Chase had been up nearly all of the night, fearful lest the islanders should } seize the opportunity to scale the walls under cover of the tempest. All through the night he had been poso sessed of a spirit of wild bravado. a glorious exaltation. He was keeping watch over her, standing between her and peril, guarding her while she slept. His thoughts. however, did not con- . template the princess fair in a state of j wretched insomnia. with himself as the disturbing element. 9 “Ah, the ficklety of women!” he sighed. “There’s a new word for you. Selim-ficklety.” It was far past midday when he heard from Rasula. He had seen the princess but once, and then she was walking briskly, wrapped in a rain coat, followed by her shivering dogs and her. two Rapp-Thorberg soldiers. Somehow she failed to see Chase as he sanntered hungrily, almost imploro ingly. across the upper terrace. in plain view. Perhaps, after all. it was not the weather. We have reason to suspect that you were right in your suspicions. The gold- en plate has been found this day in the cave below the chateau, just as you have said. This much of what you have charged against Jacob von Blitz seems to be borne out by the evidence secured. Last night there was an attempt to rob the vaults in the company's bank. Again I followed your advice and laid a trap for the men engaged. They were slain in the struggle which followed. 1 have to in- form you, sir. that your charge against Jacob von Blitz does not hold good in the case of the bank robbery. Therefore I am impelled to believe that you may have unjustly accused him of being im- plicated in the robbery of the treasure chests. He was not among the bank thieves. There were but three of themâ€" the Boer foremen. Jacob von Blitz came up‘liiinself and joined us in the fight against the traitors. He was merciless in his anger against them. You have said that you will testify against him. Sir. I have taken it upon myself to place him under restraint notwithstanding his ac- tions against the Boers. He shall have a fair trial. If it is proved that he is guilty. he shall pay the penalty. We are Just peeple. ‘ Sir, we. the people of Japat. will take you at your word. We ask you to appear against the prisoner and give evidence in support of your charge. He shall he placed on trial tomorrow morning at 10 CHAPTER XXV. run raw. or vou nu'rz. HE next morning found the weather unsettled. There had been a fierce storm during the night. and a nasty mist was blowing up from the sea. Deppingham kept to his room. although his cold was dissipated. He looked for her at breakfast time. . They usually had their rolls and cof- fee together. When she did not ap- pear he made more than one pretext to lengthen his own stay in the break- fast room. “She's trying to forget yesterday." he reflected. Selim came to him in the midst of his reflections. hearing a thick. rain soaked envelope. ""_' '-â€"'â€"â€" â€"-â€"-_' Tw' “Certainly, Lady Deppingham. They are expecting me." “Don’t be foolhardy, Chase. They will kill you like a rat!" exclaimed Deppingham. “Oh. no, they won’t." said the other confidently. “They’ve given their prom- ise through Rasula. Whatever else they may be. they hold a promise ea- vâ€"wâ€" v.-â€" “Selim. you must not forget that you are a gentleman. That was most un- gallant. But I suppose you got them ?” Rasula’s messenger came to the gates and announced that he had a letter for Mr. Chase. Rasula had this to say: “It was found. excellency, inside the southern gate, and it is meant for you," said Selim. Chase gingerly slashed open the envelope with his fruit knife. He laughed ruefully as he read the simple but laborious message from Jacob von Blitz: “Where are your warships all this time? They are not coming to you ever. Goodby. You got to die yet too. Your friend, Jacob von Blitz. And my wives too." Chase stuffed the blurred. sticky let- ter into his pocket and arose to stretch himself. “There’s something coming to you. Jacob." he said, much to the wonder of Selim. “Selim, unless I miss my guess pretty badly. we’ll be having a message. not from Garcia, but from Rasula before long. How are my ciga- rettes holding out?" “They run low, sabib. Neenah has given all of hers to me for you. excel- lency, and l have demanded those of the wives of Von Blitz." “No, sahib. They refused to give them up. They are saving them for Mr. Britt.” said Selim dejectedly. is taken by people in tropi- cal countries all the year round.

Mud By GEORGE BAR M'GUIGHEON from THE DURHAM CHRONICLE “I would not take you among them for all the world. You forget. Neither of us would come back.” “Neither of us?" she said slowly. “I wouldn’t come back without you.” he said quietly, earnestly. She under- stood. “Goodhy! Don‘t wary about me. I am in no danger." “Goodby.” she said. the prince- once more. “I shall pray for you with all my .0111.” She gave him, her hand. “I was unhappy because you had for- saken me.” be said gently. “You are braveâ€"you are wonderful!

