WHAT do you tninK or a uri, little
more than a debutante at that, who
' received a preecni ui urn num a mini
jfow ain't that "candayllous? Such,
kowever, It the awful truth, ,and a mighty
' ftkt Ktrl at that, mind your and after
liother had protested loudly.
Wetl, I' tnla vnxj: p- M n9 m
tnK to aend E. some furs for the win.
ter ahd aiked Mother's permission, and
when she aald no, he decided he would
jnd them anyhow. 80 next day from
one of the leading fur stores came a box
to J3-i who, with much trepidation, took
U uoitalrs, far away from Mother's eye,
izA was about to redirect It to the bold,
tad man, when curiosity, that great
weakness of her sex, rot the better of
her and she thought, 'Well, I'll Just look
at what he sent; Just to see them, you
know." And so she opened the big,
, stylish box, and lo and behold 1 lying
bidden, In the soft folds of myriad rolls
ef tissue paper was the cunnlngest whlto
, fur scarf ab6ut four Inches long and a
tiny white muff about two Inches wide,
alt lined with pink sateen. Just the
rlgbt size for sister's doll! And sister's
doll got them, too.
And the Joke of It all was that P. was
Just trying to get a rise out of E. any
how. He had bought the fur at the
rtve-and-ten" and Inveigled the amart
fur store Into letting him have the box
ntl paper, t think It was a pretty good
cat myself, don't you?
Did you hear of the trials of two re
cent newlyweds, who started off last
week In their new car beforo the paint
wai even dry thereon. They went over
to New York to got away from the house
here, which only had two maids, because
the rest of the family wero up In camp
with the other molds, and It was "just
awful to get along In that house with
only two; and such a nuisance to get
mre." So thoy hied themselves oft to
the great metropolis to stay at the Itltz
or some such hostelry. Says the small
bird, who told mo of their hardships,
"Tou might have thought they were
camping out In a tent with all kinds of
lnconventonces to hear them talk of the
awful experience of having only two
maids." Preserve us!

CIIAPTRB IX (Continued)
YET was he tempted, nof Ignobly, but by
reason of his love for her. Once, years'
ago, when his arduous professional studies
were distracted by a momentary Infatua
tion for a fair face, a woman had proved
fickle, when tempted by greater wealth
than he possessed. For. long he was a
confirmed misogynist, to his great and
lasting gain as a leader ot men. But
with more equable judgment came a fixed
resolution not to marry unless his Jiros
pectlve bride cared only for him and not
for his position. To a Staff Corps officer,
even one with a small private Income, this
was no unattainable Ideal. Then he met
With his debacle In the shame and agony
of the oourt-marttal. While his soul still
quivered under the lash ot that terrible
downfall. Iris came Into his lite, lie knew
not what might happen It they were res
cued. The time would paes Quickly until
the old order was resumed, she to go
back to her position In society, he to be
come again a disgraced ex-ofTlcer, appar
ently working out a mere existence before
the mast or handling plates In a saloon.
Would It not be a sweet defiance of ad
versity were he able. ocn under such con
ditions, to win her love, and then die
close to her the potentialities of the Island.
Perchanco he might fail.
Though rich as Croesus he would still bo
under the social ban meted out to a cash
iered officer. She was a clrl who could
command the gift of coronets, with res
toration to her father and home, gratitude
to her preserver would assuredly remain,
but. alas I love might vanish like a mirage.
Tnen he would net honorably. Halt of the
stored wealth would be hers to do as she
chose with It.
Yes, this was a possible alternative. In
case of accident to himself, and her ultimate
escape, he must Immediately write full de
tails ot his discovery, and Intruet the doc
ument to her, to be opened only after his
death or six months after their release.
The Idea possessed him so thoroughly
that he could brook no delay. He searched
for one of the notebooks taken from the
dead officers of the Sirdar, and scribbled
the following letter:
"Dear Miss Deane: Whether I am liv
ing or dend when you read these words, you
will know that I love you. Could I repeat
that avowal a million times. In as many
varied forms, I should find no better phrase
to express the dream I have cherished since
a happy fate permitted me to snatch you
from death. So I simply say 'I love you.'
I will continue to love you while life lasts,
and It Is my dearest hope that In the life be
yond the grave I may still be able to voice
my love for you.
