"Why, Azuma, we are both cominij in a few months, we are Roing to ' upend Christmas there. What shall I bring you from London for Christ- 1 mas, Azuma 7" He spoke brightly, trying to make . what he told her of no importance, ; ignorant of the storm which raged j within her, the hate, the grief, the i impotent wrath and hate, and the realization of prediction, fulfilling it- ' self, filling her with dreary, dumb de- ' Epair. She had seen it in the sand, and the pebbles that day, in the bright stars that night, which for all the lamplight and electric flashes across the sky from the roofs of shops and buildings, yet twinkled mysteriously, secretly [ communicative, above, that' she and the Baas were going to part, that they ' would never see each other again, \ and that with her departure his for- I tunes would change. | She had seen it, and yet she attri- i buted her departure to the jealousy ! of the beautiful white woman who treated her, Azuma, the daughter j too, of a (creat chief, &» if .she were dirt, or at least a servant, a common woman, and they would never have been rich, never, if she, Azuma, had not known the secret of the mine. And that morning when Lady Ju- dith had come to fasten on the brace- let it was because she was afraid, afraid that she would tell the Baas dreadful things which the pebbles and the sand had told her, and which she had read in the stars, things about the past of the beautiful white woman, I which if he knew would make him i hate her. And in her silence he read some- thing ominous. Then gradually some- 1 thing of the old feeling for her had returned, the pity which had been al- most love in the old days when she was the only woman near him, and he I had not known Lady Judith nor thought of marriage. And he took her silence for stony grief. "Don't you want to help me, Azu- ma, don't you want to go?" j "If I go, trouble," she said stretch- ^ ing out her hand into the night. i It was as if she were uttering a ' curse. I For one instant her manner, her ut- ' terance alarmed him, he had been so' long accustomed to take her serious- ' ly, and she had proven herself so often ' right, that her words sent a cold, shiver down his back. This matter i was going to be more difficult to deal with than he had anticipated. He felt inclined to be stern, while' something else made him feel that the supreme sorrow of Azuma's life had come to her, that he must deal gently with this girl who, because her skin was black, yet haa a heart /ll'e other , women, perhaps a "tenderer one than many. But he laughed at her suggestion,! it seemed the only thing to do, while he told himself that she, of course,! did not know how he had protected ; his fortune, placing funds in this bank ! , and that, in this .country, and ti\^\ other, m schemes all over the world, i and he held the concession of every ! . availaljle min^ in South Africa. He mignt not make all he expected to,' but ne was already the richest man in | . Europe, and if he lost some money he ' could never lose all, unless the world! its«lf came to an end. To-night he told himself with new gladness, that even if all failed, the love of Judith, her new gentleness and meekness were the most valuable things he possess- ed, that with it he could even meet re- verses, that without it life would not be worth living. "You mustn't let trouble come, Azuma," he said lightly, "you must prevent it." But she shook her head. "What can Axuma dot" she asked, and he noted the saaneis In her voice. "Well, there's no hvsrrj, of oourae, if you don't want to do it, I'll have to find somebody else." There was a little note or irritation in his speech. "If the Baas tells me to go, I go," she said, presently. "When I go?" "Oh, well, we can talk it over by and by, to-morrow we'll see." And because the whole scene was distasteful, because he wanted to be kind, he spoke of this and that, of his business, of a hundred things. When he left, she stood there gaz- ing after him for a few seconds, while a hundred thoughts coursed through her brain. It was not the Baas who wanted her to go, it was the white woman, Lady Judy, and she hated her. When Adolphe told Judith what he had done, she was silent for a few mo- ments, then she said, with st-inething of dread in her manner. '^'Somehow, Adolphe, I feel as if perhaps we oughtn't to send her away, not if she says all that. You know that somehow I feel as if she were really wrapped up in our fate, indi- visible from it, and she has brought me luck, too, you know." CHAPTER XXII. The next time Azuma and Judith met, Judith was in Adolphe's arms, seated by his side, on the wide divan in the little room where they had tea the day he proposed. She was feeW ing tired lately, and had not gone out so much. London had grown very hot, and in a few days they would be leaving London, going abroad for a few weeks and then returning to take up their abode in the exquisite coun- try home which Adolphe had been busy adding to, and embellishing whenever he could run away from town. To-night she had persuaded him to go to a party without her at which he wanted to meet someone on business, but for which he did not like to de- sert her. Now and then lately she had said: "I feel so lost in this big house when you are away, although there are so many servants, I always feel that it is so huge, thafr something dreadful might happen at one end of it while no one would hear at the other." Adolphe had laughed at the idea, a detective was always on watch guard- ing the beautiful things, and the in- valuable jewels he had heaped upon his bride, while at night a watchman walked about the house from roof to cellar, while every modern device against burglary and fire had found its way to the palace in Park Lane, putting aside the fact that outside burly policemen patrolled the streets, and that a small side door opened straight on to Park Lane itself. "Why, little woman, you are as safe as if you *ere in an iron safe your- self," he had told her, ascribing her morbid timidity to her state of health. And this evening she felt particularly loth to let him go, while she knew the necessity for his doing so. To-night she looked particularly lovely, aressed in a tea gown of some yellow shimmering stuff with a girdle of amber round her waist, ana he had never known her so caressing, "Hulloa, Azuma." He had stooped to kiss Judith's lips, as she lay with her head so close to him, and as he raised his head Azuma stood in front of him holding out a letter. He looked at the direction while she held it, because orte arm was around Judith, and the hand of the other held a cigar. Judith had not moved when Azuma entered, treating her with a sort of lazy indifference, as the white races generally treat the dark ones. "From Elliott, perhaps