When Dyck Calhoun entered, the
governor gave him a wintry smile OF
welcome, but did not offer to shake
hands. "Will you sit DOWN." he said,
with a slow gesture.
Calhoun made a dissenting motion.
II prefer to stand, your honor"
This was the first time the two men
had met alone since Dyck had arrived
In Jamaica, or since his trial. a
houn was dressed In planters costume
and the governor was In an officers
uniform. They were In striking con-
trast I'm face and ~fgure-the governor
long, lanky, ascetic In appearance,
very intellectual save for the riOtous
mouth. and very spick and span-as
though he had just stepped out Of Al
mack's; while Calhoun was tough and
virile and with the air Of q thorough
outdoor man.. There was in his face
the firm fighting look Of n who had
done things and could tackle big af-
fairs-and something more: there was
In It quiet exuitation.
"You have done the island and Eng
land great service. Mr.. Calhoun" said
the governor at last.
ut is the least / could do for the
land where / have made my home,
where l have reaped more than / have
sown."
1--WE know your merit, SIR"
A sharp, satirical look came into
Calhoun's face and his voice rang out
with vigor. "And because you knew
my merit you advised the crown 70

would have had me shot If you could.

CHAPTER XXI.
Then What Happened.


An hour after Noreen Boyne had
been laid in her grave, there was a
special issue Of the principal paper
telling all the true facts Of the death
Of Erris Boyne. It vexed Lord Mallow;
but he steeled himself to urbanity, and
he played his part well. He was clever
enough to see 1t would pay him to be
outwardly gracious to Calhoun. So 1t
was he made a speech In the capital
on the return Of the general command
ing and the troops from subduing the
MaroOns, in which he said: "NO one
In all the kings dOminiOns had showed
greater patriotism and military skill
than their friend Mr.. Calhoun, who
had been harshly treated by a mis-
taken government"
A few hours later, In the sweet gar
den Of the house where Sheila and
her mother lodged, Calhoun came up
on the girl whose gentle dignity and
beauty seemed to glow.
At first all she said to him was,
"Welcome, old friend" and at last she
said: snow you car come to the
United States, Dyck, and make a new
life there"
Presently he said: II ought to go
where you wish me to go, for you
came to me here when l was rejected
Of men. Your faith kept me alive in
my darkest days-even when l thought
I had wrOnged YOU"
"Then you will come to Virginia
with meas my husband, DyckT' She
blushed and laughed. "You see / have
to propose to you, for you've lever
asked me to marry you. I'm throwing
myself at your head, sir, you observe I"
He gave an honest smile of adora-
ton. 81 came today to ask you to be
my wife-fOr that reason only. I,
could not do 1t till the governor had
declared my innocence. The earth is
sweeter today than it has been since
time began"
He held out his arms, and an instant
later the flowers she carried were

from his late experiences in the field.
1t was as though he had come to tri-
umph over the governor. Mallow said
what he had said with malice. He
looked to see rage In the face Of Dyck
Calhoun and was nonplussed to find
that 1t had only a stern sort Of pleas
ure. The eyes Of Calhoun met his
with no trace Of gloom, but with a
valor worthy of a high cause-their
clear blue facing his wi with a con-
slant penetration. Their intense sim
certify gave him a feeling which did
not belong to authority. It vas not
the look of a criminal, whatever the
man might be-mutineer and murder
er. As for mutineer, all that Calhoun
had fought for had been at last ad-
mitted by the British government.
Calhoun spoke slowly. "Your hon.
or you haye said what you have a
right to a to a man who killed Erris
Boyne. But this man you accuse did
not do It."
The governor smiled, for the as
sumption was ridiculous. He shrugged
a shoulder and a sardonic curl came
to his lip.
"who did 1t. thenr
IF o will come to the house Of
the general commanding you will see."
The governor was in a great guam
dairy. He gasped. "The general COM
manding-did he kill Erris Boyne