"But perhaps I am not destined to be
loved by you. Therefore, In the event of
my death before you leave the Island. I
wish to give you Instructions how to rind
a gold mine of great value which Is hid
den In the rock containing the cave. You
remember the s gn on the pleoe of tin which
we could not understand. The figure 32 de
notes the utmost dopth of the excavation,
and tho 1 signifies that one foot below the
surface,' on reaching the face of the rock,
there Is a rich vein of gold, The hollow on
the other side of the cliff became filled with
anhydrnte gas. and this stopped the opera
tions ot the Chinese, who evidently knew of
the existence of the mine. This Is all the
Information the experts employed by Sir
Arthur Deane will need. The facts are un
questionable. "Assuming that I am nllve, we will, of
course, be copartners In the mine. If I am
dead, I wish one-sixth share to be glen to
my uncle, William Anatruther, Cross
thwalte Manor, Northallciton, Yorkshire, as
a recompense for his kindness to me dur
ing my early life. The remainder Is to be
yours absolutely.
"ROBEIIT ANSTrtUTIir.IV
Ho read this remarkable document twice
through to make sure that It exactly re
corded his sentiments. He een smiled
sarcastically at the endowment of the uncle
who disinherited him. Then, satisfied with
the perusal, he tnro out the two leaves cov
ered by the letter and began to devise a
means ot protecting It securely while In
Iris's possession.
At that momept he looked up and saw
her coming 'toward him across the beach,
brightly flushed after her bath, walking like
a nymph clothed In tattered garments.
Perceiving that he was watching her, she
waved her hand and Instinctively quick
ened her pace. Even now, when they were
thrown together by the exigencies ot each
hour, she disliked to be long separated from
htm.
Instantly the scales fell from his mental
vision. What I Distrust Iris I Imagine
for one second that riches or poverty, good
repute or 111. would affect that loyal heart
when Its virginal font was filled with the
love that once In her tlfe comes to every
true woman! Perish the thought! What
evil spirit had power to so blind his per
ception ot all that was strong and beauti
ful In her character. Brave, uncomplaining
Iris I Iris of the crystal soul 1 Iris, whose I
innocence ana candor were mirrored in
her blue eyes and breathed through heri
dear lips I, Here was Othello acting as hist
own tempter, with not an lago within a.
thousand miles.
Laughing at hta fantastlo folly, Jenkn
tore the letter Into little pieces. It might
have been wiser to throw the sheets Into
the embers of tho fire close at hand, but
for the nonce he was overpowered by the
rreat awakenlnsr that hnrt come to him.
and he unconsciously murmured the musicalI
lines or Tennyson s "Jiaud":
"She I eomtnr. my own. mr sweet:
Were It ever an airy a trad.
My heart would hear her and beat
w
were It In an earthy hed!
Mr dust would hear her and beat.
uau i lain ror a cenzury dead;
Would atart and tremble under her feet.
And bloaaom In purine -and red.'
"Good gracious!' Don't gaze at me In
that fashion. I don't look like a ghost,
do IT" cried Iris, when near enough to
note his rapt expression. '
"You would not object If I called you
a vision?" ho Inquired quietly, averting
his eyes lest they should speak more plainly
than his tongue.
"Not If you meant It nicely. But I fear
that 'specter' would be a more appropriate
word. Via ma mellteure robe do sortie I"
She spread out the front widths of her
skirt, and certainly the prospect' was
lamentable. The dress was so patched and
mended, yet so full of fresh rents, that,
a respectaoie noueemaia wouia hesitate be
fore using It to clean flrelrona.
"Is that really your beat dress T" he
said.
"Yes. This Is my blue serge. The brown
cloth did not survive tho soaking It re
ceived In salt water. After a few days
It simply crumbled. The others are muslin
or cotton, and have been er adapted."
"There is plenty of men's clothing," he
began.
"Unfortunately there. Isn't another
Island," she said, severely.
"No. I meant that It might be possible
to er contrive some sort of rig that will
servo all purposes.
"But all my thread Is gone. I have
barely a needleful left."
"In that case we must fall tback on
our supply of hemp."
"I suppose that might be made to serve,"
she said. "You are never at a loss for an
expedient."
"It will be a poorjone, I fear. But you
can make up for It by buying some nice,
gowns at Doucet's or Worth's."
She laughed delightedly. "Perhaps In his
Joy at, my reappearance my dear old dad
may let me run riot In Paris on our way
home. But that will not last. We are
fairly well oft, but I cannot afford 10,000
a year for dress alone,"
"If any woman can afford such a sum
for the purpose, you are at least her equal,"
Iris looked puzzled. "Is that your way ot
telling me that fina feathers would make
me a fine bird 7" she aakea.
