HORODIGHLY mystified by the action of the driver and at length terrified by the pace that carried them careening along the narrow road,- Beverly cried out to I him, her voice shrill with Werra. Aunt ; Fanny was crouching. on the floor of the coach between the seats, groaning and praying. "Stop! 'Where are you going?" cried Beverly, putting her head recklessly through the window. If the man heard her hp gave no ceidence of the fact His face was set forward, and he was guiding the horses. with a firm, un-, quivering hand. The coach rattled and bounded along the dangerous way hewn in the side of the mountain. A misstep or a false turn might easily start the clumsy vehicle rolling down the declivity on the right. The convict was ' taking desperate chances and, with a cool, calculating brain, prepared to leap to the ground in case of acci- dent and save himself, without a thought for the victims inside. "Stopi alum around!" she cried in a frenzy, "We shall be killed. Are you crazy?" By this tinae they had struck a de- scent in the road and were testing along at breakneck speed into oppress - 1e shadows that bore the first im- prints of night. Realizing at last that her cries vere failing upon purposely deaf ears, Beverly Calhoun sank back Into the seat, .weak and terror stricken. It was plain te her that the horses were not running away, for the .man had been lashing them furiously. There was but one conclusion—he was delib- erately taking her farther into the raountain fastnesses, his reirpose known only to himself. A. hundred ter- rors presented themselves to her as she lay huddled against the side of the • coach, her eyes closed1 tightly, her ten- der body tossed furiously about with the sway of the vehicle. There -Was the fundamental fear that she would be dashed to death down the side of the mountain, but apart from We her quick brain was evolving 0.11 sorts of possible endings—none short of abso- lute disaster. Even as she prayed that something might intervene to check tbe mad rush and to deliver her froin the horrors of the moment the raucous voice of the driver was heard calling to his horses; and the pace became slower. The aw- ful rocking and the jolting grew less severe, the clatter resolved itself into a 'broken rumble, and then the coach etoPpe.d with a mighty lurch. Dragging herselk• from the corner, poor Beverly Caljdoun, no longer a dis- dainful heroine, gazed piteously out into the shadows, expecting the mur- derous blade of the driver to meet her as she did so. ,Pauloff had swung trom the box of the coach and was peering first into the woodland below and then upon the rocks to thettjaa. He wore the expression of a ratt(trapped and seek- ing means of escape. Suddenly he dart- ed bebin.d the coach, almost brusbing against Beverly's hat as he passed the window. She opened her lips to call him, but even as !she did so he took , to his heels and raced back over the road they toad traveled so precipitously. Overcome by •serprise and dismay, she only could watch the fliglit in si- lence.: Less than a hundred feet from where the coach was standing he turn- ed to the right and -was lost among the rocks. Ahead, four horses, covered: withosweat were panting and heaving as If in great distress after their nutd • run. Aunt Fanny was, still moaning and praying by turns in the bottom of the carriage. - DarknesS was settlhag down upon the pass, and'objects a bun- • dred yards away were swallowed by the gloom. • There was no sound save the blavving, of he tired animals and the moaning of the Old negress, Beve?-- iy realized with, a sinking heart that they- were alone and helpless in the mountains, with night upon them: She never knew where the strength ' and courage came frond, but she forced open the stubborn coach door and scrambled to the ground, looking fran- tically in all directions for a single sign of hope. In the imost despairing terror she had 'ever experienced she started toward the lead horses, hoping' against hope that at least one of her men had remained. faithful. A man stepped quietly from the inner side of the Toad and advanced with the uncertain tread of one who is overcome by amazement. He was a stranger and wore an odd, uncouth"gaeb. The failing light told her that he was ndt one a her late protectors. She shrank back with a faint cry of alarra, ready to fly to the protecting arms of hopeless Aunt Fanny if her uncertain legs could carry her. At the same instant another ragged stranger, then two, three, four or five, appeared as if by magic, Some near her, others approaching froth the shadows. "Who—who in heaven's' name are you?" she faltered. The sound pf her own, voice in a measure restored the courage that had been paralyzed..Un- consciously dile slim sprig of southern valor threw back her !shoulders and. lifted her chin.' If they were brigands they should not find her a cringing coward. After all, she was a Calhoun. The man she had first observed. stop- ped near the horses' heads and peered intently at her from beneath a broad:. and rakish hat He was tall and ap- peared to be more respectably clad than his fellows, although there, was' J.

