"Get them out of the place! Open

He stood cold and grave among them.
Some of them were already sneaking
toward the door-the ringleaders. the
takers from the towns. mindful Of
their own necks in this change of feel

Steinmetz hustled them out, bidding
them take their dead with them. Some
of the servants reappeared, peeping.

the last villager had crossed the thresh-

stairs; "leave them open."
Steinmetz in the drawing room look
ed at Paul with his resigned, semihu-
morous shrug of the shoulders.
"Touch and go, mein lieber!" he said.
"Yes; an end of Russia for u.s." an
swered the prince.
He moved toward the door leading
through to the old castle.

stretched out toward Eta, who lay
acrossShis feet. crouching against the
wall Death had found and left her in
an ATTITUDE Of fear, shielding lfer bow
ed head from blow with her up
raised hands. Her loosened hair fell
IN long wave Of gold down to the
bloodstained hand outstretched toward
her. She was kneeling in De Chaux
villes blood, which stained the stone
floor Of the passage.
Paul leaned forward and laid his
fingers on the bare arm just below a
bracelet which cleaned in the lamp
light. She wars quite dead. He held
a lamp close to her. There was no
mark or scratch upon her arm or shoul-
der. The blow which had torn her
hair down had killed her without any
Disagreement. The silken skirt of her
dress, which lay across the passage,
was trampled and stained by the tread
of hundred feet
Then Paul went to Claude de Chaux
vile. He stopped down and slipped
his skilled fingers inside the torn and
mud stained clothing. Here also was
death.
Paul stood upright and looked at
them as they lay. silent, motionless,
with their tale untold. Maggie and
Steinmetz stood watching him. He
went to the door, which was of solid
oak four inches thick. and examined
the fastenings. There had been no
damage done to bolt or lock or hinge.
The door had been opened from the
inside. He looked slowly around, meas
uring the distances.
"What is the meaning of it?" he said
at length to Steinmetz in dull voice.
Maggie WINGED at the sound of it.
Steinmetz did not answer at once,
I but hesitated, after the manner Of a
man weighing words which will never
be forgotten by their hearers.

slow, wise charity, the best of its kind,
'quite clear that De Chauxville died in
trying to save her. The rest must be
only guesswork."
