about Mrs. Halliday, so for your com-
fort I'll say that we've parted com-
pany. It was a queer coincidence our |
taking the same boat; but she’s stop- |
ping at Port Antonio, and my work |
will keep me at Kingston for the)
present. So don’t worry about your |
wandering boy. You wouldn't if you
knew how constantly he thinks of
you, and what a sinner he feels to
enjoy things so tremendously when
you aren't with him,

Gay. I'm like a man going about
minus an arm or leg. That may not

CHAPTER XVII.—Continued

On the day when the boat dropped
anchor in Port Antonio, Nick was up
with the dawn. One glance through
his porthole had driven him out of
bed, in order not to miss a moment
of the enchanted scene. Mountains,
purple and hazy in the background—

sound but if you'll stop to
analyze it you'll see how necessary |
you are to me—you and our precious |
itttle boys. I'm conscious of missing
something all the time.

Yes it was doing him good — the,
change. Gay saw that in his letters, |
which breathed of his old buoyancy.
He wrote a page or two each day,
and mailed them whenever a boat

palm-covered hillsides dotted with
red-roofed huts or houses—hedges of
flaming hibiscus—sapphire skies, and
water as blue as turquoise. The
tropics!

Early'though it was, boys with
shining black bodies were.swimming
about in the water, as much at home
there as were the fishes that kept
them company. On shore were wo-
men, carrying huge baskets on their
heads, or hung with gaily colored
beads to sell to the tourists who would
soon land.

The warm air—the rich coloring of
the landscape—its very difference
from the ice-clad New England he
had left behind, caught Nick’s imag-
ination, and held it spellbound. If Gay
were only with him! Sudden regret
flooded through him—regret that she
could not see it—that she was not
here to share his joy in these strange,
new sights. Share it he must witb
someone, or——

“It's fairyland, isn’t it?” said An-
gela, her shoulder brushing his as she
joined him at the rail.

She had approached so quietly that
Nick heard no footstep, but he turned,
throwing her a glance of unadulter-
ated rapture—not rapture at her own
charm, which was indeed great, but
at the scene before them, and at
“Life,” which had given him this
chance to drink of it.

“It's a dream come true,’’ he ans-
wered. “I feel inclined to pinch my-
self, just to be sure that I am “I.” I
envy you the weeks you'll have here,
Angela.” (It had become “Nick” and
“Angela” during those days of in-
timacy on the boat). “Kingston, I be-
lieve, is more of a city. However, I’ve
got today to revel in it.”

“Will you let me revel with you?”

“That will be bully, if your friends
will let you off.”

She laughed softly, not thinking it |

necessary to explain that her friends
were wholly {innocent of her arrival.

“They'll have to. We'll go for a
drive, Nick—nire one of those ridicu-
lous darkeys to take us you know.
It’s not as new to me as it is to you.
I came here with Mr. Halliday five
years ago. Shall we wait for break-
fast on the boat, or go ashore and
get it at the fiotel?”

“Let's go ashore. I can't wait an-
other minute to begin exploring.”

It's all too wonderful to be true,

was going. Gay did the same, relat-
jing the home doings with the skill of
a real story-teller, repeating the
funny sayings of the children, and
the quaint remarks of Uncle Sim, in)
a way that brought them very near
to the absent one.

But she did not mention Angela
Halliday. Nick noticed the omission,
and put it down to forgetfulness until
other letters also ignored the meet-
ing. He knew then that Gay had pur-
posely refrained from writing of it.

“She didn’t like it,” he puzzled,
“yet she can't be jealous. That would
be too absurd. Perhaps she just
couldn't say anything pleasant on the
subject so she said nothing. That
would be like Gay—bless her dear
heart! Still, I wish she'd spoken of it.
Makes me feel sort of uncomfortable.
She might at least have mentioned
the coincidence of our meeting.”

As for Halliday, he had turned the
key on the Boston apartment and
gone back to Bakersville.
Thursdays and Sundays, when Julie
was off duty, he and little Martha
had supper with the household across
the hedge. To him, at least, Gay

said; while Halliday answered: “And
equally nice for Mrs. Halliday.”

Each was almost too obylously say-
ing the correct thing. Uncle Sim, his
shrewd old eyes watching them,
gruntetl, and taking out his pipe ask-
ed Halliday for a light.

Things were going through Uncle
Sim's mind these days which vaguely
troubled him. One was the look in
James Halliday’s eyes as they watch-
ed Gay mothering little Martha. It
had become a habit for the child to
run over after her early supper, and
share the bedtime story Gay told her
boys. They made a pretty picture,
thought Uncle Sim. No wonder Halli-

of the hills they discovered the ruins |
of a cabin that may have been the |
one described to the Montana priest
by Lemon when he told of his secret |
hoard and confessed to the treacher-
ous killing of “Black Jack,” his part-|
ner. There {s no explanation for the
existence of the ruined hut other than
it was the home of a prospector 30
or 40 years ago, Its existence was
not known until discovery was made
by the group or prospectors.

The collapsed walls of the hut are
considerably decayed and have evi-
dently subsided gradually upon their |
original site with the passing of the
seasons. |

For a variety of reasons, the prin-
cipal one being the desirability of not

John Hornby, British Diplomat, Pre-
ferred Solitude To Society

John Hornby, who gave up a bril-
liant career in the British diplomatic
service to live a hermit's life in the
barren lands of the Canadian North-
west, died because he hated society. |
A companion of Hornby for a year in

| his voluntary snowland exile, Capt.

James C. Critchell-Bullock, veteran
British soldier, described him as the
“hermit of the Arctic.”

It was three years after Critchell- |
Bullock departed from the Far North |
that Hornby, Adlard and Christian
died of starvation in 1927. Their
deaths took place so far from ‘civiliz-

|ation that it took Royal Canadian

Mounted Police 26 months to bring

|out the bodies.
A little man, no taller than five-|

foot-four, Hornby was a man who
“could run 100 miles, starve like a

gentleman, and, finally, dig his own)

grave in advance, with everything
prepared so that he could enclose
himself in it before all his
strength left him.” That was Critch-
ell-Bullock’s tribute to the once pol-
ished diplomat of London, England.

“But he hated society and actually
starved to death for that reason,”
the captain said,
