- ho.' . -. l THE 0REG6N i SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1907. n III a aw I THE last piece of baggage had been lifted Into the hold of the Espe rang and the signals to draw In the gangplank and move off had been given when the couple with Winfleld Shlpman (retired banker) his . on and daughter daahed up to the pier. " Tbejr were barely in time and as the big boat moved lowly away from her dock Master Irving Shlpman called to the boatman still standing on the pier, gating after this strange trio as If In a final farewell. Winfleld Bhlpman'a business methods had been hard and merciless and that there was a kindlier aide to his nature not oae but his children believed. To them he had been father and mother, giving them everything great wealth could give, and his hard, cold, gray eyes only lighted with tenderness when he thought of them or their future. And it was for their sake he was tak ing this trip which his physioians had sdvlsed. Master Irving had been bastUy sum moned Trom the military academy to join his father and sister on this trip and had not had time to change his uniform for the less conspicuous cltl gen's garb. He was a tall, slender youth of about If or 17 years, whose bearing clearly Indicated his military training and whose euthuslasm betrayed his tfeltght at his good In getting a mid-winter vacation. But It was Mildred Shlpman who at tracted most attention. She was very fair, almost pale with large, sad, brown eyes, and masses of rich brown hair done in the latest fash ion. Her mouth was 'sensitive and a faint sadness lurked In the corners dis appearing only when she smiled, dis playing rows of beautiful teeth. But she did not smile as much as a girl of 20 should. Her mother had died when she was 12 and now her father's Illness had taken a serious turrv threatening to leave her alone save for her brother. She hated travel and she wondered what kind of a place Mexico was. The first faw, days out she kept to her stateroom, taking her meals there with her father, who was unable to be about. After Havana they were gale swept and at Progressn ran into a "norther" and had to ride anchor for three days until lighters could get out to take off the passengers for that port. From Progresso to Vera Crus the weather was delightful and Mildred spent a great deal of time on deck. At night the moon and phosphores cent waters of the gulf stream seemed in a conspiracy to light up the surface of the waters as a sort of playground tor the flying fishes. Arrived at Vera t'rus they proceeded by rail to the City of Mexico. The ride through the mountains was as beauti ful. Mildred thought, as the Alps. First they passed through long groves of banana trees, then acres and acres of henequln (the Mexican mil lionaire maker), from whose milky centers Mexico gets her native pulque and whose fiber equals hemp in the manufacture of rope. At the stations where they stooned the train was Instantly surrounded by Indiana selling beautiful camellas and Ill-smelling foodstuffs, some begging, some serenading. They arrived late and tired and the next morning Mildred and her brother went to the breakfast-room alone, their rather not Having stood the trip so wslL It was late and there was but one at her dinner, a frank-faced, handsome young man, wearing a flowing black tie much the same as artists wear. He was the new engineer for the Read-Miller Construction company of nttaburg, who were erecting electrio trolley plants In the city and its suburbs. He had been there only a week, but had made many friends by his manly conduct of the company's affairs that he had found In very bad condition on his arrival, and had restored harm on. among the workmen who had been threatening to strike. He was late and had ordered a hasty repast, and when the newcomers entered he forgot It and all else save who they were. He wondered what so lovely a crea ture could be doing there, for frankly Roy Kendall did not like Mexico, and wondered at any one coming there on pleasure bent. He did not understand the language and he despised their life and cus toms. All the way out to the works he kept wondering who she was and hew he was going to arrange to meet her. He had learned to overcome great obstacles In his chosen profession, but he admitted to himself this one seemed almost unsurmountable. But he resolved to meet her some way and he was not to be turned from a purpose once he had mad up his mind. The little party spent the first few days visiting the lagoons, the cathe dral, ChlpeJtepec, the thieves market and even Flacubuyo, the Mexican Monte Carlo, where the games were in progress. Tse doctor had said he noted a slight Improvement In her father's condition and Mildred had resigned herself to a