rect, watching bin visitor'* face as he did
so to see whc'.her it roused any apprecia-
ble emotion and he wan not disappointed
with the result of his clever move. It was
"Check!" most decidedly. Arnold Wil-
loughby krv* a sudden st-art.
"Rufus Mortimer!" he exclaimed. "She's
going down to Cromer to stop with some
friends In the same house with Rufus Mor-
timerV'
"Yes," IVw'e answoreil carelessly. Then
he smiled to himself a curious and very
significant smile. "The fact is," he went
on lioldly, determined to make the spoke
in the other fellow's wheel a tood big
roiuid one while he was about it, "they're
very t hick toget her just now, our Kitty and
the A merican. Uet ween ourselves, as you're
• friend of the family's ami knew the dear
old mater, I dou't mind telling you—I rath-
er expect to reckon Kufus Mortimer as my
brother ln law elect before many weeks are
over." And this last remark, so far as Mr. j
Reginald's own expectations were con-
cerned, could not be condemned as wholly
untruthful.
"Are they engaged then?" Arnold asked, j
quivering Ilia worst fears were confirmed.
Failing the earl in disguise, KathWu had i
(lung herself into the arms of the Ameri-
can millionaire as next best among her i
chances.
"Well, not exactly engaged, don't you j
know," Reggie rescinded airily. "Not j
quite what you can call engaged perhaps,
but it's an understood thing all the same ,
in the family."
Arnold NVilloughby's heart sank lik*
lead. Ha didn't know why, hut somehow,
ever since that afternoon in the ice chan- j
nel, he had cherished day anil night a sort |
of irrational, instinctive

I have nevi r written."
The publisher gave a short sniff of sup-
pressed impatience, but drew his pen half
angrily through the [recant words.
"There. Will that satisfy you?" he asked.
And Arnold, glancing at it, took up the
proffered pen and signed his name at the
bottom.
Mr. Stanley drew a check and handed it
over to him. Arnold scanned it and hand-
ed it back.
"I'm afraid this won't do," he said. "It's
crossed, I see, and I happen to have no
banking account. Could you kindly give
me one drawn simply to bearer?"
"No banking acount?" the publisher
cried. This was certainly the very queer-
est sort of literary man he had ever yet
come across.
"So," Arnold answered stoutly. "You
must remember I'm nothing but a com-
mon sailor."
The man of business drew a second check,

HER
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The ne^ro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts 110 ti^'ure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants froiii different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
I.AWH,
The laws of Texas are made foi
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
HOMESTEAD LAWS
Are the most lilieral, and her col
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an iden
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
l»e its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried ^
adults, male and female.
••Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family sh ill Ik* and is hereby pro 1
tected fiom forced sale for pay- I
ment o all debts except for the i
purchane of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material'
used in constructing improve- j
ments thereon, and in this last j
case only when the work and ma j
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting. with the consent of the wife;
given in the same manner as is |
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor !
shall the owner, if a married man, I
sell the homestead without the j
consent of the wife given in such |
manner as may lie prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
all he was mistaken, and that Kathleen j
loved him. Yet now he saw once more ho ]
was in error on that point. She was really
nothing more than the self Keeking, money
loving, position hunting girl that herown i
mother hail so frankly represented her to !
be that fateful day in the rooms by the I*i- {
azza.
l'oor Kathleen! She was indeed unfortu- j
nate in her relations. At Venice it was \
Mrs. lles.-letitnve. in London it was Keggie
whoso cruelly misrepresented her to lier |
much misled lover.
Arnold didu't stop long, nor did he ask
for Kathleen's address. After all, if she |
were really going to marry Kufus Morti-
mer. it would lie a pity for him to intrud* i
at such a mome.it on her happiness. Mor- |
timer was rich and would make her com-
fortable. Money was what she wanted,
and if Kathleen wanted it
Even as he thought that hard thought j
he broke off in hisown mind suddenly. No.
no; it wasn't money she wanted, his beau-
tiful, InniK'int Kathleen
certain And yet, if she really meant to
marry Kufus Mortimer, it was at least his
duty not to step in now between the pros-
pective bride and her rich, new lover, who
could do so much more for her than ever he
himself could do.
As soon as he was gone Master Keguie
turned philosophically to Florrie and ob-
served, with a smile: "I settled his hash, 1
flatter myself. He won't bother her any
more. I've sent him about his business.
And a precious good thinj; for herself, tin),
if it comes to that, for just fancy a girl
like Kitty being tied for life to a fellow iu
sailor clothes, and badly cut at that, with
no right hand to brag about:"
Hut as for Arnold, he took his way sadly
down the crowded streets, with the last
remnants of a heart w ell nigh crushed out
of him.
However, as long as a man lives he has
to think alstut his living. Bread anil cheese
we must have, though our hearts be break-
ing. Next day accordingly Arnold called
at a well known firm of publishers in the
city, Stanley & Lockhart by name, to ask
whether any decision had yet been arrived
at about the manuscript translation from
an Italian original he had sent, them by
post from Dundee a fortnight earlier.
The senior partner, an acute looking man
with very little hair 011 li s head to boast
of, gazed hard at his visitor.
"Well, yes, Mr. Willoughby," he said,
with a dry business smile. "I've looked at
your manuscript, and our reader has re-
port til on it. and I'm free to tell you we
think very well of it. It's one of the most
brilliant bits of historical fiction we've had
submitted to us for a long time."
"Oh, I l»eg your pardon," Arnold inter
[wised, coloring slightly. "I think you're
tailoring under a misapprehension. Have
you read the introduction? I there explain
that it's translated from an Italian manu
script."
"Yes, yes," Mr. Stanley broke in, smiling
still more broadly. "I know all that, of
course. It's admirable, admirable. Noth-
ing could be better done. Falls in exactly
with the current taste for hitch spiceil anil
strongly flavored historical romance, with
a good dash of bloodshed, and theintroduc
tion itself is one of the best parts—so cir-
cumstantial and solemn and with such an
innocent air of truth and sincerity."
"Hut it is true, you know," Aruold cried,
annoyed at being doubted, which was the
one thing u man of his sensitive houor
done so.
"But where did you learn Italian?" he
asked. "And how did you pick up all this
intimate knowledge of Elizabethan Eng-
land and Spain and Italy?"
"You forget that was all in the manu-
script," Arnold answered simply. The pub-
lisher waved his hand again. 'Twas an im-
patient wave. There was really no dealing
with a fellow like this, who told a lie and
stuck to it.
"Ah, true," ho mused reflectively, with
the same curious smile. "Well, Mr. Wil-
lotlghby, I should say you have a great fu-
ture in fiction before you."
Arnold harilly knew whether to accept
that remark as a compliment or otherwise.
lint as he descended the publisher's stairs
that morning he had got rid of the copy-
right and all property and interest in a
work entitled "An Elizabethan Seadog" to
Messrs. Stanley ik I.ockhart, their heirs
and executors, iu consideration of the sum
of i. -i). And Mr. Stanley w as saying to Mr.

