Are you ready to come in. princess?” ‘ b.00000009 ‘ “We ?” demanded Depptngham. . “Certainly. If it comes to an assault of any kind upon the chateau I trust that I may be considered as one of you.

Pray don’t be alarmed, princess. It is most improbable that anything evil will happen. And, in any event, we can hold out against them until relief comes.” “I say, Chase, do you mind relieving my fears a bit? With all due respect to your estimable clients. it occurs to me that they are likely to break over the traces at any moment and raise the very old Harry at somebody else’s expense. I’d like to know itmy head is really sate.” They started toward the chateau. keeping well in the shade of the boxed trees. the princess between the two It would be impossible for the brin- cess to forget the greatest of all tools,” said Chase. “He was no worse than other mor- tals,” said she. “In the dark ages.” said he so rue- fully that her smile grew. He had come, in truth, to ascertain why her husband had not come with her. “But not the forgotten variety, fancy.” said Deppingham shrewdly. “We met ages ago,” she said. with an ingenuous smile. which would have disarmed Chase. if he had been pre- pared for anything else. As a matter of fact. he had approached her in the light of an adventurer Who expects nothing and grasps at straws. “Not at all. not at all,” said Dep- pingham quickly. his heart leaping to the’ conclusion that the way to the American bar was likely to be opened at last. “Charmed to have you here.

His gaze was as much for Deppingham as for the prin- cess. his remark quite impersonal. They were looking toward the lower gates while carrying on this frivolous conversation. A man had just entered and was coming toward them. Both rec- ognized the tall figure in gray flannels. “Rubbish! Why should you com- plain? L001! at my hair. It’s been likened more than once to that of a Jersey cow.” “Oh. how I adore Jersey cows! Now. I wouldn’t mind that a bit.” “You know. Deppy." she said. with a pout, “i am very unhappy about my hair. It is quite» red. 1 don’t see why I should have hair like that of a red cocker. It seems so animalish." “Your logic ls splendid. Pray resume your thoughts of meal! they were pleasant and agreeable. I’ll not blow on you to Karl. By the way. i have a compliment for you. Browne says your hair is more beautiful than Pong’s. That's quite a compliment. Titian never even dreamed of hair like Pong’s.” “But, Deppy. dear. the prince isn’t here," she said. falling into his hu- mor. “That makes quite a difference. doesn’t it?" “How nice you are.” he said. “But. it)! dear, is It wisv in you to he think- ng of us handsome devils? It’s a most dangerous habitâ€"thinking of other men.” “I was thinking of you." she said in greeting as he came up. CHAPTER XIV. 'rwo CALLS PROM 'nu: ENEIY. EPPINGBAM was up and about quite early the next morningâ€"- that is, quite early for him. He had his rolls and coffee and strolled out in the shady park for a smoke. The princess. whose sense of humiliation had not been lessened by the fitful sleep of the night before. was walking in the shade of the trees on the lower terrace. beyond the foun- tains and the artificial lake.

The party had moved over to the great stone steps which led down into the gardens. Chase was standing be- side Lady Depplngham. and both '0! them were looking toward his distant “I’m not so sure about his client! wives." said Depplngham, with avast haw-haw! Chase looked extremely un- comfortable. “Besides,” said Bobby Browne breez- lly, “I haven’t heard of your client! inviting you to lunch, Mr. Chase. ' The cases are parallel.” “It’s-lt'sâ€"erâ€"oh, yes. it's because you’re a diplomat,” he finally remarké'd in triumph. It was a grand recovery, thought he. “Saunders is an ass, and Britt would be one If Browne could only admit it. as I do. Rubbish! Don‘t let that trouble you. Eh. Browne?" I “Sh!" came In a loud hiss from some- where near at hand. and the two in . the gallery looked down with startled ‘3 eyes upon the distressed face of Lord {Deppingham They started to their ' feet at once, astonishment and wonder 2m their faces. They could scarcely , believe their eyes. The enemy! “It’s very good of you,” said the en- emy after all of them had joined in the invitation. “Why is it that I am more fortunate than your own attor- neys? I am but a humble lawyer, after all. no better than they. Would you mind telling me why I am hon- ored by an invitation to sit at the table with you?” The touch of easy sarcasm was softened by the frank smile that went with it. Depplngham felt it his duty to explain. Chase was presented to Drusilla Browne, who appeared suddenly upon the scene, coming from no one knew where. There was a certain strained look in th Boston woman’s face and a suspicion redness near the bridge of her little nose. i it. Our coming is a guarantee that we [consider the will valid.

