CHAPTER III.
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS.

They looked at each other stead
lily, the distinguished visitor and
the prisoner who polished brass
railing. Beside them an official
was droning particularly monoto-
nous and dreary account of the
institution, his eyes half closed with
the mental exertion of recollection,
his thoughts turned inwar" and
absorbed. There were several gen.
tlemen and officers of the building
In the bare room, chatting with
one another in varying degrees Of
boredom and interest, and comp e.
ly ignoring the quiet prisoner who
had been John Allard. Yet he was
perhaps the only one present, with
the exception of the man facing
him. who escaped the common
place.
"You have something to say?"
questioned the grave, lustrOus dark
eyes of the visitor; eyes southern
in their long dashed softness, north
ern in their directness.
And Allard's gray eyes returned
assent with an utter calm which
everyday the surface of tragedy.

on the droning voice of the official.
then broke as the visitors cool,
slightly imperious tones fell across
the monologue:
"Ah, and Is 1t permitted to speak
with your inmates, IL one has the
fancy?"
The official stared, but smiled
vaguely

(Continued)

The doorway was empty; the
evening serenata of robin filled
the hush. Allard's head sank on
his arm in the darkest moment Of
the last somber months.
But presently he looked up again.
Still dressed as when the accident
had happened few hours before,
he possessed a tiny box of cart
ridges, III only the width of the
room sekurated him from his desire.
He impulsively tossed aside the
blanket and slipped to the floor.
The fall drew gasp of pain. All
before faded into insignifcance be-
side the anguish of movement. 1t
was not the ankle only; the injury
had gone farther than that. Color

Guilty, Allard dragged himself inch
by inch toward the goal.
Desmond was almost forgotten
when the first shot on the noun
tain-side rang out. Startled from
the mists of suffering, Allard
paused an instant. Then az a very
fusillade reverberated among the
cliffs, he toiled on with redoubled
haste. They would come next for
him.
1t hrN a pearl and silver handle.
that Revolver. He had treasured
It because it was a gift from Rob.
ert, and a souvenir too frequently
duplicated to betray his identity.
Now the pearl shone a glistening
spot in the surrounding grayness,
reckoning. tantalizing. 1t was so
far across the room, SO very far.
Shots again! He struggled yet
more desperately, and the result
ing pang brought waves of faint
ness above his head. II he could
only rest, so.
Some one was shouting, half ex-
ultantly, half fearfully, and other
voices replied in equal excitement.
Some one was killed, they were say

for the cool. white handle was in
the grasp of the outstretched hand.
He had won, won doubly. He had
accomplished his task. and he held
the key to the door. Roberts face
leaned toward him, warm with re-
lief and praise; Theodore was in
the room. bringing fragances Of
sandalwood and rose
Once more he drove back the
mists and dragged the revolver to
him, smiling, but with knit brows.

replied.
Again the eloquent glances of the
other two crossed.
"You have much Of this work."
quiered the visitor, the words
scarcely needed either by speaker
or listener in the deeper search
for a means of communication.
Allard answered in French, the
fluent, barely-accented French of
travelled American:
THAT man Is gray who accom-
panies you, monsieur, the man near
the window, is not to be trusted.
He was released fro mthis place
last year, after serving a term for
his share in some Paterson anar-
chistic outrages. He is dangerous,
and he watches you constantly"
The visitor was trained to self
control; he did not make the mis-
take of looking toward the man in
question. But he could not quite
check the flash of blended emotions
which crossed his own expression.
"Thank you," he said. And after
an instant, 81 thought recogni-
| zed you when l saw you on enter
ing; now you have spoken, l am
certain. Yet"
Allard flushed from throat to
temples, the color dying out again
to leave even his lips white. But
his reply was steadily given,
"There is no one here whom you
know, monsieur, or who knows you.
Even a prison has it's courtesies.

he said.

"Then why did you warn me

The question was unexpected,
and left Allard momentarily discon-
certed.
Confess we knew each other

itor added gently. and paused to
consider.
A few PAGES off the official stood
stupidity enjoying the respite from
exertion; placidly indifferent to an
incomprehensible conversation in
spired by the within of guest. The
other three of four men were admir-
ing the view from a window facing
the river. and listening to their
cicerOne.
IL wish you would go away, mon
sieur," Allard said only. when he
had recovered perfect command Of
himself.
"Be patient with me yet a mo-

markedly.

Allard hesitated.

tured him believe he never meant to

unconscious, with little pistol
in his hand, and they guessed that
