CHAPTER IX. Continued.
At nightfall they havo left tho other
astern, nnd the fleet greyhound seems
to rush over tho greon waters llko a
hungry hound In pursuit of a hare.
Now they near tho American coast
Thus far tho steamer has kept up to
Jack's expectations, and ho feels al
most positive of landing before the
others.
Ts luck will havo It, they run Into a
heavy fog and It becomes necessary
to slow down. This promises to bring
lclay that will ndd hours to what
ccmod to prcsago a record-breaking
passage.
Whitles aro heard one hoarse ono
ahead, whero some steamer Is plow
ing through the dense fog. As soon
as Travers learns this vessel Is going
In tho samo way as themselves he
smiles, confident that .t is tho ono ho
chases.
At length about noon the fog rise?
and discloses tho beach of Far Rock
away on Long Island. Jack's eye3 arc
fastened upon the steamer Just ahead,
and which they promise to pass about
Scotland Lightship.
It is tho Anchorla.
Tha Glasgow steamer might have
reached port first only for floundering
in tho fog.
When they pass her black hull
cheers aro given from lusty throats,
and returned with equal vim. Jack
scans tho passengers along her side,
and his heart gives a sudden bound
when through his field glasses ho dis
covers his wife!
Tho sensation Is one not easily for
gotten. Near her hovers Senor Itoblado and
Juanlta.
Tho latter talks with some gentle
man Jack cannot seo him well at
first, but when ho moves tho light
strikes his face, and Travers grinds
his teeth in sudden rage.
It Is Howard Spencer, a3 dashing as
ever, despite his smash-up in Edin
burgh. Why does ho follow them? Is it be
cause ho is n moth fluttering round
tho candlo? The American who has
just become an English squire and
forsaken all his rich inhoritanco to go
chasing after the girl who bears his
name, yet care not whether sho bo
wlfo or widow this man frowns, and
under his breath says dlro things
which ho may visit upon tho head of
the offender in case tho said Spencer
persists in forcing his attentions on
Jack Travers' wife.
Reaching quarantine first, the Teu
tonic is almost through a health ex
amination when tho other steamer
comes limping up, her machinery in
bad trim.
So Jack finds ample time after pass
ing tho customs ordeal to take a cab,
send Ah Sin to an hotel, and in an
other reach tho Anchor lino pier Jut
as tho Anchorla Is pushed Into her
berth by tho noisy llttlo tugs.
Ho screens himself from observation
and thus watches the descent of tho
passengers as they fall Into tho hands
of tho Inspectors.
Jack Is carcrul not to show himself;
It Is to his advantage to have Roblado
bcliovo his plan for detaining him In
Glasgow worked to a charm. Spencer
is not with tho party, ho having trou
bles of his own.
As ho stands there Jack recognizes
In one of tho Inspectors an old ac
quaintance, with whom ho once spent
happy days on the plains.
He learns that tho authorities l.avo
received word from abroad that some
party sailing on tho Anchorla is bring
ing over a vast quantity of precious
stones concealed somewhere about his
person or luggage, and as tho Informa
tion has been vague, they appear to

ers hi6 wife!
havo settled upon tho wretched don as
the culprit, and aro making life miser
able for him.
While the senor is raging up and
down and bicathlng out firo with every
swear word, Jack allows himsolf to bo
seen by tho rjrirl whom tho strangest
fato on record mado his wlfo in tho
good old city of Udinburgh.
Ho sees her sUrt and gazo at him
with dilated eyes, A3 though surprised
beyond measure. Sho turns and
speaks quickly to luv rompanlon, and
In a flash ho finds the black oyos of
tho littlo Cuban fastened upon him.
Then it is Jack puts a finger to his
lips to Indicate caution nnd silence.
He sees Juanlta's cxprcssivo nod, and
having accomplished all he desired,
fades away.

discovers an humble individual who
would pnss for a missionary to tho
Cannibal islnnds or nn nctor oft tho
boards. His attitudo Is that of a
second-rate tragedian on Inspection,
but tho twlnklo In his eye declares
the man possessed of Intense humor.
Jack knows him at Bight, and is In
tensely amused to seo him horo.
"Why, hello, Smlthers, my donr
man! Been a long tlmo turning up.
Heat you across tho big pond, you
see?" ho says, accepting tho gravely
extended hand of tho Scotland Yard
agent.
"I've been watching you for somo
time, Fir, and endeavoring to puzzlo It
out. You wer'o on tho Teutonic, I Im
agine. How did you como to miss my
note, and lenvo mo tho tnsk of deck
ing how far I was to follow these peo
ple?" Jack laughs and hastily sketches th
manner in which ho was so cleverly
detained, at hearing which the detect
ivo puckers up his mouth as though
to whistle.
"Come, tho old fellow has moro
shrewdness than I gavo him credit
for. Hut what aro your plans with
regard to mo, sir?"
"That wo can decide on later. 1
niny want to you to accompany mo to
Cuba."
"Cuba? That will seem natural
enough." returns Smlthers, quickly.
"You havo been there before, then?"
"Well, rather. Spent somo years In
Havana."
"Good! I seo wo can arrange it
nicely that Is, If you havo no objec
tions to returning Miere7"
"Well, 1 don't hanker after It, truth
to tell; but business Is business. If
you want mo wo can arrange It."
They aro close enough when the dor

