"By tho way, tlcar kins," I Bald, as
suming a casual manner, "do you hap
pen to havo a fion?"
"No I" ho answered, "Calypso is my
only child."
"Very Htrnngol" I Bald, "we met a
whimsical lad In our travels whom I
would Imvo sworn was her brother."
"That's odd l" said tho "king" Iropcr
turhahly, "but no! I have no eon;"
and ho seemed to suy It with a certain
Badness.
Then Calypso camo In to Join my
audience, having, meanwhile, taken
tho opportunity of twining n scarlet
hibiscus among her luxuriant dark
curls. I should certainly havo toftl tho
Btory better without her, yet I was
glad how glad I to havo her seat
ed there, an attentive prcsenco In a
slmplo gown, white ns tho sea foam
from which, there was no furthor
doubt In my mind, sho had magically
epruug.
I gave them tho whole Btory, much
as I had told it in John Saunders'
Bnuggery John P. Tobias, Jr.; dear
old Tom aud his sucking flsh, his
ghosts, sharks, skeletons, and all; aud
when 1 had finished, I found that tho
interest of my story was onco more
chlclly centered In ray pock-mnrked
friend of "tho wonderful works of
God."
"I should lllto to meet your pock
marked friend," said King Alclnous,
"and I huvo a notion that, with you as
n halt, 1 shall not long ho denied tho
pleasure."
"I am Inclined to think that I hnvo
seen him already," said Calypso, using
her honey-golden volco for tho baso
purposo of mentioning him.
"Impossible!" I cried; "ho is long
since safo In Nassau jail.
"Oh, not lately," sho answered to
our lnterrogutlvo surprise, and giving
a swift embarrassed look at her fa
ther, which I at onco connected with
tho secret of tho doubloons.
"Seriously, Calypso?" asked her fa-,
Alter, with a certain stern affection, as
thinking of her safety. "On one of
your errnnds to town?"
i ..And then, turning to mo, ho said:
I "'Sir Ulysses, you havo spoken well,
and your speech linn been that freo,
open-hearted speech that wins its way
alike among tho Hyperboreans that
dwell In frozen twilight near tho
northern star, and thoso dwarfed und
mvarthy intelligences that blacken in
tlm lleroo Bunllght of that fearful nxlo
we call tho equator. Therefore, I will
mako return to you of speech no less
irnuk and truo ..."
Ho took a puff at his cigar, und then
continued:
"I should not risk Uls confession,
but that it is easy to see thot you bo-
long to tho raco of Etornal Children,
to which, you may havo realized, my
daughter and I also belong. This ad
venture of yours after burled treasure
has not seriously been for tho dou
bloons and pieces of eight, tho million
dollars, aud this million nnd n half dol
Inrs themselves, but for the fun of going
after them, sailing tho unknown seas,
coral Islands, and all that sort of
blessed moonshine. Well, Calypso and
I aro Just llko that, und I am going to
tell you somothlng exciting wo too
havo our burled treasure. It Is noth
ing like bo -magnificent In amount as
yours, or your Henry P. Tobias' and
whero it is at this particular moment
I know A3 Uttlo as yourself. In fact it
is Calypso'B secret . . ."
I 'looked across at Calypso, but her
eyes wero far boyond capture, In un
plummeted seas.
"I will show you presently whero I
found It; among tho rocks near by
now a haunt of wild bees,
"Can you over forget that passage In
tho Gejarglcs? It, makes tho honey
taato uvwetor to mo every tlmo I tusto
it. Wo must havo some of It for din
ner, by tho way, Calypso."
I could not help laughing, nnd ho,
for a moment, breaking up tho story.
Tho dear fellow I Was thero auy busi
ness of human Importance from which
ho could not bo diverted by u quotation
from Ilomer or Virgil or Shakespoaro?
But bo was soon in tho saddle again.
"WeU," he. resumed, "ono day, uomo
seven years ago, In a little cave below
the ottttujo trees, grubbing about as I
am feai of doing, I camo upon a beau
tiful old box of beaten copper, eunk

was atroog, but it seemed too dainty

sho docs especially for tho guardian

flashed its bewildering dnzzlo upon us,
we, being poor folk, wero not more
dazzled than nfrnld. For ftko tho

