"and not one Russian subject shall go on

The Russian turned on his heel and
walked back to the waiting soldiers. He
snapped out a few orders, and the squad of
men scattered in line across the end of the
great pier Charrington and Bacon
watched operations in helpless silence.
"Well, Mr. Diplomat" chuckled Char
rington, Il pass matters to you. It's out
of my hands"
They walked toward the city, Charring-

very thoughtful. After a time Charring-

Bacon stared at him and Charrington
went on:
"I'll bet that Russian doesn't know.
I'll bet he's blufhng, and he's got bayonets
enough to get away with it. Probably he's
been hankering for excitement as much as

growing thoughtfulness of Bacon's face led
him to say more" He'll frame up big

Bacon and Charrington alternated between
the Swiss cafe and the pier. The colony Of
Russian peasants was in wild ferment, and
the crew of the dirty steamer were busy
about their ship. Otherwise the usual
quiet of Valny was undisturbed.
At four o clock in the afternoon the ships
captain reported to Charrington that he was
ready. Charrington seated on discarded
anchor, nodded. Bacon looked downcast;
things had worked too smoothly. He saw
the dead level of his existence preparing to
settle down onto him again-and looked
with alarm at the last flicker Of Charring-

Bacon touched Charrington on the arm.
He had great desire to go back to the con-

OF Charrington's cigars.
"It's all very well for you, =" he told Char
rington as they stood looking out over the
harbor. "Youll go back and your govern
ment will say, Here, Charrington, you've
done good job on this, we've got another
for you. They're producing all the rubber
we use over in Uraguay-only they want
too much for it. Go over there, kick up a
revolution and knock down the price Then
hurry back, cause we'll have something
else by that timel That's the kind of a
life you have-and look at mel You're the
only event that's happened since I've been
here-and outside last night, you haven't
been as much of an event as I'd hoped"
Charrington looked genuinely panied,
II sure hate to be an internationally
diplomatic iizzlel" he said feelingy.
"This is the ship Of Monsieur Charring-

The two men turned and faced very
trim Russian officer, his white cap set at a
rakish angle, his white jacket cleaning, his
boots freshly polished. Twenty yards be-
hind was a squad of Russian infantrymen
"Ive chartered the ship, yes" Charring-
ton informed him.
The Russian nodded gravely and shifted
his gaze to Bacon, whom he studied with
solemn displeasure.

Bacon grew red and stiTcred Chcr-ing-

shifted his cigar to the fighting angle.
"Told me what?" he demanded
The Russian was wordily apol5getic, but
he could not refrain from occasional glances
OF superior disdain at Bacon he explained
that it was quite impossible for Charrington
to boldly sail into the port and carry off
shipoad of Russian subjects. 1t could not
be done; assuredly not. 1t was unfortunate
that M. Charrington had been put to so
much expense and inconvenience Had

Bacon's mind was moving rapidly in an
effort to remember just what canon he could
have violated. He was divided between
nervousness and anger. He had never
liked young Strolboff anyhow. Charrng-
ton was hedged in by no international pos
sibilities. He pointed an accusing finger
at the Russian and spoke

poppycock. You call those cattle up there

IN the morning Charrington's chartered
steamer lurched into the great harbor, and
ChaTington, accompanied by Bacon and
the unimpressed Jones, visited the colony OF
miserable Russians.
"They will CO." Jones announced at
length
The actions Of the Russians were sufi-

look over the vessel while Jones trudged
