In the most critical situation of her young life, Alma Waite gazed longing- | ly at the engagement ring upon her | finger and wondered if she would ever see its giver again. * “Where is he, and what ie to become of me!” was the constant burden of her thoughts. A knight errant brave and true, | Adrian Bond would have been speedily coming to the rescue of his lady love in distress, but that grim visaged war had presented its ugly menace and | rude clamors shook the common- wealth. Her father and mother were at ! Paris. There, too, were the Bonds, making the European trip with their | closest friends. It was a strange cir- cumstance that had taken Alma away | from them. It appeared that a half-| brother of Mrs. Waite lived in a little town in Belgium, near the German border. He had invited the family to | pay him a visit, but their plans would ‘ not admit of it. Then he expressed a wish to see Alma, who had been named | after his dead wife. He was fervent in his appeal and half-minded to give up his business and return to America, he said. The result was that Alma took a quick trip from Paris and found herself an honored guest in the splen- did but lonely home of her half-uncle. ' Zephern Dacre was a diamond mer- chant, conducting his business by trav- | eling from country to country. Alma was enchanted with the kindly way in which he treated her. She was to have remained with her relative only | three days, but Mr. Dacre made up his mind to close up his business, accom- pany her to Paris and return with the family to America and take up a per- manent residence there. | Directly upon the heels of this came | a declaration of war. Mr. Dacre has- tened his preparations to get out of the country. He urged Alma to re- main indoors, for the community sur- as % H | | e A Loud Summons From the End of a . Musket. l rounding them was in a wild state of excitement. i The evening before the day set for their departure Mr. Dacre discharged ' all the servants. Just about dusk he came hurrying into the house in a' great state of excitement, “Why, what is the matter?” ques- | tioned Alma anxiously, as she noted his colorless face and trembling frame. | “Listen, my dear,” said Mr. Ducro! hurriedly. “You must leave here at ' once if a certain thing happens, and it ' may happen quickly. The war spirit ' is abroad. They are suspicious of me | because of my bueiness connections with other countries. I was just secret- ly advised that I am listed as one of the proscribed.” “Oh, uncle, they will do you no harm, surely 1" “They will hamper, perhaps arrest me. I was all ready to leave here in the morning. I fear they will not al- low me to do so0.” . “But why not?” “Officious, and in some cases cor- rupt persons will try to prevent me from taking my fortune out of the country. See, Alma,” and Dacre drew a little chamols bag from a secret pocket, “the dlamonds in this repre- sent the bulk of my fortune. Take it, secrete it. If I am arrested iy at once —not into Germany, as we proposed, for that couree is blocked, but straight for Paris.” “But, uncle—" “Quick! they are here already, as 1 feared,” cried Mr. Dacre. His worst apprehensions were con- firmed. There was a loud summons from the end of a musket at the street door. “Do not lose your nerve, dear child,” spoke Dacre. “They dare not harm me and I will soon join you in Paris. Hurry away through the rear garden, take the first train for the border., At' all hazards protect the fortune with which I have entrusted you.” Then he was gone to anewer the im- puerlouuu summons at the street door. ma lingered only long enough learn that he was really u::n {': charge as a suspect. Then she filled her handbag, secured the jewels na safe pocket and hurried away through he garden apparently unobserved. \ DB B OB | the lurking Boyard.

She tried not to think that she was cowardly in deserting a relative in trouble. Shé felt relieved when the train started. Then she stared in wonder and even ! suspicion at the other occupant of the : carriage. There sat a person who un- til the day previous had been a ser- | vant, a sort of major domo in the ser- | vice of her uncle. He lifted his cap with a servile smirk on his face Alma | did not at all like. “The master is in trouble,” he re- | marked. “I have heard of it. I, too, | may be proscribed and I am bound for another country. If mademoiselle will | allow, I will do what I can to see her safely acrose the border.” I Alma murmured her thanks. She did not like the man. She was sus- picious of his ready presence. She fancied her uncle had said something about his being untrustworthy.

Just at daybreak the train was halt- ed at a little town in the mountains. A body of soldiers ordered all to! alight; Boyard was carrying the little satchel belonging to Alma. Suddenly he disappeared. He did not return. Then Alma wae persuaded that he had made away with it, believing its con- tents valuable. Her passport was gone. She was ordered to remain in the country.
