1t was a simple rendering OF a tremend-
Gus problem. but it served for Rallywood.
Then" said Counsellor.
There was a rush and a scufle, but Rally
wood was young and strong and more ac-
tive than the major.
"Confound you!" Counsellor fell back a
step or two, breathing hard. There are some
situations which by their elemental force
destroy all other emotions. The situation at
Kofn guardhouse was one OF these. The
point at issue between these two men
pierced to the bedrock of national loyalty.
Perhaps Blivinski was right. Love OF coun-
try was part OF their physical equipment, yet
by the irony OF circumstances they were
pitted against each other.
"wnl you give me your p~arole2" asked
Hollywood with his back to the door.
Counsellor drew out a big watch.
For fifteen minutes" he said. "It IN now
half past o; at forty-fve minutes past I shall
hold myself once more free to do what 1
can. You understand In the meantime we
will talk"
Counsellor put his watch back into hi.

Rallywood stood up.

piled Counsellor. slowly, but II you were
my own son, by heaven. I'd blow your
brains out tonight! Give me those dis
patches"
There was a rapid movement, and the
CLEAN of a pistol barrel in his hand.
Thank God!" It was not more than the
~faintest whisper from Hollywood as he
sprang at his companion.
But there was no report, only an ominous
click as Counsellor flung the unloaded re-
volver in Rallywood's face with a bitter
word.

Hardly had they closed when the door was
Unfair into the room. The water ran in
streams from his clothes to the floor, while
he stood and stared at the two combatants,
who had fallen apart.
II suppose they sent you to meet me,
Rallywood," he said in English. "It Is lucky.
for In done! You must carry those dis
patches on without delay. for they must
reach the chancellor at the earliest possible
moment. Go; there is no time to lose!'
Hollywood pointed to Counsellor.
This gentleman is my prisoner. You will
keep him here until further orders. Mean
time l will ride on with these to Revonde."
Counsellor and Unfair remained together.
bu. no word passed between them till out in
the windy night they heard the beat of hoofs
as Hollywood rode away on his mission.

Words which embody the opinion OF more

II was 8 o'clock when an officer OF the
guard, leaving the wind-swept darkness Of
the country behind him. rode through the
north gate Of Revonde into the vivid black
and white perspective Of the city. where
close outside the brilliant line of electric
lights night herself seemed to stand incar-
mated. a Jealous intensity Of blackness.
Hollywood had picked UP Unziar's relays
OF horses at certain points, and on the whole
had made good time of the ride. Now he
crossed the bridge that lies opposite to the
gate of the palace and mounted the curving
streets toward the Chancellerie.
He swung from his horse at the foot OF
the broad fight Of granite steps under its
overhanging portico as a carriage dashed up
on the other side. The high doors above were
flung open and a roll of red cloth dropped

She clasped her hands nervously, the bare
shapely hands with their cleaning rings,
and Hollywood watched her and felt as II
he were dreaming.
Captain R%allywood, / want to thank you.
l can never thank you enough for that night
at Kofn Ford. l understood-pray believe
l understood it-and l think you are the
noblest gentleman alive!"
Rallywood did not hesitate. There was
one thing Valerie should know and be GER
tain OF in the uncertain future.
Give me a moment, mademoiselle,' he
exclaimed, OBTAINING her. IL see you do not
quite understand. l could not expect you to
understand. But now-now that l am
leaving Nassau, | must tell you the truth.
Perhaps you will believe 1t some day. l am
proud"
II knew 1t, and yet you-o, say no more!

to wander a little was too sweet. You

his fingers, then laid his hand over hers de-

which he did everything, and which she had
grown to love-"and ever since i have car