long slay there hoping he might be permanently cured. Meanwhile Roy Kendall was not idle. He had made friends with Master Irving, who In turn had taken him to his father to obtain his permission to allow him to visit the new buildings In course of construction for the city's new power supply. Wlnflelo. Shlpman liked the honest blue eyes and frank, easy manner of Roy Kendall and had given consent for his daughter to go also. She had been greatly interested, as he showed her the great traveling cranes and asked many amusing If not silly little questions as he took ber to Inspect the huge dynamos that supplied light to the ancient city of the Zolteo and Astec. At least shs was Interested he mused as he rode to the hotel that night and when he arrived there and received a note from Mildred's father asking him to dine with them that evening he was In his seventh heaven. He was never more particular about his grooming than that night and whea he had finished he surveyed himself in the mirror with evident satisfaction. He found them waiting for him and could not help notice how radiantly happy Mildred was. He fancied her faca lighted up when he entered and the sadness that sometimes lurked around the sweet mouth seemed to disappear In his presence. He felt a new, strange happiness when near her and knew that at last he was In love. Mildred and Roy Kendall now saw a great deal of each other. They rod to gether out the beautiful Paseo to his torical old castle Chlpaltepec, where Maxlmllllan brought the lovely Char lotte a brldo. Sometimes they walked in the Ale mada listening to the muslo or wand ered through the flower mart. They both thought they had never seen a more beautiful place than Mex ico. But the alight Improvement Jn Wtn flel.l Shipman's health proved only a temporary one and when he was not able to be about Mildred spent her time in care of him leaving Roy to th so ciety of her brother. Between Mildred and her father there was a great unaemsh devotion but she lovd Roy Kendall and she missed the little pilgrimages that grew less fre quent each week. Her father was growing worse each day and realised the end was near. To this crusty, old man the world had been a place to make and hoard money and he bad never until now thought there wn anyming cise or importance to be considered at death. But the thought of leaving Mildred alone made these declining days more wretched and he wondered what would become of her. Then he thought of Roy Kendall. He knew he was in love with Mildred and he was sureshe cared for him. But he knew she would never consent to any arrangement so he resolved to see him and talk to him about It and Mildred need not know of it. H had liked him from the first snd th feeling had grown with the ac quaintance and he felt that Mildred weuld be safe and happy In his care. He told Mildred she might drive out to the works and tell Mr. Kendall he wished to see him as soon as he reached the hotel that evening. Ror sat in his rudely constructed of fice before a table littered with blue prints, but his mind wss not on the drawings. He wa thinking of Mildred and wondering whether he should go to her father and tell him or whether he should speak to her first. He wondered If she might not think him cruel and selfish to mention his love while her father was so 111. But he must tell her and he prom ised himself to see her that night and know her answer. Just then she peeped In at the door and asked Bayly. "May I come in, Royr "Well, I should say so," he answered. Jumping to his feet and tendering th one chair the office afforded. "How did you get away this after noon f ' She told him of her father's wish to see htm find began arranging th con fused heap of drawings, all the whtle scolding him for the untidy condition of his desk. He thought he had never seen her more beautiful although the pale face showed the confinement her father's ill ness had forced upon her. She needs air and sunshine he musel as he sat on the arm of her chair. H felt her tremble just a little, but she did not attempt to move. "Mildred, you must know I love you, dear. I felt I ought to wait until your father was better to tell you this, but I know you must have understood all along. May I say what is In my heart now? Will you marry me?" She nestled closer and he knew It waa his answer. He took her In his arms and said: "Come, dear, w must not keep your fsther waiting." When they reached the hotel they found the doctor there and all In confusion. One look ana the doctor knew he could be of no more service. He whispered to Mildred and Roy Ken dall. They knelt beside th bed and the grey eyes wandered from one to the other The lips parted as if to speak, then all was still and Winfleld Shlpman was gone.
