lie was late, as usual. Their appoint- |
Pent was thirty-five minutes overdue j
when from her lookout at the parlor win- .
low she espied him turning into the street j
from the main road.
She looked in vain for the least sign ,
>f hurry on him. Calmly and leisurely,
he sauntered up the street, reading the
evening paper, with the air of a man who
would as lief his destination were fur- j
fcher, and she felt his feet tramping on her j
heart.
As he neared the door she slipped up to '
her room, leaving the rest of the family,
who were taking a rather indignant In
terest in him just now, to Rnswer his
knock. Twenty minutes after she dried
her eyes and came down.
He was lounging on the sofa, reading his
paper.
He looked up casually.
She said: "Oh, don’t let me disturb
you. I’m sorry to intrude.
He looked at his watcli and smiled
3ryly.
"Rather a good job I was a little late.”
“Were you? How time flies! I was late
home from business, and I’ve been busy
since.”
•‘I’ve been waiting twenty mfnutes and
a half, and I was thirty-five minutes be
hind,” he said off-handedly.
Not by a second would he add to his
waiting, or lessen his dalliance. She had
lied that he might lie, hut he did not care
enough to take the chanre. Her hand
trembled as she stood at the mirror pin
ning up a stray lock that she had left
loose so that she might seem unready.
*T could have waited until you finished
your toilet,” he said.
"I forgot. Of course you want to get on
with your reading. Rut perhaps one pa
per won’t last you the night.” She wrent
out and returned with an armful of news
papers. which she slammed down on the
table at his elbow. "There!” she said,
and vanished.
It was amost dark when she came hack.
Phe paused for a moment on the thresh
hold ©f the room, hoping he would call
squeezed it; and the next moment a man’s
brown face came into view and kissed her
full on the mouth.
Walter stared hard, but a mist blotted
the scene from his gaze.
When it cleared away the man’s head
had disappeared, though his hand still
remained on Amy’s shoulder, and the lov
ing pair were singing the opening bars of
“Tom Bowling,’*
A blind rage took hold of Walter. Pas
sionate jealousy, to which he had long
been a stranger, swept over his heart as a
flood, reminding him in n flash of the old
days before he was sure of her favor,
when ho cherished black hate for every
man her wayward lips smiled on.
He rushed along the passage and Into
the parlor, and seizing Amy’s companion
I by the collar struck him a sounding blow
on the cheekbone.
Jack Minton—for the unknown rival was
he—jerked his neck free and returned the
blow with Interest. With loud breathings
and flaming faces the two men closed in
combat and went lurching about the room,
hitting now at each other, now the un
satisfactory air. and all in deadly silence.
Amy shrunk trembling into a corner as
■ they stumbled toward her, then indigna
tion against her brother got the better of
her. She sprang between them.
“Jack, for shame! Come away this min
ute. llow dare you strike him!”
The men fell apart, glaring.
“Why shouldn’t 1?” growled Jack. “IIo
hit me first.”
She looked wonderingly at Waltfer.
“You hit him first?”
“Yes,” he sukl.
“Why?”
“He—he kissed you.”
“He kissed me! Of course he kissed me.”
Then her heart leaped at the blunder; the
dear, delightful blunder that had shown
her he would fight for her dawned on her.
“1 forgot,” she said, smiling on them both,
“you have never met: Jack, this Is Wal
ter; Walter, this is my brother Jack.”
“Your brother!” said Walter slowly,

