this morning or he'd have been here to
welcome you. He sent aiologies and
said a lot of idee things winch I've
forgotten."
"Well" Eliza still looked troubled
"all right. But wait!'' she cried, with
a swift change of mood. "I've made
a little friend, the dear?st, the most
useless creature! "We shared the same
stateroom, and we're sisters. She ac
tually says I'm pretty, so of course I'm
her slave for life." She hurried away
in the midst of Dan's loyal protesta
tions that she was pretty more beau
tiful than the stars, more pleasing to
! the eye than the orchids of Bra7.il. A
j moment later she reappeared to pre
I sent Natalie Gerard,
j Dan greeted the new arrival with a
' cordiality in which there was a trace
of shyness unusual "with him. "We've
j made quite a change since you were
up here. Miss Gerard," he remarked,
j "The ships stop lirst at Omar now. you
see. I trust it won't inconvenience
! you."
j "Not iu the least." said Natalie. "J
j shall arrive at Hope quire soon
enough.
Dan led the two girls ashore and up
through the town to a moss green bun
gal w. its newness- attested by tin- yel
low sawdust and fresh shavings which
lay about. Amid their exclamations of
delight he showed them the neatly fur
lushed interior and. among other won
ders. a bedroom daintily done in white,
with whit curtains at the muliiouetl
windows and a suit of wicker furni
ture.
"Where he dug all that up I don't
know," Dan said, pointing to the bed
and dresser and chairs. "He must
have had it hidden out somewhere."
Eliza surveyed this chamber with
wondering eyes. "It makes me feel
quite ashamed." she said, "iliough. of
course, he did it for Dan. When he
discovers my abominable mission he'll
probably set me out in the raiu and
break all my lead pencils. But isn't he
magnificent?"
"He quite overw helms one," Natalie
agreed. "Back in New York he's beer
sending me American Beauties evvr.i
voe& for more than a year. It's hi.
princely way." She colored sliahtly
despite the easy frankness of he:
manner.
"You are still working miracles.
Natalie told O'Neil an hour later, while
he was showing his visitors the few
sights of Omar, "miracles of kindness
a.i usual."
Dan and his sister were following
at a distance, arm in arm and chatter
I u like magpies.
No, no! That cottage is nothing.
Miss Appleton had to have some place
to stop."
"This all seems like magic." Natalie
paused and looked over the busy little
town. "And to think you have done it
in a year."
"It was not I who did it: the credii
belongs to those 'boys' of whom I told
you. They are all here, by the way

"And Mr. Slater?"
"Oh. we couldn't exist without Hap
py Tom! No. the only miracle about
ull this is the loyalty that has made it
possible. It is that which has broken
all records in railroad building; that's
what has pushed our tracks forward
until we're nearly up to one of nature's
eal miracles. You shall see those gla
ciers one of these days. Sometimes I
wonder if even the devotion of those

"I can't. The "ship leaves this after
noon." "I've arranged to send you to Ilojie
in my niotorboat just as Mr. Gordon
siuit me on my way a year ago. You
will stay with the Appletons tonight
and help at the house warming, then
Dau will take you on in the morning.
Women are such rare guests at Ouiar
!hat we refuse to part with them. You
agree?'
"How can I refuse? Your word
seems to be law here. I'll send word
to mother by the ship that I am de
tained by royal decree."
She spoke with a gayety that seemed
i little forced, and at mention of her
departure a subtle change had come
over her face. O'Neil realized that she
had matured markedly since his last
meeting with her; there was no longer
quite the same effect of naive girlish
ness. "This was a very unhappy year for
your loyal subject. Mr. O'Neil."

heart to funding gratefully. She was
half tempted to tell about that other,
that greater trouble which had stolen
in upon her iK?aee of mind and robbed
her of her girlhood, but she shrank
from baring her wounds above all. a
wound so vital and so personal as this,
'Does your mother know?" he que -
ried.
"No, I preferred to tell her in Mr.
Gordon's presence." Murray noticed
that she no longer called the man un-
cle. "But now that the time has come
I'm frightened."
"Never allow yourself to be afraid.
Fear is something false; it doesn't
exist."
"It seems to me he was unfaithful
to his trust Am I right?"
"That is something you must judge
for yourself," he told her gravely.
"You see, I don't know anything about
the reasons which prompted him to
saerinoe your rights. He may have
had very good reasons. I dare say he
had. In building this railroad I have
felt but one regret that is the indirect
effect it may have upon you and your
mother. Your affavrs are linked close
ly with Gordon's, and the success of
my enterprise will mean the failure
of his."
"You mustn't feel that way. I'm
sure it won't affect us at all, for we
have nothing more to lose. Sometimes
I think his judgment is fault y, erratic,
wonderful man though he is. Mother
trusts him blindly, of course, and so
do I, yet I hardly know what to do. It
is Impossible that he did worse than
make a mistake."
Her dark eyes were bent upon Mur
ray, and they were eloquent with the
question which she could not bring her
self to ask. He longed to tell her
frankly that Curtis Gordon was a
charlatan, or even worse, and that his
fairest schemes were doomed to fail
ure by the very nature of his methods,
but instead he said:
"I'm deeply distressed. I hope things 1

