Events were crowding upon each others heels. Charlie, while abroad, had seen something that gave him quite a start. This was nothing more nor less than a lovely woman with golden hair and blue p'ea In a carriage, taking an airing. while at her side, stiff and the baron sat. Charlie bowed politely. The countess gave him a look of curiosity and one of her ravishing smiles. Sobhe passed out of his life lucky man. The sight of Chailio recalled to the barons mind the prom'se he had made with regard to Capt. Brand. Accordingly he ook advantage of his first hour off to set the wires in motion, and lta-- n certain tacts regarding the worthy captain. Charlie, relying cn the baron to corral the rapta.r, had made anange-ment- s for sailing upon the next steamer. He had engaged passage for Arliue, her companion, Artemus and himself. The captain, having paid a man to keep upon Stuart's track, found out what was in the wind. He learned that the crisis had arrived. Whatever he proposed doing must be put through with all possible speed, since, ere many hours elapsed, those agajnst whom his schemes were directed would be upon the sea, and, mayhap, beyond his reach. Artemus had heard enough to know the three schemers were planning to do his friend an evil turn, but, strain his ears as he would, he had not been able to catch the particulars of the game, owing to certain sounds in the hotel that muffled even the bold voices of Captain Brand's champagne-bibbinfriends. All he could do was to warn Stuart on general princ:ples. and it can be set down as an assured fact that he carried out this dramatic little episode quite to the queen's taste. It would not have been Artemus otherwise. Charlie promised to keep his weather eye open for squalls. He hoped his early departure from disAntwerp would serve to entirely concert the beggarly plans of his enemies, and leave the fellow in the lurch. About this time there was considerable hustling being done among the various forces circling arouid Arline Brand, just as the planets whirl about their central sun. The baron tried to drive from his mind the startling phantoms that had been .conjured into being by the mysterious power of Isolde, Countess of Brabant, and, as this cm id only be done by means of wotk, l.e gave himself up to the mission of the hour with redoubled zeal. It was really a question what the scramble would result In whether Charlie or the redoubtable captain would come out of It m creditable shape, and how Artemus migln fare in stern-lookin- trans-Atlanti- c g the shuffle. Lady Arline had an Interview with which she anher alleged papa.-durinnounced her determination of crossing the Atlantic on business, and that she had provided liberally for him during her absence, as he would find upon applying in person to her hanker in London. The interview was possibly not de- Artemus void of dramatic features. was on guard near by, and heard the old sea dog blustering more or less in Outside a desire to have & little sport with his friend, the captain, his sole purpose in leading Brand this wild goose chase was to keep his attention upon himself, while Lady Arline and Artemus left the hotel; for somehow Charlie had a vague fear lest the resourceful might use force to prevent his supposed daughter from departirg, advancing some daring plea that her mind was affected au-- t having hired experts, who would perhaps decree that she should be Incarcerated In an asylum. These things might appear ridiculous, but such happenings have come to pass ere now, and he chanced to have personal' knowledge of at least one similar case. Whethei or not Charlie were foolish in thus conjuring up --phantoms that could not exist, was a question that should not be decided hastily. He believed Brand to be a desperate man, again it whom he could as yet hardly appeal to tne law. since Arline would not give her consnt. He was convinced that Brand did not desire the heiress to get beyond his rodih, and would hardly hesitate at any end in erdor to hold her until his sinirter plans could be worked out. Hence It was, after all, in a spirit of that Charlie undertook to have a little fun with Capt. Brand, and led him this fine thase up and down the crooked streets of Antwerp All would have been well but for two cronies of Brand. They chanced to he standing at a dark corner where the other had agreed to meet 'them, and, hearing his signals, sprang upon Charlie ere he comprehended his danger. As a result he was struck senseless by a blow from some blunt weapon. When Capt. Brand arrived on the scene his first act was to sprinkle a powdery white pigment in the young mans hair, to give him the appearance of age, and to smear his face with a little street dirt in order to disguise his features. Then, for the benefit of the man whom he knew hovered near by, a litdrama was carried out, the tle one-ac- t two men chasing Brand hither and yon then, as the barons spy came in sight, two men running away, while a form lay on the street. It worked like a charm. The emissary of Baron Peterhoff hastened up as people began to open the windows of