I didn’t believe it was in him.” “Ail right; oid chap,” Deppingham said, with a laugh. “1 am chilled to the bone.

I can assure you poul- cively as representative or the oppo- sition that the‘grandchildreh of Skaggs and Wyckholme are not going to di- vorce or marry anybody while I’m here, Britt and Saunders and Bowles to the contrary. And Lady Depplngâ€" Britt cleared his throat. “Not for hair a second." he said. “I’m only wondering if Bowles has authority to grant div’orces." “But what are they tagging him about down .here. Chase?" blurted out the unhappy Deppingham. “I dare say be has." said Depplng- ham. tugging at his mustache. “He’s -â€"he’s a magistrate." “You don’t mean to say, Lord Dep- pingbam. that you're afraid the heirs will follow the advice of that rattle headed Saunders." said Chase. with a laugh. “Why. It wouldn’t hold in court for a second. Ask Britt." “It doesn't follow." said Chase. “that he has unlimited legal powers.” Robert Browne and Lady Agnes were seated on the edge of the foun- tain in Apollo’s grotto. conversing ear- nestly, even eagerly, with Mr. Bowles. yvho stood before them in an unmis- takable attitude of Indecision and per- turbation. Deppingham gave Chase a look which plainly revealed his un- easiness. “Oh, come now, Chase; I'm not a demmed native. you know.” After satisfying themselves that there was no possibility of the enemy ever belng able to enter the chateau through the collapsed passage the trio returned to the upper world. “Not at all. old chap.

I only meant that a hole in the ground is worth two war- ships that won’t come when we need The other grinned amiahly. “Well. you Just wait. as the boy says.” “I don’t mind Von Blitz escaping so much. Chase." said his lordship ear- nestly. “as i do the unfortunate clos- ing of what may have been our way to leave the chateau in the end." “You must think me an ungrateful fool.” said Chase bitterly. He had al- ready stated his position clearly. Chase looked up quickly. “You don’t believe that i can call the cruisers?" “Selim says there is a cave near the mouth of the passage," said Chase. “The tunnel comes out halfway up the side of the mountain overlooking the sea. and the hole is very carefully screened by the thick shruhhery.

They found that the door to the passage had been blown away by the terrific concussion. The subterra- nean passage at this place'was com- pletely filled with earth and stone. Depplngham stared at the closed mouth of the passage. “They’ve cut of! our exit. but they’ve also secured Brodney’s Copyright. I908. by Dodd.

Then he was pleased to ac- cuse Chase of duplicity and double dealing going so far as to charge the deposed American with plotting against \on Blitz to further his own ends in more ways than one. At last. however. he agreed to follow the advice of the Americanâ€"grudgingly. to be sure. but none the less determined. “You will find everything as I have stated it. Rasula." said Chase. "I' m sorry you are against me, for I would be your friend. I‘ve told you how to reach the secret cave. The chest: are there. The passage is closed. You an trap him in the attempt to rob the bank. I could have taken him M handed and elven him over to. Lord One or the stable boys volunteered to catty a note from Chase to.Rasula. asking the opportunity to lay eques- tion of grave importance defore him. Chase suggested to Rasula that he should meet him that evening at the west gate, under a flag of truce. The tone of the letteg: was more or less per. emptory.

He looked up and saw that the prin- cess was staring at him questioningly. He shook his head without thinxlg'g. The most rigid questioning elicited no information: from the servants. Baillo’s sudden. involuntary look of suspicion. directed toward Lady Agnes and 'Jtolwrt Browne. did not escape the keen eye of Holli‘ngswortb Chase. “You‘kuow, my dear." she concludedd turning to her husband. “that 1 might, have hzld Lord Ueppiugham's biscuit. His wife asked me to take it. Goody uess, you're a dreadful Bal'gia person,l Agnes.” she went on. smiling brightly at her ladysllip. Dcppingham wal fumbling nervously at his monocle. “1 should think yuu would be nervous. Lord Ueppiugllilm.” Drusilla Browne was jesting. no doubt. but it is doubtful if any one grasped the delicacy of her humor when she observed. in mock concern. addressing the assembled mourners. that she believed the heirs were try- ing to get rid of their incutnbrances after the good old Borgia fashion and that she would never again have the courage to eat a mouthful of food so long as she stood between her husband and a hymenenl fortune. There was not the slightest doubt in the minds of those conversant with the situation that the poison had been intended for either Lord or Lady Dep- pingham. The drug had been subtly. skillfully placed in one of the sand- wiches which came up to their rooms at 11 o’clock. the hour at which they invariably drank off a cup of bouillon. “No. 'i’m going to bed!” She starb' magnum"â€" ed away, then stopped and looked at “i apologize.

He died half an hour after eating-after eating a biscuit that was intended for me! It’sâ€"it’s demmed uncomfortable. to say the least.” "What do you think has happened?” demanded his lordship. addressing the two men, who stood by irresolntely. “Somebody’s trying to poison us!

He loode hard at Browne for a moment. “Oh.

Later in the night the princess came to see how the patient was getting on. He was in a dripping perspiration. He immediater recommended an old fashioned Dover’s powder and ven- tured the opinion that a ”good sweat" would soon put his lordship on his feet. “better than ever." Ueppingham kept Bowles beside him while Browne generously prepared and administered the medicine. Browne arose quickly, a flash of re. sentment in his eyes. ”See here.
