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

has corrupted were planted there to

"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."
