You may kill me here or strangle me or stick a knife into me, if you will be better satisfied that way; or you may kill him and hide his body in these hills; but, by God, there will be no escape for you! The highest powers of my government know that I am here; Baron von Marhof knows that I am here.
"Is Baron von Marhof in the room?" he asked of Armitage, fumbling nervously at his monocle. The Austrian Ambassador, with several ladies, and led by Senator Sanderson, was approaching. The attaché hurried to his chief and addressed him in a low tone. The Ambassador stopped, grew very white, and stared at the messenger for a moment in blank unbelief.
On returning from the ball at the inn she found Dick still absent, and when at six o'clock he had not returned she called her father and they had set off together for the hills, toward which, the stablemen reported, Dick had ridden. They had met Oscar just outside the Springs, and had returned to the hotel for Baron von Marhof.
They didn't get off their message at Lamar, because the office is closed and the operator gone, and they will keep out of the valley and away from the big inn, because they are rather worried by this time and not anxious to get too near Marhof. They've probably decided to go to the next station below Lamar to do their telegraphing. Meanwhile they haven't got me!"

"Yes; I have been a soldier; but after this little war I shall bury the dead. In an hour I shall be back to drive the buckboard to Lamar station." Claiborne looked at his watch. "I will go with you," he said.
If you make a row about going on board your boat at Baltimore, remember they are government agents, with ample authority for any emergency, and that Baron von Marhof has the American State Department at his back." "You are wonderful, Captain Claiborne," drawled Durand. "There is no trap in this? You give us the freedom of the sea?" demanded Chauvenet.
A wave of color swept her face, and then her anger passed and she was her usual good-natured self. "Baron von Marhof is a charming old gentleman, isn't he?" "He's a regular old brick," declared Dick solemnly. "It's a great privilege for a young man like you to know him, Dick, and to have private talks with him and the governor about subjects of deep importance.
