J3 Thus, for a little wnne, tuese ivru were driven apart, and Anstruther disflained to urge the plea that not many weeks would elape before he would be a richer man than bis rival. The chief sufferer was Sir Arthur Deane. Had Iris guessed how her father was tormented she would not have remained on the bridge, radiant and mirthful, while the gray haired baronet gazed

; ylth stony eyed despair at some memoI v randa which be extracted from his paj ("Ten thousand pounds" he muttered. -rjNot a great sum for the millionaire ' 'financier, Sir Arthur Deane, to raise on his note of hand. A few months ago men offered me one hundred times the

amount on no better security. And now to think that a set of jabbering fools In London should so destroy my credit and their own; that not a bank will discount our paper unless they ere assured Lord Venfhor has joined foe board!" fancy me,' of all men, being willing to barter my child for a few pieces of gold!" The thought was maddening. For a little while he yielded to utter despondency. It was quite true that a comparatively small amount of money would restore the stability of his firm. Even without it, were his credit unimpaired, he could easily tide over the period of

2 depression until the .first fruits of his enterprise were garnered. Then all : --77-men would hail him as a genius.

Wearily turning over his" papers, he suddenly came across the last letter written to him by Iris' mother. How j, ehe doted on their only child! He re pealled one night shortly before his wife died when the little Iris was brought L Into her room to kiss her and lisp her

Tnfantile prayers. She had devised a formula of her own: "God bless- father! God bless mother! . God bless me, their little girl!" "" And what was it she cried to him from the beach ? , ' Yoar own little girl given back to your

rri- Given back to him! For what to .GC marry that black hearted scoundrel rhnaA nnattmo wn the lrrrlntirn of

Tl jwomen and the defaming of honest

men? That . settled it." Instantly , the cloud was lifted from his soul." A great peace came upon him. The ruin of his business. he might not be able to avert, but he would save from the wreck that which he prized more than all else, his daughter's love. The engines dropped to half speed. They were entering the harbor of SinX " lTPOe. n few hours the worst f would be over. If iVentnor telegraphed to London'1 his withdrawal from the board nothing short of a cabled draft for 10,000 would prevent certain cred- - Itors from filing; a bankruptcy petition. In the local' banks the baronet had tbout a thousand to his credit. Surely

21ithtr f who knew the potentialities of his

money needed. He would try hard. Already he felt braver. The old fire bad returned ..to hJs. Jblqod. Tbevery bellef that' he"' ifraW' acting In:th:way best calculated to secure his daugh-

iged bim. He went on deck, to meet Iris skipping down the hatchway. "Oh, there you are!" she cried. "I was just coming to find out why you were moping in your cabin. You are missing the most beautiful view all greens and blues and browns! Run, 3 snick! I want you to see every inch f it." y,i She held out her hand and pulled

him gleefully up the steps. Leaning , against the taffrail, some distance 00 If apart from each other, were Anstruthtr and Lord Ventnor. Need it be laid to whom Iris drew her father? .1 - ' "Here he is, Robert," she laughed. "I do believe he was sulking because

? Captain Fitzroy was so yery attentive to me. Yet you didn't mind it a bit!" The two men looked into each other's eyes. They smiled. How could they resist the contagion of her sunny nature? "I have been thinking over what you jatd to me just now, Anstruther," said the shipowner slowly. "Oh!" cried Iris, "nave you two Sfteen talking secrets behind my back?" "It Is no secret to you, my little f$rY' Her father's voice lingered on the phrase. "When we are on shore, Robert. I will explain matters to you more fully. Just now I wish only to tell you that where Iris has given her .heart, I will not refuse her hand." 1 She took his face between her hands g.ind kissed him. Lord Ventnor, wonMering at this effusiveness, strolled forward. "What has happened. Miss Deane?" he inquired. "Have you just discovered what an excellent parent you possess?" The baronet laughed almost hystericilly. " Ton my honor," he cried, "you fouki not have hit upon a happier explanation." His lordship was not quite satisfied. "1 suppose you will take Iris to ajnith's hotel?" he said, with cool im pudence. -Iris answered him. "Yes. My father has iust asked Rob-

L' ertto come with us by inference, that Jt Is. Where are ypu going?"

I The adroit use of her lover's Christian

heat. "Indeed!" he snarled. "Sir Arthur Deane has evidently decided a good many things during the last hour." . a, v , .

