so that it would not operate. Then,

knew it, so in his stronghold he en-
ploycd his leisure time in playing chess
with his immediate friends Reports
kept coming in from the outposts each
one more disheartening than the last.
But the count stfll went on playing
chess, while the utmost good humor
and pleasant raillery continued among
the whole party. Yet another messen-
ger from the outposts came in, which
left no doubt as to the situation Still
the count and his companions went on
slaying. "Your move, sir" were the
words that brose the absorption of the
moment. Then when there was Il
pause in the game at which ne could
rise without being discourteous to his
guests the count got up and said, Gen
tlclnen, now it is time He directed
some one to send for his sword bearer.
The man advanced and Immediately
received his orders. \ few seconds
later Count SaiSo's body and head had
been separated at one heavy blow.
