Inc., Xtw Copvrtoht. lilt, fcy the PitWo Ltdotr Co., yonEwoim fTtWO dreams have persistently haunted the J- Imagination of man since dreams began. You find them In all mythologies, and, per haps most dramatically. In the Arabian Nights: the dream of the Water of Immortal- ity, and the dream of the Golden City. Within recent Hires that Is, during the six teenth century both were lifted out of the region of fairy lore, and men as far from "dreamers," in the ordinary sense, as the "conquistador" Ponce de Leon and Sir Wal ter Raleigh raised them Into the sphere of somothlng like Elizabethan practical politics. Whether or'not Ponce de Leon did actually discover tho Fountain of Eternal Youth on the Blmlnl Islands concerns us but In cidentally here. At all events, he Beems to have died without drinking of It; as death on the scaffold was the penalty for Raleigh's failure to discover El Dorado. So practically had tho courts of Elizabeth and James re garded the dream of tho Golden City, and so firm had been Raleigh's own belief In It. Though Raleigh's name Is most conspicuously and tragically connected with It, of Course It had been Spanish adventurers for several generations before exploring that "Spanish Main" which they had already, and In romance forever, made their own who had given that dream Its local habitation and Us name. Martinez had been tho first to tell how, haUng drifted on the coast of Guiana, he had been taken Inland to a city called Manoa, whose king was In alliance with the Incas. Manoa, said he. to opened mouths nnd wondering eyes, on his return to Spain, was literally built, walls and roofs, houses big and little, of silver nnd gold. His tale, garnished with many other mysterious mat ters, soon speeded expedition after expedition, dreaming across those "perilous seas In fairyland forlorn." All came back with marvels on their tongues. All had caught a glimpse of the gild cd domes of the city, but that was all. Gon zales Xlmlnez de Quesada from Santa Fe de Bogota was "warmest," perhaps ; but he too failed Many a daring sailor since has vainly gone on a like quest Even In our prosaic times In tho true Elizabethan spirit, that, for all their romance, actually animated thoso enterprises of old time when men sought real gold as now, not "faery-gold" an enter prise, with a prospectus, shareholders and those dreams now known as promised dividends, has made It Its serious "Incorpo rated" business to go In quest of El Dorado. But, elaborate as all previous expeditions and enterprises have been, and dauntless as the courage of the individual explorer, one and all have failed till now. Till now, I say for at last El Dorado has beert discov ered, and It Is my proud prlvllego to an nounce, for tho first time, the name of Its discoverer Dr. Clifford Smyth. Doctor Smyth has chosen the medium of fiction for the publication of his dlscocry, like other such eminent discoverers as the authors of Erewhon and Utopia, but that fact, I need hardly say, In nowise Invalidates tho authenticity and serious Importance of his discovery. Though truth bo stranger than Action. It has but seldom Its charm, and, to use the by gone phrase. Doctor Smyth's relation of hap penings which we never doubt for a rapt moment did happen "reads as entertainingly as a fiction." In fact, the present writer who confesses to the Idleness of keeping au courant with the good and even merely id ertlsed fiction of the day, recalls no Action In some years that has seemed to him com parable In imaginative quality with The Gilded Man, or has glen him, In any like degree, the special kind of delight which Doc tor Smyth's narrative has given him. For any such thrills ns the latter part of the book In particular holds, he Ands that his memory must travel back, no difficult or lengthy journey, to Mr. Rider Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines" a book which one sees more and more taking Its place as one of the classics of fantastic romance, the kind of romance which combines adventure with poetic strangeness: though, at Its publica tion, "superior persons." wtth the notable exception of that paradoxical most superior person and man of genius. Andrew Lang, disdained It as a passing "thriller." Perhaps It is not indiscreet to say that one circumstance of Doctor Smyth's life gave him exceptional opportunity for that dream ing on his special object which Is found to be the Invariable Incubation, so to say, preced ing all great discoveries. For some ears Doctor Smyth was United States consul at Carthagena, that unspoiled haunted city of the Spanish Main, which, It may bo recalled, furnishes a spirited chapter in the history of Roderick Random, Esquire, of His Majesty's Navy. He was, therefore, seated by the very door to that land of enchantment, which, as we have been saying, had drawn so many adventurous spirits under roaring canvas across the seas. In the spacious days. He was but a short mule-back Journey from that tablo-land raised high In the upper Andes