The turning of a key In the lock. The door opened, and the Great Kald. Haroun Abd'aJlah Karlm tood In the doorway. He entered the room, and, Ilka a following ihadow, the giant negro, Ibrahim the Lion, stooping through the six-toot doorway, followed his master. Behind him eamn the Kald'e confidential scribe. Softly the door closed behind him, and Le Sage suppressed a sigh of relief. Intent upon his victim, the Kald noticed not the absence of his trust ed Vizier, and. In the noise of his booming speech, the faint, almost Inaudible sound of a turning, wall oiled key, was lost. Seating himself on the throne, his bodyguard and secretary behind him, the Kald smiled again. "Aselamu, alelkuml" he boomed. "How la your health? Well? That Is welL We would hare you get the fullest enjoyment from such life as may remain to you by the Qraca of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassion ate." Le Sage bowed and seated him elf. "I trust that Allah the Merciful, the Compasslonato, will not only give the Great Kald many long years of health, but to me at least an equal number In which I may know that he Is or safe where no enemy can reach him, and . . ." Leaning back upon his throne, hla great Jewelled sword across his knees, the Kald gave rent to his bumor In his great roaring laugh for which bo was not only famous, but feared. ' And scarcely had that leonine roar of dreadful laughter begun be fore there was another roar, a shout. - ory In cockney English. "My Gawd I Jt's '1ml It's Mm I a Sailor Harris sprang to his feet " 'B 'ung mj chum on the 'ooksl . And, leaping the settee aa he ahouted, Ballo,' Harris, bis fixed bay onet, at the charge, rushed upon the Kald. Evan aa Le Sage sprang to his feet, tbe madman lunged and drove the long lean bayonet through the beart-ot the Kald. "Take that, you bloody torturer," shouted the mad Harris, as be drew forth bis bayonet and stabbed again. "Ready," ahouted Le Sage, strik ing Ibrahim tbe Lion on the aide of the head wid all hla strength, as tbe latter stooped to seise the Raid's sabre. Aa Ibrahim staggered and almost fell Otbo leaped upon blm, bringing blm to the ground, while William Bossum, with excess ot teal, gave the unfortunate scribe so heavy a right-bander on tbe point of bis Jaw that be oraabed to the ground and lay as one dead. In a momont Ibrahim the Lion ilghed, relaxed, closed hla eyes and lay still. "WelL my man," said Le Sage, turning to tbe panting Sailor Har ris, "you solved a problem with tba bayonet. What were your or ders?" "I forgot meself. Sir," panted Bailor Harris. " 'H laughed like that 'When 'e killed my chum an' tortured me. 'E'd have 'ad you on the 'ooka, Blr." : "What were your ordera?" j "I see red, sir. I went mad when I 'aard Mm laugh." "We'll call It that, then; mad ness. All right, now?" "Yes, sir." ; Suddenly there was a swift, tre mendous awlrl ot struggling hu manity. Ibrahim tba Lion had auddenly drawn up his legs, flexed his mighty arms, abot out hla feet, sent flying the man whose bayonet was at hie throat, crashed together the heads ot the men who held bis arms, and struggled free. Leaping like a man ot India rubber to hla feet, he snatchy bis master's sword and sprang at Le Sage. Ere the great shining blade oould descend, and cleave Lc Sage's skull, Otho struck? With his bare fist ha drove a tremendous well-timed smashing blow between tbe giant's eyes, driv ing blm staggering back.

LOOK FOR THE RED TAPE OPENER Valiant Dust Jutk& of by Percival Christopher Wren -beaucesti Springing In, Otho crashed In a left and right, trove a tremendous right at the negro'a mark, and, with his left seized the wrist ol bis sword-hand and tell aa his toot slipped on the marble floor. Ibrahim the Lion wrenched tree hla sword-hand, and whirled up the sabre, once more to try to decapi tate a man. Otho flung up his arm to guard his head, and Sailor Harris again sprang. "You too, you bloody beast," be roared, as he lunged. Ibrahim, a lion 10 the last, fell unconscious beside the master for whom he bad lived, and from whom he had received nothing but per mission to live. "Thanks, Harris," whispered Otho, as he rose. Le Sage gave directions for the scribe, who still appeared to be unconscious, to be bound and gagged. "We'll come back here after wards," said he, and then struck tour double knocks upon the door, with tbe butt of the pistol bo bad taken from Rlccoll. . "All's well," said La Sage, as Mallgnl stood In the doorway. But with the Benor Pedro Mallgnl, obviously ail was not well. Trembling from head to foot, with tears streaming down his cbeoks, with shaking, clutching hands and broken voice, he Implored Le Sage'a Instant help. What's wrong, man? Pull your self together," urged Le Sage. What Is It? Has Langeac . . .?" "My son, my son," wept Mallgnl, "Come quickly, Colonel. Something terrible bas happened. Hassan al Mlskeen Is trying to tell me some thing about Jules and IUIaul. One ot them has killed the otbei, and 1 fear It Is my son who la dead." And so great was the grief and horror of Hassan el Mlskeen that be, too, even dared to pluck at Le Sage's sleeve, , "Ralsul, the Raid's son This way?" asked Le Sage, In Arabic. And tbe dumb slave, darting for ward, turned and beckoned, dumbly calling Le Sage on, at does a dog that would lead Its master to some, tragic spot. Le Saga hung In doubt for but a second. Were these Mallgnls In league with Ralsul? "The Kald Is dead, long live the Kald?" Had Pedro Mallgnl known that Ralsul was hiding In Mallgnl's roord, that day, during their quiet little private talk? A plot, a plant to show Ralsul, the Rising Star, bow the clever and faithful Mallgnl bad fooled and caught the French of ficer who pretended to be a German friend and ally? "Lead on In front of me, Mallgnl," he said, and gave the Senor Pedro Mallgnl a gentle push with the muzzle of his cocked revolver.' Yes, yes, come on," cried Ma llgnl, and Le Sage decided that the man's state was genuine, and that he waa In the grip of a most power ful emotion sweating, weeping, trembling with horror, fear and grief. Hassan el- Mlskeen at length brought the party to a low horse shoe doorwaj, from which a atone stair wound up In the thickness of tbe wall, and ended In another low doorway which gave upon a lofty battlement, bathed In brilliant moon- right. Rushing forward, Hassan el Mls keen dashed, pointing and gibber ing, to where a rope, looped round an embrasure-upright, dangled down the wall. Craning through an embrasure. Le Sage daw that the "one JuBt reached to a small balcony that Jutted out from the wall a dozen feet below. "El Sidl Ralsul?" he asked of Hassan who, with violent nodding of the head, stabbed downward with his pointing flngor. "Down there, Is he? You saw him go down the rope?" More violent gesticulations and noddlngs ot the head. "And my son. Jules ... my only son?" cried tho distraught Mallgnl In a voice ot anguish. "Bell6me," said Le Sage. "You know Ralsul by sight Here's your chance. Down you go, man, and get him tor me. Qet him, alive or dead, and I'll ..." "Yes, sir, alive or dead," and whipping his bayonot from his rifle, Otho sheathed It stood his rifle against the wall, and, gripping the repe tightly with bands and legs, slid down It to the balcony below, CefyritU, 1S12. . 4, Sleeet C.)
