There was a third possiblifty--ihat she might suggest continuing th. journey on wy 'donkey, and leaving me to lead the lame one back home: but to that I was ready with the™unanswerable ob- jectioh that she did pot know the way. ~~ "It was a pretty situation, and 1 was curfous fo see' how she would meet it.

We conversed lightly, psrhaps even at times bril- lantly, for about twenty minutes, and then just when I was in the midst of working out a pretty fancy in meaa- phors for her delectation, and thought that she was honoring me with her most alert attention, with the purpose of capping my effort {I she- could, she electrified m3 by putting a question whica had nothing at all to do wih what I was saying.

'Does Our Mr. Montague consider that he 1s working his commission of de- lay with surprising ease and success? Or did he despise his antagonist so much that he anticipated that success would be easy?

"In either case we are wasting by staying here?" "Shouldn't wonder," calmly. "But we must girls anyway. What covered?" Scarborough Scotchwoman "Then '1 tell you what," said Var- ney. "When the girls come, we'll have that meal you've brdered for us, and then we'll ride back to the Casa Davis to hear how the photographic experiment has turned out. We éan't go chasing Gillies aimlessly about the island of San Miguel, because ' we don't know which way he's gone: but if Davis has managed to interpret the message on the scratched stone, we shall have something to guide us. If the stone tells us where to go. we'll go there, and 1 hope' we won't find that Gillies is before us." "Why should he be? know about the stohe." "No, but maybe the stolen plan wasn't quite so indefinite as Mrs. Car rington says it was. It is since he has had 'it in his possession that he has ceased to. work 'here.

I'll look after the other two." "Thanks, old man," said Varney, brightening at once. "I'll take 'ven at that!" Half an hour later tho girls arrived, and when they heard what Scarbor ough had learned at the. inn, they agreed that Varney's proposal wad the right one. Hewever, when they were on the point of remounting their ma- chines to ride back to Casa Davis, Mons, pointed with an exclamation to a figure that was limping down the hill towards them. "It's Val B.!" she' cried. what has become of Mrs. ton?" "I think he's hurt". sald ough, anxiously. "I'll ride meet him."

Whe- ther I go to 'the picnic or no, will de- pend a good deal upon him, I fancy. ""You are going to make him an offer for the hire of his donkey for the Cay? 1 said. But I knew well enough that 'the remark was foolish. "She glanced at me through half closed lids. '""His name is Andrew Gillies,' she said. 'Do you know him? #"Then, as thought to complete my humiliation, she told me exactly what she had done and what she meant to do. She did not even pay me the com- pliment of -egarding me as an antag. onist from whom it would be advis- | able to conceal information. 1 had thought that my fanciful eloquence had impressed her! 1 see now that she had been laughing at me all the time, and I think she regarded me as & somewhat foolish windbag. You will understand that I found that suf- ficiently galling. "It seems that a few minutes after Mr. Scarborough and the two ladies left the Chinelas, Mrs. Carrington, who had been wakeaed by the crunch- Ing of their _ootsteps on the gravel, got up and looked out from her win- dow. She saw a man in the garden, and he saw her at the window, He took a note from his pocket, held it up for her to see, and then laid it on * a garden seat in full view from where | she was standing. Thea he went away. The man was Andrew Gillies, and she told me that he had in ull probability been waiting in the gar- den in concealment for a long time, hoping for a chance of delivering the letter. You three, by your early start, gave him the opportuuity sooner than he had hoped. : "Without waiting to dress, she threw on an and went for the letter.
