In the appointed manner, upon the door of the room that had been RIccoII'b quarters, and was now his prison. "Guard the door outside," said he to the legionnaire who opened the door, and sprang to attention. Removing the key from the lock, and pocketing it Le Sage turned to Itlccoll, who sat at his table, nervously drumming upon It with his fingers, and who eyed him ?itn a feverish pale anxiety. "You've come for my help, Le Sage?" he began. "But It will bo on terms, on terms. I shall refuse to. . ." "Listen, Major Hlccoll," Inter rupted Le Sage. "The citadel, town, and country, of Mekazzen, are now In my hands tor France. "The whole of what was your column Is here, garrisoning the castle, picketing the town, and pa trolling the secret routes by the and hidden waterholes. 'I have now a quorum of officers for a council of war, and I could try you this very day, by court mar tial. If I did so, you would be found guilty: you would be sentenped to death: and I would myself superin tend the carrying out of the sen tence, at dawn tomorrow. The r-lng-party, under Major Langeac, would consist of those legionnaires whom I know to be faithful, loyal. and obedient soldiers of France. "But I shall not have you tried by court martial." Itlccoll smiled. "I will take it upon me to spare France that scandal. There shall be no great Klccoll affair, eclipsing In shamefulness and European popu larity the Dreyfus affair; eclipsing, because poor Dreyfus was an Inno cent man, whereas you. Major Rlc coll, are a guilty one a traitor to your country, your army, and your oath. i "No. There will be no court mar. tlal." Itlccoll laughed. "I'm sure there won't mv irood Le Sage," he said. "No. No court martial, and no scandal. Do you see this revolver. Major Klccoll? And do you remem- ner a little episode of many years ago, In which a revolver figured prominently? Do you remember my teuing you tnat it contained one cartridge? And do you remember my spinning the chamber thus? And after all. It proved to ba empty. "Once again I offer you a revol ver, Major Riccoll." Hlccoll extended an eager hand. seized the revolver and oreaent- lng It at Le Sage's face, pulled the trigger. And again, and again. No, no, Major Riccoll." smllad Le Sago. "I had not forgotten what you did on the occasion to which 1 uao. You fired at me then, with what you thought was the sixth and certain shot Didn't you? Now go and stand In the corner of the room there." 'Murder?" gaopod Riccoll. 'Oh, no," ropllod Le Sairo. "Stand there. So. Now as I go out of this room, I shall, Just before I cIobc the door, give you a cartridge." Riccoll stared wide-eyed, aghast now, Mnjor Riccoll, listen. And If evor you bollovod anything In the whole ef your life, believe thls'how. You have your oholce. And it Is the only choice, of any aor or kind, that Is left to' you. You can die by your own hand or by mine. For I swear by the Nome of God, and the na-io of Franco, If you do not take your own life, I will myself, wim my own hand, kill you In this room. In your life you have done m oh harm to France. In your death you shall do none. In an hour's time I shall send burying party to this cell." As he closed the door.
