Lovers of Romance, attention
Here's a story you will like. It
tlls of mystery under the dreamy
moon of the Pacific islands and
of love in the shady lanes of New
England and what more can a
story reader want? The mystery,
of course, is introduced early in
the kite, and the -love- follows
close after. Together they go
hand in hand through the pages
of the tfory, never parting com
pany until the final chapter.
There the mystery departs, but
the love remains.
You knov, of course, about the
author, Lloyd Osbourne. He
learned how to write in a worthy
school, for he is a stepson of
Robert Louis Stevenson. A.nd no
greater story teller than the latter
ever lived.
j CHAPTER V.'"
Heart Break Hill.
E rose the next day a very dif
ferent ruau from the idgrlit be
fore. A pitiless consideration
of his circumstances, begun at
dawn, and carried to the bath hour,
bad shown Lira facts as tbey were
tbe dismalest facts imaginable and as
,pray as the first peep of that gray
. morning. Who was he. to be calling
on aristocratic young ladies nd whis
pering things in pretty rink ears? lie
whose fortune amounted to less than
f 4,500 and who had need to strive
ery energetically to keep his own
Stinewbat large rel ears above the en
gilfing wat3rs. Ills business was in-
dibitably mules not to linger in fools'
paradises, waste money and time, and
drf.t into the most heartbreaking of
fal jositions.
lie tried to put that sparkling face
out of his mind; tried not to linger on
those eirllsh admissions that made his
pulses beat; called himself, oh, so many
times, a fool a crazy, silly fool and
Towed ell sorts of tremendous things.
He would excuse himself from that
tea; would leave the next day for Ken
tucky; would get back to dry land and
mules and sanity. But he did not wish
to appear rude. He would hate to have
his action misconstrued. He would go
at 4 after all, and if the occasion pre
sented itself -would tell her the truth
quite frankly that he had hardly any
money, no profession, and a long, up
hill fight in front of him. Though how
idiotic he was to take it all seriously
himself and her and the whole affair
as though it were any more than a
passing flirtation. It was just the in
curable way he had of exaggerating
everything of making mountains out
of molehills. lie laughed at himself
a little forlornly. What an ass he was.
to be sure! What an ass!
After breakfast he made It tip hand
somely with Daggancourt, expatiating
on mules with much ardor and enthu
?iasm and gradually recovering the
aulatto's sorely shaken confidence.
F.e proved his sincerity by promising
to leave for Kentucky on the morrow.
Th?y shook hands on it, and any lark
ing grudge that Victor might still have
felt disappeared in that hearty clasp.
Hut there was still a weight on the
mulatto's mind. He stammered out
something about the San Francisco
mouey hoped that it was all right
hoped that it had come.
"Excuse my mentioning it." he paid,
"but you know we'll le needing it
pretty soon, and Td rather not sell the
garage till"
"Oh. that's all right." returned Matt
"It ought to be coming along soon, and
if it doesn't I'll telegraph. Don't you
worry about that." he added reassur
ingly. "It's one of those splendid jew
elry stores with diamond necklaces In
the window and Is good for a hundred
times the money."
Hut Victor's concern remained. He
had kept better tally on the dates than
Matt It was exactly twenty-four days
since the latter had written, a long
while surely. Victor asked for the re
ceipt and examined it closely. "That's
all right as far as it goes," he said,
handing it back with a relieved ex
pression, "though they don't have to
buy the ring if they don't want to or
change theinminds."
"If people like Snood & Ilargreaves
offered $3,500 for the ring it's pretty
sure to be worth it." replied Matt
"Even if they backed out we could
sell it somewhere else."
"Yes, that's true," said Victor, recov
ering his cheerfulness, "and maybe for
a letter price, considering you took the
first; bid they made. Depend upon it,
you-could have raised them a few hun
dred dollars."
Thy lingered awhile longer, talking
about the $3X commission Victor
hoped to get on a secondhand car and
a? to the advisability of taking $1,000
cash for the garage or a thousand
down and another thousand on a nine
months' note.
H
Terhaps Matt kept closer to tbe ve
randa that morning than usual, for It
ras-warm and sunny and likely to
tempt the presence of Mrs. Battane
with her rocking chair, her darning
and her Interminable tongue. For once
Matt was eager for Mrs. Sattane, and
when at length she appeared be was
very agreeable and friendly, drawing
up beside her. with his pipe, instead
of dropping off the end rail, as he ordi
narily wonld have done. ' After a few
false starts he got her on the subject
of the Marshalls, and, though as a nar
rator she was as uncertain as a rabbit
and apt to give conversational Jumps
In the most random directions. Matt
always contrived to bring her back
and running again in the way he
would have her go.
