Jimmy Gilmore idled into the small.
Interesting-looking: tearoom more be-
eause he had nothing to do than for
any terrific thirst he had for black
coffee. — , ^
However, having arrived inside the
quaint little orange-colored door, he
felt glad. There was a decided sense
of atmosphere about the small, taste
fully arranged tearoom and, as life sank
into a corner built for two, Jimmy
was conscious of a longing for the
other of that two. But, alas! he was
only one, and a desperately lonesome
one at that. Jimmy’s entire flock of
best girls was scattered at seaside or
mountain resort.
After he had' ordered his black
octree and cinnamon toast he slumped
down Into his chair in an effort to
find greater comfort for long legs. One
of those long legs shuffled something
along the floor and Jimmy peered un
der the table to sc* what it was.
It proved to be a photograph ready
for mailing but badly, very badly, done
up. The string was slipping off and
The cardboard protection was In a
decided way of escaping Us duty. Jirn-
tny supposed a w<»tnan had til'd It up.
It was addrensed to a man In Chi
cago and in the corner the sender’a
name was given as Fay McHane, with
an address that Jimmy knew- to be
only a Mock or two from the tearoom

'’Male hands Instead," laughed Jim
my. ~ *
The quaint little fate of the artlai
lent Itself beautifully to smiles.
"And I was a bit lonesome," he con
fessed.
*T suppose you expected td see tht
original,’’ said Fay with a short laugh.
"I’m sorry she Is not here just now—
she may' drop In later.
"She Is a big, goodhearted girl and
far more lovely to look at than her
picture Indicates."
"Far more lovely to look at than to
talk to also, I suppose,” Jimmy sug
gested and found himself just a trifle
annoyed that Miss McBane was so will
ing to praise this other girl. 4 T sup
pose you never have many hours to
idle,” he said gazing about the well-
worked. ca nvn ses.
"No.- I have had so much illustrat
ing to do lately that I don’t even have
time to cook my meals and I just love
to cook,” labiented Fay. *T have to
use my energy for painting rather than
cooking so I am compelled to go Into
that little tea room for nearly ev^ry
meal.”
“Oh.” said Jimmy.
A slight flush crept across Fay’s
cheeks. Hurriedly she made an at
tempt to cover up the apparent lead
sbg hod given him. “Really I should
be only too glad to bring in Doris or
SEEK TREASURE IN VIGO BAY
Company Undor t paid ah 6 rant Will
Endeavor to Recover demo Hurv
deed Million Oollara. ^
The largest amount of sunken treas
ure there is any record of lies at the
bottom of Vigo bay, on the coast of
Spain. Here a Spanish plate fleet of
17 great galleons and their escort of
23 warships were sunk 300 years ago
by a combined fleet of HngUsh and
Dutch war vessels.
There is no guesswork about the
amount of treasure on board the gal- /
leans. It Is matter of official record
and if placed in tiie neighborhood of
$140,000,000, which at the time when
there was very little money In the
world> had a purchasing power ten
times greater than now.
Of this Immense sum a little was
landed, taken Inland and saved. A
few millions feH as spoil to the victors
and the balance haj served as a bait
to draw adventurers from everywhere
to Vigo bay. A heavily financed com
pany even now, under a concession
from the King of Spain, is trying to
salvage the sunken galleons and their
cargoes.
All in all, not more than 20 millions
have been saved from the sea. In
cluding that landed, that captured and
that reclaimed by the various firms
to whom concessions have been grant,
ed during the last 300 years, so it is
safe to say that at least 100 millions

The girl who opened it was neither
