In the captain’s cabin of the _Kearsarge_ a white-haired, emaciated
man, with tears streaming down his pallid cheeks, was vociferously
assuring the commander of the warship of his undying gratitude.
“My dear sir, you don’t owe any thanks to me,” the latter protested
gruffly. “The man to whom you owe your freedom is Mr. Hawley. Anxious
though I was to serve you, I could have done nothing if it hadn’t been
for him.”
President Felix raised his faded eyes to the beamed ceiling of the
cabin. “And to think that I misjudged the motives of that heroic young
man!” he said remorsefully. “It seemed to me preposterous that he could
save me with his camera. I did him the injustice of supposing that he
was merely a professional photographer trying to get a sensational
picture and not caring what happened to me afterward as a result of his
exploit.”
“And yet you assisted him by standing at the bars of your dungeon and
posing for his camera?” Captain Cortrell exclaimed, in a surprised tone.
A glow came to the liberated martyr’s eyes. “That was because I saw the
possibility of being vindicated in the eyes of the world,” he replied.
“That was all that I dared hope for, señor--vindication, not freedom.
I believed that Mr. Hawley’s daring exploit would cause my enemies to
resort to desperate measures, but I was in hopes that afterward--after
my death--the picture might be published in the United States and my
reputation cleared. Even if Mr. Hawley had done me only that service,
it would have been enough,” he added fervently.
“Well, thank goodness, he was able to accomplish more than that,” said
the naval officer heartily.
“How shall I ever be able to repay him?” said Felix brokenly.
While this conversation was taking place in the captain’s cabin, the
Camera Chap was standing under the shadow of one of the warship’s great
guns, looking into the blue eyes of Virginia Throgmorton, and earnestly
assuring her that to her alone was due the successful outcome of his
adventure.
“I was sure, when I handed you that pouch, that you would grasp the
idea,” he said, a note of profound admiration in his voice. “Any other
girl might have failed to understand.”
Virginia laughed and blushed at the same time. “I am so glad that I did
understand,” she said earnestly. “It wasn’t cleverness, of course--it
was just instinct. But suppose I had taken you literally and sent on
that keepsake to your friend, Mr. Paxton, without examining it!” She
shuddered at the thought.
Hawley smiled grimly. “In that event, I guess the _Sentinel_ would have
had a big picture scoop. Tom Paxton would have realized what that film
meant, of course, as soon as he saw it, and would have played up the
snapshot for all it was worth.” Suddenly he smiled as a thought came to
him. “What has become of our friend Gale?”
Virginia informed him that the _News_ man had gone back to New York.
“I supposed as much,” Hawley chuckled. “I guess he was in a hurry to go
back to his office and hand them his big picture scoop. In spite of the
seriousness of the situation, I could scarcely keep from laughing, that
night, when I saw him fool Portiforo by pocketing my camera and handing
him another, not suspecting that while he was working that cunning
little trick he was being hoaxed himself.” He chuckled again. “I would
give a whole lot to see his face when he arrives at the _News_ office
and develops that perfectly blank film.”
Virginia frowned. “Serves him right,” she said. “I don’t like to be
vindictive, but I hope his editor discharges him.” She sighed. “I
can’t understand why my father should have taken such a fancy to that
contemptible fellow. But then,” she added, with a rueful smile, “poor
dad has shown himself to be a very poor judge of men.”
Hawley nodded.
“I am sorry for your father, Virginia. I presume it will be a great
blow to him--the way things have turned out.”
“I am afraid it will,” the girl said wistfully. “He had such great
faith in that tyrant Portiforo. And I suppose he will be asked to
resign his post. It isn’t to be expected that Washington will continue
him here under the circumstances. Personally I shall not be sorry to
return to the United States, but I fear that dad will feel keenly the
disgrace of being recalled.”
The Camera Chap made no comment on this, but there was a thought in
his mind which did not find expression until a few days later when he
arrived at Washington and presented himself at the White House.
The President of the United States received his photographic envoy with
marked cordiality, and gazed appreciatively at the snapshot which the
latter handed him with the simple announcement: “Here is the picture,
Mr. President, which you instructed me to take.”
The chief executive smiled quizzically. “I must compliment you on the
manner in which you have carried out my instructions, sir,” he said
formally. “Thank you for the picture. I fear that you must have had
considerable trouble in getting it.” Then suddenly the quizzical smile
left his face, and his hand went out and grasped that of Hawley in a
strenuous grip. “Well done, sir,” he exclaimed, in a tone that was by
no means formal. “I shan’t forget your splendid, plucky work, my boy.”
It was a little late when the subject of reward was brought up, and
the president was offering the Camera Chap a lucrative position in the
United States secret service, that the latter spoke the thought which
was in his mind when he had that conversation with Virginia on board
the _Kearsarge_.
“I don’t want anything for myself, sir,” Hawley said. “But--if you
won’t think me too presumptuous--I would like to ask a favor on
behalf of somebody else. I understand that there is talk of Minister
Throgmorton being recalled as a result of the latest developments in
Baracoa. If you could see your way to permit him to retain his post it
would be giving me a greater reward than I deserve.”
The president shook his head. “I regret to say that is out of the
question,” he replied. “I am convinced that Mr. Throgmorton acted with
perfect sincerity in upholding Portiforo and refusing to believe the
rumor about the conspiracy against Felix, but a man capable of such bad
judgment is scarcely fit to represent this government abroad. Besides,
Mr. Throgmorton has no desire to continue in his post. He has sent me
his resignation to take effect immediately. He feels naturally that
it would be embarrassing to him to remain in Baracoa under the Felix
administration. He and his daughter have sailed for the United States.”
And the president wondered why this announcement brought such a joyous
expression to the Camera Chap’s face.
THE END.

L. Standish, is a book that from beginning to end is filled with

The Dealer
who handles the STREET & SMITH NOVELS is a man worth patronizing. The
fact that he does handle our books proves that he has considered the
merits of paper-covered lines, and has decided that the STREET & SMITH
NOVELS are superior to all others.
He has looked into the question of the morality of the paper-covered
book, for instance, and feels that he is perfectly safe in handing one
of our novels to any one, because he has our assurance that nothing
except clean, wholesome literature finds its way into our lines.
Therefore, the STREET & SMITH NOVEL dealer is a careful and wise
tradesman, and it is fair to assume selects the other articles he
has for sale with the same degree of intelligence as he does his
paper-covered books.
Deal with the STREET & SMITH NOVEL dealer.
