CHAPTER III Continued.
His identity t Good heavens! they
eeem to know him already, since tho
old sinner had called him by name,
and still addresses him as Senor Jack.
Can it bo possible this is somo
shrewd, canny Scotch game to in
velglo him into a marriage that will
put him in tho power of a gang of
blackmailers?
Ho might even suspect such a thing
only for Howard's connection with it,
and his declaration that he had u
mortgago upon tho name of Jack
Travers.
At any rate there Is still a lapse of
tlmo before tho final round, and that
pamo powerless curiosity urges him
on ho may yet bo able to fathom tho
. amazing depths of this mystery.
Ho has aroused himself. Ho asks
questions so fashioned thnt they may
not betray his ignorance of the sub
ject, receiving in reply non-committal
explanations that only partially satis
fy him.
In tho midst of it all an explosion
threatens.
"Senor Jack," says tho rcmarkablo
host, who stands eyeing him from
head to foot In a critical manner, "I
bellovo you will make a wonderful hit
with the charming young lady, and
sho will not think the union so dis
agreeable as she feared. Pardon me,
but I had not dreamed from your de
scription that you were so dashing, so
very handsome."
It Is not often a man receives a
compliment from his own sex, and
Jack laughs in somo confusion, mean
while muttering under his breath:
"Well, I don't wonder tho old chap's
surprised if Howard gave a truthful
description of himself, since I've
known him to scare a coyote by smil
ing at It."
His strange host continues:
"TIier9 is one thing wo have for
gotten not that I suppose It matters
at all, but you will of courso remem
ber, Senor Jack, that it was agreed
between us you should prove your
identity when you came."
"Just so," remarks Jack, serenely,
wondering which Identity ho Is called
upon to produco tho evidence for, and
hardly ready to stand up and swear
he Is the genultio party whose arrival
has been so anxiously anticipated.
"Ahem! have you those letters with
you?" asks the other, suavely.
Letters! That reminds him Ah Sin
picked up a packet in the street after
tho wreck of tho Caledonian hansom.
Jack draws themout with a confident
air; ho Is now ready to believe For
tuno plays tho cards for him, since
everything seoras to fit as neatly as
though the ends were dovetailed by
an experienced joiner.
"Ah! tho last doubt Is thrown to
tho wind. Buenos! Wo shall be
merry. Last of all, Senor Jack, you
remember tho compact."
"Suppose you repeat It, to refresh
my memory," suggests the artful
Jack, using the brush on his curly
locks.
"Briefly, then, you havo agreed to
carry out your share of this business
for a third of tho spoils, which shall
be placed In your hands as soon as
wo securo possession, and all Is ar
ranged so that you need not fear bo
Ing cheated. On my part, because of
my Influence In tho matter, I receive
another third, or as much as I can
coax from my lovely ward. Tho
one point insisted on by her is hard
with you, senor."
"How so?" asks Jack, deeply in
terested. "You remember, I explained, and
you agreed to abldo by it. Otherwise
thero could havo been no wedding
hero to-night. It Is this that once
tho ceremony Is over, you part from
your wifo, and never seek to come
Bursts into a laugh.
Into her presence again except by
her own order."
Jack gives a llttlo whistle. Iteally
this affair gets more and more mys
terious, nnd yet, strango to say, tho
deeper the complications become, tho
firmer grows his grasp upon It.
"Woll, as you say, senor, whon ono
has promised it is settled, and I would
not go back on my word," ho remarks,
coolly.
You are all roady now, I believe."
"Roady?"
"To descend with mo to add tho
finishing stroko to this groat plan
which has been arranged between us

yoursolf tho husband of a moat
charming young lady. Follow me,
Senor Jack. Come, both of you; tho
bride may bo growing nnxlous," cries
tho other, waiting at tho top of tho
stairs.
Jack's hesitation is brief.
"Hang tho luck! I'm in for It, I
fear; but at tho last I shall make n
dash for the door. That refuge is
left. All I waltJbr Is ono peep at tho
bride, and then you'll seo Jack Trnv
ers make a record. Married! Oood
heavens! tho very thought paralyzes
me. Jack Travers married to-night!
