to see that the Jetty hair framing his dark

wooden bench, and something lying there
shone brightly where the sun struck?
Trying a Ftfrtttion.
Again that faint sound, and a sudden
movement drew my attention, and lo! his
hand Was at his curled mustache; hla
bold dark eyes were making great play
the gentlemanly scamp was trying with
promptness and despatch to set up a flir
tation. Instantly I asoumed the stolidity
of a graven Image. Had any one else been
about I should simply have been angry
as it was I felt a bit frightened. I was
for going at once back to the little office
but, said second thought:
"He may follow you." Oh, If only my
people would hurry down!
The man coughed and hemmed until I
thought his throat must ache. From the
tall of an averted eye I caught the white
flourish of a handkerchief. Then he got
up he was good heaven! he waa com
ing toward me! Some one Inside rapped
sharply on that open window, and the ap
proaching Don Juan growled, "Oh, you go
to the devil!" and came nearer. I wheeled
about to go into the hall. "Please," he
said, "please take this!" and pulling the
flower from his coat, ha cast It toward
me.
I shook It angrily from my aklrt and
merely as a ruse csllrd Into the hall:
"Oh, you are down at last!" and lo, the
whole party were truly corning down tha
stairs.
Their mala guide caught sight of ma

anger: "You have no r.ght out there!" ho
said angrily.
"I an very sorry," I replied, "but there's
no sign forbidding me. 1 only looked out
to get the air; besides I'm not the only
wrongdoer, for there's another out there."
And we both saw the man iiuickly dis
aprear through a door, and at the same
time a long arm reached through the
barred window, and a hand lifted tha pair
of steel bracelets from the bench, whera
they had been shining in the sun.
The officer at my side swore benesth hla
breath; stooped, and, picking up tha flow
er, said: "Here, Is this youra?"
"No," I answered, "It belongs to tha
other party."
My tone attracted his attention. "Say,"
he asked, "has that fellow been trying to
