The autumn passed on into winter without a change of expression in the a benign face of nature. Christmas day was as hot as if it had come ‘a mid- ': summer: the natives were as naked. ; the trees as fully clad The six months i l were passing away in spite of them- ‘Ieiree. Ten weeks were left before 5 the worn but determined heirs could ' cast 06 their bonds and rush away to other climea. It mat-'ered little whether they went away rich or poor. They were to go! Go! That was the rich- est thing the future held out to them. True. they rode and played and swam land romped without restraint. but be- neath all 0! their abandon there lurked the ever present pail-us of the jail, the asylum. the detention ward. _-..-â€"-_â€". Not until the end of January was there a sign of revolt against the ever growing. insidious condition of melan- choly. As they turmd into the last! third of their exile the\ found heart. to rejoice in the thought that release was coming nearer and nearer. The end of Marchâ€"eight weeks off! Soon there would be but seven weeks. then I six! And all this time the islanders toiled as they had tolled for years. They t‘e'knnetl ln years, while the strangers cast up tltue‘s aeeount in weeks and callvtl them years Cach day the brown men \vnrked in the mines piling gems intu the vaults with a resolute. mess: that never falteretl. From London vana- disquieting news fer all sides to the controversy. The struggle promised in he drawn out for years. perhaps. The lonely legatees, n'iarooned in the far south sea. began to realize that even after they had spent their six months of probation they would still have months. even years, of waiting before they could ““10“ the fortune they laid claim to. The islanders also were vaguely awake to the fact that everything might be tied up for years despite the provi- sions of the will. A restless. stubborn feeling of alarm snread among them. This feeling gradu‘lly developed itself into hitter resentment. Hatred for the people who were causing this delay was growing deeper and flercer. Their counselor, the complacent eneâ€" l my. held himself aloof from the men. and women that his charges were fighting. He met the two lawyers: often. but nothing passed betweenl them that could have been regarded as the slightest breach of trust. He lived like a rajah in his shady bunga- low, surrounded by the luxuries of one to whom all things are brought indi- visible. 1! he had any longing for the society of women of his own race and kind. he carefully concealed it. His indiiference to the subtle though un- mistakable appeals of the two gentle- women in the chateau was irritating in the extreme. When he deliberately. though politely. declined their invita- tion to tea one afternoon their humilia- tion knew no bounds. Lady Deppingham and Mrs. Browne should not be misunderstood by the reader. They loved their husbandsâ€"â€" I am quite sure of thatâ€"but they were tired of seeing no one else. tired of talking to no one else. Moreover. in support of this one sided assertion. they experienced from time to time the most melancholy attacks of jeal- ousy. If Mrs. Browne in plain despair went oi! for a day’s ride with Lord Deppingham, that gentleman's wife was sick with jealousy. if Lady Ag- nes strolled in the moonlit gardens with Mr. Browne. the former Miss Bate of Boston could scarcely control her emotions. They shed many tears of anguish over the faithlessness of husbands. tears of hatred over the viciousness of temptresses. Their quar7 rels were fierce. their upbraidings char- acteristic. but in the end they cried and kissed and “made up.” They did not know. of course. that the wily Britt. despite his own depres- sion. was all the while accumulating the most astounding lot of evidence to show that a decided streak of insanity existed in the two heirs. “If they could only be married in some way.” was Britt’s private lament to Saunders from time to time when despair overcame confidence. “I’ve got a ripping idea.” Saunders said one day. i TH E MAN FROM BRODNEY’S Saunders was hee with Miss Pelham at this time, so it is not surprising that he. had some sort of an idea about marriage. no matter whom it concerned. A Night alter night the Deppinghams and Brownes gave dinners. balls. mu- sicales. “bridges,” masks and theater the chateau. First one would invite the other to a great ball. then the other would respond'by giv- working net Her husband and Bobby Bhwne to “She‘s coming!" she cried ecstaticai ly. repeating herself a dozen times “Who‘s coming. Aggy?" roared hm husband for the sixth time. “Hie princess! Doppy. l'm going tu squeeze you! I must squeeze sumo bOdy! Isn't it glorious? .\’0w-â€"nuw- now life will be worth living in this beastly place.” Hervdéarest friend. the prinvess. h‘H‘ written to say that she was cumin: 1 . wand 11 month with her. “In her uncle‘s yacht.

