It was the next morning. and Chase was relat- ing his experiences to an eager. marveling company in the breakfast room. “She has a sister whose hus- band was one of the leaders in the at- tack.

We had a merry little touch or real warfare Just back of the stables. it was as dark as pitch. and i don’t believe we hit any- body. But it was lively scrambling for a minute or two. let me tell you.” Depplngham'e big blue eyes were fairly snapping. His wife put her hand on his shoulder with an impulse strange to her, and Genevra saw a light blaze in her eyes. “1 hope you potted a few of ’em.

Dropping down behind the bushes, we watched those devils from the town race pell- mell, howling and shooting, down the chateau road. There must have been a hundred of 'em.

We’ve got to stave these devils OR for two or three weeks at least. and we’ll have to look sharp. Browne, that's the third cup of coflee you've had. Come along! This isn't Boston." As they left the breakfast room Chase stepped to Genevra’s side and walked with her. At the foot of the stairs. where they were to part. she extended her hand, a bright smile in her eyes. “You were and are very brave and good." she said. He withheld his hand. and she drapped hers, hurt and strangely vexed. “Don’t you care tor my approval, or do you”â€" He took her slender hand in his broad. white swathed palm and press- ed it fervently regardless of the pun which would have caused him to cringe it engaged in any other pursuit. {haemnolongermdoubtas to the intentions or the disappointed islanders.

A strict espionage was set upon the native servants despite Bail- lo’s assurances of loyalty. Lookouts were posted in the towers. and a cease- less watch was to be kept day and night. Chase on his first visit to the west tower discovered a long unused searchlight of powerful dimensions. Fortunately for the besieged. the elec- tric light plant was located in the chateau grounds and could not be tampered with from.the outside. to see the necessity for permanently removing the white pretenders from their path. “Y on forget. princess, that my hands are still suffering from the bravery you would land.” he said. holding them resolutely behind his back. “Oh. I remember!" she cried in quick comprehension. “They were cut and blnlsed by the rope. How thoughtless 01 me! What. are you doing for them! Come. Mr. Chase. may I not dress them for you? I am capableâ€"I am not afraid of wounds. We have had many of them in our family, and fatal can too." She was eager now and earnest. He shook his head with a smile on his lips. “I thank you. They are bet.- ter, much better, and they have been quite properly bandaged already." “Neenah?” ' “Yes,” he replied gently. She seem- ed to search his mind with a quick. in- tense look into his eyes. Then she smiled and said. “I’ll promise not to bmme the wounds if you'll only be so good as to shake hands with me.” Britt was put In charge of the night patrol. Saunders the day. Selim un- der orders had severed the long rope with a single rifle shot. No one could hope to reach the chateau by way of the ONE. Extra precautions were taken to guard the women from attacks from the inside. The window bars were locked securely. and heavy bolts were placed on the doors leading to the low- er regions. It was now only too apâ€" parent that Skaggs and Wyckholme had wrought well in anticipation of a rebellion by the native shareholders. Each window had its adjustable grates: every outer door was protected by heavy iron gates. By nightfall Deppingham’s forces were in full possession of every ad- vantage that their position afforded. Chase came from his room, still still! and sore. but with fresh. white band- ages on his blistered hands. He asked and received permission to light a cig- arette and then dropped wearlly into a seat near the princess. who sat upon the stone railing. Her trim. graceful figure was outlined against the dark- nees. A delicate. eennone fragrance exhaled from her person. filling him with an indescribable delight and lan- guor: the spell of her beauty was upon him. and he felt the leap of his blood.
