CHAPTER XIV.
The following morning Webster In
formed Dolores fully of his Interview

night before, concealing from her only
the fact that he was financing the
revolution and his reasons for financ
ing it. He was still depressed, and

find herself weeping softly because
John Stuart Webster was unhappy
and didn't deserve to be. ,
It was Impossible, however, for
Webster long to remain Impervious to
the note of ridiculousness underlying
the forthcoming tragic event. Here
was a little 2x4 poverty-stricken hot

"Well. I've had one comfort ever

"Very well, sor." Don Juan replied,
and crawled hack under the ware
house. Half an hour luter the sound of
hoof beats warned him of the ap

"It would never do to go aboard the i

He was John Stuart Webster again
when Dolores saw him next; during
the succeeding days his mood of :
cheerfulness and devil-may-care Indlf- ,
ference never left him. And through-
out that period of marking (line Do
lores was much In his society, a con
dition which he told himself was not
to his liking but which, nevertheless. ,
he could not obviate without seeming
Indifferent to her happiness. And to j
permit his friend's fiancee to languish j
In loneliness and heart-break did not ,
appear to John Ptuart Webster as the
part of n true friend or a courtly gen-1
tlenian and he remembered that she j
had once called him that. .
They rode together In the coo of the j
morning; they drove together on the i
Mulecon In the cool of the evening; I
chaperoned by Don Juan Cafetero and
a grinning Sohrantenn, they went shark '
fishing in Leber's launch ; they played (
dominoes together; they discussed, i
throughout the long, lazy, quiet after- j
noons, when the remainder of their
world retired for the siesta, hooks, art, 1
men, women, and things.
And not once, throughout two weeks
of camaraderie, did the heart-racked
Webster forget for a single Instant
that be was the new friend, destined
to become the old friend; never, to
the girl's watchful eyes, did he he
tray the slightest disposition to estab
lish their friendly relations on a closer
basis.
Thus did the arrival of The Day
find them. Toward sunset they rode
out together along the bay shore and
noted far otit to sea the smear of
smoke thnt marked the approach of
La I'.strellita on schedule time.
"Yon will go aboard her tonight,"
Webster said very quietly to Dolores. :
"And your j

eagerly of th trend sf events ashore.

way." He handed Dolores out on the
landing stage, tossed their baggage
after her and followed; Don Junn
took the wheel, and the launch slid
out and left them there.

that he would continue to investigate
and It he found her ir.noce.it all
would be different.
Mrs. Vainer then dea-ribrl her
trip to Salisbury, going then? only af
ter believing that she would - h r
husband there. But while on the
outskirts of Salisbury, Mr. Sini, her
escort on the trip, told her, that she
would not be able to see Mr. Vainer,
that he had gone to Denton.
After entraining Mrs. Varner said
that Mr. Sink told her: "I hope you'll

sition objected and the court ruled
in its favor.
Mrs. Varner said she reached Salt
Lake City August 17: that she re
turned to North Carolina Sept. SO.
"Why did you come back?" asked
Mr. Sapp.
"To defend my character."

T. A. Ynrboroiigh Was Heelug 1-rom
Sheriff Abemethy When His Car
Over Turned.
T. A. Yarborough, of Columbia, S.
C, was killed In an automobile ac
cident at Alexas, near Llncolton. Fri
day afternoon, dying about 7 o'clock
and his companion, a man named Al
ley, also from Colubia, is In Jail and
probably will be charged with trans
porting liquor. The car In which the
men were riding and 60 gallons or li
quor contained in the car are in tho
possession of the sheriff of Lincoln
county; that Is. what remains of the
car after It 'had wiped up the eartn
witn itseir. w nen going at a tu-
mile clip, tt struck a rock and sonier-.
snulted on the county road. ,
A thrilling chase with the Colum
bia man In the lead, and Sheriff J. L.
Abernethy, of Lincoln county, and
deputies In pursuit, preceded the
tragedy. Some time before the fatal
accident Yarborough and Alley pass
ed through Llncolton. A farmer
coming In behind them reported to
the sheriff that they had whiskey.
He had discovered the presence of
the contraband because of a leak in
one of the receptacles In which It
was being hauled. Gradually oozing
out, a few drops at a time, the fra
grance had saturated the car, all un
known to the occupants, for. being
saturated themselves, perhaps, they
were unable to detect or rather to
segregate the ode of the escaping
thrill producer.
