ner Of southern maidens of high

daughter Of a famous diplomat
and sister of Captain Dick Clai-

her faith in him even when all
her world had turned against
him. And who was John Armi-
tage, to whom, so much love was
given and around whom so many
great affairs revolved !? Read,
and you shall learn from his
story and his deeds Of knightly
bravery that the spirit Of chiv-
airy and loyalty still abides in
the prosaic, workaday, modern
world, ready at the call Of duty

The prime minister concluded with

"Of course l speak the truth, but
this is matter for action and not for

There was slight immaterial sound
In the hall. and the old prime minister

tinued:

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
called on you in Paris year ago I
was able to render you'll believe you
admitted sit-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 a great
head thickly covered with iron gray
hair.
He trusted no one, and this accounted
for his presence in Geneva In March
of the year 1908, whittier he had gone
to receive the report Of the secret
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 1t critically. while his
eyes lighted with sudden humor.
The card was geptlenan's carte de
visite and bore tha0Rme John Armi-
tage.

were using when | saw you In Paris.
Where did you get it?" demanded the
minister.

The old gentleman bowed half I'M
consciously. for his thoughts were far
away. as the vague stare in his small,
shrewd eyes indicated.