I needn't go to-night, read it to me, Azuma, will you, there's a good girl." "Oh, let me see what he says." Ju- dith had meant nothing by her words, nor by the gesture with which she caught hold of Azuma's hand, and took the letter gently from her. "Azuma, how pretty you look in this room. I always think of you when I am here, do you remember the day when you gave us tea?" She was opening the letter as she spoke, talking with easy familiarity to Azuma, whom she was trying to win over in these days. Yes. it was true that Azuma seem- ed to Delong to this room, and to-night lit up, it was twice as pretty, the elec trie light bringing out a little more vividly the golden tracery in the dark slailhed Krey and black and brown of the violet wood, and where she was standing the rich dull red brocade cur tains made an exquisite background to Azuma's shapely dark head. For an instant, Judith without any repugnance to the feeling of the dark cool skin held Azuma's fingers with her soft white ones while she scanned the letter, but Adolphe looking up at Azuma caught a look he had never seen there, not, at all events, so plainly visible. "Let her read the letter," he half whispered, and Judith did as he told her, looking up suddenly a little sur prised at his tone. "I can't read a word, the light some how doesn't fall properly. Yes, Azuma, do read it to us and the two lay back on the big satin cushions with their arms around each other, while Azuma read. "Isn't she wonderful the way she can read English?" Judith said half aloud. "What time does he say?" He glanced at the clock. "By George, it's late, he says that he must see me to-night, you say? Azuma." "Eleven," Azuma repeated, "at eleven he must see the Baas." "Then the Baas must go. I shan't be long, my darling. He stooped and kissed Judith again, and she sat up on the divan and rearranged her dis- ordered hair, while he sprang up the stairs to change his coat. In a few seconds he returne<l, and found Judith chatting with Azuma. "She's telling me all about the mine I that night when you both went out j in the night together, very improper j I call it," she said with a mischievous i laugh. i "Oh, we've done dreadful things, I haven't we, Azuma?" He laughed, and Judith got up and followed him across the big hall to the front door and let him out her- j self. I "What an exquisite night, if I had I thought about it, I would have slip- I ped on something and driven with i you." "Will you? I'll wait." I "No, it would make you late, you i have only just time, and I'm tired." She yawned a little. "I'll go straight I to bed." I "Well, I shan't be long. She watch I ed him get into the carriage and drive off, then she stood still for two or three moments drinking in the night. j Then she pushed too the door and the sound rang out through the house like a final doom pronounced. Then she stepped leisurely across the well-lighted hall. I "Azuma!"' At the foot of the stairs Azuma I was standing watching her with a i strange expression, an expression I which made Lady Judith feel uncom- ' fortable. 1 "Take care, Azuma, I am coming I upstairs." I These words, a(l(lrcs.sed to the girl I because she did not move out of her way, with a slight, very slight return of the autocratic tones of former I days, with just a shade of impatient annoyance at the fact that her pro- gress was impeded, and she was I weary, anxious to get to her room to lie down, and to be undressed. "Ah!" I A terrible cry rang out across space ' and seemed to lose itself behind the [ porphyry pillars, and to vibrate across I the pavement of the hall. ! When, two hours later, Adolphe re turned full of all sorts of little bits of [ gossip and news for Judith, and open- i ed the front door with his latchkey, he found the body of Judith lying dead at the foot of the stairs, and a little streak of crimson reaching from her side to the door. render, complete, entire, unreserved of a proud and beautiful woman. If he lived, how would it be with him, what would he live for? To make money, for whom? To love again, never, never; then why live? He did not want to set eyes again on Azuma, he did not want to hear why she had done this thing, for he knew. Love, jealousy, hate, these had been the instincts which had prompted her, and Judith had said truly when she had pronunced the wrords : "I feel that our life is irrevocably mixed up with her." And as if in death he defied Golling, defied the English government, all those who had striven to check and thwart his gigantic plans, after pro- viding for his family in Frankfort, he divided his fortune into two halves. One to build a Cape to Cairo railway, the other for the civilization of South Africa. Madame Dufour had said rightly when she called Judith "Cette pauvre enfant." THE END. * ALEXANDER OF SERBIA.

CHAPTER XXIIL London was convulsed when it heard the first thing the next morning of the murder of Lady Judith, but it reached the fever pitch of excitement the same evening, when a late edition, and little newspaper boys shouting in the street, announced the further tra- gedy that Adolphe Lieb, the South ; African millionaire, had committecl I suicide. The following morning there WHS a sudden panic on the Stock Ex- change, ami all African bonds and mining shares went down. There was evidently going to be some dreadful revelation. If Adolphe himself could have come to life again, it would have been difficult for him to explain ex- actly what his motives had been for taking his life. Yet the lawyers said that he had seemed to do it with method. Papers still wet upon the writing- table in the room, where only two hours ago he had held her in his arms, gave evidence to the world of changes in his will by a revoking codicil, while a few brief lines stated that he had taken his own life, that no one was to be blamed. It would have been impossible for anyone to guess at what his motive had been, for only he knew two things, one that all his mil- lions, all his wealth, all his schemes and dreams of ambition and power had turned to dead sea fruit, become valueless without Judith to share them with him. Judith, whose love he had always been sure of, {ind who loved much because so much had been for- given her. Juxlith who had climbed the third wave, and who must not be left alone on the other side.

Bulgaria's Demands. Bulgaria makes no secret of her willingness to be bought for such assistance. But she has only one price. The Crown Prince of Serbia. Regent in his country, can alone pay it in full. This he persistently re- fuses to do. Bulgaria demands, above all else, that part of Macedonia which is in- habited by Bulgarians and which is in the possession of Serbia. To re- claim Macedonia from Turkey, and in pursuance of the ideal of national- ity.
