Last year there WAS no race as Il

of October, the event will be held on
the Long Island motor parkway, built
at a great expense mainly for the pur-
pose. With many of the best cars made
in this country entered and number
of foreign cars expected, there IS ev-
crv expectation that the race Will be
a notable event. Much fun will come on
this same course on Oct. 10, when the
elimination race is held
That these races have attracted more
attention than all others IN this coun-

motorists do not deny. That the pub

Il Vanderbilt is held is common knoWl-

race in some quarters the effect will
not be serious, it is declared; though
OF course something may be taken
away from it in the line of foreign en-
tries.
Much of the course will be ready for
the elimination tests. That the course
will be the fastest ever prepared for a
race, with the possible exception Of
that at Savannah is the belief. There
was places on it where it will be pos
siblc to get speed as high as 20 miles

to anything, and a great part Of the

of the c,.Ilr@r is on the level

before the emperor could take back his
word and revoke the cession of Te-
nedos. For Zeno did not put his trust
in oriental princes and feared the
Greeks even when they offered gifts.
With a swift Venetian vessel and a
fair wind the coveted island could be
reached in two days, or even less: it's

the deed which Goriias had thrust into
Zeno's hand In the tower, and If once

it down.

that comes into a master swordsman's s

cause his adversary has tried some

But zeno said nothing as he strobe
swiftly by his companions side.
Gorlias had found her and had
brought her into the lower chamber OF
the tower, now deserted by the guards.
The captains wife had been standing
at the door. not daring to go out among

She had taken the girl on her knees

other to see. but they were not all
silent now; for there were brave men
among them, savage adventurers from
the wild mountains beyond the Black
sea. who feared neither God. nor eni-
peror, nor man; and they did not like
the sight they saw. and they said words
10 one another in strange tongues
which the Greeks could not understand.
Andronicus counted slowly to 20. and
then still more slowly to 40. and the
tortured girls sharp breathing irri-
tated him.
Speak he cried. in tone that was
low and angry Tell me where the
danger is. or the thing shall eat out
your heartw
Then the answer came. but not in
Zoe's voice, nor by one voice. but by
many, loud and deep: and though the
words were confused, some could be
heard well enough; and they told the
loose-lipped cowardly youth where the
danger was. for it was upon him.
Johannes, Johannes reigns God and
the emperor, Emperor Johannes
That was what the voices shouted
from the gate, as the multitude swept
in, driving the sentinels and guards be-
forefthem as the gale drives dry leaves.

horseback in the torchlight, dressed in
cloth of gold with the imperial head
dress on his head. for he knew well
enough that so long as the key Of the
upper prison hung at his own belt Jo-
hannes could not get out. Yet there
was no mistaking the cry of the people
and his wife urged him not to lose
time.
The crowd was surging toward the
tower now, led by Zeno and the en-
peror, and they and their sailors and
dockmen kept in front of the crowd
to be the first to dismount and enter
the tower. and then the sailors kept
the throng back. telling them that
Johannes had gone in to free his
youngest son, and the two men who
had the deep bags Of money threw
lavish handfuls to the people to amuse
them while they waited.
But when Zeno and the emperor
came out again Johannes face was all
hung loosely on his shoulders; and by
the glare of many torches every one
knew that it was Johannes himself,
and none other, and men checred and
yelled till they were hoarse.
After the emperor and Zeno came a
man whom no one had seen go in with
them, and he had very scanty dark
beard ana was dressed IN quiet brown,
though he wore a horseman's boots,
and he was Gorlias Pietrogliant. who
had acted so we'll the part which Zoe
had imagined for him.
But Zeno knew nothing of Arethusa,
yesterday his slave. and since last
right the woman of his heart for In
the haste and stress OF that tremen-
dous half hour. Gorlias could tell him
nothing, except that he was Gorlias
and not the emperor. and that the deed
giving Tenedos over to Venice was
sfgneds and in his bosom; and Zeno
supposed that he had devised all the
wonderful scheme, which looked SO
simple as soon az 1t began to be car
ried out. Arethusa, he thought, was
safe at home; sleepless. worn out with
waiting. trembling with anxiety, per-
haps, but safe.
Now that the deed was done, now
that Andronicus was bound, and Jo-
hannes. his father. was restored to the
throne. Carlo Zeno thought only OF
leaving Constantinople without delay

And there he rode surely enough to
the front rank of the multitude, on the
right hand of Emperor John. She
knew him. though the last gray light
was fading from the sky. She would
have known him in the dark il seemed
to her that If she had been blind she
would have known that. he was near;
and her joy rose in her throat. after
the torture she had endured. and al
most choked her. so that she reeled
unsteadily and gasped for breath
The Emperor John sat quite still on
his horse. wrapped in his cloak, but
Zeno rode forward. till he was almost
upon the knot of the guards who had
pulled down Andronicus, and he threw
up his hand, crying out to the men not
to kill. in a voice that dominated the
terrific din; and he was but Just in
time, for he was only obeyed because
he offered a reward.
Ten pounds of gold for Andronicus
alive!" he shouted.
For that was the price Andronicus
had set on his head that morning, and
what was enough for Zeno was enough
for an emperor. So half a dozen of
the palace, and bound him securely
with his hands behind him. and stripped
off his jewels and his gold, and kicked
him into a small secret room behind the
porters lodge, and shut the door.
There the corpse faced man was squat

