CHAPTER XIII.
HEN Dr. Walker
had departed, the
Admiral packed all
his possessions back
Into his sea chest,
with the exception
of one little braes-
bound desk. This
he unlocked, and
took from It a dozen
or so blue sheets of
paper all mottled
over with stamps
and seals, with very large V. R.'s
printed upon the heads of them. He
tied these carefully Into a small bundle,
and placing them in the inner pocket of
his coat, he seized his stick and hat.
"Oh, John, don't do this rash thing,"
cried Mrs. Denver, laying her hands
upon his sleeve. "I have seen so little
of you, John. Only three years since
you left the service. Don't leave me
again. I know it is weak of me, but I
cannot bear It."
"There's my own brave lass," said
he, smoothing down the grey-shot hair.
"We've lived In honor together, mother,
and, please God, in honor we'll die. No
matter how debts are made, they have
got to be met, and what the boy owes
we owe. He has not the money, and
how is he to find It? He can't find it.
What then? It becomes my business,
and there's only one way for it."
"But it may not be so very bad, John.
Had we not best wait until after he
sees these people tomorrow?"
"They may give him little time, lass.
Put I'll have a care that I don't go so
far that I can't put back again. Now,
mother, there's no use holding me. It's
got to be done, and there's no sense in
shirking it." He detached her fingers
from his sleeve, pushed her gently back
Into an arm-chair, and hurried from the
house.
In less than half an hour the Admiral
was whirled into Victoria Station and
found himself amid a dense bustling
throng, who jostled and pushed in the
crowded terminus. His errand, which
had seemed feasible enough in his own
room, began now to present difficulties
in the carrying out, and he puzzled over
how he should take the first steps.
Amid the stream of business men, each
hurrying on his definite way, the old
seaman In his grey tweed suit and black
soft hat strode slowly along, his head
sunk and his brow wrinkled in per-
plexity. Suddenly an idea occurred to
him. He walked back to the railway
stall and bought a dally paper. This
he turned and turned until a certain
column met his eye, when he smoothed
it out, and carrying it over to a seat,
proceeded to read it ai his leisure.
And, indeed, as a man read that
column, it seemed strange to him that
there should still remain any one In this
world of ours who should be in straits
for want of money. Here were whole
lines of gentlemen who were burdened
with a surplus in their incomes, ami
who were loudly calling to the poor and
needy to come and take It off their
hands. Here was the guileless person
who was not a professional moneylend-
er, but who would be glad to corre-
spond, etc. Here, too, was the accommo-
dating individual who advanced sums
from ten to ten thousand pounds with-
out expense, security or delay. "The
money actually paid over within a few
hours," ran this fascinating advertise-
ment, conjuring up a vision of swift
messengers rusning with bags of gold
to the aid of the poor struggler. A
third gentleman did all business by per-
sonal application, advanced money on
anything or nothing; the lightest and
airiest promise was enough to content
him according to his circular, and finally
he never asked for more than five per
cent. This struck the Admiral as far
the most promising, and his wrinkles
relaxed, and his frown softened away
as he gazed at it. He folded up the
paper, rose from the seat, and
found himself face to face with Charles
Westmacott.
"Hullo, Admiral!"
"Hullo, Westmacott!" Charles had
always been a favorite of the seaman's.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I have been doing a little busi-
ness for my aunt. Put I have never
seen you in London before."
"I hate the place. It smothers me.
There's not a breath of clean air on this
side of Greenwich. Put maybe you
know your way about pretty well in the
city?"
"Well, I know something about it.
You see I've never lived very far from it,
and I do a g. <1 d< al < f my aunt's busi-
ness.
"Maybe you know Pread Street?"
"It Is out of Chcapslde."
"Well then, how do you steer for It
from here? You tnake mo out a course
and I'll keep to It."
"Why, Admiral, I have nothing to do.
I'll take you there with pleasure."
"Will you, though? Well, I'd take it
very kindly If you would. I have busi-
ness there. Smith & Hanbury, financial
il< ots. Bn t i st . t."
The pair made their way to the river-
side, and so down the Thames to lit.
Paul's landing—a mode of travel which
was much more to the Admiral's taste
than 'bus or cab. On the way ho told
his companion his mission and the
c.\uses which led to it. Charles West-
macott knew little enough of city life
and the ways of business, but at b ^
he had more experience in both than
the Admiral, and he made up his mind
not to leave him until the mattri wiim
settled.
"These are the people," paid the Ad-
miral, twisting round his paper, an 1
polntlrg to I hlch had
"•'WQ0AM-
A. CON AN DOYLb
seemed to him the most promising. "It
sounds honest and above board, does it
not? The personal interview looks as
If there were no trickery, and then no
one could object to live per cent."
"No, It seems fair enough."
"It is not pleasant to have to go hat
In hand borrowing money, but there
are times, as you may find before you
are my age, Westmacott, when a man
must stow away his pride. Hut here's
their number, and their plate is on the
corner of the door."
