answered.
He smiled weakly, and, closing his
eyes, lay back. his hand still holding
mine. In a minute more he had sunk
into Inconsistencies. l sat there
long; l lost all sense of time; l did
not even realize that the anchor was
weighed and that we were setting out
to sea, nor did / hear the ominous
splashes in the sea that marked the
bgrial OF the dead. sat there till the
grasp suddenly relaxed and the eyes
opened Then left the cabin forever
and went up on the deck.
I looked around me at the waste Of

/ found relief Dawn was breaking in
the east, and down in my soul Too
long had been perplexed and harassed
by this nightmare OF circumstance;
now my thoughts turned from the dead
to the living, from Leopold to my lover.
All the next day we raced northward
across the Mediterranean until, late in
the afternoon, land upheaved itself
across our bows, and saw the wooded
promontory OF Bon Martin, with the
white houses of the village nesting
beneath the cliff. But the helmsman
twisted his wheel and we veered away,
running parallel with white beach
until we cast anchor not fifty yards
from g low and desolate shore.
They had not spoken word to me,
these silent men. Whoever they were,
Of whence they came, 1 was never to
learn. Now one of them let down the
short rope ladder, and, standing on the
bottom step indicated that l should
follow him.
At first his actions alarmed me. Was
it his purpose to cast me into the blue
water? But moment later / was re-
assured by an unmistakable sign; he
wished me to mount upon his Shout

way.
"You cannot pass" he said sternly.
Ills excellency the president OF the
swiss republic"
But I must see him." I cried wild
ly. II must see the president instant

Then l became aware that a stout
good-natured, fatherly-looking old gen.
tleman. who had been pacing the plat
form, stretching his legs, had halted
nearby and was watching me intently.
Though it was early morning he wore
full dress suit, across which broad
sash of many colors was draped. In
stinct leaped to my aid. l cried to
him:
Monsieur le PRESIDENT"
He hesitated and then came swiftly
toward me.
"At your service. madame" he an
swered.
Take me to Paris in your train," I
pleaded. 1T is a matter of life or
death. They will not let me hire q
train. must go, must be there by
evening"
He bowed and offered his arm.
You shall be my guest, madame"
he answered, and escorted me to his
carriage, as though l were a princess,
leaving a line of gaping functionariea
behind him.
That age-long journey is only the
faintest memory to me now, for, ones
the train started. my pent-up feelings
found vent in a historical outbursk
which sorely repaid the good presidents
for his courtesy. / remember how he
and his suite crowded me as l lay In
the sleeping car which he had perforcs
relinquished to me; how someone dis
covered that / was starving and fed
me with milk and whisky; how, over
come by the potency of the liquor,
babbled something of my story-at
least enough to reveal my identity.
Then the romance of it gripped them
and they constituted themselves my
servitors. Towns rushed past us and
were swallowed up in the plains, night
| followed day, and at last, after an eter-
| nifty Of torment, we rolled into the ter
| minal at eight o'clock on the morning
of Friday.
Next I remember a wild ride in
cab, with the secretary of tbs Swiss
| legation seated beside me, trying to
calm me as / brandished a bundle OF
papers; halt at the fortress gates; a
sudden message that sent orderlies
scurrying in all directions; finally there
comes to mind the picture of court
room, of the grave judges, of Charles,
erect in his uniform, regarding me at
first stonily, then with cry of amazed
joy. recall, most family Of all, thrust
| ing down my documents before tho
! presiding officer. Then blackness en-
comprised me and. as my senses
failed. felt Charles arms encircle me,
and fell into that haven as a ship
wrecked sailor casts himself on the
| sustaining breast of the land.

