ANOTHER CROWN
"I'HINK of It, Mademoiselle. That
- aione snows wnat a man vauroi
was and to what power he rose.
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

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