I "Poor wayfarers, may it please your higiniess,"—replied the tall vagabond., bowing low. To her surprise, he spoke In very good English. His voice was clear, and there was a tinge of polite ! irony in the tones. "But all people are 1, alike in the mountains. The king and the thief, the princess and the jade live in the common fold." And hiS hat swung so low that it touched the ground. "I am powerless. I only implore you to take what valuables you may find and let us proceed unharmed!" she cried rapidly, eager to have it over. "Pray, how can your highness , pro- ceed? You have no guide, no driver, no escort," said the man mockingly., Beverly' looked at him appealingly, ut- terly without words t� reply. The tears were welling to her eyes, and her heart was throbbing like that of a cap- tured bled. In after life she was able to picture In Ler mind's eye all the details of that tableau in the moun- tain pass—the hopeless coach, the steaming horses, the rakish bandit and his picturesaue men, the towerink crags and a mite of a girl facing the end of everything. "Your highness is said to be brave, but even your wonderful courage can "Oh, vow toou't kill us?" avail nothing in thie instance," said the leader pleasantly. "Your escort has fled as though pursued by some- thing stronger than shadows; Your driver has deserted; your -horses are half dead; you are indeed, as you have said, po-werlesti, And you are, besides all these, in the clutches of a band of merciless cutthroats." "Oh," moaned Beverly,: suddenly leaning ,against the fore wheel, her eyes almost starting from her head. The leader laughed quietly—yes, good naturedly. "Oh, you won't—you won't kill us?" She had time to observe that there were smiles on the faces of all the men within the circle of light "Rest assured, your highness," said the leader,' leaning upon his rifle bar- rel With careless grace, "we intend no harm to you. Every man you meet in Graustark is not a brigand, I trust, for your sake. We are simple hunters, and not what we may seem. It is fortunate that you have fallen into honest hands. There is some one in .the coach?" he asked, quickly alert. A prolonged groan proved to Beverly that Aunt Fanny had screwed up sufficient courage to look mit a the wind°. "My old servant," she half 'whis- pered. Thea, as several of the men started toward the door: "But she is old and wouldn't harm a fly. 'Please, 'please don't hurt her." - - "Compose yourself; she fs safe," said the leader. By this time it was quite dark: At a word from him two or three men lighted lanterns. The picture was -more weird than ever in the fitful glow. "MO I ask, your high- ness, how do yeti intend to reach Edel- weiss in your preseatt condition? You cannot manage those horses and, be- sides, you do not know -the way." "Aren't you going to rob us?" dez mended Beverly, hope springing to the sildface with a joyful bound. The stranger laughed theartily and shook his head. "Do we not look like honeSt men?" he cried, with a wave of his hand to- ward his companions. Beverly looked dubious. "We live the good, clean life of the wilderness. Outdoor life is nec- essary for our health. We could not live in the city," he went on, with grim htemor. For the first time Beverly no- dded that he wore a huge black patch over his left eye, held in place by a cord. He appeared more formidable than ever under the light of critical in- spection. , "I am very much relieved," said Bev- erly, who was not at all relieved. "But why have you stopped us in this man- ner?' "Stopped you?" cried the man with the patch. implore you to unsay thgtt your highness.

