She looked at him inquiringly. For few
moments he said nothing, watching the
people pass in and out of the place. Then he
turned once more to his companion.
4Sybil,' he said, "Sybil, there will always
be this in my heart: Lucille is to be my
wife, and l shall give her exactly what the
law demands; but between you and me
there is something else. There is the love
that must have in it always spark of di-
vinity, because for both of us it is leavened
with self-sacrifce. That is how it will al
ways be to me. Now we have finished with
serious subjects. You must decide for your
self whether it shall be more mullins or some

Chalmers they call him? He is better
known over on this side, think, than with
us. He has spent the last fifteen years of his
life in Europe, with only an occasional visit
to New York. Chap not much older than

mitted; "or rather, perhaps I should say

tate down in Hertfordshire. He is men,
Der too of the club at which am just going
to lunch"
"You don't say so!' Smith exclaimed,
with interest "Now wonder whether you
could put me in the way of finding him?"
Jermyn glanced at his watch @If he is
in town at ALL" he said, "he will probably
be at the club. Come along and have
luncheon with me. If he isn't there, can
find out from someone where he is. He has
very large circle of friends. He goes down
to the Riviera every season, l believe; but
it's too early for him to have made move
yet. Very good time, l should think, to
catch him in town."
3Well, that's really very kind of you,
Smith declared. "If it's wholly agreeable
to you, should be delighted"
"1t's quarter to one now" Jermyn re-
marked. II have been working all the
morning, and am really out for little exer-
else. If you're in no particular hurry, we
might walk to the top of Bond street and
back again. l want to call at my shirt
makers, and l suppose | am Englishman
enough to love walking in this particular
street."
Il am with you all the time" Smith an
swered with alacrity, as they strolled off.
Its a commonplace, poky looking little
thoroughfare to anyone that's been used
to Fifth avenue; but am not going to say
that it hasn't points. The women, for in
stance. Finest women in the world! Never
saw anything like them. Such complexions!
Gee! Here's lovely woman coming now!
What carriage! What a fgure!'
Jermyn smiled family. "You ought to
recognize her" he said. @That is the Ouch
esse de Sayers; to whom, by the by, am
engaged to be married:
"Now that's interesting" Smith declared.
4But | thought understood-I had an

THEY were face to face with Lucille now.
She was dressed as usual in perfect
taste, distinguished and distinctive figure.
Some change seemed to have come over her
during the last few steps, The brilliant
smile with which she had welcomed them
had passed from her face. She was looking
steadily at Smith.
"Let me assure you," Jermyn said, as
they paused, @that Mr.. Smith isn't night

in the fast waning light the interior was all
in black shadow. Doubtless this had been
carefully calculated He asked permission
if he might previously testify on oath the
girls innocence, as was performed in his own
country.
This was granted.
As Lane professed a long -drawn-out oath
he laid both hands over the neck of the vase.
In this manner he managed to conceal ad
roitly his action of dropping the electric
pocket lamp into the vase. 1t seemed to fall
short of the bottom, with no resulting dull
or other sound He Strengthened himself,
bent over, and peered into the vase. The
small, glowing light revealed dark, coiled
mass, also a flat head with pair of vicious,
cleaning eyes. He choked down an inn
pulsive cry of horror as he realized that the
other object in the vase was a cobra. As
suredly the chance of any hand inserted es-
Gaping death stroke was remote!
He moistened his suddenly parched lips
with his tongue, and looked again into the
vase The fall of the pocket lamp with its
steady light had evidently stirred the ser
pent Its mass was uncoiing, its head slow
ly rising to the neck of the vase. Lane
nerved himself to the ordeal he decided
upon. He rested his open hand just touch
ing the rim of the vase and waited. By
fractions of an inch crept that sinister head
upward. Presently forked tongue darted
above the rim, and the cobra's head ap-
peared.
With lightning sweep Lane grasped it
by the neck Immediately under the jaws.
His fingers closed in viselilke grip, with his
thumb nail pressing in upon the cobra's
vertebra. The serpent fairly leaped out of
the vase, threshing three feet of its supple
body, and winding it in coils around Lanes
arm Lane forced all the muscles of his
wrist and hand to a strangulating grip.
Thus for a tense period of mental and
physical strain he struggled with the serpent
for mastery.
As the conflict went on bearers entered
the platform with torches. The lurid flames
showed Lanes face paled to an ashen hue,
with the sweat dripping from his forehead.
In little the cobra's jaws, displaying its
deadly fangs, fell apart, and its coils dropped
1istlessly from Lanes arm. Lane swung it
back and hurled the cobra at the chief
Brahman's feet.
@Ugh! UGH" not unlike grunts of ap-
p1ause ran from mouth to mouth among the
Maharaja's S mobiles.
T ANE turned to the vase. He thrust in
MS arm ano SeCuleu tle IlllS, dlSo tlie
small pocket electric lamp. The latter he
dropped into his pocket; the former he set
on the girls trembling finger. Then he held
out his hand before the Maharaja.
@Your Highness can see there is neither
burn, cut, nor scratch upon it. Has not the
Jholor Ordeal of the Ring been fulfilled, with
innocence proved?'
The Maharaja glanced from side to side
upon the faces of his mobiles, gathering ap-
proval from them. Even So, he gravely
decided. "Also, by our custom, to the wo-
mans defender belongs the silver vase, filled
with gold mohurs if it be her wish. Lo, you
may now both 60 where you will