Mr. Gordon will be able 10 straighten
them out for you. If ever I caa bo of
service you must be sure to call upon
nie."
Her thanks were conventional, but in .
ner neart was a deep, warm gratitude.
for she knew that he meant what he
said and would not fail her.

"Forget it!" said Eliza sharply.

date of her birthday. .lust you keep
your hands off."
"How does she feel about him?"
"Oh, she heroizes him, of course. I
don't know just hv deep the feeling
goes, but I got the impression that it
was pretty serious. Two women can't
borrow hairpins and mix powder puffs
for a week and remain strangers."
"Then, as for L'aniel Appleton. C. E..
good night!" exclaimed her brother rue
fully. "If I were a woman I'd marry
him myself, provided I could get
ahead of the rush; but. being a male
of the species, T suppose I shall creep
out into the jungle and sulk."
"Bight-o! Don't enter this race, for
I'm afraid you'd be a bad loser. Per
sonally, I can't see anything in him to
rave about. What scares me pink is
the knowledge that I must tell him the
wretched business that brings me here.
If he strikes me, Danny, remember
I'm still your sifter."
When the big gong gave the signal
for luncheon Appleton conducted Na
talie and Eliza to the company mess
room, where the field and office force
dined together, and presented them to
his fellow lieutenants. At supper time
those who lud been out on the line dur
ing the day were likewise introduced,
and after a merry meal the whole par
ty escorted the two girls back to the
green bungalow.
"Why, here's a piano!" Eliza exclaim
ed upon entering the parlor.
"I borrowed it for the evening from
the Elite saloon." O'Neil volunteered.
It s a dissipated old instrument, and;
some of its teeth have been knocked
out in drunken brawls. I'm afraid
but the owner vouched for its behavior

she began with some trepidation.
"Have you any idea why I'm here?"
"I supposed either you or Dan had
achieved your pet ambition."
"Far from it. I have a tell purpose,
and when you learn what it is I ex

military equipment. He must not be

Iu Froissart's engaging chronicles
von mnv rend how bands of mercenary
w- .n iroDiht anil m-
petuous commanders, whose only ol
ject was the destruction of the enemy.
The mercenaries were out to take pris
oners and trade in the ransoms. This
traffic gave rise to infinite abuses, in
cluding torture and all manner of dis
honesty. .Sir John Falstaff Shake
speare's Falstaff was notorious for
an extensive and unscrupulous traffic
in ransoms. Yet it was not until dur
ing the eighteenth century wars that
an agreement to end the custom was
come to between the European com
manders. Even then it lingered on in
practice until the eve of the Napoleonic
wars, when it was swept away for the
newer idea of exchange of prisoners,
rank for rank.
One great change brought about by
the new system was that the prisoners
became a state care and responsibility.
Whether this change made for greater
humaneness of treatment depended in
part upon the conquering nation, but
even more upon the individual gover
nor or jailer. This may be seenSn the
varying accounts we have of the con
ditions of prisoners of war iu England
during the long struggle with Napoleon.
Lincolnshire's fens make good cen
ters for a military compound. George
Borrow, in "Lavengro," has given a
terrible picture of the conditions at
Norman's Cross prison, in the fen dis
trict. "Rations of carrion meat," be
writes, "and bread from which I have
seen the very hounds occasionally turn
away were unworthy entertainment
even for the most ruffian enemy, when
helpless and captive."
In these prisons the inmates made
various articles of commercial utility,
such as straw plait, whili were
bought of them by dealers for a miser
able sum. the proceeds procuring them
a few trifling comforts and the luxury
of tobacco, or affording the bribes nc
ssary for the smuggling out of letters
More tolerable was the fate of tlios -settled
on parole in such towns as
Chesterfield, where they endured ac
tual confinement under guard only at
night, being free within certain bounds
during the day. In mauy cases, as time
went by. prisoners who had won the
confidence of their guards k"'ara:'
virtually free in all respects, starting
workshops us cabinetmakers, etc.. or
teaching drawing, music or French to
the children of the well to do. Their
geniality and politeness soon made
them very popular with lhe blunt and
serious Derbytiiire folk, and quite a
number of them married and settled
down in the Chesterfield district, where
the traces of this settlement may be
seen both in bwal names and iu olive
skins and other features. Philadel