Then the grotesque came treading
upon tragedy's heels. Our ancient
servitor flung open the door.

impassively.
"The WHAT" cried Charles. startled.
The ancient man explained. A char

begged permission to see the famous

the word party of three entered-a
man and two women. My eyes opened
with amazement. Was dreaming? Or
were these really Mary Jenner, my
one-time roommate and III
tie Mr.. Spratt and Estelle
Christie, whom had left in London?
"Anne!" screamed Estelle, flinging
her arms around my neck. 20, my
dearest Anne, who would have thought
of seeing you here? We read all about

sprang into the sea, which did not
reach higher than his armpits. Clearly
this was the edge Of a shoal; and,
doubtless, the yacht had put in here to
avoid notice.
With some misgivings, I obeyed,
and. clasping me tightly, the sailor
waded ashore until he had deposited
me high and dry above the sweep of
the waves. Then, with a sweep of his
cap. he was gone, and 1 stood upon the
beach watching him.
He waded back and clambered
aboard again. A moment later heard
the creak OF the windlass, saw the an

My dramatic appearance before the
military tribunal had been none too
Foon. In accordance with the usual
procedure the court had convened at
Sax o'clock in the morning. In fact, at
tAe moment of my appearance with
TIE proof of Charles innocence the
judges were already preparing to re-
tire for the consideration of their YER
DIET; and that verdict could have been
Of one nature alone.
My proofs threw an entirely new
complexion upon the affair. While in
sufficient to secure Charles immediate
acquittal, they were of a nature so
startling mplicating, as they did,
three powers Of Europe and unwilling
an international conspiracy-that an
adjournment was Immediately OBJ
tanned. A week later, when the trf-
bunal reconvened, Charles was acquit-
ted with the merest formalities, his
sword restored to him, and, a little
subsequently, he received the coveted
legion of honor from the presidents
hand.
He told me afterward that he had
never doubted the ultimate verdict of
the court; what had driven him almost
to frenzy was his inability to learn
anything concerning me. OF my wild
flight to Corsica he had been kept in
complete ignorance.
OF this, and the ensuing death of the
chief conspirators, they say told the
presiding Judge in detail. But Of all
that have not the least remembrance.
4 Violent attack of meningitis, the re-
suit of the physical and mental dis
tress which 1 had undergone, confined
me to my bed for weeks. during most
of which period I was raving in de-
lirium. l lived over again and again
those awful scenes In Corsica and
aboard the yacht; and ever l seemed
hurrying to catch special train which
just eluded me at every station on
each railroad line Of France.
When I opened my eyes at last to
consciousness they fell first upon
Charles mother. / was back In my
room In Clichy, and she was seated be-
side me, watching me with that anx-
ious and yet serene gaze which had
learned to know during those arduous
days after my first arrival there. When
she saw recognition in my eyes she
began to weep quietly. She bent down
and pressed her lips to my forehead.
Charles 7" was my first word.
"Hush!" she said, smiling, and tip
toed softly out of the room. A moment
later she reappeared. Charles at her
side. He knelt beside my bed and
raised my fingers to his lips. He was
attired in his complete uniform; | un-

though you weren't there"
"Not here?" / stammered.
''Why, Anne, the newspapers said
that you had gone to Copenhagen to
instruct the crown prince in the art of
aviation"
"a little device of NINE" said
Charles, smiling Just to avoid news

Estelle opened her eyes.

Then Mary and kissed each other,

milf, who, retiring into corner imme-
diately afterward, absorbed himself in
reading something that looked like
title deeds which he drew from his
coat pocket. 1t was evident that he
resented this comic interlude in the
development of his own personal, pri-
vate melodrama.

pointment of learning that 1t was the

how the memory of the innumerable
snubbings that l had administered to
Mr.. Spratt compelled me to continue
them.
But to my amazement Mr.. Spratt re-
fused to be snubbed again. Instead of
blushing and retiring behind the per-
son nearest him he looked at me quiz
zically, until / had to lower my eyes.
And then / knew that something had
happened!
1t was another Mr.. Spratt that faced
me. He seemed to have emerged from
his shyness like a butterfly from its
cocoon. He was not embarrassed in
the least degree. l glanced from him
to Mary and saw that her face was
rosy.

possession in which she had alluded

thoughts assailed me. For, though l
had never in the least reciprocated Mr..
Spratt's undoubted passion for me,
did not like having Mary, my best
friend, commander him from me.
Then my good angel came to my as
sistance.
