In the grand hallway they came upon Britt and Saunders, white faced and excited. The white servants were clattering down the stairways, filled with alarm, but there was not one or the native attendants in sight. This “Come.” he called. and the princess, feeling Drusilla’s band grasping her arm. gave one helpless look at the fire and hastened to obey. There was wisdom in what he said, and Browne was not slow to see it clearly. With a single penetrating glance at Genevra’s despairing face, he shook his head gloomily and turned to follow" Deppingham, Who was hur- rying ofl.’ through the corridor with her ladyship. “Stop!" shouted Deppingham. “We dare not leave this place! If they have turned against Chase, they are also ready for us. I'm not a coward, Browne. We’re needed here, that’s all. It’s too late to help Chase. They’ve got him, poor devil! Everybody inside! Get to the guns if possible and cut of! the servants’ quarters. We must not let them surprise us. Follow me!" He did not wait for an answer, but dashed out of the garden and down the steps. calling to his wife to follow. “You’re right!" shouted Browne. “He’s not the kind to go down with the first rush. We must go to him. We can get there in ten minutes. Britt! Where are the guns? Are you with us. Dvppingham?” “Can’t something be done ?" she cried again and again, without taking her gaze from the doomed bungalow. She turned fiercely upon Bobby Browne, his countryman. Afterward she re- called that he stood staring as she had stared, Lady Deppingham clasping his arm with both of her hands. The glance also took in the face of Dep» pingham. He was looking at his wife, and his eyes were wide and glassy, but not with terror. “It may not be too late!” again cried the princess. “There are enough of us here to make an of- fort, no matter how futile. He may be alive and trapped up"- of her body. Through her brain went whirling the recollection of his last words to her that afternoon, “They’ll find me ready if they come for trou- ble." She wondered if he had been ready for them or it they had sur- prised him! She had heard the shots. phase could not have fired them all.

OR many minutes the watchers in the chateau stared at the burning bungalow, fascinated. petrified. Through the mind of each man ran the sudden, sharp dread that Chase had met death at the hands of his enemies. Genevra felt her heart turn cold. Then something seemed to clutch her by the throat and choke the breath out “ Can’t something be done 7" she cried. TH E: MAN FROM BRODNEY’S Continued, from page 3.

She was thinking hard and fast. a light brealglng in upon her understanding. Something like Joy shot into her being. Who else could it be tt not Chase? He alone would call out her name. He was alive! She called out his name ahrllly, her face raised eagerly to the bobbing light. Not until hours afterward was Genevra to resent the use of her Chrll- tlan name by the man in the clouds: Rushing over. she grasped the knot- ted end of the rme. A glance and a single tug were sumcient to convince her that the other end was attached At last, far above. she saw the glim- mer of a light. It was too large to be a star. and It moved back and forth. Fascinated, almost paralyzed, she watched in for a full minute before realizing that it was the end of a thick rope which lost itself in the heavy shadows at the clin‘ end of the garden. She was standing directly in the shaft of light. To her surprise, the wriggling ceased. The next mo- ment a faint, subdued shout was borne to her ears. Her flight was checked by that shout. for her startled. bewil- dered ears caught the sound of her own name. “qumnn-Isuntof'lh “'91" SW: at the W ct the air. An instant later a solid ob- ject fell almost at her feet. She start- ed back with a cry of alarm. A broad shaft of light crossed the garden, thrown by the lamps in the upper hall of the chateau. Her eyes fell upon a wriggling, snakellke thing that lay in this path of light. Suddenly there came to her ears the sound of something swishing through A question was beginning to form Itself vaguely in bet troubled mind. Were all of them to die as Chase had died? ters.

She was won- dering now If he had a mother. sis- She was not to know till long after- ward that one of her faithful Thor- berg men stood guard in the passage leading up from the garden, armed and willing to die. One or the other slept in front of her door through all those nights on the island. The night was still and ominously dark. She had never known a night since she came to J apat when the birds and insects were so mute. A somber. supernatural calm hung over the is- land like a pail. The smell of smoke hung about her. She could not help wondering if his fine, strong body was lying up there burned to a crisp. It was far past midnight. She was alone in the garden. Sixty feet below her was the ground; above, the black dome of heaven. Far in the night Genevra, sleepless and depressed. stole into the hanging garden. Her mind was full of the hor- rid thing that had happened to Hol- lingsworth Chase. He had been notho ing to her. He could not have been anything to her had he escaped the guns of the assassins. And yet her heart was stunned by the stroke that it had sustained. Wide eyed and sick. she made her way to the railing and, clingid‘g to the vines, stared for' she knew not how long at the dull red glow on the mountain. Firearms and ammunition were tak- en from the gunroom to the quarters occupied by 'the white people. Every preparation was made for a defense in the event of an attack from the out- side or inside. The white servants were moved into rooms adjoining their employers. Britt and Saunders trans- ferred their belongings to certain gor- geous apartments. Miss i’elham went into a Marie Antoinette suit close by that of the princess. The native serv- ants retained their customary quar- ters below stairs. “It won’t do, Browne." said Dep- plngbam, shaking his head. “They are fatalists; they are stoics. 1 know the breed better than you. Question If you like, but threats will be of no avail. Keep ’em locked up; that’s al_l." “There will be no other attack on us tonight," said Browne, rejoining the women after his interview with Baillo. “It has missed tire for the present, but they will try to get at us sooner or lat- er from the outside. Britt. will you and Mr. Saunders put those prisoners through the sweat box? You may be able to blufl' something out of them if you threaten them with death.
