CHAPTER III.
In Which Opportunity Comes,
A period of decided depression fol
lowed, tho enrller vision of youth fa
ding swiftly as I realized what tho
mossago of this card plainly meant,
and contemplated tho social gulf
yawning botwoon myself nnd this
woman of tho English aristocracy. A
cat may look at a king, and a South
American adveuturor might venture to
gaze admiringly upon this beautiful
gontlowoman, yet vaulting ambition
should have a caro lest it o'erloap
ltnolf. Oh, woll, it was not much I had
to ovorcomo moroly an Improsslon, a
fugltlvo admiration which would early
perish, for It was hardly probablo wo
should over moot again, In splto of hla
lordship's stiff Invitation, and her ex
ceeding warm glanco secretly sec
onding it
I smiled grimly at thought of so in
snno a dream of lovo at such n time
and placo. Hero was I, alono, unable
to change my environment, ovory
movement bringing now danger, al
most certain of early detection, tho
rosult Imprisonment or death; yet
turning asldo to quarrel with one only
too glad to donounco me should he dis
cover tho truth, and totally forgottlng
ovory caution in sudden admiration for
a girl never seon before, probably
novor to be seen again. But n smllo
can leave a deeper wound than a
sword, and my mind would recur, In
splto of othor intorovcnlng thoughts,
to tho pleasant mystery bohiud her
gracious words and action. I was thus
lingering over the nuts and wine,
dreaming a fool's dream, and idly won
dering at tho cause of that endless
racket In tho streots below, with tho
chorus of vivas arising from tho
crowded plaza, when the open win
dow facing my table becamo suddenly
darkened by a burly figure. Botore
I could push back my chair, tho. unwel
come lntrtidor on my privacy was po
litely bowing beforo me, ono hand
prossod upon his hoart.
"Pardon, sonor, my so abrupt ap
pearanco" and I gazod curiously Into
a round bronzed fnco, guarded by
olosoly clipped sldo-whlskors, and il
lumined by steady black oyes "but
tho waiter said I should cortnlnly find
you nlono horo, and my need was most
urgent. I address tho Sonor West?"
It was tho namo I bad assumed, and,
with closoly pressed lips, I bowed In
silent acknowledgment of my Identity,
feeling Uttlo doubt nbuut tho man's
mlasloin Tho round, rathor compla
cent faco broke Into a gonial smllo of
rollfo.
"Must fortunate I am thus to dis
cover you with Buch facility," he con
tinued fluently, using both hands In
gesticulation, "Senor, It Is now a
great favor I would ask. Could you
yield mo tho honor of a prlvato Inter
view In my oWn room?" pointing up
ward Impressively. "It Is upon the
floor above."
"If youY mission is in regard to tho
Sanchez affair, sonor," I returned
somewhat coldly, "privacy Is hardly
nocossnry. Tho preliminary details
can all bo arrangod hero,"
Ho gazed at mo In surprlso, rub
bing his hands together swiftly.
"Tho Sanchez afllalrl I know not as
to that, sehor. Tho matter on which
I como 1b most dellcnto, most secret;
It Is not for other cars. 'Tls bocauso
of what I would communicate that 1
seek prlvato audience"
I remained motionless, looking
straight at him, my teeth clonched on
my cigar, my mind busy with expedi
ents. It his call had nothing whatever
to do with my quarrel with Sanchez, It
must be an arrest, Yet why was tho
follow so mystorlous? What did ho
require of mo In private audience? Aht
a bribe, probably he doslred to loam
first what amount I would give for
an opportunity to escape. I aroso to
my feet, tha wholo affair settled with
In my own mind, and cool'. enough to
tako advantage of ovory opening thus
presented.
"Very wol, senor; load tho way
and I will follow."
"nuenil" Ho laid one hand upon
my shoulder, hla eyes darkontug with
dollght. "You have tho courngo, senor,
the audacity of tho bravo soul. 'Tls
In tho face, tho eye, nnd gives mo
hope of my mission already, Wo will
go. by tha outslda stairway, so aa to be
unobserved by those within."
I followed him silently up the steep
Iron steps and along the nurrow, dim
ly lighted hall. Ho paused finally, un
locking a' door, and slood politely
usldo white I entered. A uiomont he
lingered outfildo, poe.rlug suspiciously

