CHAPTER X The Princess 'Meridel of Gratzen and her cousins- arrive in Canada to visit Baron Rudi de Morpin, her uncle; He had ,been . employed by Madame. Fabre-Lusignan, who turn- ed the estate over to the Baron in order that he could entertain the Princess without her knowing of his reduced circuia3'stances. Roger Fabre of the Canadian Air Force and nephew of the Madame's 'falls in love with' the Princess. The estate is turned over to the case of un- fortunate children of war-torn Europe. Poi Martin and Rosine find a photograph on the Madame's table and learn that it is the man whom Roger has vowed to kill. They then learn that 'the man is Roger's brother. Roger still does not know the connection between his brother and the crime he is pledged to avenge. The children break the pic- ture frame and tell Madame the truth. She tries not to believe that Roger's own brother had killed Bonhmnme Fricot, but a doubt re- mains. The Princess learned that the Baron was not •the owner of the castle, to they all left for Coq d'or where he bought an interest in the Golden Cock. Roger returns to find the Princess gone and Madame's fortune in a bad way. He sets out with Madame to field the Princess and have her and the children re- turn. While they were together Michel and a companion, escaping from a prison camp, appear and take the keys to the car. It is only then that the Madame and Roger are convinced that Michel is one of the enemy. D. H.