Not unless "
He finishes tho muttered sentence
with n Knowing smllo of anticipation,
nnd hurries after tho beckoning old
gentleman; whllo Ah Sin, winking
wickedly at himself as ho passes tho
mirror, patters after the master.
"Ono moment, senor," Jack snys,
huskily, for the dramatic situation
begiti3 to tell upon him.
"What now." demnnds the other, a
llttlo testily.
. "A simple request. Beforo we en
ter allow mo ono gllmpso of tho
young woman to whom I am about
ahem to sacrifice my bachelor days. '
"That Is reasonable. 'iurn your
eyes yonder sho who is dressed In
white. Tell me, Senor Jack, saw you
ever a lovelier vision than that?"
And Jack Travers, looking, feels his
heart beat with tumultuous force
against Its prison walls fools his
whole frame thrill with an ecstasy ho
cannot explain. He draws a long
breath of resignation and to his guido
says :
"Lead on; do with mo what you
wish," while to himself ho whispers,
"Tho hand of fate is behind all. Why
should I hesltnte, when In this girl
who they Intend shnll be my wifo 1
seo tho original of tho photograph I
adore sweet Jessio Cameron?"
CHAPTER IV.
Merely a Business Arrangement.
In order thnt Jack's motives may
appear to havo at least some degreo
of saneness In tho eyes of tho reader,
it may bo well to lift tho curtain a
llttlo at the point of his appcaranco
In tho room, nnd explain briefly what
mission brings him to Edinburgh, nnd
how strangely the Fates havo under
taken to manage his case for him.
While Jack was wrestling with a
fickle fortune in tho silver mines of
Colorado, ho received word through a
firm of solicitors In London that a
most extraordinary event had occur
red in tho other branch of tho family,
which resulted in his being mado heir
to a tremendous English property over
In tho tight llttlo Island, besides tho
honored address of Squiro John Tra
vers. It chanced that Jack had mado a
rich strike in the mines at about tho
samo tlmo, so that ho was not very
eager to hurry across tho big pond
and claim his new inheritance.
Finally, however, having put his af
fairs in order, ho accompanied tho
lawyers to London.
There, for the first tlmo ho learned
of a peculiar codicil to tho will
through which ho was to como Into
possession of the vast estate of tho
Travers family.
The squiro's part of it was incon
testable, and that small portion ot
tho estate, about one-fifth, which had
been entailed, must como to him
through tho natural law of next-of-kin,
"but tho great balance, nn enormous
property, too, could only become his
own In case ho married a certain
young woman a distant relative of
tho testator, who cherished an affec
tion for her which affair must como
off within a year.
Jack laughed aloud in scorn at the
idea.
Ho give up his freedom and take
for his wifo a girl whom ho had never
seen bofore, In order to acquire cer
tain property! Ho would see tho law
yers in a very warm place, Indeed, be
foro ho dreamed of such a thing.
Finding expostulation vain from tho
monetary point, since this young
chap already possessed a fair fortune,
the shrewd lawyers of Chancery lano
changed their tactics.
They read him, and saw that, llko
moat Amei leans, ho was chivalrous
wherever womankind was concerned.
So they drew his attention to tho
will again, and showed him .that
should this marriage on which the tes
tator had set his heart as a means of
bringing the two transatlantic
branches of tho family together again
fail to be consummated, tho vast prop
erty was to pass into the hands of
tho Society for the Amelioration of
tho Condition of tho Hottentots.
Having fastened his attention hero,
they showed him over tho noble es
tate, and Jacft really was quite smit
ten with Us charms.
Then the lawyers explained to him
that in caso of his refusal to carry
out the conditions of tho will, tho
young woman would bo left penniless,
even though it wero not her fault tho
arrangement fell through.
Thus Jack was mado to boo what
depended on him, and how ungallant
U would bo on his part to forco this
state of poverty upon her.
Last of all, these shrewd logal gen
tlomeu gavo him a photograph of tho
girl.