and, stepping within, closed and bolted!
tho door, even carefully loworlng tho
transom beforo turning up the gas
lights. Ho hastily crossed tho room,
shut down tho slnglo window, and drew
closor tho heavy shade. I watched
theso ovldonccs of oxccsslvo caution
with considernblo amusomont un
doubtedly bribery of tho Valparaiso
socret pollco was considered a most
sorlous affair. A tnblo occupied tho
contor of tho room, and with a wavo
of his rathor fat hand my mysterious
companion invited me to occupy a.
chair bcsldo it Tho perplexity exhib
ited by his troubled faco caused me to.
smllo ncain.
"So, sonor, to you it was all fun," he
Bald, gravely, gesticulating with vigor.
"But I apprcclato tho danger, tho
peril of discovery. Evorywhoro lurk'
the spies, and what I havo to say is
not for other oars, Sonor, I havo ad-,
drossed you as tho Senor West, for
so I was bidden; but tho man I really
seek Is not in truth of nny such name,"
his voice sinking to the merest whis
per, as ho leaned Impressively toward
mo across tho table. . "It Is Senon
Estovan."
I crossed my legs In apparently care-,
loss lndlfforonco, my fingers resting on
tho butt of tho rovolvor in my pocket,
undecided yot whether this was to ho
war or poaco, but proparcd for a bold
play In either case.
"I am Jack Stophons; soyou may
proceed, senor."
"Ah! 'Tls na I was told!" his faco
brightening Instantly, his hands del
ving within an Insldo pocket of his
coat. "This card boo; it 13 wrltton In
tho English it will tell you It I be
trusted, if I bo all right. You know
tho handwriting, sonor, tho man who
wrote it?"
I accoptod tho bit of pasteboard
curiously. It was tho business card
of a woll-known sugar firm, and I ran
my oyes hastily ovor the few linos
dimly traced on tho back: "Doaror is
all he represents hlmsolt to be; you
may do business with him safely. O,
P. L." I glanced upward at the anx
ious face of tho man opposite; ho was
evidently tingling with excitement.
"You know him, sonor? You know
tho handwriting? You believe him?
What Is it ho says? I read not tho
English."
"Yos; wo are acquainted. He la
Georgo Lorlng, a friend of mine. He
says you are what you reprosont your
self to bo, and that I may transact
business with you In perfect safoty.
Now, then, what aro you an agent of
tho police?"
Ho shrugged his broad shouldors,
spreading his hands deprecatlngly,
"No, no; Clolo, not Does hs not
toll you my name?"
I shook my head negatively, my In
terest already deeply Increased.
"Not Ho was most cautious. It
was best Bo; but now I tell you, and
you bellove." Again ho leaned forward,
his voice sinking to a more whisper.
"1 am Don Emlllo do Custlllo."
My face must havo expressed no
Show Them What War Meantl"
familiarity with tho namo, for ho
sprang briskly to his foot, shaking a
fat, ofllclaMooking envelope 'beforo
my oyes.
"What! you recognize It not? Car
amba! then I shall show you, senor.
You read Spanish, si? This will toll
why I spenk with tho authority of my
nation. See I am admiral of the
Peruvian navy. I havo tho power; tho
right, tho authority, to say what I now
speak to you. You bellove that,
senor?"
"Ycb," I roplled, soberly, by now
fully awakened to tho fact that this
was to bo no ordinary meeting. "1
believe all you say; more, now I re
mombor your namo', Don Emlllo; but
what uro you doing here? What Is it
you doslro of mo?"
"You know noil You- know not
what all this means?" he questioned,
pointing with trembling finger toward
the window. Beforo I could answer ho
burst forth vehemently: "It is war,
Bcnor; war, disgracefully declared this
very day between Chllo nnd my coun
try tho plgsl tho cowards! tha bul
llos!" Ho sprang to his foot as If
crazod with sudden excitement, and
began pacing the room, waving his
hands with wild gesticulations. "Thoy
think, to frlsht us, senor, but thgy will
learn a losslon. Wo will fight, sonor;
fight to tho knifo. It will not bo

