"One of the strongest fortes the gov ernment had to combat In putting through the canal upprnprintious was the railroads. Colonel Jnlson bag no reason to love your father. j "By the way. when are you going into business with him?" ; "I? Oil. not for a long time. You Bee. work doesn't really appeal to me. j anyway. I suppose If I hail to bustle I ooultl. lint what's the use?" Mrs. Cortlantlt let her eyes dwell' mon him curiously for a moment i Then she said : "Have you no ambition? Is there no girl, for instance? Have you never been in love?" i "Oh. see here, now!" Autuouy blush ed in a manner to excite the envy of unv woman. "I don't like 'em. I'd rather play football." "You lack stimulus. If you should meet the rijjlit woman" Then, see-i in;,' t!ie amti-'eineut in bis face: "Be-' lieve me, I know what I atu talking about I know what a woman cau do. , Your life has been too easy and placid. ! You need some disturbing element to make it irriiieiit." The Santa Cruz was now rapidly ' drawing out of the cold northern wintsi anil into u tropic warmth. The nights were perfect, the days divine. The paKsoiprs responded as if to a magic draft, and Kirk acknowledged to a re lu tairf enjoyment of the change and iuLiAl hiui: eif less eager to u Pack. Mrs. Cortlaudt Joined liliu as usual on tleck after dinner, ami they did a mile n round the promenaile chatting Idly of many things. The eveulng was too glorious to permit of early retiring, and a late hour found them leaning over the rail, side by side, while Au tliony bewailed the fact that he knew nothing of the country Just beyond the dark horizon ahead of tlieai They talked about the canal "It is a big task. Mr. Anthony, and the" mere digging of the ditch is the smallest part There is a great ileal more to he done. You see. as men at tain culture, they require more than mere food and drink and betiding, anil 111 tlie sume way, as nations attain to greatness, they require more than mere territory they reach out and absorb power and prestige. Our decision to build the Panama canal Is like the landing of another Columbus; the con quest is to follow. After that will come who knows what? Perhaps more wars, more pillage, more Injus tice, just as lo the old days of Central and South America." "You talk like a man." Anthony said admiringly. "I li.nl no idea you looked at things in such a big way." Mrs. Cortlaudt hesitated slightly as slio chanced the subject. "I heard you tell the purser the other day 'about troubles, ami It oc t Vr Corthti.di miht him." i Mrs. Cortlaudt frowned slightly. "We won't discuss it." she said "I as : sured hira he was at liberty to call orf us for anything, and naturally that ends the matter." "Naturally." he agreed, bat his col I orless cheeks Hushed ilmly, i When Kirk came on .leek early the , '"""whig morning tie t.. -,1 the Santa Cniz nosing h.,P ,. .. ., ,.,,i,. , bor.

The ship came to anchor abreast of a point Uk)0 which he descried a squat little spider legged lighthouse and long rows of frame dwellings half hidden behind slender palm trees. Heyoud were warehouses and docks and the ! funnel of many ships. Ou either side ; of the hay was u dense tropical wil- deruess. "Will you go over to I'aua- ; ma city or will you stay lu Colou?" j asked Cortlaudt "1 think I'll remain ou the ship. Theu she can't get away without me." ' Kirk answered. But when he explain- ed his desire to the purser that worthy j replied: "I'm sorry, but you'll have to ar- ! range that with the agent. We make a charge, you know. Just like a hotel." ! "I'm going to table my old niau for money." , The officer shook his head with final- ! ity. "Nothing doing. Mr. Locke. If j you want to stay aboard you'll have to ; pay lu advance. 1 don't Intend to be stuck for your bill." "All right, then.

Then he wandered forth again, resolved to enlist the services of tlie American consul. After some wandering he found the consul's house and knocked at the door, whereupon a high pitched, querulous voice from inside tried: 'Come In. Immmit. don't stand there hammering!' , Kirk entered to tind a huge, globti- ! iar mail cl.ni in soiled linens spnnvled in a musty Morris chair and sipping a ' highball. The man's face and neck j were of a purplish, apoplectic hue; he' seemed to radiate beat waves like a J base burner. "Is this Mr. Weeks?" Kirk inquired. ! "That's uie " I "My name is Anthony." "Clad to meet you." " !m ?. .1 the fn mil n, extending l li::.. in- i-: h iml without rtslns.

In answer to Mr. Weeks' shout a slatternly uegress with dragging skirts and overrun shoes entered, carrying a wash bowl partly filled with ice. "Just get In. Mr Anthony?" "Yes, sir. ou the Santa Cruz." "Pine ship." Mr. Weeks rose pon derously and wiped out a glass with a bath towel. "You'll like I bel e s olie li. F.
