Blages opened her window s lently, and lowered to the ground a rope that was fearfully and wonder fully made. She had used everything and anything, from pillow slips to the cords of the portieres. She had enough rope to let her out of a six- story bullding, Instead of from a win- ground. The ¢ad of the rope she tied | to & table mar the window.

At sight of the rope he bright- eoned up. “Jump oud,”he suggested. “Silly!” she said; “T've got to climd He took hold of the lower end and ' mmmmmm buildiag.

She was afraid to trust herself to the frail means of reaching the earth, and he was insistent that she should come down at once. In the midst of thelr talk the front door opened. Mrs, Blazes heard the sound and darted back from the window, taking the rope in with her so swiftly that she left the Count standing with his hands in the air. Amos Medders came slowly down th steps, looking Intently at the whom he could not recognize ‘. The Count had not heard g and could not understand why Mis. Blazes had pulled the rope in so suddenly. Count von Fitz was dumbfounded when he was seized in a grip of ron and the cold tones of Medders came: “What are thee doing, scoundrel? General Blases came up the walk at that instant. He had his hat in his hand and was still laboring under ex- gitement. When he saw Medders strug: gling with the Count he leaped into the fray and separated them. “What's happening?” he asked. "Wcll I am surprised,” Medders I thought this foolish littie m here was a burglar.” “What foolish little man?” Blases “This one they call a Count—this tutor. I thought he was trylng to break into the house.” “Wouldn't be surprised if he was,” Blases asserted, vehemeatly. “lsn't your daughter in there? Isn't Harry's sister in there? These Counts will do llnlln'c to capture a girl with money." “It 1ss not so!" Count von Fits sput- tered, rubdbing his meck. *“Verily, thee bas a suspicious look,” Medders sald to him. “Its & gam dood thing I happened along,” Blases observed, “A what, friend?” Medders inquired curiously. “A gam dood thing—doesn't ocount, you know when you cuss backwards.” “Verlly,” Medders said, “there be times when a man could cuss side wise.” “Well,” Blazes sald, turning again to Count von Fits. “It's a lucky thing for you there was nothing in the re- day. I'm a jealous man. I'm desper ate when I'm roused.” “Don’t rouse!” the Count begged. “Once,” the General sald “I caught & man flirting with her. What did I do? “Vat did you do?” the Count asked, weakly. “They buried his hat,” the General sald. “Just his hat! Just—his—hat!” “Chust his hat!” the Count echoed. Mentaliy he wondered if it had been & yellow hat with red poppies. “Thou art a man of wrath, General,” Medders said. “Once I grew angry at a man—in my youthful days.” “And what did you do to him, man of peace?” asked the General, laugh- ing, while the Count listened nervous- “In those days,” Medders said, “1 was vain of my strength and given to ylelding to my angry passions. I went unto this man, and [ selzed him thus—" Before the Count could dodge, Med: ders held him as though in a vige. “And I sald unto him: ‘Thou com- demned wretch, dost thou not know it is unwise so to conduct thyself in our And [ smote him thus, and shook him thus”—illustrating upon midst? the helpless Count—"and then I sald unto him that if he offended me again 1 should smite him full sore.” “Please,” begged the Count, “please don'd remember anything else!™ “I beg thy pardon,” Medders said, | contritely. “I did forget myseif.” “Come In out of the night air, gen- tlemen,” suggested Harry, who came to the door just then. The trio, smil- ing over the unconscious way in which Medders had shaken the Count, start- ed in, when a messenger boy arrived. He carried a large hat box.
