A valiant heart thumped once more against the seams of the little red jacket. if his hand trembled and his voice shook it was because of the unwonted exertion to which both had been put in that stir- ring flight at dawn. i “For some time we have been pre- paring tor the outbreak.” he said. an. gering the glass of brandy that Britt had poured for him. “Ever since Chase began to go in so noticeably for _ the ladlea-ahem!" “I don’t mean the old story. sir. of the Persians, and l’m saying. sir. what’s more, there wasn’t a word of truth in itâ€"I mean the ladies of the chateau. begging pardon too. Von Blitz came to me often with com- plaints that you were being made a fool of by a pretty face or two and that you were going over to the enemy body and soul. When i heard that they tried to kill you the night before last i made up my mind that no white man was to be left to tell the tale. Last night we locked all the company’s books in the vaults. got together all the bank notes and gold we had on hand and made preparations to go on board the steamer when she called this morning. My plan was to tell them of the trouble here and try to save you. We were all expected to die of the plagueâ€"that’s what we wereâ€"and I realized that Tommy Atkins was 01! the boards forever. The remainder of the men in the party, fourteen or fifteen in all, were of many castes and nationalities and of various ages. There were brown skinned fellows from Calcutta. a con- ple of sturdy Greeks. an Egyptian and a Persian, three or four Assyrians and as many Maoris. As to their walks in life, among them were clerks and guards from the bank, members of the native constabulary, indian takers and showmen and venders of foreign gew~ Once inside the chateau the fugi- tives. shivering with terror. fairly col- lapsed. There were three Englishmen in the party besides Bowles. and Chase recognized the Persian wives of Jacob von Blitz among the women who had been obliged to cast their lot with the refugees from Aratat. The sister of Neenah and five or six other women who had been sold into the island made up the remainder of the little group of trembling females. “For God’s sake. be quick!" shouted Bowles. “There’s a thousand of them coming up the mines roadil” The gates were unlocked by the pa- trol. and the panic stricken throng tumbled through them and scattered like sheep behind.the high. sheltering walls. Once more the massive gates were closed and the bolts thrown down just in time to avoid a fuslllade of bullets from the outside. Chase glared at him. The others tit- Chase. in advance. suddenly gave vent to a loud cry and boldly dashed out into the open, disregarding all shelter. Two of the native park patrol were hastening toward the gate from another direction. Outside the huge. barred gate a throng of men and women were congregated. Some of the men were vigorously slashing away at the bars with sledges and crowbars; others were crouching with rifles leveled-tn the other direction! “It’s Bowles!” shouted Chase eagerly. The situation at once became clear so those inside the walls. Bowles and his friends. a score all told, had man- aged to reach the upper gate and were now clamoring for admission, beset on all sides by the enemy’s pickets. The next instant the men in the bal- cony were leaving it pellmell. picking up the ever ready rifles as they dashed off through the halls and out into the park. They kept themselves as well covered as possible by the boxed trees, although up to this time there had been no shooting. Continued from page 8.

He did his best. poor chap. and I”â€" “Lookl” exclaimed Britt suddenly, pointing toward one of the big gates in the upper end of the park. “1 be- lieve they’re making an attack!” ii" . THE MAN FROM ,wfifiimgd BRODNEY’S from the {and 1nd_ THE DURHAM CHRONICLE while we can," Browne was saying: “Think of what the French did at the time of the commune. They danced “Position? Whatâ€"oh. I see. Not ex- actly. What do you say to a charity ball, the proceeds to go to the survivors of the plague we’re expected to have?” The princess gave a quick. involun- tary look at Chase’s face. Browne’s tall fellow countryman was now lean- lng against the rail beside her chair. She saw a look of surprised amuse- ment mt across his face. succeeded al- most instantly by a hard, dark frown of displeasure. He waited a moment and then looked down at her with un- mlstakable shame and disapproval In his eyes. “Splendid!” was the sudden exclama- tion of Dmsilla’s vagrant lord. The others looked up, interested. “Say, everybody, Lady Agnes and l have hit upon a tipping scheme. It's great!” “They’re not so bad. are they, Bob- by ?” asked Lady Agnes coolly. going to Browne’s side at the railing. It may not have been true that Browne was in love with Lady Deppingham, but It was more than evident that his wife felt convinced that he was. “Not to llvewith it! Ho. ho. I see, by Jove!” roared Depplngbam amiably. “Splendid! Harem! I get the point.

The three leaders found the ladies in the shaded balcony, lounging lazily, as if no such thing as danger existedJ dozen indolent Persians were conned gated. lying about in the shade with all the abandon of absolute securan The three women in the balcony had been watching them for an hour. comâ€" menting freely upon these W from another world Neenah, thd youngest and prettiest of them all. had wafted kisses to the proud dams.I above.