"No. I Intend my words to be under
stood In their ordinary sense. You are
very, very rich. Miss Deane an ex
travagantly wealthy young person."
"Of course you know you are talking
nonsense. Why, only the other day my
father said"
"Excuse me. What Is the average price
of a walking dress from a leading Paris
house?
'Thirty pounds."
"And an evening dress?"
"Oh. anything, from fifty upward"
He picked up a few pieces of quartz from
tho canvas sheet.
"Here la your walking dress." he said,
handing her a lump weighing about a
pound. "With the remainder In the heap
there you can stagger tho best-dressed
woman you meet at your flrat dinner In
England "
"Do you menn by pelting her?" she In.
'lulred, mischievously.
'Far worse. By wearing a more ex
pensive costume."
His manner ns so earnest that he com
pelled serlouanees. Iris took the proffered
specimen and looked at It.
"From the cave, I suppose? I thought
.Ljlla "Ptlmony was not very valuable?"
That le not antimony, it Is gold. By
ennnce I hae hit uppn nn extremely rich
joue of gold. At the most modest computo
lion It la worth hundreds of thousands of
pounds. "You and I are quite wealthy
persohs. Mis, Deane."
.ufrl? .Pned her blue eyes very wide nt
this Intelligence. It took her brenth away.
But her first words betokened .her Innate
sense of fair dealing.
"You and I! Wealthy!" she gasped. "I
am so glad for your sake, but tell me,
?1?y,,...r' Jenk8 what hlu'8 got to dc
with It?"
"You!" he repeated. "Are we not part
,ners In this Island? liv animtfa ..iv. i.
by no better title, we own land, m'nerals.
.. , ninn mm even sucn weira belong
ings ns. ancient lights and fishing
privileges."
"I don't see that at all. You find a gold
mine, and coolly tell me that I am a half
owner of It becauso you dragged me out
or the sea, fed mo, housod mo, saved my
lire from pirates, and generally acted like
a devoted nursemaid In charge of a baby.
Really, Mr. Jenks "
"Really, Miss Deane, you will annoy me
seriously If you say another word. I ab
solutely refuse to listen to such an argu
ment. Her outrageously unbuslness-llke utter
ances. trending fast on the heels of his own
melodramatic and written views concerning
their property, nettled him greatly. Each
downright syllable was a sting to his con
science, but of this Iris was blissfully un
aware, else she would not hae applied
caustic to the rankling wound caused by
his momentary distrust of her.
For some time they stood In silence, until
the sailor commenced to reproach himself
for his rough protest Perhaps he had
hurt her sensitive Teellngs. What a brute
he was, to be sure !
She was only a child In ordinary affairs,
nnd he ought to have explained things more
lucidly and with greater command over his
temper. And all this time Iris's face, was
dimpling with amusement, for she under
stood him so well that had he threatened
tp kill her she would have laughed at him.
Would.j-ou mind getting the lamp?" he
said softly, surprised Jo catch her expres
sion of saucy humor.
"Oh. please may I speak?" she Inquired.
"I dont want to annoy you, but I arrf sim
ply dying to talk."
He had forgotten his own Injunction.
"Let us first examine our mine," he
sald "If you bring the lamp we can have
a good look at It."
Close scrutiny of the work already done
merely confirmed tho accuracy of his first
Impressions. While Iris held the light he
opened up the seam with a few strokes of
mo pick. i,acn tew inches It broadened
Into a noteworthy volcanic dvke. now v.t.
low In Its absolute purity, at times a bluish
black when fused with other metals. The
additional labor Involved caused him to
follow up the line of the fault. Suddenly
the flame of the lamp began to flicker In a
draft. There was an air passage between
cave and ledge. ,
"I am sorry.'' cried Jenks, desisting
from further efforts, "that I have not re
cently read one of Bret Harto's novels, or
I would speak to you In the language of the
mining camp. But In plain Cockney. Miss
Deane, we are on to a good thing If only
wo can keep It."
They came back Into the external glare.
Iris was now so serious that she forgot to
extinguish the little lamp, She stood with
outstretched hand.
'There Is a lot of money In there," she
said.
Tons of It"
"No need to quarrel about division. There
Is enough for both -of us." "
"Quite enough. We can even spare some
for our friends."
He took so readily to this definition of
their partnership that Iris suddenly be
came frigid. Then she saw the ridiculous
gleam of the tiny wick and blew It out
"I mean,'r she said stiffly, 'that If you
and t do agree to go shares we will each
be very rich."
"Exactly. I applied your words to the
mine alone, of course."