CHAPTER IV.
In Which tho "King" Dreams a Dream
and Tells Us About It
The afternoon, under tho spell of Its
various magic, had been passing all too
swiftly, nnd at length I grew reluctant
ly nwnre that it was time for me to go.
King Alclnous raised his hand with n
gesture that could not well be denied.
That led me his invitation being ac
cepted without further parley to
mention the idea I had conceived ns I
camo nlong, of exploring thoso curious
old mined buildings.
"Tomorrow," he announced, "tomor
row wo shall begin there Is not a mo
ment to lone. Wo will send 'Samson
with a message to your captain there
Is no need for you to go yourself; time
Is too precious and in n week, who
knows hut that Monte Crlsto shall
seem like a pauper and a penny gaff
In comparison with thp fantasies of
our fearful wealth.
So, for that evening, nil wob laugh
ingly decided. In n week's time, It
was agreed, wo should have difficulty
In recognizing each other. We should
be so disguised In cloth of gold, nnd so
blinding to look upon with rings and
ropes of jicnrls.
When we met nt breakfast next
morning, glad to see ono another ugaln
as few people are at breakfast, it was
evident that, ns far as the "king" was
concerned, our dream had lost nothing
In tho night watches. On tho contrary,
Its wings had grown to an amazing
span nnd iridescence.
Calypso, It transpired, had certain
household matters of which theiN
"king" of course was ever divinely ob
livious that would take her on nn
errand Into tho town. Thoso disposed
of, wo two eternal children were nt
liberty to be ns foolish as we pleased.
Tho "king" bowed ills uncrowned
head, ns kings, from time immemorial
havo bowed their diadems before the
quiet command of the domesticities;
and it was nrranged that I should be
Calypso's escort cm her errand.
So wo set forth In the freshness of
tho morning, nnd tho woods thnt had
been so bluck and bewildering nt my
coming opened befpre us In easy
paths, und all that' tropical squalor
that had been foul with sweat nnd in
sects seemed strangely vernal to me,
so that I could hardly believe that I
had trodden thnt way before. And for
our companion nil tho way along or,
ut lenst for my other companion wns
tho Wonder of tho World, the beauti
ful strangeness of living, nnd that mnr
vel of n man's days upon the earth
which lies In not knowing what a day
shall bring forth, if only wo have u
little patlenco with Time Time, with
those gold keys at his girdle, ready, at
any turn of tho ways, to unlock tho
hidden treasure that is to be the mean
ing of our lives.
How should I try to express what it
was to walk by her Bide, knowing all
that wo both know? knowing, or gid
dily believing that I know, how her
heart, with every breath sho took, vi
brated llko a living flower, with waves
of color, changing from moment to
moment like n happy, trembling dawn.
To know yethot to say I Yes I we were
both at that dlvlno moment which
hangs like a dowdrop in tho morning
sun ah! all too rendy to fall. Ohl
keep it poised, in that miraculous bal
ance, 'twlxt tlmo and eternity for
this crystnl raado of light nnd dew is
tho ineunlng of the llfo of man and
woman upon the earth. ,
As we camo to the borders of tho
wood near the edgo of tho little town
wo called a counsel of two. As the out
como of it we concluded that,, having
in mind the "king's" ambitious plans
for our cloth-of-gold future, and for
other obvious reasons, it was better
that she went into the town nlone
I to await her in tho shadow of the
mahogany tree.
As she turned to leave mo sho drew
up from her bosom a Uttlo bag that
hung by a silver chain, nnd opening it
drow out, with n laugh u golden
doubloon 1
I sprang toward her; but sho was
too quick for me, and laughingly van
ished through an opening in the trees.
I was not to kiss her that day.
Calypso wns bo long coming back
that I begun to grow anxious was, in
deed, on tho point of going down into
tho town in search of her, when Bho
suddenly appeared, ruther out of
breath nnd evidently a Uttlo excited
as though, In fact, she had been run
ning away from something. Sho
caught mo by tho arm with u laugh.
'Do you want to eeo your friend
Tobias?" sho said.
"Tobias? Impossible l"
'Como here," and sho led mo n yard
or two buck tho way sho had come,
audfthen looked through tho trees.
"Gone I" Bho said, "but he was thero
u minute or two ugo or nt least some
one that Is his photograph and of
course he's thero yet, hidden In tho
brush, and probably got ills eyes on
us all tho time. Did you see that
seven-year applo tree move?"
"Ills favorite tree." I laughed.
"Hardly strong enough to hang him
on, though." And I realized that she
was King Alclnous' daughter.
Wo crouched lower for a moment or
two but tho seven-year npplo tree
dld'nt move again, and wo agreed
that there was no uso lu waiting for
Tobias to show his hand.
"But what mado you think it was
Tobias?" I asked, "nnd how did it all
happen?"
"I could hardly fall to recognlzo him
from your flattering description," sho
answered, "nnd indeed it nil happened
rather llko another experience of
mine. I had gono into Swecnoy's
store you remember? and was Just
paying my bill."
'In tho usuul coinage?" 1 ventuied
Sho gave me a long, whimsical
smile once more her father's daugh
ter! "That, I'm afraid, was tho trouble,"
sho answered; "for as I laid my money
down on tho counter I suddenly no
ticed that there wns a person at the
hack of the store,"
,(A person?" I interrupted.
"Yes I Suppose we say 'n pock
marked person ;' wns It you?"
"What a memory you havo for do
talls," I parried; "and then?"
"Weill I took my chongo and man
aged to whisper a word to Sweeney
n good friend, remember and camo
out. I took n short cut hack, but the
'person! that had stood In tho back of
the store seemed to know tho way
almost better thun I so well that he
got ahead of me. He was walking qui
etly this way nnd bo slowly that I hnd
at last to overtake him. Ho said noth
ing, Just watched me as If Interested
In the wny I was going but, I'm
nshamed to say, he rather frightened
met And hero I am."
"Well, then," I said, "lot's hurry
homo and talk it 6vcr with tho 'king.' "
Tho "king," ns I hnd realized, wns
a practical "romantic" and nt once
took tho matter seriously, leaving

