Oh, dear, Pm so sorry he has to walk

But in spite of the rain she ;could not

' told her that Count Marlanx _was on ,
the bt4cony and at her window, not-
withstanding the rainpour. The fear
became oppressive, maddening: She
felt the man's presence almost as
strongly as if ha were in plain_ view.
He was there; she knew It. -

so valiantly at the inn of the Hawk

and again, only to come back to wake.
fulness with a start. .
Tino next morning she confessed to
herself that her fears had been silly.-
Iler first act after breakfasting alone
in. her room was .to seek out Colonel
• (}11111110X, commahder of the caitle
guard. In her mind she was greatly
troubled over the fate of the bold -
visitor of the night before. There was
a warm, red glow in ber face and a
quick beat in her -heart as she crossed
the parade groun , Vagabond though
he was he had conquered where. princes
had failed, Her betted judgment told
her that she could be nothing to this
debonair knight of the road, yet her
heart stubbornly resisted all the argu-
ments that her reason put forth.
Colonel Quinnox was pleasant, but
be could give Beverly no promise of
leniency in regard to Baidos. Instruc-
tions had. come to. him from General
Marlanx, and he could not set them
aside at will. Her plea that he might
once more be assigned to old time
duties found the colonel regretfully ob-
durate. Baidos could not ride with her
again until Marlanx withdrew the or-
der which now obtained. BeverlySwal-
lowed her pride and resentment diplo-
matically, s(Cilled her sweetest upon
the distresseetirlonel and mitirched de
-
flan* back. to the castle. Down in her
rebellious. insulted heart she was con-
cocting all sorts of plans for revenge.
Chief among them was the terrible
overthrow of tife Iron Count. Her wide
scope of vengeance even contemplated
the destruction of Graustark if her end
mule be obtained in no other way.
' Full of these bittersweet thoughts,
she came -to the castle doors before she
saw who was waiting for her upon the
great veranda. As she mounted the
steps, a ' preoccupied frown upon her
fair brond-General Marlene, lean, craf-
ty and confident, advanced to greet her.
The early hour was responsible for the
bright solitude which marked the place.
. But few signs of life were in evidence
'about the castle. i
She stepped with a sharp exclama-
tion of surprise. Then scorn and indig-
nation rushed in to fill the place of as-
tonishment. She .faced the smiling old
ettaghttith anger in her eyes. i
"Good morning," he said, extending
his hand, which she did not �e. She
was wondering how much he lied seen
and heard at midnight. •
"I thought the troops were massing
this morning," she said coldly. "Don't
you mass too?"
"There is thee enough for that, ray
dear. I canie to have a talk with you—
in private," he said meaningly.
"It is sufficiently private here, Count
Marlanx. 'What have you to say to

"An involuntary observer, believe me

What I saw last night shocked me be-

"Weil, you shonking have looked,"
she retorted, tossing her chin, and the
red feather in her hat bobbed angrily.
"I am surprised that one as clever
as you are could have carried, on an
amour ao incautiously," he said blendly.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I> saw everything that
occurred."
"Well, Pin not ashamed of it," obsti-
nately. "Goodly, Count Martaug,."
"One moment, please. I cannot let
you off so easily. What right lied you
to take that man into your 'room,a
place sacred in the palace of : Grau-
stark? Answer me, Miss Calhoun!'
Beverly drew back in horror an.d be-
wilderment.
"Into my room?" she gasped. t