That comploted tho matter. The
more he scannod tho picture of his
kinswoman, Josslo Camoron, tho deop
or grew his conviction that it was a
shamo for him to keep her out of that
beautiful property.
It ended in Jack making up his mind
that ho woqld accrotly seok tho pres
ence of Josslo Canwron, nnd If ho
found lior all that hor photograph
reemed to promise bo would nttompt
to win hor lovo under another imma,
His first step was to discover whero
tho young lady might bo found, and
without difficulty ho learned Bhe was
In Edinburgh.
It was Just when ho was starting
for that northern capital thnt tho
young American rccoived a mystorl
ous letter with tho postmark of Edin
burgh upon tho envelope.
Tho writer, who was undoubtedly a
woman, appealed to his lovo of fait
play declared that thero was a plol
on foot to out-general him, nnd thai
thoso engaged in it wero unscrupulous
In their designs, nnd finally bogged
him. If the letter should chanco tc
reach him through his solicitors, tc
meet tho writer beforo midnight ot
tho night of May 28, or, If not then
tho following night, at tho Old Tol
booth In tho Canongato of Edinburgh
"Will you shake hands with me?"
whon strango things would bo re
vealed. Jack puzzled over this mlsslvo
many timos. t
Ho was strongly tempted to ask tho
advice of his lawyers, but compro
mised by seeking a friend nnd laying
tho case beforo him, with tho result
that he left London for tho North on
tho morning of tho appointed day
with only the faithful Ah Sin for com
pany, and as a consequence wo iseo
tho twain seeking tho historic Bhades
of tho Cannongato when tho fateful
hour draws near.
So much for Buckingham.
His motives arc beyond reproach.
What share has Howard Spencer in
tho affair? That is tho puzzlo with
which Jack has been wrestling, and
of which ho now bclloves he sees the
solution clearly.
(To bo continued.)
SCHEME A SURE WINNER.
Youth's Plan Proved That rie Knew
the Feminine Character.
"I've got a scheme," said a sharp
featured young man, "that I think
will work llko a clock. I'm going to
put an ad. in tho papers asking wom
en to send their photographs and $2
and I'll tell them how to becomo beau
tiful." And how aro you going to mako
them beautiful!" asked a listener.
Don't havo to. I'l just send back
each photograph with a letter some
thing like this: Dear Madam Alter
seeing your photograph wo aro sur
prised that you deslro to becomo moro
beautiful than . you nlready are. It
sometimes seems that tho very ones
upon whom Nature bestows her great
est favors aro tho least thankful. Ono
so divinely endowed with such loveli
ness as you possess should bo con
tent. Although wo havo added to tho
beauty of such women as Lily Lang
try, Maxino Elliott and Lillian Russell,
our honor as gentlemen and our repu
tation as an old established firm com
pel us tn Inform you that you already
possess beauty far beyond Jio possi
bilities of our system.' "
But tho $2?" asked tho listenor.
Oh, I guess any homely woman
will pay $2 for such a letter."
He Figured It Out.
"I've got an 8-year-old boy at homo
that will mako either a metaphysi
cian or a detective I'm not sure
which," remnrked a lawyer, as ho
entered his office the other morning.
"Tho kid's just getting over an at
tack of measles, and has hard work
amusing hlmsolf. Ycstorday his moth
er and the nurso wero In tho room,
and ho spoko up all of a sudden,
much to tho embarrassment of his
mother:
"'Say, ma; I know how old nurso
Is.'
"His mother thought tho nurso
might be confused; but sho wasn't.
'"How do you know so much,
Willie?" Bho asked.
" 'Well, I asked you once how many
years you've beon nursing, and you
said five. Then whon you forgot that
I asked you how old you was wlfen
you went to the training school, and
you said elghtocn. Then, by and by,
I asked you how long you was in
school, and you said four years. Now

ty-seven ceo?' "

that Borkoloy, who wrote "Westward
tho Courso of Empire Takos its Way,"
landed at Newport on Jan. 23, 1729,
and that ho left Greenwich, England,
In a "protty large ship," as tho Now
England "Weokly Courier called it,
oarly In September, 1728. So that ho
took nearly flvo months to mako tho
