But Mr. Bohun says, ‘No, Bugle and Rusli,’ he says, ‘ls our In formation bureau. So we won’t do them In,' he says; ‘lf there’s any news goin' they’ll have it.’ But you wouldn’t be lieve how we’ve laid an’ laid for Pha raoh —and missed him e”ery time. Look at tonight, sir. I'd been lyin' there where I met y«u since half-past six. Keepin' observation, I was, for Mr. Bohun's at Salzburg—l’ve told you that. To beat up his quarters, he said. In case you’d called. Well, I thought I had got him tonight, when the Rolls slowed down. I was ready to blow his head off —an’ then it turns out that It’s you. I don’t believe in charmed lives, but if ever a blackguard had one, Pharaoh's him.” “You wait. Barley,” said I, and got Into the car. “When d’you expect Mr. Bohun?” “Tomorrow morning, sir. About seven o'clock.” “What could be better?” said I. “Tell him to expect me for breakfast at about a quarter to nine. And that aft er that, if he likes, we'll run along to Plumage and close the Information bu reau." As I let in the clutch — “Good-by, Barley,” cried Helena. “Do what you can for his lordship and ask Mr. Bohun to forgive me for making free with bis room.” But Barley made no answer. I think he was incapable of speech. We> were back at the castle within a quarter of an hour. As the warden stepped out of the wicket, Helena spoke. “Has anyone entered the castle since I’ve been gone?” The porter replied: “No one at all, my lady.” I had known that would be his an swer, but the words were comfortable words. The race had been ours all the way, but now we knew It was over and the numbers were up. Helena was addressing the warden. “He's not been to the station, Florin. Unless he’s here, he must have gone somewhere by car.” “His lordship’s not here, my lady. And the Adelaide postern was open which shows that he went that way.” I drove the Rolls under the archway and into the small courtyard. As the leaves were closed behind us "Out of sight of the wicket,” said Helena. ■ There was just enough room to berth the car out of view. Helena turned to the warden, who had opened the door by her side. “The porter Is to put out his lights, but stay in his lodge. He is to open to no one, until you return. Mark that. To no one at all. And in Ave minutes’ time you and all the night-watchmen will come to the library." “If your ladyship pleases,” said Florin. Helena left the car, and I followed her up the stairs. . . . As I closed the library door, my lady took off her hat, pitched it on to a sofa and moved to the hearth. "What are you going to tell them?” For a moment she did not answer, but stood with her eyes on the Aames. Then — “That the man that murdered young Florin is coming to the castle tonight; that three hours ago he did his best to kill you, because he knows you can prove that he took young Florin’s life; that they know him as ‘Captain Fan ing,’ but that I know him as ‘Pharaoh’ —a very dangerous felon, who Is want ed for at least four murders in Eng land alone.” She turned to set her hands on my shoulders. “You must forgive me, darling, for playing this hand alone. But now you must stay in the background until we're through. They must not begin to believe that I’m acting on your advice. Now that Valentine’s out of the way, my author ity here is supreme, but I'm putting a strain upon it when I use my brother’s absence to order the death of his guest. Tomorrow —this afternoon you’ll stand on another footing, for everyone in the castle will know I’m to be your wife.” I could not apswer her, but I put my arms around her and kissed her lips. And then the light in her face went out. The lips I had kissed were moving, but no words came . . . and her little hands were trembling . . . and the blood was out of her face. She was looking over my shoulder — not so much with horror as .dully, as though the battle were hopeless and she was tired. As I let her go and swung round— “ Don't move, Mr. Spencer,” said Pha raoh. “The trigger they give these things are absurdly light.” “This thing” was an automatic pistol, pointing in my direction, about six paces away. CHAPTER VIII I Bear a Message. I confess that I was dumbfounded, and several seconds went by before I could And my tongue. "That’s so much bluff,” said I. “This Isn’t the forester’s cottage. If you Are on me here—” "X most frankly admit," said Pha- raoh, "that the feelings with which I should kill you would be extremely mixed. To be still more frank, I don’t want you to force my hand. Not that I value your life. In fact, you’re rather a nuisance. But If I were to—er — abate you, I should probably have to withdraw —and that wouldn’t suit my book. But for you to take any action would suit my book even less. And so. If you move, I shall Are. . . . I’m sure Lady Helena favors my point of view.” “Yes,” said Helena, quietly. “I see your point. Don’t move, John, I beg you'. He means what he says.” “He does indeed,” said Pharaoh. With his words a knock fell upon the door. . . . “Ah,” said Pharaoh. “The trusty warden, no doubt. ‘With his white hair unbonneted, the stout old sheriff comes; hehind him march the hal berdiers . . .’ I think you were going to tell him something, Lady Helen. Well, do have him in. But perhaps I ought to remind you that Mr. Spencer's life will depend upon what you say.” The pistol slid into his pocket; but though he withdrew’ his left hand, his right hand stayed where It was. Again the warden knocked, and Hel ena raised her voice and cried to him to come in. The warden entered the room. As his eyes lit upon Pharaoh, he started, as though in surprise; then he closed the door behind him and turned to where Helena stood. My lady moistened her lips. “I’m not at all satisfled, Florin, with the watch that is being kept. Here’s Captain Failing returned, but he was never challenged or —” “I found a postern open,” said Pha raoh. "To save the porter trouble, I entered by that.” “He should have been seen,” said Helena, “crossing the bridge.” The warden looked greatly con cerned. “There is something amiss, my lady —I know not what. I will swear that Hubert is faithful and Piers, who is “That’s So Much Bluff,” Said I. watchman tonight, is a man of his word. Yet, as I tell them, they might have no eyes nor ears." “There is something amiss,” said Helena. “Double the watchmen, Florin, and stop all leave. Two porters are to stay In the lodge and to keep a list of all persons that use the bridge. No postern is to be opened without per mission from me. Why were the serv ants abed when I came in?" “By his lordship’s orders, my lady.” “Those orders are cancelled —until his lordship returns. And now rouse his lordship’s valet and let him prepare the room in the eastern tower—the room above mine. Mr. Spencer will sleep there tonight. And rouse Rachel, as well. She will make my room ready and wait till I come. One thing more.” She drew out her master key. “Here is my key, Florin. You may as well keep it for me until I need it again.” The warden bowed and took It. “Will your ladyship speak to the men?” “Not tonight. I’ve changed my mind. But please see that they do their duty. I’ve a definite feeling of danger—very pressing danger, Florin; so please be ware.” “Rest assured, my lady, nothing that I can do shall be left undone.” Helena smiled and nodded, and the warden bowed low. Then he bowed to me, but not Pharaoh, and left the room. “I congratulate you.” said Pharaoh, “upon your quickness of wit. I had to give you some rope and you used it all.” Helena took her seat In a high backed chair. “I rather fancy,” she said, “you’d have done the same.” “I don’t know that I should have,” said Pharaoh, wrinkling his brow. “I believe in a margin of safety. . . . Now why do you think the warden ignored me when he went out?” Helena shrugged her shoulders. "Perhaps you don’t command his re spect.” Pharaoh Angered his chin. “Dewdrop,” he said quietly. One of the curtains swayed, and Dewdrop stepped out “Concentrate on that.warden, Dew drop. You heard what her ladyship said. If he seems to be getting Ideas, you must act for the best. The situa tion is delicate, Dewdrop, for what are we among so many? And now cover Mr. Spencer. I want to talk.” As Dewdrop moved towuds me, be took bis seat on a sofa and crossed his legs. Pharaoh was looking at Helena, smil ing aa insolent smile. “I’m afraid it's clear,” he drawled, "that you didn’t expect me so soon.” He sighed. “That’s been the misfortune of so many people I’ve known. Some of them are still living. You see, a car came by, and Its owner gave me a lift. To be perfectly frank, he sur rendered tlie wheel to Dewdrop with out a word. You know, I can’t help feeling you ought to have thought of that.” “I agree,” said Helena, shortly. “That was a bad mistake." “But the only one,” said Pharaoh. “Indeed, if I may say so, I'm much Impressed. Mr. Spencer's quite a good chauffeur —I'm sure of that, but only a brain in a thousand would have thought of abducting the Count.” Helena stared. “Are you being humorous?” “No,” said Pharaoh quietly. “Pm simply giving you the answer to a sim ple addition sum. As It’s very short. I’ll do it over again. . . .' You left the castle as I was approaching the bridge. In fact, I was able to cross it while Hubert —the faithful Hubert —was clos ing the wicket, before he re-entered the lodge. That's why he didn’t see me. But that’s by the way.. . . Well, I found your departure astounding. I mean, on the face of it, once you had gained the castle, to deliberately leave it was the act of a fool. But you are no fool, Lady Helena. ... I was still considering this paradox, when I found the postern ajar. I confess that helped me a lot —in more ,ways than one. And the moment I heard that the Count of Yorick was missing, the sum came out.” He uncrossed his legs and leaned forward. “Let me put some cards on the table. I want you to see that, if for no other reason, because you have scruples you are weighted clean out of this race. You see, I am not so embarrassed —I never am. Now take tonight. Placed as you were, once I was back in the castle, nothing this side of hell would have got me out. Yet the Count would have disappeared. Now there’s a little problem—which I will resolve. I assume he was drunk — forgive me, but he usually is by ten. Well, they say blood’s thicker than wa ter, but I never found It