having given tho wide-awake Jehu or
ders to keep tho first vehicle In sight.
Senor Roblado Is attempting no llt
tlo game, but brings up Bnfoly at tho
hotel, whero his trunks also arrive, In
doubtless a condition that makes him
moro than ever tho inveterate foo of
tho Yankee.
Thus tho translation from tho Old
to the New World has been effected.
Thcro is something connected with
this hasty trip of Don Roblado to Ha
vana that Jack docs not profess to
understand something that is tinged
with mystery in Its way, and which
excites his curiosity not a little.
When ho talks over the matter
with Smlthers, whom ho has taken
fully Into his confidence, tho latter
agrees with him that Roblado is a
queer customer, and that before they
aro tlnough with him they will very
likely discover ho has a deep object
in all that ho docs.
It would appear moro natural for
the senor to havo remained in Great
Drltaln until his claim In behalf of his
ward's third of tho heritage was put
through, instead of leaving it in the
hands of lawyers, and posting off in
such hot haste for tho other side of
tho Atlantic.
And hardly has ho settled his part;
comfoitably In a New York hotel tlinn
tho Indefatigable Job Smlthers follows
him to tho office of a coastwise steam
ship company, where Roblado secures
accommodation for the next voyage
Undoubtedly ho has reasons for
bringing up in Havana with the least
possible delay.
At first It appears as though they
will have to go by the samo boat,
which makes tho chances of discovery
very great; but wise Jack, after an
Investigation, finds a way of reaching
Havana ahead of the party, after see
ing them off, by means of the train to
Tampa, Florida, and then taking the
little steamer Mascot over to Cuba, a
voyage of about twenty four hours.
Twenty times a day Travers growb
at tho accursed fato which keeps him
from entering the lists and striving to
win thnt girl's heart. Poor follow, he
little suspects how much ho has been
In Jessie's mind over since his gen
erous nction In Edinburgh, and that
Fato is so shaping events as to bring
their life-lines together again, this
time never moro to part.
He has somo satisfaction in discov
ering that whllo Jessie treats Spencer
with respect, there Is a coldness In
her manner not at all promising to tho
success of tho other's suit.
Tho more ho hecs of her from a dis
tance, of course, since ho does not
wish to annoy her or betray his pres
ence to either of tho men tho greater
becomes Jack's enthusiasm, and the
stronger his resolution to loavo no
stono unturned In tho endeavor to carry
tho citadel of her heart.
Then comes their flitting.
Smlthers has done his duty faith
fully, and clung upon tho trail of the
senor with a persistency that Jack can
not but commend.
Ho has not fully comprehended all
tho mysterious actions of Sonor Ro
blado in New York, and reports sev
eral meetings which tho other attend
ed whero such extreme caro was taken
that even a cunuing follow llko Smlth
ers had not been able to tvorhear
what was said.
When Jack presses him for his opin
ion, Job declares it as his belief that
tho Spaniard Is concerned in somo po
litical Intrigue possibly In leaguo
with tho rebels of Cuba, nnd that his
secret mission In New York has to do
with tho Cuban Junta at their head
quarters. "Wall, Miey're off," says Trnvors,
rather gloomily, as ho stands on tho
pier nnd setv tho stenmor movjng to
ward tho upper bay.
Ho has boon looking through his
mnrluo glasses, but although tho tall,
arrogant Hguro of Roblado Is readily
dlscorncd, the ono ho seeks is not In
sight.
Thnt Is what gives him a fit of tho
blues. Jack Is not at nil the samo fel
low ns of yoro, for when onco that
burning feeling creeps Into a chap's
heart, good-by to his pence of mind
and tho bonhomie ways that formerly
mado him tho best-liked of men; nnd
tho thought thnt renders him moody
now Is tho possibility of her being in
tho cabin of tho steamer In conversa
tion with tho dotcsted Spencer.
"I should have thrown him into a
duck pond, or clipped his wings in
somo way," is tho rather vicious
thought that Intrudes upon his mind.
Tho dny of reckoning will como
sooner or Inter, nnd may dlschargo
this doht.
Smlthers presently Joins him.

"When shall wo start, sir?" asks tho
agent.
"To-night's train will bear us south.

York. Did you seo shout our pass
ports this morning, Job?" replies Jack.
"I had no troublo there, sir. In thirty-six
hours wo will bo In Tampa,
ready for our llttlo voyage," replies
Smlthers.
And what ho says comes to pass.

