Over on the wlndowieat «at Flo,
the picture of trouble and foreboding.
“It'a not all right. You know your­
self what Jack told us— not take the
Marlpoea atage. It'a not flrteen mllea
from the penitentiary, and they bar
en't caught theae men yet. Laalla,
I think It'a actually selfish of you to
Insist on the trip Just purely because
you're starved for adventure.”
"Then stay here, and come over the
other route Haturday. I'll wait for
you at Mariposa."
Flo looked up with a sudden Inspir­
ation.
"It's not love of adventure. You're
bound to go on this stage because
the Marquis 1* going 1 heard him
tell you ao at dinner laat night lx»»-

Compoeedly Lealle finlahed her
packing, closed and locked her ault-
“Love of adventure, dear.
Hurely
the Marquis Is an adventure all by
hla lonelles, Isn't he?"
Flo started to say something very
forcible, but words failed her. She
aet her teeth, and banged a couple of
books Into a comer, then rose reso­
lutely, and began her own packing.
They had been traveling west from
Denver for the past month, taking
the trip by easy stages, over the most
picturesque route. At the coast they
were to pick up the other members of
the party, and his mother, and some
c< uslns from Santa Barbara. They
had parted from them at the Springs,
and gone on together, as It was their
first trip through the weet. And then
had come the Marqula.
They met him first at Pass Mag
dalena. He was not as tall as Leslie,
nor as handsome as Jack, but there
was an lndescrlble air of distinction
about him, of differential courtesy
which set him apart from the happy
tree and easy crowd at the summer
hotel on the mountain top. He did
not mis with the common crowd of
tourists, but hsd «eemed attracted at
once to Leslie. The girls had left
the Paas with some regret, but at the
nest stopping place, the Marquis ap­
peared a day after their own arrival.
Tha stage cam* to a sudden halt
at a sharp turn la the road. Below
them was the canon, with almost per­
pendicular w all* at this point. The
driver sprang down.
"Boulder* serosa the
road,"
he
called out. "It's the raiders, I reck­
on."
Almost aa he spoke four men sprang
from the underbrush and leveled ri­
de* at the passengers. The Marquis
very quietly reached down after Les­
lie's suitcase, and swung It over to the
i.tarest man.
"W hat do you mean?” demanded
Lelle, half rising.
"1 regret It much, most sweet one,"
smiled (he little Marquis. “1 must
have those pearls.
I think you for
a most Joyous Journey, and will take
a kiss for memory."
Leslie's hand had reached Into her
little leather handbag. Suddenly she
whipped It out, and It held a small,
very neat revolver that Jack had giv­
en her. And while the men In the
coach stood with hands up, and the
driver lay wounded. Ijeslle Cameron
lived up to her good Virginian blood,
and shot squarely at tbe man before
her.
They arrived late, but Jack was
there to meet them. The news had
traveled faster, as they bad had to
procure another driver. He looked a
bit warm, but hesitated not a bit
when be saw the girls. And neither
did Leal I*. Most willingly did she go
to him.
"Where are the pearls?" he asked
as he released her.
"Around my neck.
I never part
with them when I am traveling," she
smiled back. "He thought they were
In the suitcase."
"Where Is be?" asked Flo, happily.
"They took him away as soon as we
reached Klcadlno."
"1 am mighty glad to announce
that they have him safe up at San
Quentin," said Burrow* heartily.
"How sad for a marquis," said Les­
lie, thoughtfully.
"A Marquis? My dear girl, little

"You sure did. They say he wUl

OBJECTED TO “ GOLD PENNY”
English Merchants Set Themselves
Against Coin That Was Minted
In 1227.
T h a Stage Came to a Halt.
That was the night when I^ s lle had
decided to wear her very prettiest
gown at dinner, the one she was re­
serving for 3anta Barbara and the
Burrows family. It was a lovely vio­
let tinted crepe de chine, and with It,
she wore the famous Cameron pearls,
the only Jewels she had brought west
with her. That evening they had met
the Marquis. He was most properly
presented by stout Mrs. Carle, the sen­
ator’s wife, who had been In the same
p irty as the girls.
"My dear, he Is charming—and a
marquis. Absolutely
Irreproachable,
so Stanley tells me. No. Stanley had
not met him before today. They be­
came acquainted as men will, you
know, and Stanley brought him to me,
and he begged to meet you. So there
you are. Believe me, his heart lies at
your feet."
That was nil, except that wherever
t i e girls had traveled thereafter, the
Marquis had appeared on their trail.
The stage left the hotel st 7 that
morning, and the girls took an outside
sent. For miles they rode steadily
upward through the mountain pass,
and the Marquis sat beside Leslie,
talking to her In the slow, Interesting
way he had. Flo, Indignant, and pre­
occupied, listened.
Somehow, she
could not like him, and to think of
dear, lovely It a lic falling n victim to a
title. She wondered what their fath­
er would say.
If only they could
reach Santa Barbnra, Jack might be
able to turn her back.
Just behind her a couple of men
were talking, and something they said
arrested her attention.
"Escaped from San Quentin, yes,
four, last week. They shot one a
few miles from here. The others are

The moet valuable penny ever coin­
ed In Great Britain was the gold pen­
ny of Henry 111. On Aug. 16, 1227, a
writ dated at Chester was Issued com­
manding the mayor of London to pro­
claim In that city that "the good
money which the king had caused to
be made should be Immediately cur­
rent there and elsewhere within the
realm of England In all transaction*
of buying and selling at the rate of
20 pennies of sterling (I.
20 silver
pennies) for every gold penny."
The time, however, was by no
means favorable for the Issue of
pieces of a denomination so much
higher than had previously been
known. Accordingly, the city of Ion-
don petitioned against these coins, and
the king Issued a proclamation that
no one should be obliged to take them.
The coins, nevertheless, continued to
be current, and In 1265 their value
was raised from 20 to 24 pence; prob­
ably equivalent in purchat’ ag power
to £ 2 of today.
It Is unlikely that any great num­
ber of these coins was ever struck.
It 1* probable that, by reason of
their high value they would soon be
melted down, for they were of pure
gold without alloy of any kind. The
collector* of today know of only three
or four specimen*. One of these was
sold for more than 1200, another for
1700 and another for 11,000.— Harper's