where Bogota, tho capital of Colombia, Is situated, tho region around which all those "superstitions" retailed by Indians to those early adventurers center. Descendants of the same Indla's still tell the Bame fctorles, and still the average prosaic mind laughs at them as "supurstltlons." El Dorado! as If any one could take It seriously nowadays! Has not the term long been a picturesque synonym for the City of Impossible Hap piness, the Land of Heart's Desire, the Paradise of Fools, and all such cities and realms and destinations and states of being, as tho yearning heart of man. finding no where on the earth he knows, Imagines In the sun-tipped cloudland of his dreams, and to ward which ho pathetically turns his eyes, and stretches out his arms to tne end? But what If El Dorado were no sueh mere Agment of man's aching fancy, after all ; what If the El Dorado, so passionately be lieved In by those eminently practical Eliza bethans, did all the time, as they surmised, exist upon this solid earth, and should still quite concretely exist there? . Is it not likely that such might be the mus ings of a man situated as was Doctor Smyth, in the ery heart of the mystery, a man of affairs, touched with Imagination, as all really capable men of affairs are; and. ns he listened to the old Indian talfs, and talked with miners, and all manner of folk acquaint ed with the terrain of the legend, what could he do but fall under the same spell that had lold Its ghostly hand on the mighty heart of Raleigh centurlea before, and follow Its beckoning, as the other Inspired madmen be fore him? But, as wo have seen, his doom was to be different. For so long generations of dead men had come crying, like those three old horsemen in Morris's Olitterlng Plain: "Is this the Land? Is this the Land?" to turn broken-hearted away; but from him. of all men born, throughout the generations, was to be heard at last the Joyou, ringing' cry: This Is tho Land 1 This is the Land I" Pause for one moment more and think what El Dorado has meant to mankind; think, with all your might and then think what roust have been the feeling of the man -who stood looking upon It, and knew that he that he had found it. In such moments of transfiguring realization men often lose their reason, and. as we say, it Is not a .little surprising that Doctor Smyth Is alive to tell the tale. The lovely knowledge might well have struck him as by lightning, and the secret once more have been burled In oblivion. I have all along taken It for granted that Doctor Smyth's The Glided Man Is a genuine narrative, the true story of a wonderful happening. If any one should come to me and tell me that I am simple-minded, that. It la no such thing, and that, u the children BijHPMHHM oy Cifiord Sinyth say, Doctor Smth "made It up all out orf his own head," I should still need a lot of comlnclnc. nnd, were conviction nt last forced upon me, I could only answer that Doctor Smyth must then possess a power of creating Illusion such as few romancers have possessed. For there Is n plausibility, a particularity, a concreteness about all tho bcenes nnd personages In The Glided Man that make It Impossible not ,to believe them true nnd actual, however removed from com mon experience they may seem. I should llko very much to bo morn particular, but I cannot very well be so without betrnylng the story or "true and veracious history," whlcheer It may turn out to be. Still I can hint at one or two matters without be traying tocr much Tho mysterious queen, SaJIpona, for example, seems not only real, but she and her love-story make one of the loveliest Idyls In what, for want of a better word, erne may call "supernatural" romance that has ever been written. And all tho dream-like happenings In the great cave, though of the orltnblo "ctuff that dreams ore made of," are endowed with as near and moving a sense of reality as though they were enacted on Broadway. But It Is time I ended my proud role of showman, and allowed tho show to begin. So this and no more: If Doctor Smyth has, as I personally bellevo from the convincing manner of his book, dlscocred El Dorado, he Is to be congratulated alike on thd dis covery and his striking method of publishing forth the news; but if ho has merely dreamed It for our beneAt, then I say that a man whom wo have long respeected as a wise and generous critic of other men's books should lose no time In writing more books of his own. RICHARD LB GALLIENNE CHAPTER I In Which Comtt Goes Lame WHEN, one evening In the late autumn. David Meudon reached the entrance to Stonelelgh Garden, where Una Leighton awaited him, It was e!dent something un usual had''happened "You are late," she salo?, s he clapped tho slender hun'd. extended to him In 'welcome "I could ride no faster Comet Is lame " The tired bay, belying his name, stood dejectedly, one white foreleg slightly bent. as If seeking relief from a weight It was weary of bearing. By the friendly way In which he stretched forth his muzzle to