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 a few hours before,
he possessed tiny box of cart
ridges. <and only the width of the
room separated 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

Desmond was almost forgotten
when the first shot on the noun

the mists of suffering, Allard

cliffs. he toiled on with redoubled
haste. They would come next for
him.

it because it was a gift from Rob-

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. If 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

CHAPTER III.
HIS ROYAL RICHNESS.


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 east bank of the Hudson
six miles above Tarrytown," went
on the droning voice of the official
then broke as the visitors cool
slightly imperious tones fell across
the monoloSue:
"Ah. and is 1t permitted to speak
with your inmates, If one has the
fancy?"
The official stared, but smiled
vaguely.

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 a
travelled American:

panies you, monsieur, the man near
the window, is not to be trusted.

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 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.
Turn your head away, and go past,
he said.
would you have done so, find
ing a friend in such straight?"

"Then why did you warn me
against Dancla. my anarchistic sec

The question was unexpected,
and left Allard momentarily discon.
certed.
Confess we knew each other
very well five years ago." the Wis.
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 window facing
the river, and listening to their

himself.

markedly.