( y retort. "I have decided that my daugh

ter's happiness should be the chief conideratio: tyrf pif remaining years. Allj t give way to it." j else must The earl's swarthy face grew sallow with fury. His eyes blazed, and there was a tense vibrato in his voice as he said: "Then I must congratulate you, Miss Deane. You are fated to endure "ad: ventures. Having escaped frm'ctlie melodramatic perils of Rainbow island you are destined to experience another variety of shipwreck, here." He left them. Not a word had Robert spoken throughout-the unexpected

scene, ms near? was xroDoing mm a tremendous joy, and his lordship's

sneers were lost on him. But he could not fall to note the malignant purpose of the parting sentence. In his nuietly masterful way he llaced his hand on the baronet's shoul der. "What did lArfi. Ventnor mean? he asked. Sir Arthur Deane answered, with a calm smile: "It is difficult to talk openly at this moment. Wait until we reach the hotel." The news flew fast through the set tlement that her majesty's ship Orient had returned from her long search for the Sirdar. .The warship occupied- her usual anchorage, and a boat was low ered to take off the passengers. The boat svung off into the tideway. Her progress shoreward was watched by a small knot of people, mostly loungers and coolies. 'Among them, however, wew two persons who had driven rapidly to the landing place when the arrival of the Orient was reported. One bore all the distinguishing marks of the rmy officer of high rank, but the othT was unmistakably a globe trotter. The older gentleman made no pretense that he could "hear the east a-callin'." He swore impar tially at the climate, fhe place and its Inhabitants. At this Instant he was In a state of wild excitement. He was very tall, very stout, exceedingly red faced. Producing t tremendous telescope he vainly endeavored to balance it on the shoulder of a native servant. "Can't you stand still, you blithering Idiot," he' shouted, after futile attempts to foco' th? advancing boat, "or shall I steady yci with a clout over the sar?" His companion, the army man, was looking thrcrigh a pair of field glasses. "By Jove, he cried, "I can see Sir Arthur Deaue and a girl who looks like his daughter! There's that Infernal scamp, Ventnor, too. The big man brushed the servant out of his way and brandished the tele scope as thowgh it were a bludgeon "The dirty beggar! He drove my lad to misery ami death, yet he has come back safe and sound. Wait till I meet him. 111" "Now, Anstruther! Remember your proiuise. I will deal with Lord Ventnor. My vengeance has first claim. What! By the jumping Moses, I do believe Yes. It is. . Anstruther! Your nephew Is sitting next ' to the girl!" The telescope fell on the stones with a crash. The giant's rubicund face suddenly blanched. He leaned on his friend for support. "You are not mistaken?" he almost whimpered. "Look again, for God's sake, man! Make sure before you speak. Tell me! Tell me!" "Calm yourself, Anstruther. It is Robert, as sure as I'm alive. Don't you think I know him, my poor disgraced friend, whom I, like the rest, cast off in his hour of trouble? But I had some excuse. There! There! I didn't mean that, old fellow. Robert himself will be tAe last man to blame either of us. Who could have suspected that two peop&i one of them, God help me, my wif would concoct such a hellish plot!" T- boat glided gracefully alongside the steps of the quay.' and riaydon sprans aceny ashore to help Iris to alight. What happened immediately afterward can best be told in his own words, as he retailed the story to an "ppiciative.aiidience itt ttie wardroom. "We had just landed," he said, "and some of the crew were pushing the coolies out of the way when two men junped down the steps, and a most fiendish row sprang up that is, there was no dispute or wrangling, but one chap, who, it turned out, was Colonel C"stobell,. grabbed Ventnor by the shirt front and threatened to smash his face in if he didn't listen then and thre to what he bad to say. I really thought about interfering until I heard Colonel Costobell's opening words. After that I would gladly have seen the beggar chucked iito the harbor. We never liked him, did we?" "Ask no questions, Fompey, but go ahead with the yarn," growled the first lieutenant "Well, it seems that Mrs. Costobell is dead. Bhe got enteric a week after the Orient sailed and was a goner in four dayft. Before she died ste owned up" He paused, with a base eye to effect. Not a man moved a muscle. "AK right," he cried. "I will make no more false starts. Mrs. Costobell begged her husband's forgiveness for hsr treatment of him and confessed that she and Lord Ventnor planned the affair for which An6truther was tried by court martial. It must have been a beastly business, for Costobell was sweating with rage, though his words were icy enough. And you ought to have seen Ventnor's face when he heard of the depositions, sworn to end signed by Mrs. Costobell and by several Chinese servants whom he bribed to riye false evidence. He promised to marry -Mrs. Costobell if her husband died, or, In any event, to bring about a divorce when the Hongkong affair had blown over. Then she learned that he was after Miss Iris, and there is no doubt her fury helped on the fever. Costobell said that, for his wife's sake, he would have kept the wretched thing secret, but he was compelled to clear Anstruther's name, especially as he came across the other old Johnnie" "Fompey, you are incoherent with excitement. Who is 'the other old Johnnie? " asked the first luff severely. "Didn't I tell you? Why, Anstruther's uncle, of course, a heavy old swell with just a touch of Yorkshire in his tongue. I gathered that he disinherited his nephew when the news of the court martial reached him. Then, he relented and cabled to him. Getting no news, he came east to look for him. He met Costobell the day after the lady died, and the two vowed to be revenged on Ventnor and to clear An struther's character, living or dead. Poor' old chap! ne cried like a baby when he asked the younsster to for give him. It was quite touching. "Well. Costobell shook Ventnor off at last, with the final observation that Anstruther's court martial has been quashed. The next batch of general orders will reinstate him, inline regiment, and it rests with him to decide whether or not a criminal warrant shall be Issued against his lordship for conspiracy." "What did Miss Deane do?" "Clone to Anstrctber like a weeping

