CHAPTER XIX.
ANGELS. Desert and Urban.

Our StOp-Over in Angels, Friend
Beasley's and mine, was of the short
est. Our business with Father Will
liam Dublin was the merest t~ravesty
upon a trial at law, and was speedily
concluded.
Since there would be no passenger
train until afternoon, Beasley and /
resumed u places in the freight's
caboose, and in due time were set
down in Brewster, the breezy little
metropolis of Timanyoni Park.
Here my ~captor-and friend-ap-
peared to be very much at home. He
took me to the best hotel, where he
was greeted with affectionate CANA
rauerte by a clerk who wore a dia-
mond big enough to serve for a loco
motive headlight, shook hands with.
and introduced me to, a number of
gentlemen in the lobby, and presently
gave me orders to 60 up to our rooms
and take a wash" preparatory to
meeting a certain friend of his at
luncheon the meeting contingent upon
his being able to round up" the friend
in time for the feast.
1t still wanted a half-hour of the
appointed luncheon time when I de-
scended to the lobby. A little before
n o'clock Beasley came in with a
m~iddle-aged man who looked as if he
might have been the retired manager
of a Wild West show not long-haired,
or anything like that, but with the
cool eye and bronzed, weather-beaten
face of one who lived under house
roofs only when circumstances forced

the prime mover in a lot of other civic

of the three days following; days in
which Mr.. William Starbuck. who

was easily able to do because he was

a parting favor, I asked Starbuck how

porary good-by to the wreck on the
Cinnabar ledge, and vas. about to take
the road to Atropia with Beasley
both of US intent upon catching a way

the piebatd pony for the ride to the
railroad station-this either with or
without Jeanie's consent; I didn't

hariequin-faced dog was ready to trot
at the pony's heels. But the blue-eyed
maiden had shut herself up in her
room, and I thought she wasn't going
to come out and see me off.

Beasley had already steered his nag
across the dump head, and l was
about to climb into my saddle, she
came to the cabin door, and was both

quickly and went in and on through
to he kitchen, leaving me to follow
Beasley, which l did, with the sour
humor telling me that Of all the puz-

Of enigmas, a woman's vagaries were
the least understandable. For, after
all was said and done, and after all
that had happened and been made to
happen, it seemed to be palpably ap-
parent that Jeanne Twombly was still
in love with the jeet.

first, degradation" meant a reduction
from one grade or rank to another,
and then it came to mean the with
drawal of any rank In Office or society.
In some way we have come to think
that a mar Of degree is a high-up sort
OF fellow. and that a degraded man Is
a low-down sort Of chap. .
