mirthfully. "All coons look alike to

"Mere patter of our profession. Mr.
Webster," she admitted, "tossed In to

It behind you. at the call of friendship.

you have reconsidered that foolish

lie was gazing at her with an expression
composed of equal parts of
awe, amazement, consternation, adoration,
and blank stupidity.
"Well," she queried Innocently, "to

"You did Very well for an amateur

I think I might, to quote Billy again,
make a stab at It. Do you care to
bet me about ten dollars I cannot give
you the fat party's Initials?all three
of themf"
He gazed ?t her owllshly. 8he was
the most perfectly amazing girl he
had ever met; be was certain she
would win the ten dollars from him.
but then It was worth ten dollars to
know for a certainty whether she was
perfect or possessed of a slight flaw;
so he silently drew forth a wallet that
would have choked a cow and skinned
off a ten-dollar gold certificate of the
United States of America.
"I'm game," he mumbled.
"The fat gentleman's Initials are E.
P. J."
"By the twelve apostles, Peter,
Simon?"
"Don't blaspheme, Mr. Webster." 1
He stood up and shook himself.
"When you order the tea," he said
very distinctly, "please have mine
cold. I need a bracer after that. Take
the ten. You've won It."
"Thanks, ever so much." she answered
In a matter-of-fact tone, and
lucked the bill inside her shirtwaist.
"1 am a very poor woman, and?
'Every little bit added to what you've

caroled, swaying her lithe, beautiful
body and snapping her fingers like a

Then he remembered that this was an

that he had not paid the lady her fee. i

to relate. In that ecstatic moment no
thought of Billy Geary marred the perfect
serenity of what promised to be
the most perfectly serene night In bis- '
tory.
??
They were seated at the tiny tea
table when the sound of feet crunching
the little shell-paved path through
the patio caused Webster and Dolores
to turn their heads s'multnneously.
Coming toward tlieui was au Individ- 1
ual who wore upon a head of flnmlng
red a disreputable, con lea I crowned
straw sombrero; a soiled cotton
camlsa with the tails (lowing free of
his equally soiled khaki trousers, and
sandals of the kind known as alpnr- '
gate*?made from the tough Hbre of a
plant of the cactus family and worn 1
only hy the very lowliest peons?completed
his singular attire. 1
"One of Billy's friends and another
reason why he has no social standing," 1
Dolores whispered. "I believe he's going
to speak to us."
Such evidently appeared to he the
man's Intention. He came to the
edge of the veranda, swept his ruin
of a hat from his red head and bowed
with Castlllnn expanslveness.
"Yer pardon, Miss, for appeartn' before
you."
She smiled her forgiveness to what
Webster now perceived to be an
alcoholic wreck. He was about to
dismiss the fellow with scant ceremony.
when Dolores, with that rich
sense of almost masculine humor?
a humor that was distinctly American
?said sweetly:
"Mr. Webster, shake hnnds with Don
Juan Cafetero, bon vlvant and man
about town.. Don Juan, permit me to
present Mr. Webster, from somewhere
In the nnlted States. Mr. Webster la
a mining partner of our mutual friend
Mr. William Geary."
A long, sad descent Into the Pit had,
however, imbued Don Juan with a
aense of his degradation; he was In
the presence of a superior, and he acknowledged
the Introduction with a
respectful Inclination of his head.
. '"Tls you I've called to see, Mlsther
Webster, sor," ha explained.
"Very well, old-timer. In what way
can I lie of service to you?"
"'Tls the other way around, sor, 11
ye plaze, an* for that same there's no
cbarrge, seeln' ye're the partner, av
that fine, kind glntleman, Mlsther
Geary. Did ye, whilst In New Orleans,
have d'allngs wit' a short, shtout
aplggoty wit* a puckered scar undber
his right eye?"
John Stuart Webster suddenly sat
np straight and gAzed upon the lost
son of Brln with grave Interest. "Ves,"
he replied, "I seem to recall such a
man."
"'TIs none av me business, sor, but
would ye mind tellln' me Just what ye
did to that splggoty?"
"Why, to begin, last Sunday morning
1 Interrupted tills pucker-eyed fellow
and a pop-eyed friend of bis while
engaged In an attempt to assassinate a
while. Inoffensive stranger. The following
day, at the gangplank of the
steamer, we met again; he poked bis
nose luto my business, so I squeezed
his nose until he cried; right before
everybody I did It, Don Juan, and to
add Insult to Injury, I plucked a few
hairs from his rat's moustache?one
hulr per each pluck."
"I'd a notion ye did sometliln' to
him, sor. Now, thin, listen to me:

"Thank you. Don Juan. Vou're the

"Well," Don Juan replied with a
naive grin, "I did know somethln' else.
but shure, Mlsther Geary advised me Sj
to forget It I was wit' him In tlitf J
launch Inst night."
Webster stepped out of the vernndn
and laid a frfendly hand on Don Juan j
Cafotero's shoulder. "Don Juan." he
said gently, "I'm going back to the
United States very soon. Would you
like to come with me?" '
Don Junn'8 watery eyes grew a
shade mistier. If possible. He shook
his hend. "Whin I'm dhrunk here. ,n

tlntlon to me. but In America they'd ^
give me ten days In the hoosegow
wanst a week. Thank you, sor, but !'!! J*1
shtny here till the finish."
He knew the strength of the De- ^
mon and had long since censed to fight 1)1
even a rearguard action. Webster w'
put a hand under the stubby chin and ??
tilted Don Juan's head sharply. "Hold 1
up your head," he commander)
"You're the first of your breed I ever 1 '
saw who would admit he was whipped. 9t
Here's five dollars for you?five dol
lars gold. Take It and return with the ^
piece Intact to-morrow morning. Don
Juan Cafetero." y<
Don Juan Cafetero'a wondering
glance met Webster's directly, wavered,
sought the ground, but at a Jerk on
tils chin came back and?stayed. ?
Thus for at least ten Reeonds they
gased at each other; then Webster 1,1
spoke. "Thank you," be said. [r
"Me name Is John J. Oafferty," the !s
lost one quavered. 81
"Round one for Cafferty," Webster p
laughed. "Good-bye now, until nine n'
to-morrow. Til expect you here, John,
without fall." And he took the dere- tc
llct'a hand and wrung It heartily.
"Well," Webster remarked humorously
to Dolores as he held out bis
cup for more tea, "If I'm not the ort- rt
glnal Tumble Tom, I hope I may never pl
see the back of r?/ neck." "J
"Do you attach any Importance te *
Don Juan'a atoryr* she asked anxiously.
"Yes, but not so much as Don Juan B|
does. I greatly fear I have managed *
to snarl myself up In a Sobrantean
political intrigue, when I haven't the D<
slightest Interest either way. How- **
ever, that's only ene more reason why '
I should finish my work here and get y
back to Denver."
"But how did all Hlla hnnun Ur "
Webster?" J
"Like shooting Ash la a dry lake.
Miss Ruey," Webster replied, and related
to her In detail the story of his *
adventure with the Sobrantean a*- 11
sasslna In Jackson square and his sub- ''
sequent meeting with Andrew Bowers f"
aboard La Rstrelllta.
Dolores laughed long and heartily as
Webster finished his humorous recital. v
"Billy told me Ood only made one 11
Jack Webster and then destroyed the h
mold; I believe Billy Is right. But do
tell me what became of this extra- "
ordinary and unhidden guest."
"The night the steamer arrived itf 11

a launch to say 'Hello,' so I seized
upon the opportunity to tell Andrew

launch. Gave him a little note to

"That's so comforting," she remark- Je
d dryly. ,ot
Webster looked at her sharply, auspiciously
; her words were susceptible
of a dual Interpretation. Her next coi
sentence, however, dissipated this tm- t
presslon. "Because It confirms what
I told you this afternoon when I read "e
