It was one, too, which I seemed to have heard be fore, and not so very long ago. When I turned In Its direction I was Immedi ately arrested, as one always Is by any splendor of vitality ; for a startling contrast Indeed to the spiritless, fur tive figures that hud been coming and going hitherto whs this superb young creature, tnll and lithe, with proudly SI.

Her skin was a K"lleit olive, and It bad bis-n herd to suy which whs the more Intensely black her bnlr. or the prmid eyes which, turning prewntly In my direction, seamed to strike Un me as with an actual liniyict of eoft Ore. ' My presence seemed at once to put her on her guard. The music of her voice was suddenly bushed, at thoiiKli she had hurriedly, almost in terror, thrown robe of reticence about an Impulsive naturalness not to be dls- played before strangers. As for tbe storekeeper, he was evidently a fa miliar acquaintance. He bad known her he said after she was gone since she was a little girl. While he oke, my eyes had awl- lentally fallen on the coin still In his nand, with which she had just paid him. "Why," I said, "thU I a Squish Oouhloon I" That's what it Ib." said the English man luconlntlly. "But doesn't It strike you as strange that she should pay her bills with Spnnleh doubloous?" I asked. "It did at first," lie answered; and then, as If annoyed with himself, he wa attempting to retrieve an expres sion that carried an Implication he evi dently dUln't wish me to retain, he added : "Of course, she doesn't always pay In Spanish doubloons. I suppose they have a few old coins In the fam ily and use them when they run out of others." It was as lame au explanation as well could be, und no one could doubt that, whatever his reason for so doing, he was lying. "But haven't you trouble In dispos ing of them?" I Inquired. "Gold is always gold," he answered, "and we don't see enough of It here to be particular as to whose head Is stnmped upon It, or what date. Be sides, as I snld, it Isn't ns If I gut many of them ; and you can always dlnpose of them as curbwltlea." "Will you sell me this one?" I asked. "I see no harm In your having It," he snld. "but I'd Just as soon you didn't mention where you got It." "Certainly," I answered, disguising my wonder at bis secretlveuess. "What ts it worth?" He named the sura of sixteen dol lars and soventy-flve cents. Having paid him that nmount I bade blra good-night, glnd to be alone with my eager, glowing thoughts. These I took with me to n hit of coral beech; made doubly white by the moon, rustled over by giant palms, and whispered to by tbe .vast living Jewel of the sea. I took out my atrnnge doubloon and flashed It in the moon. . ,lut, brightly as it shone, It hardly seemed us bright as it would have seemed a short while back; or, per haps, It were truer to sny that In an other, newer aspect it shone a hun dred times, more brightly. The adven ture to which It called me was no longer single and simple as before, but a gloriously confused goul of cloudy splendors, the burning core of which suddenly raying out, and then lost again ln brightness were the eyes of a mysterious girl.
