PXGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRTBTTOE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRID1T, MARCH 24, 1933. syHOPniB: At s final blow, Margaret Uallonl teams that Jutes, her husband, not only has lotted to protect her, but has bstrayed hie employer, the Kali ol Uekassen. The Raid plan a campaign against France, with the treacherous aid of Major Vanoleon Ktccoll of the foreign Legion and Motor Rlceoll plans to kntle the Said later. Colo nel he Bage of the French Secret Servioe Is Margaret's only refuge. Be Is discussing Rlceoll with Mar- Jaret. with whom the traitorous 'aior has lust offered to share the throne he believes he mill win I Chapter 31 RAISUL'8 PLAN rxr ISMETI Klsmetl Fit plays soma tunny trlcki. Surely one ot the tunnlest was to bring Raisul, looking tor Just such a tool, aero:: the path ot RIctolI," Le Sage con- tinned. "RalBul, who can pass a a Span lard in Spain, an Englishman In England, and almost as a French man In France, Is really clever, real ly subtle, and therefore Infinitely more dangerous than his father, who Is merely a first-class Robber Baron ot the old pattern. "And there again, strangely enough, it was Rlceoll who brought Raisul under our more particular aotice, tor be was watching and cul tivating Rlceoll when I was doing the same thing. I hare kept my eye on him ever since the year he be came a captain; for even then be waa a very remarkable man. And even then bad amazing boundless ambitions, and made no secret of them. "You won't be too deeply cha grined and hurt, I am sure. If I dla close to you the fact that be offered my own wife the same high destiny which be laid at your teet tonight" Margaret smiled. "I am a little disappointed, Colo nel Le Sage," she said. "It takes a little of the gilt oft the ginger bread for me." "Yes, but I am going to take the gingerbread from under the gilt, for him," answered Le Sage, "and quite soon, I hope. "Yes," he continued. "A Corslcan ' bfflcer of Chasseurs d'Afrlque, who thinks In kingdoms and empires. In worth watching. Especially later, when his partner is the interesting Raisul, son and belr ot the Kald of Mekazien; and most particularly So, when later still, he intrigues hard, moves heaven and earth, we nay say, to get posted to the least desirable spot in the French Afri can Empire, and that spot happens to be on the borders ot Mekazien. " "I wonder the French authorities didn't arrest Raisul," said Margaret. "Oh no, my child, that would never have done. In the first place, there were no grounds for doing so, tor it Is not a criminal offense to be the son ot one'a papa; and In the second place, once I waa. on bis track and had a pretty clear Idea of what was on, I should have been very sorry if the game bad been Stopped at that stage. "Well, Raisul fooled Rlceoll, and Slccoli fooled Raisul, or eaoh thought he was tooling the other. Raisul saw his way to giving France a hideous shock as well aa gather log In some very solid material ad, vantages In the shape of the latest guns very difficult to get hold of rifles, and a large number ot European-trained soldlors. Also officers and - specialists, engineers, signal lers, gunners and so on. "Doubtless Raisul hopes that Rlc eoll will be a perfectly invaluable tool and weapon until tbe time comes to break- it and that will be the time when the tool begins to turn In its master's hand, the weapon to be two-edged. It may hap pen at once. Rlceoll may show bis hand now. "And then exit Rlceoll." "And where did Rlceoll fool Hal kul?" asked Margaret "By pretending to be the tool, while Intending to be tbe master. Ha hasn't the very faintest Intention ot really serving the Kald of Me kazisen. Do you know what he has come here to dot Nothing more nor, less than to seise this Citadel." "WhatT" asked Margaret "Cap ture the castle!" "Yes. And whoever holds the Cita del holds the town. And, of course, the country. But Rlceoll is not doing this for France. It Is for himself." "How do you knowt How could ou prove it?" asked Margaret "Know and provet Well, I know kacausa I have known Rlceoll and the workings of bis mind for a very long time: and because, thanks part . ly to you. Margaret I know that bis mind Is working todaj as it worred when first he brought himself to my notice, through his proposal to IS OF UNLOADED GUN