only that I aim at SO much that 1t Is in
your power to grant There was reason
In this which there was no resisting. Col.
Ogilvie bowed-he felt that he could do no
less. Athlyne wisely said no more; botn
men regarded the incident closed.
With Joy II was different. The incident
gave her the information she lacked for
the completion Of the circle OF her knoWl-
edge. AS with flash she realized the
whole secret: that this man who had
saved her life and whom now her father
wanted to kill was none other than the
man whose name she had taken-at first
in sport and only lately in order TO pro-
tect herself from troubles of inquisitive-
ness and scandal. At the moment she
was in reality the only one of the three
the only one at all-who had In her
hand all the clues. Neither her father
nor Athlyne knew that she had given to
the maid at the hotel name other than
her own.
She began to have also an unconscious
intuition Of some coming change; some
thing which hinged on her giving Of the
name. Now, for the first time she real
lied how dangerous it may be for any
one to take the name of any other person
for any purpose whatever. or from any
cause. She could not see the end.
But though her brain did not classify
the idea her blood did. She blushed SO
furiOusly that she had serious thoughts OF
escaping from the room. Nothing but
the danger which might arise from such
a step kept her in her place. But some
thing must she felt, be done. Things
were so shaping toward reconciliation
that it would be wise to prevent matters
slipping back. For an instant she was
puzzled as to what to do: then an in
spiration came to her. Turning to her
father she said:
Daddy, let us. ask the old sheriff to
come in again." She felt that she could
rely on his discretion. and that In, his
hands things might slide into calmer
waters. Her father acquiesced willingly,
and courteous message was sent
through servant.

perial court cabinet position of a repre-

ton is the present governor of Fiume,
Count Mako, whose splendid reception of

Ihen she ratified on: il was evident To

any means could be found by which II
could add to joys happiness or lessen

Col. Ogilvie's reception OF these words
was characteristic OF the man. as he took
full height and stood at attention. Their

a grave bow. The soldier, in him spoke

"Oh. I see: still another alias!' The
words were bitter; the tone of manifest

Athlyne laughed again; it was not in

by the colonel's angry words. given with
look of fury:

His apology for inopportune mirth was
