CHAPTER IX—Continued
—11—
“From what you tell me," he said,
4*the countryside appears to be lit
tered with cars; our immediate vi
cinity. however, seems to have been
neglected. We must, therefore,
wait for Barley. He's a Job of work
to do and he won’t be here for
another hour and a half. Still,
that’ll give us time to settle two
or three points. And between you
and me. It’s as well that you had
that sleep, for unless I'm much
mistaken, you won’t have time for
sleep for the next few hours.
“With regard to the promise Lady
Helena gave to Pharaoh. ... If
you hadn’t tieen overwrought, l like
to believe that your reason would
have told you that from every point
of view that promise was no more
binding than a bucket of Glauber’s
salt. For one tiling, it was exacted
—she promised under duress. For
another, let's quote his own words.
‘Because you have scruples you are
weighted clean out of this race. I
am not so embarrassed—I never
am.’ He makes that arresting state
ment, and then within five minutes
he has the blasted effrontery to
prove it up to the hilt. No wonder
he left the room quickly; he was
probably worried to death that Dew
drop would burst out laughing be
fore he could get him outside. If
you must have another reason. Pha
raoh let you both go because he
was stuck. As long as you two sat
there, he could not move. More.
The warden’s suspicions were
aroused and the house was full of
your men; his only chance was to
take up the role he asked for—the
L role of the Countess’ guest.
“So much for the promise to Pha
raoh. Now for the Count, fie must,
of course, be held till Pharoah Is
dead. Barley’s attending to that.
Last night, at the Reaping Hook,
he very properly held his tongue,
but he knew Just as well as you
what a valuable prize you’d made.
Like guest, like host, you know. In
fact, to be honest, we’d been hop
ing to make It ourselves. You
mustn’t think we’ve been Idle.
We’ve watched and listened and
learned a whale of a lot And the
Count's removal stood very high on
our list. Well, as I say. Barley's
attending to that. That’s the Job
he’s on now—shunting the Count.
“And now for you. I’m not go
ing to labor the point, because you
seem so sore, but I suppose you
realize that you were—er—evacu
ated In order to save your life. I
mean, you can’t really believe that
Pharaoh, If he can help It, Is go
ing to let you live.’’
“I haven’t really thought about
tt," said I. “He’s certainly tried
to kill me and if he gets the chance
I imagine he’ll try again.”
“Don’t Imagine,” said Geoffrey.
“Believe. Believe that he’ll go on
trying for the rest of his life. Your
death-warrant was signed that
morning at Annabel. 10 days ago.
As long as you’re useful, he’ll use
you—be sure of that. He meant to
squeeze the Countess through you
But when he had got what he want
ed, you were to die.
“And that brings us to her la
dyship. This appears to be deli
cate ground, so I wouldn't say
much. But, if you please, ask your
self this. Why didn’t she leave
with you last night, as she did five
nights ago? A possible answer is
that she may have thought you’d
prove mulish—jib at breaking her
promise to the rottenest swine that
ever took a girl by the throat. But
the great probability is that she
wanted to do a deal. She meant
to see Pharaoh and ask him the
price of your life. Thanks to He
lena Yorlck’s efforts, you’re still
alive, though why she should both
er about you is more than I can
conceive.
“Now this is what I propose. As
soon as Barley returns we make at
once for Plumage and close down
Bugle—not Rush. Rush Is ripe for
accession; rats leave a sinking
ahlp. He may have something to
tell us. If not, we proceed to the
castle—complete with Rush. We
use the tunnel and footbridge and
Rush can unlock the doors. Then
we get hold of the warden and put
him wise. From him we can
learn—’*
And there he stopped dead, with
his eyes on the foliage behind me
and his pipe halfway to his mouth.
As 1 turned to follow his gaze,
Sabre leaped out of the beechwood
and over the brook.
For a moment the great dog
nosed me, moving his tall, and then,
before 1 could think, he was gone
the way he had come.
I was just in time to see Sabre
pass over a shoulder and flash out
of view. Somewhere beyond his
point of disappearance Helena Yor
ick was moving, looking for me.
At first I could not see Sabre.
Then I saw him leaving the val
ley to climb Its opposite side. And
I saw his mistress standing above
in the sunlight, with one of her
hands to her throat.
As 1 snw her she waved, and
I answered. Then with one consent
we began to go down the valley
that lay between.
Helena was regarding me straltly.
“Is this your greeting. John?”
1 stood very still.
“Yes,” 1 said. “I'm sorry."
I pulled out the note she had
written and looked her full In the
eyes.
"I know.” she said. “I did It be
cause I love yon."
I tore the note to pieces and let
them fall.
“You’ve done that to my faith,"
I said.
“I see,” said Helena, slowly. “ ‘For
whosoever will save his life shall
lose it.’”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“I suppose so,” I snid. “I don’t
know. You’re so much more clever
than me. Hut something inside me's
broken. I can't pretend.”
