"I haven't een many Jokes late

, . "Out ot a welter ot treachery, the
(treachery of the Kald and Ralaul to
IBIccoll, and ot him to them; the
treachery ot the Mallgnls to the
" Kald. and the treachery of Rlccoll
to France, cornea the downfall of
ithe lot ot them, and the removal
lot the obstacle to France'a civiliz
ing march. .
. "From their efforts at war, comes
peace final peace, In this desert
that shall blossom like a rose.'
"The treachery of the Mallgnls!
Why, what do" asked Margaret.
"Yes, my dear, black base treaoh
lary. Shall I tell you?"
"Tell me everything, please. The
more 1 know, the more I can per
haps help, and the freer I shall
be to do so."
"Well, the organization of which
II am the head, In this part of the
: world, discovered that the Kald
waa dallying with Germany. Or
put It the other way about. It yon
'like. Anyhow, there were over
tores, proposals and an understand
tag.
"It was arranged that one of
Germany's best men should come
and see the Kald, come to a definite
agreement make a treaty with
him, in fact
"The Kald wa: to get money, men
and munitions, on the understand
ing that he used the men and muni
tions, and at any rate part of the
money, to make war any old war
that should 'trouble the waters, and
especially war that would make
blm Sultan of Morocco, worry and
embarrass France, and generally,
as 1 said trouble the waters.'
"Then of course, Germany was
going to fish In the troubled waters
Ssh for vast mineral concessions,
among other things, as soon as
the Kald was Sultan of Morocco, or
Indeed, as soon as he was strong,
and France and Spain were weak,
In Morocco.
"And so Germany was sending
this good man, one of their beat,
a real stormy petrel, with the high'
est courage, the greatest ability
and the widest experience. Secret
service, of course, with no overt
backing, countenance, or support
from home. If he sucoecded, so
much the better tor Germany and
himself. It he failed and were
caught that was that and the end
ot 'Herr Schlacht known to his
brother officers as Carl Ton Mlt
tengen. "Well, as soon as we knew all
this. It became my business to put
a spoke In bis wheel and I con
ceived the bright Idea ot doing not
only that but being the new wheel
myself, If you Understand me. One
line day It would be a case of 'Herr
Scblaoht Is dead, long live Kerr
Schlachtl'
."I got In touch very gentle touch,
Just like velvet with the SoBor Pe
dro Mallgnl- who was acting for the
Kald li Tangier and In short the
SeSor Pedro Mallgnl sold the Ksld
and the German agent and the
whole German connection, to me.
He also agreed with me that the
Kald had had his day, and that
It was time for so wise a man as
Beflor Pedro Mallgnl to put bis
money on another horse rat from
the sinking ship.
"For I was able to prove to him
that France was going to sink the
hip."
"Did my husband know anything
of this?" Interrupted Margaret
"Yon want the truth, my dear?"
"Of course, the absolute truth."
"He was present at my final In
terview with his father, Jules Ma
llgnt was Introduced to me by Pedro
Mallgnl as his partner and agent
He was witness to our agreement
and be helped me In my plans for
intercepting poor von Mlttongen.
"He knows, then," said Margaret,
"that you are a French officer, and
in the French secret service? He
knows you are not Herr Schlachtl"
"He knows I am a Trench agent"
replied Colonel Le Sage. "He knows
that Herr Schlacht Is dead and

burled. It was be who wss able
to procure for me a mounted Ger
man photograph from the mount
of which 1 was able to remove the
photograph and substitute my own
above the name and address ot the
German photographer."
"What happened to the real Herr
Schlacht, I mean?" asked Mar
garet "I killed him."
Margaret Involuntarily drew
away.
Oh, I didn't murder him In cold
blood, my dear. Curiously enough,
I killed blm In self-defence. As my
little caravan approached his camp
one evening, beside a water-hole In
the Oued el Draa, he simply turned
his men out and opened Are on us.
"Filthy treschery," exclaimed Mar
flaret. -
I don't know whether he took us
for Touareg from the Tanezrutt or
whether he bad his suspicions of
the Sefior Pedro Mallgnl. I know
I had my suspicions ot Mallgnl as
soon as von Mlttengon opened Ore
on us at sight and wondered
whether he were double double
crossing, and had warned von Mlt
tongen to look out tor me.
"Anyhow, It was, as I say, a case
of self-defence for we'd got to
get to the water though I don't
say I wasn't glad of the excuse, to
go for blm. So 'Herr Schlacht' died
that day and rose again that night
In the porson ot myself.
"And when I reached Mekazzen,
the Mallgnls wore there all ready
to vouch for me pass-word, pho
tograph, and all."
"Filthy treachery," exclaimed
Margaret In deep disgust and In'
dlgnatlon.
"Yes, pretty bad. It might be ar
gued, ot course," continued Colonel
Le Sage, "that I'm as bad as they
are; the rocelvor as bad as the
thief."
"Oh, no," expostulated Margaret
"You are working for France, work
ing for good not for your own per
sonal profit not making money by
betraying the person who employs
you, and trusts you."
Colonel Le Sage raised his huge
hand and patted Margaret's shoul
