The Orange
Beetle
Or the Story of the Search For a
Supposedly Rare Crchid of
South America
By CLARISSA MACKIE
Copyright by American Pres* Asso
ciation, 1911.
Jack Hedges was not a zoologist,
yet be had traveled thousands of miles
In search of tbe orange beetle. The
finding of It meant a fortune for him
as well as the winning of tbe girl be
loved.
Not tha-t Dorothy's answer
would be influenced by tbe turn of
fortune's wheel, only It happened that
Dorothy was the daughter of a rich
man. aud Jack wus u poor young laud
scape gardener who had not yet re
ceived his first big commission.
It was Chalmers who had sent him
on this strange quest for tbe orange
beetle.
Jack, old man," Chalmers
hhd said. "I've got a commission for
you that will knock the spots out of
tbe landscape business. My uncle,
Cassius Chalmers, tbe banker.
know, Is butty about orchids—has the .
finest collection In the country, so he
says, now, there s another old chap,
a crony of bis. who also has tbe finest
collection. Understand? As I under
stand it. the collections are about neck
and neck as to value. They both lack
one very rare specimen, which they
have been unable to obtain, although
■they both have trained orchid hunters
down along the Amazon now.
I uncle has declared be will give $10,000
i and pay all expenses to tbe man who
brings blm back tbe orchid he's after.
Now. there's n chance for you. You've
heard of amateurs' luck, haven't you?"
"You're joking." said Jack calmly.
"Never. Come with me and I'll in
troduce you to Uncle Cassius, the bat
tiest old gentleman in New York
where orchids are concerned," said
Chalmers, rising, and because he had
nothing In particular to do that after
noon Jack went with him and soon
was deeply interested In the long talk
with Mr. Chalmers, the banker, which
followed.

Never a day passed
kut that he came upon strange speci
mens of parasitic plants swaying
aloft on some towering tree trunk far
above his reach, and his strong glasses
enabled him to study them at close
range, and. so far as bis bbok taught
knowledge went, there was nothing
new that he might take to Cassius
Chalmers.
At last one day they made a noon
day landing in a quiet lagoon where
long creepers reached down to brush
their faces as the canoe grounded
against the muddy shore.
While the guides prepared a simple
meal of coffee and cassava cakes Jack
took his glasses and splashed through
the spongy morass Into an open space
where tall trees towered above the
forest as If seeking a purer air than
that afforded below.
Suddenly be leaped backward, and
he nearly fell. Quickly recovering
himself, he leaned over and scanned
the uncanny form of the orange bee
tle. At last he was within reach of
the fortune for which he had risked
so much.
About three inches long, with close
ly folded glossy wings, ail of a deep
orange tint, tbe insect Jerked a small
jetty black head and with a slow,
awkward gait cruwled stickily over
the damp ground, avoiding the wet
spots and choosing a dry leaf or bit
of fallen twig for Its path.
Jack followed patiently until bis way
was stopped by the massive trunk of
a huge sycamore up which the beetle
was making its laborious way. Jack
threw back bis head and looked up
ward among tbe twisted limbs at the
top of the tree and then brought his
gaze slowly downward until his eyes
rested on the glowing mass of some
parasitic blossom. This was tbe or
ange orchid.
Two days afterward he was speeding
down the river again, the orange or
chids confined In a wicker Cage stuff
ed with rotting vegetation; tbe orange
beetle, quietly chloroformed, sleeping
its last sleep in an air tight tin box.
Six weeks later be was leaving South
Amerioa behind, and there was no re

"Fool's errand!" stuttered Jack.
"Surely I was successful In my quest.

you mean, sir?"
"Pardon my abruptness, Mr. Hedges,
I was surprised." said the other cour
teously. "The orchid you have de

for the beetle was in one of the flower
cups when I picked it from the tree.
By Jove! If I've made a mess of this
expedition after all"— He paused trag
ically.
Jackson expressed a desire to
the orchid, and the wicker cage
brought and the exotic displayed, to
the expert's suppressed amusement.
"Deuced queer the old boy's sending
you off after that," he muttered after
reading the copious notes with which
Cassius Chalmers had filled Jack's
notebook. "Any reason for his want
ing to get you out of the way?"
Jack shook his head hopelessly.
"Search me!" he exploded.

not a word from"— He bit off Dor
othy's name and walked away to
ceal his anger aud mortification.
At last when they were In the port
of New York Jack felt his confidence
returning. While he was now
vinced that Cassius Chalmers had
sent him on a wild goose chase (as
well as a beetle hunt), he was deter
mined to press that eccentric million
aire for some explanation of the whole
matter. Therefore his first errand
landing was to go straight to the of
fice of Cassius Chalmers.
There bitter disappointment awaited
him. Cassius Chalmers had been dead
for two months, aud his estate had
not only been settled, but his heir, the
nephew whom Jack knew, had sailed
for a voyage around the world. The
lawyers knew nothing whatever about
the matter save that the collection of
orchids had been sold at auction and,
it was believed, had been scattered
among various collectors.
When he presented himself before
Dorothy Payton Jack threw out his
hands with a hopeless gesture. "Fail
ed!" he said bitterly. And then into
her sympathetic ear he poured the
story of the past year.
