Britt, see that the searchlight is turned 'on the gates. We must stop those fellows before it is too late.- Time enough to hunt for the traitor later on. Two minutes later a swarm of armed men forsook the mock charity Ball and sallied forth to engage in realities. Firing was soon heard at the western gate, half a mile away. Thither the eager pursuers rushed. The wide ray from the searchlight swung down upon this gate and revealed the forms of struggling men. The prisoners had fallen suddenly upon the two Greeks who guarded the western gate, surprising them eleverly. Both fell under the clubbed1 guns of their adversaries. Chase and Selim were not more than a hundred yards away when the Greeks went down. The Blinding glare of the searchlight aided the pursuers, who kept outside its radius. The fugitives, bewildered, confused by the bright glare in which they found themselves, faced the light boldly, five of them kneeling with guns raised to protect their own companions who started across the narrow strip, which separated them from the massive gate, Selim gave a shout and stopped suddenly, throwing his rifle to his shoulder.

The Indian fakers and showmen gave a performance in the courtyard1 at midnight. They were followed by the Bedouin tumblers and the inspired Persians, who daneecl with frantic abandon. There was but one unfortunate accident. Mr. Rivers, formerly of the bank, got very tight and fell dowmhe steps leading to the courtyard, breaking his lefarm. Lord Deppingham and Chase kept their heads. They saw to it that the watch over the grounds and about the chateau was 'strictTh& '"former led ly. maintained. the grand march with the princess. She was more ravishingly beautiful than ever. Hollingsworth Chase was dazzled. Something seemed to shout coarsely, seoffiingly into his ear:jNow do you realize the distance that lies between ?

The blood surged to his head, ne mumbled his request. Then, for the first time, he was clasping her fingers, touching her waist, drawing her gently toward his heart.Once as they swept round the almost empty ballroom she looked up into his eyes. Neither had spoken. His lips parted suddenly, and his fingers closed down upon hers. She saw the danger light in his eyes and knew the unuttered' words that struggled to his lips and stopped there. She never knew why she did it, but she involuntarily shook her head before she lowered her eyes. He knew what she meant. His heart turned cold again, and the distance widened once more to the old proportions. He left her with Bobby Browne and went out upon the cool, starlit balcony. There he gently cursed himself for a fool, adolt, and idiot. The shouts of laughter and the clapping of hands on the inside did not draw him from his unhappy reverie.
