'You can deceive me no more, my lord Sagan! he cried in a high excited voice. 'You took Colendorp from me, you would now take Rallywood, one by one all my faithful Guard! But I am sovereign still! You shall not tamper any longer with my loyal State; you shall never bring your traitorous German schemes to an issue! But there were things impossible for Count Simon of Sagan to endure.
He took a pleasure in the Englishman's frank readiness. 'I have to thank you for your energy in the matter of Colendorp, he began. 'We have, however, decided to leave the whole affair in abeyance for the present. So M. Selpdorf has sent for you. What for? he added with the curiosity of an idle man. 'I do not know, sire.
'The only difficulty would be to find a nation sufficiently disinterested for our purpose, my lord, replied Colendorp deliberately. 'I have found one. Sagan indicated Elmur, but the Guardsman still kept his gaze on the Count. 'Only one small obstacle stands in the way of carrying out our plans the plans, recollect, of the wisest and most patriotic of our countrymen. I need not name it.
Unziar's generosity rose to the occasion. 'Our gain in the Guard is your loss in the Cavalry, Colonel Jenard, he said handsomely.

'How came you to miss him, Unziar? Unziar raised his eyebrows. 'Who can tell?
Rallywood glanced down into the shallow grave; a lump of frosty earth slipped from the rugged heap above and settled into a crevice of the cloak that covered Colendorp. 'My men are burying him.

You don't wish to appear in the matter is that it? By St. Anthony, von Elmur, you showed me the road that has brought me to this pass and you will have to stand by me now! Also you are wrong about Colendorp. When he sees for himself that I have Germany behind me, it will decide his doubts if he has any, which I don't expect. I have read the man.
Colendorp and Adolf, as representing Unziar, accompanied Rallywood's seconds to make the necessary arrangements. Meanwhile, Rallywood strolled back to the gallery above the ballroom, and looked down at the dancers.
'We have murder here! The words fell like an accusation. Rallywood's eyes were alight now. It took little penetration to picture how Colendorp had met his death. Round the grave, Sagan's horse with its heavy smoking quarters trampled and fretted under the remorseless hand upon the curb. The Count could bear no more opposition. His fury overcame him.
Then another door was opened and the tsa swept in with a wild yell, for a moment holding upright the failing man who staggered out on to the snowy terrace, making a tragic centre to the flickering path of light cast by the lamp in Elmur's hand. For an instant Colendorp stood swaying on the yielding snow by the edge of the precipice, and as he swayed his voice climbed through his broken throat
'And if the Duke does not consent to any changes? asked Colendorp coldly. At this juncture Elmur interposed. 'The Count will ex But Sagan was rushing his fences now like a vicious horse. Having once given voice to his ambitions he had no longer the power to rein in his speech. 'By your leave, Baron von Elmur, I will speak! Colendorp, you are a man to whom the world may yet give much.