You do us a grave in- justice." "It's very strange," muttered Bever- ly, somewhat taken aback. "Have you observed that it is quite dark?" asked the leader, putting away his brief shaw of indignation: "Dear me; so it is!" cried she, now able to think more clearly. "And you are mites from an inn or house of any kind," he went on. "Do you expect to stay here all night?" "I'm—I'm not afraid," bravely shlv- ered Beverly. "It is most dangerous." "I have a revolver," the weak little voice went on. "Oho! What is it for?" "Tomse in case of emergency." "Such as repelling brigands who sud- denly appear upon. the scene?" . eyes!, "May I ask why you did not use it this evening?" "Because it iseocked up in one of my bags --I don't know just which on— and Aunt Fanny hes the key," confeSe- ed Beverly. The chief of the "honest men" laugh- ed again, a clear, ringing laugh that be- spoke supreme confidence in his right to enjoy himself. "And who is Aunt Fanny?" he asked, covering his pate ic-arefully with his slouching bat. eet "My servant She's colored." "Colored?" he asked in amazement. "What do yob mean?" "Why, she's a negress. Don't you know what a colored person is?" ' "You mean she is a slave—a black slave?" "We don't own slaves any mo'— more." He looked more puzzled than ever—then at last, to satisfy himself, walked over and peered Into the coach. Aunt Fanny set up a dismal howl. An Instant later Sir Honesty was pushed aeride, and Miss Calhoun was anxiously trying to conafort her old friend through the window. The man looked. on in silent wonder for a minute and then stroole off to where it group of his men stood talking, "Is yo' daid yit, Miss Bey'ly—is de end came?" moaned Aunt Fanny. Bev- erly could not repress a smile. e "I am quite alive, auntie. These men will not hurt us. They are very nice gentlemen." She 'tittered the lest ob- servation in a loud voice, and it had Its effect, for the leader came to her side with icing strides. "Convince your servant that we mean no harm, your highness," he said eager- ly, a new deference in his voice iind manner, l'We have only the best of motives in mind. True, the hills are full of lawless fellows, and we are obliged to fight them 'ahnost daily, but you have fallen in with horest 'men— very nice gentlemen, I trust. Less than an hour ago we put a band of robbers to flight"— "I heard the shooting," cried Bever- ly. "It was that which put my escort to flight." ' A, "They could not have 'been soldiers of Graustark, then, your highness," quite gallantly. "They were Cossacks, or whatever ,you call them. But, pray, why do you call me 'your highness?" " demanded Beverly. The tall leader swept the ground with his hat once more. "All the outside world knows the Princess Yetive—why not the humble mountain. man? You will pardon me, but every man in the hills knows that , you are to pass through on the way from St. Petersburg to Ganlook. We are net do far from the world, after all, we rough people of the hills. We • know that your highness -left St. Pe- tersburg by rail last Sunday and took to the highway day before yesterday because the floods had washed- away the bridges north of Axphain. Even the hills have eyes and ears." Beverly listened with increasing per- , plexity. It was true that she had leW St. Petersburg on Sunday; that the un- precedented floods had stopped all rail- way traffic in the hills, compelling her to travel for many miles by stage, And that the whole country wai confusing her in some strange way with the Prin. cess Yetiee. The news had evidently sped through A.xphain and the hills • with the swiftness of fire. It would be useless to deny the story; these men would not believe her. Itt a flash she decided that it would be best to pose for the time being as the ruler of Graustark. It remained only for her to' impress upon Aunt 'Fanny the im- portance of this resolution. "What wise old hillsrthey must be," she said, with evasive enthusiasm. "You cannot expect me to admit, bows ever, that I am the princess," she went on. "It would not be just to your excel- lent repUtation for tact if you did so, your highness," calmly spoke the man. "It is quite as easy to say that you aree not be princess as to say that you are, so what matter, after all? We re- serve the right, however, to do hom- age to the queen who rules over these wise old hills. I °Sir you the humble aervices of asysolf And. Y._ commas- Ions. We are yours to command." "I an very grateful to find that you are not brigands, believe ma" said Beverly. 