The scheme was very neut, and, aa far aa th Preal dent and myself were concerned, he had been no more than Just In pointing out Its advantages. As for the direetora, they would probably get their interest: any how, they would get it for two year. There waa risk, of course ; a demand for evidence of my alleged investmenta or a auilden order to res. lire a heavy aum at abort notice would bring the bouse about my ears. Hut I did not anticipate this. "Well, Mr. Martin," said the President, "do you agree'" I still heaituted. The President rose and put hi hand on my shoulder. "Hetter aay yea. I might tak It, you know, and cause you to disappear be lieve me. with reluctance, Mr. Martin It Is t rue I shouldn't like this course. It would perhaps make my position here un tenable. Hut not having the money would certainly make it untenable." I aaw the force of this argument, and aaid : aid the President, pleasantly, Jonea being thus made aware of the havoc the draught wa playing with hia airy covering, hastily closed tne door, and said to me appealinglyt "It's all right, air, I suppose?" Perfectly right," aaid I. "Hut highly confidential," added the President. "And you will put me under a personal obligation, Mr. Jones, and the same time fulfill your duty to your employers. If you preserve alienee till the transaction 1 officially announced. A man who serves me does not regret It." Here be wa making the most of an other opportunity Jonea this time. Enough of this," I aaid. "I will go over the matter In the morning, Ilia excellency walked up to Jonea and to "I can refuse your excellency nothing." "Then take your hat and come along the bank," said he. Thia waa sharp work. "Your excellency doea not mean to take the money now tonight?" I exclaimed. "Not to take, Mr. Martin to receive it from you. We have made our bargain. What ia the objection to carrying it out Iromptly?" "Rut I must have th bond. They must be prepared, ir." "They are here," he said, taking a bundle from the drawer of a writing ta t.le. "$:ttO,no0 0 per cent stock, signed by myself, and countersigned bv Ion An. tonio.

The President walked briskly, silent but serene; I f,l. lowed, the trouble in my mind reflected in a somewhat hang dog air, and I was much comforted when the President broke the stillness ot the night by saying: "lou have set your foot on the first rung of the ladder that leada to fame and wealth, Mr. .Martin." I waa ratner airaul I bad aet it on the first rung of the ladder that leads to the gallows. Hut there the foot was; what the ladder tnrned out to be waa In the han.ls or the gods; ao I threw off care and as we entered the Piaiza I pointed to tne statue, and said: "Hehold my Inspiring example, your ex celleney !" "Exactly," he replied, 'I make the moat of my opportunltlea." I knew he regarded me a one of his opportunities, and waa making the most of me. Thla la not a pleasant point of view to regard one a self from, so changed the subject, and said: . "Shall we call for Ikm Antonio?" "Why?" "Well, aa he's minister of finance. tliounht perhaps his presence would make the matter more regular." "If the presence of the President." ! tint otli -inl, "enn't m:ike a matter regular, 1 d m't know wh:t eim.

You can hardly expect me to tell Jones anything, hcyoml that it's a fin morning" We had now reached the hank, which t,vl In Liberty street, a turning out of th Plata. I took out my key, unlocked Silent men prosper beat, and lira lane est, Mr. Jones." Jones looked Into his steely eyes, and suddenly ell all of a tremble. The President was MtUfied. He ab ruptly pushed him out of the room, and we heard hia ahambling steps going up the staircase. Hi excellency turned to me, and ald with apparent annoyance : ' You leave a great deal to me, Mr. Martin." He had certainly done more titan tell Jonea it wa a fine morning. Hut I wa too much troubled to thank him ; I was thinking of the cable. The Resident di vined my thoughts', and said; "I must prepare that cable." "Yea," I replied; "that would rena- sure him. Hut I haven't had much nrae- ice In that sort of thing, and I don't quite know " The I 'resident acrlbbled a few words on a bit of paper, and said: "Take that to th poatoflice, and they'll give you the proper form; I will fill It up." Certainly some thinga go easily If the head of the State ia your fellow criminal. "And now, Mr. Martin, it grows lute, have my securities; you have your bonds. We have won over Jones, All goes well. Aureataland la saved. You have made your fortune, for there lie your $i !", Ht. And, in fine, I am much obliged to you. I will not trouble you to attend me on my return. Good night, Mr. Martin " He went out. and I threw myself down In my office chair, and sat gaxing at the bonds he had left me. I wondered wheth er be bad merely made a tool of me : whether I could trust him : whether I had done well to rely on hia promises. And yet there lay my reward; and I soon arose, put the government bonds and the $tlo,tlO In securities In the safe, locked up everything, and went home to my lodg ings. Ai i went in it was broad day light, for the dock bad gone five, and I met Father Jacques sallying forth. He had already breakfaated, and wa on his way to administer early consolation to tb flower women lu the Plana. II stopped me with a grieved look, and said Ah, my friend, these are untimelr hours." I saw I was laboring under an unlust suspicion. "I have only Just come from the bank. I had to dine at the Oolden House and afterward returned to finish up a bit of worn. "Ah, that I well," he cried. "It I then th Industrious and not the Idle an. prentice I meet?" referring to a aeriea of famou print with which my room waa decorated, a gift from my father on my ueisriure. I nodded and paswed an. aaylng to my sen: ery Industrious, Indeed. Not many men have done auch a nigbt'a work a I have." And that Is how my fortune became bound np with those f tb Aureataland national debt. CIIAPTEIt IV. Alter the Incident above recorded, things went on quietly enough for som month.

However. I explained to hill the consideration of hich policy, dictatin inviolable secrecy, and Justifying a some what arbitrary way of dealing with a trusted official : and the marked gracious- ness wl:h which Jones waa received when he met the "resident at the Ministry o! Finance on current business went far to obliterate hi unpleasant recollections. further bound bim to mv fortunes by b- ' talnlng for him ri of aalary from tb directors, "in conseutienc of the favora ble renort of bU conduct received (row Mr. Martin." Peaceful a mattera seemed. I waa not ul!oethee at ease. To begin with, th new loan did not apparently at all lin prove the financial position of Aureata land. Insolation still reigned on th scene of tbe harbor works: there wa th usual difficulty In paying alarle and meeting current expenditure. Th I real dent did not Invite my confidence a to the disposal of hi fund; indeed tWor long I wa alarmed to see a growing cold ness In his manner, which I considered at one ungrateful and menacing: and when th half-year came round he firmly refus ed to jj,btre bit than half the araoant of interest due on the second loan, tbu forcing me to nsk 9"i !r;r?!s4 M my re. err of $4.1.000. He gave me many good reason for this course of conduct, dwell lug chiefly on the neceary unproductive- ties of public work in tbeir early stages, and confidently promising full payment with arrear next time. Nevertheless I began to ae that I must face tb possi billty of a continual drain on resource that I bad fondly hoped woul be avail able for my own purpoae for a comic erable time at least. Tbu one thing and another contributed to open a breach be tween bl excellency and myself, and, al though I never ceased to feel hia charm as a private companion, my aiarrusi 01 him a ruler, and. I may add, aa a fellow- conspirator, ateadily deepened. Other nfluence were at thla time at work In the same direction.
