Extraordinary"
By E. Phillips Oppenheim
Baron : van Westrheene and mv
estates In Holland have been in my
family for eleven generations.
"Very well then." Matresser eon-
ceded. "Ton arrived there bearing
a name other than that bv which
you are generally known. Having
satisfied yourself, by either murder
ing or assisting at the murder of
the messenger, that I had made my
official report upon your conduct,
you then made a deliberate attempt
to kul me in my own woods and also
a young lady connected with a great
Austrian family. I escaped death at
your bands, Prince, by a miracle."
"You are in a position to deny
these statements, von Behriing?"
pressed Count Helm.
"I would UB any man." was the
harsh reply, "who stood between me
and my resumption of the great
work I commenced for my country."
Count Helm pointed towards the
door. -
"Ton are, as you have reminded
us, von Behriing, upon your own
lands and under your own roof and
I shall not ask the foresters to break
their allegiance of centuries even at
my command. I order you to go back
the way you came and not to re
appear. - - -
Voa Behriing hesitated. The man
was racked with emotions. His
cheeks were flushed even his fore
head was scarlet.
"If in this fit of madness, von
Behriing," the ether continued.
"you refuse to obey my commands, I
have here a personal escort, within
a minute's call, only to be used in
ease any emergency should arise.
Unless you obey my orders, they
will be summoned.. They will have
no hesitation whatever in arranging
for your Immediate expulsion. I
should lament such an indignity be
ing offered to one of the leading
noblemen of my country."
Von Behriing, with folded arms,
stood perfectly still for nearly a
minute; then he turned on his heel
and, escorted by bis two guards, left
the room. Voa Helm, whose eyes
had followed his every movement.
turned away with a frown.
"There goes, I fear, a still danger
ous man," he said.

Hellstern rose to his feet, Be
turned toward the President.
"Is it 'permitted that I say a

- "It is permitted," was the grave
response.
"Having : seen and beard ' the
Prince, I accept the report presented
to us by our eoDeaguvLord Matres

cept the peace offer and should give
all the required pledges to keep the
peace. . I, who am passing into the
shadows of the political world, offer
this recommendation to the powers

Helm nodded rraverv.
Our old Leader BeSstera, he
said, resuming bis eoaversational
manner and remaining seated, "will
be declared by history to have play

Wheat Goses on
Cain in Dull Day
CHICAGO, Feb. 14-(iip)-Wheat
prices closed with net fractional
gains today after a dull session.
Modest buying that developed
In the final hour was largely in
sympathy with a substantial ad
vance at Liverpool over the
weekend. There was no im
provement In market activity
here, however, with the resump
tion of trading after the double
holiday. Most dealings represent
ed small orders in connection
with wheat or flour sales.
Lagging export business and
absence of outstanding trade de
velopments domestically as well
as in the International market
discouraged the trade from tak
ing a definite stand in the pit.
Wheat closed higher
than Saturday, May 67 14-68,
July 67H-68.
from embarrassment, I nggest now
that General Besserley, Lord Mat
resser and Sir Esmond Coxtels
leave us for a time. We represen
ta tires of Germany, Austria, and'
Italy win go into executive session.
Will you give us an hour, arentle-
men? The billiard room and the
general lounge are at your disposi
tion, 1 beg that none of you three,
unless greatly fatigued, will retire
before we drink our final toast."
Matresser slipped away whOo
Besserley and Cartels benn a came
of billiards, threw his shooting cape
over his shoulders, a warm muffler .
round his neck, and opened the huge
front door. With her nose a few
inches from the threshold, the little
brown dog was lying flat. She leaped
to her feet with a bark of delight
when Matresser appeared and fol
lowed him to the low parapet. Mat
resser uowly fined bis pipe. He
found himself in the throes of an un
usual and acute depression.
Supposing this treat came of
king-making and. empire building
went on smoothly to the end, just
what might it mean for Elizabeth? ,
She would become the cousin of the .
ruler of Austria.' Would she ever
be likely to satisfy herself with the :
Hie of an English country squire?
It would be easy to prove to her that ,
he had not been the careless snort-
engrossed philanderer she had im
agined. Even then, however, a life
at Court would have so much to offer
her the biasing up of the old glor
ies, her beloved capital emerging
into its old splendors, the men of her
own type and rank all her eager
suitors. He felt bis hold upon her,
already so precariously established,
slipping away. ...
Matresser rose" to, his feet a little
chilled by the falling mists. The
brown dog -kept her nose within an
inch or two of bis legs. Arrived at
the entrance to the lodge, he paused
and then picked her up in his arms.
Her little body squirmed with de
light She tried her best to cover his
face with kisses. He made his way
to the great servants' -lounge where
a huge wood fire was burning and
the foresters were seated around a
table at one end of which was a
barrel of beer. With one accord
they rose to their feet at his en
trance. He waved them back.
"A word with you. Frits." ho
begged.: ..i-yv' -
The forester came forward. The
fittle dog settled herself more close
ly still in Matresser's arms.
"Frits, I want this dog he said.
The man hesitated, but only for
a moment.
"She is a favorite," he acknowl
edged, "but she belongs from now
on to the Gn&diffir flrr." -
"I shall accept your gift with
thanks," Matresser declared, hold
ing out bis hand. "I thank you.
Frits. How do yon eall her?"
. "Magda,";the man replied. '
- "Magda win be my constant com
panion, Matresser told : him, "and
I have an idea. Frits you must have
heard of the highly trained Labra
dors. What great retrievers they
are.' My people have bred them in
Norfolk for years. I shall send you
a youngster of Blue Peter's, broken
already a perfect dog for you. His
father is the finest retriever I ever
saw and the p up wiU be as good."
The man's eyes glistened.
"It win be a Joy. my noble sir."
ha exclaimed. "Magda shall have
her supper bow. Afterwards she will
lie outside your door. It Is evident
that she has a great love for yon." '
He produced a tonrl and whistled
Magda to her corner. When she had
finished, she walked with Matresser
to the shooting lodge, When be re
entered the house she was at his
heels. He carried her upstairs to his
room and pushed back her ears and
the hair from her eyes, -;
"At least.", he murmured half to
hiniself. "you win. bo a wonderful
assurance against loneliness." ; -
