Depplngham shouted and took a step forward to divert the aim of the frenzied lawyer. Rasula uttered a shriek of rage. He had been crouching back among his cohorts, panting with fury. Now be sprang forward, murder In his eyes. His arm was raised, and a great pistol “You see, Rasula, I have called for the cruiser. and it has come at my bidding.” Turning to the crowd that surged up from behind. cowed and cringing, Chase said: “It rests with you. If I give the word that ship will blow you from the face of the earth. I am your friend, peOple. I would do you no harm, but good. You have been mis- led by Rasula. Rasula. you are not a tool. You can save yourself even now. I am here as the servant of these peo- ple, not as their master. I intend to remain here until I am called back by the man who sent me to you. You have”- Rasula’s jaw hung limp in the face of this amazing exhibition of courage on the part of the enemy. He was glaring insanely at the calm, trium- phant face of the man from Brodney’s. who was now advancing upon him with the assurance of a conqueror. “Make way there! Make way!” Mr. Bowles was crying, brandishing the antique broadsword that had comé down to Wyckholtne from the dark ages. “Stand aside for the British government! Make way for the Amer- lcan !" Hollingsworth Chase. Lord Dep- pingham and a familiar figure in an ill fitting red jacket and forage cap strode firmly, defiantly between the rows of humble Japatites. Close behind them came a tall, resolute grenadier of the Rapp-Thorberg army. Suddenly a party or white men ap- nrnacbed the singuegjggnla. A hun- ---. ----~ .- Cred eager hands were extended, a hundred voices cried out for mercy, a hundred Mo?ammedans beat their heads in abjet submission. All this time the omcers of the American warship were dividing their attention between land and sea. An- other vessel was coming up out of the misty horizon. The men on board knew it to be a British man-of-wari The native lawyer harangued them and cursed them and at last brought them to understand in a feeble way that no harm could come to them if they faced the situation boldly. The Americans would not land on British soil; it would precipitate war with England. They would not dare to at-' tempt a bombardment; Chase was a liar, a mountebank, a dog! After shout-1 lug himself hoarse in his frenzy of deâ€"' spair he finally succeeded in forcing the men to get up steam in the com-! pany’s tug.

In time two or three of the more canny, realizing that safety lay in an early peace offering. ventured out beside him. Others fol- lowed their example, and still others slunk trembling to the fore, their voices ready to protest innocence and friendship and loyalty. The islanders scattered like chafl be- fore the Wind, looking wild eyed over their shoulders in dread of the pursu- ing cannon ball. dodging In and out among the houses and olf into the foothills. The crash of the long unused six pounder at the chateau. followed al- most immediately by a great roar from one of the cruisor's guns. brought the panic to a crisis. “They will not fire! They dare not!” he was shrieking as be dashed back and forth along the dock. “It is chance! They do not come for Chase! Believe The plague was forgotten. The strategy that had driven off the ships or peace was lost in the face of this ugly creature of war. Rasula’s reign of strategy was ended. 111‘ me! The tug! The tug!