"Stop! How dare you say such a
thing to me?" she fiercely cried. "You
miserable coward! You know he was
not in my room. Take it back—take
back every word of that lie!" She
was white with passion, cold with ter-
ror.
"Bah! This is childish. ams not

change for your beauty. It's worth 1
to yOu. One word from me, you are
disgraced and Baidos dies. Come, my
fair lady, give me your promise. It's
a good bargain for both."
Beverly was trembling like a leaf.
This phase of his villainy had not oc-
curred to her. She was like a bird try-
ing to avoid the charmed ,eye of the
serpent.
"Oh, you—you miserable wretch!"
she cried, hoarse with anger and de-
spair. "What a cur you are! You
know you are not speaking the truth.
How can you say such things to Me?
I have never wronged you"— She was
almost in tears, impotent with shame
and fear.
"It has been a pretty game of love
for you and the excellent Baidos. You
have deceived those who love you best,
and trust you most. What will the
princess say when she hears of last
night's merry escapade? What will
she say when she learns who was host -
mss to a common guardsman at the
midnight hour? It Is no wonder that
you look terrified. It is for you to
say whether she Is to know or not,
You can bind me to silence. You have
lost Baidos. Take me and all that I
can give you in his stead, and the
world never shall know the truth. You
love him, I know, and there is but one
way to save him. Say the word and
he goes free to the hills; detline and
LIS life is not worth a breath of air."
."And pretending to believe this of
me you still ask me to be your wife.
What kind of a man are you?" she de -
mended,. scarcely able to speak.
"My wife?" he said harshly. "Oh,
no. You are not the wife of Baidos,"
he added. significantly.
"Heavens!" gasped Beverly, crush-
-
by the brutality of it all. "I 'would
-sooner die. Would to heaven rely fa-

as he :would a dog! Ole how I loathe

She was racing up the steps, flaming
with anger and shame.
"Remember, I can prim what I have
said. Beware what you do. I love you
so much that I now ask you to become
my wife. Think well over it.- your
honor and hie life! It rests with you,"
he cried eagerly, following her to the
doer. •
"You disgusting old fool" she hissed,
turning upon him as she pulled the
big brass knocker on the door.
1"1 must have my answer tonight or
you knew what will happen," he snarl-
ed, but he felt in his heart that he bad
lost through his eagerneSs.
She flew to Yetive's boudoir, consum-
ed by rage and mortification. Between
sobs and feminine maledictions she
- poured the whole story,iin all its uglis
ness, into the ears -of the princess.
"Now, Yetive, you have to stand by
me in this," announced the narrator
conclusively, her eyes beaming hope-
fully through her tears.
"1 cannot prevent General Marlanx
from preferring serious charges against
Baldos, dear. I know he was not in
your room last night. You did not
have to tell me that, because I saw
you .both at the balcony rail." Bever-
ly's face took on such a radiant look of
rejoicing that Yetive waseanaply paid
for the surprising and gratifying ac-
knowledgraent of a second period of
eavesdropping. "You may depend up-
on me to protect you from Marlanx.
He canemake it yery unpleasant for
Baidos, but he shall pay dearly for this
insult to you. He has put) too far."
"I don't taint: tie has any proor
• against Baidos," said Beverly, think-
ing only of the guatdsman.
"But it is so easy to inauufacture ev-
idence, my dear. The Iron Count has
set his heart upou having you, and lie
is not the man to be turned aside eas-
ily."

me, but you eannot ask me to neglect
mighty, dear. Let us see how rational
can be," said the princess gently,
wherenpon the hot headed girl from
Dixie suspended hostilities and became
a very demure young woman. Before
long she was confessing timidly, then
boldly, that she loved Baidos better
than anything In all the world.
"I can't help it, Yetive. I know I
oughtn't to, but what is there to do
when One mug help it? There would
be an awful row at home if I married
him. Of cou SO be hasn't asked me.
Maybe he won't. In fact, I'm sure he
won't. I shan't give him a chance.
But if he does ask me Pll just keep
puttitig laim off. I've done it before,
you know. - You see, for a long, long
time I fancied he might be a prince,
but he isn't at all. I've had his word
for it. He's just an ordinary person,
like —like well, like I am, only he
doesn't look so ordinary. Isn't he hand-
some, Yetive? And, dear me, he is sO
impulsive! If he had ashed me to
jump over the balcony rail with hint
last night I believe I w-ould hare done
It. Wouldn't that have surprised old
Martina?" Beverly gave a merry
laugh. The troubles of the morning
seemed to -fade away under the warmth
of her humor, Yetive sat back and
marveled at the manner in which this
blithe young A.merican east out the
"bite devils." -
"You must not do anything foolish,
Beverly," she cautioned, "Your par-
ents would never forgive me if I
lowed you to marry or even to fall in
love with any Tom, Dick or Harry
over here. Baidos may be the gallant,
honest gentleman we believe him to
be, but he also may be the worst of ad-
venturers. One can never tell, dear.
wish now that I had not humored
you in your plan to bring him to the
-
castle. l'em afraid I have done wrong.
You have seen too much of him, and—
eh, well, you will be sensible, won't
you, dearr' There was real concern in
the face of the princess. Beverly kissed
her rapturously.
"Don't worry about me, Yetive. I
know how to take care of myself. Wor-
ry about your old Gabriel, if you like,
but don't bother your bead about me,"
she cried airily. "Now let's talk about
the war. Marlanx won't do anything
until he hears from me. What's the
Use worrying?"
Nightfall brought General Marlanx in
from the camps outside the gates. He

