cealed, looked down into the fenc-
ing arena. A servant, who had en-
tered by side door. was speaking
to the master. The latter glanced

rooms. and said something to the
servant, who went out.
The diplomat, with a low ex-

The door reopened and burly fell
low with a black beard entered.
The master led him quietly across
the arena to a small room at one
end. The diplomat slipped down
the stairs and followed. He found
the door shut and locked. and lay
down with his ear to the floor. A
gruff voice unlike the silky tones
of the fencing master was speak
ing.
Ellis majesty has changed his
plans, Madriz. He will not go by
the st. Joseph, but by the Boule-
ward. Station your men in the tall
house across from the church of
the Immaculate Conception. There

The diplomat heard the crinkle
of paper.
Here Is letter from the
prince. He sends you his personal
assurance of the highest reward
when he is king. All"
The diplomat, In changing his
position, had thumped his elbow
against the door. He heard the
two men spring up and one move
forward. He got quickly to his
feet and stepped back. The door
burst open and the figure of the
fencing master lunged out.
"God!" he exclaimed at sight
of the diplomat.
Crossed against one of the posts
supporting the ceiling of the room
were two rapiers of the fashion of
Louis the Great. As he retreated
the diplomat reached up and pulled
down one of these. The master
following, snatched Jdown the
other.
"Ah!" he breathed, and lunged
forward. The blades clashed vi
ciously, and the men thrust and
recovered, guarded and attacked.
The diplomat stood almost mo-

twists of his wrist the fierce lunges

A quick step caused the diplo-
mat to turn. The fellow with the
black beard, who had stood by
the fencers with fasci

and pinked him on the wrist. The
man drew back with a frightened
oath.
With the rapier still in his hand

his only living child.

about two months ago and he told me he