angel and kissed everybody all rcrana when Ventnor got away. Well hands off. I mean her father, Anstruther and

the stouf uncle." Unfortunately I was not on in that scene. But for some rea son they all nearly wrung my arm off, and the men were so excited that they gave the party a rousing cheer as their -.-II .-.. BlnKnnA" The next commotion arose-rn thejpr tel when Sir Arthur Deane seized the first opportunity to explain the predic ament in which his company was placed and the blow which Lord Vent nor yet had it in his power to deal. Mr. Wiiliam Anstruther was an in terested r auditor..' ' Roberto would have spoken, but his uncle restrained him. "Leave thi3 to me, lad,' ne ex claimed. "When I was coming here in the Sirdar there was a lot of talk about Sir Arthur's scheme, and there should not be much difficulty in raising all the brass required if half what I heard be true. Sit you down, Sir Ar thur, and tell us all about it." The shipowner required no second bidding. With the skill for which he was noted he described his operations in detail, telling how every farthing of the first Installments of the two great loans was paid up, how the earnings of his fleet would quickly overtake the deficit In capital value caused by the loss of the three ships and how in six months time the leading financial houses of London, Paris and .Berlin would be offering him more money than he would need. To a shrewd man of business the project could not fail to commend it self, and the Yorkshire squire, though a trifle obstinate In temper, was singularly clear headed in other respects. He brought his great fist down on the table with a whack. 'Send a cable to your company. Sir Arthur," he cried, "and tell them that your prospective son-in-law will pro vide the 10,000 you require. I will see that his draft is honored. You can add, if you like, that another ten will be ready if wanted when this lot is spent. I did my lad one deuced bad turn in my life. This time, I think, I am doing him a good one." 'You are, Indeed." said Iris' father enthusiastically. "The unallotted capi tal he is taking up will be worth four times its face value in two years.' AH the more reason to make his holding twenty instead of ten," roared the Yorkshireman. "But, look here. You talk about dropping proceedings against that precious earl whom I saw today. Why not tell him not to try any funny tricks until Robert's money is safely lodged to your ac count u e nave mm in our power. Dash it all, let us use him a bit." Even Iris laughed at this naive sug. gestion. It was delightful to think that their arch enemy was actually helping the baronet's affairs at that very moment and would continue to do so until he was flung aside as being of no further value. Although Ventnor himself had carefuly avoided any formal commitment, the cablegrams awaiting the shipowner at Singapore showed that confidence had already been restored by the uncontradicted use of his. lordship's name. Robert at last obtained a hearing. "You two are quietly assuming the attitude of the financial magnates of this gathering," he said. "I must ad mit that you have managed things very well between you, and I do not propose for one moment to interfere with your arrangements. Nevertheless, Iri and' I are rcally'the chief mpnyed persons present. ' Yon 'spoke of finan cial houses in England and on the con tinent backing up your loans six months hence, Sir Arthur. You need not go to them. We will be your bankers." The baronet laughed with a whole hearted gayety that revealed whence Iris got some part at least of her bright disposition. , "Will you sell your island, Robert?" he cried. "I am afraid that not even Iris could wheedle any one into buying it." "But, father, dear," interrupted the girl earnestly, "what Robert says is true. " We have a gold mine there. It is worth so much that you will hardly believe it until there can no longer be any doubt in your mind. I suppose that is why Robert asked me not to mention his discovery to you earlier." "No, Iris, that was not the reason," said her lover, and the elder men felt that more than idle fancy inspired the astounding intelligence that they had just heard. "Your love was more to me tbaiyall the gold in the world. I had won you. I meant to keep you, but I refused to buy yoa"li;e ; He turned to her father. r,.Hs pentnp emotion . mastered him, and he spoke as one who could no longer restrain his feelings. "I have had no chance to thank you for the words you uttered at the moment we quitted the ship. Yet I will treasure them while life lasts. Y'ou gave Iris to me when I was poor, disgraced, an outcast from my family and my profession. And I know why you did this thing. It was because you valued her happiness more than riches-or reputation. I am sorry now I did not explain matters earlier. It would have saved you much needless suffering. But the sorrow has sped like .an evil dream, and you will perhaps not regret it, for your action today binds me to you with hoops of steel. And you, too, uncle. You traveled thousands of miles to help and comfort me in my anguish. Were I as bad as. 'I was painted your kind old heart still pitied me. You were prepared to pluck me from the depths of despair and degradation. Why should I hate Lord Ventnor? What man could have served me as he did? - He has given me Iris. He gained for me at her father's hands a concession such as mortal has seldom wrested from black browed fate. He brought my nncle to my side in the hour of my adversity. Hate him! I would have his statue carved in marble and set on high to tell all who passed how good may spring out of evil how God's wisdom cam manifest itself by putting even the creeping and crawling things of the earth, to some useful purpose." "Dash it all, lad." vociferated the elder Anstruther, "what ails thee? I never heard you talk like this before?" ... The old gentleman's amazement was so comical that further tension was out of the question. Robert, in calmer mood, informed them of the manner in which be hit upon the mine. The story sounded like wildest romance this finding of a volcanic dvke ruarded bv the bones of