The general -when a young cavalry
officer, hardly Indeed more than a boy.
had made a runaway match with a
Miss Koenig of Philadelphia, who was
fo rich that people used to call her
Miss Kllmansegg. He had thereupop
gl ven ti p thearmy andtak en to law
Instead and from law had graduated
into politics and congress. After
seven or eight years his wife had died.
leaving him with two little boys, who
were now middle aged men. one
traveler and writer of some reputation
nd the other an Ironmaster on tbe
lakes, with a railroad of his own and
fleets of ships. The general had taken
his bereavement terribly to heart and
for awhile went all to pieces until his
friends made Interest for him and had
him appointed minister to some far
away and Insignificant post, more with
the Idea of benefiting him by the
change of scene than launching him
Into what was to be a distinguished
career. He rose rapidly, was constant
ly promoted and was one of the first
American ambassadors when that
grade was Inaugurated by President
McKinley.
In the meanwhile he had married
rlrv Irunor hie coeo&d xalfe ZnJXD V
years later In a carriage accident.
His daugnter, Christine, had narrowly
escaped the same fate, and for several
years had been a helpless invalid, no
body ever thinking she would be well
again. But at last she recovered, and
was aa strong as most girls, or strong
er, to judge from tbe daring way she
rode and her much talked of flights on
skis.
On the Spanish war breaking out,
Marshall had thrown diplomacy to the
winds, and returned to Connecticut to
help .organize the state's quota for the
national defense, receiving his com
mission as a brigadier general of vol
unteers, and earning much local re
nown by his energy . and patriotism
It was not his fault that the enrolled
citizens never saw a Spaniard, or
burned anything more deadly than
mosquito powder. The picnic stage
was hardly past before the war was
over and the general reappointed to
his former post. Since then he had
definitely retired, more on his daugh
ter's account than his own, it was
said, to let ber see something of her
own people, and marry In her own
land, his regard for courts and court
life being none of the best
He kept up three establishments
one In Washington, another at Bar
Harbor, and the third, Lis big. com
fortable old .colonial house at Fair
Oaks, about four miles out of Mana
swan moving from one to another as
the humor seized him. Fair Oaks was
his favorite, as he had owned it ever
since his first marriage, and had never
closed it. partly from sentiment and
partly from the political advantage of
preserving a roof tree in his native
state. lie was a Connecticut man.
and there was the proof of it for all
to see.
It was a very dragging afternoon for
Matt He was restless, could settle to
nothing, was both stirred and depress
ed at the prospect of his call at Fair
Oaks. He had dressed with such care
that he was afraid to sit down, or to
leave the porch lest his Immaculate
shoes might suffer, and was horribly
conscious of the crinkling nature of
his fresh white waistcoat No girl
could hare been in more of a tremor.
Periodically he went upstairs to look
at himself in the glass, to make sure
there was not a hair on the neck of
his coat to brush and brush and wor
ry again that his hands were bo large
and so sunburned..
Hold on there!" bo exclaimed. "Hold
on stop!"
He had ordered" a buggy for half past
l. a buerv and a man to drive it. for
he meant to take no chances of miss
ing his road. It came too early and
a used him renewed agitationin con-
Kequence-IT-quarter "of" an hour too
early, when, as a matter of fact, he
would not. dare to start before the
half hour giving him a whole fifteen
minutes, therefore, to be dawdled
through, with more crinkling of white
waistcoat and more risk to shoes and
a whole new access of that suffocating
feeling, .which he supposed to be
pleasure, but was in reality much near
er agony.
Punctually to the minute he took his
seat in the buggy and was Just start
lng when of a sudden he was hailed
rrom behind. The driver pulled up
and Matt turned to see an oldish man
In a silk hat, still breathless from run
ning, who bad evidently been exerting
himself to overtake them.
"Ilold on there!" he exclaimed.
"Hold on stop!" and, relaxing his
Dace, came op slowly on Matt's side
and steadied himself a moment with
his hand on the wheel. He was an im
portant looking personage, with
crisp, gray, pointed beard and heavy
lidded, penetrating eyes. His subdued
yet faultless costume suggested
Judge or a banker or some one of equal
standing certainly not one who was
accustomed to run or shout upon the
public highway or to hold on to buggy
wheels, to. recoverhl$bxeathv.