Britt is looking for hallucina- tions and all”â€" Chase was warmly welcomed by the two heirs. Lady Agnes was especially cordiaL Her eyes glea med joyousiy as she lifted them to meet his admiring gaze. She was amazingly pretty. The conviction that Chase had mistaken her for Lady Agnes the evening be- fore took a fresh grasp upon the mind of the Princess Genevra. A shameless wave of relief surged through her heart. He was smiling broadly as be lifted his helmet, smiling in spite of the dis- comfort that showed so plainly in Dep- pingham’s mannor. "The mere fact that we have come out to this blessed isle is a point In favor of the islanders. Chase won’t «worlook it, and you may be sure Sir John Brodney is making the most of “Good Lord." he said to himself. “is it possible that they are considering that â€"â€" Saunders‘ proposition? Sure- ly they can't be thinking of that!" As he led the way :wross the green Browne’s voice came to them distinct- ly. H? was saying earnestly: In the wide east gallery they saw Lady Deppingham and Bobby Browne Cu'vply engrossed in conversation. Dep- pinghaw started and involuntarily al- lowed his hand to go to his temple at if to check the thought that flltted through his brain. “Thank you. It may be my death sentence, but I'll stay.” “It’s mighty decent in you. Chase. to put us on our guard. Would you mind talking it over with Browne and me after lum'henn? You'll stay to lunch- eon, of course '2" “I came out here to escape certain consequences." said he candidly. “I’ll stay to enjoy the uncertain ones. I am not in the least alarmed on my own account. The object of my visit. Lord Depplngham, is to ask you to be on your guard up here. After the next steamer arrives and they learn that Sir John wall not withdraw me in sub- mission to liasula’s demand. with the additional news that your solicitors have filed injunctions and have begun a bitter contest that may tie up the estate for yearsâ€"then, I say. we may have trouble. It is best that you should know what to expect. I am not a traitor to my cause in telling you this. It is no more than I would expect from you were the conditions reversed." "Why db you stay here. Mr. Chase?” asked the princess. “You admit that they do not like you or trust you. Why do you stay ?" He could not help looking from Lady Deppingham to Bobby Browne, a cal- cuiating gleam in his gray eyes. How very dangerous she could be! He was quite ready to feel very sorry for pretty Mrs. Browne. He at opposite to the princess. His eyes were as- freshing themselves after months of fatigue; his blood was coursing through new veins. And yet his head was calling his heart a tool. tary sign of uneasiness, but covered it instantly by laughing with the oth- ers. Strange to say. he had been in- strncted from London to look out for just such a coup on the 'part of the heirsâ€"not that the marriage could be legally established. but that it mighfi create a complication worth avoiding. Depplngham told him of the achemo proposed by Saunders. mating It as t vast jpke. Chase showed a mama» the courts.. But they are. impatient. They are not the kind who can wait and be content. It is impossible for you to carry out the provisions of the will, and they know it. ’That in why they resent the delays that are in:- pending.” ' “The people are angry, and they will become desperate. Their interests arc mine, of course. I am perfectly sin- cere in saying to you. Lady Deppings ham. and to you. Mr. Browne. that in time they will win out against you in Chase made light of the occurrence, but sought to impress upon the others the fact that it was prophetic of more serious events in the future. In a per- fectly cold blooded manner he told them that the islanders might rise against them at any tlme. “I am sorry fur what I said." she said eagerly. “And"â€"she loode up at the hills with a sudden widening of her eyesâ€"“l think I shall not remain." “Nevertheless l have the greatest re- spect for the eonrage whieh brings you to my side i dare say you are quite justified in your opinion of me. it all must seem very theatrical to you.

Get bdck, every one! Inside the doors!” “I’m sorry to bring my troubles to your door,” said Chase. “It was meant for me, not for any of you. The man who tired that did not intend to kill me. He was merely giving voice to his pain and regret at seeing me in such .bad company."

The bullet had dropped at Chase's feet before the sound of the report came floating to their ears. No one spoke as he stooped and picked up the warm. dead- ly missile.
