"If I was goneter give a bright young man advice 'bout this very trip," he answered slowly, "it would be not to ask any questions." "I don't consider it very inquisitive to want to know what I'm shipping on," he returned with some heat. "Ye said ye wanted t' git somewhere near Carlina, didn't ye?" "Yes." "An' ye said ye didn't care how you gut there so long's ye gut there."
Wilson picked up an envelope bearing a foreign postmark. It was addressed to Dr. Carl Sorez, and bore the number of the street where this house was located. The stamp was of the small South American Republic of Carlina and the postmark "Bogova." Wilson thrust the empty envelope in his pocket. Coming out of here, he next began a systematic examination of every room on that floor.
But here comes Carlina to call us to breakfast," said she, as she laid down her crayon, and drummed the saltarello on her picture while she paused a moment to look at it. As Mrs. Delano wished to write letters, and Flora expected a teacher in drawing, it was decided that they should remain at home until the hour arrived for visiting the Vatican. "We have been about sight-seeing so much," said Mrs.
He made his way back to the safe and examined some of the torn letters; they were all in Spanish. A large part of them bore the same postmark, "Bogova, Republic of Carlina." The sight of the safe again recalled to him the fact that he still had in his possession the parchment which had dropped from the interior of the idol.
Two hours passed before they were able to reach the General, and then they had but a word with him. The girl had done his bidding and was now crowned Queen of Carlina. Every loyal citizen of Bogova was out, anxious to cheer himself hoarse before his neighbor. From the outlying districts the natives were pouring into the city as fast as they heard of the termination of hostilities.
"What did Stubbs tell you of this expedition?" "Nothing except that we are running to Carlina." "Yes," sighed Danbury, dreamily, "to Carlina. Well, things certainly have been coming fast for you these last few days. And I'll tell you right now that when we reach Carlina if you need me or any of this crew to help you get the girl, you can count on us.
If she went now with General Otaballo, it would leave no possible outlet for her to avoid assuming the title of Queen; she must mount the throne at once. To do this meant to give up the greatest thing in her life. There was no possible escape from it. Only by renouncing Danbury utterly, by keeping him from Carlina, could she save his life.
"Yes," admitted Wilson. "Well ye're on yer way to Carlina now. An' if we ain't blown t' hell, as likely 'nuff we will be, an' if we don't all git our bloomin' throats cut like I dreamed 'bout, er if the ship ain't scuttled as we'll have a precious crew who 'u'd do it in a second, we'll git there."
"Not in Carlina; you'd have been killed before night." "Rot! Don't you think I'm old enough to take care of myself?" "No," she answered. "And that's why I've come with you." "I'd have cleared up that trouble in a week," he exploded. "And as for those beggars of mine do you know I risked my life to get their pay to them through an agent? And then they turned against us." "Still for pay," she said.
I don't like him after dark." "They shines in the dark like a cat's them eyes does." "Drop it, Stubbs! Drop it! I want to forget him for a while. That isn't telling me how you chanced " "That's just it," interrupted Wilson. "It was chance. I was looking for an opportunity to get to Carlina, and by inspiration was led to ask Stubbs. He made the proposition that I come with him, and I came.
