IAsendra Rides.

Next morning Sir Robert owen
drove back to Setinje. He did not
return in the Americans motor
car, but in Count Balsic's limou-
sine, conducted by a Servian
chauffeur.
Jack Rupert watched the Eng
lishman drive down the road.
Then as he turned for a stroll
around the castle grounds he saw
Irenya coming toward him.
How do you do?" she muir
INJURED THE Countess Delice has
sent me to say that she will re-
ceive you with much pleasure
"I's much obliged. Can / go
back with you, Miss Lesendra?
''If you SO please, excellency,"
Delight was impatient for the
interview. She went to the core
of the matter.
"You gave my message to Lieut..
Balsic? You told mis-"
81 reported all you said. He
knew it already"
Delight put her hand over her
heart. Why was faith in Michael
made so hard? Suddenly her de-
sire to talk the affair over with
Rupert vanished. She read in his
face disbelief in Michael.
THAT will be ALL" she said.
Rupert's reply was declara-
ton.
I'm going to train in this
camp for a WHILE" he said. "I'll
be where you can signal for me,
fany time"
The American stopped to salute
Irenya, on his way out. She rose
to answer him.
You are to me as If l were
too, a great lady, she sighed.
"Will you be always so to me?"
Were you supposing differ
ent?"
Would all men of your coun-
try be so to me?"
"They would, Miss Lesendra, II
they wanted to live"
Would you then kill them?"
"By the Dozen" said Rupert,
| without smile.
Lesendra and the count were in
the arcade, when Rupert came
down the twisting stairs from the
balcony. Lesendra was about to
mount his horse. The count was
in the act of bidding his kinsman
goodbye.
You have visited Michael's vii
lage, | believe" said Stefan.

enjoyed returned Rupert. ~

There was a made-in-Germany
Italian that the lieutenant said he
brought from Serbia, a man called

Balsic.
Rupert accepted the informa-
ton with a nod, and made no at
tempt to finish his remark. He
understood that to both Lesendra
and Stefan Balsic there was a
startling significance in the pres
ence of the man Josef in Michael's
house.

durance flight was held, I was

Lesendra's horse plunged with
impatient fretting to be off. The
young officer swung himself into
the saddle with a last gay salute
and was gone.

Has City Job,
But NOSalary

w. G.G Rowland, former sup
erintendent of the Municipal
dock, who went to work a week
ago as chief clerk to the harbor-
master, Is in the unusual position
of man working on a city Job
without authorization and with
out salary.
Rowland was put to work by
Mayor Fawcett, who contemplat-
ed that the city council would
pass an ordinance transferring
the dock department from Com
missioner Gronen's control to
that of the mayor.
Today City Attorney Harmon
gave the council an opinion to the
effect that, although the docks
could be transferred, Rowland
could not be given the chief
clerkship without taking a civil
service examination.
The chief clerk can draw no
salary because he has never been
officially appointed.
Commissioner Qronen today
declared that he knew nothing of
Rowland, and that II the latter
had been working at the docks
II was without any authorization.

Lesendra Rides Again.

A week later Jack Rupert
awoke one night to find Lesendra
standing beside his bed.
"Eh?" the American raised
himself on his elbow, blinking.
"What?"
"Will you rise and listen to
me?" Lesendra repeated. my
time is short. I have failed In
the mission you saw me ride away
to undertake for Count Balsic. Let
me put it better. Michael has
bought me, with a woman.

Lesendra watched Rupert scan

with apparent haste, but in Mich

Cartier says that the man came to him yesterday and asked for loan. ] At the same time Fournier showed him two checks. one for $450O and the other for $500, both drawn on the Connecticut National bank, Bridge- port

 On the strength of this promise, Cartier alleges that he loaned a small sum.
 Tuesday morning Cartier went to the Cargin house where Fournier was stopping to collect the money. He says that he was told that Fournier was not up. He then claims to have gone to the Putnam bank and asked about the checks. He says he was told. that no such deposit had been made.
 It was then that Captain Ryan was called upon to make the arrest, and this Wednesday morning Fournier will appear before Judge L. H. Fuller in the city court on a charge of obtain ing money under false pretenses.