came direct to the castle and boldly
sent word to Beverly that he must
speak to her at once. She promptly an-
swered that she did not want to see
him and weuld not. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation he appealed for audi-
ence with the princess, and it was
granted. '
He preeeeded, with irate coolness, tot
ask how far she believed herself bound
, to protect the person of t aldos, the
guard. He understood that sf was un-
der certain obligations to 511ss Cal-
houn, and he wanted to be perfectly
sure of his position before taking a
step _ which now seemed imperative.
Baidos was a spy in the employ of
Dawsbergen. He had sufficient proof
to warrant his, arrest and execution;
there were documents and there was
positive knowledge that he had con-
ferred with strangers from time to
time, even within the walls of the cas-
tle grounds. Mariana cited instances
in which Baidos had been seen talking
to a strange old man inside the grounds,
and professed to have proof that he
had gone so far as to steal away by
night to meet men beyond the city
walls, He was now ready to seize the
guard, but would not do so until he
had conferred with his sovereign.
"Miss Calhoun tells me that you have
made certain proposals to her, Count
Marlanx," said Yetive coldly, her eyes
upon his hawkish face.
"I have asked her to be my wife,
your highness." ,
"You have threatened her, Count
Marlanx."
"She has expoSed herself to you? I
would not have told what I saw last
night."
"Would it interest- you to know thet
I saw everything that passed on the
balcony last night? You will allow
me to say, general, that you have be-
'
hayed in a most outrageous manner in
approaching my guest with such fool
proposalsa. Step, sir! She has told me
everything, and I believe her. I be-
lieve my oWn eyes. There is no tined
to discuss the matter further. . You
have lost the right to be called a man.
For the present I have only to say that
you shall be relieved of the connnand
of my army. The man who makes
war on women is not fit to serve one.
As for Baldos, you are at liberty to
prefer the charges. He shall have a
fair trial, rest assured."
"Your highness, hear me," implored
IMarlanx, white to the roots of his hair.
"I will hear what you have to say
when my hnaband le et my side."' e __
But her nand was pointing to the door.
Ten minutes later Beverly was hear- I
ng everything from the lips of the
princess, and Math= was cursing his 4
way toward the barracks, vengeariee
In his heart, But a swift messenger
from the castle reached the guardroom
ahead of him. Colonel Quinnox WRO
reading an official note from the prin-
cess when afarlanx strode angrily into
tge room.
"Bring this renew Baidos to me,
Colonel Quinnox," he said, without
greeting.
"I regret to say that I have but this
insinnt received a inessage from her
highness commanding me to send him
to the castle," said QuInnox, with a,
smile.
"The devil! What foolishness
this?" snarled the Iron Count.
"Have a care, sir," said Quinnox stiff-
ly. "It Is of the princess you speak!'
"Bahl I am here to order the man's
arrest. It is more important than".
"Nevertheless, sir, he goes to the me,
tie first. This note says 1 am to Ow
regard any command you may give
until further notice."
Marlanx fell back amazed and stun-
ned. At this juncture Baidos entered
the room. Quinnox handed him an en-
velope, telling him that A was from
the princess and that he was to repair
at once to the castle. Baidos glanced
at the handwriting, and his face lit up
proudly.
"I am ready to go, sir," he said, page.