Thank you for sending me away happy.” “Won’t you let me go with you?” she asked after a long, penetrating look into his eyes. Depplngham. “Oh. no, they won’t," aald the other confidently. “They’ve given their prom- lse through Rasula. Whatever else they may be. they hold a pmmlse u- cred. They know I’ll come. If I don’t they'll know that I am a coward. You wouldn’t have them think 1 am a cow- and would you. Lady Depplngham?” The next morning he coolly set forth for the gates, scarcely thinking enough of the adventure to warrant the mat- ter of fact goodbys that he bestowed upon those who were congregated to see him off. His heart was sore as he strode rapidly down the drive. Go- nevra had not come down to say fare- well. As he turned into the tree lined ave- nue near the gate a slender young wo- man in a green and white gown arose from a seat in the shade and stepped a pace forward. opening her parasol quite leisurely as he quivkened his steps. Her eyes gleamed brightly. and she was breathing as one who has run swiftly. “You are determined to go down there among those men ?" she demand- ed. the smile suddenly giving way to a look of disapproval. She ignored his hand. “By heaven.” he muttered, strangely vexed with her, “I fancy she means it. She’s bent on showing me my place. But she might have come down and wished me good luck. That was little enough for her to do. Ah. well!” he sighed, putting it away from him. “Certainly," he said after the mo ment of bewilderment. “Why not? I -â€"I thought you had made up your mind to let me go without aâ€"a word for good luek.” She found great diffi- culty in meeting the wistful look in his eyes. “You are good to come down here to say 'goodby. We're almost strangers again." “I did not come down to say goodby.” she said. Her lips trembling ever so slightly. “I don’t understand,” he said. “I am going with you into the town- as a witness." she s:1ld,and her fad: wont pale at the thought of it. “Why not. Mr. Chase?” She tried to speak calmly. but she was trembling. After all, she was a slender, helpless girlâ€"not an amazon! “1 saw and heard everything. They won’t believe you unsupported. They wen’t harm me. 1f I swear to them that what you say is true they”â€" “I’m happy again!" he cried. “It’s all right with me now." She withdrew her band on the instant. “No. no! It isn’t that." she said. her eyes narrowing. "Don’t misinterpret my coming here to say that 1 will go. It isn’t becauseâ€"no. it isn’t that!" “Genevra.” he cried. “you-you would do that?" Her hand was on his arm now, trem- bling. eager, yet charged with fear at the prospect ahead of her. He clasped the little hand in his and quickly lifted It to his lips. o'clock. On my honor as a. men em 3 bellever I assure safety to you while you ere among us on that occasion. I. Be.- eule, will meet you at the gates and will conduct you back to them in safety. It you are a. true man, you will not evade “Well, it looks as though Von Bill: has spiked your guns.” said Depping- ham. “The dog turns against his con- tedemtes and saves his own skin by killing them. " “In any event." said Browne, “you spoiled his little game. He loses the treasure, and he didn’t get into tht- vaults. Raaula should take than points ipto consideration." “He iron‘t forget them, rest tented. That's why I’m sure that he'll at. my word atthetrlal uagamstthatot Von Blitz." said Ohm. "Youâ€"you don’t mean to say. Mr. mr'cmdmmvflemd. At last Selim uttered a shout of Joy. He forgot the deference due his bet- ters and unceremoniously dashed 01! toward the gates. followed by Neenah, who seemed possessed of wings. Chase was returning! They saw him coming up the drive, his hat in his hand. his white umbrella raised above his head. The eager. joy- ous watchers saw him greet Selim and his fluttering wife. They saw Selim fall upon his knees, and they felt the tears rushing to their own eyes. “Hurray!” shouted little Mr. Saun- ders in his excitement. Bowles and the three clerks joined,him in the ex- hibition. The princess was conscious of the fact that at least five or six pairs of eyes were watching her face. She closed her lips and compelled her eyelids to obey the dictates of a re- sentful heart. She lowered them until they gave one the impression of indo- lent curiosity, even indifference. All the while her incomprehensible heart was thumping with a rapture that knew no allegiance to royal conven- shade of the satinwoods. looking after him with eyes that grew wider and wider with the tears that weiied up from behind. Bonn went byâ€"slow. tortuous hours in which the souls of those who watched and waited for his return were tried to the utmost. Once there came to the ears or the watchers on the mountain side the sound of distant shouts. later the brief rattle of firearms. The blood of every one turned cold with apprehension. Every voice was stilled. every eye wide with dread. Neenah screamed as she fled across the terrace toward the drawbridge. where Selim stood as mo- tionless at a statue. Luncheon time passed. and again. as it drawn by a magnet. the entire household made its way to the front at the chateau. his medicine bravelyâ€"twelve leaden pills administered by as many skillful surgeons. But it is yet too early to congratulate yourselves on your free- dom. Rasula has promised to kill all of us, whether we deserve it or not." “They shot him?" deman ed Dep- pingham when he had finish . “Admirably. By Jove, those fellows can shoot! They accepted my word against hisâ€"which is most gratifying to my pride. One other man testified against himâ€"a chap who saw him with the Boers not ten minutes before the attempt was made to rob the vaults. Rasula appeared as counsel for the de- fense. Merely a matter of form. He knew that he“ was guilty. There was no talk of a new trial; no appeal to the supreme court. Britt; no expense to the community." He was as unconcerned about it u if discussing the most trivial happen- ing of the day. Von Blitz lived not ten minutes after sentence was passed. “As to their intentions toward us." said Chase. “they are firm in their de- termination that no one ahall leave the chateau alive. Ramla was quite frank with me. Be is a cool devil. He calmly notified me that we will all be dead inside of two week.

Just be- ing a witness. that‘s all. You'll find how easy it is when you get back to London and have to testify in the Skuggs will contest. Tell the truth. that's all." The princess was now looking at his brown face with eyes over which she had lost control. “Oh, by the bye,” he said, as if struck by a sudden thought. “it is my painful duty to announce to the Mesdames von Blitz that they are widows." “Yes." he went on solemnly. “Jacob is no more. He was found guilty by his judges and executed with com- mendable haste and pra-ixiou. He took There was a dead silence. The three women stared up at him. uncompre- bending.
