"HelIo, Lady's slipper"

Pink Lady's Slipper, or Pink Lady for
| short. That sounds very pretty
think
"'All right, Pink Lady, smiled Efie
Elf.
ct am eager to hear the story she
said
ga day or so ago. said Pink Lady,
"a bee came along and asked if he
might have a little meal.
81 told him he could have all the
meals he wanted to have and so he
came in, and had a gorgeous meal in
our best banquet hall.
He came in from the sloping side
entrances which we have on the way
to the banquet hall and ne thought it
was beautiful place with much rich
food.
"'Then, when he had had enough
he wanted to come out again. At
first he thought he was in trap, for
he buzzed away and couldn't seem to
find his way out.
But after time he saw the two
little hall lights have beyond my
banquet hail. They are really little
openings at the other end of my pas
sage-hall which let the light shine
through them into the banquet hall
"'He followed these lights and came
along the narrow, narrow hall of mine
and as he walked along he had to
push his way through and the sticky
decorations I had along the way, the
sticky curtains and so forth, caught
the pollen he had on his back and
head which he had brought from an
other Lady's Slipper flower.
"'You see we have this way of help
ing each other along and the Bee does
it for US but with a great deal of help
from US and suggestions about how
he should walk out of our banquet
hail.
"'Then he goes through another lit
tie passage way and gets some Of our
pollen to take away with him to one
of our relatives who gets it from him
as he leaves her banquet hall just
as I did,
What an interesting story said
Fife Elf, and what fine way you all
have of working together, though you
are separated from each other"

prepared to find in the chest, what in
fact / did find there, over million
dollars in old Spanish coins.
"These coins, which were packed in
strong canvas bags, were, as you may
fancy, very quickly transferred to the
cutter. We did not trouble ourselves
with the unwieldy chest, and it re-
mains, / suppose, in the cabin of the
sloop, which I observed as we crossed
the cove to have been washed up upon
the rocks
"This is very interesting story
Senior Gonzales" said Dugald Shaw
quietly, "and as you say, your visit
here deprives US of nothing, but mere.
~ saves us further Improbable labor
We are grateful to you"
The Spaniard bowed.
"You do me too much honor. But
as you remark, the story is interesting
It has also the element of mystery
For there remains the question OF
what became of the owner Of the
sloop. His final preparations for leav-
ing the island had evidently been
made, his possessions removed from
the hut, provisions for the voyage
brought on board the slOop-and then
he had vanished. What had befallen
him? Did the gold carry with it some
deadly influence? One plays, as II
were, with this idea, imagining the SO
melancholy and bloody history Of these
old doubloons. How, in the first place
had he found them2 Through chance
by following some authentic cluei
And then, in the moment of success
he disappears-po uf!" And Senior
Gonzales disposed of the unknown by
blowing him airily from the tips of his
fingers.
"HoWever, we have the treasure

often wondered"
eff you would like to hear the rest
of the story" said Mr.. Shaw, 1--WE are
in a position to enlighten you. Thai
we are so, is due entirely to this young
lady, Miss Virginia Harding"
The Spaniard rose and made obeiS
ance profoundly. He resumed his
seat, prepared to listen-no longer the
government official, but The cordial
and interested guest and friend.
The story, of course, was a long
one. Everybody took hand in the
telling, even Cookie, who was sum.

kitchen to receive the glory due hin
as a successful strategist. The jour
nal of Peter was produced, and the
bags of doubloons handed over to the
representative of the little republic
l even offered to resign the silver shoe
buckle which had found in the secret
locker on the Island Queen, but this
excess of honesty received it's due re
ward.
"The doubloons being now in the
possession of the Santa Marinan ma
ton, 1 beg that you will consider as
your own the Island Queen and all il

though the sand-filled hulk of q

CHAPTER XIX.
'Twixt Cup and Lip.