Little Bag That Hung by a Sliver
Chain, and, Opening It, Drew Out,

as might have surprised some of thoso
who had only heard him talk his con
versational fantasies on the theme to
como later.
Calypso, however, had the first
word.
"I always told you, dad," she said
and the word "dad" on tho lips of that
statuesque girl who always seemed
ready to tuke that inspired .frame
work of rags and bones nnd talking
music Into her protecting arms
seemed quite the quaintest of para
doxes "I always told you, dad, what
would heppen, with your fairy tales of
tho doubloons."
"Quito true, my dear," ho answered,
"but isn't n fairy tale worth paying
for? worth a little trouble? And re
member, If you will allow me, two
things about fairy tales: there must
always be somo evil fairy in them,
some dragon or such .like; and there
Is always a happy ending. Now the
dragon enters at last In the form of
Tobias; and wo should bo happy on
that very account. It shows that the
rnco of dragons Is not, ns I feared, ex
tinct. And ns for the happy ending,
we will nrrunge it, after lunch for
which, by the way, you aro somewhat
late."
After lunch tho "king" resumed, but
in n brief and entirely practical vein:
"Wo nro about to bo besieged," ho
said. "The woods, probubly, aro al
ready thick with spies. For the mo
ment wo must suspend operations on
our Golconda" his name for tho ru
ins that we wero to excavate "and,
ns our present purpose yours no
less than ours, friend Ulysses is
to confuse Tobias, my suggestion Is
this: thnt you walk with mo a mile
or two to tho nor'ard. Thero Is an
entertaining mangrove swamp I should
like to show you, and also you can
give me your opinion of un idea of
mine that you will understand all tho
better when I havo taken you over tho
ground."
So wo walked beyond tho pines,
down onto a long, lnterralnublo flat
land of marl marshes and mangrove
trees so llko that In which Charllo
Webster had shot tho snnko nnd tho
wild duck that only Charllo could
havo seen any difference.
"Now," said tho "king," "do you see
n sort of river there, overgrown with
mangroves and palmettos?
"Yes," I answered, "utmost
though It's bo choked up it's ulmost
impossible to say."
"Well," said tho "king," "that's the
Idea; you haven't forgotten thoso old
ruins 'wo are going to explore. You
remember how choked up they arc.
Well, this was tho covered waterway,
tho secret crcok, by which tho pi
rates John Teach, or whoever it was;
perhaps John P. Tobias himself
used to land their loot. It's so over
grown nowadays that no ono can find
tho cutrnnco but myself and a friend
or two; do you understand?''
We walked n Uttlo farther, and then
nt length camo to tho bank of the
creek tho "king" had indicated. Thlk.

