The Huron Expositor, 1922-06-02, Page 7i rr by Richard Harding Davis Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. I•,-, (Continued from last' weak.) He told Kirkland to march hie men back to the mines and to see that there were no stragglers. "If they want to celebrate, let them celebrate when they get to the mines, but not here. They have made a good re- cord to -dal' and I won't have it spoil- ed by rioting. They shall have their reward biter. Between Rojas and Mr. 'Langham they should all be rich men." The cheering from the housetops since the firing ceased had changed suddenly into .hand -clapping, and the cries, though still undistinguithable, uere of a different sound. Clay saw that the Americans on the balconies of the club and of the theatre had dlit.'wn themselves far over the rail- ings and were all looking in the same direction and waving their hats and cheering loudly, and he heard above the shouts of the people he regular tramp of mods feet marching in step and the rattle of a machine gun as it bumped and shook over the rough stones. He gave a shout of pleasure and Kirkland and the two boys ran with him up the slope, crowding each other to get a better view. The mob parted at the Palace 'gates, and they saw two lines of blue -jackets, spread out like the sticks of a fan, dragging the gun between them, the middies in their tight•+buttoned tunics and gaiters, and behind them more blue- jackets with bare, bronzed throats, and with the swagger and roll of the sea in their legs and shoulders.

Six of the native officers had ap- proached as the lieutenant was speak- ing and saluted • Olay gravely. "We have followed your instructions," one of them said, "and the regiments are ready to march with the prisoners. Have you any further orders for us -can we deliver any 'messages to General Rojas?" "Present eny congratulations to General Rojas, and beat wishes," said Clay. "And tell him for me, that it would please me greatly if he would liberate an American citizen named Burke, who 'is at present in to that And I wish him the c warted. promote all of you gentlemen one grade and give each of you'the Star of Olaneho.

They assured Clay that the was most grac- ious; _that he overwhelmed them, 'and that it -was honor enough for them that they` had served under him. But Clay laughed, and drove them off with a paternal wave of the hand. The officer from the man-of-war listened with an uncomfortable sense of having blundered in his manner ed as they moved toward the man-of- war's men. "I am, thank God. Why not?"

Then they called upon the captain and Clay asked hint why captains al- ways hung so much dace about -their bed's -when they invariably slept on a red velvet sofa with their boots on, and the captain ordered his Chinese steward to mix them a queer drink and offered them the choic,• of a six months' accumulation of paper navels and free admittance to his bridge at all hours. And then they passed on to the door of the smoking -room and beckoned MacWilliams to come out and join them. His manner as lie did so bristled with importance, and he drew them eagerly to the rail. "I've just been having a chat with Captain 'Burke," he said, in an under- tone. "He's been telling Langham and me about a new+game that's 'bet lroads. He say raJ ter than running there's a country called Macedonia that's got a native prince who wants to be free from Turkey, and the Turks won't let him, and Burke says if we'll each -put up a thousand dol- lars, he'll guarantee to get the prince free in six months. He's made an estimate of the cost and submitted it to the Russian Embassy -at help Washing- ton, and he says they P secretly, 'and 'he knows a man who has just patented a new rifle, and whp will supply him with a thousand of them for the sake of the advertise- ment. He says it's a mountainous country, and all you have to do is to stand on the passes and roll rocks down on. the Turks as they come in. It sounds easy, doesn't it?" "Then you're thinking of turning professional filibuster yourself?" said Clay. "Well, I don't know. It sounds more interesting than engineering. Burke says I beat him on this last fight, and he'd like to have me with him in the next one-�sr'rt of young - blood -in -the -'firm idea- and he caleu- lates that 'we can go about setting people free and upsetting govern- ments for some time to a"me. He says there is always something, to fight about if you look for it. And I must say the condition of those poor Macedonians does appeal to me. Think of these. all alone down there bullied by that Sudtan.of Turkey, and wanting to be free and independent. That's not right. You, as an Ameri- can citizen, ought to be the last per- son in the world to throw cold water on an undertaking live that. In the name of Liberty now?" "I don't object; set them free, of course," laughed Clay. "But how long have you entertained this feel- ing for the enslave'! Macedonians, Mac?" "Well, I never heard of them un- til a quarter of an hour ago, but they oughtn't to suffer through my ignor- ance." "Certainly not. Let me know whe.s you're going to do it, -and Hope and I will run over and to -'k on. I should like -to see you and Burke and the Prince of Macedonia rolling rocks down on the Turkish Ompire." Hope and Clay 1n"sed on up the deck laughing, and MacWilliams look- ed after them with a find and pater- nalCl- smile. The lamp in .the wheel- house threw a bread belt of light a- cross the forward deck 'as they 'pass- ed through it into the darkness of the bow, where the lonely lookout turned and stared at then suspiciously, and then resumed his stern watch over the great waters. They leaned upon the rail and breathed the soft a:r which the rush of the steamer threw in their faces, and studied in silence the stars that lay so low upon the horizon line that they looked like the harbor lights of a 'great city. "Do you see that long line of lamps off our port bow?" asked Clay. Hope nodded. "Those are the electric lights along the ocean drive at Long Branch and up the Rumson Road, and, those two stars •a little .higher up are fixed to the mast -heads of the Scotland Light- ship. And 'that mass of light that you think is the 11!Ikyy Way, is the glare of the New York street lamps thrown up 'against the sky." "Are we so near as that?" said Hope, smiling: "And what, lies over there?" she asked. pointing .to the east. "Over there is tin coast of Africa. Don't you see the lighthouse on Cape Bon? If it wasn't. for Gibraltar be- ing in the way, I could show you the harbor lights of Bizerte, and the terrace!' of Algiers shining like a cafe ch'antent in the night." "Algiers," sighed Hope, "where f d d tei7ila 'atlo t, A1Ae1W' ellofl 1D'i1it, d tWesll %Wee trf site onet It wee li'11e an •fit BO lie did not tee it,, .and 'I lb talk to me about the 'YN+atldn'ry,aa,,v7 pC finder on the 'lower" remPante,. ^yr» I nlgit' on 'a :huge ,a'g'ar. + I' ed to imagine I was there on any boneyi- piool, but the end of bis' r'waul'd light up and I would see his 'shuts mustache and the ...glow of hiered. jacket, so.

