His cheeks were al- most livid, save for a single spot of burning color high up on his cheek bone. His fingers twitched nervously, his eyes were dry and restlessly bright. He was evidently in a state of great excitement. In less than two minutes the door open- ed, and a tall, distinguished looking man, grey -headed, but with a mous- tache 'still almost black, came soft- ly, into the room. His breast glit- tared with orders, and he was In full Court dress. He nodded kindly to the young mar, who greeted him with respect. "Is it anything important, Felix?" lie asked; " you are looking tired." " Yes, your Excellency, it is im- portant," Felix answered; "it con- cerns the man Sabin." The Ambassador nodded. " 'Well," he said, " what of him?" You have not been seeking to set- tle accounts with him, I trust, af- ter our conversation, and your pro. mise?" Felix shook his head. "No," he said. "1 gave my word, and I shall keep it ! Perhaps you may, soiree day, regret that you in- terfered between us." "I think not," the Prince replied. " Your services are valuable to me, my dear Felix ; and in this country, more than any other, deeds of vio- lence are treated with scant cere- mony, and affairs of honor are not understood. No, I saved you from yourself for myself. It was an ex- cellent thing for both of us." "I trust," Felix repeated, "that your Excellency may always think so. But to be brief. The report from Cartienne Is at hand." The Ambassador nodded and list- ened expectantly. " He confirms 1ul'y," Felix eont'n- ued, " the value of the documents which are in question. How ho ob- tained access to them he does not say, but his report is absolute. He considers that they justify fully the man Sabin's version of them." The Prince smiled. "My own judgment is verified," he said. "I believed in the man from the first. It is good. 13y the bye, have you seen anything of Mr. Sabin to -day ?" "I have come straight," Felix ,said, " from watching his house." " Yes?" "The Baron von Knigenstein ha.s been there alone, incognito, for more than au hour. I watched him go in, —acid watched him out." Tho Prince's genial smile vanished. R s face grew suddenly dark as thun- der. Tho Muscovite crept out, un- awares. There was a fierce light in his eyes, and his face was like the face of a wolf ; yet his voice when he spoke was low. •So ho 1" he said, softly. "Mr. Sabin is doing a little flirting, is he? Ah!" "I believe," the young man an- swered slowly, "that he has advanced still further than that. The Baron was there for n.n hour. He came out walk- ing like a young man. He was in a state of great excitement." The Prince sat clown and stroked the side of his Paco thoughtfully. "The great elephant 1" he muttered.

"I will be back," be said, "In half an hour," The Prince returned to 'his guests, and Felix drove off. When he returned his chief was waiting for him alone. "Mr. Sabin," Felix announced, "left town half an hour ago" "For abroad I" the Treace eaclalaned, with flashing eyes. "He has gone to Germany." Felix shook his head. "Oe the contrary," he said, "he las gone down into Norfolk to play golf" "Into Norfolk to play golf 1" the Prince repeated, in a tone of scornful wonder. "Did you believe, a story like that, Felix ? Rubbish t" Felix smiled slightly. "It is quite true," ho said, "Labanoft makes no mistakes, and he saw him come out of his house, take his ticket at IUng's Cross, and actually leave the station." "`Are you Imre that it Is not a band?". the Prince asked, incredulously. aIIAPTET XVIII, "He Has Gone to the Emperor!" Tho Ambassador, when he left Mr. Sabin's house, stepped into a hired hansom and drove off towards Ar- lington street. A young man who had watched him come out, from the other side of the way, walked swiftly to the corner of the street and stepped into a private brough- am which was waiting there. `"'!o the Embassy," he said. "Drive fast 1" The carriage set him down in a few minutes at the House to which Densham and Hareutt bad followed Mr. Sabin on the night of their first meeting with hint. He walked swiftly into the hall. " Is His Excellency within ?" he asked a tall servaut in plain dress W110 came forward to meet him. Yes," Monsieur Felix," the man answered ; " he is dining very late to-night—in fact, be has nut yet risen from the table." " Who is with him?" Felix asked. " it is a very small party, Madame la 1'rincesse has just arrived from Paris, and His Excellency has ''been waiting for her." He mentioned a few more names ; there was no one of importance. Felix walked into the hall -porter's office and scribbled a few words on half a sheet of paper, which he plac- ed in an envelope and carefully sealed. " Let His Excellency have this privately and at onee," he said to the man ; "I will go into the wait- ing -room." Tho man withdrew with the note, and Felix crossed the hall and enter- ed a small room nearly opposite. It was luxuriously furnished with easy are lash monopoly has been most ga to my nation.

