The knife was not the only weapon he had known in Servia; he carried a potato sack across his saddle-bow. Chauvenet and Durand sent him ahead to set the pace with his inferior mount. They talked together in low tones as they followed. "He is not so big a fool, this Armitage," remarked Durand. "He is quite deep, in fact.
Chauvenet and Durand had been brought out and placed in the buckboard, and these orders were intended for their ears. "We will waive our right to a writ of habeas corpus," remarked Durand cheerfully, as Claiborne flashed a lantern over them. "Dearest Jules, we shall not forget Monsieur Claiborne's courteous treatment of us." "Shut up!" snapped Chauvenet.
He at once sought the purser and scrutinized every name on the passenger list. It was unlikely that a steerage passenger could reach the saloon deck unobserved; a second cabin passenger might do so, however, and he sought among the names in the second cabin list for a clue. He did not believe that Chauvenet or Durand had boarded the King Edward.
"That was your chance to startle him a trifle, I should say," remarked the German. "He was the man, beyond doubt. There was no mistaking the cigarette ease. What I said was," continued Chauvenet, "'Allow me, Baron!" "Well spoken!" exclaimed the Spanish officer. "Not so well, either," laughed Chauvenet. "He had the best of it he's a clever man, I am obliged to admit!
It would be quite surprising if some perilous adventure did not overtake you before the silver gets in your hair." "Ah! I assure you the speculation interests me; but I must trouble you to let me pass," continued Chauvenet, in the same tone. "I shall quite forget that I set out to make a call if I linger longer in your charming society." "But I must ask you to delay your call for the present.
"I talked with him a number of times on the King Edward and must say that I liked him." "Chauvenet evidently knows him; there was undoubtedly something back of that little trick at my supper party at the Army and Navy," said Dick. "It might be explained " began the Baron; then he paused and looked from father to son. "Pardon me, but they both manifest some interest in Miss Claiborne."
Chauvenet was in Washington, at any rate, and not only there, but socially accepted and in the good graces of Shirley Claiborne. The somber attaché was speaking of the Japanese. "They must be crushed crushed," said Franzel. The two had been conversing in French.
He was speaking rapidly, and the slight hint of some other tongue than his usually fluent English arrested her ear now, as it had at other times. "In Geneva, when I told a young lady that I was waiting for a very wicked man to appear it was really the oddest thing in the world that almost immediately Monsieur Jules Chauvenet arrived at mine own inn!
Chauvenet staggered to his feet and his voice choked as he muttered his appeal. "Not Marhof!" "We can fix this among ourselves just wait a little, till we can talk over our affairs. You have quite the wrong impression of us, I assure you, Messieurs," protested Durand. "That is your misfortune! Thanks for the brandy, Monsieur Durand.
You've done what you set out to do you've found me; and you're traveling with me over the Virginia mountains to report my capture to Baron von Marhof. On the way you are going to assist in another affair that will be equally to your credit; and then if all goes well with us I'm going to give myself the pleasure of allowing Monsieur Chauvenet to tell you exactly who I am.
