SYNOrsin: The welter of in trigue against France in the Cita del of ilckasten euddenly ends in death tor the Kald at Uekaeten, and capture for the trattoroue Ua- Jor Riccoli ol the Foreign Legion, lalsul, eon of the Bald, tllnge Julee itallgnt. who had betrayed him. from a high batoonu to death below. Colonel he Sage of the French Secret service arrivee at the bat cony only to find a rope dangling from it. Otho Belleme ie eent down the rope to find Raieul. Meanwhile, Margaret ualigni. Jules' English wle, ie wakened by a wild cry. . Chapter 47 A TERRIBLE THREA' WHAT was that? Margarot sprang op. ' No doubt ot It tbls timet A cry and then a crash. No, a clatter. Still sounding In her ears. The cupl Someone had sent It rolling, bumping and clattering across the stone floor. , Merciful Heaven, help! There was a man standing on the coping ot the balcony clearly silhouetted against the moonlight and the lumi nous sky. He was hanging on a rope or holding to It, as he stood on the balcony ledge and he had kicked the tin cup Into the room as he ought (ootbold. Had she not gone and drunk wa ter, and left the cup there In the middle of the coping he would have got Into the room In perfect alienee, and found her tbere asleep. Well now he had found her awake. Tbank God for the pistol. But she couldn't shoot the man In eold blood, without a word. Vet It he waited much longer, her hand certainly would begin to shake. Conld he see her now? Why didn't he move? Of course, he was listen ing, peering. Should she Are, or peak? ! She would Are. ' Heavens, nol It might not be Ralsul. And It It were Kalsul and he killed him what would bapp n to tbem all, as soon aa the Kald knew? Things unthinkable. The man stooped and stepped down Into the balcony. "Well?" said Margaret quietly, and turned tp the lamp. ' "Oood evening, my dear. One would almost have thought that you were expecting me. Well, you will be expecting me, after tonight, though I shan't have to come down rope." "Stop! Stand still," cried Mar garet. "Oood Heavens! A real pistol! What a desperate young woman! Now I wonder where on earth you got that thing. And I - wonder whether It's loaded. And I wonder whether you can use It." "Stop!" cried Margaret again. "Stand still. If you oroBS that mat, I'll shoot you." Kalsul laughed, "Well, well," he grinned, and suddenly sobered. "Love me, Margaret, have me. I will make you hrppy. I swear It by .the Ninety and Nine sacred names ot Allah. Love? What do these Christian dogs know of love?" And Ralsul deliberately stepped Into the middle ot the mat, Just as Margaret perforce lowered her - h lng arm. "Shoot, Margaretl" he said, and Spread his arms wide, exposing his breast. ; Margaret raised the pistol. "Shoot, Margaretl" he repeated, landing steady as a rock, smiling unflinchingly. What should she do? He was edg ing nearer. Why didn't she shoot him as he stood there smiling at her? But how could she kill him when only too well sbe knew the terrible consequences. "Shoot Margaretl" Invited Ralsul for the third time. "Lot me die ' are at your feet. For how can man die better?" And Ralsul took another step towards the bed. "Please don't make me kill you, Ralsul," Margaret said. "Have yru no decency at all? you shan'' die on the praying-carpet But I swear to God you shall die It you step off It If you move another Inch I shall be justified In firing In noltdo fence." "You won't be kind?" "Do. will you?" "All right Margaret all right Til go. And when I come back, It will be with bis blood on my hands-on my hands and on your head, Mar garet" "What do you moan?" whispered Margaret and again, perforce, sho lowered the pistol, that he might not see how she trembled. "Ah! What do I mean? Do you know, I hardly like to tell you ex actly what I mean. Anybow it will be 'something with boiling ol In It' But I tell you this either I'll have Oregon Weather. Fair tonight with frosU west por tion and freezing temperature east portion; Wednesday xair and warm er; gentle changeable winds offshore. Pender and body repairing.

Either I have your lips with mine, or I'll have bis Hps with a knife. That'll spoil his beauty, won't it, Margaret That's what I tell you, Margaret and I think you know whether I am a man who keeps all his promises when they are threats." Neither of them had yet men tioned a name. Margaret had (trunk back In hor ror. "Tee, I know. All very horrid. Look here, Margaret love me, and be can go. I'll see him safe out ot the country, out ot the Legion, and back to England. "Mind you, I've got you, and I'm going to keep you, and things will be so much pleasanter especially for you If you'll be sensible as well as kind and surely lite would be better for you, Margaret as my wife than as my.. ." "I have one husband already." "That's where you're wrong. Mar garet. That was another part ot my errand of morcy to tell you that Jules bas met with a little acci dent" "Jules? An accident?" "Yes, and to offer the appropri ate condolences or congratulations. In fact, I might t.ave shouted in the window, 'Is the Widow Malign! at home?" Suddenly Margaret sat down. "Yes, the poor Jules is no longer with us, and Otho Belleme will be with us no lqnger If I go now, Mar garet" Would this devil mutilate, torture and murder Otho? i "Ralsul," she said. "Is there any oath that you would keep?" "Oh yes, especially to you, Mar garet Yes . , . there's an oath I'd keep." "Then listen. Will you swear that oath to me? That It I do not ulve myself to you you Intend to tor ture and to kill Otho Belleme?" "With the greatest pleasure, and absolute sincerity." "I believe you." That settled It If Jules were dead, he could not suffer punish ment Pedro Mnllgnl and his wife must look out for themselves, as they had dona all these years. Tor herself well, never mind herself. She could, and she would, save Otho. She bad spoilt his life with her folly, she'd save It now with her poor courage.' Margaret raised the pistol. Straight at Ralsul's face. For Otho... Bangl "Y" Allah! That was close. You pulled . to the right But you've blinded me, Maragaret "Blind for life, 1 groaned Ralsul. Ralsul raised both arms, drew bis silken scarf across his face and then suddenly, sprang like a pan ther. . Bong! Too late. Bang! What was the uso? He was break ing her wrist But the noise might bring help. Bang! Bang! The pistol! He had It She was flung violently upon the bed, and the pistol fell clattering In the most distant corner' of the room. The knife. Fool that she '.'ad been. Why bad sbe not kept the dagger In her left hand? Undor the pillow. The man was as strong as a Hon . . . . Both her wrists , . . His whole weight ... She could not move . . . His foul Hps . . , Oh Ood, she must not taint What was he saying? ... "Do you bear, Margaret, do you hear? Listen to that oath again, the oath that 1 have never broken the oath that I will never break. Did you bear It? "And he can thank his God that your first shot missed me, for noth ing on earth could have saved your damned Otho Bellome or you If I had died here. No one, and nothing, can save him but me." And suddenly Margaret realized that It was so. Othol She boraelt had all but caused his doath for Ralsul's death meant Otho's death. For once Ralsul was sneaking the truth. "Ralsul," she said, "You swore that It I did not give myself to yon, Otho should die. Do you swear by that same oath that be shall live and go free, If I . . ." "Margaret I swear." Otho's life.