but the production of the ore samples changed wonder into certainty. Next day a government metallurgist estimated the value of the contents of the two oil tins at about 500, yet the specimens brought from the island were not by any means the richest I """"u"c- . . . . . . . " - A tell of Rainbow Island and its cast aways. On the day that Captain Robert Anstruther's name appeared in the Gazette, reinstating him to his "Siveetlieart," mid her husband. rank and regiment, Iris and he were married in the English church at Hong kong, for it was his wife's wish that the place which witnessed his igno miny should also witness his triumph Soon afterward Robert resigned his commission. lie regretted the neces sit-, but the demands of his newsphere in life rendered this step inv perative. Mining engineers, laborers stores, portable houses, engines and equipment were obtained with all haste, and the whole party sailed on one of Sir Arthur Deanc's. ships to con voy a small steamer specially hired tc attend to the wants of the miners. At last, one evening early in July the two vessels anchored outside Palm Tree rock, and Mir Jau could be secu running frantically about the shore for no valid reason save that he couki not stand still. The sahib brought him good news. The governor of Hong kong felt that any reasonable requesi made by Anstruther should be granted if possible. He had written such si strong representation of the Moham modan's caee to the government of In dia that there was little doubt the re turning mail would convey an officii; notification that Mir Jan had booi granted a free pardon. The mining experts verified Robert' most sanguine views after a A'ery brio examination of the deposit.

"When we all come back in the colt' weather," he explained gleefully, "wi wiiiot imitate the Sirdar by running onto the reef should we arrive by night." Iris answered not. Her blue eyes were fixed on the fast receding cliffs. "Sweetheart," said - her husband. why are you so silent?" She turned to him. The light of the setting sun illumined her face with its golden radiance. Because I am so happy," she said. Oh. Robert, dear, so happy and thankful!" THE TTXD.

THE MAIN QUESTION. In the pleasant autumn weather. When the leaves begin to glow And the forest looks as brilliant As the lady lri the show. Sweetly we commune with natur Feeding- on her wealth our soul As we wonder how In thunder We can buy our winter's coal. In a mass of gold and yellow Hang the leaves upon the tree Or to earthward softly flutter On the light. Impulsive breeze. As we view the living poem. Done In smooth, artistic rhyme. It's distressing to be guessing Can we buy our coal on time. In the fastness of the forest Is a mass of color blurred That one couldn't catch on canvas. Though the artist was a bird. Far from noisy haunts of commerce. From the grim and smoky town, But the haunting thought keeps 1 flaunting Will the ccal go up or down? ferown and yellow blend with crimson. And the treetops are aflame. In a brilliant conflagration Putting fireworks to shame. But the waste seems almost sinful As the leaves begin to turn, For the falling year Is calling For substantial coal to burn. Made Him Feel Natural. 'ixlWE .

Home For the Friendless. Isn't there a fine chance for adven turous spirits to capture some small but exceedingly tight island and provide on it a home for embezzlers who are having a hard time these days to get some country to adopt them that doesn't have extradition laws patrolling the borders looking for suspicious characters with fat rolls bulging out thfir bin norkfts? As thfK rotund crooks usuallv carrv I away large enougu waas to enaDie them to pay big board bills the venture should be a profitable one. They could sit there In the balmy breeze, under a rented vine and fig tree, and embezzle against each other, to their heart's content and not get heart failure every time they saw a sail looming up on the horizon. Those who have never looted a bank or played the races with a trust fund little know the crying need there is for such a haven of ref uge. Needed Them.