Next morning an event occurred
sufficiently astonishing to divert our
thoughts from even the all-important
topic of the Island Queen. Cookie,
who had been on the high land Of the
point gathering frewood, came rush
ing back to announce that a steamer
had appeared in the offing. All the
party dropped their occupations and
ran to look. That the Rufus Smith
had returned at an unexpectedly
early date was of course the natural
explanation of the appearance of a
vessel in these lonely seas. But
through the glass the new arrival
turned out to be not the tubby freight
er, but a stranger of clean-cut, rakish
build, lying low in the water and de-
signed for speed rather than carrying
capacity.
A mile offshore she lay to, and a
boat left her SIDE Wondering and dis
quoted, we returned to the beach to
await her coming. Was it another pi-
rate? What possible errand could
bring a steamer to this remote, unvis-
tied, all but forgotten little island?
AS the oarsmen drove the boat upon
the beach the man in the stern sprang
agilely ashore, Dugald Shaw stepped
forward, and the stranger approached
doffing his helmet courteously.

party who landed here sorle weeks

though spoken with a pronounced
Spanish accent. His dark high-fea-
tured face was the face Of a Spaniard
And his grace was the grace Of a
Spaniard, as he bowed sweepingly and
handed Mr.. Shaw a card.
"Senor Don Enrique Gonzales" said
Dugald, bowling in his stiff-necked
fashion, 81 am happy to see you. But
as you represent his excellency the
president of the republic Of Santa
Marina / suppose you come on bust
ness, Senior Gonzales?"

you apprehend the fact without the
tiresomeness of explanations. For
business is a cold, usually a disagree

the case, let us get it over"
First do us the honor to be seated.

Comfortably bestowed in a camp
chair in the shade, the Spaniard re-
sumed:
MY friend, this Island belongs, as
Of course you are aware, to the re-
public, Of which have the honor to be
a citizen. All rights and privileges,
such as harvesting the copra crop, are
strictly conserved by the republic. All
persons desiring such are required to
negotiate with the minister of state Of
the republic. And how much more,

and that we had certainly expected to
leave the island with it in our posses
sion"
The dark indolent eyes of our Wis
itor grew suddenly keen. Half-veiled
by the heavy lashes, they searched the
face of Dugald Shaw. 1t seemed that
what they found in that bold and open
countenance satisfied them. His own
face cleared again.
Il think we speak at cross-purposes,
Mr.. Shaw" he said courteously, "and
that we may better understand each
other, am going to tell you little
story. At about this season, two years
ago, the navy of Santa Marina, the
same which now lies off the island,
was making a voyage of inspection
along the coast Of the republic. 1t
was decided to include LeeWard in
the cruise, as it had been unvisited for
a considerable time. / hold no naval

rival at Leeward came ashore in the
boat, and found to my surprise small
sloop at anchor in the cove. About

habitation, yet / knew that the old
German who had had the copra con-
cession here had been gone for some
time. No one responded to our shouts

very much-a large brass-bound chest,

When d. L Vance filed a claim for
damages against the city commission

No Decision Reached by Members of
City Commission
Another chapter in the continued
story about the alley running east and
west behind the new First Methodist
church, at the corner of Sixth avenue
and Harrison street, was written at
this mornings commission meeting.
DR.. E. J. Kulp, pastor of the church,
his building COMMITTED and T. w. Will
hanson, the architect of the new build
ing, with John Abrahams as spokes-
man, appeared before the commission
and filed a protest against the paving
of the alley, which was provided for
in a resolution passed at the last meet
ing of the city commission.
The church officials want the alley
vacated so that they may construct
coal bunkers under it. Property own
ers in the block on Topeka boulevard
claim that their right of ingress and
egress to and from their property. is
curtailed by the closing of the alley.
1t was agreed that the question is
one of fact-whether the proposed
vacation does unreasonably curtal
the rights of the property owners on
Topeka boulevard.
The responsibility of deciding this
question was checked up to the COM
missioners. No definite action fur
Their than the filing of the protest, was
taken this morning.
