In the meantime Bobby Browne. dis- Iaining m commands and entreaties. retusedtobeputtobeduntllhehad related. the story of their capture and the subsequent events that made the night memorable. He sat with his rigid arm about his wife's shoulders. Drusilla was stroking one of his hands In a half conscious manner, her eyes staring past his face toward the dark forest from which he had come. Mr. Britt was ordering brandy for his trembling client. After a moment Lady Agnes said dreamilyt “I climbed up the ladder to make a ‘ladyship’ of myself by mar- riage, and I find I love my husband. I dare say If you should go down the ladder a few rounds. my dear, you might be as lucky. But take my ad- vice. If you won’t marry Holungs- worth Chase. don't let him come to Paris." “I do love himâ€"yes. I do love him!" cried the prinoess, casting reserve to the winds. “He knows ltâ€"every one knows lt. But marry him? Noâ€"noâ€" no! I shall marry Karl. My father, my mother, my grand father, have said so, and I have said it too. That ends it, Agnes. Don't speak of it again." She cast herself down upon the side of the bed and clinched her hands in the fierceness of despair andâ€"decision. “But you love him,” Lady Agnes managed to mumble despite the gentle lmpediment. “My dear. I don’t understand my- self. How can I expcct you or my husband to understand me? How could I expect it of Bobby Browne? Genevra, you are in loveâ€"madly in loveâ€"with Holllngsworth Chase. Take my advice. Marry him. He’s one man in a”â€" Genevra placed her hand over the lips of the feverish young woman. “I will not listen to anything more about Mr. Chase.” she said firmly. “I am tiredâ€"tired to deathâ€"or being told that I should marry him.” “You wore not in love with Mr. Browne. That is why I can’t under- stand you, Agnes." “Genovra.” sln- said solemnly in the end, “take warning from my example. When you onro arv married don’t trifle with othor mvnmnot own if you should not love your lmslmnd. Sooner or later you’d got trippml up. It doesn't pay, my dear. I nmwr n-alizml until tonight how much I rmlly mro for Denny. and I am horribly afraid that I've lost something I (ran m-wr recover.” Lady ILlemfinglmm was got to bed at once. The prinwss, more thrilled by excitement than she ever had been in her life, attended her friend.

What could he be expectvd to know of the moods 01' royal prinvessvs? No more than he could know of their loves. “I think I like myself as the princess. too,” she said naively. He sighed deeply. They were quite close to the excited group on the terrace when she said: “I am very. very happy now. after the must mixvrahle night I have cvor'knowu. l was so troubled and afraid”â€" “Just because I went away for that little Whilv? hm'l forgot that I am soon to go out from you for all time.

He was about to say By GEORGE BARR M’GIHCHEON THE DURH A M CHRONICLE “Ah, me!" sighed the master resign-l edly. “She smiled so divinely. Henner l glrls never smlle. do they, Selim? Have you noticed that they are. always I pensive? Perhaps you haven’t. It. doesn’t matter. But thls one smiled.l I lay," coming back to earth, “haul they begun to distill the water? I". M a frightful :hL-s' " “I’m sorry you awoke me, Selim.” said the master enigmatically. Selim drew back, dismayed. “You drove her away." Selim’s eyes blinked with be- wilderment. “I‘m afraid she'll nevc come back.” . He was awakened at noon by Selim, who obeyed his instructions to the minute. The eager Arab rubbed tho soreness and stin'ness out or his mu- ter’s body with copious applications at alcohol. “Excellency !” trembled on the llpoot the mystified servant. of the vague, greenish features that haunt the vision with their subtle mysticism. “I guess he’ll be a good boy tron: now on.” But he wondered what it was that he had seen or felt in her Iomber gaze. In fifteen mlnntes he was sound asleep ln hla room, his long frame re- laxed. his land: wide open in utter htlgne. He dreamed of a Henna? girl with Genem'a brilliant face Instead She held out her hand to him impul- sively. As he gallantly lifted the cold fingers to his lips she said, without taking her almost hungry gaze from his face: “Thank you, Mr. Chase. I shall never forget you." He stood‘ there looking after them as they went up the stairway, a puzzled expression in his face. “Ohase, you may tell your clients that, so far as I am concerned, they may have the beastly island and every- thing that goes with it. I'm through with it all. I shall discharge Britt and”â€" “My dear boy, it’s most magnum- mous of you!" cried Chase merrily. “But I‘m afraid you can’t decide the question in such an offhand manner. Take good care of him. Mrs. Browne. Don’t let him talk." “Nonsense! Your wife needs you, Bfowne. I dare say that I wouldn’t have been above the folly that got the better of you. Only"-â€"he hesitat- ed for a minuteâ€"“only it couldn’t have happened to me If I had a wife as dear and as good and as pretty as the one you have." Browne was silent for a long time, his arm still about Drusilla’s shoulder. At the end of the long ball he said, with. decision in his voice: “I've been a fool, Chase. I don’t de- serve the friendship of any oneâ€"not even that of my wife. It’s all over. though. You understand? I’m not a coward. I’ll do anything you say, take any risk, to pay for the trouble I've caused you all. Send me out to fight”â€" “Never mind, old man! Say no more," interrupted Chase, suddenly embarrassed. “Chase.” said Browne In a low voice, his face turned away to hide the mor- tlficatiou that filled his soul. “you are a man! I want you to know that I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Outside the walls the islanders were shouting and calling to each other. Rifles were cracking far and near, voicing in their pm-uliarly spiteful way the rage that reigned supreme. As Chase ascendvd the steps Bobby Browne and his wife came up beside him. “Yes. and it’s on Rasula." said the other laconically. “You say that Re- aula isn't aware of the fact that you overheard what he said to his man. Then. even now. in spite of your es- cape. he believes that we may go on. drinking the water without in the least suspeeting what it has in store for us. Good! That's why i say the joke is on him. Browne. you are a doctor, a chemist. Well. we'll distill and double and triple distill the water. That’s all. A Schoolboy might have thought of that. it’s all right, old man. You're tagged out. Your brain isn't working well. Don’t look so crestfallen. Mr. Britt. you and Mr. Saunders will give immediate instruc- tions that no more water is to be drunk or used until Mr. Browne has had a few hours' rest. lie can take an alcohol hath. and we can all drink wine. It won't hurt us. At 10 o'clock sharp Dr. Browne will begin operating the distilling apparatus in the labora- tory. By Jove. will you listen to the row my clients are making out there in the woods! They seem to be an- noyed over something." Hollingsworth Chase uttered a short, Icornful laugh as he uncont-eruedly litt- ed a match to one of his precious ciga- rettes. The others stared at him in amazement. A shudder of horror swept through the crowd. Every one looked into his neighbor’s face with a profound inquir- ing light in his eyes. seeking for the first time evidence of approaching death. “Great God, Chase.” groaned Browne, “is this a Joke?" diabolical scheme he has arranged. The water that comes to us from the sprlngs up there In the hllls is to he poisoned by those devils. I heard Rasula glvlug instrm-tious to one of his lleutenants.