her to him; then she sat down at the
piano.
Time was when the commonest barrel
organ melody played by her could set his
heart throbbing. Now he observed that
her choice of airs was conventional, her
playing mechanical and colorless. Ills In
difference choked her. She got up sud
denly In the middle of a tune.
"You'd better go,” she said.
He went.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
were the nights he visited her. The fol
lowing Wednesday he did not come. The
family made a fuss about It.
"It all comes of leaving you girls to
yourselves,” said her mother. “In my
young days, when parents had a say in
their children’s affairs, the man was
brought to h'.s senses after a year or
two’s courshlp, and the girl was safely
married to him before he had time to get
tired of her. If my mother hadn't taken
your father In hand he’d have hung on
till I marrlod some one else out of spite,
and left him to die of landladies’ cook
ing.”
"If that’s what Amy's up to.” said Mag
gie, her elder and plainer sister, "she
might let us know, and the fellow, too.
Save us wasting suppers on him and him
useless Journeys."
“Don’t you make any error,” said Sam
uel Minton, aged 11. "Our Amy hasn’t
got any other chap. She’s Just dotty on
Walter. You should see the face on her
when he’s late getting here. You’d think
she was going to be executed."
"Him fight!” said Maggie contemptu
ously.
"All the more fun,” laughed Jack.
"Leave this little job to me,” said Mr.
Minton, waking up out of a doze. "I’ll
reason with the young man. I’ll point
out to him the Injudiciousness of his be
havior. Reason brought me up to the
scratch. Why shouldn't It bring him,
too ?"
“Because men are different nowadays,"
answered Maggie, feelingly.
"Mag’s right,” said Jack. "It takes the
young to deal with the young these times.
You can leave him to me, <lad. It Isn’t
reasoning he's In need of. He wants wak
ing up: he's taking us loo casually. Next
time he calls get e-my out of the way and
leave me to settle with him. Seems to me
I’ve Just come home In time.”
"What if he doesn't mean to come
againV" suggested Maggie.
"Oh, then I’ll begin calling on him."
The next night Walter, strolling home
ward, found himself In the neighborhood
of the Minton's house.
In there she sat, her arms ready for hls
embrace, her lips pleading for his kisses;
and he stayed outside. But ho was not
happy.
He was turning away when a man’s
voice Joined In the song. A heavy bari
tone. not without a musical ring, but In
Its bounding, unmodulated strength more
suited to a rollicking sea song than a pa
thetic ballad.
The singing ceased, but there was no
applause. Listening at the window, Wal
ter noticed a gap in the Venetian blind,
through which a narrow space of the
lamp-lit room was visible. This narrow '
space was occupied by a,part of the key- j
board of the piano, a book of music stand
ig above, Amy’s prolllo nud a large,
brown hand resting on her shoulder.
As Walter peered in the brown hand
moved forward to turn the leaves of the
music book, met Amy’s white one out
stretched on the same errand, and,
am a
thinking it out. He offered his hand to
Jack. “Then I apologize.”
“I’m dashed if I do!” said Jack. “So
you’re Walter, are you? You’re the gen
tleman who’s been having a game with
my sister?” He advanced threateningly.
"We’ve finished too soon. I’ve been sav
ing up a licking for you. Better get the
job over.”
“Yes, we’d better get the job over,”
said Walter, putting up his fists.
Amy gave Jack a push toward the door.
“Go and find room in the kitchen, you
great silly," she said, kissing him. “And
if ever you lay a finger on Walter again
I’ll fall out with you.”
Walter followed Jack and held out his
hand again. “Shake hands, old chap. You
owed me a licking and you’ve given ine
one. I owe you—well, never mind what I
owe you. Shake hands anyway.”
Jack, slower than his sister to grasp thd
meaning of Waiter’s “He kissed you!”
took his hand dubiously. “Well,” he said,
“I don’t mind telling you that this just
about gets over me. Here I come home
from the other side of the world, find you
two at loggerheads, and promise myself
I'm going to show you how to appreciate
a girl like Amy with the business end of
my knuckles.
"I do so’’—he inspected Walter’s black
eye with critical satisfaction, then felt
his own bruised cheek tenderly—“we both
do so. And now you’re old chapping me,
Amy’s chucking me out, and the pair of
you seem to have become as big friends
as ever without giving me the wink as to
howr you’ve managed it.’’
Walter shook his hand warmly. “Per
haps some other time I’ll give you—the
wink.” #
“Walter,” said Amy, when her brother
had gone, “what is it you owe Jack?”
He took her in his arms and kissed her
in the old sweet way.
“I ows him you,” he said. “I was los
ing you, my darling, letting you go, wil
fully; though I was miserable, and did not
want to. I was too sure of you, took you
too much for granted. I had forgotten
that I loved you. Something had to hap
pen to remind me. Jack happened.”
“But,” she protested, slyly, “it was only
Jack, after all. Are you sure you wont
be sorry you put yourself to the incon
venience of calling, and—er—got your ey*
blacked, for a mere brother?”
“Sorry!” he cried. “Dear old Jack has
been the salvation of me; but for him I
would have driven you to warmer arms.
My love for you had gone asleep; he
awakened it. When I left you last night
I did not intend to come back. Now I have
come back forever; I mean, for as long as
I am welcome.”
“It's all the same,” she said, laying her
head on his shoulder.
From a Society Man’s Diary.
I.lfe: "I narrowly escaped a great hu
miliation dining with the Smiths last
night. Only the superb tact of Mrs. Smith
suved me.”
I had drunk my wine.
“Fill Mr. Jones' glass," said Smith to
his butler.
As the man approached me, decanter In
hand, I broke Into a cold perspiration. For
In that moment I recalled that I had
brought no money with me.
Doubtless I looked the horror I felt. Any
way, Mrs Smith divined my predicament,