QUEEN BEES WORTH MONEY.
As Much as $200 Paid for Some Bred
by Italian Farmers.
Just ns thcro aro valuable strains In
horses, cattlo and other stock, so
there aro varieties' of queen bees
which aro worth many hundred times
their woight In gold. Tho most valu
able strain is the Italian and many
Italian boo farmers demnnd nnd re
ccivo without question prices ranging
from $50 to $200 for a single queen
bee of a certain kind. Such bees aro
sent all over tho world. The owner of
a beo farm near Ottawa, Canada, goes
to Europe annually and brings back
with him bees of an nggregato valuo
of thousands of pounds. Ho is en
abled througlu the agency of an Italian
firm to effect an Insurnnco upon tho
most valuable of his queens.
Tills beo farmer has many strango
experiences in connection with tho
assistants ho is obliged to engage. Of
course all beekeepers must submit to a
certain amount of stinging. Dut in
somo cases tho poison in tho sting
acts directly upon tho assistants and
makes them alarmingly HI. Others
aro immuno, though slung hundreds
of times. Beo larmers aro often ap
plied to by persons suffering from
rheumntlsm, who wish to placo them
Eclves In tho wny of being stung. And,
strango ns it may seem, tho virus of
tho beo stlng docs often act as a euro
to persons suffering from serious at
tacks of rheumatism.
Homes of Millionaires.
Pasadena, in California, says tho
Sunset Magazine, has moro million
aires per capita than any other town
in tho country. Comparing census and
assessment rolls, it shows about ono
millionaire to every 400 people mil
lionaires who own residences there
nnd who llvo in them enough of tho
year to claim them ns homes. Of
transient millionaires who come thcro
year after year, for a month perhaps,
or threo months, there are fully as
many more, all glad to exchango a
despondont mercury for a whiff of
orango blossoms and a lungful of
balmy air. As a home of millionaires
a place whero millions aro enjoyed,
not earned Pasadena is llko tho liv
ing room of a house, whero tho work
and cares of tho day glvo way to ease
and comfort. Horo men como be

worry" of Wall street, the nolso and

can forget tho caro of great enter

spirit of commercialism wanes under

soft, semi-tropic air.

Tho girl had caught him red-handed,
slipping Into their horso stablo; nnd
during tho past week they had lost
three at their best animals. But tho
prisoner was Importurbnblo, oven
when in the first excitement of discov
ery sho had fired a bullet across his
shoulder as n warning to accept tho
capturo without protest. Ho had
turned calmly, but with an odd look
of nmnzement In his eyes; nnd ns ho
raised his hat with his left hand
nnd tried to sny something about wan
dering Into tho valley by accident, sho
hnd cut him short, with a curt, "Movo
on ahead thore, nnd don't attempt to
touch your weapons."
"If you will excuso mo, miss," ho
observed quietly, after they had cov
ered half tho dlstanco to tho house,
"Isn't it rather odd to build such a
home nn yours In so wild a placo? I
did not supposo there was evon a log
cabin within a hundred mllcB."
"My fathor likes tho location," tho
girl said coldly, "and so do I. Hero
wo aro now that Is my father on tho
piazza."
As she spoke they passed from be
hind a hedge of transplanted Now
England barberry bushes, brilliant
with their scnrlct clusters of seedy
fruit, directly In front of tho entrance.
Her father had half risen nnd was
looking down nt them Inquiringly.
"This Is a man I caught In our
horse stable, father," tho girl ex
plained. "Ho says ho was looking In
out of curiosity, but I bcliovo ho Is
tho thief who has been taking our
horses. You can talk with him
though, nnd find out. Watch him
closely, for ho's armed. will go
round to tho kitchen nnd seo If tho

As she disappeared In tho house tho
strnnger turned away to hldo a emllo.
Thoso pcoplo were not very experi

"You will excuse my not rising, sir,"
tho host was saying courteously, "but
unfortunately I am at present a llttlo
Indisposed. Plcaso step up on tho
piazza and take that chair. Placo tho
books upon tho table."
Thcro wcro several small tables on
tho piazza and a number of chairs, and
tables and chairs wcro all occupied
by books. Tho prisoner went to tho
chair Indicated and removed tho books
to the table at the man's elbow. As
ho did so ho gnzed at tho thin, smoothly-shaven
face with a puzzled look
that was half recognition.
But tho keen, quizzical oyes wcro

and as ho sat down ho had a feeling
that ho was back at collego and his
professor was probing him for tho
truth of some misdemeanor. Soon,
however, tho man's faco cleared nnd
tho searching eyes lost their look of
fixed inquiry.
"You nro blamoless, sir," tho Incls

"Yes. Do you know him?"

Phillpps put out his left hand some

"Really, It doesn't matter In tho
least," Interposed Phillips hastily. "I
would much rather not hnvo it looked

But tho professor paid him not tho
least attention. When his daughter
appeared ho nodded toward Phillips'
right arm.
"Wounded," he Fjnld, "and from tho
looks of that round holo In his coat

That kind of cloth does not show

not alluding to It Mary, you must
cut the slccvo away at onco and at

Tho girl's face had grown whlto
with sudden comprehension. She
went quickly to Phillips, her gazo
steady nnd direct.
"What is it?" she domanded.
But Phillips' was equally steady, and
in his eyes was an Impervious request
for sllonce. And sho understood.
"It Is nothing but what is liable to

assure you it is not worth a moraont's
