itedie ies A QUESTION OF CONSCIENCE "If you tell them that the treasure is yours, what will they say? What woulkl any san man say? If they are as honest as you believe, then they will say, "All right Felice, go and gei it." However honest they may happen to be they will not fit out an expedition and incur great expenses and possible danger to help you find Benny‘s gold and diamonds. You cannot fit out an expedition. Only a rich man could enter on such adventure, and if Aylmer hears before you start that Felice Pardo is the sole member of the party wh can profit, there is then nothing doing. How could it be othedwise?" "What other way exists?" he said "What other honest way Mother?" "Your duty to yourself and to me, because I am your good mother, is to avail yourself of this great chance put before you. And, to do so, you must first use your wits as you have never used them. You are a very clever man.but so far life has denied you any real opportunity to use your cleverness and reap the reward of it, Now life says "Here is your chance at last Felice Pardo". You have good ideas, clear vision, consciousness of the evils of poverty and the power of wealth. "It is a matter for your coscience, then; and if conscience speaks a clear message, you must obey. The prifst would tell you that." "There may be nothing there," he answered. ‘"Benny may have got his treasure after all, and found no tempâ€" tation to come home again; or he may have been knocked on the head and his treasure taken from him. Think if I lost these valued friendships and all they may mean in the future, for a mare‘s nest, mother." ""You know nothing at all," she said "and your words chill my heart. Your part is to hide your heart. If the exâ€" pedition fails, none need ever know what was hidden in you and your friendships are left without a shadow upon them. You are none the worse, The future takes care of itself, and takes care of us too, if we face it like men. The future only tortures those who are frizthtened of it. You keep your secret hidden from them, until you are all home again perhaps. Then and conly then you discover the truth, that everything belongs to you! You did not know it till you tell me about it. Even friendship is not lost if they do not put the treasure higher than friendship." "You are tempting me to put the treéasure higher than friendship." treasure highter than friendship." "Let us go to our beds, then," she concluded, Her son made no reply and when night came both man and woman were kept wakeful by their thoughts. Anita blamed herself for not making stronâ€" ger case and winning him to her viewâ€" point from the first. She planned a stronger attack when morning came, convincing herself without the least difficuly that her opinion was right and just.

And there are many such treasures of no intrinsice worth, mother, yet man‘s struggle and fight to reach them are of mighty worth and make man greater by the battle he has fouzht to find them. An old sailor, such as Benny Boss, no doubt imagined his little hoard repreâ€" sented great riches, whereas the truth may be that, even if found, it will not pay for the cost of finding it. That is for the future to tell. But if found, great or small, it is emphatically ming, and after long thinking through the night I am sure that it was meant to be mineâ€"not for my own pleasure, but for my own duty." "So long as you are clever on the main point, you can leave the details until you come to them," answered Signora Pardo. "Write to Aylmer and tell him to count upon you. And do not undervalue the treasure, for that is a matter for God to decide." CHAPTER VIII PANDO sSAYÂ¥S "DOoO ITT" Felice destroyed the letter he was about to dispatch, and sent another instead. "My dear Tom," he wrote, “whenl I read your letter I laughed, and was in mind to tell you not to be an idiot, but keep your newlyâ€"acquired wealth in your pocket; vet on second thoughts, ‘ I think otherwise. There is plenty o-f! buried treasure in the world, and no. doubt we have enouzh information tC be sure the waters of Lake Titicaca hide many priceless things that would make us all wonder if they were ever brought to the light again. Why then, should this industrious old treasureâ€" hunter called "Benny Boss" have failed in his quest? With the amount of deâ€" tail you seem to have gleaned and the wonderful revelation of the parrot, it does, I think, look good enough. If you really want me to take part in your expedition and do everything I can to lend a hand and help you, of course you have only got to say the word. "In any case, given aA decent little ship, the business should not occupy very much time, and you can take it in your stride on your way back. "At any rate if you are game to sesk it, I‘m game to help you do so. Write at once, or telegraph if you‘re in a hurry, and I will go up to Guayagquil in Equador, across to the Galepagos and meet you.

Always, dear Tom, your Felice." Jane approved this letter highly. "Mr. Pardo sounds a very sensible sort of man,." she said "and he is pracâ€" tical. Tell him to get a ship and have her ready for sea by the time we arrive at the Galapagos." "We‘ve got to get there first," he said, "and we‘ve also got to know where to make for. There is a swarm of islands to choose from, but the swagger one ‘s Albemarle. That‘s where Pardo will go. Very few are inhabited at all." They set about their preparations and six weeks later were on their way. Aylmer had hoped to hear again conâ€" cerning the mine and had written to Jacob Fernandez on the subject, telling him also about the parrot. "Here is one thing worth visiting this grim place for alone," said Tom.. ‘"This is where the famous lichen orchilla, comes from. It is gathered and sent to England and makes a wonderful purpie dye. For Angus the craters that honeyâ€" combed the islandâ€"from mere blow holes to deep cuts of great sizeâ€"imâ€" pressed him most. "If we ever find Tabletop," he told them, "it will be much on this patternâ€" lowâ€"lying in tremendously deep water, shrouded in mists and with an active or extinct volcano rising in the middle of it. And just as flora and fauna are extraordinary and unique here, so they may be still more extraordinary and unique there. These isolated placâ€" es are links with life from the far past that have persisted and escaped the djevastation man brings along with hin.." It was to Charles island and not Albemarle that the travellers had come, and at the little settlement of La Floreana, Felice Pardo awaited them. He interested Jane very much, for she was immediately conscious of a mind cast in a differnt pattern from any she had yvet met in her brief existancs. She had never known a foreigner very well before, and the mixed bloods that went to create Felice produced an intellect and outlook that gave her much to think about. She approached him cautiously and when an instinet of doubt and even aversion began to dawn in her, she blamed herself, not .im, and told herself that only a child or a savage, mistrusts the unknown. He was clever and courteous, poured into her new knowledge of the world in which he lived, and obviously strove to please her; but she felt him to be radicâ€" ally different in essence from her own kind. She would never understand him, as she understood the simple natures of Tom or Angus. Yet he did not hide his enthusiasm or conceal his strong socialistic convictions. He was quite honest in that matter. "What I want to see before I die is a juster world, Miss Bradshaw; and that would also be a better world," he said. She could no deny the force of that ambition and observed that Pardo‘s ideas were cast in a greater mould than those of her own, or of her friend‘s Birds and plants and ruined cities seemed small things contrasted with the Peruvian‘s enthusiasms for humanâ€" ity and it was the sharp contrasts. that Jane concluded, must make her feel uncomfortable in Felice‘s comâ€" pany. As for Aylmer and Maine, they welâ€" comed their friend gladly enough, and for them a new sensation attended their reunion. They both felt it, yet neither could put it into words or exâ€" plain it to one another. Something nad happened to Pardo and they were concious of the change, yet could point to no definite symptoms. He was alâ€" ways somewhat unfathomable and his Intervals of gloom were apt to engulf him like cloud and obscure him from them: but out of these he would usualâ€" ly emerge in riotous spirits and take his unconscious place as the mental stimulus of the others.

"Freedom cannot be bought" said Mr. Neame, "and is leased only so long as the ‘"rent‘" is paid. This rent, he said was: Order and respect for law; use of restraint and selfâ€"discipline; . every holider of the franchise must use his vote; to take citizenship as a public and personal affair; to defend our freeâ€" dom as a duty, from enemy without or within.
