Then Ls Sage's varty kills the pow srful Katd of slekazzen himself with the treaoherous help of the Kaid's adviser, Pedro ilotlgnL But Pedro, horrified, learns that Raisul, son of the Katd and the intended next victim ot the Mallgnl treach ery, hae had an altercation with Jules Mallgnl. Pedro'e son. he Bags dispatches Otto Bcllime down a swinging rops on the oM(!a wall to unravel the mystery. Chapter 46 ANOTHER PLOT '""loHee, Hassan, quickly,'' said Jules, and slyly made a secret sign. Swiftly Hassan departed, and, i few momenta later, was seated In bla near-by stone cell, before amall brazier wherein a fire per petually smolder A, and water was ready for tbe making of coffee or mint-tea at any time. Having set tbe coffee to boll, Has san el Mlskeen now departed from bis accustomed uncbanglng ritual. Pulling a ston from tbe wall, be nut bis band Into tbe aperture thus disclosed, and brought forth a tiny amulet-box. From this be shook a quantity ot dirty white powder Into the coffee pot. And smacking bis lips, Hassan el Mlskeen stirred tbe brew once more, and then hurried with laden tray to his master s room, when Hassan el Mlskeen entered, be found bis master seated cross-leg ged upon a divan, a bottle of brandy and a glass upon a low table by bis aide, Seated opposite to him, lolling In comfort, smoking a cigarette, Rai sul smiled enigmatically. "Put the coffee beside tbe Sldl," ordered Jules. And having obeyed, Hassan el Mlskeen departed from tbe room, and sat himself down within sight of tbe door, to watch and to wait. Would that human devil actually die there In the room? Might Has san be Called, U go quickly for help, and looking Into the room. might be actually see him contorted and writhing In tbe throes ot death; with bis own tyes see him dying there In dreadful agony, even as he bad caused so many others to die In agony? Bmlllng, almost chuckling, at his thoughts, Raisul poured himself a aup of coffee. "Aren't you going to have a little drink, Jules?" be asked, nodding towards tbe brandy bottle. "Rather. I was only waiting un til you ..." "Oh, don't wait tor me, my dear chap," and Raisul stirred bis coffee. Jules poured himself a generous measure of brandy. "Allah," be said, "that tastes funny," and smacked his lips and slicked his tongue doubtfully. "Brandy wrong, or your liver?" Rolled Raisul, still stirring the un : tasted coffee. "My liver's all l'L" obsorved Jules, srho BUddenly seemed a little drunk. "So'a the brandy," replied Raisul. lry It again." Jules Malign! tried It again. '"Snasty," be said. "Bin In boll (oo long ..." Ralaul laughed. "Look here, aren't you going to drink your blc-roffee?" Raisul again laughed merrily. "No, 1 don't think I'll drink any toffee tonight, Julos, you half-baked Borgia." "Wbassyou say?" "I said, 'Come along to my room bow.' I'm going to show you some thing. Something really good, I'll give you my word. Come on with fou." "Ropel" observed Raisul to Jules Mallgnl as they sat In tbe former's room a few minutes later. "Bear your weight, wouldn't it, lulee, l: It were round your nock." "I should shay abo," laughed the other, less vacantly. "Yes, a very nice rope," contln ned Raisul, "and It gives me a very nice Idea. Strong enough and, I think long enough." "For what?" asked Jules Mallgnl. "I'll show you, as I promised. Groat Idea. Come along," and going to the door, Raisul bade Jules Ma llgnl bring tbe rope. "I say, you know, old chappie, you don't think you're going to hlc bang me, do you?" "No, 1 am not going to hlc hang you. Come along, will you?" And followed obediently by his companion with the ropo, and soon by Hassan el Mlskeen, Raisul pro ceeded, by devious ways, to a distant part of tbe CltadeL "This ls the place," said Raisul at length. "At least, I think It ls. I want yon to loon through that em brasure and bang over, and tell me what you can see straight below. Be very careful, and don't loan out too far." Jules Mallgnl obeyed bis cousin, as always. "Nothing there. Can't see any hlc thing. Only rocks." "Ah!" observed Raisul. "All clear, eh? Right Now stand up like a man, straight and steady, and look at the horizon. What can you see?" "Nothing. Can't see any hlc thing." "Well, you will In a moment," re plied Raisul and, standing behind Mallgnl, be swiftly bent over back ward and raised bis foot as does the savate fighter, with back-drawn knee. Suddenly, with tremendous force and swiftness, the foot shot out, the m Out over the desert. sole taking Mallgnl squarely be tween the shouldor-blados, and hurling him forward. His legs struck the edge of the low embrasure, and with a gasping cry be threw out his arms and clutched wildly at tbo embrasure sides, as, bead foremost, he fell and disappeared over the castle wall . . . Down , , . down . , . down , . . turning and turning In mid air, to strike the Jackal-haunted rocks In the deep ravine, three hundred feet below. Raisul turned away, "And now tor the little rope- trick," quoth he, and smiled his own especial suillo. .... What was to be the end of It all the end of her Margaret won dered as she again assured her self that tho bugo key ot her door was turned as far as It would go. and that both the great heavy bolts wore shot home. Having undressed, she went to the little stone verandnh-balcony built out from the wall of tho room, that vast wall, ten foot thick even at this great height, which was part ot tbe outer wall ot the castle Itself. Yawning heavily, for sleep of late had been light, scanty and broken, Margaret dung herself down upon tbe over-cushioned bed, and once again tried all the sleep-wooing do vices of which she had ever heard. But what folly to think that she could sleep while Otho was lying bound and gagged, perhaps maimed for life. What was that? A cry? iCtPilto, 1911, f. A. Slesst C.)
