The dungeon was at! to the right. They could hear the insistent murmur of voices, with now and then a laugh from .the distant cells. The guard could be heard acomng at his charges. With a caution that seemed wholly ab- surd to the two white people. Neenah guided them through the maze of nan row panacea, dark as Erebus and chill u the grave. Chase checkedJ hm- vv-v- \vu sly-JULIE Neena‘h led them through the wine cellars and down into the vaults be- yond the dungeons. The princess clutched Chase's hand tightly as they stole through the bleak, chill corridor. She found herself wondering if the girl was to be trusted. What if she were leading them into a trap? She would have whispered her fears into Chase’s car had not a sharp “Sh !” come This astounding piece of news swept away the feeble barrier Genevra would have erected in her pique. She con- sented to accompany Chase into the cellars, a spirit of adventure overcom- ing certain scruples which might have restrained her under other conditions. “Selim has found fuses and gunpow- der laid in the cenars, exeellencyâ€"m' the secret vaults." began Neenah ea- gerly, divining the cause of the white lady’s hesitation. ' “I am not at all nocessnryto the un- dertaking.” she said coldly. turning to leave him. “Then there is no reaso why you should not accompany us. p ncess.” “Wait. please!" be exclaiméd. “is Selim hurt?” he demanded of Neenah. who shook her head vigorously. Chase felt his ears burn when he turned to find a delicate. significant smile on Genevra’s lips. “Don’t let me detain you,” she said. ever so politely. “Excellency," she began breathless- iy, “it is Selim who would have pri- vate speech with the most gracious snhih. It is to be quick, excellency. Selim is under the ground. excellency.” ,“In the cellars?” “Yes, excellency. It is so dark there that one cannot see, but Neenah will iead'yon. Selim has sent me. But come now!" THE JOY OF TEMPTATION. ’ l . l . HERE was but little sleep in ' the chateau that night. The i charity ball was forgotten or. if recalled at all, only in con- nection with the thought of what it came so near to costing its promoters. No further disturbances occurred. A strict watch was preserved; the pic- turesque drawbridge was lifted. and there were lights on the terrace and gal- . leries: men slept within easy reach of 1 their weapons. The aim had begun ‘in earnest. Men had been slain, and : their blood was crying out for venge- ance; the voice of justice was lost in the clamorings of rage. ‘ I The princess was quite serene. She 5 lightly announced that the present state of aflairs was no worse than that which she was accustomed to at home. The court of Rapp-Thorberg ? was ever in a state of unrest, despite 'its outward suggestion of security. ,‘0utbreaks were common among the g ! masses. Somehow they were sup- ‘ pressed before they grew large enough , to be noticed by the wide world. I Soon after breakfast was over Chase announced his intention to visit each of the gates in turn. The princess strolled with him as far as the bridge at the foot of the terrace. They stop- ped in the shade of a clump of trees that hung upon the edge of the stream. As they were graxeiy discussing the events of the night Neenah came up to them from beyond the bridge. She salaamed gracefully to the “sabib.” She had no eyes for royalty. -v ‘ “vvov‘ru v.7 yuu vv luv 1m “We invariably come out on top,” she phllosophized, “and so shall we here. At home we always eat, drink and make merry. for tomorrow never comes." Death was there; but, after all. death is no traitor. The man whose duty it was to guard the prisoners was found lying inside the big cell, his throat cut from ear to ear. stone dead! He had been seized from within as he came to the grat- ing in response to a call. While cer- tain fingers choked him into silence, others held his hands. and still others wrenched the keys from his sash. After that it was easy. Depplngham, Chase and Selim looked at each other in horror. and, strange as it may seem, relief. The three men who went down Into the damp. chill regions below ground soon returned with set, pale faces. There had been no traitor! A small force was left to guard the gate. The remainder returned as quickly as possible to the chateau. Immediately upon the return to the chateau an inspection of the dungeons was made. prior to an examination of the servants in the en'ort to apprehend the traitor. The five fugitives were compelled to carry their fallen comrades and the two Greeks from the open space in front of the gates to a point where It was safe for the defenders to approach them without coming In line with a possible volley from the forest. Continued from page 3. The prisoners, finding themselves trapped. threw themselves upon the ground and shrieked for mercy. Lord Deppingham and the others came up and, scattering well, began to fire at the mass outside the wall. The island- ers were at a disadvantage. They could not locate the opposing marksmen on account of the blinding light in their faces. It was but a moment before they were scampering on‘ into the dark Wood, shrieking with rage.

They gazed ‘at it without comprehension. duml. in their sudden weakness. A shadowy figure came out through the door, and Selim’s voice, low and tense. called to them. “Forgive me.” he murmured. “It is too late.” she replied. Then his hand sought hers again. and, dizzy with emotion, he led her up to the open door. As they passed into the huge, dimly lighted chamber he turned to look into her face. She met his gaze, and there were tears in her eyes. Selim was ahead of them. She shook her head sadly, and he understood. A door creaked sharply. He released her. Their quivering arms fell away., They drew ever so slightly apart. still: under the control of the influence which had held them for that hriet‘l moment. She was trembling violentlyd A. soft. wailing sigh as or pain came‘ from her lips. “Genevx‘a!” he murmured, almost gasped. in his delirium. ‘Hls arms went about her slender figure sudden- ly, and she was strained to his breast. locked to him with bonds that seemed unbreakable. Her face was lifted to his. The blackness of the passage was impenetrable, but love was the guide. He found her llps in one wild, glorious kiss. “Yes," she murmured convulsive”â€" “Of you! Please, please, don't!" .0 the same time she tightened her clutch upon his hand and crept closer to him, governed by an unconquerahle craving. Chase had the sensation of smothering. He could not believe the senses which told him that she was responding to his appeal. “Are you afraid?" be whispered in tones he had never heard before. “Oh!" fell faintly. tremulously, from Genevra’s lips. It was a trap. after all! But it was not the trap laid by a traitor. She tell all aquiver. Her heart fluttered violently; her breath came quickly. Alone with him. and their blood leaping to the touch that thrilled! Chase could no more have restrained the hand that went out suddenly in quest of hers than he could have checked his own heart throhs. A wave of exquisite joy swept over him-tho joy of a temptation that knew no fear. no conscience. He found her cold lit- tle hand and clasped it in tense tin- gersâ€"flngers that throbbed with the call to passion. He drew her close: their bodies touched and sweetly trem- bled. “Walt here," she whispered to Chase. ever so softly. She released his hand and moved OH in the blackness of the passage. “1 will bring Sellm.” came back to them. Neenah may have felt the magnetic current that coursed through these surcharged creatures. She was smil- ln'g mysteriously to herself. He was walking between the two women. Neenah ahead. Genevra be- i hind. Each clasped one of his hands. ‘ Suddenly he found himself experienc- ing an overpowering desire to exert the strength of his arm to draw the princess closeâ€"close to his insistent body. The touch of her flesh. the clutch of her cold little hand. filled him with the most exquisite s’ense of possession. The magnetism of life charged from one to the other. strik- ing fire to the blood. He was forget- ting Neenah. forgetting himself. think- ing only of the opportunity and its fascination. In another instant he would have drawn her hand to his lips. Neenah came to a standstill and uttered a warning whisper. Chase re- covered himself with a mighty start. a chill as of one avoiding an unseen peril sweeping over him. Genevra heard the sharp. painful intake of his breath and felt the sudden relaxation of his fingers. She was not puzzled. She, too. had felt the magic of the touch. and her blood was surging red. She knew then that she had been clasping his hand with a terror that was as unmistakable as it was shame- less. term“ Impulse to laugh amud at the proceedings.
