CHASE PERFORMS A MIRACLE Hollingsworth Chase now felt that he was on neutral ground with the Princess Genevra.

He could hardly credit his senses.

When he left Rapp-Thorberg in disgrace some months before, his susceptibilities were in a most thoroughly chastened condition; a cat might look at a king, but he had forsworn peeping into the secret affairs of princesses.
His strange connection with the Skaggs will case is easily explained.
After leaving Thorberg he went directly to Paris; thence, after ten days, to London, where he hoped to get on as a staff correspondent for one of the big dailies.

One day at the Savage Club, he listened to a recital of the amazing conditions which attended the execution of Skaggs's will.

He had shot wild game in South Africa with Sir John Brodney, chief counsellor for the islanders, and, as luck would have it, was to lunch with him on the following day at the Savoy.
His soul hungered for excitement, novelty.