Goals to a glow in an earthen pan. be-
cause he might soon be called to do
more work, and unless the vinegar was
really boiling hot the fumes OF it would
not put out the eyesight. AS Androni-
Gus lay on fhe floor he could see the
man.
But outside the confusion grew and
the noise increased as the people
poured into the vast courtyard and
pressed behind upon those who had en-
tered before them.
Then the door Of the tower in the
corner was opened from within and the
African mutes came out and Joined the
other soldiers. and from an upper WIN
dow the captain and his wife looked
down, and by the help of what she told
him he understood that it was time to
set his prisoner free. II he did not mean
to risk being torn to shreds by the
people. though he could not at all un-

the wall, for there was no furniture of
any sort there Zoe's head lay upon the
shoulder of the big woman. who gently
smoothed and patted the soft brown
hair and rocked the light figure on her
knees with a side motion as nurses do.
She did not know what was the matter,
but she recognized the girl who had
brought the message and who had been
caught outside the door.
Then Zeno came, and in a moment he
was close beside Zoe. resting one knee
on the stone bench, bending down and
very tenderiy lifting the lovely head
into his own arm.
She knew his touch: she turned her
face up with a great effort. for she had
hardly any strength left. and her lids
that were but half closed like dying
persons. quivered and opened. and for
one instant her eyes were full of light
Her voice came to him from far off. al
most from the other world.
Safe. All, thank God, 1t was worth
the PAIN"
Then she tainted quite away in his
arms. but he knew that she was not
dying. for he had seen many pass from
life. and the signs were familiar to him.
He gathered her to him and carried
her lightly through the open door.
where Gorlias was ready: and Gorlias
knew where Vito was waiting with the
skin at the old landing not far below
the tower. and he helped the boatman
to row them home.
Thus ended that long day, which had
so nearly been zoe's last and Zeno's
too: and when she opened her eyes
again and found herself lying on her
own dfvan under the soft light OF the
lamps, and looked into his anxious low
Ing face. all the WEAKNESS sank away
from her own, and for an. instant she
felt as strong as IL she had freshly
walked from rest; then she put up her
arms together, though it hurt her very
much to lift the left one, and she
elapsed her hands round his handsome
brown neck and drew him down to her
without word.
1t was only for a moment. Her
strength failed her again, and he felt
her little hands relax: so he kneit down
by the divan and laid his cheek upon
the edge Of her pillow. so that he could
look into her face. and they both smiled:
and his smile was anxious. but hers was
satisfied. He did not know what they
had done to her, but he was sure that
she needed care.

cian?"
No. Stay with me. Let me look at

Her speech came In short, soft
phrases. like kisses from lips half
asleep, when there Is little dream
between each sentence and the next
But even when she was asleep he still
knelt beside her, and now and then her
body quivered, and she drew a sharp
breath suddenly as IL the pain she had
borne ran through her again. though

The San Francisco call., 1908-05-31

With but one breathing space for
thought and resolve, the guards in their
scarlet tunics closed round Andronicus
like waves OF blood in the deep dusk
and he went down under them, and
heard them answer the coming peo-
pie
Johannes reigns. Emperor Johan-
nest'
Zoe heard the cry through her tor
ment and forgot the pain for one mo-
ment and the next the dumb Ethiopian
who had held her slit the torturer

from under her arm, with its living
contents, and threw them away; for he
had seen Andronicus go down and
knew that there was a new master

faced man groveling on the ground
and searching for his treasure. which
could make the toughest victim speak
before one could count ten score, for
he served the emperor, whoever he
might be, as he and his father before
him had served many. No one ever
killed the torturer. So he went among
the trampling feet on his hands and
knees, feeling nothing, il so be IT that
he might find his pet and get it back
safely into its cage in his bosom.
And when he found 1t still in the
walnut shell, by the strange chance
that protects all evil, he laughed like a
maniac and slipped between the 81 ards
legs on all fours. like a hideous white
faced ape, and ran away into the
palace.
Zoe had opened her eyes and the pain
was gone, leaving only throb behind
and she gathered her torn tunfc to her
neck with one hand as best she could
and slipped out of the turmoil: and
only she, of all those that heard the
first shout, knew how it was that the
people were cheering for the delivered
emperor, while Johannes was still shut
up in the tower and guarded by the
deaf and dumb Africans; and In the
glorious triumph OF her plan she for
got everything else but the man she
loved, and he was safe now beyond all
doubt
Was he not the friend of the rescued
Johannes? The soldiers would not
dare, on their lives, to keep him a
prisoner now, not for one hour, not for
one moment.
