CHAPTER II.
"a Gentleman of the Guard"

Shortly before $3.50 Hollywood pre-

dorf occupied in his capacity of first
minister of state. After some slight
delay he was ushered into a comfort
able study. where he found Selpdorf
with a reading lamp at his elbow,
papers that he threw one after another,
with apparent carelessness, on the floor
beside him.
The chancellor of small state might
very well have been pardoned had ne
introduced a certain amount of What
an old official used to call desk dig
nifty" into his dealings with those who
approached him, but Selpdorf habitu-
ally affected an easy manner and an
easy chair. He was a middle-sized
man, possessed of very round head,
bald at the crown. but having still a
lock of dark hair on the summit of his
round forehead: very round eyes set
far back in smooth holes. showing little
lid: a nose blunt and thick over lips
that might have been coarse. but were
controlled and betrayed a lurking
humor at the corner, to which the up
standing mustache seemed to add
point For all his popularity of aspect,
he was a man who left an impression
on the memory of something pleasing
and attractive, especially in the minds
of women.
He received Hollywood with that air
of deep personal interest which told
with such happy effect on those whom
he desired to influence.
"Ah. my dear lieutenant, understood
you were in Revonde. and took ad-
vantage of your presence to put into
effect little plan which had been for
some time in contemplation / recol-
lect having had the pleasure of meet

among his comrades. but always re-
naming lieutenant to whom the state
owed eighteen months arrears of pay
Hollywood, in return, owed To Maasau
only the qualified service for an unpaid
man, but gave it the full devotion of a
capable officer.
AS to Counsellor, no one could quite
account for his presence at Revonde at
the present moment. He was supposed
to be attached in some indefinite way to
the legation, but he described himself
as a bird of passage, whose appearance
in any European capital simply meant
whim or pleasure, for he was growing
old and lazy, and couIG not be brought
to account for his wanderings. which,
he assured those who Ventured 10 in
quire, were chiefly undertaken i'll search
of health. Nevertheless, wherever he
went or came something interesting in
a political sense-and more often than
not in favor of British interests-was
almost sure to happen.
In former days he had filed the po-
sition of military attache to two or
three of the most important embassies,
and was said to be the best known man
in Europe. He had, moreover, the right
to carry upon his breast the ribbon and
decoration of more than one exclusive
and distinguished order. OF the many
rumors associated with him this saying
was certainly true, that one could never
enter the smoking. room of any diplo-
matte club in any city in Europe with
out standing a fair chance of encoun-
tering Major Counsellor warming him.
self beside the stove.
Therefore, he had naturally an enor-
nous circle of acquaintance, each in
dividual knowing very little about him,
though he always formed an interest
ing subject of conversation, and a po-
litical opinion backed by his name be-
came at once important.

chancellor, in railying manner. The
young man made no reply. though the
obvious one was in his mind.

They're no more officers than you are.

Duncan took the engineer into the
house, and his reply was lost to the lis
teners in the room above. Thorndyke
turned to the old mountaineer. you

When Kilgrow had gone, Thorndyke
went down to the sitting-room, but
neither there, nor afterwards at supper,
did Duncan or Protheroe refer to the
unwelcome visitors; and Thorndyke
knew that the wary Scot had succeeded
in satisfying Protheroe's curiosity
without duplicating Kilgrow.
The young engineer brought letters
for Philip, one of which was reserved to
be read in the privacy of the attic bed
room. 1t was from Helen, and Philips
conscience bit him when he tore it open.
Then he smiled at his misgivings as he
read through the closely-written pages.

The nations of Europe, most anxious
for the extension of their authority,
are making no end Of plans by which
their power and trade may be carried
into new possessions. Africa Is pretty
well divided up between Great Britain,
France, Germany and Italy, and China
has been obliged to yield possession to
much valuable territory to Russia and
some Of the other powers Of Europe.
Quite recently plans have been disclos-
ed which, If carried out, VIII soon re-
suit IN the division of the Persian en-
plre between Great Britain and Russia.
IL has been no secret that for years
Russia has been extending her influence
over the northern section Of that en-
pire, while Great Britain has been
equally interested In the southern pOr-
ton. 1t was anticipated that this state
of affairs would ultimately result IN n
clash between the two nations. But 1t
Is now reasonably well assured that
those two powers have come to an
agreement regarding the division of
Persia. and that each will take its
mOlety and be satisfied. The line Of d.
vision comedies very closely with the
31st parallel of north latitude, which
would give Russia the larger area, but
Great Britain the most valuable portion
of the country. Russia now touches the
northeastern boundary Of Persia, from
the Afghanistan frontier to the Cas-
plan Sea, while Persia at no point Joins
British India, Afghanlstau and Balu-
chistan being between. 1t should be
said, however, that while II portion of
Baluchistan is Independent some OF
the provinces are governed by Great
Britain, while the provinces Of Sibl,
Plshln and some others were assigned
TO Great Britain by the treaty of Gund-
nmuk some years ago. For Il number
Of years the Persian empire has been
dislntegrating and II has only been be-
cause neither Russia nor Great Britain
has cared to pick the fruit too early,
which must soon drop into their hands,
that the empire has so long existed.
That Persia is fabulously rich in miner
ais is unquestioned. and that its people
are shocking poor is well attested. The
curse OF the empire has been its gov
eminent and It's religion. Whatever
Persia has suffered under bad rulers
has been intensified under the present
Shah. who is not only drunkard, but
wholly under the control Of the priests,
who are Expressing the people. The
death OF Mazafer, the present Shah,
will be followed by the immediate dlvi-
sion Of the empire. even II it is delayed
SO long.