CoPVfilM. ”08. by but“. Mad 0 Co. BY GEORGE BARR M'OUTOHEON THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Deppinghams leaving London once more, but this time not on a voyage into the mysterioua south seas. They no longer were in- terested in the island of Japat. except as a reminiscence. nor were they con- cerned in the va ga ties of Tuwell T HE middle or June found the The estate was settledâ€"closed! Two months have passed sine. the Deppinghams departed from Input. “for 200d and all.” Manv event: have Hollingsworth Chase turned away at last. There were tears in his eyes, and there were tears in those of Mr. Bowles. “Bowles,” said he, “it's a beastly shame they didn’t think to say good- by to old man Skaggs. He’s in the same grave with us.” The launch slipped away from the pier. He and Bowles stood there, side by side, pale faced, but smiling. wav- ing their handkerchiefs. He felt that Genevra was still looking into his eyes even when the launch crept up under the walls of the distant ship. Slowly the great vessel got under way. The American cruiser was alâ€" ready low on the horizon. There was a single shot from the King’s Own, 9. reverberatlng farewell. “I’ll look you up in London,” he said to the Deppingbams. “Remember, the real trial is yet to come. Goodby, Browne. Goodby. all. You may come again another day." On the pier they said goodby to him. He was laughing as gayly and as blithely as if the world held no sor- rows in all its mighty grasp. “There is no hopeâ€"for her!” he said bitterly. “She was condemned too long ago.” Lady Depplngham came to him there a moment later. “I am sorry,” she said tenderly. “Is there no hope. '2” She looked steadily into his eyes for 11 long time. searching his soul for the hope that never dies. Then she gently withdrew her hands and stood sway from him. humbled in her own soul. “Yes,” she whispered. “Goodhy.” He straightened his shoulders and drew a deep breath through compress. ed nostrils. “Goodby! God bless you!" was all that he said. She left him standing there. The wall between them was too high, too impregnable, for even love to storm. He bowed his head. “May God give you all the happiness that i wish for you.” he said. “The end!” “I shall love you always.” she said simply, giving him her handâ€"“always, Hoilingsworth." Her eyes were wide and hopeless; her lips were white. The chateau was in a state of up- heaval. The exodus was beginning. The princess waited until the last mo- ment. She went to him. He was standing apart from the rest, coldly indifferent to the pangs he was sun’ero ing. The last day dawned. The sun smiled down upon them. The soft breeze of the sea whispered the curse of destiny into their ears. It crooned the song of heritage; it called her back to the fastnesses where love may not venture in. The Princess Genevra, the wistful light deepening hourly in her blue gray eyes, avoided being alone with the man whom she was leaving behind. She had made up her mind to accept the fate inevitable. He had reconciled himself to the ending of an impossible dream. There was nothing more to say except farewell. The King’s Own was to convey the liberated heirs to Aden, whither the cruiser was bound. At that port a P. and O. steamer would pick them up. One white man elected to stay on the island with Hollingsworth Chase, who steadfastly refused to desert his post until Sir John Brodncy indicated that his mission was completed. That one man was the wearer of the red jacket. the bearer of the king’s commission in Japat, the undannted Mr. Bowles. The warships remalned on the har- bor all that day. The British captaln consented to leave a small detachment of marines in the town to protect Chase and the bank. To a man the islanders pledged fealty to the cause of peace and justice. They shouted the names of Chase and Allah in the same breath and demanded of the latter that he preserve the former’s heard for all eternity. “Chase. you may be theatric. but you are the most dependable chap the world has ever known.” said Depping- ham, and he meant it. the same port. That is why I was so positive that help would come sooner or later. i knew that we’d need help, and I knew that if I brought the cruisers my ,power over these people would never be disturbed again." “My word!" exclaimed the admiring Bowles. Standing on the forward deck of the swift little tug. Chase unconcernedly accounted for the timely arrival of the two cruisers. “Three weeks ago i sent out letters by the mail stea mer. to be delivered to the English or American command- ers. wherever they might be found. Undoubtedly they were met with in The King’s Own came alongside the American vessel In less than an hour. Accompanied by the British agent. Mr. Bowles. Chase and Depptngham left the dock in the company’s tug and steamed out toward the two monsters. The American had made no move to send men ashore. “By order of her Cir." be said quietly. “Good God!” gasp “Take the body away. the end of all assassins!" “Good God!” gasped Chase. passing his band across his brow.

They were thinking of the man who stood on the dock at Amtnt when the King’s Own called “Nice way to talk of the groom," said the host genially. “I quite agree with you, however. I cannot “.r- stand the grand duke permittian to go on unless. of course, it's too late to interfere." “Poor dear! She'll never know what it is to be loved and cherished." laid the marchioness dolefnlly. “She’s entering upon a hell of 1-! mean a life of hell,” exploded the duke, banging the table with his not. “That fellow Brabetz is the rottenest thing in Europe. He's gone from bad to worse so swiftly that public opin- ion is still months behind him.” “He’s positively vile!" exclaimed the duchess, who would not mince words. “Other women have married prince- and got on very well, " said Prince Lichtenstein. “Oh. come now. prince.” put in Lord Deppingham; “you know the nort of chap Brabetz is. There are prince. and princes, by Jove." “And to think.” said the duchess. “she might have died happily on that miserable island. 1 am sure we did all we could to bring it about by steaming away from the place with the plague chasing us. Dear me, how diabolically those wretches lied to the marquis! They said that every one in the cha- teau was dead, Lady Deppingham, and buried. if I am not mistaken. It would be much better for poor Genevra it she were to be buried instead of mar- ried next week,” lamented the duel:- Mr. Britt afterward spent three weeks of incessant travel on the con- tinent and an additional seven days at sea. In Baden-Baden he happened upon Lord and Lady Deppingham. It will be recalled that in Japat they had always professed an unholy aver- sion for Mr. Britt. Is it cause for wonder. then. that they declined his invitation to dine in Baden-Baden? He even proposed to invite their entire party, which included a few dukes and duchesses who were leisurely on their way to attend the long talked of nup- tials in Thorberg at the end of June. In Vlenna the Deppinghams were joined by the Duchess of N.. the Marchloness of B. and other fash- lonables. In a week all of them would be in the castle at 'l‘horberg for the ceremony that now occupied the at- tention of soclal and royal Europe. “The mud duke In probably lam As for Bobby Browne. he was dero. tlon itself to Drusilla. They sailed for New York within three days after the settlement was effected. ignoring the enticements of a London season. The Brownes were rich. He could now be- come a fashionable specialist. They were worth nearly a million and a quarter in American dollars. They now had nothing in common with 'l‘ns- well Skaggs. Skaggs is not a pretty name. They had seen but little of each oth- er since landing in England. except as they were thrown together at the con- ferences. Lady Agnes went in for every diversion imaginable. For a wonder, she dragged Deppingham with her on all occasions. It was a most unexpected transformation. 'i‘lwir friends were puzzled. The rumor wont about town that she Gas in love with her husband. The grandchildren of the testators were ready to accept the best settle- ment that could be obtained. Theirs was a rather forlorn hope to begin with. When it was proposed that Agnes Depplngham and Robert Browne should accept £250,000 apiece in lieu of all claims. moral or legal. against the estate, they leaped at the chance.
