All 1 can do is the best I can do. So permit me now to efface- my own Identity and become merely the story teller relat ing the story of "Tho Fifth Man." Five men wern seated around a table :i a luxuriously furnished library, 'ihe.-.e Tie iu-n were engaged in sev er::! d.ffcroitt professions In which each had siill lo make his "mark." '"he library was In the house of Thomas Wynn, attorneyatlaw Wynn was one whose wealth did not In the leus-t mean any abatement of ambition in his chosen profession. Wynn was the host of the evening. His butler now appeared with a tray containing a carafe of w ine and fite glasses. The French clock on the mantel struck midnight. The live men lifted their filled glasses and Wynn said: ; "Hoys, it is midnight and our little club is about to disbaud. For two years wo have met here every Satur day night to exchange thoughts on the meaning of life and discuss the fight that all must fight to attain success. You, my four closest friends, are about to leave the city of New York to go to four different parts of the world to ;!crforni professional taBka that may or may not crown you with the wreath of laurel. Shall we now, t-iys, pledge ourselves to meet again at a certain specified time when each will relate his experiences In his chosen field? : nd when each will set forth the rea sons for his success or the causes of his failure! What say you?" All four of Wynn's guests agreed to this proposition and each expressed his opinion as to when and where they should meet. To put into writing the consensus of Ideas relating to the meeting, Wynn wrote the following: "We, the undersigned, do solemnly rlrdge ourselves, if we live, to meet in the home of Thomas Wynn, New York city, at nine o'clock in the eve ning, exactly live years from this date." Tho first to sign thie document was Wynn himself. The second signature was that of Doctor Saddler, the physi cian of the party. The third to sign was William l!erry, who had special ized In railroad engineering. The fourth signature read: "Happy Galla gher" the signer being a civil engi neer. And then then the pen was handed to the Fifth Man. The fifth man was easily the most distinguished looking of the group. He was tall and broad shouldered and he looked the picture of health. His manner expressed ease and self-confidence and reserve strength. In short, everything about this fifth man gos siped of lofty character, good breed ing, high ideals and a well-ordered mind. And this fifth man signed his name thus John Gaunt. The specified five years had passed. The time was now a few minutes be fore nino on the evening of the date mentioned in the signed paper where in the five men had agreed to meet. In his library Thomas Wynn was waiting anxiously for the arrival of his four friends. To him now came a charming young woman his wife. "I know what Is to happen tonight, dear," she said, "and I suppose you will want to be alone with your friends." "Yes, sweetheart," Wynn replied. "It would necesarily be a stag party at least until after we have swapiied our yams covering our experiences In the Inst five years." A little girl toddled Into the room in her night clothes. "Naughty!" cried the mother. "You ran away from bed." "1 came to say another grnrtntht to my papa," the little one said. : And papa took her In his arms and kisM-d her again and again. "And now," the mother said, you sleepyhead, flood night, ; slip added, turning to Wynn. nkht -for tho present." "Don't wait up," Wynn said. "Her uapa their stories will be so long that we shall sit here till the wee, small ; hours. If we have finished in a rea sonable time, however, I will call you to meet my four friends." "Four?" she said, inquiringly. "How do you know there will be four? You ray there are two from whom you have not heard for a very long time." Wynn sighed. "Well, it is one min ute before ulne now," he said. "Anoth er minute will reveal whether there shall be gathered here tonight three Horry was bronzed of face and physi cally the perfection of "litness " "Hello, boys!" he cried, with great exuberance of youthful spirit and en tl ui:ism.

"Head It!" he said, passing the cablegram to the otic ri. 11 nus from "Happy" Gallagher. It read: "Quei u's Hospital, "Bombay, India.

The second man was 11111 Adler. a much liiote successful prospector "Why, hanged If 11 uln't John Gaunt!" Adler exclaimed, upon meet ing me at the entrance to one of the copper mines. "Glad to see you. boys," I said. "Where from Hnd where bound?" "1 m Just up from Cential America." Adler replied. "Say, Gaunt, there's gold down there heaps of It for the picking. I'm looking for a man with a little more capital than 1 possess to go In with me and make a prospect ing trip down there In Honduras." "Tell you whut," put In the Irreprea ' Plble Josh Clarke. "You two fellows put tip the money and pay my fare dev. n there und I'll go with you. Three's a safer company than Iwo In that country wheie the natives will kill you for your hat you bet!" The result of this encounter with my old friends was that I Invited them over lo my looms and there, at lust, I agreed to hazard what little money I had on the proposed prospecting trip In Central America. "I'll pilot this crowd right back to the place where I left off, unless we learn of a better place," Adler said. "It was away In the. mountains In the Interior far from white men. I had Ise lhat spotted gold there, but I hadn't any money to get machinery in und work the claim." The result of all this was that 1 re signed in y good position as milling en gineer In liutte, went to New York with my tr friends and there tin burkd on a trump ship bound for Honduras. We outfitted at the Utile coast town where the. vessel put us off -and start ed for the Interior. After weeks of hardship and privation we arrived at a little settlement of grass huts where all the Inhabitants were blacks the settlement In which Adler had made his headquarters on his former visit to the country. These blacks spoke Rpunish. One Jay while we wore gathering equip- niprt fer th dash Info the mountains I happened to overhear one of the 1 blacks talking to a group of his fel lows. Said this black: "HI Toro was here today anil bought ' provisions. Strange thing about El ! Toro. He always pays In gold. Where den he get that gold?" T his talk of gold alone would have aroused my deepest Interest, consid ering that I had everything at slake on finding gold on this trip. IUU the Mack talked of 'El Toro'-a bull and told how El Toro had bought provi sions. How could a bull buy provi sions ? I accosted the blacks and the one who had been telling of El Toro answered my questions about the bull Ih us: "HI Toro, senor." he said. "Is a mad man. He came here as an explorer w ars ago. He took a black man wilh l iiii Into the Interior on a si ieiitlilc ex pedition in search nf rare specimens nf our animal and bower life. In the Jungle this scientist went inntl. So did his black iimiii, whom he calls Chaeha. The result was, senor. that the white Fcientlst and the black man both remained In the Jungle They bull'. : huts and there they still live to this day. We leave them alone, because ; they attack any man who approaches their huta-attuck with spears fero ciously and murderously. So we stay away. The thing that amazes us, how ever.

Oh. my God! It was pitiful! Here John Gaunt stopped speaking and gazed Into the fire on the hearth, tortured by his memories of the girl In the cage. His friends, exchanging looks of pity, remained quiet till the Fifth Man resumed his story, thus: CHAPTER V. The Girl In the Cage. I sprang to the cage wherein was confined the loveliest woman I had ever eeen. And 1 sought, madly, with my bare hands, to tear av ay the thick wooden bars. "Who are you?" I asked, while thus engaged. "What are you doing here?" "They have held me here for two years," she cried. And then, in piti ful supplication, she entreated me to release her.
