"Bhe is. V<*ey much alive and la earcellent health?or rather waa, the last time it was my pleasure and privilege to call on the dear lady. But aha Isn't In Buenaventura now."

By the way, do yon happen to have a Miss Dolores Ruey aboard?" Dolores pricked u|> her little ears. What possible Interest could this stranger have In her goings or coinings? "Yon picked a winner this time. Bill," she heard the purser say, "Stateroom sixteen, boat-deck, starboard side. You'll probably find her there, packing to go ashore." "Thanks." Billy replied and stepped out of the purser's office. Dolorea turned and faced him. 'T am Miss Ruey," she announced. "T heard you asYIng for me." Her eyes carried the query she had not put ui hit, iuu. uunxTcr, rume 10 ininK of It, yon didn't ask mo any question. Ton looked It. My name Is Geary? Wllllnm H.

M ; wl.ff iiiiu >tuius . vviiii mr yuu, mm wnni lo you want?" Billy saw and understood. and on the Instant a wave of desolation surged over him. So this was the vision he had volunteered to meet aboard La Rstrelllta, and by specious lie and hypocvltlc mien, turn her back from the portals of Buenaventura to that dear old United States, which, Billy suddenly recalled with potgnnnt pain, Is a sisable country In which a young lady may very readily be lost forever. With the quick eye of youth, he noted that Dolores was perfectly wonderful In a white flannel skirt and Jacket, white buck boots, wblte panania hat with a gorgeous puggaree, a mannish little linen collar, and a red four-in-hand tie. From under that white hut neened a profusion of crinkly brown hair with a slightly reddish tinge to It; her eyes were hlg nnd brown and wide apart, with golden flecks In them; their glance met Billy's hungry gaze simply, directly, and with a curiosity -there was no attempt to hide. Her nose was patrician; her beautiful short upper Up revealed the tips of two perfeet, milk-white front teeth: she was, Billy Geary told himself, a goddess before whom all low. worthless, ornery fellows like himself should grovel and die happy. If perchance she might be so minded as to walk on their faces I He was aroused from his critical Inventory when the hourl spoke again; "You haven't answered my question, sir!" "No," said Billy. "I didn't. Stupid tag tm tknt Kn. WUUm woo ioMfl far OUtttmia to mo you. I had 10 other alternative bat to lot luottoto toko tholr coaroo.

Billy's mien, as ha voiced this ' warning, was se (Angularly roysterl1 one that Dolores* curiosity waa 1 aroused instantly and rose superior ! to her grief. "Why, what's the mat terT* she demanded. Billy loked around, as If fearful of being overheard. He lowered his volee. -We're going bo hove one grand little flrst-class revolution," he re' plied. -It's due to bust almost any night now, and when It does, the streets of San Buenaventura will ran red with blood." Dolores blanched. -Oh, dearie me," she quavered. "Do they stilt have 1 revolutions beret Tou know, Mr. Geary, my J>oor father was killed In one." "Yes, and the same old political gang that shot hlra Is still on deck," Billy warned her. "It would he high 7 dangerous ror nuey, man or woman, to show his or her nose around Buenaventura about now. Besides, Mis* Ruey. that Isn't the worst," he continued, for a whole-hearted lad was Billy, who never did anything by halves. "The city Is reeking with cholera," he declared. "Cholera I" Dolores* big brown eyes : grew bigger with wonder and concern. "How Strang? the port authorities didn't warn us at New Orleans!" "Tlsh! Tush I Fiddlesticks and then some. The fruit company censors everything, Miss Ruey, and the news doesn't get out" "But the port doctor Just said tha passengers could go ashore." "What's a human life to a doctor? Besides, he's on the slush-fund pay roll and does whatever the hlgherups tell him. Ton be guided by what I tall you. Miss Ruey, and do not set foot on Sobrantean soil.

