-he, Sago!" be said aharply,
"did you talk ol me to Pedro Ma
llgnl?" "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

"Dot it all clear? I go and collar

of the Kald and Ralsul, you'll meet
with any opposition. 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.
