He trusted no one, and this accounted
for his presence in Geneva in March
Of the year 1903, whittier he had gone
agents whom he had lately dispatched
to Paris on an errand of peculiar deli
cacy. The agents had failed in their
mission, and Won Stroebel was not
tolerant of failure.
1t was not often that the light in the
old mans eyes was as gentle as now.
He had sent his secret agents away
and was to return to Vienna on the
following day. The young man whom
he now entertained in his apartments
received his whole attention. He pick
ed up the card which lay on the table
and scrutinized it critically, while his
eyes lighted with sudden humor.
The card was a gentleman's carte de
visite and bore the name John Armi-
tage.
II believe this is the same alias you
were using when l saw you in Paris.
Where did you get it?" demanded the
minister.
II rather liked the sound of it, so l
had the cards made" replied the young
man. Besides, it's English, and 1
pass readily for an Englishman.
have quite got used to it."
(Which is not particularly creditable,
but it's probably just as well So"
II hope you are WELL" said Armitage
kindly.
II am not. am anything but well. l
am an old man, and I have had no
rest for twenty years."
''It is the penalty Of greatness. 1t is
Austria's good fortune that you have
devoted yourself to the affairs of gov
ernment. I have read-only today in
the Contemporary Review-an admira-
BILE tribute to your sagacity in han
ding the Servian affair. Your work
was mastery. I followed it from the
beginning with deepest interest"
The old gentleman bowed half un-
consciously, for his thoughts were far
away, as the vague stare in his small,
shrewd eyes indicated.
"But you are here for rest. One
comes to Geneva at this season for
nothing else"
"What brings you here?" asked the
old man, with sudden energy. "If the
papers you gave me in Paris are for
geries and you are waiting
"Yes. Assuming that. what should I

while he waited for Armitage to ex-
plain why he expected to see Ram
baud in Geneva.
''He is interested in certain young
woman. She reached here yesterday,
and Rambaud, alias Chauvenet, is
quite likely to arrive within a day or
So"
"Jules Chauvenet is the correct
name. l must inform my men," said
the minister.
you wish to arrest him?
"You ought to know me better than
that, Mr.. John Armitage! OF course
shall not arrest him. But 1 must get
that packet. 1 can't have it peddled
all over Europe, and I can't advertise
my business by having him arrested
here If l could catch him once in
Vienna I should know what to do with
him. He and Winkelried got hold of
our plans in that Bulgarian affair last
year and checkmated me. He carries
his wares to the best buyers-Berlin
and st. Petersburg. So there's a wo-
man, is there? I've found that there
usually iSv'
There's a very charming young
American girl, to be more exact"
The old man growled and eyed Armi-
tage sharply, while Armitage studied
the photograph.
II hope you are not meditating a
preposterous marriage. Go back where
you belong, make a proper marriage
and watt
"Eventsr' And John Armitage laugh
ed. II tell you, sir, that waiting is not
my forte. That's what l like about
America. They're up and at it over
there. The man who waits is lost"
They're a lot Of swinev' rumbled
Won StroebeIs heavy bass.
II still owe allegiance to the Schom-
burg crown, so don't imagine you are
hitting me. But the swine are indus
trious and energetic. Who knows but
that John Armitage might become ia
nous among them-in politics, in
finance! But for the deplorable acci-
dent of foreign birth he might be
come president of the United States.
As it is, there are thousands of other
Offices worth getting-why not?
81 tell you not to be fool. You are
young and fairly clever"
Armitage laughed at the reluctance
of the counts praise.
"Thank you. with all my heart"
"Go back where you belong and you
will have no regrets. Something may
happen-who can tell? Events-events

about it? Can we kick him out Of the
, army without q scandal? Don't you
suppose he could 60 to Budapest to-
morrow and make things interesting
for US if he pleased? He's as full Of
treason as he can stick, tell you"
Armitage nodded and smiled.
81 dare say" he said in English, and
when the old statesman glared at him
he said in German, "No doubt you are
speaking the truth"
"Of course l speak the truth, but
this is a matter for action and not for
discussion. That packet was stolen by
intention and not by chance. John Ar
mitage!"
There was a slight immaterial sound
in the hall, and the old prime minister
slipped from German to French with
out changing countenance as he con-
tinued:
1--WE have enough troubles in Austria
without encouraging treason. If Ram
baud and his chief, Winkelried, could
make a king Of Francis, the brokerage
the commission-would be something
handsome, and Winkelried and Ram
baud are clever men,"
Il know Of Winkelried. The conti-
mental press has given much space to
him of late, but Rambaud is a new
name"
"He is a skilled hand. He is the
most daring scoundrel in Europe"
Count Won Stroebel poured glass of
brandy from a silver flask and slipped
it slowly.
81 will show you the gentleman's
pleasant countenance," said the minis
ter, and he threw open leather port
folio and drew from it a small photo
graph, which he extended to Armitage,
who glanced at it carelessly and then
with sudden interest.
"Rambaudw he exclaimed.
"That's his name in Vienna. In
Paris he is something else. l will fur
nish you a list of his noms de guerre."
THANK you. l should like all the
information you care to give me. But
it may amuse you to know that |

"That is possible" remarked the
old man, who never evinced surprise
in any circumstances.
81 expect to see him here within a
few days."
Count Won Stroebel held up his emp
ty glass and studied it attentively
The Sauk Centre herald., 1908-07-23

ed John Armitage, to whom he had
spoken. "You have lost none of your
old amiability. but for renowned diplo-
mat you are remarkably frank. When
I called on you in Paris a year ago 1
was able to render you'll believe you
admitted it-a slight service"
Count Ferdinand Won Stroebel bowed
slightly. but did not take his eyes from
the young man who sat opposite him
in his rooms at the Hotel Monte Rosa
In Geneva. On the table between them
stood an open dispatch box, and about
1t lay number of packets of papers
which the old gentleman, with char
acteristic caution, had removed to his
own side Of the table before admitting
his caller. He was burly old man,
with massive shoulders and q great
head thickly covered with iron gray
hair.