A narrow entrance was flanked on
either side by a row of brasses, ranging
upwards from the shlpbrokers and the
solicitors who occupied the ground
floors, through a long succession of
West Indian agents, architects, survey-
ors, and brokers, to the firm of which
they were In quest. A winding stone
stair, well carpeted and railed at first
but growing shabbier with every land-
ing, brought them past Innumerable
doors until, at last, just under the
ground-glass roofing, the names of
Smith & Hanbury were to be seen
painted In large white letters across a
panel, with a laconic Invitation to push
beneath it. Following out the sugges-
tion, the Admiral and his companion
found themselves In a dingy apartment,
111 lit from a couple of glazed windows.
An !nk-stained table, littered with pens,
papers, and almanacs, an American
cloth sofa, three chairs of varying pat-
terns, and a much-worn carpet, con-
stituted all the furniture, save only a
very large and obtrusive porcelain spit-
toon, and a gaudily framed and very
somber picture which hung above the
fireplace. Sitting in front of this pic-
ture, and staring gloomily at it, as being
the only thing he could stare at, was a
small sallow-faced boy with a large
head, who In the intervals of his art
studies munched sedately at an apple.
"Is Mr. Smith or Mr. Hanbury in?"
asked the Admiral.
"There ain't no such people," said
the small boy.
"Put you have the names on the
door."
"Ah, that Is the name of the firm, you
see. It's only a name. It's Mr. Reuben
Metaxa that you wants."
"Well, then, Is he in?"
"No, he's not."
"When will he be back?"
"Can't tell, I'm sure. He's gone to
lunch. Sometimes he takes one hour,
and sometimes two. It'll be two today,
I 'spect, for he said he was hungry
afore he went."
"Then I suppose we had better call
again," said the Admiral.
"Not a bit," cried Charles. "I know
how to manage these little imps. See
here, you young varmint, here's a shil-
ling for you. Run off and fetch your
master. If you don't bring him here in
five minutes I'll clump you on the side
of the head when you get back. Shoo!
Scat!" He charged at the youth, who
bolted from the room and clattered
madly down-stairs.
"He'll fetch him," said Charles. "Let
us make ourselves at home. This sofa
does not feel over and above safe. It
was not meant for fifteen-stone men.
Put this doesn't look quite the sort of
place where one would expect to pick up
money."
"Just what I was thinking," said the
Admiral, looking ruefully about him.
"Ah, well! I have heard that the
best furnished offices generally belong
to the poorest firms. Let's hope It is
the opposite here. They can't spend
much on the management anyhow.
That pumpkin-headed boy was the staff,
I suppose. Ha, by Jove, that's his
voice, and he's got our man, I think!"
As he spoke the youth appeared in
the doorway with a small, brown, dried-
up little chip of a man at his heels. He
was clean shaven and blue-chlnned,
with bristling black hair, and keen
brown eyes which shone out very
brightly from between pouched under-
lids and drooping upper ones. He ad-
vanced, glancing keenly from one to
the other of his visitors, and slowly
rubbing together his thin, blue-veined
hands. The small boy closed the door
behind him, and directly vanished.
"I am Mr. Reuben Metaxa," said the
moneylender. "Was It aboirt an ad-
vance you wished to see me?"
"Yes."
"For you, I presume?" turning to
Charles Westmacott.
"No, for this gentleman."
The moneylender looked surprised.
"How much did you desire?"
"I thought of five thousand pounds,"
said the Admiral.
"And on what security?"
"I am a retired admiral of the Brit-
ish navy. You will find my name in the
Na\ y List. Tie i<- Is my Mfd, I k|VI
here my pension papers. I get £S50 a
year. 1 thought that perhaps If you
were to hold these papers It would be
security enough that I should pay you.
You could draw my pension, and repay
yourselves at the rate, say, of £300 a
year, taking your five per cent interest
as well."
"What Interest?"
"Five per cent per annum."
Mr.Metaxa laughed. "Per annum!"
he said. "Five per cent a month."
"A month! That would be sixty per
cent a year."
"Precisely."
"Put that Is monstrous."
"I don't ask gentlemen to come to me.
They come of their own free will. Those
are my terms, and they can take It or
leave it."
"Then I shall leave tt." The Ad-
miral rose angrily from his chair.
"Put one moment, sir. Just sit down
and we shall chat the matter over.
Yours 1* a rafher unusual case and we
may find some other way of doing what
you wish. Of course the security wnlch
you offer is no security at all, and no
sane man would advance five thousand
a few years even in a well-preserved
man."
"Do you msan to Insinuate that I am
not a well-preserved man7"
"Well, Admiral, It Is a trying life at
sea. Sailors In their younger days are
gay dogs, and take It out of themselves.
Then when they grow older they are
still hard at It, and have no chance of
rest or peace. I do not think a sailor's
life a good one."
