way of thinking, the girl who
married Billy might well count her
self fortunate.
Dolores greeted him with unaffected
pleasure. "Well, Caliphl" she said.
Just that. It made Webster sensible
Of a feeling of having returned to her
after an absence of several years.
"Tm so glad to- see you, Miss Ruey,"
he replied, and added boldly, spar

She knew what her reply Would lead
to; nevertheless, with that dissimula-
ton which can only be practiced in

think. A few weeks ago, after exam
lining Bills concession very thorough
~, told him he was potential mill
lionaire. Now, while / disclaim any
appearance Of braggadocio, when John
Stuart Webster, Z. NJ. makes any
mine owner a report like that, he is
apt to be taken very seriously. And
having made Bill a potential million
aire and arranged to give him three
or four months vacation back home,
| had a notion he'd present to you a
very valid reason why you should ac-
company him."
"You are very frank, Caliph."
That's because I'm curious. He had
certain dream. and told me about It,
and l did my little best to make it
come true"
II think I understand, Caliph. 1t
would be very difficult, l think, for
anybody to meet Billy without being
attracted toward him. He's one of
the dearest, most Iovable boys In the
world-and he did do me the signal
honor of asking me to marry him. So
there -
"Weil, and why didn't your"
She smiled at his blunt insistence
on forcing the issue. For a number
of excellent reasons, Caliph. In the
first place, he wantedn me to marry
him immediately-an / wasn't ready
to leave Sobrante, while Billy was.
Indeed. it was highly necessary that
he should leave Immediately. for the
sake of his health. and | had BTlly's
interest at heart sufficiently TO insist
upon it. You seem to forget that
when girl marries she must make
some preparation for the event. and
If she has any close relatives, such as
a brother, for instance, she likes to
have that relative present at the cere-
mony. You viii recall. Caliph. that

and packed out for San Miguel de
Padua bright and early next morn
Ing. During the following ten days
Webster managed to keep himself
fairly busy around the camp at the
mine; then for week he hunted and
fshed, and finally, when that began
to pail on him, his agile mind re-
turned to business and the considera-
tion Of the possibility Of a flaw in
Billy's title to the claim; whereupon
he suddenly decided to return to Bue-
naventura and investigate that title
fully before proceeding to throw dol
lars right and left.
AT the head Of his little cavalcade,
therefore, he rode out one morning
for the railroad, whereat providence,
in its inscrutable wisdom, ordained
that en- route he should fall In with
no less parsonage than Don Ricardo
Luiz Ruey, nee Andrew Bowers. Ri
cardo was mounted, armed, and alone,
and at sight of Webster he shouted
with delight and gpurred toward him.
"What the devill You, Rick, the

and shook hands.