“I know you can’t, but I can.
Every woman can. But I only pre
tended. John, to save your life."
“I know. I know,” I said. “And
I’m—much obliged. But I can't get
as far as your motive. If I hadn’t
been mad about you, you couldn't
have had me on."
Helena lifted her head.
"And so I’m damned,” she said.
“I shouldn't think so," I said
helplessly. "But It means we speak
different tongues. Oh. can’t you
see what I mean? I thought it was
I that induced the light in your
eyes, but now you’ve shown me that
you can switch it on.”
"Is It any good my saying I
can’t? That when it came it was
you that—brought It there?”
There was a little silence. At
last she lifted her head.
“I can still care,” she said slow
ly. "I have the power of being sor
ry—or glad. And I’m glad this has
happened—thankful, and that’s the
truth. It’s a jolt in a way, of
course; but although we don’t speak
the same tongue, I think you’ll get
what I mean. It’s very much better
that this should have happened now
than in six months’ time. And now
I’m going to speak plainly. Don’t
think I’m pleading my cause. That's
not my way. Nothing on earth
would induce me to marry you now.
You’re the one man on earth I can't
marry—get hold of that. But I want
to show you your trouble, because
—well, I owe you something and
perhaps one day it’ll save you from
making the same mistake.
“You’re an idealist, John. That’s
one of the reasons why you appealed
to me. I love idealists. I’m one
myself. But idealists must live—
and, what is still more important,
they’ve got to let live. An Idealist
must be human, must keep his feet
on the ground. If not, he becomes
a nuisance—he carries his joke too
far. You can’t see that Just now;
you can't translate what 1 say; but
I think you’ll be able to one day,
and then you’ll remember my words.
“You ‘can’t get as far as my mo
tive’—that's what you snid. What
you really mean is that you cannot
see my motive, because you are
looking too high; but my motive Is
natural and human and belongs to
the earth. It’s a pity you ‘can't
get ns far,’ for the motive counts.
“You see, if I had deceived you—
and, of course, I don’t deny that I
did, I laid myself out to deceive
you. I used every art that I knew
—well, if I had deceived you with
any shameful objt'ct . . . let’s say
to smooth my path to some other
man, then your estimate would be
true, for by using our understand
ing to let you down I should have
committed a sin which not even an
angel from heaven could ever for
give. But we both of us know that
what I did I did because I loved
you. And when you come down to
earth, as 1 think you will, you’ll see
that that makes a difference. And
something more you’ll see, when you
lower your eves. You’ll see what
it cost me to do it. I debased our
lovely coinage to save your life.
“Some people would call you a
fool, but I know better than that.
You see, I know you so well. You’re
so very simple and downright, and
Honesty is your god. That worship
and your unbridled Idealism are. as
it were, the lenses through which
you see. And so what I did looks
monstrous. . . . It’s because of that
that I’m neither angry nor hurt—
only thankful. If you had weighed
me and had dared to find me want
ing. . .
Something was stirring within
me. The challenge had stabbed
some emotion that was not dead.
“Finish the sentence,” I said.
“That’s Just whnt I’ve done.”
For a moment she regarded me
curiously.
Then—
"No, you haven’t,” she said.
“You think you have, but you
haven’t. If you could speak my
language, you’d understand what I
mean. But that’s by the way. As
I said Just now, I—am—thankful
that this has happened. ... To be
honest, I knew it might happen. I
saw its shadow while I was writing
that note. And I very nearly add
ed : ‘Don’t let him know I’ve done
this.’ And then I thought ‘No,’ be
cause that was a coward's way. I
wasn’t prepared to deceive you to
save myself.”
With a sudden air of pleasure
she looked about.
"And now where’s your cousin?”
she said. "I fancy the game’s near
ly over. But I’d like him to hear
my news and then we can settle thp
best way to go in and win.”
As once before, the three of us
sat on the turf, and Helena York-k
was speaking with my cousin’s eyes
on her face. But mine were upon
the ground.
"If I had to give my story a title,
I should call it ‘How Pharaoh was
hoist with his own petard.’ But that
would not be strictly correct, be
cause. as you’ll henr. It was the In
fallible Dewdrop that let him down.
"^s John has told you, I saw him
out of Yorick just about twenty
past three. Then I went straight
to bed, and after a little I managed
to get to sleep. At half-past six I
was awakened by the most awful
din. Sabre was barking like mad
and the tire-alarm of the castle was
going all out. Then I heard men
running and voices, and I’d hardly
got my dressing gown round me be
fore old Florin was speaking and
knocking upon my door.
“Well, you’ll never guess what
had happened. A watchman had
found blood on the terrace—a trail
of blood that led him up to John's
room.”
She paused there and turned to
me..