LA ORANDB, Ore, Marcti 14 (AP) -Another victim of the "unloaded" fun wu counted In eastern Oregon yesterday when Cooper Murrllt, a, was burled at Paradise, a little commu WRIGLEY-S Valiant Dust by Percival Christopher Wren -BtAucort' my wife. But working now tar mort violently. That is how I know. "And as for proof, the tool has convicted himself not onfy'ln speech and In writing, but in act "When he left his base and came to the borders of Mekazzeo, he was able to pick certain subordinates to go with his column. So waa L And one or two of the people whom he has corrupted were planted there to bs approached and corrupted." "It seems hardly believable," said Margaret "Yes, it would be unbelievable. If It hadn't been done before," replied Le Sage. "And I suppose you get at least one of that type in every gen eration of soldiers." "Isn't It Just possible," said Mar garet, "that he is loyal; that his colossal ambition Is working along the legitimate channel? Rash and unorthodox, vain and self-sufficient. It you like, but not a traitor? Might It not be that be sees himself tbe hero of France, and tbe idol of the army?" "A "successful Marchand ot Fas hoda, perhaps?" smiled Le Sage. "No. But I am golns to give him one last chance at the last second of the eleventh hour." "Well, I've heard of sitting on a volcano!" began Margaret. "What would happen It there Is an explo sion behind your back?" "Depends. If Rlceoll acta first, and Is successful, the explosion wll bo heard all over Europe. Incidentally, I shall probably be blown out of the castle, and I shall take you with me, Margaret, If you'd like to come. Not but what I should think you'd be safe enough here, for I don't for a moment think that Raisul and one or two of the others will survive tbe explosion. In plain English Rlceoll will certainly shoot him and tbe Kald for a start" "Even so," replied Margaret, "If that happens, I'll go with yon, please, Colonel Le Sage, If It can be managed. "Yes, we'll get you away, all right In disguise. Make a dirty little Arab youth ot you and hand you over to my caravan-leader. You'll be sate onough then, provided you do what he tells you." "I don't understand any Arable, you know," said Margaret "He's a Frentfh officer. Captain Plerrepont of the Intelligence de partment" smiled Le Sage. "An offi cer and a gentleman. You'll be safe enough with him. Incidentally so Is the dirty ruffian with the awful squint the man who carried our notes. He la Major Langeac a very handsome man when be takes off bis squint and bis dirt and puts his false teeth In. He had all bis beauti ful teeth drawn to facilitate his disguising himself. There's zeal for yon!" "There'll be fighting. In any case, won't there?" asked Margaret ' "Heaven knows wbat thore'll be, my dear. There's bound to be a cer tain amount of shooting, I expect It's impossible to say what will hap pen, whoever begins the debacle Rlceoll, Raisul, the Kald or Jules Mallgnl and Pedro ' Mallgnl with some game of their own or I, my self." - . "Haven't you got to anticipate them In any case?" asked Margaret "No, not necessarily. Not so much anticipate them as act simultaneous ly but contrarlly. If Rlceoll la able to act In time and seises the castle, I act too and say, 'Thank you my castle, I think,' having laid my plans to be In a position to do so, plans depending on the conduct ot the legionnaires to a great extont as I said. 'If Raisul chooses to act before he's got all the column here and, deciding that Rlceoll Is not going to be bis tool and weapon, cuts bis throat, I must try to do my beat with the section ot legionnaires that Is here. It they have been utterly cor rupted, we must go and see what I can do with the advancing re-ln-forcements. I think I could manage them all right and perhaps play Rlccoll'a part play his game. But play it for France. "In any event dont worry, my dear. You shall get home all right" 'Homel' breathed Margaret "Home!" "Where Is It?" asked Le Sage. "Yelverbury." replied Margaret Not by so much as the flicker ot an eyelid did Colonel Le Sage botray the fact that ha had received one of the surprises ot a lifetime. "What did you say, Margaret?" "Yelverbury." "Ah. ... I seem to have heard ot It somewhere." A blow from bthlnd falls en In whom Margarst Is Qraatly Intsr tstsd, tomorrow. nity in Wallowa eounty.
