Ills rifle cracked second later. and
one Of the two men leaped into the
air and fell like log. Chase under
stood the necessity for quick work and
nred an instant later. The second
man fell in a heap thirty feet from the
gate. His companions returned the
fire at random In the direction from
which the well aimed shots had come.
Under covert shouted Chase. He
and Selim dropped into the shrubbery
in time to escape whitening fire from
outside the gates. The searchlight re-
vealed compact mass Of men beyond
the walls. 1t was then that the in
siders realized how near they had
come to being surprised and destroyed.
A minute more, and the gates would
have been opened to this merciless
horde.
The prisoners, finding themselves
trapped. threw themselves upon the
ground and shrieked for mercy. Lord
Deppingham and the others came up
and, scattering well. began to fire at
the mass outside the wall. The island
ers were at disadvantage. They could
not locate the opposing marksmen on
account of the binding light in their
faces. 1t was but moment before
they were scampering Off into the dark
wood, shrieking with rage.
The five fugitives were compelled to
carry their fallen comrades and the
two Greeks from the open space in
front of the gates to point where 1t
was safe for the defenders to approach
them without coming in line with a
possible volley from the forest
A small force was left to guard the
gate. The remainder returned as
quickly as possible to the chateau.
Immediately upon the return to the
chateau an inspection Of the dungeons
was made, prior to an examination of
the servants in the effort to apprehend
the traitor.
The three men who went down into
the damp, chill regions below ground
soon returned with set, pale faces.
There had been no traitor!
The man whose duty it was to guard
the prisoners was found lying inside
the big cell, his throat cut from ear to
ear, stone dead! He had been seized
from within as he came to the graf.
Ing in response to call. While GER
tain fingers choked him into silence,
others held his hands, and still others
wrenched the keys from his sash
After that it was easy. Deppingham
Chase and Selim looked at each other
in horror, and, strange as it may seem
relief.
Death was there; but, after all, death
Is no traitor.

a performance in the courtyard at mid
night. They were followed by the
Bedouin tumblers and the inspired
Persians, who danced with frantic
abandon. There was but one unfor-
tunate accident Mr.. Rivers, formerly
of the bank. got very tight and fell
down the steps leading to the court
yard, breaking his left arm.
Lord Deppingham and Chase kept
their heads. They saw to it that the
watch over the grounds and about the
chateau was strictly maintained. The
former led the grand march with the
princess. She was more ravishingly
beautiful than ever. Hollingsworth
Chase was dazzled. Something seemed
to shout coarsely, scoffingly into his
ear: "Now do you realize the distance
that lies between? She was made for
kings and princes, not for such as

He waited long before presenting
himself in quest Of the dance he hun
gered for so greedily-afraid Of her!
She greeted him with a new, brighter
light in her eyes. A culver Of delight
long in restraint came into her voice.
He saw and felt the welcome in her
manner. The blood surged to his head.
He mumbled his request. Then, for
the first time. he was clasping her fin
gers, touching her waist, drawing her
gently toward his heart. Once as they
swept around the almost empty ball
room she looked up into his eyes.
Neither had spoken. His lips parted
suddenly, and his fingers closed down
upon hers. She saw the danger light
in his eyes and knew the unuttered
words that struggled to his lips and
stopped there. She never knew why
she did it, but she involuntarily shook
her head before she lowered her eyes.
He knew what she meant. His heart
turned cold again, and the distance
widened once more to the old proper
lions.
He left her with Bobby Browne and
went out upon the cool, starlit bal
cony. There he gently cursed himself
for FOOL dolt, an idiot
The shouts Of laughter and the clap
ping of hands on the inside did not
draw him from his unhappy reverie.
He did not know until afterward that
the official announcement of the en-
gagement of Miss Minnie Pelham and
Thomas Saunders was made by Bobby
Browne and the health Of the couple
drunk in series of bumpers.
Chase's bitter reflections were at
last disturbed by a sound that came
sharply to his attention. The noise
came from directly below where he
stood. He peered over the stone rail-
ing. The terrace was barely ten feet
below him. A mass Of bushes fringed
the base of the wall. dark, thick, fra
grant. The next moment dark figure
shot out from the shadows and SUNK

another and yet others, seven in all
Then the truth suddenly dawned
upon him. The prisoners had escaped
from the dungeon!
He dashed into the ballroom and
shouted the alarm. Confusion ensued

will overpower our guards and open
the gates TO the enemy. Britt, see that
the searchliGht is trained on the gates.
We must stop those fellows before it
is too late. Time enough to hunt for
the traitor later on
Two minutes later swarm of arm
ed men forsook the mock charity ball
and sailed forth to engage in realities.
Firing was soon heard at the western
gate, half mile away. Thither the
eager pursuers rushed. The wide ray
from the searchlight swung down upon
this gate and revealed the forms of
struggling men.
The prisoners had fallen suddenly
upon the two Greeks who guarded the
western gate, surprising them cleverly.
Both fell under the dubbed guns of
/ their adversarieS.
Chase and Selim were not more than
hundred yards away when the
Greeks went down. The binding
glare of the searchlight aided the pur-
suers, who kept outside its radius. The
fugitiyes, bewildered. confused by the
bright glare in which they found
themselves. faced the light boldly. five

The Hudson Trio,

What though tardy may be renown?
Fame and honor are sure to crown.
Flags will fly and the bells be rung,
Speeches made and the praises sung.
Though three centuries long have passed,
Hudson comes to his own at last.
Thrifty do we Irvine the bay,
Double duty we make it pay,
For with the Half Moons captain brave
We hail another who tanned the wave,
And where the stately steamers speed
Robert Fulton will have his need.
Safe is your glory, William G.
Three more centuries soon will flee.
Then on the stream of Dreams Fulfilled
Folks will gather the great to gild,
Cheering the shades of the Hudson crew,
Hudson, Fulton and McAdoo.

Unlike Colorado Voters, "Co-opera-
tives" Will Not Hang Back.

The Cooperative Suffrage League, a
club OF West Side women lately organ
lied with Mrs. Raymond Brown as presi-
dent. is quite prepared 20 do jury duty
when IL gets the vote. The women of
Colorado shirked this duty. but the Coop

spirits. Mrs. Helen Grenfell OF Colorado,

a mistake. too. but excused the women OF
her State on the ground that many new
things came upon them at once and found
them somewhat unprepared
Mrs Graham McDougau read a paper
on the duties OF Jurors. and set at rest any
fears that might have been entertained by
the weaker sisters lest they should be

circumstances TO serve on turies. She
made IL plain. in fact that II is COM

that she had no doubt women would take
advantage OF these loopholes just as
men do.

sexes" she observed, land when women
