got no lame. l want to give English
name. Good name. Lucky name. Your
name. See?"
Danton lit a cigaret and turned from
her to hide his mirth. His name! Was
it likely that he was going to give his
name TO Mayama. after having care
fully concealing it from her all these
years? He looked at her searchingly.
Was she being cunning?
He threw the end of the cigaret away
over the verandah.
Call him Anon" he said, on the
spur of the moment. That's a very
good name. and its a very lucky name,
too
Your name, hey?"
In this instance. YES" said Gerald
Danton, screwing his ewes up with
mirth. as was extremely funny all ex-
cept that resemblance the child had
to Paul.
He gave the child a piece of money,
and the wonan q note. She begged
that he write down the name he had
given their child IN a piece of paper in
case she forgot it. She looked about
but could not find any paper, so he
took out his pocketbook and found an
envelope there. 1t contained his
tickets and vouchers, and upon the
back of it the coat of arms of the
steamship company. He put the tickets
somewhere else. and taking out his
fountain pen. wrote or the envelope in
his neat Greek writing that had char
acteristics all its own, the word. Anon
Mayama let him go, asking no ques-
tons and making no demands.

devil"
"A hopeless case. We've had our sus-
picions for some time. 1t was my own
fault. l took him without q reference
because l thought he looked a better
type than usual"
The younger man hesitated, then
spoke on ar impulse.
II say. sir. you might let me know
when he comes out, If you aren't going
to take him back. l feel I'd like to
give the poor devil another chance. It's
such a sorry business when they 60
wrong, out here"
Apply to the Jail. They'll be only
too glad to give you all particulars. And
we certainly shall not have him back.
It's useless trying to do anything for
them once they start this game. How
ever. far be it from mt to damp your
zeal, Danton. When you've been in
the country a bit longer, 1 am afraid
you will find it seldom pays to give way
to these kindly instincts"
They drew their chairs to the desk.
Nov then. have you any idea who
it is who is scattering all this seditious
literature. and trying to make trouble
about here amongst the native troops?"

THE road turned and twisted. Here
and there hills rose ahead of them
out of the jungle, covered with row
upon row of neat little bushes of tea.
Gerald Danton screwed his eyeglass
in, and had a look at them. He had a
strange fondness for this part of the
country. more than all the other lands
of the East. 1t was here he had first
come, as a Creeper (the %colloquial name
for tea estate apprentices), TO n OF
the estates. 1t was a long time ago.
He was now on his final tour of in
spection, before retiring from his place
as head of the company.
He had a great fondness for Ceylon,
and for the company. They had done
II another extremely we'll. He retired
a rich man. with a great deal of good
fun behind him, and no regrets. He
was lean and brown and hard, from
playing polo. and life had treated him
as he had treated lfe-lightly. He had
made his pile and he was leaving the
East forever, and whatever small re-
grets he had would soon die.
Young Paul was growing up. He was
in his first term at Eton. His father
wanted to see something of him. and
play a game or SO with him, before it
was time to settle down and make the
best of this tedious business Of being
an old man.
How quickly it came upon one-this
business OF being an old man. In the
privacy of his soul Gerald Danton was
forced TO face the fact that he was

farewell forever to the indiscretions of
my price
In the end he could not get away that
evening. They had a great foregather-
ing up at the garden OF all the men
from the district around. and they sat
late over the wine. smoking and yarn
ing.
But the following morning he got up
early. and taking his topee and stick
drove out to the pipe line. and left the
car there.
So he came to the clearing beyond
the waterfall where once he had been
wont to battle. The small wooden
bungalow stood there. just as of old
its caves coming down very low over its
small windows. and around it all the
litter and refuse COMMON to houses
in the virgin jungle. He remembered
how, eve in those days when the ro-
settle hue of glamor hung over it all,
the little windows. and the refuse, and
the smell, had given him n shiver down
his spine.
Upon q line from bamboo to bamboo,
a limp collection Of garments hung in
the sunshine. Amongst the refuse I'M
der the house a cock scratched and
crowed. With back towards him, a
lanky child of perhaps five or six sat
in the dirt, playing with some old tins,
a wooden spoon, and a little cOllec-
ton of gay and gaudy marigold flowers.
Gerald Danton lclt the same shiver
go down his spine as he looked at it
all. Was it possible that he had ever
descended to such depths! Had Flora
known, surely she would have cast her

complexion to the winds and come to
rescue him! He saw Flora, with her
pretty ways, and her soft, white hands
and Paul. Paul, of whom he was SO
fond, and SO proud. Strange that a
man who loved them, always and truly,
yet had in his nature hat which made
it possible for him to descend to-this
sort of thing!
He would have turned and left for
ever this vision of his own past. But
at that moment someone come out of
the house with a pail of refuse and
carelessly fired it out into the garden.
He knew it was Mayama, and stood
still, looking at her.
She had been little and slender and
golden when first he had seen her. A
child of seventeen. At twenty-seven
she might easily have been his con-
temporary, so quickly do women age
and wither out there in the virgin for
est. Fat, she was, and very wrinkled
and dark, and the eyes that had been
SO velvet soft and brown, were sunken
like two sloeS into her head.
She saw him and waved the empty
bucket at him, without emotion.
AHA, you come again. Very good. /
very glad to see you. You come along
in? Hey?"
She addressed him in the English he
himself had taught her. Reluctantly he
followed her up the ricketty stairs, on
to the dirty veranda.
Il was up in the district and thought
I would nave a look in and see how
you Jared, Mayama. For old times
sake"
Il very WELL" said Mayama, lighting
a vast cigar. You smoke, hey?n
He lit one of his own cigarets quickly.
1t is almost essential to smoke when
paying a call in the virgin forest.
You haven't married. them"
mo. l never do it.. Too much plen-
ty thouble come"
She went over to the veranda rail
and called into the sunshine. Up the
steps came, presently, the lanky child,
aged perhaps five or six.
Nov, then. Yours Mayama, laugh
ing. Very good. Hey?"
The child was several shades lighter
than most native children. Instead OF
the coarse stiff hair, his head was
covered with dark, silky curls. He held
himself in a ann to Gerald Danton
vaguely familiar, and his long, slender
hands, with their delicate nails seemed
to belong to some other body.
DantOn had never for one moment
ou~AA q IN dllU IlOW
that he found himself face to face with
it, it struck him as immensely funny
His-this queer, lanky little piccaninny
with the melancholy eyes and the deli
cate hands. A reminder from Fate OF
the biggest indiscretion he had evel
committed. Well, thank God it was nc
worse. The child was not white enough
to be remarkable. He would easily pass
for a native, and there would be nc
harm done in the long run.
The child was standing at Gerald
Danton's knee, searching his face with
those great eyes of his, as ii trying tc
understand what it was all about. Sud
denly Gerald Danton grew cold. There
was something in the expression that
reminded him of Paul. Paul used tc
stand at his knee like that, looking al
him in just the same manner.
He pushed the child from him, sud-
denly annoyed.
20 well, Mayama, a boy is very use
full. He will work for you and keeI
you in your old age"
Mayama laughed derisively. She
knew a good bit about life although she
lived IN the virgin forest.
"Ycs, little boy good" she said. only
