"Where do you live"
 'T work as teamster in the coal mines -yes? They are by Lamar, sir"
 Claiborne studied Oscars erect figure carefully.
 Let me see your hands," he com manded, and Oscar extended his palms.
 "You are lying; you do not work in the coal mines. Your clothes are not those of a miner. and discharged sol dier doesn't go to digging coal. Stand where you are, and 1t will be the worse for you if you try to bolt"
 Claiborne turned to the table with the envelope. It was not sealed, and he took out the plain sheet of note paper on which was written:
 cABLEGRAM. lWinlelrfed. Vienna.
 Not later than Friday.
 CHAUvENET. Claiborpe read and reread these eight words; then he spoke bluntly to Oscar. Where did you get thisT'
 "From the hat of the sheep stealer mp yonder."
 "Who is he and where did he get il? T don't know, sir. He was of Ser via, and they are an ugly race-yes"' What were you going to do with the paperw
 Oscar grinned.
 'Tf could read it-yes?-I might know, but if Austria is in the paper then 1t is mischief, and maybe 1t would be murder. Who knows?" Claiborne looked frowningly from the paper to Oscars tranquil eyes.
 'sDickw called Shirley from the hall, and she appeared in the doorway, drawing on her gloves, but paused at lseeing Oscar.
 Shirley, caught this man in the ,sheepfold. Did you ever see him be- kore?"
 T think not, Dick"
 ''It was he that brought your horse home."
 "To be sure it is! I hadn't recog- nized him. Thank you very much" And she smiled at Oscar
 Dick drowned fiercely and referred again to the paper.
 "Where is Nj. Chauvenet-have you any idea?'
 If he isn't at the hotel or in Wash ington, I'm sure I don't know. If we are going to the dance''-
 Plague the dance! I heard a shot in the sheep pasture a bit ago and ran out to find this fellow in a row with another man, who got away"
 T heard the shot and the dogs from my window. You seem to have been in fuss, too, from the looks of your clothes" And Shirley sat down and smoothed her gloves with provoking coolness.
 Dick sent Oscar to the far end of the library with gesture and held up the message for Shirley to read.
 Don't touch itr' he exclaimed, and when she nodded her head in sign that she had read it he said, speaking ear nestly and rapidly:
 q suppose l have no right to hold this message; must send the man to the hotel telegraph office with it. But where is Chauvenet? What is his busi- ness in the valley? And what is the link between Vienna and these hills?" Don't you know what you are doing here?" she asked, and he flushed "I know what, but not why" he blurted irritably. "But that's enough" ''You know that Baron von Marhof wants to find MT. John Armitage, but

proacn, and they cried aloud as the great figure appeared before them and the lamp light fell upon his dark. blood smeared face.
 "The letters" snapped Chauvenet
 "Is the message safeT demanded Durand.
 Lost! Lost! They are lost! I lost my way, and he nearly killed mc-the little soldier-as crossed a strange field"
 When they had jerked the truth from Zmai, Chauvenet NCng open the door and bawled through the house for the hnkeeper.
 Horses! Saddle our two horses quick, and get another If you have to steal it." he screamed. Then he turned into the room to curse Zmai. while Durand with towel and water sought to ease the ache in the big fellows head and cleanse his face.
 "So that beggarly little servant did 1t, did he? He stole that paper I had given you. did he? What do you i'm. agine I brought you to this country for If you are to let two stupid fools play with you as though you were a clown" ..H.
 The Servian, on his knees before Durand, suffered the torrent of abuse meekly. He was a scoundrel. hired to do murder, and his vilifcation by an angered employer did not greatly trou- ble him, particularly since he under stood little of Chauvenet's rapid Ger man.
 In half an hour Chauvenet was again in fury, learning at Lamar that the operator had gone down the road twenty miles to a dance and would not be back until morning.
 The imperturbable Durand shivered in the night air and prodded Chauve- net with ironies.
 We have no time to lose. That message must go tonight. You may be sure NJ. Armltage will not send 1t for us. Come, we've got to go down to Storm Springs"
 They rode away in the starlight, leav- ing the postmaster alarmed and won- dering. Chauvenet and Durand were we'll mounted on horses that Chauvenet had sent into the hills in advance of his own coming. Zmai rode grim and si- lent on a clumsy blow horse, which was the best the publican could find for him. The knife was not the only weapon he had known in Servia. He carried potato sack across his saddle bow. Chauvenet and Durand sent him ahead to set the pace with his inferior mount. They talked together in low tones as they followed.
 He is not so big fool. this Armi- tage," remarked Durand. "He is quite deep, in fact. wish 1t were he we are trying to establish on a throne and not that pitiful scapegrace in Vienna"

 Then he would not be safe king. Our young friend in Vienna Is a good deal of a fool and altogether cow. ard. We shall have to provide him with spine at his coronation"
 "If we fail'- began Chauvenet.

REVIVAL Is STARTED
Evangelist R. W. Abberly at the