CHA.PTER XXIII.
A.LDOS started off at once for
the castle, his heart singing.
In the darkness of the night
he kissed the message which
had come to him from "her highness."
The envelope had been closed with the
official seal of Yet.i+e, princess of
Graustark, and was sacred to the eyes
of any one save the maii to whom ,it
was directed.. The words it contsdned
were burned deep In his brain:"
You are ordered to report for duty in
the castle. Come at once. Her highness
has sent an °metal command lb Colonel
Quinnox. Count Marlanx bay been here.
Ton are not expected to desert until you
have seen me. There is an underground
passage somewhere. 13.
Beldam went alone and swiftly. The
note to Colonel Quinnox had been im-
. perative. He was to serve as an inner
guard until further orders. Some one,
It was reported, had tried to enter Miss
Calhoun's room from the outside dur-
ing the rainstorm of the previous night,
and a special guard was to be station-
ed near the door. All of this was un-
known to Balclos, but he did not ask
Lor any explanations,
He was balfway to the castle when
the sharp ireport of a gun startled
him. A bullet whizzed close to his earl
Baidos broke into a crouching rim, but
did not change his course. He knew
that the shot was intended for him and
that its niission was to prevent him
from rettehing the castle. The attend-
ants at the castle door admitted him,
panting and excited, and he was taken
immediately to the enchanted boudoir
of the princess, which but few men
were fortunate enough to enter. There
were three women iu the room.
"I am here to report, your highness,"
said he, bowing low before the real
princess, with a srulle upon his flushed
face.
"You are prompt," said the prin-
cess, "What have you to report, sir?"
"What an attempt has just been
made to kill a member of the castle
guard," he coolly answered.
"Impossible!"
"I am quite certain of it, your high-
ness. Thel *bullet almost clipped my
ear."
"Good heavens!" gasped the listen-
ers. Then they eagerly plied him with
more agitated questions than he could
answer.
"And did you not pursue the
wretch?" cried the princess.
"No, your highness. I was command-
ed to report to you at once. Only the
success of the assassin could have
nia.de me—well, hesitate," said he
calmly. "A soldier has but to obey."
"Do you think there was a deliber-
ate attempt to kill you?" asked the
Countess Dagmar. Beverly Calhoun
was dumb with consternation.
"1 cannot say, madame. Possibly it
was an accidental discharge. One
should not make accusations unsup-
ported. If you have no immediate
need of my services, your highness, 1
will ask you to grant me leave of ab-
sence for half an hour. I have a pe -
miller longing to investigate." There
was a determined gleam in his eyes.
"No, no!" cried Beverly. "Don't you
dare to go out there again. You are
to Stay right here in the castle, hir.
We have something else for you to do.
It was that awful old Marlanx who
shot at you. He"—
"I left General Marlene in Colonel
Quinnox's quarters, Miss Calhoun," im
terposed Baidos grimly. "He could
not have fired the shot. For two or
three nights, yonr highness, I have
been followed and dogged with humili-
ating persistenee by two men wearing
the uniforms of castle guards. • They
do not sleep at the barracks. May I
ask what I have done to be submitted
to such treatment?" There was a
trace of poorly concealed indignation
itt his voice. •
"I assure you that this is news to
me," said.Yetive in amazement.
"I am being watched as if I were a
common thief," he molt on boldly.
"These men are not your agents; they
are not the agents of Graustark. May
I be permitted to say that they are
spies set upon me by a man who has
an object hi disgracing me? Who that
man is i leave to your royal coWee-

Every mother poesenes information
which is of vital interest to her young

withheld until serious harm has resulted

of nature's mysterious and wonderful
laws and penalties.

their confidence from their mothers and
