"There are better death than that, asd no need (or death at all." There are worse thing than death," replied Margaret, and telt that the remark aonnaea amy ana melodramatic "I mean, I think I'd state ot tear." "Raleuir asked Herr Sehlacht "Tee. And the place. It U get Una; on my nerves, everything, ev ery body. I cannot sleep now. Oh, I . . . Whom can I trust?" "Mineself," replied Herr Sehlacht quickly. "Me. Ton can trust me, as your own Herr Papa." . "Well for a start can you give me a plstolT It would make all the difference, I think. I should be mortally afraid of the thing but It would drive out a worse fear." "Br yes, perhaps. Perhaps, ye. And a harem-woman's cover-all with eye-holes a complete disguise, so that you can visit me or run to me lor safety. Yes. But It I do this tor you, and part with my precious pistol upon which my life also may depend will you do likewise some thing tor me?" "Anything," replied Margaret. "Goot! Now listen. Will you watch where I tell you to watch. and report to me what you see" "Yes," replied Margaret. "It is goot. And will you tell me anything yon hear, anything you hear about what Is going to happen? Gossip, Information volunteered by your husband; anything Ralsul may tU yon; any interesting remarks. Statements, speculation made by the Lady HI Isa Beth el Aln? Ev . arythlng; anything. I can sift the Information, true from false, my self. Will yon do that!" "Tee," replied Margaret "Yes except in th ease of confidences. I nean If my husband, for example, laid, 'Promise not to tell anyone It I tell you something and then told me of..." "But you need not agree,". inter fnpted Herr Sehlacht, "You need ot glf der promise." "True," agreed Margaret, "I will refuse." "Sol It Is goot. Now something other. A little thing but Impor tant. I do not ask you to play de coy. Not to be what you call the vamp, Isn't It? You are not of such a kind , . . But I do ask this. And I will glf you the pistol when you haf promise. i "Now listen. A military mission tomes here soon. Very soon. A French officer and escort of Euro pean soldiers. I know the officer and I want you to know him. Your husband shall arrange. I want you to talk to this man. He will be very friendly; and soon he will talk och. Encourage him ... "Encourage him to what?" asked Margaret. "To talk. And .then tell me What a saya; th sort of things he talk about; any suggestions or proposals bs makes to you." "Suggestions? . Proposals? Why should this officer . . .?" "Because he Is of that sort He will make love to yon." ; Margaret sprang to her feet "Good Heavens above nsl What on earth do you mean?" "No, no, Frauleln. Listen. All will be well. It la a goot thing tor you goot In every way that he come. It will lead to your free dom, your escape from here, your return to England. See, you have no one else to trust. Trust In me absolutely." "All right I will trust you and obey you. But give me the pistol, now, at once as a proof and a token." "So. It la here,"- and Herr Bchlaoht produced a small auto matic pistol and handed It to Mar garet "Can you nse it?" he asked. "No." "Later I will unload It and show you. It Ores six times, quick. Or Just once only. If you wish, There you are now trust me and listen. "When this officer Is Introduced to you, and you alt on a seat In der garden and make conversation, ask GRAIN TRADE REIN TAKEN OFF IN PIT OHTOAOO. Mar. ltr-HP)FnA H Glutton, secretary of the board ot trade, announced In the pit that re striction tn price fluctuations of VmGLEYS mm'L Christopher Wren ttM oesttr J him If ever he baa heard of Anrellie de Tounens. Learn der name by heart and do not forget It Intro duce it as naturally as you can. Bay that yon haf recently been hearing about blm (which is true) It this officer, his name Is Rlccoll Major Napoleon Rlccoll ask why yon mention him. Or say you have been reading about Aurellle de Tounens and that you heard that Major Rlccoll eomes from Bordeaux, which was the home ot Aurellle da Tounens. Rlccoll does not come from Bordeaux, but It doe not mat ter." "Well I'd better know some thing about this Aurellle de Tou nens. if I am supposed to have been reading or hearing abont him, hadn't IT" asked Margaret "Yes but Rlccoll will do the talking about him, I fancy. The name will be enough, I think. It will set him going and yon will hear wonderful things and you must tell me what he says. If the nam 1 not as a spark ot gunpowder, I am wrong In my thinks. "Aurellle de Tounens. "Who was he? He was a private gentleman, a worthy, if obscure oit lten ot Bordeaux, wbo Is 1876 made himself a king In South America. A proper real king, 187S model, with whiskers, and with a capital, a court a palace, an army, an' all der rest ot It He really was King Aurello I ot Arauco, South Ameri ca, and he had his own royal stand ard and a national flag of Arauco. He had a royal mint and struck bis own coinage, and he Issued hi own stamps. "But Major Rlccoll can, I expect tell you far more about him than I can, and that is what I want yon to And out All yon haf to do Is to remember the name, mention it to him, and see what happens." "What is likely to happen?" asked the bewildered, frlgatened and unhappy Margaret "You may hear tbat Aurellle de Tounens was mad and a megalo maniac, and that was why he failed. You may then hear that another and inflnltely greater kingdom is about to be created and at a spot not far from where we are sitting. And another thing that may happen Is tbat you will receive the offer ot a crown the chance to become queen consort of the new kingdom." Margaret contrived to laugh. "Is tb man mad?" she asked. Herr Sehlacht patted her hand. and continued.' "I do not promise these great things," be smiled. "I only think perbabs this happen. Do not be disappointed if . . ." "Oh. no," replied Margaret "I shall be getting blase soon. This will be the second ..." "Ralsul, eh?" "Yes. I shall have to tell this gentleman what I told Ralsul that I already have one husband," "That would not trouble the good Ralsul. Nor the good Rlccoll. To these great men obstacles exist but to be removed." "Is the man mad?" asked Mar garet again. , "That is exactly what we want to be certain about" replied Herr Sehlacht "Whether he la really mad or ambitious to the nolflt ot mania. So talk to him ot Aurellle de Tounens and of power and con quest and love and form your own opinion. And tell me. Will you?" "Year But I won't betray confi dences and cheat and He ... 1 hate trickery and ..." "Jal Jal Ot course, I know. You only make him talk and then tell me If he Is going to be a king. Hal ' Hal The Man Who Would Be King! "Now let me show you how to use the pistol First we take out this charger, bolder, magatlne-ollp, Is it? from the handle, and then the ugly leetle thing will not go bang. I never did like Ore-Irons nasty dangerous things, isn't it?" In a few minutes Margaret was able without much trepidation to load and unload the automatic, and having unloaded it to hold It still and steady while she sighted it and pulled the trigger. "Now unload and suddenly I will Jump up and aprlng towards you and you shoot m. "ValT" gootl That would hava cooked my bacon as you say. "Also it would have cooked tb bacon for Ralsul, eh? ... if he came. Yea. I think you pluck hi goose If he try tricks. "Ja that Ralsul I ... you kill him if he attaok you." (CWjrfl, mi, f. 4.