PLAN WELL BEFORE BUILDING
Failure to Do That Is the Most Fre
quent Cause for Investment
Being a Failure.
Nothing gives n keener zest to thrift
than saving to own m home. Our
thrifty foreign-bom citizens, ns well
us mnny of our nntlve-born, are homo
owners. The home-owitlng spirit Is
commendnble. A city of homo owners
Is a stable city. A city of renters Is
npt to bo shifting nnd transient.
If you lose money In owning a home
It Is usually nttrlbutublo to one of , the
following causes:
"You Invest In a home too expensive
for your Income. '
"You pny more for It than Its loca
tion nnd crtst of construction Justify,
letting the other fellow gobble the
profits while you accept the loss.
"You are a poor Judge of location
values nifd get into a location where
there Is little or no demnnd for prop
erty or where values are decreasing.
"You construct a home devoid of
conveniences, grotesque in nppenrance,
or out of the ordinary and of n type
thnt few people would desire.
"You neglect Uttlo essentials, such
US closet room, sunlight, location of I
stnlrwnys and other things. While I
you may think It mntters little, nine I
to them. Think of building a home In
a city where sunshine is pleasant
eleven months of the yenr and then of
placing the stairway to the south,
cutting out nil tho sunshine, while the
windows are placed at the north. Such
Is sometimes done. The owner then
will wonder why so few deslrejo buy

clear." Prom "Ten Lessons In Thrift,"

HAVE EYE TO CITY'S FUTURE
Intelligent Building Plans Mean Much
to Its Development and Proper
Growth.
Slums aro not tho product of n city's
Inevitability. They are tho product of '
its stupidity, of Its Indifference. lack of
perception nnd thought. A great mass '
of people cannot live together as four
families might live nt a country cross
roads. Their Interdependence de-'
mnnds nn assumption of responsibility
by the people who can do things for1
the people who cannot.
A real home will be one In which
there Is a recognition of responsibility ,
by the people who might do things for
tho people who cannot. i
Life has n right to comfort and ran-
tcrlal competence; It has a right to j
color and decoration; it has a right to
una itseir interesting, it cannot pro-1
ceed by the suppression of everything
that Is alluring and by failure to sup
press what Is squalid.
A home fit for Ideal citizens will have
healthy allure and beauty, cleanliness,
convenience and comfort, clean nlr,
clean streets, decent street cars, no
slums, plenty of amusements.
Roads and Trees.
The American Forestry association
Is doing good service In linking the'
ennses of roads and forestntlon. It
has already given ndvlce and aid In
setting out shade trees nlong the high
way In scores of cities nnd towns
throughout the country. The trees are
Intended to be memorials of our sol
diers who died In France nnd to their
comrades wlio have come home bear

Something more is Invotved than a
sentiment. The besj friend of a road,

Extremes of temperature, such as come
qn n blazing summer day with a down
pour of cooling rain, heave nnd crack
tho unshnded roadbed, opening It to
the ultmnte ravages of frost and thaw.
Tho shaded road lasts longer nndf
brings a double comfort to the trav
eler. Tho war has taught us what
this may mean, financially nnd other
wise. Before 1014, according to Rob
ert Sterling Ynrd's "Rook of Nntlonnl
Parks." Americans spent $230,000,000
annually In foreign travel, mainly In

Real estate Is a profession covering