some trick to take me at Disadvantage
"The Sahib will please remember" an
officer of the retainers spoke, that If the
Maharaja did not intend to keep his word,
would the Sahib have left the palace this
morning. Who ever heard that Rajput
Prince broke faith?'
@Then why this blindfold? Is it part of
the ordeal?" Lane realized that if such were
its purpose his plan of the lamp would fail.
mo" answered the officer. at is because
the Sahib is to be taken through part of the
zenana not permitted to the sight of men"
ooh, all right then" agreed Lane.
When the blindfolding was done he was
led into the zenana precincts. He assumed
that he was given in charge of the zenana
guards, who conducted him through endless
corridors and passages. Now and then his
ears caught whispering voices intlmating
that he was an object of much interest to
fair or other inmates. Presently he was
halted He heard louder talk, and someone
was placed at his side. Then into one of his
hands was thrust smaller hand, and he felt
the touch of soft silk. He pressed the small
er hand to receive response. No word
was exchanged; but he had no doubt re-
garding the identity Of his companion. So
on again.
In little while gravel under foot informed
him they were traversing path. The t1nk-
ling splash of fountain and the heavy per-
fume of flowers suggested garden. At last
Lanes foot touched step. They were as
sisted up a flight of these to a platform.
His blindfold was removed.
He stared round in momentary surprise;
for he found that the pavilion where the
trouble had originated was selected for the
ordeal. An awning had been spread over
part of the platform. Under this were
grouped the Maharaja with his mobiles. They
evidently regarded it as a state occasion;
for their gorgeous robes blazed with jewels.
But figure standing out from them was
in striking contrast. This was the chief
Brahman and legal accuser. Pride, scorn, and
relentless cruelty marked his thin features.
For background the dome and turrets OF the
pavilion were draped in royal purple hue OF
sunset In far distance the blood-red orb
of the sun itself touched the horizon and
flooded the waters of the river below deep
crimson. On low stand before the chief
Brahman rested the fatal vase. 1t was of
pure silver, ornately chased in designs of
Hindu deities.
Presently the accused were summoned
under the awning. The Maharaja ad-
dressed Lane.
"Do you still wish to perform the ordeal?'
II do" Lane asserted.
3And you accept the Sahib?' was de-
manded of the girl.
According to the custom she drew from
her wrist gold bracelet, which she laid be-
fore the vase.
Lane was directed to pick up the bracelet
as his pledge on her behalf. He complied
promptly.
aThen all is now prepared said the
Maharaja.
T ANE stepped up to the vase and inspected
II it closely. Down through its neck he
could see nothing. Beneath the awning and
