Oh, gentlemen, but you’ve made a happy man of me this day ” A ‘ His ingenuous delight pleased the temperamental Latins, and they smil- ed paternally upon his ebullition of spirits. When he left them, he had the precious paper in his pocket, duly signed and sealed by the representa- tives of the mighty Estados Unidos do Brazil, and their“ gpqd wishes were ringing in his ears. “When you marry, Capitan,” said Cash‘omento at part- ing, “come to Rio for your honeymoon. We will show you our incomparable Bay, our Corcovado, and the botanical gardens. Adios, Capitan! Vada con Dio!” And the yellow-skinned Ruez was .just as cordial in his farewell wishes. Frank found himself out in the ro- tunda in a daze. Was it all a dream? No, there was the paper crackling in his breast pocket. For a minute he stoodâ€"a rough-looking, seaâ€"soaked figureâ€"and made a mental retrospec- tion of the afternoon’s events. At last, after a summary of the wonder- ful happenings of the day. he became aware that the loungers'in the hotel were staring at him. “Let’s git out 0’ this. I must be a sight. Now Mr Lillian. She must bear all about it an’ what she has done for me!” She was tying up some vines at the side of the house when Frank swung in through the gate, and, headless of time, place, or circumstances, he threw his ‘arms around her and gave her a hug and a resounding kiss. “Why, I‘H'ank, you great bear!” she cried in astonishment, with her brown eyes wide and her beautiful face flushâ€" ed with the publicity of her lover‘s caresses. “Whatever sent you down hereâ€"and in those wet clothes?” Westhaver took her by the arm. “Come over to th’ summer-house, sweetheart,” he said. “I'm jest about bustin’ with joy. Another kiss, dearie, bustin’ with joy. Another kiss, dearie, an’ I’ll tell ye all about it.” She made no raistance; It would have been some task to resist such an enthusiastic young lover as West- haver, find while she was blushing ros- ily and arranging the stray wisps of disordered silky hrown hair he pulled the paper out of his pocket. “See this, sweetheart? That’s th’ result 0' th" tip you gave meâ€"a hundred~an‘-fifty- thousand-dollar contract from th’ Brazilian Government!" And he told her the story of his adventures since he left the Cove the night before. When he finished she looked up into his radiant face, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes. “Oh, Frank dear," she said softly, “I’m so glad you got that, but you frighten me with what you went through.
