THE PORT OF MISSING MEN 3y ME'REVITH JVlCHOLSO/i. Author ol “The House of • Thousand Cindies” Wiih the spirits of deed and , royalties end statesmen j\r spectators and in a maze of mdiacral intrigue and romance, ,he love affair of Shirley Clai lorne and John Armitage »-ns brought to its happy conclusion— I mediaeval, we say. and advised j It, since, although the scenes of | oar tale are laid in up to date j Europe and Virginia, it is nec- j essary to hark back to the quaint j tales of the old time romancers j jor such stirring adventures as befell Shirley Claiborne of Vir ginia and John Armitage of— where ? Beautiful in the man fgr of southern maidens of high lineage, fine spirit and daring devotion was Shirley Claiborne, daughter of a famous diplomat and sister of Captain Dick Clai borre, the best rider in the American army. Boldly she be lieved in her lover, confident in her faith in him even when all her world had turned against him. And who was John Armi tage, to whom so much love was given and around whom so many great affairs revolved ? Read, and you shall learn from his story and his deeds of knightly bravery that the spirit of chiv alry and loyalty still abides in the prosaic, workaday, modern world, ready at the call of duty \ to fight against intrigue, ehican- j try. falsehood and crime. • EVENTS, EVENTS!" ev: HE knowledge that von are alive gives me no pleasure." growled the grim old Austrian pre mier. “Thank you!" laugh ed John Armitage. to whom he had •poken. "Yon have lost none of your old amiability, hut for a renowned diplo mat you are remarkably frank. When 1 called on you in I’aris a year ago I was aide to render you—I believe you admitted It—a slight service." Count Ferdinand von Stroehel bowed •lightly, hut did not take his eyes from the young man who sat opposite him !u his rooms at the Hotel Monte Rosa in Geneva. On the table between them stood an often dispatch box, and about it lay a number of packets of papers which the old gentleman, with char acterlstic caution, laid removed to his own sitli' of the table before admitting his caber He was a burly old man, with massive shoulders and a great head thickly covered with iron gray hair. He trusted no one, and this accounted for his presence in Geneva in March of the year 1SHJ3. whither he had gone to receive the report of the secret •gents whom he had lately dispatched to Paris on an errand of peculiar deli cacy The agents had failed in their mission, ami Von Stroehel was not tolerant of failure. It was not often that the light in the old man's eyes was as gentle as now He had sent his secret agents away •Dd was to return to Vienna on the following day. The young man whom he now entertained in his apartments received his whole attention. He pick ed up the card w hich lay ou the table •ad scrutinised it critically, while his eyes ghted with sudden humor. The card was a gentleman's carte de visile and bore the name John Armi tage. 1 iic!i. \e this is the same alias you "ere 10 4 when I saw you in Paris "here •111 you get it?" deman led the minister I rather liketl the sound of it, so I ha l tie nls made." replied the young than. Besides. it’s English, and 1 lass readily for an Englishman. I have .juite got used to it." "'Vita ti Is not particularly creditable hat it's probably just as well so." “I iio|s- you are well.” said Armitage badly. "I am not. I am anything but well, i *® an old man. and 1 have had no test for twenty years.” “It Is the penalty of greatness. It is Austria « good fortune that you have <ie oted yourself to the affairs of gov ernment i have read—oniy today in h* Contemporary Review—an admiro hie tribute to your sagacity in han diing the Servian affair. Vour work *a» masterly. 1 followed it from the beginning with deepest interest.” The old gentleman bowed half uu omwioush. for his thoughts were far ***.’ as the vague stare in bis small, •htewd eyes indicated. “Bnt yon are here for rest One romes to Geneva at this season for •“thing else." "■hat brings you here?” asked the man with sudden energy. “If the ^•Pers you gave me In Parts are for *3** and you are waiting"— 'rs Assuming that what should 1 "pairing for?— rr*u are waiting for events—for r*enuv if }00 elpet.t something to h»P;enr Araitojto laughed at the old gentle *“ c-irueet manner, asked if he -'*■! smoke and ligiited a cigarette. - doesn't suit me.

