CHAPTER XII
A gray, tangled beard above
which were a -pair of piercing,
’ hawhlike eyes loomed out of the
sea °£ flailing knives. Xerxes’
breath caught in his constricting
throat. The owner of that beard
and those eyes was Aben-el-A'kr,
The old outlaw’ stood watching
Xerxes being torn to pieces as
calmly as if he were contemplating
the glories of a desert sunset,
The fraction of a second Xerxes
spent glancing at /Ahen-el-Akr
proved his undoing, The sword was
knocked from his hand*; and a
staggering blow on the head bowled
him from his feet like a tenpin. As
he struck the floor he heard Curt I
Sawyer yell frantically to the na-
tives * °
’’Kill the dog, and run! Quickly,
you sons of mongrel ‘hyenas! Kill
him, and run!”
.French, German, Russian and Po
lish oaths suddenly rang out above
the pandemonium raging in the
room. The pressure of the natives
swarming over him lessened abrupt
ly, and Xerxes heaved himself to
his knees. Through the blood
streaming down his face, he saw
a wave of kepis sweep through the
arch from the passageway.
“■Stand where you are, or we'll
shoot you down like rates!” The
voice of a German noncom bawled
and without stopping to wonder
how they’d got there, Xerxes knew
that a patrol squad of Legionnaires
had somehow come to his rescue.
On his feet in a jump, Xerxes
saw Sawyer and Aben-el-Akr
plunging for the rug-draped door
way. Almost walking over the
backs of the scrambling natives,
Xerxes hurled himself at Curt Saw
yer. His fist caught Sawyer full on
the chin, spilling him . like a sack
of grain. Whirling, he wrapped his
arms around Aben-el-Akr, and
dragged the old scoundrel to the
floor.
“This way, sergeant!” he yelled.
“This way . . .!”
Xerxes staggered ■drunkenly to
his feet, dragging the old 'kaid,
Aiben-el-A(kr, with him. Curt Saw
yer lay senseless where he had fall
en.
“Here you are, sergeant,” he said.
“These are the two we want. Take
’em to the commandant, and tell
him the war’s over.”
The sergeant, a (huge glowering
fellow, picked up Sawyer by the
nape of the neck as he would have
a. puppy.
“Sergeant,” Xerxes panted, lean
ing against the wall for support.
“I want to thank you for getting
here when you did. About two sec
onds more and these gentlemen
would have had their initials carved
in my heart.” >
“There is no thanks fox’ me, lieu
tenant,” replied the sergeant. “The
thanks should go to the mademoi
selle who had the quickness of wit
to call me.” . «
‘“The .mademoiselle?” XerXes
mumbled weakly. “What mademoi

his face in his hands.
• Hie awoke an hour or so later to
the odor of antisceptics and a
feeling of being houpd hand and
foot, After a moment he realised
lie was lying on a hospital cot,
swathed in bandages from his an
kles to the top of his head,
“Hello," a voice said above him.
He looked up into Constance
Barteau’s face, then closed his eyes
again.
’Hello,” she repeated. “The nurse
said I could talk to you—and must
talk to you,”
Xerxes wondered hazily why she
hadn’t been arrested, but he was
too sick to asl< or tell her he didn’t
want her tp talk to him.“I don’t* know how much you’re
going to believe,” she said, “hut
I’m .going to tell you this any way,
You think I’m -a spy, don’t you?”
Xerxes remained quiet, He (knew
she was a spy.
“Well, I am,” she confirmed. “At
least, I was. My brother and I
both were spies—of a sort—for
Curt Sawyer.”
As sick as he felt,
flared in
slightly,

“Raoul
Constance went on quickly. “He
was Mr. Sawyer’s ‘special secre
tary.’ In other words, he handled
all the old man’s private business
matters. Matters so private iMr,
Sawyer dared let no one else touch
■them. And when he died, with his
affairs in a terrible muddle, Raoul
was made the goat. They said he’d
stolen the old man’s money and
■doctored the books to fool the
banks. Raoul didn’t do it.” Her
voice was vehement. “But he would
have been sent to prison if Curt
hadn’t stepped in .and protected
him. After that, Raoul was prac
tically Curt’s property,”
Xerxes found he wasn’t as sick
as he’d thought. Every mention of
Sawyer’s name had heightened his
anger ,a degree.' Abruptly he opened
his eyes.
“Why are you telling me?” he'
asked weakly. I don’t want to hear
about 'Sawyer or your brother . . .
or you, either, for that matter.”
“But you’re gping to,” Constance
replied almost relentlessly. “When
Curt came over here • he brought
■us with him. At first we thought
it, was to be a pleasure trip. We
found out differently. There was
all sorts of information, he wanted,
and as Raoul and I speak French—-
our parents died in France at .the
beginning of the war—Curt pressed
us Vito service as spies. He Ihad
that embezzlement charge to hold
over Raoul’s head, and Raoul, never
strong willed . . .”
“I see,” Xerxes managed a sar
castic, amused laugh. “Reminds
me of the movies I used to see back
home. The handsome villain hold
ing the weak brother over the
I weeping heroine to make her steal
Lady Wheedle-de-dee’s diamond
-hatpin. But 'did you have to carry
on your spy’s work so—thorough
ly?”Constance was silent a moment.
Her red lips tightened as she look
ed down on him.
“I didn’t do it at all!” she burst
out. “I did get some information
from you that second ,day in Tlaba
but that is all I ever did. Every
thing else, no matter how it seemed
to you, was to try to help you. I
■asked you to come out to the well
■that night 'because I knew they
planned to kill you on your way
back to camp from the cafe . . .”
“Granting that—which I don’t,”
Xerxes cut in cautiously, “I Sup
pose youve forgotten getting me to
leave my men ...”
“But I did that only so I could
tell you of the attack!” Constance
■cried, tears welling up in her eyes,
“There was .no other way I dared
get word to you. The .attack simply
came before I thought it would.
You can’t blame me fox' that, can
you? And 'I locked you in the old
jail to keep you—” she hesitated
an instant, “to keep you from being
killed. I knew you’,a try to go back
to your men regardless of .how
many natives there were. And then
when Curt, who had followed me
from Tlaba, came along I-
can’t you see if
were in that hut
you!”

Elimination Of Waste
First Rule For Health
Regular elimination of wastes
from the body is one of the para
mount rules for good health. , ,
burn’s Laxa-Liver Pills are of help
to faulty elimination. The combina
tion of laxative and tonic diugs
contained in' these pills make them
one of the most useful and. best
remedies for disordered condition of
the eliminatory organs.
Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills help
to stimulate the liver, dean the

on, biting his lip. “I—I simply 'did

He turned to Xerxes. “And that,
all due to your energy, lieutenant,
and to the integrity of your coun

Xerxes straightened up so quick

“You mean you’ve caught her too?”
he demanded.
“Caught?” The colonel’s eye
brows went up sharply. “But no,
lieutenant. It seems I misjudged
the lady in our conversation in El

of the plot to destroy the food and

Xerxes sank back on his pillow,
mopping bewilderedly at his face
with his bandaged hands.

men,’” Duroc announced, looking at
him closely. “Let us say good day.”
“Benedict,” the American officer
said, lingering as the' others with

this scrap you’ve just broken up.
I’d no ideaf who you were, of course,
