Another arrival boldly claimed to be the American military attaché at the Paris Exposition, and then requested every one to keep the matter a secret for fear the War Department should hear of his presence in South Africa and recall him. On the way to Africa he had a marvellous midnight experience on board ship with a masked man who shot him through one of his hands.
He picked up his attache case and walked slowly to the door. A sharp exclamation broke from his lips. "Miss Trevert," he cried, "the door ... I shut it a little while back ... look, it's ajar!" The girl who stood at the fire switched on the electric light by the mantelpiece. "Is ... is ... the door defective? Doesn't it shut properly?"
And the picturesque little fellow with the helmet was the English military attaché. Crittenden had seen him at Chickamauga, and Grafton said they would hear of him in Cuba. The Prussian was handsome, and a Count. The big, boyish blond was a Russian, and a Prince, as was the quiet, modest, little Japanese a mighty warrior in his own country.

He'd take her money and herself off to Monte, and when he'd broken her heart and spoiled her life and spent her coin, he'd leave her, and go off and be Russian attaché in Japan or somewhere.

And then, as Pierre seemed surprised to see a prelate drive up in his carriage, the attache added: "Oh! you will elbow more than one of them upstairs.
"Bah!" said Lord Deloraine as he walked away with Mr Ormsby. "I remember that fellow a sort of equivocal attache at Paris, when we were there with Monmouth at the peace: and now he is a quasi ambassador, and ribboned and starred to the chin." "The only stars I have got," said Mr Ormsby demurely, "are four stars in India stock."
I slipped the contents of the attache case into my pockets. 'I'm going to drive you back, I said. 'I've got a car out there. 'Then you must take my bicycle and my servant too. He's an old friend of yours one Andrew Amos. 'Now how on earth did Andrew get over here? 'He's one of us, said Mary, laughing at my surprise.
Of course you know that the Salic law did not prevail in the kingdom of Aquazilia when it was a kingdom. Yes, it was a splendid court was that of Valoro when Her Majesty Inez the Second reigned over it.
