Good God, how helpless | am! Young
Won Taun went to Versailles yesterday;
he may return any moment. You un-
dcrstand, dear mademoiselle. He may
return tonight and they will kill me,
for he will tell them that my papers
are forged. If | cannot get away from
here before he comes, mademOiselle-"
Some one turned the handle of the
door, and he fell back in the bed again,
and lay as though sleeping. The intruder
was the pseudO-cavalry officer who had
encountered Dolores upon the stairs.
He thrust a grinning face around the
door, and asked a childish question:
Come downstairs and play to us,
mademoise1le Old Brachelli has fine
piano. | promise you they cannot hear
note from the street. That fellow
Eberhart there has monopolized you long
enough Come and amuse the others. "
She turned her back upon him and
made no reply. When he had condescend-
ed to depart, having uttered many
pleasantries, the wounded man sat up
again and continued his story.
Don't be frightened of them, mad
emoiseIle," he said earnestly. My pistol
is under my pillow. Use it if they
threaten you. 1 shall want it tonight,
when Won Taun comes back. Good
God they would tear me in pieces!"
He paused moment, as though sud
denly conscious of his situation and its
meaning. Then anticipating her ques-
ton, he continued quickly: "Listeni
The papers l carry were stolen by me
from the German spy Eberhart. He
was not among these men here, but
attached to the Crown Princes staff.
Our fellows shot him, and | took his
papers | should have been discovered
two days ago in the trenches at Avron,
but | shot the man who tracked me
down. That where got my hurt. Then
Muller came up, and l showed him the
papers to save my life. He brought me
here, and you know the rest. Mademoi-
selle, he believes me to be Ernest Eber-
hart. Are you listening, mademo1sellet
Very well, he will learn who | am when
the messenger returns from Versailles,
and then, mademoiselle, and then"
The effort cost him much, and he
crouched down in the bed, shivering
with pain and fear What to say to him,
how to promise him deliverance, was
beyond the wit of the brave girl by his
side She could only say: I'VE will
face it together; | will answer for you.
Even for this the opportunities were
brief enough; and the lads story scarcely
had been told when the German returned,
and asked, still smiling, if they had need
of anything.
YES" she said quickly; for now an
idea came to her as upon a voice of her
salvation. ''Yes, lieutenant | have need
of something; but it is not in this house. "
''Ah, a carriage and pair, mademoi-
selle-that is your need, no doubt?'
She shrugged her shoulders, as though
despairing of his common-sense, and
continued: Captain Muller-I beg your
pardon, Captain Collingwood, though l
have reason to believe that they are
one and the same person-Captain Col
lingwood, then, has left instructions that
messenger is at my disposal
1.-Two messengers, twenty messengers,

1essly upon his bed The German, on
his part, did not know how to answer her.
The request came 50 unexpectedly and
yet was so reasonable that plea for its
refusal did not occur to him readily.
More than that, he believed her when
she said that his Captain had pledged
himself so far
The messenger shall certainly GO
he said hesitatingly. Il will be careful
to select one we can trust. There are
pens and ink on the table here, if you
wish to write. Is it quite impossible to
tell me what you want, mademolsellet L
was never much in love with the pen when
one can do without it.
IF you were a doctor, lieutenant,
could tell you; but you are not, and
therefore you will not understand. Oh,
don't let me alarm you. | am going to
ask you to read every word | write.
Her candor disarned him; and stand
ing with his back to the fireplace he lit
a cigar and watched her at the table.
The moment was one of the most critical
he or sne would ever live through. Here
lay salvation at the pens point, if she
could only sufficiently command her in
ventive faculties. How to tell Paris the
story of Count Brachelli's house, and yet
so tell it that this BOBBY might not
perceive it, that was the problem before
her For an instant she dwelt upon her
thoughts then began to write swiftly.
Here is the list, lieutenant. Please
read it for yourself"
He bowed and took the paper. Il

with a laugh. Where did you learn
it all, mademoiselle?'
Your guns conferred my diploma
upon me- My practice is in the homes
of the poor.
And they teach you to sign your
prescriptions with your name? Come,
mademoiselle, that won't do here!"
The insolence brought the blood to her
cheeks. She took the paper from him
with a gesture of disdain, and sat again
at the table "There!" she said, writing
it for the second time ''Will that sat
isfy you?"
He merely glanced at it. 1--WE shall
give Eberhart dose together just now,
he said as he went to the door. Don't

please leave mel" she said. "And
if you would save your friends life,
bid them make haste"
The messenger was absent for halt
an hour: but when he returned the man
who called himself Captain Colhngwood,
but whose real name was Muller, returned
with him, and received an account of the
request and of its execution. y few words
exchanged with the lieutenant appeared
to satisfy him; and when he inspected the
purchases, the lotion, the dressing and
the linen bandages, he seemed entirely re-
assured.
The account they gave me of your
wisdom is correct, nademOiselle, he
said. Il shall hope to express my
obligation better when | return to my
own country. 1t may be that we shall
be compelled to leave this house at an
earlier moment than | had counted upon.