We hear ii frequently in \ i euna I ha\e heard It since you told me that sp.iy ami gate me those pa pers in Paris last year.” I am aware of that." replied John Armitage. "but I told you the truth He tiled in a Caaadiau lumtier cauip. We were in the north hunting You may re. all that he w as fond of that sort of thing " "Yes; I remember. There was noth ing else he did so well." grow led You Stroehet. “And the packet I gave you"— The old man nodded. "That pucket contained the Arch duke Karl s sworn arraignment of his wife. It is of great importance In deed to Francis, his worthless sou. or supi>osed son. who may present him self for coronation oue of these days!' "Not with Karl appearing iti ail parts of the world, ne'er quite dead □ever quite alive, and his soil. Fred eriek Augustus, lurking with him In the shadows Who knows whether they are dead?" | “I aiu the only (lerson on eartli in n ! position to make that clear," said John Armitage “Then you should give me the docn ments." “\o I prefer to keep them I as sure you that I have sworn proof of the death of the Arcbdukc Karl ami of his son, Frederick Augustus lhose pa|iers are in a box in the ISronx Loan and Trust company iu New York city.” "1 should have thorn! 1 must have them!" thundered the old man “In due season, but not just now In fact 1 have regretted parting with that document I gave you iu l'aris. It is safer in America than in V ienna it you please. 1 should like to have ii again, sir." The palsy in the old man's hands had increased, ami he strove to control his agitation, but fear had uever heen ret k<u I among his weaknesses, uml he turned stormiiy upon Armituge. “That packet is lost. 1 tell you!" lie blurted, as though it were something that ho had frequently explained be fore. "It was stuleu from uuder my very nose only a mouth ago! That's what I'm here for My agents are aft er the thief, and 1 came to Ceueva to meet them, to hud out why they have not caught him. I>o you imagine that 1 travel for pleasure at my age. Mr. John Arnntagei” “The packet has been stolen?” oh served Armituge calmly. "Whom do you suspect ot taking it ':" The old man leaned upou the table heavily. “That amiable Francis”— "The suggestion is not dismaying Francis wou.d not know an opportuni ty if it offered." "Hut hi* mother site is Hit- devil! blurted the old tnau. "l'ray drop that.” said Armitage in a toue that cause 1 tin- old man to look at hiui with a new scrutiny. "1 want the paper back for the very reason that it contains that awful indictment of her I have been uncomfortable ever since i gave it to you, and I came to ask you for it that 1 might keep it safe in "my own bauds. Hut the document is lost. Am 1 to understand that 1 rancis has it?” "Not yet .But ltambaud lias it. and It am baud and Francis are as thick as thieves.” "1 don't know KamUtud.

John Armitage You speak of that packet as though it were a (round of tea. Francis ami his friends Winkelried and Katnlaiud. are not chaser* of Crelliea.

I will fur nish you a list of his uoius de guerre." "Thank you. 1 should like all the information you care to give me. But It may amuse you to know that I have seen the gentleman before." '“That is possible,” remarked the old man. who never evinced surprise in any circumstances. “1 eipect to see him here within a few days." Count von Stroebel held up his emp ty glass and studied it attentively . i i i i i 'IlmntMiuill" lit ejcclnlmtfi. while ho waited for Artultage to ex plain why ho cxi>ected to see Uum baud In (Ionova “He is interested in a certain young woman, she reached here yesterday, and Kambaud. alias thauveuet. is quite likely to arrive within a day or eo.” “Jules (’hanvenet Is the correct name. 1 must ‘uform my men,” said the minister. “You wish to arrest him?” “You ought to know me lietter than that, Mr. John Armitage! Of course I shall not arrest him. Hut I must get that packet. 1 can't have It peddled all over Kuroiie, and I can't advertise my business by having him arrested here. If I could catch him once In Vienna I should know what to do with him. He ami Winkeiriod got hold of our plans in that Bulgarian affair last year and checkmated me He carries his wares to the ls*st buyers—Berlin and St. Petersburg So there's a wo man, Is there? I've found that there usually is!” “There's a very charming young American girl, to lie more exact.” The old man growled and eyed Arrni tage sharply, while Armitage studied the photograph. “I hope you are not meditating a preposterous marriage (io back w here you belong, make a proper marriage and wait"— “Events!" And John Armitage laugh ed. "I tell you. sir. that waiting Is not my forte. That's what I like about America. They’re up and at It over there. The man who waits Is lost" "They’re a lot of swine!” rumbled Von Stroeliel’s heavy bass. "I still owe allegiance to the 8cbom liurg crown, so don’t Imagine you are hitting me. But the sw ine are Indus trious and energetic. Who knows but that John Armitage might become fa mous among them—In politics. In finance! But for the deplorable arc! lent of fmeign birth he might be Mine [.resident of the I'nited States A« it is. there an- thousands of other offices worth getting—why not?" "I tel! you not to (*■ a fool. You are young and fairly clever.” Armltage laughed at the reluctance of the count's praise. “Thank you. with all my heart.” “tlo hack where you belong and you will have uo regrets Something may happen—who can tell? Events—events —if a man will watch and wait and rtudy. events. Itut" — he gnl|ied down more of the brandy—"where and bow do jou live?” “Where? I own a cattle ranch In Montana. and since the archduke's death ! have lived there. He carried about £50.000 to America with him He took care that 1 should get what was left when he died, and I am al most afraid to tell you that I have actu ally augmented my Inheritance. Just before I left I bought a place In Vir ginia to be uear Washington when I got tired of the ranch.” “Washington."" snorted the count “In due course It wtll be the storm center of the world." “You reed the wrong American news papers.” laughed Aruiitage. They were silent for a moment tn which each was busy with bis own thoughts. Then the count remarked in as amiable a tooe as be ever used: “Your French la first rate. Do you speak English as well?" “As readily as German, I think. You may reran that I had an English tutor, and maybe I did not tell you in that Interview at Paris that 1 had spent a year at Harvard university." “What the devil did you do that for?” growied Von Stroebel. “From curiosity or ambition, as you like. 1 waa In Cambridge at the law school for a year before Ibe archduke d e.1 That was three years ego. 1 am twenty-eight as you may remember 1 am detaining you; I have no wish to rake over the [wsL Iwit i am sorry I am very sorry - we can't meet on some common ground" “1 aak you to abandon this democrat | kr Mnwnw and conn* Kick JO,!
