"Oh, quite a lot Oh yes." "Le Sage, you'd never band me, a fellow white mac, a compatriot, a brother officer, you'd never hand me over to this devil, Ralsul, to be tor tured." "You're looking quite pale, Rlo coll," Le Sage remarked. "Look bere, Le Sage, tor Ucd's sake tell me plainly, and let me know the worst" "The worst Major Rlccoll, Is that you, a French officer, are, for your own private gain, a traitor to France." "Answor my question, Le Sage. Have you betrayed me to Ralsul? And are you going to let blm tor ture me?" ".Betrayed you to Ralsul 1 No, Ma jor Rlccoll, not Intentionally, Nor do I propose to hand you over to blm. I am going to deal wltb yon myself." A look of cunning came Into the eyes of Rlccoll. "The Kaid," he said. "Ralsul may have told him? Warned blm?" "Possibly," agreed Le Sage. "Al most probably, In fact But Ralsul takes his own line and It may cross that of the Kaid." "And you bavo an appointment with the Kald." "Tonight," agreed Le Sage. "Now, In fact" Rlccoll said nothing, but bis face spoke volumes. "Oh no," laughed Le Sage In answer to Rlccoli's unuttered thought "He won't get me, Rlc coll though I'm banking on my be lief that he thinks he will Now 1 really must go." Picking up Rlccoli's pistol from the table, Le Sage went to the door. "Bellomel" he called, Otho entered and saluted. "Which of 7cur three Is the itaunchest steadiest man?" he asked. "The man with the best head as well as the coolest courage." "Legionnaire Mummery, Sir," re plied Otho. "Fetch him in." "You see this officer," said Le Sago to Mummery, as Joe halted, saluted and stood rigidly at atten tion before him. "Ho Is not to leave this room alive. Lock the door after me, and do not open It until , 1 knock three times, then twice, then once, like this. It anyone else knocks In the ordinary way, take Do notice whatever. It force la used, and the door Is burst open shoot this officer Instantly and then de tend yoursoir. Understand?" "Yes, sir." Le Sage turned to Rlccoll, "You'll find this man Incorrupti ble, Major Rlccoll," he said, "Also prompt In executing orders. So let's hope none of your friends or followers knocks the door down, In search of you. It all goes well with me, I shall see you again later. If not I am afraid the door will be burst open by someono or other, eventually." "Follow me, and move quietly," ordered the Colonel, and led the way to the barrack-room. "Attention," ordered the senior sorgeant as Le Sago entered, fol lowed by Major Langeao who had Joined him at the door. "Absolutely all right Loyal, to a man," was the report ot the latter. "I don't say that a few ot them wouldn't have thrown In their lot with Rlccoll, It ho had brought It off and then declared himself. Anyhrw, they're spoiling for a light as al ways." "Well, 1 want three more, for my Job," said Le Sage. "You, Belleme, pick me the three boat men here men you'd like to command for a forlorn hope, or have with yon in a tight coruor." Otho called three names. Fetro vltch. Poussln. Solt. "Good. Fall In outside the six of you." "Carry on, Lengeac, and good luck to you. The Kald and Ralsul think Rlccoll Is not going to double cross them until the rest ot his col umn arrives. And as they don't connect me with Rlccoli's show at all MM FALLS FROM PORTLAND, Ore..

Everybody will be too flabbergasted especially as you have the pass-word." The two officers shook bands. "Oood-bye, sir," smiled Langeac, "but 1 shall meet yon again within the hour, at the flag-staff on the Sultan Tower." Le Sage Joined his chosen six. "Now follow Jie. In single file," he ordered, "and step like er ballet-girls." A few minutes later, at the toot ot a flight of winding stairs, Le Sage signalled his men to halt and gather round him. "Listen," be said, "and make no mistake. There may be some jht lng. If so, let no man lire a shot until I do. It I use my revolver, then shoot Cr, it we're fired at Gre back. But If possible, I want there to be no noise. Understand, Belleme? "We're going to capture the Kald, and unless we have been be trayed. It will be an easy Job. It we have been betrayed, It will be our last Job. Come on." At the top of the winding stair, the party waa met by a short, stout Moorish-looking man In hooded cloak who held a whispered con ference with Le Sage. "It's all right," whispered the Sefior Pedro Mallgnl. "I sent Ma- hommed All el Amin oft to his quar ters, with a false order from the Kald. Also, the Officer ot the Quard. Langeao will find that they'll sleep pretty heavily tonight "There will be nobody In the private audlence-chambor when I admit yon. And no one will come with the Kald except myself, Abu Talib Zerhoun, and Ibrahim the Lion. Your men can deal with them? Qoodl" "And Ralsul?" asked Le Sage. "Ralsul's with Jules. Ralsul, too, Is going to sleep soundly tonight! It Is ubout time you got Into the audience-room." "Lead on," said Le Sage. Having climbed another stair, and traversed several passages, the party, guided by the Senor Pedro Mallgnl, halted at a small and heavy door, set In a thick stone wall. This, the latter unlocked, and with a warning gesture that com manded caution and silence, led the way Into a smal' octagonal room, furnished, as to the walls, with deep cushlonod divans and silken hang ings. Opposite a kind ot throne was a seml-clrole ot settees ot European origin, arranged so that people hav ing private audiences of the Kaid might be seated fac to face with him, and facing him from a lower level. "Stand here," whispered Mallgnl to Le Sage, Indicating the settee, "as though you wore going to take your place on the divan as soon as1 the Kald Is seated on the throne. Now then, the men must hide." SeQor Pedro Mallgnl waited by another small door opposite to the one by which they had entered. He took stock ot the room. "That's all right" he said. "I can see no one but you. I'll go for the Kald, locking the door behind me. . The Kald himself has the only other key. He'll unlock the door, and probably lead the way Into 'he room, followed b Ibrahim the Lion and Abu Talib Zorhoun. "It will be supposed that I am following and that the four ot us, headed by Ibrahim the Lion, will deal with you when the moment comes. But Instead of following, 1 shall stand aside, and when the throo have entered the room, 1 shall qulotly close the door, lock It from without, and leave the key In the lock. "When you hammer on the door, tour double "mocks, I shall know that all Is well, and will open It" "Now, my ladb," said Le Sage quietly, "when I shout 'Roady,' Jump to It No shooting. Rifle-butts will do our business." A quarter ot an hour that seemed like a quarter of a contury. Appalling silence. .CetyrttU. I'll, t. 4. Sletei Ce.)