dogs whon tho Peruvians como to
tholr country. Then thoy will, bo beg
ging on their knees for mercy.1, Sangro
do Crlstol but wo will Bhow them
what war moons I"
I watched him earnestly, already bo
ginning dimly to percelvo In (all this a
possible opening for my owniescape.
"War?" I repeated. "And doclared
to-day? It haB como suddenly, al
though I am aware there htWe beon
months of controversy. Did ' Peru ex
pect such a result? Is sho prepared ?"
Ho paused In his nervous walk, his
hands outspread on the table, hla dark
eyes glowing Into inino.
"Both yes and no, senor. Wo know
well that nothing savo war could over
wipe out tho Chilean insults to our
country, Yet we hoped for more time
In which to prepare. Clelo! It is not
lack of men no! no I tho army Is
strong, valiant, sonor; It will fight to
tho death. But tho navyl Dlos de.
Dlos! we havo not the ships, senor.
They como not yot, thoso wo haye
bought in Europe. 'Tls that which has
brought me hore in disguise to Val
paraiso; 'tis that which brings me now
to you."
I watched him closely without ven
turing responso, and he sank Into a
choir, his elbows on the tablo.
"SI, now I explain it all to you," his
voice falling so low I could scarcely
foXow. !'We know for two weeks past
war was to come. We have only a
tew warships, ono, two, three; not
enough to fight Chile, or even guard
our own coast. Wo havo the men suf
nclent but not the ships,, senor. What
could I do? I, the admiral? There
waa but one hope tim audacity of sur
prise. They must be taken' from the
onomy; wo must strlko the first blow,
and at the very heart of the Chilean
navy. I come here Incognito,' I come
boforo war has beon declared; I study
and observe To a brave man chances

what I sought You know about the
Esmeralda', Benor?"
I sat up suddenly In my chair, grip
plng my cigar between my teeth.
"Tho Esmeralda! You moan that
steam yacht tho Chilean government
purchased from Brazil?"
"Si," his oyes glowing eagerly; "yon
aro a sailor, and s6 would know of
hor. Sho 1b beautiful, strong, swift,
a most dangerous vessel If well
handled. Havo you over soen her,
sonor?"
"Only through field-glasses from
tho balcony of tho hotol. She rode at
anchor woll off tho govornmont molo
in tho roadstead tho last I romembor."
Ho clasped his fingers on my arm,
leaning eagerly forward until his faco
was pressed close to mine.
"Sho Ilea thero yet, sonor, but only

to-night I To-morrow they warp- hor
In beside the quay, hor crow comes
aboard, hor armament, her provisions,
nnd Bho Is made ready for sea. Holy
mother, such a chance, and only for