touch the girl's proffered Angers, Comet was evi dently not a stranger to her endearmentf. "Poor Comet. Why didn't you take bet ter care of him?" "I was too Impatient at the start, and that got him Into trouble. After that, of course, we had to go slowly. I hated Jlhe delay. I hated having to listen to 'ray own thoughts for so long " Her gray eyes Axed questloningly upon the bronzed, sharp-featured man, she noted his restless gaze, his rldlng-whlp's Irrltablo tattoo on polished boot-top ns he stood at her side. Then, flinging her arms about his neck, her face, flushed with pleasure and expressive of a mingled tenderness and anxiety, turned expectantly to his. "David, you are here!" she said Im pulsively. "You are glad, aren't you? Say that ycur thoughts aren't gloomy any more." "What need to say It Una!" Silently the twe lovers threaded the box bordered path leading to the great stone mansion eyond, pausing to admire the flowers that still bloomed In a straggling sort of way,, or marking the loss of those whose gay colors and delicate fragrance had formed a part of their own Jojous companionship n month ago. But this evening, as If reflecting nature's autumn mood, there was something of melancholy- restraint, wnero restrain had never been Be fore In Euld's bearing; while with Una. there was an affectionate solicitude that strove to soothe an unspoken trouble. "You must stay tonight," she said, "It would be cruel to ride Comet back." "But your uncle will he care to hae me here?" "What a question! Of course he will. 'Are you sure? He was In town the other day to see me. Did he tell your' 'No. But then. Uncle naroio seiaom ichs what he has been doing." "Ho was In one of his one ot nis Brim mooos; cordial enough outwardly, but. Inside, I felt a curious sort of malevolence That's an ugly word but It seemed Just that." "Uncle Harold malevolent I That Isn't very nice of you to say." "He asked me If i thought our marriage eliould take place." "And you said T" "Nothing." "David I" "I am unworthy of you, Una I feel It.

In spite of his self-depreciation. In the eyeB of the world David Meudon would be regarded In every way a worthy suitor for the hand of Una Leighton. Clean of stock, so far as the gifts of blood and social station go, he had inherited besides a fortune that would be considered large even In a nation of millionaires. This Inheritance, coming to ' ,'tr 1 Idea M-eoW The Land nf the Condor him through the death of his father and mother In tho middle of his colic Ke course, hnd not proxed n snare to ,hlm. After com pleting his education, he had traveled ex tensively, not through an Idle curiosity to e tho world, but from a wish to perfect himself In certain studies calling for a wider knowledge than could be gathered from books or tutorB. It wos during his travels abroad, after ha had left his eccentric schoolmate, Raoul Arthur, In India, that D.ivld first met Una Leighton who was spending a winter In England with her uncle. The meeting ripened Into an Intimacy that survived the distrac tions of European travel, and drew David, a constant visitor, to the picturesque old mansion, Una's home, on tho outskirts of the little Connecticut vlllago of Rytdale. There followed those memorable experi ences of youth courtship and betrothal. David loved with nil the fervor of a mature passion, a passion that quite overshadowed all his former Interests. Love for him was an idyl of dreams nnd delicious fantasies, a paradise where he and Una delighted In all the harmless exaggerations' of poetry nnd romance. No cloud dimmed their happiness. The brightest kind of future seemed to stretch Inileflnltely beforo them. All the world the world of Rysdale knew of their love and discussed It eagerly. Their daylong wanderings together, their ab sorption In euch other, appealed to the sensl blo farmera and their wives, who watched with tireless Interest the development of this romanco In their midst. There was some thing, besides the rumors of his great wealth, In the personality of David that would easily account for this Interest. As a result of hl.s long years of solitary travel ho had acquired an Indefinably nlr of reserve that was em phasized by features almost Indian In their clean-cut sharpness und Immobility His whole appearance, Indeed, was of tho kind tra ditionally suggesting mystery a mstery that Inevitubly arouses curiosity In those who come within its Influence. Had Una been a stranger, spending a sum mer, as so many strangers did. in the little mountain hamlet, her Intimacy with David might havo passed unheeded But she be longed very much to the place Generations ngo her ancestors had settled hert. At that Inltlnl epoch In local history, Stonelelgh was the only building of any Importance In or near Rysdale and from that period to this Stonelelgh had been the homo of the Leigh tons Before they bought the gray-gabled mansion (Wt. Maur's House, It was then called) It was occupied by a small congrega tion of Benedictines, who came from Franco