Dolores demanded. "A mere slip of the tongne. Miss Ruey. I was thinking of my landlady. I meant Mrs. Wllklns?** "I'm so awfnlly obliged to you, Mr. Oeary. You're so kind, I'm sure I'd he n most ungrateful girl not to be guided by you accordingly. Y?m wouldn't risk any friend of your* In this terrible place, would you. Mr. Geary?" "Indeed, I would not. By permitting anybody I thought anything of to come to this city, I should feel guilty of murder." "I'm sure you would, Mr. Geary. Nevertheless, there ta one point that Is not ni'itp clear In my mind, and I wish lr t* "Ooimuaud me, Miss Ruey" "If this la such a frightful place, why are you so anxious, If I may employ such language, to hornawoggle your dearest friend, Mr. John 9. Webster, Into coming dpwn here? Do you want te kill him and get his money? or what?" i Billy's face flamed at thought of the embarrassing trap his glib tongue had led ltim into. He cursed himself for s star-spangled jackass, and while he was engaged In this Interesting pastime Do lore* spoke again. "And by the way, which la Itt Mlaa W11 kins or Mrs.? Yeu've called her hoth. and when I reminded yon aha waa a Mlaa, yon agreed with me, whereas she la nothing of the sort. She'a a Mrs. Then yon blurted out something about a Mother Jenka, and finally, Mr. Geary, It occurs to me that for a complete stranger you are unduly Interested in my welfare. I'm not such a goose as to assimilate your weird tales of death from disease. It occurs to me that If yonr friend John 8. Webster can risk Buenaventura, I can also." "Ton?yon know that old tarantula f" Billy gaspad. "Why I?I came oat to warn him off the grass, too." Dolores walked a step closer to Billy and eyad htm disapprovingly. Tm so sorry I can't believe that statement," she replied. "It happens that I waa standing by the companion-ladder when yon came aboard and apeka to the parserj when you aaked him If Mr. Webster was aboard, your face waa I alight with eagerness and anticipation, but when yon had raaaon t* was not aboard, you looked ao terribly disappointed I felt sorry for yon. "I'm going ashore, tf tf a tho last act of my life, and wban I get there I'm going to interview the cable agent; then I'm going to call at tbe eteamahlp office and scan the pane anger Hat of the la at three north-bound at earners, and If I do net find Qenrletta WUkins' game on one of those passenger llstt I'm going np fee Calle de Concordia No. IP?" "I surrender uncondiffionally,** groaned Billy. "I'm a liar from beginning to end. I overlooked my hand.

The last sentence was a shaft deliberately launched; to Dolores' delight It made a keyhole In Billy Geary's heart. "Don't get me wrong, Miss Ruey," he hastened to assure her. "I have a good mine, but I'd trade it for a handshake from Jack I The good Lord only published one edition of Jack, and limited the edition to one volume; then the plates were melted for the Junk we call the human race. Two weeks ago, when I was sick and penniless and despairing, the possessor of a concession en a fortune, bat without a centavo In my pockets to buy a banana, when I was a veritable beachcomber and existing on the charity of Mother Jenks, I managed finally to communicate with old Jack and told him whera I waa and what I had.

And BlUy handed her John Stuart Webster's remarkable cablegram, the receipt of which had, for Billy Geary, transformed night Into day, purgatory Into paradlae. Dolores read It. "No wonder you love him," she declared, and added artlessly: "His wife must simply adore him." " 'He has no wife to bother his life, so he paddles his own canoe,'" Billy recited. "I don't believe the old sour dough has ever been In love with anything more charming than the goddess of fortune. He's woman-proof." "About Mrs. Jenks," Dolores continued, abruptly changing the subject. "How nice to reflect that after she had trusted you and believed In you when you were penniless, yon were enaDied to Justify her faith." | "You bott" Billy declared. "I feel that I can never possibly hope to catch even with the old Bamaritan, although I did try to show her how ' much I appreciated her." "I dare ??j jmu went right out and 1 bought her an impoaalble hat," Dolores challenged roguishly. , "No, 1 didn't, for a very sufficient reason. Down here the ladles do not wear hats. But I'll tell you what I did buy her, Mlse Ruey?and oh, by i George, I'm glad now I did It. Shell 1 wear them tomorrow when I bring her | to see you. I bought her a new black , silk dress and an old-lace collar, and a gold breast pin and a tortoise shell hair comb and hired an open carriage and took her for an evening ride on the Malecon to listen to the band concert." ' "Did she like that?" 1 "She ate it up." Billy declared with conviction. "I think It was her first ] adventure In democracy." , Billy's pnlse was still far from normal when be reached El Buen Amtgo, for he was infused with a strange, new-fo?n<i warmth that burned like malarial fever, but wasn't He wasted ' no preliminaries on Mother Jenks, but ' bluntly acquainted her with the facts > In the case. 1 Mother Jenks eyed him a moment wildly.