And you will wear the finest tiara we can get en Bond Street, but no one will look at it; they will only look at you. Arid I will feel very miserable and tease you to come home." Hope' put 'her hand in his, and he held her finger-tip to his lips for an instant and closed this other hand upon hers. "And after that?" asked Hope. "After that we will go to work a- gain, and take 'long journeys to Mex- ico and 'Peru or wherever they want one, and' I will sit in judgment on the work other chaps have done. And when we get back to our ear at night or to the section house, for it will be very rough sometimes," -Hope press- ed his hand gently in answer, -"I will tell you privately how very different- ly your husband would have done•it, and you, knowing ell about it. will say "iet 'had it be•oo left to me. I 'would certainly have accomplisha.l it in a vastly superior manner." . "Well, so you would," said Hope, calmly. "flat's 'what I s rid you'd say," laughed Clay. "Dearest," he begged, "promise me something. Premiss me tk-vt you are going to he very harpy." Hope raised her ":yds and loosed up d- him in silence, not hod use pian in the wheelhouse been watch- ing the stars, as he should have been, ne -one but the two foolish young peeele on the bow of the boat would have known her answer. The ship's bell sounded eight times and Hope moved slightly. "So late as that," she sighed. "Come. We must be going back." A great wave struck the ship's side a friendly slap, and the wind eaaght up the spray and tossed it in their eyes, and blew a strand of her hair loose so that it fell across Clay's face, and they laughed happily to- gether as she drew it 'back and 'he took 'her hand again to steady her progress across the slanting deck As they passed hand in hand out of the shadow in -to the light from the wheelhouse, the lookout in the bow counted the strokes of the 'bell to him -self, and then turned and shouted back his measured cry to the bridge above them. His voice seemed to be a part of the murmuring sea and the welcoming winds, "Listen," said Clay. "Eight bells," the voice sang from the darkness. "The tfor'arcl light's shining bright -and all's well." THE END. 1 Government party?" Clay brought the rtd.barred flag down with a jerk, 'and ripped it free the halyards. Kirkland and the 1Ya e two boys were watching him with amused smiles. he " I appreciate your difficulty," said. "President Alvarez is dead, and General Mendoza, who tried to make himself Dictator, is 'also dead, and the real President, General Rojas, is still in jail. So at present I suppose that I represent the Government party, at least I 'am the man named Clay.

She had'not yet shaken off the contamination of the earth; a soft inland breeze still tantalized her with odors of tree and soil, the smell of the fresh coat of paint that had fol- lowed her coaling rose from her sides, and the odor of split coffee - grains that hung around the hatches had yet to be blown away by a jeal- ous ocean breeze, or washed by a welcoming cross sea. The captain stopped at the open entrance of the Social Hall. "If any of you ladies want to take your last look at Olancho you've got to come now," he said. "We'll 'lose the Val- encia light in the next quarter hour." Miss Langham and King looked up from their novels and smiled, and Miss Langham shook her head. "I've taken three final farewells of Olen - elm already," she said; "before we the and when went down to dinner, moon rose. I have no more senti- ment left to draw on. Do you want to go?" she asked. "I'm very comfortable, thank you,? King said, an'd returned to the con- sidera+t)on of his novel, But Clay and Hope arose at the captain's suggestion with upon suspicious alacrity, and stepped empty deck, and into the encompass- ing darkness, with a little sigh of re- lief. Alice Langham looked after them somewibat wistfully 'and bit the edges of 'her book. She sat for some time with her brows knitted, glancing oc- casionally and critically toward King and up with unseeing eyes 'at the swinging lamps of the saloon. He caught her looking at him once when 'he raised his eyes as he turned a page, and smiled back at 'her, and she nodded pleasantly and bent her head over her.reading. She assur- ed herself that after all King under- stood her and she him, 'and that if they never rose to certain heights, they never sank below a high level of mutual esteem, and that perhaps was the 'best .in the end. King had placed his'yacht at the disposal of Madame Alvarez, and she had sailed to Colon, where she could change to the steamers for Lis- bon, -while he accompanied the Lang - hams and the wedding party to New York. Clay recognized that the'time had now arrived in his life when he could graduate from the position 'of man- ager-di•rector and become the engin- eering expert, and that 'his services in Olancho were no longer needed. With Rojas- in power Mr. Langhans had nothing further to fear from the Ceovernment, and with Kirkland in charge and young Langham return- ing -after a few months' absence to resume his work, he felt himself free to'enjoy +his holiday. They had taken the first steamer out, and the combined efforts of all I had been necessary to prevail upon MacWilliams to accompany them; and even now the fact that he was to act as Clay's best man and, as Langham assured him cheerfully, was to wear a frock coat and see his cisme in all the papers, brought on such sudden , panics of fear that the fast -fading V - ""Well, I'm glad to have met you," it .