to establish themselves lu this quiet corner of the new world. When the house passed from tho monks Into the hands of that stout .Scotch pioneer. John Leighton, It was a deso late sort of ruin. But Its wall were well built and the thrift of Its new owners grad ually added the wings nnd tho square, cen tral tower needed for tho family comfort. Leighton was thus one of tho oldest names In tho neighborhood Tho family bearing It had always prospered. Years ago their In come, what with careful saving and shrewd investment, was sufficient to let them glvf up farming This they did, and settled down to the dignified case thaf'ln an English com munity belongs to thehousehold of a county " 'squire" or to a "lord oi the manor " Harold Leighton, the present owner of Stonelelgh, was more of a recluso than any of his predecessors. To tho gossips of, Rys dale. Indeed, who knew something of the his tory of the place, It seemed as if tho cowl of the monkish founder of the house had fallen upon the shoulders of this gray-luired old man He was looked upon as a student of unprofitable matters, lacking In the canny enterprise distinguishing the Lelghtons be fore him, and that had built up the family fortunes By aome he was liked ; by others and these were In the majority the satirical smile, the cool reserve, the assumption of su periority with which he met the social ad vances of his neighbors, were set down as Indications of a character to be watched with suspicion and that were certainly not of tho right Rysdale stamp. Una. however, was different The villagers did not regard her with the hostility that they had for her uncle. Orphaned at an early age. sno nan easily cayiurea unu uciu ... miwuuii ui muc uu . .-..

With equal grace and favor this radiant little creature accepted the tribute of farmer and farmhand, and when It came to playmates was decidedly more nt ease with the village maidens than with the decorous young ladies who were occasionally brought to Stonelelgh on a visit ot state from the city As Una grew older, this choice of associates, unchecked and even encmiragea oy ner uncie nn(j Elizabeth Quayle, the worthy but not subsequent misery; but she was unable to lighten their woes In the only way they cpuld be lightened And when she discovered that the refusal of their offers usually meant the breaking up of a treasured friendship, she had been known to weep bitterly and form all kinds of self-denying resolutions for the future The climax to her griefs In this respect, a climax partly responsible for her flight to Kurope, came through the weakness (so his Indignant aunt called It) of the district schoolmaster. Andrew I'armelee. Andrew was a solitary dreamer, a friendless. lnof- fenslve sort of person, absorbed in books, frm oblivious to the world around him. Learning, such wisps and strnvs of it ns lodged In his mind as a result of his omnivorous reading, he was quite Incapable of Imparting. The use of tho ftrule, also, was an enigma to him. Hence, there were those unkind enough to whisper that the Rysdale school, under his management, was not what It should be. But every ono liked him, In n toltrant sort of way; and with Una ho was In particular favor. Andrew didn't know this, at least for some time. When he did find It out, that is, when, quite by accident, as It seemed, Una tripped Into his school one day to pay him a visit. It had quite a disastrous effect on him Before that, women, In general and In particular, were utterly unknown to him, creatures to bo Bhunned, to be feared He was familiar, of course, with the eccentricities of his aunt, Hepzlbah Armltage. She looked after hlB wordrobe, fed him, warned him of the various pitfalls of youth, Btopped his spending tho money allowed him by the vil lage trustees on the ancient histories for which he had nn Insatiable appetite. Sho ruled with a rod of Iron, and the rod wasn't always pleasant. But for all that, ho felt that Hfo without Aunt Hepzlbah, although It might give him one mad. rapturous day of freedom, was too bewildering, too dangerous to contemplato as a steady form of existence. Aunt Hepzlbah was an institution; she wns not a woman. He had heard of men falling In love with women. Such an accident. In volving his Aunt Hepzlbah, was unthink able unless. Indeed, something like the con quest of the Scythians by the Amazons, of which lie had read In his Herodotus, shouM bo repeated In Rysdale As for tho girls In Andrew's school, It was impossible to think of them except as so many varieties of human tyranny. They were more perplexing, as a rule, certainly more unmanageable, than the boys This was due to the languishing friendships which they tried to contract with him, and which they mirthfully abandoned Just ns soon as he began to take them seriously In fact, there was nothing In Andrew's fancied or actual experience so terrlbl" not even Aunt Hep zlbah or tho Amazons of Herodotus as the schoolgirl Just old enough to plan and carry out this kind of campaign against him.
