his employer.

"Say!" he growled. "I say nothink. I know you, David."

Philip and Iris attended Carmela's wedding during their honeymoon. The
cathedral at Rio de Janeiro was packed, and Iris was quite
inconspicuous among the many richly-attired ladies who graced the
ceremony by their presence. Nevertheless, Colonel Salvador San
Benavides favored her with a peculiar smile as he led his bride down
the central aisle.

She laughed, blushed, and looked at her husband.

"Yes, I saw him," he whispered. "But I never feared him. It was you
that made me sit up. By the way, old girl, let us cut out the
reception. I want to call at the bank, and at a shop in the Rua
Grande. You will be interested."

Well, being a good and loving wife, she was interested deeply. Ten
thousand pounds was Dom Corria's financial estimate of the services
rendered by Philip, and Iris was absolutely dumfounded by the total in
milreis. But her voice came back when Philip took her to a jeweler's,
and the man produced a gold cross on which blazed four glorious
diamonds. Dom Corria had given her a necklace many times more
valuable; but this----

"For remembrance!" said Philip.

"Oh, my dear, my dear!" she murmured, and her eyes grew moist.