Selim gasped. “Excellency!" “Don’t you love her?” “Yes, yes, sahibâ€"yes! But it she would be a trouble to youâ€"no!” pro- tested the Arab anxiously. Chase laughed as he came to appreciate the sacrifice his servant would make for him. Drusilla kept close to his side dur- ing these operations. She seemed afraid or ashamed to join the others. She avoided Lady Deppinghnm as completely as possible. Her eifort to be friendly when they were thrown together was almost pltiahle. As for Lady Agnes she seemed stricken by an nnconqnerahle lassi- tnde. The spirits that had controlled her voice. her look. her movements. were sadLy missing.

Hour after hour he stood watch over the water that went up in vapor and returned to the crystal llquld that was more precious than rubles and sapphires.

Some powerful in- fluence suddenly exerted ltseli‘ to re- store them to a state of calmness. They withdrew to the town. apparent- ly defeated. The cause was obvious- Rasula had convinced them that death already was lifting his hand to blot out the lives of those who opposed them. No later than that morning a steam- erâ€"a sinall Dutch freighterâ€"had come to a stop otl’ the harbor. but it turned tall and tied within an hour. No one came ashore. 'l‘he malevolent tug went out and turned back the landing party which was ready to leave the ship's side. The watchers tn the cha- teau knew what it was that the tug‘s captain shouted through his trumpet at a safe distance from the steamer. The black and yellow flags at the end of the company’s pier lent color to a grewsome story. The hopeless look do wed in the eyes of the watchers. lutlllllgS‘VOI'th Chase alone maintain- ed a stubborn air of confidence and unconcern. “Don’t be downhearted, Bowics,” he said to the moping British agent. “You‘ll soon be managing the bank again and patronizing the American bar with the same old regularity." CHAPTER X X X. THE TWO wuiilJls. W0 days and nights crept slowly I into the waist, and now the White People of the. chateau had come to the eve of their last day’8 stay on the island of Japat. The probationary period would expire with the sun on the following day, the an- niversary of the death of 'l‘aswell Skaggs. The six months set aside by the testator as suiiit-ivnt for all the re- quirements of Cupid were to come to an inglorious end at 7 o'clock on Mart-h 29. According to the will. if Agnes ltuthveu and Robert Browne were not married to each other before the close of that day all of tiwir rights in the estate were lost to tin-m. Tomorrow would he the last day of residence required. But, aim-k, was it to be the last that they were to spend in the world forsaken land? “Then she may yet be the slave of the most glorious princess! Allah is great! The most glorious one has asked her If she will not come with her.” “Selim," commanded the master omi- nously, “don’t repeat the gossip you >th a, when I’m not around." “I’ll take you with me. Selim, wher- ever I goâ€"and it I go-but, my lad. we’ll take Neenah along, too, to save trouble. She‘s not for sale: my good Selim.” The husband of Neenah radi- ated joy. “Neenah says you will go there to live, sahlb.