"I beg your pardon," he said in a de
cisive. arreWne sort of voice. "I am
looking for a gentleman named Brough
ton Mr. Matthew Broughton and ns
you somewhat conform to his descrlp
tlon and were driving from the house
to which I was directed"
"I am Mr. Broughton," Interrupted
Matt surprised, a trifle alarmed and
most of all impatient "What do you
want?"
"I've come a long way and on very
hurried notice to have an Interview
with you." explained the stranger, eat
ing at hlra fixedly, "a very important
interview, indeed, and you will oblige
me greatly by postponing this little ex
enrsion of yours and affording me your
undivided attention for half an hour.
In private," he added, with a glance at
Matt's companion. "I cannot be more
explicit here."
"I am sorry, but it'll have to wait."
said Matt "I haven't a minute to
spare. Please let go my wheel."
"But it can't wait!" exclaimed the
stranger- with indignant animation
Tou do not realize what.you're sayiug
or the Issue there is at stake, I simply
must insist Mr. Broughton yes, sir, I
must Insist"
"So must I," returned Mart angrily.
"Tell me what you want In two words
and I'll give you an answer in one
and let go my wheel."
Matt fully thought the stranger would
take fire at this, but be did not In
stead anxiety spread over his upturned
face.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"A short drive to ray a call." -"Then
let me take his place," plead
ed the stranger, indicating tbe driver.
"We can talk on the way and on the
way back. For God's sake, young man.
don't go on thwarting me like this!
can't tell you how pressing it all is.
how peremptory and urgent Only half
an hour if you knew what was at stake
you could not refuse half an hour."
Matt was thunderstruck. Such im
portunity was startling, yet he had not
a momeat to spare If he were to be on
time at Fair Oaks. Nothing should
come between him and Fair Oaks, and
the delay already incurred put him in
a fever. "Go on," he cried to the
driver, and with that tbe expostulating
gentleman was deserted in tbe middle
of the road, with his message still un
said and his arms waving madly after
the retreating carriage.
Matt was very much thrilled and
tantalized, but at last came to the
conclusion that he had been mistaken
for some one else. Nobody could want
to see him on a matter so secret that
it could not be divulged except in pri
vate. Though possibly and here was
an Idea he was again the victim of
those newspaper lies," the "Kanaka
king" and all the rest of it He put
his visitor out of his mind and settled
back to dream of Miss Marshall with
mingled torment and joy.
They passed through a stone gate
way of a massive and towering design
that reared its head like a mausoleum
in the lonely woods. The winding road
led through more, and was so narrow
that the trees met overhead and tbe
air turned chill in the defile below. It
was a very big place, the driver said
miles and miles of it and he flicked
his whip In the direction of unintel
ligible local landmarks. It hadn't been
worth taxes till the wood pulp busi
ness began, and now even the stump
age would bring all of $10 an acre.
A stroke of luck for the general.
wasn't it what with pulp getting
dearer every day though he just let
it lie like it was, and did nothing
Thousands and thousands of dollars in
wood pulp and stumpage, and as good
as money in the bank."
Matt suffered under these reflections;
it made him feel more of an Intruder
than, eyer poorprnmlof les account
Who was he to be driving through such
unnumbered acres of -wood pulp and
daring to lift his eyes, however tim
idly, to its owner's daughter? It em
phasized his presumption, and every
trc-e became' a new barrier, abhorrent
to look upon. It was in a very crushed
humor, indeed, that he approached the
lawns and shrubberies, the tortuous
brick walks and at last tbe house itself
a stately old colonial structure, with
that dignified frontage of classic white
columns so dear to our forefathers and
so expressive-of their lives and aspira
tions. Matt descended, dismissed the con
veyance with tbe thrifty intention of
walking home and turned to mount tbe
wide, high steps. He was greeted .at
the top by Miss Marshall, who seemed
to spring up from nowhere, smiling and
radiant and hewltchirg to lok at in
her boyish riding costume, Iler father j
apd hg.hfffl.jTit cot bark and, oh, so-j
afraid T that" KeTnlgbt have been made
to wait papa having met a long lost
lovely friend in a teuf-teuf and a ti
coat and wanting to remain tbe rest
the week to talk to her. But they mus
go right In, or papa would, be at the
muffins and disgracing himself. Papa
was terribly elemental about muffins.
