OED UNDER FIRE "1 meau Mies Whicheeter, The count is infatuated with the California beauty. He lies failed to win her by fear means, and I suppose now intends to try emething else. Whether it is his object to hold her here until she promises to Marry him or for a =Sone I cannot say. It is enough that our lady Mad is in (banger, and must look • to us for protection."

Altogether they seem a sociable party, though if one watched carefully, he would see a number of little things that indicate a peculiar state -straws that show which way the current flows; and these email matters give indications of the unnatur- al state of affairs beneath the surface of the stream. The count never addressea a remark to Baron Sam, though speaking to the Canadian athlete. More thaa once, while Sem is speaking, hie eyes fall upon the American, and to see the black frown that marks the count's physiog- nomy, one would not have much diffi- aulty in gueseing that the Italian has not forgotten. wait, allowing nothing to hoodwinat us. The game will soon be played fur en- ough for us to catch, on. ' Meanwhile, don't let them suspect that we know." They join the others, and appear to be quite e,t lime, and entirely unsus- piteous. The prince addresses them, and they ask Truly questions 000» concerning the trete, ids lonely life in How could lie when with even the slightest movement of the arm he feels a twinge of pain that almoet forces a groan from between his set teeth, and thus suffering acute anguish, hears the hated voice of the man who has caused him 'to assume the ro/e of a wounded warrior. Italians have good memories -they forget not either a goad deed or a grievance, and are eelebreted for being remarkable hitters, equal to the Span- iards or Corsicans. This thee .pases, and as the hour grows later tbe ladies show evidences of some fatigue, so that at any moment they may be expected to express a wish to retire. Sam Buxton has made up his mind to take Aileen into the secret. With an ordinary girl he would have much doubt as to the propriety of such a thing, for the chances are she would become ner- vous and betray him, but Aileen is much different from the general run of girls -her eaely life in the mines with her father developed sterling trait e of in- dependent charaeter that can be relief upon to carry her through a crisis. So Sam touches bee. men and says: "Would you mind walking with ute for a few minutes, Miss Aileen -I have something I desire to say to you -of the gravest importance." . - The two Italians chenced to be engag- ed for the moment with Miss Dorothy, who is endeavoring to prove that her ancestors must have come over with. Columbus. So Aileen, seizing the op- portunity, tarns and welke with the American down the 'nalis-ehe accepts his arm, in order the baler to insure them against interruptior while they con- verse. Sams' first move is to warn her against betraying emotion, and having thus steeled her nerves, he gradually leads to the subject, telling her of the startling discovery they.bave made, and what the consequences may be unless they combine to outwit the foe. She takes it even better than he ex- pected, and by no sign betrays emotion. Even when she speaks her yoke is calm. Sam admires her more than ever -truly, she is 4 girl among a thousand. "It is a strange question to ask, Miss Aileen," he says, finally, when all has been told, "hut of considerable import- ance -are you armed?"

I can do justice to his lessons, I believe," she replies, modestly. Sara glaws with pleasure. Here is a girl after hie own heart. Ito has little esteem for those weakly creatures who faint at the sight of a spider. Ile adores independence Jena a capacity for taking bare of one's self, and the scare- ity -of these qualities among the other sex has kept him it header so long. He gives her clireetiorie hoW to men - ago under certain conditions, and she repeats his words in a celm way that shows she understands. The American is satisfied with his work, and leek that there is it good chence while all a them pull together. Itcheers him to knosv that Aileen he. Heves 111 him, and trusts 11101. Unoonseiously this California girl ia glowing very dear to Sans Buxton.

