CHAPTER XXIII.
Sir Donald Faversham Volunteers.
IN bis search for the Ilindn,'
who bad bought the idol con
talulng the plans of the moth
er lode of the .'Master Key"
mine, Johu Dorr had recourse. again ta
the pawnbroker. f
That Individual's curiosity was arous
ed by now. and he asked a great many
questlous, whlcli John answered eva
sively. : ,''''.
When it came to getting a descrip
tion of the lliudu the broker could give
but few details.
He laid emphasis on the fact that he
sold rugs and that he looked like any
one of a dozen East Indians frequent
ing a Pacific port. He knew of no ad
dress. With this Dorr bad to be content, and
be returned to Hutu to discuss with
her what they should do next.
"If VVIlkerson gets it there is an easy
way to get him," he said in the course
of their conversation.
"HowV demanded Itutb. .
"Have him arrested as a fugitive from
Justice and held for the county sherffl
and the warrant that Toui Kaue swore
out," he replied.
Ruth considered this thoughtfully
and shook her head.
"It would mean our going back to
the mine and all kinds of trouble," she
said wisely. "Besides, we wouldn't be
any nearer the papers father wanted
me to have."
"That i3 very true,'' John agreed
"We'll keep that in reserve in case
we discover that he has the idol. Our
only plan, then, is to trace this Hindu,
That w ill be a hard job."
"Why not put detectives on the
trail?"
"I don't think any detective could do
better than myself." was the reply.
"But you can't do it all," she argued.
"You can't be looking for this peddler
and keeping an eye on Wilkerson and
seeing to me at the same tfme.y
"The seeing to you Is the pluasantest
part of the Job." he said laughingly.
"I refuse to delegate that to any one.
Of course you're quite right, though,
about it's being too big an affair for
me to handle alone. I think I'll ask
Everett to join us. Maybe he can sug
gest something. I'll wire him, and
then we'll take a trip down to the wa
ter front and interview our Jaunehtnan
again. He seemed to me a pretty level
beaded chnp, and he'll maybe be tfble
to put us on the track of the Hindu if
be took a steamer for the north, as I
strongly suspect he did."
Ruth could not understand why the
peddler should do this. , and Dorr ex
plained ftwt the Hindu evidently had
set great srwjeon the Idol, as he had
not only paid casnfcut had given a nig
as well in excha
"He woulcTkhow that the thing was
worthless as an article of merchan

he wasted no time in getting posses
sion of it once be saw it. I bare no
doubt that It is sacred In bis eyes n

. Before they left he promised to kee.

them if he got the smallest clew. Witt

qairies elsewhere developed nothing
helpful.
Everett arrived on the evening train
and after dinner listened to the story
of their adventures with great Interest
When he had asked a few questions
he and John looked at each other.
Finally Everett spoke.
"It might take years to locate that
lode without the exact plans," he said
thoughtfully. "I don't doubt that your
father, Miss Ruth, spent many a long
hour and day prospecting for It. So
we must have the plans if it's in the
bounds of possibility to recover them.
I think you will have to And your
Hindu."
"There Is the question of the mine."
John said soberly. "It has already

be should see the chance' of a great
reward for doing a pious duty and re

'But that's all guesswork," Ruth in
listed practically.

good guess Is better than nothing tc
work on. Lot's go and see onr skipper

The launch captain received then-.