A slight thing will shatter a day dream
This sufficed. The aallot resumed his task
of burying the stores.
"Poor llttlo lamp!" he thought. "When
It came Into the greater world how soon It
was snuffed out"
But Iris said to herself. "What a silly
slip that was of mine! Enough for both
of us. Indeed I Does he expect me to pro
pose to him? I wonder what the letter
was about which he destroyed as I came
back nfter -My bath. It must have been
meant for me. Why did he write It? Why
did he tear It up?"
Tha hour drew near when Jenks climbed
to the Summit Rock. He shouldered ax
and rifle and set forth. Iris heard him rus
tllng upward through the trees. She set
some fresh water to boll for tea, and, while
bringing a fresh supply of fuel, passed the
rpot where the torn scraps of paer littered
tho sand.
She was the soul of honor, for a woman,
but there was never u woman yet who
could take her eyes off a written document
which confronted her. She could not help
seeing that one small morsel contained her
name. Though mutilated It had clearly
rend, "Dear Miss Deane."
"So It was Intended for met" she cried,
throwing down her bundle and dropping to
her knees. She secured that particular slip
nnd examined It earnestly. Not for worlds
would she pick up all the scraps and en
deavor to sort them. Yet they had a fasci
nation for her. nnd nt this closer range she
raw another which bore the legend "I love
you 1"
Somehow the two seemed to flit together
very nicely.
Yet a third enrrted the same words "I
Ioe you!" They were still quite coherent.
She did not want to look any further. She
did not even turn over such of the torn
pieces as had fluttered to earth face down
ward. Opening the front of her bodice she
brought to light a small gold locket con
taining miniatures of her father and
mother. Inside this receptacle she carefully
placed the three really material portions of
the sailor's letter. When Jenks walked
down the hill again he heard her singing
long before he caught sight of her, sedul
ously tending the fire.
As he came near he perceived the remains
of his useless document. He stooped and
gathered them up. forthwith throwing them
among the glowing logs.
"By the way, what were you writing
while I had my bath?" Inquired Iris, de
murely. "Some Information about the mine. On
socond thought however, I saw It was un
necessary." "Oh. was that all?"
"Practically all."
'Then some part was Impracticable?"
He glanced sharply at her, but she was
merely talking nt random.
"Well, you see,"he explained, "one can
do so little without the requisite plant. This
sort of ore requires a crushing-mill, a smelt
ing furnace, perhaps big tanks flllod with
cynlde of potassium."
"And, of course, although you can do
wonders, you cannot provide all those
things, can you?"
Jenks deemed this query to be unanswer
able. They were busy again until night fell.
Sitting down for a little while before re
tiring to rest, they discussed, for the hun
dredth time, the probabilities of speedy
succor. This led them to the topic of
available supplies, and the sailor told lrla
the dispositions ho had made.
"Did you bury the box of books?" she
asked.
"Yes, but not In the cave. They are at
the foot of the cinchona over there. Why?
Do you want any?"
"I .have a Bible In my room, but there
was a Tennyson ntrlbng the others which I
glanced nt in spare moments."
The sailor thanked the darkness that con
cealed the deep bronze of face and neck
caused by this chance remark. He vaguely
recollected the manner In which the lines
from "Maud" came to his lips after the
episode of the letter. Was It possible that
he had unknowingly uttered them aloud nnd
Iris was now silly poking fun at htm? He
glowed with embarrassment

THE GREAT GOD FEAR
Dear Children At the time I am writing this for you the world is
bathed in a SEA OP FEAR.
Everybody is afraid of something.
I want to. tclUyou again the difference, between FEAR and PRECAUTION.
When I cross tho street I look flrst to the left and then to the right
this is PRECAUTION, If I get in the mlddlp of the street and do not know
which way to go, I become panic-stricken through FEAR and get run over.
As a rule, FEAR is useless.
The thing I feared hit me. The thing you fear is likely to hit you.
How many of us worship the GREAT GOD FEAR?
Oh, I wish you might start YOUNG and eliminate fear from your life I
Sometimes we are nfraid of something wo have never encountered before.
A horse shies at a piece of paper and walks quietly past a snorting locomotive.
Do not let people plant FEAR in you I Do not let people SCARE you.
If grown-ups strike a child they may be arrested, but thousands of grown
ups try to torture children through FEAR.
Mako up your mind YOU will not be SCARED..
Worship TRUTH, LOVE AND HONESTY instead of THE GREAT GOD
FEAR. FARMER SMITH, Children'! Editor.