dizziness Of use until it reached the carriage.
AS she alighted Mile. Selpdorf recognized
the tall figure in the travel-stained riding
cloak.
Captain Rallywood, where have you come
from ?" she asked almost involuntarily.
From the frontier, mademoiselle.'
''Will you give me your arm? What has
happened? Has Major Counsellor came
back 2" she whispered as they went UP the
steps.
"He Is at the ford. He has met with an
accident"
Valerie said no more, but as she entered
the hall she read Rallywood's face.
Has his excellency returned?" she asked
Of an attendant. Then place refreshments
in the small library. Captain Hollywood, l
will join you in a few moments. M. selp-
dorf will be nome very soon. He Is anxious
to see you"
1t was a little necessary make-believe be-
fore the numerous servants. How far 1t de-
ceived them may be family guessed when
one considers any ones secrets in relation
to any ones servants.
Man designs his own game" thought
Rallywood as he followed the servant into
whose charge he was given, "or he is forced
to stand out and circumstances play 1t for
him. In the years all is one"
Whichever way the issue of this nights
work turned, Nassau and Valerie must both
pass from his life forever. The one supreme
obstacle which turks always beside the
mercenary's path had arisen to bar his ad-
vance at last.
Valerie opened the door softly. She was
fran, hing and afraid hut she Wnul1 mot he
outdone In generosity by Rallywood. She
had determined to thank him for the words
spoken at Kofn Ford, and to show him how
entirely she comprehended their chiyalrous
intention. But when her eyes fell upon him
all thought of self faded. He was standing
midway between the cleaning wine and
glass of the side table and the pickering glow
of the open stove, upright and stately, as he
ever appeared to her, but in his new atti-
tude her sharpened senses perceived a sug-
gestion OF disheartenment and solitude.
Swept away by the feeling of the moment,
she crossed the room to his side and laid
her hand upon his arm.
"Wha is it? Something has happened"
she said.
Hollywood looked down at her. The beau
tiful eyes like starlit darkness, her clear
hued loneliness, the soft, dusky curls above
ner brow, ner slrllsh reserve ana petulances,
all her sweet, unapproachable personality
enhanced to pain the knowledge that he was
looking his last upon them.

has succeeded? Then why are you so sad?"
sad. mademoiselle?" he answered with a
smile. Men often look sad when they are
only hungry and dog-tired."
Then eat, I" she said. Let me give you
some wine"
She drew him to a table and poured out
a glass OF wine.
ITO the success OF Nassau and OF Eng
land, she said. Then touching il with her
lips in the graceful fashion OF Nassau, she
handed II to him.

"Selpdorf is the man Of the hour" Coun-
sellor once said to Rallywood, and the ma
jor's sayings had a trick Of lingering in the
memory. With the chancellor there still re-
manned the key to the situation. He was
implicated in the conspiracy, but he had less
to gain and far more to lose than the others.
A dangerous condition and one possible OF
development.
All this passed in a fash through Rally
woods mind as the opposite door opened
to admit NJ. Selpdorf, who replied stifly to
Rallywood's bow.

thought Selpdorf.
"Ah, Major Counsellor? And these are
the dispatches"
"These are Major Counsellor's private dis
patches, which were stolen from him within
the frontier of Maasau!" said Hollywood.
Selpdorf's round eyes showed their lids in
an odd flicker. The attack was sudden. He
brushed his moustache upwards with a
thoughtful movement of the finger and
thumb, regarding Hollywood as he did so.
Then why have you brought them to
me?" he said at last.
Because a soldier should see no further
than the point of his sword, your excellency."
replied Hollywood slowly.
Good! And how do you come to know

Selpdorf was touched. He liked Rally

An old oyster captain. who has done bust

of the larger ones go to Baltimore when a

RELEASE OF THE SPANISH.
Nothing Heard Regarding Aguinsldo's
RESPONSE to the American Request.

The Spanish minister, the Duke de Ar
cos. called at the State Department yester-
day to learn the prospects as to the re-
lease of the Spanish prisoners held in the
Philippines Thus far nothing has been
heard as to the measure of success attend
ing the dispatch of a message from Pres
ident Mckinley to Aguinaldo concerning
the Spanish captves, but II is assumed
from the recent forward movement of the
American troops and the scattering Of the
Filipinos that some difficulty has been ex-
perienced by General Macarthur in de-
liyering the message.
The American advance has resulted IN
freeing scattered bands, about 81 to 80 in
all and besides these 200 sick prisoners are
about to be released and put aboard an
American ship now on the way north TO
receive them. There remain about 1900 or
1900 Spanish prisoners in the hands of the
insurgents.

The Wrecked Spanish Destroyer.

Regarding the report from Santiago that
the wreckers now at work on the Spanish
destroyer Furor had discovered that the
vessel in question might have been raised
and repaired. IT is said at the Navy De-
partment that this subject was thoroughly
canvassed by an officers board soon after
the battle of Santiago, and that while II is
true that one or the other OF the Destroy
ers might have been raised and repaired, 1t
was considered certain at that time that il
would cost about twice as much to put her
into commission as II would to build new
vessel Of the Same class.
