"That is so," agreed Antonio Al-
varez. "There are two ways of re -
:goading such a treasure A cultured
-observer admits at once that it is
.extrinsically priceless and never to

-view, of its intrinsic calue as gold

that can have any interest for.. me."
"Since - you are in such haste to
be rill of ,them. I can make you an
offer," replied. the expert. "Your
facilities are likely to be small, and
it may be a convenience to you to
sell .outright without any further
respaiisibilities. My own people will
buy the collection and dispose of it
in due course to collectors. We
should' hold an exhibition„ and re-
presentatives from the United States
and Europe would attend it. We
should advertise adequately and ac-
quaint those concerned with the uni-
que occasion, Considerable expense
would attend our operations needless
to say. There is moreover another
fact to be considered. An English
expedition of scientists well equipp-
ed is actually about to operate on
Lake Titicaca, and it may quite
possibly succeed in recovering much
of the major treasure from ancient
Cuzco, which still lies at the bottom
of the lake. Our purpose will be
to anticipate them. They may not
be as astonishingly fortunate as the
collector of this hoard; but, on the
other and, they may succeed in a
sensational manner and recover such
curiosities that these will sink into
unimportance before them."
"Name the figure your people
would pay ane Signor" ` repeated
Anita. "You tell me, these things
to retake it less"
Alvarez smiled.
"You are not a very agreeable
woman," ha :said. "but it is the
buyer who is aways right, not
the seller. You must remember
that. The seller's part is to name a
price, though in thia case I quite un -
stand that you cannot do that. I will
offer you good terms on your scale
of valuation, Signora Pardo. I will
pay you three thousand. pounds ster-
ling for your jewels, and the box
that contains them."
"And make much more?"
"Not so very much more when the
expenses are considered, If you are
not content, go elsewhere, though 1
do not thnk you will find anybody in
Lima who would offer so much;"
Angus Maine spoke.
"Forgive •me for butting in, Sig-
nor," he said, "but there is another
littlepoint that you may have over-
looked. Suppose the Government de-
cides to take a hand?"
"That idea had occured to inc
also," declared Alvarez. "In such
a case the signora might find her-
self very disapointed."
"Now let me talk, my friends,"
suggested Jacob, "I ant older than
any of you, but still quite intelligent
1 ,'would suggest a course of action
calculated to please us all and ob-
viate any tiresome bargaining and

"What could ` be more beautiful
than that, Signora?" asked Jane.
"An absolutely perfect solution,"
declared Antonio Alvarez. "Worthy
sof` you, Fernandez."
Anita regarded -them calmly and
thoughtfully.
"You think I am a mean and
grasping woman," she said. "But I
have been fighting for my son, not
for myself. He woud have cared no
more for these lumps of gold and
'splinters of stones than I do; but
because his life was lost when he
got them, I choose to make the best
bargain I can. There is a great deal
in my mind that I do not choose to
tell you; but that is my affair. I
will accept your money on the condi-
tion that my dead son, Felice Pardo,
has his name set up in the museum."
"It shall be as you say—my word
for it," promised Jacob; and half an

of 'happiness. His formula for hap-
piness is: Whatever you do in LOVE
makes you happy. Perhaps that
formula M sound. But many years
ago I heard a woman define happi-
ness, and I have quoted her defini-
tion 'several hundred of times since.
Her definition is: Self-expression is
happiness, This definition means
that persons who are forever talk-
ing about their ailments or troubles
are happy. We • may regard them
as miserable creatures, and :•may not
want to be in their company; yet
they have a kind ea happiness. Per-
verted persons ,Who tare' habitually

Within a fortnight the lovers were
through the Panama Canal on a
great, thirty -knot 'ship homeward
bound. They stood one morning for-
ward and watched the flying fish
leap before her bows and plunge
like stars into safety.., Only a, ripple
marked the Caribbean blue and the
steamer's wake was like a ribbon of
pearly silk thrown down upon it.
