We'd said enough between us, to send us both to the torture chamber,” addéd Le Sage. “Then obviously, my good Le Sage, Pedro Maligni was fooling you. He was giving you away to somebody who already ‘knew Malig-. ni's game, but didn’t know yours.” “Anyhow, theiS it was. Someone was listeiing, and the game wae up. If Pedro Maligni. knewthen I was trapped. If he aidh’t know— then we were both trapped, and my one idea was to get ont of the trap as quickly as possible.

So, in thy stupid way, Major Riccoli, I'd stumbled on the truth. I was right. “Good God,’ I was frightened. Woildn’t you have been, Major Riceoli?” “I do not know what fear is,” replied Riccoli, with a wave of the hand. “No? I envy you, Major RiéedM.