"I'll tell you what, sir," said the Ad-
miral hotly. "If you have two pairs of
gloves I'll undertake to knock you out
under three rounds. Or I'll race you
from here to St. Paul's, and my friend
here will see fair. I'll let you see
whether I'm an old man or not."
"This Is beside the question," said the
money-lender with a deprecatory shrug.
"The point Is that If you died to-mor-
row where would be the security then?"
"I could Insure my life, and make the
policy over to you."
"Your premiums for such a sum, If
any office would have you, which I very
much doubt, would come to close on Ave
hundred a year. That would hardly
suit your book.
"Well, sir, what do you Intend to pro-
pose?" asked the Admiral.
"I might, to accommodate you, work
it in another way. I should send
for a medical man, and have an opinion
upon your life. Then I might see wha'
could be done."
"That is quite fair. I have no objec-
tion to that."
"There is a very clever doctor In the
street here. Proudie is his name. John,
go and fetch Doctor Proudie." The
youth was dispatched upon his errand,
while Mr. Metaxa sat at his desk, trim-
ming his nails, and Bhootlng out little
comments upon the weather. Presently
feet were heard upon the stairs, the
moneylender hurried out, there was a
sound of whispering, and he returned
with a large, fat, greasy-looking man,
clad in a much worn frock-coat, and a
very dilapidated top hat.
"Doctor Proudie, gentlemen," said Mr.
Metaxa.
The doctor bowed, smiled, whipped off
his hat, and produced his stethoscope
from its Interior with the air of a con-
jurer upon the stage. "Which of these
gentlemen am I to examine?" he asked,
blinking from one to the other of them.
"Ah, It is you! Only your waistcoat!
You need not undo your collar. Thank
you! A full breath! Thank you! Ninety-
nine! Thank you! Now hold your
breath for a moment. Oh, dear, dear,
what Is this I hear?"
"What Is it then?" asked the Admiral
coolly.
"Tut! tut! This Is a great pity. Have
you had rheumatic fever?"
"Never."
"You have had some serious Illness?"
"Never."
"Ah, you are an admiral. You have
been abroad, tropics, malaria, ague—I
know."
"I have never had a day's illness."
"Not to your knowledge; but you have
inhaled unhealthy air, and it has left
its effect. You have an organic mur-
mur—slight but distinct."
"Is It dangerous?"
"It might at any time become so. You
should not take violent exercise."
"Oh, Indeed. It would hurt me to run
a half mile?"
"It would be very dangerous."
"And a mile?"
"Would be almost certainly fatal."
"Then there Is nothing else the mat-
ter?"
"No. Put If the heart Is weak, then
everything Is weak, and the life Is not a
sound one."
"You see, Admiral," remarked Mi.
Metaxa, as the doctor secreted his steth-
oscope once more In his hat, "my re-
marks were not entirely uncalled for.
I am sorry that the doctor's opinion is
not more favorable, but this Is a matter
of business, and certain obvious pre-
cautions must be taken."
"Of course. Then the matter is at an
end."
"Well, we might even now do busi-
ness. I am most anxious to be of use to
you. How long do you think, doctor,
that this gentleman will In all proba-
bility live?"
"Well, well, it's rather a delicate ques-
tion to answer," said Mr. Proudie, with
a show of embarrassment.
"Not a bit, sir. Out with it! I have
faced death too often to flinch from It
now, though I saw it as near me as you

A large contractor is authority for tho
statement that in proportion to tho
number of streams, thero are more
bridges in arid regions than In any
other section of tho country. Of course,
he only referred to such bridges as span
what were formerly or a:e now the well
defined channels of running water. In
parts of the southwest creeks and rivers
often appenr and disappear so quickly
that it Is not known \shence they come
nor whither they go. Sometimes a
stream vanishes and leaves no signs;
sometimes its disnppearnnce Is marked
by an increase of water in tho neigh-
boring river; sometimes it cuts for
itself a nico channel, but whatever be-
comes of it the old bod is usually left
perfectly dry. Theso changes generally
take place after a flood and necessitate
the construction of new bridges. One
little rivulet in southern California lias
required the building of flvo distinct
bridges. About two years ago the
Southern Pacific railroad lost a stream
called the Whitewater river, which had >
never been known to fall before. Dur-
ing the wet season it became an angry,
turbulent and destructive flood, but
when the rain ceased, it gradually din*1
apeared and left no traces of its future
course.
A young explorer was sure that he
could find tho mouth of any stream,!
and so selecting one whose outlet was
not known, he began his tour of inves-
tigation. After riding many hours
through the heat and sand, his atten-}
tion was for a short time attracted by |
other objects, when suddenly ho re-
membered his mission, and looked for j
his river, but not a drop of water was
In sight. "Well," he exclaimed, "I j
found that the darned thing went Into;
the ground anyhow."
An old timer says that many of the
smaller streams of the desert have no
headwaters or outlets, but simply arij
