Tha good looking Mr. Chase, writh-

Before Chase leftLondon Sir John
Brodney.bluntly cautioned him against

of disaster upon his cheek, And yet,
he walked among them without fear,

dragged Lady Agnes aside and pro-
posed the banquet, the dance, the con-
cert—everything--and it was he who
carried out the. hundred: spasmodic in-
structions that she gave.
Late in the night, long after the din-
ner and the dance, the. tired but. happy
company' docked to the picturesque
hanging garden for rest and the last
refreshment.
' The banging garden was a wonder-
fully constructed open: air plalsance
suspended between the chateau, itself
and the. great cliff in whose shadow it
stood. The cliff towered at least 300
feet above the roof of the spreading
chateau, . a veritable stone wall that
extended for a mile or more in either,
direction:
Near the chateau there was a real,
waterfall, reminding one in no small
sense of .the. misty veils at Lauter-
brunnen or, Giesbach. The' swift
stream which obtained life from these
falls, big and little, ran along the base
of the cliff for some distance and was
then diverted' by means of a deep, ar-
tificial channel •into an' almost` com-
plete circuit of the chateau, 'forming
the moat. . It .sped' along at .the foot
of the upper terrace, a wide;. torrent"
that washed between solid walls of.
masonry,, -e;hick rose to a height of not
less than tem feet on either' side. • There
were two dra bridges, seldom used,
but always practicable. A small sea-.

which one - ascended to the caverns.
that ran far back into the mountain;
Two big black irregular holes in, the
face- of. the cliff marked the entrance
to these deep, rambling caves, wonder -
caverns wrought by the convui
sions of the dead volcano, cracks made
by' these splintering earthquakes when
the island was new.
The garden bung high between the
building and the cliff', swung..' by a
score of great steel cables. These ca-
bles were riveted soundly in the' solid
rock of the cliff at one end and fasten-
ed as safely to the stone walls of ,the
chateau at the other. , It swung :stanch-
