wishing them to see that the sight of
these things puzzled him
"Pretty trinkets! Hut such games

"Where is John Armitage?”
Chauvenet half raised his right arm

Claiborne did not move, lie smiled

the mantel shelf

"Come! We waste time.” said Du
fund in French "It Is a trap. We
must not lie caught here!"
"Yes, you'd lietter go." said Ctal
liorne. yawning and settling himself In

fireplace. “1 don't believe Armitage

He stepped to the table, his hands
in his pockets, and bowed to them.
"tiood night, and clear out." and he
waved his arm in dismissal.
"Come!" said Durand peremptorily.

As he held it thus heavy steps sound

frankly that 1 have blown hot and cold
about you as 1 never did lief.ire with
another man in my life. Ou the ship

Washington 1 thought well of you.
Then your cigarette case shook uiy
confidence in you there at the Army
and Navy club that night, and now"—
“D— my cigarette case!” bellowed
Ann it age. clapping his hand to his
pocket to make sure of it
“That's what l say! But tt was a
disagreeable situation. You must ad
mit that,”
“It was indeed!"
“It requires some nerve for a man to
tell a circumstantial story like that to
a tableful of gentlemen about one of
the gentlemen!"
"No doubt of It whatever, Mr. Clai
borne."
Armltnge unbuttoned his coat and
Jerked hack the lajiels Impatiently.
"And I knew as much about M.
Chauveuet as 1 did aliout you or as I
do about you."
“What you know of him. Mr. Clai
borne, is of no consequence. And what
you dou't know about me would fill a
large volume. How did you get here,
■nd what do you propose doing now
that you are beret 1 am in a hurry
and have no time to waste. If I can't
get anything satisfactory out of you
within two minutes I'm going to chuck
you back into the sack."
"1 came up here in the hills to look
for you—you—you! I»o you under
stand?" began Claiborne angrily. "Ami
as 1 was riding along the road aliout
two miles from here 1 ran Into three
men on horseback. When 1 stopped to
parley with them and find out what
thej were doing they crept up on me
and grabbed my horse and put that
sack over my head. They had mistak

here, into your house, and pulled the
sack off and were decidedly disagreea
h!e at finding they Ijad made n mis

you came in I was picking up your
traps, and 1 submit that the sword is
handsome enough to challenge any
body's eye. And there's nil there Is of
the story, and 1 don’t care whether
you believe It or not.”
Their eyes were fixed upon each oth
er in a gaze of anger and resentment.
Suddenly Armitage's tense figure re
laxed, the fierce light in his eyes gave
way to a gleam of humor, and he
laughed long and load.
“Your face—your face, Claiborne. It’s
funny. It's too funny for any use
When your teeth show. It's something
ghastly. For Cod's sake, go In there
and wash your face!"
He made a light in his own room and
plied Claiborne with towels, while he
rout In ued to break forth occasionally
iu fresh bursts of laughter. When
they went into the hall both men were
grave.
"Claiborne”—
Amiitage pat out his hand, and Clat
borne took it in a vigorous clasp
“You don't know who I am or what I
am. anil I haven't got time to tell you
now. It's a long story, and 1 have
much to do. hut I swear to you. Clai

the game 1 am playing is no affair of

“Marbof may go to the devil! He’s a

Arndtage. These fellows that brought
me up here to kill me In the belief that
I waa you cannot be friends of Mar

“They are not. 1 assure you they ars
not. They are blackguards of the black

up a cartridge belt and reappeared