“I’d no idea that Dewdrop had
stabbed you so deep.”
I said nothing, and at once she
resumed her tale.
“The moment 1 heard the news
I saw the infinite value of holding
my tongue. I knew whose blood it
“The Position Might Be Far Better.*’
was and why it was there, but I
felt that, left to Itself, that blood
would cry out with an eloquence
which I could never approach. Dew
drop had stirred up a regular hor
nets’ nest; it seemed to me more
than likely that with a very lit
tle direction the hornets would
turn their attention to Pharaoh and
him.
"I told the warden to rouse you
and, if he could get no answer, to
break down the door. Very wisely
you’d left this unbarred—I shouldn’t
have thought of that. Of course,
your room was empty, hut I went in
myself and looked carefully around.
You see, I was sure that you must
have stanched the wound and 1
wanted to see If you’d left any
traces of this. But, again, you’d
been very careful. And so I was
free to give the hornets a tip.
“I turned to the warden.
“ ‘Where does this trail lead to?’
“Poor Florin stared.
“ ‘But it leads to this chamber,’ “
he said.
“ ‘Nonsense.’ said I. ‘It leads
from here. Some hurt has been
done Mr. Spencer and he has been
taken away.’
“The truth of the fiction was ob
vious. The hornets saw it at once.
Four or five servants rushed oft
to study the end of the trail.
“ ‘Who was aware,’ I demanded,
•that Mr. Spencer was to be lodged
In this room?’
"Florin ticked off the suspects.
‘“Your ladyship, myself, the
valet, Itachei, both the night-watch
men. . . .’
“He hesitated there, so I dug In
the spurs.
“ ‘Is that absolutely all?’
“‘Captain Faning knew,' said
Florin.
“I gave a most lifelike start.
“‘Captain Faning!’ I cried. ‘So
he did. And his servant, too.’
“It was Florin’s turn to start.
“‘And his servant?' he cried.
-‘Yes, yes, I cried. ‘Both of them
knew. His servant was there last
night I didn’t know It when I
was speaking to you. But he was
behind the curtain. I don’t know
why.’
"Then I called upon Florin t«
find you—I gave all sorts of wtlfl
reasons why you must be found.
And then I fainted, and good, hon
est Florin caught me aud carried
me down to my room.
"So you see I’m quite a good
actress.
“Well, the hunt was up all right.
Talk about sensation. ... I could
smell the lust for vengeance. The
hornets were fairly off. Then 1
heard the Incredible news.
'“Captain Failing’ and his serv
ant were gone.
"The position might he far bet
ter, for Pharaoh’s at large. Still,
It’s very much better than It was.
He's not only out of Yorick with
out any loss of life, but his flight
has proclaimed him guilty of shed
ding blood.
“Well, the rest was very easy. 1
sent for old Florin and told him
most of the truth. I told him that
’Fanlng’ was Pharaoh and that Pha
raoh was alter the gold; that Pha
raoh had killed young Florin and
that since you. John, could prove
this, he was going to tnke your
life; that he’d only spared you till
now—well, to serve his own ends;
that, though that blood was your
blood, for the moment I knew you
were safe; hut 1 said that your
death was appointed and that. Pha
raoh being Pharaoh, nothing on
earth could save you—except his
death.”
She turned to Geoffrey.
"1 don’t have to ask if you agree
with me there.’’
My cousin shrugged his shoulders.
“There’s not much more to be told,"
Helena continued. "I said nothing
of Valentine, of course. His return
now might not he fatal, hut he’s very
much better away. At a quarter
to eight I left the castle a fortress
and drove to Annabel."
"Unarmed and unaccompanied?”
said Geoffrey.
Helena shrugged her shoulders.
“The risk was slight, and how
could I take a servant to where I’d
left Valentine? Yet It was vital
that you should know at once that
Pharaoh was out. To my dismay,
you were gone, but as your room
door was locked, I guessed you’d
left Valentine there and so would
come back. Well, we held a con
sultation. His orders were at once
to remove the Count, and, much as
I wanted to see you, I felt that
for every reason those orders must
take first place. You see, though
Barley knew where he’d left you,
neither he nor I had a map. I’ve
been looking for you for six hours,
I sat down and cried once. Sabre’ll
hear me out."
"Great heart,” said Geoffrey quick
ly, and touched her hand.
Helena smiled.
“The glory to Sabre,” she said.
"And for all the good I’ve done,
I might have given Barley the mes
sage— he’ll be here In half an
hour. I was able to help him,
though. I diverted the household’s
attention while he got my wretched
brother Into the car. As for his
ultimate disposal—well, when I look
at you, I feel humble. I acknowl
edge a master brain. ‘The Gordian
knot of It he will unloose. Fa
miliar as his garter.’”
"Poor chance,” said Geoffrey,
lightly. "I’d painted the river just
there, and the monks were very
kindly and obviously simply stamp
ing to use their skill. You know.
