HERR 8CHLACHT8 PROPOSAL
FTO7HAT? How do you know that
" ba . . . r
"Ah!"
And Herr Schl&cbt wagged a
tout forefinger at Margaret. "You
appeal to your husband for help
then?"
"How do you know he ... t"
"Ah I ... I watch our friend Rat
sul like mouse watches cat; I see
his llddle game to make the young
Herr rer" drunk, and when rapa
Mallgnl say,
"1 am' llddle tlpslsb, but this
naughty boy rer tipsy, help me put
him In my room so as not to shock
nlze llddle Angllsch wife,' I say,
"Ja, in. Ver" foot, and then I
come back and watch Ralsul. And
my serrant; who looks like rer1 stu
pid Moor and Is ver" olever Arab,
watch too. Bo I know."
Margaret felt a strong Inclination
to sit down.
"I fink you rer brave girl, and t
admire, respectfully much. Ver
brave, rer clerer. Look see, I am
not what you call lu your peautlful
language dam-flirt. Isn't It? Lady-
kisser ... no, lady-killer, Isn't It? I
hat dearly-beloved wife whom I
dearly belove, God bless, waiting
for me at my home. So I only ad
mire most respectful, and wish
to help. And you help me. You tell
mo all flags you know, and I be
your friend. No? Isn't It?"
"What sort of things?"
"Joost anyt'lng that habbens in
this Castle; anyt'lng you hear that
the Kaid is going to do, or anyt'lng
you hear Pedro Mallgnl is going to
do, or the good Rklsul."
"They are hardly likely to consult
me, or Inform me beforehand, are
they?" .
"No, no. But they may consult the
young Herr Jules, your husband,
or Inform him beforehand, and bo
might tell you."
"Do you think It likely I should
repeat to you anything that my hus
band told ma of other people's af
fairs?" "Yes; it It were mora better so
for your husband and for you. and
If, In return for what you have told
me, I have told you t'lngs useful;
perhaps to save yourself, perhaps
to save the life of the young Herr
Jules,
"And pray how should his life be
In danger?"
"Everyone's life here Is In dan
ger. The Kald and Ralsul from the
French and Spaniards, whom they
will defy and fight; Herr Pedro and
Herr Jules from Ralsul and the
Lady Zalnub, If they offend espe
cially Herr Jules, It the Lady Zal
nub t'tnk parhabs he kill Ralsul or
the Kald himself.
"My life la In danger, If all I
promise does not habben, or It other
Government send other emissary,
' and ha t'lnk 1 am In the way; or
perhaba Moorish officers get Jealous
If Kald put me over them, and listen
to ne In council.
"Even ladles' llfes In danger;
Lady El Iss Beth el Aln, It Zalnub
got Jealous about all Mallgnl fami
ly; Lady Zalnub herself. If Kald say,
" 'Time I get new wife, this pat
tern old-fashioned. Sara latost
model.'
"Sara's life In danger, it Lady
Kalnub say.
"'I must keep her a good girl;
the only good girls are dead girls.' "
In spite of herself, Margaret
mlled, and against reason and cir
cumstance, she Instinctively and In
tuitively liked and trusted this
mating person, whose knowledge
was phenomenal, uncanny, and
whose observations woreaa disturb
ing as they were convincing.
"And I t'lnk," continued Herr
Echlach. "that, apart from wicked
ness of Ralsul, the Ufa of yourself
may be in danger."
"Ob, what nonsensel" expostu
lated Margaret, "I never heard such
a lot of absurd rubbish and . . ."
"Look you, my dear young lady,
you are not now In London, or green
peaceful English country. You are
In place uncivilized, and among peo
ple barbarous, where might la right,
und there la no law hut will and
desire. Joost that much law. And
11 man's motto la 'What man
dares, ha may da
"So I t'lnk, I tear, you yourseir
lite Is In danger, from Jealousy."
"And who on earth should be
Jealous of me?" asked Margaret.
You are a Dismal Jimmy, Herr
Schlacht"
"No. Never am I a Jimmy Dismal,
Frfiuleln. Always I laugh, out loud
or In myself. I am Joost foony fat
German. And laugh behind what
you call in your peautlful language,
'poker-face.' But I do not laugh
when I fink your life In danger from
Jealousy. Jealousy of girl Sara."
"What?"
"Jealous; of girl Sara who par
habs much lot Herr Jules. Jealousy
of Lady El Isa Beth el Aln who do
not like Angllsch girl coming here
and perhabs taking her Jules back
again to England. Jealousy of Lady
Zalnub ..."
"Now that la absurd, It all the
rest wasn't."
"Jealousy of Lady Zalnub," re
peated Herr Schlacht lmperturba
biy, "who la ver Jealous ot Influence
ot Herr Pedro over the Kald, and
perhaps ver" Jealous ot Influence of
Herr Jules over Ralsul. And perhabs
ver Jealous It she sees Ralsul going
In lot with peautlful Engllscb girl."
Margaret forced a laugh.
"So, look you, my dear young
lady, do you not fink that It will be
goot to have a friend a friend who
can warn and help an ally who
never would be drunk wben most
need wu for help, and . . ."
"Don't talk to ma like that,
please," Interrupted Margaret, with
asperity, and coloring hotly. "It was
the first time that my husband ever
. . . Mind your own business, please.
I don't believe that my husband waa
. . . I believe that cur Ralsul put
some beastly filthy drug In his cof
fee, or wine, or ..."
"The first time?" roplied Herr
Schlacht, with ralaed eyebrows.
"And suppose Ralsul did do this?
What about the next time and the
next?"
The color drained away from
Margaret's face as she reallzod that
the events ot last night whatever
their cause might happen any
night, every night
Suppose they occurred again and
again. Suppose anything happened
to Jules and she were alone In
this terrible place,
"Look you, young lady," contin
ued Kerr Schlacht "What are the
peautlful t'lngs ot life? Love, health,
peace, friendship. 1 would put
friendship among the best peautlful
t'lngs ot life. Let you yourself and
1 myself be friends, and help each
other. As I tell you already, never
will I offend or ba prasumlsh and
famllla., like klss-llzard and dirt
hound and lounge-pig, because I am
trustable shentleman, and lot my
wife too. All I want Is to help, and
be your true friend.
"And," added Herr Schlacht "tor
you to help and be my true friend."
"Of course 1 should like a helpful
friend," said Margaret, "but I'm cer
tainly not going to repeat to you
anything that my husband tells ma
In confidence, nor am I going to re
peat other people'! conversation.
I'm not spy."
"No. you are not a spy," agreed
Herr Schlacht "but women hava
done some wonderful or what
shall I call It some wonderful so
oret service work. It Is ver' fine serv
ice, rer Interesting. Fine, interest
ing work for brave clever girl: what
you call romantic, thrilling, full ot
adventure and experience."
'It one were working tor one'a
own country, In time of war,"
agreed Margaret "In the official se
cret service. Not as a spy, though."
"Some girls have done wonderful
work tor their country, as spies,"
observed Herr Schlacht "As valua
ble as the work ot great generals.
"But your country Is not much In
terested here now," he continued.
"since it made agreement with
France that England would leave
Morocco alone. If France left Egypt
alone ... So you oould not do any
t'lng tor your own country here."
"I shall have enough to do to look
after myselt here, apparently," aald
Margaret
"But you might for another coun
try." Herr 8chlacht said. "That
country might be ver glad to have
you in Its secret service, and ba
glad to offer you rewards and hon
ors. It you served It well."
"What country?" asked Margaret
"My country," was the reply.
"The country whom I serve here."
"What exactly are you doing
here?" asked Margaret "Since we
are being so personal," she added.