Bhe bones it will be uui9t!" “I say. Deppinulmm. you can tn her out walking; and pivk up a crown- ful of fresh rubivs M'vry day or so," said Browne. Miss Pelham made it a point to look as fascinating as possible on the occa- sion of these interesting trips into the enemy's territory. The enemy. doing his duty by his (-ilvnts with a determination that seemed ineontestahle. was the last to realize that an intrigue was shaping itself to combat his endeavors. Von Blitz. openly his friend and ally. de- spite their sad encounter. was the thorn which pricked the natives into a siate of uneasiness and doubt as to their agent’s sincerity. They began to believe that no good could come out of the daily meetings of the three lawyers. tuv -â€" lt was Von Blitz who told the lead- ing men of the island that their wives -â€"the Persians, the Circassians, the Egyptians and the Turkish heurisâ€" were in love with the tall stranger. It was he who advised them to ob- scrve the actions. to study the moods of their women. The German knew the condition of affairs in his own household. His overthrow at the hands of the Ameri- can had cost him more than physical ignnminy; his wives openly expressed an admiration for their champion. livery eye in Japat was upon him; every hand was turning against him. It was Miss Pelham who finally took it upon herself to warn the lonely American. The look of surprise and ‘ disgust that came into his face brought her up sharply. II“. â€"â€"â€" “Miss Pelham.” he said coldly, “will you be kind enough to carry my con- dolences to the ladies at court and say that I recommend reading as an antidote for the poison which idleness produces. Neither my home nor my barroom is open to ladies. If you don’t mind we'll go on with this report." Miss Pelharn flushed and looked very uncomfortable. “IO‘V wvâ€" _ “Y ou’ re wrong about Lady Depplng- ham and Mrs. Browne." she began hurriedly. “They’ve never said any- thing mean about you. It was just 'I‘l _ ‘u.-.D wvw_ . my miserable way of putting it. The talk comes from the islanders. Mr. Bowles has told Mr. Britt and Mr. Saunders. He thinks Von Blitz is working against you. and he is sure that all of the men are furiously jeal- ous.” “Perhaps there is something in what you say. I'm grateful to you for pre- paring me." It had suddenly come to mind that the night before he had seen a man skulking'in the vicinity of the bungalow. l “I Just thought I’d tell you," mur- mured Miss Pelham nervously. “lâ€" we don’t want to see you get into troubleâ€"node of us}: “Thank you." After a long pause he went on, lowering his voice: “Miss Pelham. I have had a hagd time here in more ways than I'care to speak of. It may interest you to know that I had decided to resign next month and go home. I'm a ‘iving man. and a liv- in; man objects t(- a living‘death. But I’ve changed my mind. I’ll stick: my time out. 'I’ve got three months longer to stay, and I’ll stag. If Von Blitz thinks he can drive me out, he’s mis- taken. I’il be here after you and your friends up there have sailed away. Miss Pelhamâ€"rGod ‘hioss you. you’re all Whiteâ€"and I'll be here when Von Biitz and his wives aredancing to the tune I play. Now let's get back to work. If Von Blitz is working in the dark. I'll compel him to show his hand. And. Miss Pelham.” he concluded very slow- ly, “I'll promise to use a club. it neces- su'y, go drive the Persian, ladies away. 1 80 please rest easy on my account." The next morning the town hustled with a new excitement. .A trim, beau- tiful yacht. flying strange anion, weaned into the little harbor of Am- tlt.