"You have taught me how to look upon European politics with new eyes. But there remains one im- pgrtant question.

"If what you give fulfils your own statements," he said, "you cannot ask n price which my master would riot pay„ I" Mr. Sabin moved a little in his chair. His eyes were bright. A faint tinge of color was in his olive cheeks. "Four years of my life," he said. "have been given to the perfecting of one branch only of my design ; the other, which. is barely completed, is the work of the only man in .England Granted that sentiments of friendship exist between Russia and.France, do you not think that Russia would net sooner see France a. monarchy '? Do you think that she would stretch out her little finger to aid a. totter- ing republic and keep back a king from the throne of France? Mon Dieu! Never." Mr. Sabin's face was suddenly il- luminated. A fire flashed in his dark eyes, and` a note of fervent passion quivered lifelike in his vibrating voice. His manner had all the abandon of one pleading a great cause, nursed by a great heart. He was a patriot or a poet, surely, not only a poilti- clan or a mere intriguing adventur- er. For a moment he suffered his enthusiasm to escape him. Then the mask was ac, suddenly dropped. He was himself again, calm, convincing, impenetrable. As the echoes of his last interjection died away there was a silence between the two men. It was the Ambassador at last who broke it. Ile was looking curiously at his companion. "I must confess," he said, slowly, "that you have fascinated me 1 You have done more, you have roadie me see dreams and possibilities which, set down upon paper, I should have mocked at.

"And yet," the Ambassador said, with a curious lightening of his face, as though recollection had suddenly been vouchsafed to him, "I fancy that if I were to call yon—" Mr. cabin's protesting hand was stretched across the table.

He was breathless, for he had been scrambling up the steep side of the hill on which she was standing, looklug steadfastly out to sea. Dawn in the valley from which he had come a snail boy with a bag of golf clubs on bis back was standing, making im- aginary swings at the ball which lay before him. "I saw you from below," he ex- plained. "I couldn't help coming up. "You don't mind ?" "No; I am glad to see you," she said, simply. `'You startled me, that is all. I did not hear you coming, and I had forgotten almost where I was. I was thinking." Ile stood by her side, his cap still in his band, facing the strong sea wind. Again he was conscious of that sense of extreme pleasure which lead always marked his chance meetings with her. This time he felt perhaps that there was some definite reason for it. There was something in her expression, when she had turned so swiftly round, which seemed to tell hint that her first words were not altogether meaningless. She was looking a lit- tle pale, and he fancied also a little sad. There was au inexpressible wistfulness about her soft, dark eyes; the light and charming gaiety of her manner, so un -English and so attractive to hint. had givers place to quite another mood. Whatever her thoughts might have been when he had first seen her there, her tall, slim figure outlined so clearly against the abrupt sky line, they were at all events scarcely pleasant ones. He felt that his sudden ap- pearance had not been unwelcome to her, and be was unreasonably pleased. "You are still all alone," he re- marked. "Has Mr. Sabin not ar- rived?" She shook her head. "I am all alone, and I am fearfully and miserably dull. This place does not attract me at all; not at this time of the year. I have not heard from my uncle. He may be hero at any moment." There was no time like the pre. sent. He was suddenly bold. It was an opportunity which might never be vouchsafed to him again. " May I come with you—a little way along the cliffs ?" he asked. She looked at him and hesitated. More than ever he was aware of some subtle change in her. It was as though her mental attitude to- wards him had adapted itself in some way to this new seriousness of demeanor. It was written in her features—leis eyes read it eagerly. A certain aloofness, almost hauteur, about the lines of her mouth, creep- ing out even in her most careless tones, and plainly manifest in the . carriage of her head, was absent. She seemed immeasurably nearer to hien. She was softer and more wo- manly. Even her voice, in its new and more delicate notes, betrayed the change. Perhaps It was only a mood, yet ho would take advantage of it. " What about your golf ?" she said, motioning down into the valley where leis antag ont was waiting. " Oh, I can easily arrange that," he declared cheerfully. " Fortunate - le" I was playing the professional, and he will not mind leaving off," Ho waved to his caddie, and scrib- bled a few lines on the back of a card. ono be Continued., ARI] 'YOU GOING WI+:ST F MAN VICTIM � !F N tier Skin Gradually Turni n It is reported from New York that a case of Addison's disease Is in ,Belle- vue Hospital.
