toward his own hotel. It was true.

emissary of .Tephson was serving a
cause that could ;iot lose. That after

Mr. Minot tossed the bill Into the
street. Into his eyes caruo the ghost
like semblance of a smile. After all.
the famous Ilarrowby wedding had not
ret taken place.
The next day the Uaiety girl left
town. Her cheerful mood was ex
plained when Lord Harcourt. In great
distress, told Minot that she had sold
her love letters to the owner of the
Mall who threatened to publish them
if he wasn't paid ?10,000. Minot hunt
ed up Jack Paddock and told him the

Mail office.
CHAPTER XI.
Hard Lines For Gonzale.
'NEXLL sat behind a tleslc, the
encyclopedia before him, seek
ing lively material for the mor
row's Issue. Mr. Howe ham
mered at a typewriter. Bolh of the
newspaper men looked up at the intru
sion.
"Ah, gentlemen," said O'Neill, com
ing forward. "What can I do for you?"
"Who are you?" Minot asked.
"What? Can it be? Is my name not
a household word in San Marco? I am
managing editor of the Mail." Ilia
eyes lighted on Mr. Paddock's giddy
attire. "We can't possibly let you give
a ball here tonight, if that's what you
want."
"Very humorous," said Minot. "But
our wants are far different. I won't
beat around the hush. You have some
letters here written by a friend of mine
/T m

that back?"
to a lady ho adored—at the moment
You are going to print them iu tomor
row's .Mail unless my friend Is easy
enough to pay you $ 10.000. lie Isn't
going to pny you anything. We've
come for tiiose letters, and we'll get
them or run you and your boss out of
town iu twenty-four hours, you raw
little blackmailers!"
"Blackmailers!" Mr. O'Neill's eyes
seemed to catch (lrc from his hair. Ills
face paled. "I've been In the newspa
per business seventeen years, and no
body ever called m n blackmailer and
got away with It. !'m In a generous
mood. I'll give you one chance to take
that back"—
"Nonsense. It happens to be true"—
put In Paddock.
"I'm talking to your friend here."
O'Neill's breath came fast. "I'll attend
to you, you lily of the field, in a min
ute. You—you liir—are you going to
lake that back?"
"Xo!" cried Minot.
lie saw a wild Irishman coming for
him, breathing fire, lie squared him
self to meet the attack. But the man
at the typewriter leape.1 up and seized
O'Neill from behind.
"Steady. Dob!" he shouted. "IIow do
you know this fellow Isn't ri.ht?"
Unaccountably the warlike one col
lapsed Into a chair.
"Liang it, I know lie's right," he
groaned. "That's what makes me rave.
Why didn't yon let me punch him? It
would have !>r>cn some satisfaction. Of
course he's right. I had a hunch this
was a blackmailing sheet from the
moment my hot fingers closed on Gou
zale's money. But so long as nobrdy
told us, we were all right."
lie glurcd angrily at Minot.
"You—vou killjoy," he cried. "You
skeleton at the feast. You've put us in
a lovely fix."
"Well. I m sorry, sai<i .>iiuin, uui
I duu't understand these heroics.'
"Us all up now. Hurry," maimed
O'Xeill. "The free trial Is over and
we've pot to send the real tress back
to the factory. Here in this hollow lotus
land, ever to live and lie reclined—I
was putting welcome on the mat for
a fate like that Back to the road for
us. That human fish ovep In the
Chronicle ofllce was a prophet—'You
look unlucky—mnybe they'll give you
jobs on the Mali,' Remember."
"Cool off. Bob," Ilowe said. He
turned to Minot and Taddock. "Of
course you don't understand. You
see. we're strangers here. Drifted in
last night broke and hungry, looking
for jobs. We got them—under rather
unusual circumstances. Things looked
suspicions—the proprietor parted with
money without screaming for help, and
no regular newspaper is run like that
Rut—when you're dowu and out, you
know"—
"I understand." said Minot, smiling.
"And I'm sorry I called you what I
31d. I adologlze. And I hate to be
a—cr-a killjoy. Cut as a matter of
fact, your employer is a blackmailer,
and it's best you should know it"
"Yes," put in Paddock. "Do you
gentlemen happen to have heard where
the editor of Mr. Gonzale's late news
paper, published in Havana, is now?"
"We do not." said O'Xeill, "but may
be you'll tell us."
"I -will. He's In prison doing ten
years for blackmail. I understand that
Mr. Gonzale prefers to lnvolye^his
editors, iTuh'er than himself."
O'Neill came over and held out his
hand to Minot.
"Shake, son." he said "Thank God
I didn't waste my strength on you.
Gonzale will be in here in a minute."
"About those letters?" Howe In
quired.
"Yes," said Minot "They were writ
ten to a Gaiety actress by a man who
Is in San Marco for his wedding next
t Tuesday—Lord ITarrowby."
"Ills ludship again," O'Neill remark
ed. "Say. I always thought the south
was democratic."
"Well," said Howe, "we owe you
fellows something for putting us
wise. We've stood for a good deal, but
naver for blackmailing. As a matter of
fact, Gonzale hasn't brought the letters
in yet, but he's duo at any minute.
When he comes, take the letters away
from him. I shan't interfere. How
about you, nob?"'
'Til Interfere," said O'Neill, "and I'll
Interfere strong, if I think you fellows
ain't leaving enough of little Manuel
for me to fuW.'