'Pray tell me who you are, then, and you shall be sufficiently re- warded for your good inteutions." "I? Oh, your highness, I am Baldos, tte goat hunter, *a poor subject for re - wird at your hands. I may as well ad- mit that I am a poacher and have no legal right to the prosperity of your hills, The only reward I can ask is for- giveness for trespassing upon the prop- erty of others." "You shall receive pardon for all transgressions, but you must get me to some place of safety," said Beverly ea- gerly, "And quickly, too, you might well have added," he said lightly. "The horses have rested, I think, so with your permission we may proceed. I know of a Place where you may spend the night comfortably and be refreshed for the rough journey tomorrow." "Tomorrow? How can I go on? am • alone!" she cried despairingly. "Permit me to remind you that you are no longer alone. You have a rag- ged following, your highness, but it shall be e. loyal one. Will you re-enter the coach? It is not far to the place I speak of, and I myself will drive you there. Come, it is getting iate, and your retinue, at least, is hunerty." He flung open the coach door, and his hat swept the ground once more. The light of a lantern played fitfully upon his dark, gaunt face, with its gallant smile and ominous patch. She hesitat- ed, fear entering her soul once more. He looked up quickly and saw the inde- cision in her eyes, the mute appeal. "Trust me, your highness," he said gravely, and she allowed him to band her into the coach. A moment later he was upon the driver's box, reins in hand. Calling out to his 'companions in a language strange to Beverly, he cracked the whip, and once more they were lum- bering over the wretched road. Bever- ly sank back into the seat with a deep sigh of resignation, "Well, I'm in for dt," she thought. "It doesn't matter whether they are thieves or angels, I reckon fli have to take whet comes. He doesn't look very much like an angel, but he looked at me just- now as if ,he thought I were one. Dear me, I wish I were back in Washin'ton!" CHAPTER V. WO of the men walked close be- side the door, one of them bear- ing a lantern. They conversed* in low tome and ln it language which Beverly could not Understand. After awhile she found herself analyz- ing the garb and manner of the men. She was saying to herself that here Were her first real specimens of stark peasantry, peaeantry, and they were ,to mark an ineffaceable spot in her Aim - erg. They were dark, strong faced men of medium ,height, with fierce black eyes and acing bletk hair. As no two were dressed alike, it was impossible to recognize characteristic styles of at- tire. Some were in the rude, baggy costumes of the peasant as she had, imagined him; others were dressed in the tight fitting but dilapidated uni- forms of the soldiery, 'While several were in clothes partly European and partly oriental. There were hats and fezzes and caps, some with feathers in the bands, others without. The man nearest the coach wore the dirty gray uniform of an army officer, full of holes and rents, while another strode along in a pair of baggy yellow trou- sers and a dusty London dinner jacket. All in all, it was the motliest band of vagabonds she had ever seen. There were at least ten or aidozen in the par- ty. While a few Carried swords an lugged the long rifles and crooked dage gers Of the Tartars. "Aunt Fanny," Beverly whispered, suddenly moving to the side of the sub- dued servant, "where is my revolver? It had come to her like a flash that a subsequent emergency should not find her unprepared. Aunt Fanny's Jaw dropped, and her eyes were like white rings in a black screen. "Good Lewd, wha — what fo', Miss Beidly"— '1"Shl Don't call me Miss Bey'ly. Now, just you pay 'tendon to me, and I'll tell you something queer. Get my revolver right away and don't let those men see what you are doing." While Aunt Fanny's trembling fingers went in search of the firearm, Beverly out- lined the situation briefly, but explicit- ly. The old woman was not slow to understand. Her wits sharpened by fear, she grasped Beverly's .instruc- dons with astonishing avidity. "Ve'y well, yo' highness," she said, with fine reverence, "Ah'll p'ocuah de bottle o' pepp'mint fo' yo' if yo' jes' don' mlue me puffin' an' haulird 'raongst dese boxes. Mebbe yo' all hiruther halo de gingehr With this wonderful subterfuge .as a shield she dug slyly into one of the bags and pulled forth a revolver. Under ordi- nary circumstances she would have been, mortally- afraid to touch it, but not - so in this emergency. Beverly shoved the weapon into the pocket of her gray traveling jacket. "I feel much better now, Aunt Fan- ny," she gait', .and Aunt Fanny gave a vast chuckle. - "Yeas, ma'am, indeed—yo' highness," she agreed, suavely. The coo.ch rolled along for half an hour and then stopped with a sudden. jolt, An instant later the tall driver appeared at the window, -his head un- covered. A man hard by held a .lan- tern.