He has kept her away from the others long enough, And trait see the Italian leeking toward him with dark frowns. Not bee:time he fear's their bet from policy, Sam Buxton now creeks jokes, and has Aileen laughing. Then they stroll In the direction of thc °there and tejoin them. It laie reitelted tht hour Wheh it is natural flea flees Mutat think of re- tiring. Thie is the critieel timo, tined Oak gentlemen newt be separated from the hullos, and it is then that the evil • plans of the Hellen will be put Into execution. bane has .erideavercel to pro. vide for this in hie Wk. with Aileen. The young girl will protest against being led to any remote part of the castle -her sleeping -room must be near that of the eountrymen whom eho neeke upon in the light of 'protector. In ids courtly way the count finally declares that the others mast be tired, and that his friend, the prim, will be glad to show the ladies to the beet romn the ettetle afforde, a ellaMber in witich kinge have slept. This tleales Miss Dorothy -it towhee her heart; .to Weep in a bed that royalty has occupied, even if it be. a bat - a wreck, will give her exquisite) hleaellte. She opens her mouth to exclaim in rap, ture how eagerly she accepts,, then ele- Yates, her hands In holy horror upon hearing Aileen respectully but firmly decline the honor. "You will pardon ue; prince, for ap- •pearing rude, but we are in a strange place and do not wish to be far separ- ated 'from our countrymen.. If you have crier travelled in the States you would appreciate the feeling one has for those of her native Iand, We cannot be sep- arateti from our protectore," "But," ejaculates the nettsled arfllee, who *moue to understand English and seealt tt fairly well, "you ere under my roof -the honor of an Italian nobleman will be is guarantee for your safety, signorine." "Over in our country, prince, we care nothing for titles -it is the man we look at, You are very kind, and I thank you, but I am de- termined not to be separated from our fellow -countrymen," She says it in suth a firm way Pat the owner of the cestle is dismayed. Plainly, he is not used to having a girl twist him around her finger; He turns thward the count. That worthy speaks some words in a low tone, as though mastering the dif- ficulty, being keener of mind than the prince. The latter finally smiles again, and turns to Aileen, assuring her that he has no wish to separate the ladies from their protectors -that there is it room opening into the hall which they can use, if they wish, but it is not to be compared to the state room where royalty had been entertained. As for the gentlemen, cots will be spread for them in the great hall. Will this arrange- ment suit? It is the best he can devise. Aileen glances toward Sam, as though risking whether this arrangement meets his approval, and. upon receiving a nod in the affirmative, thanks the prince cordially, accepting the situation. The two Italians are quite put out, and their faces show the fact. Some neatly contrived plan has been entirely disarranged, and they must scheme anew. The game is still young, hqwever, and there is plenty of time. As for Aunt Dorothy, she is secretly indignant at the seerniaglee cruel treat- ment of the nobleman, but is accustom- ed to the nueer ways ot her independent niece, so that she holds her peace, only reiningber eyes with despair, and shrugging her sbouldere in a way time would be a credit to e French madam. She wants the dear prince and the Apollo of it count to understand that this is none of her doing -that she does not hold herself responsible for the vagaries of the independent young woman arho has a fortune back Of her amounting to millions. If it were left with Miss Dor- othy, they would see how eagerly she would accept the honor Aileen coolly de - alines. It is evident that the Pueitan spinater has been greatly taken by the prinee-she may even be indulging, in some sweet, maidenly thoughts on the subject of a princess -who knowel The new situation renders necessary a rearrangement of the Italians' plans. They withdraw to consult. The prince orders his retains about like dogs, Some of them run this way, others that, until the scene is laughable in its confusion. Evidently the apartment now offered to the ladies is tlte prince's own, and he is desirous of changing a careless old bachelor's room to one fit for the pres- ence of ladies. Our friends smile at the eonfusion, all but Mies Dorothy, who endeavors, to sympathize with the prince, and looks another way ae the different traps are carried' out of the bachelor den. The prince Apologizes, and laughs with the rest to hide his confusiop. By degrees order is restored out of chaos. A couple of Cots are made up in tile great • dining -hall of the castle, which will serve Sans and his friend fairly well. This looks like bueinees, but the gentlemen, are not at all deceived - they know that miechief is intended, and are not likely to be caught nap- ping. "All is ready, signorina," says the prince, bowing to Mimi Derothy. "You evill pardon me if things areenot what they should be. The teak of womanly hands about our castle is painfully evi- dent at times." "That is true, prince. No house can be well kept without a mistress. princess here would trans- form this place to a. delightful reel- dence"•'with Which sly remark Mies Dorothy follows Aileen, who bas good -night to the gentlemen) and en- tered the apartment. CHAPTER VIIL "Make a note of that door," Says Sam Buxton, in an undertOno to his comrade. "I did that just as soon as they en- tered," returns the other, "like the girl in the 'Forty Thieved! I looked for a red chalk mark to identify it, and sure enough it was there, or something that aeswered as well. Notice the jamb, my boy, and you will isee there isit pica missing.
