Nei- ther of them had seen the British isles in two years or more. “Haven’t I beentthere. old chap? A year or more? It’s a rotten big place where gentlemen aspire to sell gloves and hankerchiets and needlework over the shop counters. You know. Tam. I could well aflord to starve. and I wouldn’t sell things. so 1 came away. But it's no island.” ' “Well, that's neither here nor there.

Jack Wyckholme. gentleman's son and ne’er-do-well, possessed £9 and a frac- tion, an appetite and excellent spirits. while Taswell Skaggs exhibited a bal- ance of £1,000 in a Shanghai bank. a fairly successful trade in Celestial ne- cessities and an unbounded eagerness to change his luck. “I have a prOposltion to make to you, Tazzy," said Mr. Wyckbolme late in the night. As the outcome of this midnight preposition Tasweil Skaggs and John Wyckholme arrived two months later at the tiny island of Japat, somewhere south of the Arabian sea. there to re- main until their dying days and there to accumulate the wealth which gave the first named a chance to make 'an extraordinary will. For thirty years they lived on the island of Japat. Wyckholme preceded Skaggs to the grave by two winters, and he willed his share of everything to his partner of thirty years’ standing. But there was a proviso in Wyckholme’s he- qnest. just as there was in that of Skaggs. Each had made his will some fifteen years or more before death, and each had bequeathed his fortune to the survivor. At the death of the sur- vivor the entire property was to go to the grandchild of each testator, with certain reservations to be mentioned later on. each having by investigation discovered that he possessed a single grandchild. “I think I’ll listen to it, Jackie.” re- plied Mr. Skaggs. quite soberly. The island of Japat had been the home of a Mohammedan race. the out- growth ot Arabian adventurers who had fared far from home many years before Wyckholme happened upon the island by accident. It was a British possession, and there were two or three thousand inhabitants. ail Mohammed- ans.

A revolution was hum:- nent. whereupon the owners organ- ized the entire population into a great stock company. retaining four-fifths of the property themselves. This seemed to be a satisfactory arrangement. de- spite the fact that some of the men- wariike leaders were diflicult to ap- pease.

'1‘ appears that the Ila-rt Skaggs and Wycltholme as their dual career drew to a close set about to learn what had become of their daughters. In- vestigation proved that Wyckbolme’s daughter had married a London artist named Rnthven. The Ruthvens in turn had one child. a daughter. Wycli- bolme’s wife and his daughter died when this grandchild was eight or ten years old. By last Wp-bi‘l the grand- child was living with her father in London. She was :l pz'vliy yuung W0- - _. ..__._- ‘ Skaggs seldom went from one part of his home to another without a guide. It was so vast and so laby- rinthine that he feared he might be- come lost forever. The dungeon be.- low the chateau and the moat with its bridges were the especial delight of these lonely. romantic old chaps. One of the builders of this rare pile was now sleeping peacefully in the sarcophagus beneath the chapel; the other was lying dead and undiscovered in the very heart of his possessions. The magnificent plans of the part- ners would have been a glorious trib- ute to romance had it not been for one fatal obstacle. The trouble was that young Miss Ruthven and young Mr. Browne did not know that their grandfathers lived. much less that they owned an island in the south seas. Therefore it is quite natural that they could not have known they were expected to marry each other. Wyckholme held to his agreement with Slings: by bequeathiug his share of the property to him. but it was definitely set forth that at the death of his partner it was to go to Agnes Buthven. the grandchtldâ€"wlth reser- rations. man. with scores at admirers on hands and a very lave! head on shoulders. Skaggs found that his daughter. who married Browne. the American. like- wise had died. but that she had left behind a son and heir. This son. Rob- ert Browne. was in school when the joint will was designed. and he was to have Skaggs’ fortune at the death of Wyckholme in case that worthy sur- vived. In order to keep the business and the property intact and under the per- petual control of one partnership the granddaughter of Wyckholme was to marry the grandson of Skaggs within the year after the death of the sur- viving partner. The penalty to be im- posed upon them it the conditions were not complied with. neither to be excusable for the detection of the other. lay in the provision that the whole industry and its accumulated fortune, including the land (and they owned practicallv the entire island). were to go to tne islanders. Wyck- holme named Sir John Allencrombie as one executor, and Skazgs selected Alfred Bowen of Boston as the other. . As Wyckboltne was the first to die. Skaggs became sole owner of the is- land and its treasures. and it was he who made the final will in accordance with the original plans. The island of Japat. with its jewels and its ancient chateau. of modern construction. represented several mil- lion pounds sterling. Wyckholme's dream of erecting an exact replica of a famous old chateau found response in the equally whimsical Skaggs. who constantly bemoaned the fact that it was impossible to spend money. For five years after its completion the two old men, with an army of Arabian re- tainers and Nubian slaves. lived like oriental potentates in the huge struc- ture on the highlands overlooking the sea.