houses to learn what the disturbance might mean. There he found one who appeared to be the old fellow he had been set to watch. The man called a vehicle, placed the limp figure in its interior, entered himself, and then started to report the astonishing result of his espionage to Baron Peterhoff himself. While Capt. Brand, rejoining his confreres down the shady street, set off in hot haste to get aboard the steamer, which, in another hour or so, would be moving down the River distant Sheldt, bound for the far-of- f shores of America. Artemus stood on the hurricane deck of the great Red D ocean liner and looked back in the morning sunlight coast to the distant aud of Belgium. Homeward bound! There is always a pleasure In this thought and Artemus experienced it with enthusiasm. So far as he knew, Charlies plans had progressed all right, the ogre was left behind, lamenting in the land of the Belgians, and clear sailing seemed ahead. Then his thoughts ran back to the He events of the previous night. chuckled to remember the adroitness with which he had seen Lady Arline, her companion and their luggage on board the waiting steamer, while.Char-liwas leading the ogre a chase around Antwerp, partly to amuse himself and at the same time keep Brand occupied up to near the sailing time. By the way, where was Charlie? It was strange that he failed to show up In time to see the last of Belgiums shores. 1 ady Arline and her companion were walking the deck with jersey and golf cape to keep off the stinging chill. I'll gel and arouse the sluggard, His little said Artemus to himself. have worn him Jaunt about town-mus- t out net the first case of its kind, I rather gur.ss, with a sinister lear at his wit. So he went below. The door of Charlie's stateroom was just opposite his cwn a single step across the little passage. As he approached he heard the sounds of loud tmoring from within. On the spur of the moment he decided to arouse hi3 friend with a sud-deshout, or by the advent of a convenient shoe tossed across the little room. Artemus had never wholly outgrown his college days, when he gained the reputation of being the champion practical joker of his class So he quietly opened the door, which was conveniently unlocked. windows Through the bulls-ey- e enough of the morning light crept to allow a fair survey of, the miniature apartment. One of the first things Artemus saw was a shoe that had been tossed aside. As he seized upon it eagerly, he failed to note its generou- - proportions as contrasted with the neat footgear which Charlie Stuart affected such tiifies do not .mpress themselves upon the mind when weightier things are demanding recognition. Now for a certer shot He turned his attention to the lower berth, which was occupied by a human form. Just then the nasal sounds came to a sudden stop with a savage snort, and tho sleeper whirled over on his side. his face directly The. act within rucye I the morning light that strugylc.1 through the small openings beyond. No wonder Artemus crouched there e g wild-goos- e his usual way. of But he had evidently lost rau-'over the power he formerly Lady Arline. He came forth from the rooms looking like au enraged hyena, because diplomacy had forced him to bottle up his wiath. To Artemus Charlie delegated the task of seeing 1 ady Arline and her maid aboard the ocean greyhound, where he would Join them later. It was night again. Tifhe and tiue wait for no man. and ocean steamers have to put out very frequently at unreasonable hours, la order to cross the bar on the flood. The baron and Captain Brand played as it were, a game of shadowed Charfor, while the lie with intentions that were both dark and desperate, he was. at the same time, under the surveillance of Petar-hoff- s emissary the baron himself being too busily employed catering to the comfort of his fair prisoner in reality his captor to personally inject bis Individuality into the game. Captain Brand knew, he was followed, and perhaps could give a rough guess as to the why and wherefore. But It was not his nature to be despondent. He believed in utllzlng whatever came In his way as one o,f the forces that might bring success. When a man can thus twist threatening disasters Into favoring factors he is Indeed hard to beat in the game of life. Charlie was feeling unusually bold on this night, whiih and he supposed would be bis lari on European soil.

And shall I have to take bis place as her warrior bold, and will it be necessary for me to give up my liberty? Poor fellow! He did not know whether to look on it as a huge joke or a grim reality. He thought of warning Arline; she ought to know her dear papa was on board, and that he had refused to break the paternal bonds that had be come so very strong since his return from exile. Artemus buckled on his armor. If he was to be pitted against the old ogre, It would be a pretty fight. Capt. Brand might have succeeded in outwitting Charlie, who was too frank for deep diplomacy, but he would find it quite another thing when he ran up against the new knight who had shied his castor Into thp ring.
