They might call the stats, the kingdom, that he founded, a 'rob- ber-repnbllo' of which he was the wont and wickedest robber, but the fact remains, they had first to make war npon him, and then, having tailed to defeat him, they sent a mission to negotiate with him. "What became of him? Nobody knows, or rather, as I said, no Eu ropean knows. But one thing la cer tain, neither he, nor any man of his battery was ever seen by a white man again. . Think ot It, Mademoiselle . . And while he, too, thought of It, Major Rlccoll, with apparent ab sence ot mind, put his right arm about Margaret waist and then, with obvious preseac ot mind, put his left hand beneath her chin, tipped up her face and drew her elosr'y to him. ' With equal presence ot mind, Mar garet wriggled tree. "Madame Mallgnl," he said re proachfully, "Margaret, I have fallen In love with you. I love you. My , first love and love at first sight. Oo you love me?" "Not yet. Major Rlccoll." "Margaret, could you lore met' "1 don't know. Major Rlccoll." "Ah, but you do not know. Tou eall me Major Rlccoll, but that I shall not be for long. Do you know jny other name;" .. "I'm afraid not. Major Rlccoll." "Napoleon." "How terribly Interesting." "Tea, It Is, as you say. Interest ing, and as you say, It shall be ter rible. Not for nothing am 1 a Napo leon, a Corsican, a aoldler. My name sake and prototype made a humble colonial wench an empress; the ob scure gentleman of Bordeaux whom Ton mentioned tonight, made a not ryi daughter a queen; Voulet, a mere captain, would hare made Tamarne an Empress, bad he lived; doubtless Vauroi has raised some dusky desert-girl to be as a second queen of Sheba." Again the eloquent speaker placed his arm about Margaret's waist. "Margot," he whispered, "would you be a queen r . - "I don't think so. Major Rlccoll." 'Margott There was a Queen Margot, as you know. Will yon be my queen?" "I'm afraid I'm not eligible, Ma jor Rlccoll." Bllglblet Ton? Margaret, Tou? "I, I fancy, am worthy of you. And you are worthy of me. Bo beautiful, so witty, so charming, so clever for you are a clever woman as well as a lovely one why, you and I, Margret, are a pair. Nay. we are one. Boon I shall be Rlccoll the Great. Tou are Margaret the Beautiful. Be my queen." Margaret rose to her feat, turned round once and sat down again, tree from the urgent, encircling arm. "But however beautiful I may be, nd however great you are. Major Rlccoll," ahe protested, "I really am not eligible. I think you met my - husband at dinner." "Husbands? Pahl What are hus bands?" "Well r " began Margaret "Husbands are rather , . ," "To the devil with husbands. The nan 1 saw at dinner may be a per fectly good Monsieur Mallgnl, and your husband, but I am Major Na poleon Rlccoll, and your lover." Margaret coughed slightly. "That, and more, far more." And Major Rlccoll spoke ot generals, field-marshals, conquerors, dictators, and of successful men who would be kings. "Husbands," he concluded, "what re they to me and to you?" Margaret thought ot what her hus band was to her. "Husbands? Had not Napoleon's Josephine a husband? And did tbat trouble Napoleon? Would It trouble me?" "It might trouble you. Major Rlc coll I don't know, but It might." Major Rlccoll laughed and flicked an imaginary husband Into the air. Looking up as he did so, he dis covered that a very large man, Arab STATE FAIR PLANS L! SALEM, M&rcn 33 (AP) Despite the fact that no money was appro priated this year by the state legis lature for fair premiums. Max Ghl jber, agricultural director, said today THIS RED TAPE SIMPLIFIES THINGS! Valiant Dust Jutkcf at by Percival Christopher Wren tiMiassttr or Moor, was standing before him, a man whose face was hidden in the shadow of his hood but whose voice seemed familiar when he begged permission to Interrupt him, and to announce that bis Excellency the Kald would speak with his guest upon matters of the utmost impor tance. "Pest!" said Major RlceolL And, "Good sight. Major Rlccoll," said Margaret, As the dapper Major Rlccoll. on his way to the hall of audience, de scended the steps that led down from Margaret's walk, to the for mal, artificial and somewhat pa thetlo garden, sacred to the use of the household, the big "Moor" turned to Margaret, threw back his hood, and smiled his friendly beam of greeting. "Well, Mademoiselle?" he said in French. "This Is a good spot for a quiet talk. We shan't be disturbed or seen here. Clever Mademoiselle." "Not Frauleln, or Frau, Herr Scblacht?" answered Margaret, de sirous of discovering. If she could, why this man whom she instinctive ly trusted, talked sometimes in Ger man, sometimes broken German English, sometimes German-French, sometimes perfect French, and sometimes excellent English. "No, Mrs. Mallgnl. No more Frau leln, nor Fran. And no more Herr Scblacht between us. We're friends, and we're going to be partners, and we'll talk In English. We're going to. help each other. Now, yon tell me exactly what Rlccoll said to you and then I am going to tell you the truth about myself. Cards on the table, eh?" "lea," agreed Margaret "Major Rlccoll said nothing about respect ing confidences, or Indeed tbat he was being confidential. In fact he rather gave me the impression that he'd said it all before, and perhaps many times." 'Herr Scblacht laughed. "Clever glrL He has said some of It before, we may be quite sure. Did he rise to the bait of the man who made himself a king?" "Tou should hare heard hlml And he was equally eloquent on the subject of a Captain Vauroi." "Ohol This Is really helpful, Mar garet May I call you that?" . "Of course," "Really helpful. Interesting and valuable. Tell me all about It" "I'll do my best to remember every word," replied Margaret aud did so. "Oh, splendid!" commented 'Herr Schlachf when she had finished her story. "I think that quite settles It Now I really do know where 1 am." "And where are yon?" asked Mar garet "Just exactly where I thought I was," smiled 'Herr Bchlacht' "And now I'll tell you something In re turn. And something that 1 hope will help you as much as you've helped me." "God knows I want help," said Margaret "Someone to whom I can turn, and whom I can trust" The man put his big hand over hers. v You can trust me," he said, "as I trust you. Listen. I am a French officer, Colonel Le Sage, secret service, in fact; and I'm here on a very special Job, I'm telling you this because I know that wild horses wouldn't drag It out ot you, and because I want to win your complete trust by giving yon mine. I have lived In England, and I know your type, Margaret both Intuitively and trom observation. As I have said, I want your help. And as I have promised, you can count on mine absolutely. The position's this. "The Kald, liko his father, has been a nuisance, an embarrassment and a danger, to France, ever since she began to extend her sphere of Influence and olvllltatlon In this di rection. Like his father, he has been a thorn In the side ot the military authorities, a constant menace, and an ever-present cloud on their horl son. And now It's going to end. It's going to end because he has become an anachronism; because he pre sume to hinder France's great work in Africa; bocause be Is trying to bring Germany and Italy Into this part ot the world, and turn the march of progrosa Into a dot-fight; and be cause his son bids fair to bs a far bigger, and tar more dangerous, enemy.