"Not he, yet the person that did It
n In his house. Listen. your honor.
I have borne the name Of killing Erris
Boyne. and I ought to have killed him,
for he was a traitor. I had proofs Of

not betray him. for he had alive a
wife and daughter. and something was
due to them. He was q traitor and

~You were . brave man, but . fool

sharply.

bear the ignominy which had been
heaped upon Dyck Calhoun's head. Yet
all at nee there came to her mind a
softening feeling. Erris Boyne had
had %wronged, for he was q traitor as
well as an a~dulterer-one who could
use no woman well, who broke faith
with all civilized tradition, and re-
verified to the savage. Surely the wom-
ans crime was not a dark II 1t was
injured innocence shifting depravity,
tyranny and lust.
Suddenly, as she looked at the wOm
an who had done this thing, she, whose
hand had rid the world of a traitor
and q beast, fell back on the pillow
in a faint. With an exclamation Sheila
lifted up the head. If the woman was
dead, then there was no hope for Dyck
Calhoun; any story that she-Sheila
might tell would be Of no use. Yet
she was no longer agitated In her body.
Hands and fingers were steady, and
she felt for the heart with firm fin
gers. Yes, the heart was still beat
ing, and the pulse was slightly drum
ming. Thank God, the woman was
alivel She rang a bell and lifted up
the head Of the sick woman.
A moment later the servant was
I'm the room. Sheila gave her orders
quickly, and snatched up a pencil from
the t"''a. Then, on a piece Of paper,
she wrc e the words: II, not Dyck
Calhoun, killed Erris Boyne."
A few moment later, NOreen's eyes
opened, and Sheila spoke to her. II
have written these words. Here they
re-se them. Sign them"
She read the words, and put a pen
Gil In the trembling fingers, and, on
the cover Of a book NOreen's fingers
traced her name slowly but clearly.
Then Sheila thrust the paper In her
bosom, and IN instant later a nurse,
sent by the resident doctor, entered.
"They canno hang me or Danish me,
for my end has come" whispered No
reen before Sheila left.
In the street Of Spanish Town al
most the first person Sheila say was
Dyck Calhoun. With pale, radiant
look she went to him. He gazed at
her strangely, for there was that In
her face he could not understand.
"Come with me-" she said, and she
moved toward Kings house. He
obeyed. For some moments they
walked In silence, then all at once
under a magnolia tree she stopped.
II want you to read what a woman
wrote who has just arrived in the Is
land from England. She Is Ill at the
house Of the general commanding"
Taking from her breast the slip OF
paper, she handed 1t to him. He read
1t with eyes and senses that at first
could hardly understand.
"GOd In heaven-oh, merciful Godl'
he said In great emotion. yet with q
strange physical quiet.
"This woman was his wife," Sheils
said.
He handed the paper back. He con

"Mallow" A look Of bitter tri

crushed to her breast, with her lips
given to his.
A little later she drew from her
pocket a letter. "You must read that"
she said. ut Is from the great Alex
ander HamiltOn-yes, he will be great;
he will play a wOndrous part in the
life Of my new country. Read 1t,
Dyck."
After he had read 1t, he said: HE
was born a British subject here In
these islands, and he goes to help
Americans live according to British
principles. With all my sane fellow
countrymen ! am glad the Americans
succeeded. Do you go to your Virginia
and I will come as soon as l have put

81 will not go without you-nO, I

''Then we shall be married at once"
he declared.
And so 1t was, and all the island
was en- fete, and when Sheila came
to Dyck's plantation the very earth
seemed to rejoice.
And sweetly solitary the two lived
their lives. till n day. three months
later, there came to the plantation
the governor and his suite.
When they had dismounted, Lord
Mallow said: II bring you the pay
Of the British government for some

and what will give your lady pay, too,

crease in the value of goods exported

cial deputy collector. Nogales export

big decrease in both ports. The I'm
ports also fell off, but due to the
closing down OF the mines this con-