We will agree that it is esseutially a work

Fifty pounds down is a big sum to a be-
ginner, and the beginner would most often
be justified in jumping at it.
At any rate, Arnold jumped at it. His
face flushed with pleasure.
"I should be delighted," he said, "to ac-
cept such an offer. And the book would
come out?"
"At the beginning of the new season.
Very well, then, that's settled." Mr. Stan-
ley took npa blank form of agreement lying

tout rary, internal traces of beingdue to the
sp.ightlj- wit of a very young lady ac-
quainted with the clerical society of a
northern cathudral town, but little at home
in the great world of London." Kufus
Mortimer almost laid down the paper i'i
disgust. Hetter surely the fellowship ol
the eternal hills, the myriad buzz of the
bees, the purple heather, than the solicitous
echoes of this provincial gossip.
But just as he was going to flingthe jour-
nal ilowu iu his distaste his eye chanced to
light upon a single belated paragraph
wedged in between twoothers near the end
of the column. "Messrs. Stanley & Lock
hart will publish almost immediately a
new and stirring romance of the armada
period, entitled 'An Klizabethan Seadog,'
purporting to be written by one John Col
lingham, a Norfolk sailor, who was im
pristined.in Spain by the inquisition for re
fusing to abjure t he 'damuable doctrine of
her grace's supremacy.' It is announced as
'translated aud edited by Arnold Wil-
loughby' ana is described iu their circular
as being one of the most thrilling works of
adventure published since the beginning of
the present revived taste for the literature
of romantic exploits."
I n a moment Kufus Mortimer had jumped
up from his seat on the overblown heather.
In acco-dance with his promise to Kath-
leen, he had lieen hunting for weeks to find
Arnold Willoughby, and now by pure
chance he had lighted unawares on a sin-
gular clew to his rival's whereabouts.
Kufus Mortimer was a man of his word.
Moreover, like all the higher natures, he
was raised far above above the petty mean-
ness of jealousy. J,f he loved Kathleen, he
could not help desiring to do whatever
would please her. even though it were that
bard task to find K>r her sake the lover who
was to supplant him. Afc soon as he read
those words he had but one thought in bis
mind -he must go up to town at once and
see whether Stanley and Lockhart could
supply him with the address of their new
aut hor.
In live minutes more he was back at his
lodgings, whither he had comedown partly
for rest ami change after liis fresh disap-
pointment, partly to paint a little purple
ge:n of ICuglish mom iajitl landscape for an
American exhibition. lie turned to his
Brad-haw eagerly. An up train would be
due in 'JO minute
ca.ch it, for his rooms on the hilltop lay
more than a mile from the station, but off
he set at a run, so eager was he to find out
the truth about Arnold Willoughby. At
the station lie had just time to di.-patch a
hasty telegram up to town to Kathleen:
"Am ou the track of the missing man.
Will wire again tonight. Have good hopes
of finding him," when the train steamed
in. and he jumped impetuously into a first
cl.iss carriage.
At Waterloo he hailed a hansom and
drove straight to Stanley & Lockhart's.
He sent up his card and asked if he might
see oue of the partners. The American
millionaire's name was well enough known
in London to secure him at once a favora-
ble reception. Mr. Stanley received him
with the respect justly due to so many
hard dollars. He came provided with
the universal passport. Rufus Mortimer
went straight to the business in hand.
Could Mr. Stanley inform him of the pres-
ent address of Mr. Arnold Willoughby,
the editor of this new book, "An ^Vrn-
bethan Seadog?"
