by the Civitan Club at which there
were 75 invited guests. Colonel Bryan
still strong. robust and virile. although
the wrinkles are little deeper and
the fringe of hair about his head a
little narrower, is still a conspicuous
figure in any assembly. He has a
happy fund of story and illustration
and a gift of sparkling and ready re-
partee that is unexcelled by any public
speaker.
Seated about the breakfast table

Arkansas affairs, including Governor
McRae and Former Governors Don

duced by Mr.. Petite. toastmaster.
After several brief addresses by way
Of appreciation and eulogy, Colonel
Bryan arose and spoke for fifteen min
utes including the frequent and voci.
ferrous applause that greeted many Of
his stories and remarks. He said that

go to Florida for his wife's health,

that time Senator Jones as well as
himself favored the nomination Of

Utterly confounded as l was by this
sufficient of sense about me to compre-
hend what l saw. And the main thing
was the girl. She was a tallish. slim
mish creature, dressed in riding coat
and breeches and nattily finished off,
even to her white cravat and polished
of Amazon girl in way, though essen
italy feminine; the red-gold of her hair
struck me, and the brown lights in her
eyes and the warmth in her cheeks and
lips, and her lips were just then unmis-
takably severe, not to say hard, and
finely arched eyebrows which seemed to
argue a temper that was not far off
being reused. l saw, too, what had made
me think of the ChinamanS knife in con-
nection with my ribs the girl carried a
substantial hunting crop, and finding me
there asleep she had poked me with it
until L came awake. Indeed, she was
pushing it pretty vigorously into my
armpit when / succumbed to its invita-
ton and opened my eyes on her.N
! struggled up into a sitting posture
and took a good long stare at her. and
her cob, and at the turf and heather
around me. When my eyes got back to
hers she spoke
What are you doing there? Out with
it, now
She had a sweet voice. but l never
heard a Schoolmaster speak more per-
emptorily, and the very inSiStence of her
note cleared my brain-somewhat:

But in that instant 1 paused ] want

1t out. There was something other than
the handkerchief there. Money. Coin
My fingers sank on it-hard, metallic.
Good Lord! ~ / said. What on earth
is this?'
I began to pull it out, pouring it from
one hand to the other-sovereigns no
end of them; eventually ] had a palm
heaped full and like to run over. Those
were the days wherein the sight of

the girl uttered cry of astonishment.

There was a paper, crumpled up any
how, at the bottom of my pocket.

Four words only-scrawled in pencil:

And 1 was not going to show it to her

made big effort to get all my wits
together. Then l looked at her

possible, and Pm grateful to you for
the brandy and-and for your interest
The truth is, 1 was mixed up, accidental
ly, in a most extraordinary adventure
last night in Portsmouth. The man who
shared it with me promised to drive me
to London, and gave me a stiff drink
just before starting. He must have
drugged me, and. when he got here. left
me-where you found me. Now I'll go
away. But I'm still queer and a bit
faint-can you tell me of any inn or cot
tage where l can go and sit down
awhile?"
She had listened to all this with close
attention, watching me narrowly, and
now, without a word, she drew a silver
whistle from her pocket and blew sharp
~ on it A man whom l had noticed
sitting motionless on a horse at some
little distance turned quickly at the
sound and came cantering up. He was a
typically horsy sort of fellow, keen
faced. shrewd-eyed, and he gave me
questioning glance as he approached.

OF the cob's saddle. He was a substan.

from holding on to him. And at that
the girl suddenly thrust her hand in one
of the pockets of her skirted coat, and
bringing out a little silver flash hastily
unscrewed the top and thrust the flask
into my free hand.
Drink! she commanded.

away to valley. beyond the valley l
saw ridge after ridge of rolling coun-

distance the domes and towers Of a
town. beyond that, sea l pointed to the

Her eyes were wide open with per-
plexity by that time, but she answered
readily enough.
Where are you? These are Chilver-
ton Downs-twelve miles from Ports
mouth" she said. You say you left
there in car? When?"
About midnight" I answered. But
which particular midnight l don't know.
Yeti must have been drugged. 1 fell
asleep the instant l got III the car and
then l never knew any more. Is-does
any road from Portsmouth to London
cross these downs?"
No direct road she replied but
there is a road fifty yards away from
where we're standing-just behind that
