He hung about near tbora. By this time the gaiety had reached Its highest pitch; everyone was noisy and excited. A thousand peo ple were enjoying themselves Irre sponsibly and a Uttlo drunkenly, not earing what anybody thought or them or how much row they kicked op.

It was bis Intention to stay with those monks - as long as he could, and find out what they meant to do. "Form a circle," commanded tho brown monk, "Dance, brothers, dance." 'PHK masked figures Joined hands, forming a circle, and began to dauco wildly round Elsa and the Charles the Second it all looked per fectly natural and harmless, merely rag by a small party of people oc cupying a small space on the big floor. Elsa stood in the middle ot tho circle, laughing; tho sight of those solemn figures capering round her amused her, "Let's tnko her to tho monastery, brothers," Bhouted tho browu monk suddenly. He plunscd into tho mlddlo of the circle, picked up Elsa's light figure easily In Ills arms, and began to carry her towards one or the exits. , "Make way tor the Queen of Hearts," he shouted. Laughtng and shouting, the other monks crowded round him. clearing a way through tho throng. Nobody attempted to interfere; It was ftlll so obviously merely a harm lean nig by a small parly ot Irresponsible. And Hiss did not necui to mind much.

Noth ing happened except that the car started. "That went off all right," observed the brown monk in a tone or hearty satisfaction. "1 pushed the needle Into her as I picked ber up; sbe oard ly moved at all. Now . don't forget your Instructions. As soon as we've delivered ber, we get back Into our Arab make-up and return to the Hall at once. Nobody will have missed us during the short time we shall be away, and when It's discovered that she's not there, somebody who's still ralrly sober Is sure to remember that sbe was carried off by a party oi monks. A pretty scheme. 1 have to band It to Mulgrave; he certainly is a neat schemer." "Yes. if be thought of It himself," observed another monk. "He prob ably got his orders typed In red on a sheet of blue paper with a number at tho top." "Well, whoover gave the orders, we did the Job," said the brown monk. "And a very neat Job we mado ot It. All we have to do now Is to hand her over and got back to tho Hall." Mnhony sat silent, saying nothing, lie did not feel in the slightest do grco norvous. Nor did the fact that he might have to shoot one or two ot these men trouble him at all. It did not seem to occur to any ot them to question, Mahony'a presence among them.

Where do you want her?" "Put her In tho other car," replied the man. "Then go Into the office and change your costumes round." "We'd better get nut first," said ono of tho monks. "Then we can get her out more easily." p They ail stepped out or the car Mnhuny last. "It's been a nice party," he said "Hut it's over now. Slick your minds up, nil ot you!"
