"Is it hot enough for that?" | "A few degrees below boiling por Put your hand in and see." L "No, thanks. Ill take your word for it. That's the cheapest kind of whole sale cooking I ever heard of." "Food needs to be cheap in a coun- try. where sixpense is a good day's wage," said Scarborough. "Fortun: ately\ijy is cheap. The lupin grows like a Weed; steeping in the sea pick les the beans; and the Caldeira cooks them. Our friend there probably comes hére every day. It's his trade." "Then he may have seen something of what happened ysterday," suggested. Varney. "Ask him. You speak Por tuguese." i The man had flung his sack across the donkey's back, and seated himself on the'top of it. His seat was a hot and wet-vne but he seemed to find it comfortable. He relit his cigarette and urged his beast towards the narrow en- trance between the walls of pumice. Scarborough approached him, and the man, with 'the real politeness of the Islanders, jum to the ground and took his hat off. ""Bonas dias, senhiores," he said. Scarborough returned his greeting, and asked whether he had heard any- thing of a dead man having been found there this morning. "Sim, senhor," was the answer. was I who found him." Then he went on to describe the episode with voluble earnestness and & wealth of dramatic gesture. The finding of a dead man was an event in his life, and he had the histrionic ability to make the most of his share in the occurrence. He entered into the explanations not only of what he bad done in this alarming crisis, but also, minutely and comprehensively, of what he had thought. He explained that his first impulse had been to carry the news to the Corregidor at Ribeira Grande; for few Portuguese will touch a dead man, or help a cying man, until officialdom has given the word, for fear lest, if foul play has been done, they may be summoned as accomplices. The peasantry have a firm belief that the last hand which touches. a dying man, is by the law of the .land presumed to be the hand "which gave him death; and it is a be- lief which in ong well authenticated instance left a man who had been in- jured on the railway, a few miles from Coimbra, the intellectual capital of Portugal, to lie unaided through the heat of a long summer's day. He was conscious, and able to beg for water. But no one dared to give him any, for the Corregidor had been summoned, and nothing could be done till he came. And this is not an isolated case. But this Azorean peasant explained, "It and took pride in explaining, that he bad risen superior to this fear. "I helped to carry him," he proudly. "You helped? alone?" "I was alone at first, but I went to the Casa Davis, which is near here, and summoned the Senhor Davis. We carrigd the dead man to Senhor Davis's cart, which walted at the end of the gorge, and Senhor Davis drove him to the house which is called As Chinelas. I did not go with him. I had done enough, for, Senhores, the Corregidor had not said that the body was to be moved." "What is he saying?" asked Varne: in English. "He is claiming to be a hero because he dared to touch a corpse," said Scar- borough: and to the man added: "Was that all?" < "What does the Senhor mean?' "Did you see anything which sug- gested how the dead man met his death?" ) "1, -Senor? No! Senhor susper. me?" "I don't shspect you," said"Scarbor- ough, rather impatiently. "l only want to know what you saw. - You say you saw nothing?" A gleam came into the man's eye. He hesitated a moment, and then he sald cunpingly: "I am a poor man, Senhor. A poor man cannot afford to keep his eyes so wide open as richer men may. I say that I saw nothing." + Bcarborough put his hand in bis pocket hnd pulled put a miireis wute. "Think again," he said quietly. "Were your eves quite shut?" "No, Senhor, not quite" said the Azorean. . nN "What did you see?" "I saw that the fingers of the dead man's right hand were tightly closed. There was something in the hand. I opened the fingers gently. It was only a flat stone with some scratches on it." "Have you got the stone?" hi "Sim, Senhor. It 1s a thing of no value. I keep it to remind me of the tragic affair in which I assisted this mo: : "A poor bean-seller's life is uneventful, Senhor." ° "I will buy it trom you," sald Scar "Two milreis." said Then you were not Why should the i" he' sald insinuatingly, "Very well, five." ; The bean-seller prroduced the stone and gave it to Scarborough. It was, as he ®ald, a small flat stone, about three inches square. It was covered with the white incrustation caused by the Caldeira water,' and there - were marks on it where something had been written in pencil.

The Hooded Woman "i you want my eplnion," said Mr. Davis, when he had heard what Scar woman in ir." His daughter, who was standing be hind him, exchanged a quiet glance with the two young men, and €hrug ged hep slioulders slightly. She was a" dainty little blonde, with big eyes which tried to look earnest, and man- aged to look dreamy. i "That's what you always say, fa- ther," she said. "Well, yes, Muriel," he admitted, smiling. "I befieve it is a somewhat frequent remark of mipe. Generally true, too." Muriel frowned, "I dont see-why you should sMppose that a woman had anything to do with it," she insisted. "No? But you will find that, usual, I shalt turn out to be right." Mr. Davis backed this confidént judgment with the ghost of a wink to Varney, and laughed. The discussion which threaténed was one which fre quently arose in. this household; for Muriel, having spent the thinking years of her life--not, as yet, a very long one--in the seclugion of a lonely pine-apple quinfa, was an aggressive disputant, and made up by the violence of her views on the wrongs of her sex for her total lack of practical knowledge of her subject. Her daily life from the time she was fourteen had been almost conventual 'in its simplicity; she had had no opportunity of Verifying by the observation of ac tualities the opinions which she held 80 strongly: therefore she was never troubled with doubts. If there was another side to the question, her favor- ite novels cid wot teach it, and no one had ever made lier see it. To be per- fectly frank, ny one had ever seriously tried, except her father, and his ef "forts were chiefly aimed at drawing her out. He opposed her, for the sake of seeing her eyes lose their dreamy look in a flash of temper, and her color rise with indignation: and when lie had enticed her into saying some- thing sufficiently cutting - about the folly and brutality of men, he usually chuckled and owned meekly that she was right. He was almost absurdly proud of his fanatical little daughter. Varney did not know that this ex- ercise was part of the daily routine at the pineapple quinta, and was enjoyed by both father and- daughter; conse- quently he was inclined to be angry at that wink. For Muriel Davis was very pretty "If you mean," he said, "that. there Is a woman at the boftom of most of the good deeds that are done in the world, 1 am ready to agree with you." "And Muriel will agree with 'vou, and think you are a very sensible fellow," sald My Davis, laughing. "But 1 meant there is a woman in every Liece of mischief that is dome, ang always will be--this side of the Golden River! And I won't say that the same state of things mayn't obtain on the other side, t00!"" he added, chuckling ith "Have you any reason for (hinkiig that there is a. woman iu this case?" said Scarborough. He knew the ten- dency of all discussion at the Casa Davis, and experiefice told him that, if he was to get any useful information, both father and daughter would have to be kept to the point. "Yes," said Mr. Davis. "Father means that Le has the sanie reason that he usually has" opined Muriel, "You know how prejudiced he is." . Scarborough made a slight move ment of impatience, and Mr. Davis noted it. He became grave at once. "You are quite right," Xe said an- swering Scarborough's glance.
