PA'GE FOTJH MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFQRD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1933. Valiant Dust by Percival Christopher Wren "SEAu'cESrr smOPBlB: Kabul, ton the powerful Raid of Mekaenen, torcee unwelcome attention on ktargaret ifallonl. wife ot one at the Scld'e agent. iiargaret find no evmpathv in all the great citadel ot ktekaeeen excepting that ot Berr Bchlaeht, apparently a eecret agent ot 0r many. The night before, when Raieut forced hie way into her room, Margarefe hatband Julee either had been drunk or drugged and in no condition to help, tioia Uargaret telle him ot Raisvl't visit. Chapttw II FOUND WANTINa JULES MALIONI struck an atU tude, and "registered" bock. "I'll kill him. . . . I'll shoot Urn. I'll break bis neck. . . ." "Hugh; don't be silly. It's you dho are exaggerating now," Insist ed Margaret "Perhaps be'd had more wine than was good for him. too. Listen, Jules . . ." and Margaret laid a hand upon ber husband's dramatically outstretched arm. "I'm not making a complaint against RalsuL I mean I'm not bring ing an accusation against him and skint yon to punish him. I don't iwant rnngeance, or any nonsense of that sort. I simply can't and won't its left alone, while we are here. I don't want you to quarrel with jRalsul, but I do want yon to grasp Ithe situation, and understand It "without exaggerating It" : "The scoundrel! I'll kill him," re peated Jules, clenching his fists and cowling ferociously. "I'll break very bone In his body." i Did It ring Quito true? ' Margaret searched her husband's face In poignant anxiety. Certainly his las, '.veat had been pttered with lees Tlolence and .vigor. But no, why should she think such a thing? Doubtless he had realized, eren while he spoke, that his hands were tied by her rery presence there in Uekazzen, and that he could not treat Ralsul as he longed to do, or give him the thrashing' that he Should certainly have given him, had )hey not been In his power. Ot courss Jules was thinking of ber safety rather than ot his desire lor vengeance. That was why one got the Impres sion that he did not quite mean what he said, and that be was play ing a part Eren In the midst ot his righteous indignation, he had re membered that for his wife's sake, e dared not punish Ralatu. You'd like to, I know." "Like to!" cried Jules. "I mean, yon are jurnlug to horse whip him, Jules; but your bands are tied while we are In the Mekas ten country. We are absolutely In bis power. So don't talk about pun ishing him don't even think about It" "Perhaps you are right" acQul ssced Jules. "Of course yon're right we are in Us power." "Don't think about punishing blm," repeated Margaret "Think about getting away, and about pre renting anything of the sort happen ing again. Ton mustn't give him the phanoe of drugging you again, and foa mustn't leave me alone, Jules." "I don't see how I can prevent pus ... began Jules. ; "But ot course yon can," Inter rupted Margaret "It you dont sit drinking with him, or eat with him m bis own apartments." "And I'm afraid you'll have to be Mt alone sometimes, my dear. Be reasonable. I can't be inside the pas Us always." ' ' "It's night-time I'm thinking wout more." f "I may have I certainly shall pave to re away for dys at a tlme, perhaps woeks at t, time, be fore very long.' "Jules!" "Margaret!" mocked Jules. Look here, Jules, If you've really rot to go out of this plant before we can leave it for good, I'm com ing with yw. I'm quite as strong as yon are." "Ton aref Then yon esu manage Ralsul all right I should think, without all this fuss." "What I meant was, I have as much endurance as you, and can ride as far, and rough it as well. Did I make any complaint on the journey dowi beret And we roughed It pretty well then." "That was different We were traveling at leisure then like tour istswith a young caravan, and In reasonable safety. This would be different without the Raid's pro tection and an escort and guides. TVs should be in enemy country, among all sorts ot trouble; raiders, robbers, hostile tribesmen, Bedoul, Tcuarog. It yon tell Into the hands ot some ot those birds, you'd wist fifty Ralsuls had got yon." "If yon leave this castle, Jules, Fm coming with you unless Ralsul goes with you, that is."- "p'you suppose Ralsul'j going where I tell hlmt" "No, I suppose yon're going where Ralsul tells yon to go. It he goes on some expedition and yon go with blm, I don't nlad staying here, provided a definite date Is fixed for our return to hlngland and that It Is the earliest possible date. "But one thing is absolutely cer tain I don't stay another night alone in this room, it Ralsul la in the castle. Ton wouldn't ask me to, would you, Jules?" "Ob, Lord, don't make all the At las mountains out ot a mole-bill. Ralsul won't do it again. And any how, yon can bolt your door, in the future, it I'm not here." "But yon're going to be here, Jules It I am. I can't sit here night and day with the door locked." Jules gave a snort of impatience. Look, dear," nrged Margaret "suppose you went away from the castle, and Ralsul suddenly came upon me somewhere, in the day time." "Oh, try your pistol trick on him again," snapped Jules Irritably. "What! What did you say?" Jules looked confused. Confused, guilty and angry. "Bow did you know that t pre tended to have a pistol? How did yon know that Ralsul . . . ? Oh, Jules. . , . Tou knewl Ton knew about Ralsul all the timet Tou were acting. Ton knew when you came into this room. Ton weren't really indignant at all, and you hadn't the faintest intention of pun ishing RalsuL "Of course, your mother told yon. She. . . ." "Don't yon say anything against my mother," blustered Jules loudly. "She's one ot those women who help their men-folk, not hinder them." "And am I hindering you. my gen tle Jules," asked Margaret her voice low, bitter, and cutting, "by mentioning that your ooualn so be haved to ma last night bare in my bedroom, that I had to threaten to shoot him? Will you Just tell me In plain English what you'd like me to do next time? I should be sorry to do anything that hindered youl Does your mother . . .?" "Will yon leave my mother alone? She didn't ..." "Ahl Perhaps she did not tell you. Perhaps" Ralsul himself boasted, or confided, to you, that while you were drugged or drunk . . ." "Hold your tongue! How dare yon Insinuate things like that against a gentleman . , . against your hus band? Drunk Indeed!" "My husband) That honorable, truthful, reliable gentleman, my husband. Do you consider my sug gestionthat you were drunk as being on a par with my suggestion that Ralsul himself told you that he had come to your wife's room in the middle ot the night and . . ." "Look here, my girl, just now yon said you knew that I'd beea drugged. I thanked you for your kindness and said It was a virtue. I further re marked that virtue got Its reward, and your reward was that I exer cised equal kindness in judging you." "Judging me? What are yon talk ing about? Do you know, I think I must be going silly here." 'Going'?" "Clone, then. Gone quite mad. What d'yon mean, 'Judging me'?" "What I say. Ton heard I was blind drunk, and very charitably and very rightly, concluded I'd been drugged.1! "Tea.'' "Well, I heard that you'd bad Ralsul up here while I was er In sensible. . . ." "What?" Margaret flinched, palod, and blindly extended a band, for support "I say that, like yon, I was char itable. When I heard that Ralsul hsd been up here, I said: " 'What about it? Harmless flirta tion. We all know young Ralsul. I trust my wife.' ... As I said before, we were both kind, both charitable." Margaret feeling as though her knees would give way, sat down rather heavily, and with some snd dennoss, upon her bed. The cold tide ot fear was rising again, so fast so high, that she felt she must drown. She was going to faint No, that she would not do. Die she might and willingly but she would not faint KeftritU, t'lt. r. J, Sletei Ce.) Marsaret delivers an ultimatum tomorrow, to Jules. BULL ELK COMING PORTLAND, March M.