ruin. Tom Kane would do his best, of
course, but actually we are looking for
the bird in the bush when we have one
in the hand."
"I see your point," the promoter said
promptly. "My offer of days ago still
holds good. I'll ttmiu.ee this matter to
the end. and I'll look after the mint
too. So you can be care free so far as
that goes. Jolia."
"You know I wouldn't take it foi
myself.'' John began awkwardly and
was silenced by a smile.
The next -'.morning they had barely
unislied breakfast when the launch
captain was announced.
The three of theiii found him biyst
lug with i.ews.
"1 think I located your Hindu." he
told them, "lie came down at day
light this morning looking for a stenuv
eft sailing for the north. The Halcyon
leaves at noon, and the steward gave
him a job in the galley."
"But it might be another Hindu"
Ruth suggested. -
The" .-captain turned toward her and
shook his head. "I don't thiiid it's j
possible,"' be' said. "He answered the!
description clear down to the rugs
Besides that, he seemed kind 'of nerv
ous, and when one of the sailors jollied
him the man nearly had a fit. I'm
acre he's your man."
"There's only one thing for you to
do," Everett said promptly "take pas
sage.on that steamer yourselves to Sun
Francisco. Bv that time vou can be
pretty sure whether he's your man ot
not." ;
This was agreed upon, and Rutr
started on her rations immediate
ly, Everett 'Insisting-that she take hoi
maid with her.
"But I dou't need herf Ruth protest
ed. "She's so expensive too!"
"You are merely a youngster." Ever
ett said quietly, "and you must have
a woman traveling with you. It is ar
right to do as you like in the mities.
where no one would dream of speak
ing evil or thinking It. but Mrs. Oruu
dy Insists on the maid."
John agreed with Everett and de
parted to get the tickets, in spite o'
Everett's warning that he had bettei
aend and get them.
The result was that George Drake
just landed from the mine and In
search of Wilkerson. found him shad
owing Dorr. ,
Drake explained his coming by say
ing that be had beard nothing from
either Wilkerson or Mrs. Darnell, and
be could be of no use at the "Mastei
Key."
"It's Just as well.' Wilkerson said
sulkily. "I bare a.. dozen things to at
tend to. and you tau" help, The flrsl
la not to let that mua Dorr get out ol
onr sight or turn n hand onles w
know it."
j In a fevr sentences filled with bitter
gress In her passions, and now sb
could not give up her sweet revenge
nor forego the thought of possessing
the wealth which had once been Tom
Gallon's and which he bad tried to
conceal. .
She agreed to go, and they decided
to leave by train that evening, thus
being in San Francisco in time to meet
the steamer and watch for Dorr's next
movement.
Two days later Everett again met
John and Ruth in the hotel in San
Francisco.
John's news was that the nindu thej
sought had undoubtedly been on the
Halcyon and that John had bought a
steerage passage for Bombay.
"You ought to get the plans before
you get to India." Everett said ear
nestly. "You'll find yourself in a strange
land, where It will be like looking
for a needle in a haystack to get hold
of your man."
Dorr acknowledged this and outlined
his tentative plan of getting hold of
the idol during the passage.
"After all. we don't want the idol.
I shall try to persuade the man of this
and get him to let me have the papers
concealed lu it," '
At this moment Sir Donald Faver
sham was announced.
The entrance of the Englishman who
had made himself so attentive to Ruth
at the southern hotel awakened little
enthusiasm in either Dorr or Everett,
but for Ruth's sake they played the
civil part.
She, on the other hand received Sir
Donald with every evidence of lively
pleasure.
"We are this minute talking of go
ing over to India, where you lived so
long," she told him after the first
greetings. "And you are Just the man
to tell us all about It."
"Going to India!" ejaculated the bar
onet. "My word!"
"Yes," she proceeded, "We are aft
er a Hindu and his Idol."
At this point John laughingly came
to the rescue and briefly explained the
object of their quest. -
Sir Donald- listened quietly, occasion
ally glancing at Ruth, whose beauty
was enhanced v pretty excitement.
At the conclusion of the tale ho
nursed the end of his stick awhile lu
very appaseut perplexity.
"You know, my dear fellow," he
said, addressing John, "that India Is
a large country filled with millions of
different races. Even granting that
this man is a Hindu and that your
surmise about the Idol Is correct, I
don't see how you are going to accom
plish anything." - :
"That Is just where you can help
us!" said Ruth impulsively.
For the Instant Sir Donald actually
blushed with embarrassment j
Then he gathered himself together
and went into details of what they
must expect and the difficulties they
must encounter.
"If you could only go along!" Ruth
said plaintively when he had got them
thoroughly discouraged. "You could
talk their horrid language and make
them behave.";
"By Jove." said the baronet, smiling.
"that's not a half bad idea! I have
nothing to do, and I might as well see
the chaps in India again as stay here."
"You know. Sir Donald was in the
army there." Ruth explained to Ever
ett.".':'
.-.Brought ii there." Faversham odd
ed. "Know India pretty well. I rea'
!y believe I'll go with you If you'll c
cept f my company.. What a larkf
neither John nor Everett received
this proposal with undue warmth, but
Ruth found it delightful, and before
any of them realized tho seriousness
of the conversation everything had
been arranged.
'Outside Fa 'yers ha in spoke to Dorr as
man to infiii.
"I don't want to thrust myself on
you In any way." be said briefly. "I
happen to know India and to lie sun
that I can be of service to you. In
fact I should think it a Jolly trip.
But If you think I took advantage of
the little lady's conrtey say so."
Entirely disirmed. .lohn Dorr bad
to confess that Sir Donald's differ-relieved
him of a ' responsibility, too
heavy for him.
The two parted the best of friends.
though John could not refrain from an
expression of jealousy to himself.
But he knew that Ruth's Interest
were now doubly safeguarded and
tried to restrain his unruly heart.
As the steamer sailed the next da.
they bad little time for their prepnra
Uons. but John made sure that thi
Hindu was on board before the lasi
line was cast off and the big llnei
backed Into the stream and headed
lowly round for the channel to tb
open sea.