Any friend of mine—"
This told me the truth of the mat
ter. I knew where Valentine was.
And that was some 60 miles off—
in a private ward. This stood re
mote, Its windows commanding the
cloister of the convent to which It
belonged. The only patients admit
ted were those alleged to have been
bitten by dogs that were mad. The
treatment lasted a fortnight.
“Well, there you are,’’ said Hel
ena. “There are the facts. And
now, If you please, Mr. Bohun, what
do we do?’’
“We take you hack to Yorlck. I
shan’t know a moment’s peace till
you’re where you belong.”
“And then you're wrong,” said
Helena. “I’m going to see the fun.”
• ••*•••
In the discussion which followed
I took no part and indeed I scarce
ly listened to what was said, for
my thoughts would not leave the
scent In the fragrant valley and at
last, since I did not care, I tired
of haling them back and let them
be.
Presently I got up and made for
the road, while ray cousin followed
behind.
As I reached the stretch of
macadam—
“There’s nothing for It,” said
Heoffrey. "We shall all have to
I sleep at Yorlck, because of this wil
ful girl. Perhaps she’ll see reason
tomorrow. How the devil can she
lie out all night? She’s all in now.”
"She can’t, of course,” said I.
“But what’s that to do with us?”
“Only this," said my cousin. “That
she won’t sleep Ht Yorlck unless we
do. Her very words.”
We strode down the road in si
lence, from time to time turning
about.

Talks About ®
Opinion* on Dinitrophenol
DURING the war many
cases of dinitrophenol poi
soning occurred among French
munition workers. The poison
ing which was often severe and
sometimes fatal was of such com
mon occurrence that a special inves
tigation was undertaken by three
French research workers.
The workers found that dinitro
phenol Increased the amount of oxy
gen needed by the Individual to
ten times the usual amount, that
heat was Increased Inside the body
so that sugar was taken In great
quantities from the liver and mus
cles. In mi Mrs. W. C. Cutting,
II. O. Mehrtens, and M. L. Talnter
stated In the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association thnt they
had found that in addition to the
burning of sugnr from the liver and
muscles, fat In the body wns burned
also.
As the drug thus burned up sur
Or. Barton
plus [issue a cum
ber of experi
ments were miule
In reducing weight
by the use of dl
nltrophenol. The
dose was given nc
cording to the
weight of the Indi
vidual, and the rate
at which the body
processes work was
Increased from 20
to 30 per cent the
first hour. After 24
nours the rate at which ttie body
processes work began to decrease
again and was down to the nor
mal rate by the third day. No 111
effects were found In the eight pn
tlents even after giving dlnltrophe
nol for two months.
Results of Experiments.
The drug was then given to nine
other patients for prolonged pe
riods, all of whom lost weight with
out cutting down ou the amount of
food usually eaten. In these nine
cases no ill effects were noted.
These research physicians thus
concluded that dlnltrophenol would
be useful in the treatment of obe
sity or overweight.
However, because of the possible
dangers of the use of the drug In
patients, they suggested that the
drug be used only under controlled
conditions. Warning was also Is
sued by the Council of Pharmacy
and Chemistry of the American
Medical Association, and by ed
itorials In the Journal of the Ameri
can Medical Association against
the uncontrolled (not under medi
cal supervision) use of the drug.
Despite these warnings dlnltro
phenol has been used extensively
In the treatment of overweight anil
not always with the necessary pre
cautions. It is estimated that 4,(MX)
patients In California alone were
treated in one year and that prob
ably 1(X),(K)0 persons have used the
drug in North Americn.
Big Demand for Drug.
Naturally there has been a big de
mand for a drug that will reduce
weight without cutting down on
the food Intake and with no need
for exercise.
However, the other side of the
picture shows that many individ
uals are “sensitive" to the drug
and are ufTllcted with skin erup
tions more or less severe. And un
fortunately there does not seem to
be any means of knowing before
hand if the drug will cause trou
ble because skin tests are of no
use. Other disturbances due to the
drug were Itching, swelling of the
lining of mouth, nose and throut,
loss of smell and taste.
“Up to the present time six deaths
from dlnltrophenol have been re
ported. In two of these cases espe
cially large doses were taken, but
in two others the amounts used
were not larger than those recom
mended by Doctor Talnter and his
co-workers.”
When Death Occurred.
“In most of the cases death oc
curred within 24 hours of the onset
of the symptoms of poisoning which
are dizziness, breathlessness, fu
tlgue, fever, and perspiration."
It Is therefore strongly advised
by research workers thnt the use
of {he drug be limited to carefully
selected cuses. Patients with dln
betes. Inflammation of the kidneys,
and diseases of the liver and heart,
should not be given the drug.
In Germany an official warning
regarding the danger of dlnltrophe
nol has been issued.
