come, but asked after the fourth of
their company and expressed sorrow
to learn of his untimely end.
"Spare the sad details until ,after
we have dined, young people," he
said. "I did not know your fallen
companion, but am glad to see that
Tam and Angus and Jane' are ap-
parently none the worse. This is your
future bride, I take it, Aylmer?"
Jane was introduced.
"Most kind of you to ask me too,
Signor," she said, "and hearing from
Tont of your glorious birds, and
knowing how famous you were, I
brought this pair of little island ones
from the Marquesas for you."
Jacob was instantly interested.
"Now that was a beautiful
thought," he said. "Yes, yes -I know
all about them. They are exceeding-
ly welcome and quite rare."
"I'd have Loved to bring you some
of the great yellow birds from Table
Top," she told him, "but we didn't
get a chance to catch any of them.
I have the skin and bones of one.
It may be new to science. You'll

if it looks all right. How I got it is
Part of our wonderful story,"
"The story will be interesting,
Jane, I'm sure of bleat," he answered,
and then gave her his arm to dinner.
The host addressed mast of 'tis con-
versation to Jane and 'Milted about
birds only. He asked after her parrot.
and congratulated her upon reading
the bird's riddle, while she declared
the praise was Jacob's own.
"But for you, nobody'eeould have
known he had a riddle," she said.
"You alone knew he wasn't talking
hie own language and told Tom, to
look into it. Everything turned on
that."
They chatted 'cheerfully . about
Jane's Gauldians and Jacob deplored
the difficulties these birds presented.
"They are such bad fathers and
mothers,' he ,said. "They build ex-
cellent nests and lay plenty of ex-
cellent; eggs; then their interest
ceases' and they absolutely decline to
do their' duty."
"So they do; but been you take the
eggs to the nest of a Japan, Ben-
galese finch," she said. "You rob
the poor . Bettgalese of their own
clutch and let them hatch the Gould-
ians; and they rear them beautifully
and ado all the right things •and, of
course,' think they are their owe
beautiful work." i.
Tom and Angus found Jacob in-
finitely more interested in Jane than
in themselves, and even after they
had dined n and retired to
an open-
air
e
air chamber, outside the house, he
persisted in talking birds.
"To meet a fellow enthusiast,
though one as yet hardly out of her
childhood, is most attractive," said
the Peruvian. "If you are spared to
old age, Jane, you should know near-
ly all that can be called knowledge
on your great subject,",
"You can't applaud us very muolr,
however," declared Jane. "We're
I
pretty resolute killers still."
Tom and Angus were yawning in
the darkness of the garden room, and
,now Jacob invited them to talk.
"My news, such as it is, concerns
Aylmer only and it will keep," he
said. "I'll visit him at his office
to -morrow if agreeable_ and conven-
ient. Now let . me hear everything
about your island and your treasure,
if indeed Benny's treasure was 'hid-
den upon it."
The past had become more or less
a commonplace of existence to the
travellers, who already felt them-
selves widely separated from it in
time. They told their extraordinary
story without adornment and it would
have been hard to say whether Tom
or Angus, was the more matter-of-
fact and devoid of literary charm.
THE INCREDIBLE STORY
Once, indeed, lads laughed at
some particularly flat recital of
poignant happenings.
"Forgive .me," he said. "You are
so 'banal. You remind sue of ane or
your compatriots who declared long
ago that if an earthquake were to
engulf' England to -morrow, the Eng-
lish remaining• would manage to meet
and hold picnics and drive :about
among the rubbish, -just to celebrate
the event. You have that lack .of
imagination, dear boys, which has
enabled your race to do feats that
beggar imagination. Now proceed."
"'This is exactly how it all hap-
pened, sir," ventured Tom, "And I'm
trying to tell it that way. • I know
jolly well most people won't believe
it in any case."
"Fear nothing," replied the old
man, "To know you and Angus is
to believe it. I credit every word
so far."
He did not' interrupt again, and
Toni and, his friend told their tale
between them, sometimes referring
to Jane for confirmation of a detail.
"That's how it went, sir," conclud-
ed Tom, "and the silver box is now
locked up at my office. I'm not go-
ing to do a thing about it till you've
given me your advice. It belongs 40

purpose was noble. He felt himself
a trustee and nothing else. In fact,
he was going to devote the entire
worth of the treasure to the poor of
Lima; but if everything now belongs
to her—you see. The signora's rather
a difficult sort of woman, and before

than kind if you'd give me the bene-
fit of your advice."
For answer, Jacob pushedtwo.
electrid buttons. One lighted the.
summer -house, while the other rang
a bell within doors.
"We will have some 'refreshments,"
he said, "Yoe are both likely to be
thirsty."
When they were supplied, their host
lighted another of hisbigcigars and
spoke to them.
"I see the difficulties of the •situa-
tion and you will perhaps be the
better for a'. little support. 'Phis I
shall be willing enough to give you,

finding he did not return, you boys
braved the earthquake and tried to
rescue him, ' but only discovered
his dead body. The island was tumb-

must be that some boulder from
above had destroyed him. • Probably
Anita Pardo will raise no questions
as to that, and you can explain how
your party all agreed to let her son
enjoy the proceeds of the treasure

and a mark of your friendship. You
can impress upon her the purpose to
which Pardo was going to put his
haul,but you cannot, df course, make
her do the same.' Is she is poor, she
may be of the opinion that charity
begins at home. And who shall blame
her."
"Now, this," continued the speaker,
"is where I propose to come in. One
cannot suppose that the collection
dredged by Benny Boss from Lake
Titicaca is a priceless treasure, but
it must assuredly possess consider-
able value. I, however, am no ex-
pert, and it will therefore be wise
to have an expert present when the
box is opened. If the lady is mis-
trustful, then she can choose her own
expert. Tell her that you have her
son's treasure, but that it will only
be opened before independent *wit-

she would prefer to choose some such

liberty to do so. My name, at any
rate, will convince her she is in safe
hands.
"If she is agreeable to this course,
we will assemble at an hour con-
venient to herself, open the box and
study its contents. It may not be
possible to appraise the value of the
collection in a moment; but she can

The way to grow rich in the things

I have quoted these lines in past

Self -enlargement comes front self -

we give with intensity of effort to
study which gives us power. It is
the unstinted investment of ourselves
in service for others which wins for
us community, provincial, national'

more than esteem. Any young man,
any man in middle life, who wants
much from others must give much

of whom I write, and which letters
T have teen. My object in quoting
from these letters is to persuade
some of my readers—and in partic-
ular my young readers—that it is far
better to live a life which confers
benefits on others that! it is to ac-
cumulate money. The possession of
much money and its quest tend to
corrode one's finer nature, and to
narrow one's sympathies with others
of ordinary attainments and posses-
sion.
cisiou itis yet been made as to what
inscription shall be placed on the tab-
let or what form reception of the
tablet will take.
