THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, Variant Dust] (DARROW CYNICAL by Percival Christopher Wren oo CHAPTER XXXXVIL Another Plot. e OFFEE, Hassan, quickly,” sald [y Jules, and slyly made a se- cret sign. Swiftly Hassan departed, and, a few moments later, was seated in his nearby stone cell be- fore a small brazier wherein a fire perpets smoldered and water was ready for the making of coffee or mint | tea at any time. Having set the coffee to boil, Hassan | e Miskeen now departed from his ac- | eustomed unchanging ritual. | Pulling a stone from the wall, he put his hand into the aperture thus dis- closed and brought forth a tiny amulet bo: X. From this he shook a quantity of | dirty white powder into the coffee pot. | And smacking his lips, Hassan el| Miskeen stirred the brew once more and then hurried with laden tray to his master's room. When Hassan el Miskeen entered, he found his master | seated cross-legged upon a divan, a bottle of brandy and a glass upon & | Jow table by his side. | Seated opposite to him, lolling in | comfort, smoking a cigarette, Raisul smiled enigmatically. { “Put the coffee beside the Sidi,” or: dered_Jules. s And having obeyed, Hassan el Mis- keen departed from the room and sat himself down within sight of the door to watch and to wait. Would that human devil actually die | there in the room? Might Hassan be | called, to go quickly for help, and look- | ing into the room might he actually see | him contorted and writhing in the| throes of death: with his own eye: see him dying there in dreadful agony, even as he had caused so many others to die in agony? | Smiling, almost chuckling, at his| thoughts, Raisul poured himself a cup | of coffee. “Aren’t you going to have a little drink, Jules?” he asked, nodding to- ward the brandy bottle. | “Rather. I was only waiting until you—" | “Oh, don't wait for me, my dear | ehap,” and Raisul stirred his coffee. ! Jules poured himself a generous measure of brandy. “Allah,” he said, “that funny,” and smacked his clicked his tongue doubtfully. “Brandy wrong, or your liver?” smiled | Raisul, still stirring the untasted coffee. | “My lver's all ri,” observed Jules, | who suddenly seemed a little drunk. “So’s the brandy,” replied Raisul. “Try it again.” Jules Maligni tried it again. { “’Snasty,” he said. “Bin in boll too Jong—" | Raisul laughted. | “Look here, aren’t you going to drink | your—hic—coffee?” Raisul again laughed merrily. ‘No, I don't think I'll drink any coffee tonight, Jules, you half-baked Borgia.” “Whassyou say?” “I said, ‘Come along to my room now.' I'm going to show you some- thing. Something really good. I'll give you my word. Come on with you.” “Rope!” observed Raisul to Jules Maligni as they sat in the former's room a few minutes later. “Bear your weight, wouldn't it, Jules, if it were round your neck.” | “I should shay sho,” laughed the other, less vacantly. 1 “Yes, a very nice rope,” continued | Raisul, “and it gives me a very nice | idea. Strong enough and, I think, long enough.” | “For what?” asked Jules Maligni. ‘ “T'll show you, as I promised. Great | idea. Come along,” and going to the door Raisul bade Jules Maligni bring the rope. “I say, you know, old chappie, you don’t think you’re going to—hic—hang me, do you?” \ tastes— | lips and | you. Come along, will you?” And followed obediently by his com- panion with the rope, and soon by Hassan el Miskeen, Raisul proceeded. ! by devious ways, to a distant part of | the citadel. . | “This is the place,” said Raisul at length. “At least, I think it is. I want you to lean through that embrasure and | hang over and tell me what you can see straight below. Be very careful and | don’t lean out too far.” | - Jules Maligni obeyed bis cousin, as always. | “Nothing there. Can't see any—hic i) . “All clear, eh? Right. Now stand up like a man, | straight and steady, and look at the horizon. What can you see?” “Nothing. Can't see any—hic— thing.” “Well, you will in a moment.” re. lied Raisul, and, standing behind Ma- igni, he swiftly bent over backward and raised his foot as does the savate fighter, with beck-drawn kner Suddenly, with tremendous force and swiftness, the foot shot out, the sole taking Maligni squarely belween the shoulder blades, and hurling him for- ward. i His legs struck the edge of the low ' CROLDENBERGGS | snaps shut . .. securing keys.

Raisul turned away. “And now for the little rope trick,” quoth he, and smiled his own especial smile. * k% % What was to be the end of it all— the end of her—Margaret wondered as he again assured herself that the huge key of her door was turned as far as it would go and that both the great heavy bolts were shot home. Having undressed, she went to the| little stone veranda-balcony built out from the wall of the room, that vast wall, 10 feet thick even at this great height, which was part of the outer| wall of the castle itself. ‘Yawning heavily, for sleep of late had been light, scanty and broken, Mar- garet flung herself down upon the over- cushioned bed and once again tried all the sleep-wooing devices of which she had ever heard But what folly to think that she could sleep while Otho was lying bound and gagged, perhaps maimed for life. What was that? A cry? A terrible situation follows, tomor- | row, upon that eerie cry. | -— i Music Program Arranged.