der no longer If I seemed crazed. She
lies out there now In tho darkness,
swinging to a slnglo anchor chain, her
steam up, the nearest battery a quar
ter of a mllo away, and not a half
dozen mon aboard her. It Is as a gift
of heaven. Yet, sangro do Crlstol he
who should load the venturo lies de
lirious from fever. Was there, ever
such cursed luck before " Ho gripped
his head botwocn his two hands, but
I was already upon my feet, my mind
Instantly grasping tho situation.
"Don Emlllo," I exclaimed, eagerly,
gripping his shoulder, and compelling
him to look up, "let me understand
this clearly. You had perfected plans
to capture and run off this Esmerr
alda the moment war was formally de
clared? You havo organized a crow
for tho work, and they are waiting tho
word hero now In Valparaiso? Tholr
leader is suddenly stricken 111, and
you have no one capablo of taking his
place Is that why you have come to
mo?"
"Si, si, senor."
"How did you learnabout me?"
"From Senor Lorlng. He has lived
in Peru. I havo known him long."
"But you must havo othor officers In
your party; what of thom?"
Ho spread his hands In a gosturo of
utter holplessness.
"Senor, I brought with mo only the
one. It was not safe to bring more.
Besides, what need? This Valparaiso
is n great seaport; hero wo may al
ways find tho scum of tho seven seas;
here over are plenty of men glad
enough to fight and plunder 'tis their
trado, Cielol wo' could enroll 100
devils In an hour along the water
front, hell-hounds of tho ocean, caring
nothing for the flag above them it tho
pay bo good."
"True; and you h&vo them ready at
hand. Where are thoy?"
"At tho wino shop of Rodrlgucs be
yond tho plaza. You know the place?"
I nodded, my memory Instantly re
calling the foul den.
"How many?"
''Twenty It Is enough for a eur
prise, and they aro soa-rats, sonor."
"But thoy aro under officers?"
"Of their own kind, yes, but not of,
our navy. The first officer Is a -Yankee
whaleman; Jtho second I know not
what, only ho Is a deop-water sailor."
"I see," I acknowledged, taking a
long breath, yet continuing to stare at
him. "What you need Is some one able
to command such an outfit, one who
can oporato a steamship."
Like a flash the official envelope
came forth again.
"SI, si, and you can do that, senor.
I know; I have been told. You hate
this Chile; you tight her already in the
hills; you hide hero now for your life,
I como to give you a chance to get
away tree. But I not stop even with
that; no, no, my country not stop
with that. Seel here I possess tho
commission, all signed and sealed by
my government, of a captain In the
Peruvian navy. Only Is the namo left
blank for mo to write In. I write In
your namo; that makes you an officer
of tho Peruvian navy. See you what it
means? Chile dare not touch you ex
copt as prisoner of war. Is that not
right, senor? But I not stop even with
that no, no! When the Himeralda
comes safely to Peru, the government
pays you flvo thousand American dol
lars in gold. I pledge you that, I,
Emlllo do Castillo, admiral."

Tha. man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out of
the C. N. R. depot la Winnipeg. The
talk began In rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop, the
system of summer fallowing pursued
In the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with a sort ot
apologetic smile, tho Iowa man said:
"I'm a bit Interested In this country
myself. Somo of the mon down horaa
got a fow sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have a look' at
thom. Never been up In Canada be
fore" (It Is curious how these mid
western Americans pronounce the.
namo of tho Dominion as If it wast
"Can'dy") "but if it looks good w
will bo up to stay next fall."
"You see, It'a like this," said the.
man from Iowa qulto manifestly con
tinuing an argumont that had been go
ing on in his mind for soine time.
"Back in our State land haB become
doar. Anybody wanting to sell caa
get 70 or 80 an aero for It, and
every farm that's offered is snapped:
up. In Saskatchownn we have Just as
good land that cost us (11 and $12, e
that a man can tako up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on tha
samo investment of money.
"It isn't, the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that monoy would bo enough:
Tho 'Invasion' is a family affair We
havo no chanco of keeping our son
around us back home. They hava
to leave tho farm and. go into the bis
cities of tho neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up hora
and make Uttlo colonies with the chil
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes it easier for
tho farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for tho stay-at-homes. The families-that
come to Canada aro kopt
together and tho families that bur
tho farms, .thoy leave are kept ,.to
gethor, too. Thero won't bo any slack
ening of tho rush, cither, for they stilt
raise big families back in Iowa."
Ono could almost see tho mental!
process of this typical American farmr
er in defending a stop that meant a.
now flag, a now allegiance, a new
land, and now associates. To abanr
don Old Glory of the Declaration otl
Independence for a good thing lm
cheap land would hardly be playing:
tho game, but to go but into Sas
katchewan to "keep the family toget-"
er," was another and a quite higher
motive. k
Why seek too closely to analyze the
ronsons for the greatest land trek iai
iho history of America?. It is enought
to know that tho, sons of the frontiers
men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Minne
sotathe best blood, of tho mid-west-
aro pouring into tho Canadian, west 'lm

learning that "God Savp tho King" arid!
