Chapter 41 A NEW MI8UNDER8TANDINQ RISING from the cushioned mat tress that served him Indiffer ently As arm-chair, couch and bed, Colonel Le Sage strode to the heary Iron-plated door of his room. That wasn't Major Langeac's knock,' but It was the knock all right- Warily opening the door, Le Sage aw a Moorish woman, or rather a cloak which presumably concealed Moorish woman, for no face was Tlslble. "Yelverburyt" he Inquired in a whisper. "It's I, Margaret," she whispered in reply, as she slipped into the room, and Le Sage locked the door. "Oh, I am In such trouble. Colo nel Le Sage. I've come to you for kelp. You will help me, won't you?" "What Is It?" asked Colonel Le Cage. A little coldly, Margaret thought. " Could It be that he was another of those people who promise every thing and perform nothing? Had ke cultivated her solely for his own nds, or for her possible usefulness to him. "You will help me?" she asked Blm urgently, seizing his arm. ; "What Is It?" again asked Colonel Jut Sage. Yes. Definitely unenthuslastlc He had been very different from this when It bad been a question of her being useful to him. "I did my best to help you, Colo- Bel Le Sage. And I'll help all I can, I'll do anything you ask, It only you 11 help me now, just this once.' i Margaret fought back her tears -tears of pain, misery and disap pointment Was there no one In the .world she could trust except Otho? And yet she had felt such confidence In this man. An instinctive liking md trust What was he saying about Yel verbury? Why talk about that now? "Oh, Colonel Le Sage, do listen to kit and help me. My oldest and dearest friend Is . . ." One moment Mrs. MallghL Yon must answer my question before we go any furthor. I must know where I am." "Oh, Colonel L Sage, I trust ed . "Yes, Mrs. Mallgnt. And I trusted you absolutely, although It's not my custom. Now, tell me why didn't you give me the pass-word when you came to my door? And when you've told me that just tell me jrhere you got It" ' "I don't understand, Colonel Le page." - "You don't? At the end ot our talk together, you suddenly shot It at me, and I admit yon made me (eel aomethlng ot a tool. What was tha Idea exactly, Mrs. Mallgnt, In concealing the fact that you knew 111 tht time who I was?" "But I didn't . . . I . . "And I wonder how the devil your knsband got hold ot It And I'd have worn that that legionnaire lad was honest too straight too fine. I suppose he gave me and the pass word away to Rlccoll, and Rlccoll told It to tht Mallgnls, and Jules Malignl told you." "Told me what?1' cried the be fcrtldered Margaret "Look here, Mrs. Malign!. There's the small matter of my life at stake, and you can believe me when I say that It It a very small matter In com parison with my success. That Is em enormous matter, and I stick at absolutely nothing when I am work ing tor my country. ! "How long have you known who $ am? ; Who else beside your bus band and bis father know who I km? And who was It told you a Bass-word that I'd have sworn only I ana one other man ever knew? It's Important "Was It your noble husband, or ras It Rlccoll himself?" "Colonel Le Sage, what are you talking about? What has happened since I saw you last? My husband told me you were a German Secret Service officer, Carl von Mlttengen, masquerading as Herr Schlacht and toping to get something out ot the Kald. I never dreamt you were any thing else until you told me so, the last time I saw you. "As for the pass-word you are talking about nobody has tver told me any pass-word, neither my OLD 1PIMATI LYONS, ' rrano (AP) Erudlt Bdouwd Harriot, ex-premier but still mayor of this l Ik-city, Is using an jWRIGL that fascinating flavor Valiant Dust by Pereival Christopher Wren iugetC Husband nor Major Rlccoll, and I know nothing whatever about It" Colonel Le Sage stared hard Into Margaret's eyes, which met his un waveringly, unflinchingly. Suddenly he spoke. "Tell me this, then," he snapped. "Where did you get this word 'Yel verbury"? Why did you say It to me?" "Where did I get It? I was born there. Why did I say It to you? Be cause you asked me where my home was. Yelverbury"s my home. What are you talking about?" It was too much. Margaret burst Into tears. Colonel Le Sage put his arm abont the .trembling, shaking, sobbing figure. "Margaret," he said kindly, "tell me just ont thing, and I'll never doubt you again. Not tor a moment Tell me someone else who lives, or lived, at your. Yelverbury." My father, Dr. Mayklngs," sobbed Margaret "My mother, my brother Jack, my husband was at school there,.." "Yes? Anyone else?" "The Reverend Henry Hoalnt was the Vicar. His son used to play with us." "Yes. And who was . your big man?" . "Sir Robert Uandevllle Belleme. "Ahl And his son?" "Oh, Colonel Le Sage, Otho. It Is about Otho I have come to you. He joined the Foreign Legion. He Is here." "Good Ood," whispered Le Sage, and In his relief put the other arm also about Margaret and hugged her.. She had been telling, the truth. All was well. "I beg your pardon, my dear child. Forgive me," he said. "Now tell me what the trouble is." ... ' "Well, we've got to do something, Bob, to the swlnt that had you de coyed and beaten. ' We've simply got to show the hound that he . . ." An Arab, who had sauntered to ward the group ot legionnaires, stood eyeing them In vacant open- mouthed wonder. "01, bung off, Budoo. I ain't got no coppers, an' you ain't got no mon key." advised Sailor Harris. . But the big Arab, Instead of obey ing the advice ot Sailor Harris, ap peared to be galvanised Into sud den life, activity and Intelligence, as otho, removing his face from his hands, looked up to see who might be the object of Sailor Harris's ad monition. Striding forward, the Arab seised the astonished Otho by the arm. "Yelverburyl" aald he. "Listen," he continued, speaking English. "Follow me without ap pearing to do so. Don't keep too close, I mean."; Otho obeyed. "Now then, Otho Belleme," said Colonel Lt Sage, at be locked the door ot his room. "Toll me. Are those three Eng lish friends ot yourt staunch and loyal?" "Absolutely, sir." "And If I told them to obey you, and to follow you. In any undertak ing, would they do so?" "Absolutely, sir." , "Good. Now for how many others can you answer In your section? I mean, as being staunch and loyal, and entirely uncorrupted by er Sergeant-Major Vlttorelll." 'Three, for certain. Two old sol diers ot France, and a very fine Rus sian who was Regimental Sergeant- Major ot a guard regiment. "Good. Now listen.

'Sergeant-Major Vlttorelll wili er be elsewhere," replied Le Sage. 'Simply bring your three men here, telling them that now they really can do something helpful end useful In the matter ot or shall we say Margaret of Yelverbury?" And Colonel Le Sage laughed. "Sir?" ejaculated the startled Otho. "Oh yes. Mrs. Mallgnl and I are old friends. She Is helping me, and I, her. If all goes well tonight she'll be safely out ot this plact qultt soon." Rising, Colonel Le Sage strode to the door, and atter suddenly opening It glanced to right and left along the dim-lit stone tunnel-like pas sage, i Good," said he, placing a kindly hand on Otho's shoulder.