Amid this laughing cordiality Matt
found himself being guided through a
lofty hallway, lined with books and
engravings, to a Targe, low ccllinged
room, where tbe old general, also in
riding dress, was standing before a log
fire and refraining In the most ex
emplary manner from any premature
onslaught on tbe tea table. This in
spite of the fact that it stood tempt
ingly near by, gleaming with old silver
and set about with red roses.
What were Matt's sensations ns he
sat beside Miss Marshall on the sofa,
balancing a teacup on his knee and
stealing little sldewlse looks at her?
The dismalest imaginable, it must be
confessed. She was prettier than he had
remembered her maddeningly pretty,
and every mark of her consideration
came as a fresh stab, as a fresh reali
sation of the gulf between them.
lie was constrained; he knew he was
not appearing at bis best; he seemed
to fe"l her fWiflces trvrn whlm out,
to overcome his awKwardness, to dis
play him to some advantage before
her father. But those old. profound
eyes were not to be deceived and had
the look of wondering at her trouble.
An ex-ambassador could rend a young
man like a book even while eating
muffins and Joking about tiger skin
ladies in teuf-teufs. It appeared that
n teuf-teuf was an automobile. Matt's
ignorance of the word seemed to stamp
him as a boor. What a misfortune he
had never heard of it before. lie
made an anxious note of it for future
occasions, and then it came over him
with despair that there would be no
future occasions. He would never see
Christine Marshall again. Thus altr
gcther daunted and depressed how
hard it was to affect liveliness, to talk
about the islands, to try to hide that
grinding sense of failure.
He hoped afterward that he had not
talked too much about the islands. It
was all he knew to talk about Canni
bals, fighting, pearl diving and the
shuddering, Moody business of the
bark Moroa things that people usually
liked to hear, especially from a sur
vivor of the last The general with a
big laugh called him Captain Othello
a sally that induced Chris to repeat
with a whimsical acceptance that made
Matt's heart beat: "That, it was
strange, most passing strange; 'twas
pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful" caus
ing him to flush' and feel very self-
conscious indeed, though thrilled, too,
as those fine eyes turned on him so
kindly and with such smiling signifi
cance, now little she realized their
havoc on a poor devil who, uthen and
there, could have knelt down, and ki.ss
ed the hem of her skirt with such
reverence and adoration that It would
have been an added rapture to la
elude a pair of trim, small riding boots
as well and tbe very bit of carpet on
which they stood. These thoughts
however, were not good for sustained
and conventional conversation. Such
as it was, it languished terribly at
times, and the general's mouth could
be seen to purse under his mustache
as though concealing yes a yawn.
Captain Othello grew bluer and blue
and more abstracted and constrained
until finally an unmistakable yawn
brought him to his feet

The Flame of Acetylene Light
Is Small and the Burner Peculiar
You have probably noticed
that a Pilot Country Home
Acetylene burner is shaped like
the letter "Y."
"- And, that the little gas open
ings in the arms of the burner
are only pin hole size.
So small they let out only
half of a cubic foot of Acetylene
iu an hour.
You might leave one of these
Akvlene burners open by ac
cxttf t all day and even then
am wouldn't be gas enough in
the air of the room to enable
you to set fire to it if you tried.
As a matter of fact, you
would have to leave the burner
open fully three days and nit-Ms
in a room twelve by fourteen, m-ith
windows and doors closed tight, before
there would be any tire or explosion
danger whatever.
And the chance of your leaving a
burner open that long is not worth
considering. The pungent odor of
the escaping gas would be certain to
attract attention in a few seconds.
Insurance Reports Say
f?'
That in a list of 10,000 recent fires
and accidents caused by i'ium nants,
9990 were charged to the misuse and
abuse of electricity, kerosene, gasoline
and city gas and only ten to the
tuisuie and abuse of Acetylene.
That's why the engineers of the
National Insurance Board have en
dorsed Acetylene. They say it's safer
than oil illuminants it is rapidly
displacing.
Comparing Country Home
Acetylene to its first cousin, city
gas, we find:
That a stand
ard city gas burn
er actually passes
over ten times
more gas ina given
time than a stand
ard Acetylene
burner.
That one hundred feet of
Acetylene actually gives more
light than a thousand feet of city
gas.
That you could sleep under an open,
unlighted Acetylene burner without
harm whereas escaping city gas would
put you out in short order.
This does not mean that the
twenty million people who use city gas
with safety and comfort are not
enjoying the greatest of K.J city