DUKE IN SEARCH
OF LOST TREASURE
Argyll Apparently Has Good
Chance of Recovering
Sunken Gold.
AN ANCIENT SPANISH SHIP
fhere Was Laughter for His Grace
When He Set Out in the Search,
but His Men Have Traces
of the Galleon.
London special: Although much was
laid ubout the duke of Argyll’s rather
antastlc project of seeking for Spanish
rold off the Island of Mull when first
le determined to undertake it. probably
'ew expected that the somewhat fussy
>U1 nobleman actually would carry out
he enterprise. However, anyone who
jares to mitke a trip to the picturesque
Bland off the coast of Scotland can see
t little steam lighter pumping away In
he bay. and the object of Its attentions
s no other than the recovery of the
amous treasure wlch went down In the
Spanish ship "Florida’' more than 300
'ears ago. Moreover, there are signs
hat the quest Isn’t going to be barren
>y any means.
The "Florida" was of course one of
hat great lleet of galleons called the
Spanish Armada In Spain's last ut
empt to wipe England from the seas,
•laving been smote hip und thigh by
Orake, the lleet scattered to the near*
:st place of refuge nnC the “Florida,"
luttle-scarred and In anything but sea
vorthy condition, sought safety by
larting through the narrow entrance
0 the landlocked harbor of Mull,
[■hough the Spanish captata thus got
lear away from Ills English foes, fate
iad decreed that his proud galleon
clth Its golden stores should never
eave the roc.kbound harbor. The Flor
da's captain, Don Fereija, lost no time
n scraping acquaintance with the
Scotchmen who inhibited Mull, and,
n return for supplies of food and drink
io seems to have made a compact with
he local chief to he'p him fight a but
le with a neighboring clan, the allies
moving triumphant.
Agreement Was Violated.
History Is rathe vague as to Just
vhat happened then, hut the Spanish
loinmander appears to have made some
ort of a compact with the Highlander
vhich afterward he did not care to
;eep, and when the latter sent one of
Ms emissaries—Donald Glas Maclean,
1 brave Scotchman—aboard the Flor
da to ask wl*v Don Fereija’s promise
tus not kept, the Spaniard clapped
ifadean below and prepared to sail at
,nce. As the Scotchmen on shore pos
essed neither heavy ordnance nor
ihtps, Don might have got free tai sate
y had It not been for the canny Don
tld, who, discovering the drift of af
alrs, contrived to lay a fuse to the
naln magazine.
Now, Just as the crew was weighing
tnchor, It occurred to the Spanish cap
,aln that it would be fitting for Donald
Jlaa to have a last look at the father
und and, little realizing that his ship
vas about to be blown from beneath
lim, Fereija summoned the Scotchman
io the deck. Donald had his look ac
jompanled by grim taunts of the Span
ards, but no sooner had the hatch cov
rs closed over him than, with the roar
>f a hundred thunders, the Florida
ipllt in two and sank.
Only Three Escaped.
Of the elghty-slx souls on board only
liree escaped, and of these one died
lext day. The Islanders Insist, how
iver, that the captain’s dog also sur
vived the explosion and died near the
ihore, where his ghastly bark may still
>e heard on stormy nights. The Flor
da was known to have on board an
•normous store of treasure when she
vas destroyed, and for this the ducal
'amlly of Argyll has been searching off’
tnd on since 1643. Although the pres
ent duke’s aneestprs found almost no
race of the Spaniard, the search now
foing on has brought to light much
vklence that the treasure seekers may
eally have located the galleon,
[livers have sent up parts of ship’s
dinbers, old cannon and a few silver
joins bearing the stamp of Philip II.,
tnd the duke Is confident that before
nany weeks the men on the little llght
jr will get a signal from below to haul
ip the long sought gold.

MEN WHO WORK OVERTIME. ’
Actors, Clergymen, School Teacher*
and Newspaper Men.
Harper’s Weekly: Recently I hafviv
talked with a number of men who wof's-t
hard In their various professions. Th»j
comedian of a stock company In a well1
known New York theater said: "To bt-1
Kin with, we have a new play every week.
I am always at the theater every after-, *

la pretty heard, but after a ta.k, thn
other day, with a friend who had Just
come In from playing one-night stands,
I congratulated myself on having a com
paratively easy lot In life.
The ordinary weekly routine of a prom
inent out-of-town clergyman with whom
1 talked is as follows: "All day Sunday
Is taken up with the regular routine of
church work. Kvery night In the week
there ts some kind of a meeting tvhlfl*
requires my presence. On Saturday I pre

meetings at which I am expected to bo

of which I visit once or twice a week.

FIVE INTELLECTUAL FEET.
brary Long Enough to Furnish in
formation for Needs of Any Man.
According to President Charles \V. Eliot,
of Harvard University, there Is no good
reason why the normal human being
should not have an Intellectual training
that would meet the requirements not
only of our advanced civilization, but be
up to the highest standard as fixed by the
learned president himself, for recently be
said: “A library that will go on a shell
live feet long Is enough to give an Intel
lectual training to any human being that
ever came Into the world," says the blew
York Herald,
Just think of It! You can hold the five
feet of volumes between your extended
palms, and all you have to do Is to trans
mute their contents Into memory cells
that can, at the will, be put Into action
for the production of understanding.
Only five feet! I have taken the trouble
to put the rule on this and apply a little
mathematics. As books in the library av
erage, five feet means 37 volumes; which
is not an array calculated to frighten *a>
reader.
Again, an average shows that these 37
books contain SO.tJOO pages, made up ol
1,000,000 words. Not so very much ma
terial from which to Imbibe Intellectual
training.