so. I should have dropped him gently into the moat. . . . Perhaps you think I’m bluffing. Let me tell you what happened tonight. I wanted a car —badly, and I took the first that came by. Well, that was against the law. By taking that car I offended the law and order —two in convenient gods. They therefore had to be sidetracked. . . . What is left of that car is lying on its side in a gully, it’s still burning—with the man it be longed to inside.” This recital was dreadful enough, but Pharaoh lent it a horror that made my blood run cold. “Are you seeking to frighten us?” Helena said. Pharaoh sat back. "No,” he said, smiling. “Only to open your eyes.” He glanced at his watch; “Dear, dear, a quarter to two. It’s far too late to discuss my mission tonight. If you’ll promise me one or two things—well, I daresay your room is ready—” he raised his eyes to the ceiling “ —and the room above yours.” “You insolent swine!’’ I roared. “If you think —” The sentence ended in a manner which I should like to forget. I yelped with pain, leaped from my seat on the table and swung about, smarting and furious, to face Dewdrop’s leveled pis tol some three feet away. The Jew had pricked my buttock with the blade of his knife. J hesitated, trembling with rage and desperately weighing the chances of an immediate attack. Fire upon me they dared not. Helena's arm was about my shoul ders, and her cool, slim hand on my, wrist. “Not that way, my darling, I beg you. Let me play the hand.” , “I entirely agree,” said Pharaoh. “You’re much too mutton-flsted. But you mustn’t become abusive. That’s really all Dewdrop meant.” “All right," I said thickly. “You play it. I'll manage to bide my time.” The clasp on my shoulders tightened, but that was all. “What terms," said Helena, quietly, “do you suggest?” “Your word that you will do nothing before midday. That at that hour you two will be here, to take up the same positions you now lay down. That you will give no orders and make no sort of statement which might correct the impression that I am your guest. In a word, I desire your parole—the pa role of you both.” “I give it," said Helena, quietly. "And Mr. Spencer?” said Pharaoh. Before I could speak— “l pledge his word,” said Helena. "That’s good enough,” said Pharaoh “Allow me to wish you good night.’ He bowed and turned to the door. “Come, Dewdrop.” he said. Half an hour had gone by, and I wae sitting, brooding, on the side of my bed. I was clad in the Count’s pajamas and was wearing his dressing-gown. I had cleansed myself In the bathroom and staunched my wound. This, of course, was nothing, but because it was deep. It had bled a deal more freely than I had supposed. It certainly ached a lit tle, but I was more hungry than hurt I needed food very badly—to help me, body and soul. Sleep was out of the question. Besides, I did not feel tired....

Property is a house with a few feet of ground around It, minus the mortgage and the difference be tween what you paid for It before 1929 and what you could get for it today. It is a motor car with a du bious trade-in value and household goods with great sentimental value but which would not bring much at a forced sale. It is a very valuable stamp col lection If you could find exactly the right person to buy it. It is a num ber of books which you imagined were first editions but that, some how, just miss out. It is a portrait that family tradition has always held to be the work of an old master but that leaves the art experts unmoved. It is a Chinese vase that may go back to the Ming dynasty if you could only make out what the Chi nese characters on the bottom mean. It is children that, according to law, will belong to you only a few years more, but who, in the mean time, are rather expensive to main tain in that manner of living to which they somehow seem to im agine they are entitled. It is acci dent insurance policies on which you can realize respectable sums by the simple process of losing an eye or an arm or a leg. It is sickness in surance policies that you can cash in upon by becoming an invalid, and life insurance policies that will be come worthwhile in the event of your death. It is, ostensibly, your soil. But, in view of all the considerations mentioned above, there is some doubt as to whether you can really call that your own. —Christopher Billopp in the Baltimore Evening Sun.

Armies Like Stuffed Effigy of a Prehistoric Monster The armies of 1914 had more than two months of grace before they lapsed into the stagnation of trench warfare. Nowadays the proportion of machine guns and other automatic Arearms lias Increased enormously. It is thus a safe deduction and pre diction that the armies of today would sink into trenches within a week —if they ever got to grips—for there is more than a possibility that these infantry bodies would be dis persed by air attack or hamstrung by the bombing of their transport while they were still groping for ward. The more one reflects upon the pres ent type of armies, which Is still the prewar type, with a few additions, the more do they appear like the stuffed museum efligy of some pre historic monster —harmless if horrl rying.—B.
