Alan.
Shirley -was watching Ahranro
xrl'M men. Most of them spoke
French enough to follow the pa
larer, and there was no doubt that
they were afraid of Stephanos.
They shrank as from" a blow at
Alan's words of defiance.-
"Monsieur Is insolent because
he believes these men will attack

with bis right arm and wis pres

the. left hand he held a long dag

just see Alan's face and she for
got the bandit, forgot her own
predicament in "wonder at what
she saw in "his eyes.
"Don't do anything, Alan!" she
whispered in .English, la. terror
lest he should throw himself up
on, the bandit's knife.
"Madam pleases me. Mon

camp to discuss the matter of
your ransom, Madame shall be
part of the price."
Stephanos released her.
She staggered back a couple of
pices. Alan was standing, every
muscle taut, his eye on Stephanos
who held the dagger within a few
Inches of his chest.
"Go and taad by the door f
the aback, Shirley," commanded
Alan 1st French. "Dent go in. You
can watch me punish this, cut
throat." Breathlessly, Shirley obeyed,
then watched, fascinated beyond
her control. For some ten sec
onds neither man had moved.
Then Alan's fist crashed Into the
bandit's face and he (ell to the
ground, bleeding.
In an tnstaat he was on his feet.

"Look .at this, you fellows!"
cried Alan, and slowly turned a
complete circle. "Look at Ste

it." A twist of the wrist and the
knife fell to the ground. Stephan

"Oh," gasped Shirley, the tears
streaming down her face. "Oh,
how gorgeous!"
'For a moment she could see
nothing, and when she looked
agatn Alan -was bending over his
foe, the knife in his hand.
"Get up. Stephanos!" he ord

roared Alan, and kicked him vio
lently in the side. "Get up!"
