Fee went out, and X went to the cel- Iar. I raised poor Josef in my arms and bore Itim fete the passage and thence toward the door of the house. Just inside I luld him down, remem- bering that I mutt find spades for one task. &t this instant Sapt came up. "The horses are ell right. There's the own brother to the one that brought you here. But you may save yourself that job," "P11 not go before he's buried." "Yes, you will." "Not I, Colonel Sapt, not for all Burl- tania." "You fool!" said he, "Come here," lee drew me to the door. The moon was sinking, but about 300 yards awan coming along the road from Zenda, I made out a party of men. There were seven or eight of them, Four were on horseback, and the rest were walking, and I saw that they carried long imple- ments, which X guessed to be spades and mattocks, on their shoulders. "They'll save you the trouble," said .Sept, "Come along." Ile was right. The approaching par- ty must beyond doubt be Duke Mi- .chael's men, come to remove the traces of their evil work. I hesitated no longer, but an irresistible desire seized me. Pointing to the corpse of poor little Josef, I said to Sept: "Colonel, we ought to strike a blow for pimp" cz "You'd like to give him some cam- . Pane, eh? But it's too risky work, your majesty." "I must have a slap at 'em," said I. Sept wavered, "Well," said he, "It's not business, ,you know; but you've been a good boy •—and if we come to grief, why, hang me, it'll save us a lot of thinking! I'll show you how to touch them," He cautiously closed the open chink •of the door. Then we retreatedthrough :the house and made our was to the back entrance. Here our horses were (standing. A carriage drive swept all around the lodge. "Revolver ready?" asked Sept. "No: steel for me," said I. "Gad, you're thirsty tonight," chuc- kled Sept. "So be it." We mounted, drawing our swords, and waited silently for a minute or two. Thele we heard. the tramp of men on the drive the other side of the house. They came to a stand and one .cried: "Now, then, fetch him out!" "Novel" whispered Sept; Drivieg the spurs into our horses, we rushed at a gallop round the house, and in a moment we were among the ruffians. Sept told me afterward that he killed a man, and I believe him, , but I saw no more of him. With a cut • I split the head of a fellow on a :brown horse, and he fell to the ground. Then I found myself opposite a big man, and I was half conscious of an-. other to my right: It was too Swarm to stay, and with a simultaneous ac- tion I drove my sI urs into my horse agate and my sword. full into the big man's breast. His bullet whizzed past my ear—I could almost swear it touch- ed it. I wrenched at the sword, but it would not come, and I dropped it and galloped after Sept, whom I now saw about twenty yards ahead.

It' was 8 o'clock or nearing Se, and the gates were all open, as they always were save wben the duke's caprice or intrigues shirt them. We rode in by: the same way as we had come out the• evening before, all four of us—the men and the horses—wearied and jaded. The streets were even quieter than when we had gone --ever, one was' sleeping off last night's revelry—and' we met hardly a soul till we reached the little gate of the palace. There Sept's old groom was waiting for us, "Is alt well, sir?" he asked. "All's well," said Sept, and the man, coining to see, took my hand to kiss. "The king's hurt!" he cried. "It's nothing" said I as I dismounted. "I caught my finger In the door." "Remember, silence!" said Sept. "Ah, but, my good Freyler, X do not need to tell you that." The old fellow shrugged his shoul- ders. 'All young men like to ride abroad now and then—why not the king?' said he,. and Sapt's laugh left his opin- ion of my motives undisturbed, "You should always trust a man," observed Sept, fitting the key in the lock, "just as far hs you must" We went la and reached the dressing groom. Flinging open the door, we saw Fritz von Tarienheim stretched, fully dressed, on the sofa. Ile seemed to have been sleeping, but our entry woke bin. Ile leaped to his feet, gave one glance at me and with a joyful cry threw himself ou his knees before me. "Thank God, sire! Thank God, you're safe!" be cried, stretching his hand up to catch hold of mine. I confess that I was moved, This king, whatever his faults, made people love him. For a moment I could not bear to speak or break the poor fel- low's illusion. But tough old Sept bad no such feeling; lie slapped his hand on his thigh delightedly. "Bravo, lad!" cried be. "We shall do!" Fritz looked up in bewilderment, I held 'out my hand. "You're wounded; sire!" he exclaim- ed. "It's only a scratch," said X, "but"— I paused. He rose to his feet with a bewilder- ed air. Bolding my hand, he looked me up and down and down- and up. Then suddenly he dropped my hand and reeled back. "Where's the king? Where's the L°ng?" he cried. "Hush, you fool!" hissed Sept. "Not so loud! here's the king." A knock sounded at the door. Sapt seized me by the hand. "Sere, quick! To the bedroom! Off with your tap and your boots. Get Into bed. Cover everything up." I did es I was bid. A moment later' Sept looked in, nodded, grinned and introduced an extremely smart and deferential young gentleman, who came up to my bedside, bowing again and again, and Informed me that he was of the household of tbe Princess Melo. and that her royal highness had sent him especially to inquire flow the king's health was after the fatigues which his majesty bad undergone yes- terday. "My best thanks, sir, to my cousin," maid I, "and tela her royal highness that I was never better in my Iife," "The„king," added old Sept, Who, I' began to find, loved a good lie for its own Sake, "bas slept without a break al} night."

We worked through the whole corps diploreatique in the next few days, a demise of the erown necessitating all this bother. Then at last I was left alone. I called my new servant (we had chosen to succeed poor Josef a young man who had never known the king), bad a brandy and soda brought to me and observed to Sept that I trusted that I might now have a rest. Fritz von Tarienheim was standing by. "By heavenl" he cried. "We waste time. Aren't we going to throw Black Michael by the heels?" "Gently, my son, gently," said Sept, knitting his brows. "It would be a pleasure, but it might cost us dear. Would Michael fall and Ieave the king alive?" "And," I' suggested, "while the king Is here in Strelsau, on his throne, what grievance has he against his dear bro- ther Michael?" "Are we to do nothing, then?" "We're to do nothing stupid," growl- ed Sapt, "In fact, Fritz," said X, "I am re- minded of a situation in oue of our English plays, ''tale Critic.' Have you heard of It? Or, If you like, of two men each covering the other with a re- volver. For I can't expose Michael without exposing myself"— "And the king," put in Sept: "And hang me if Michael won't ex- pose himself if he tries to expose met" "It's very pretty," said old Sept. "If I'm found out," I pursued, "I will make a clean breast of it and fight it out with the duke. But at present I'm waiting for a move from him." "He'll kill the king," said Fritz. "Not he," said Sept. "Haff of the Six are in Strelsau," said Fritz. "Only half? You're sure?" asked Sept eagerly. "Yes, only half." "Then the king's alive, for the other three are guarding him!" cried Sept. "Yes, you're right!" exclaimed Fritz, CITAI'Ti It VI>SX.

The king's interest demanded secre- cy, and while secrecy lasted 1 had a fine game to play in Strelsau. Michael should not grow stronger for delay. I ordered my horse and, attended by Fritz von Tarlenheim, rode in the grand new avenue of the royal park, returning all tbe salutes which I re- ceived WIth punctilious politeness.

"I pray for myself, der." As I spoke there same a cheer from the street. The prineess ran to the window. "It is he!" she cried, "It is --the Duke of Strelsau!" I smiled, but said nothing. She re- turned to her seat. For a few mo- ments we sat in silence. The noise Outside subsided, but I heard the tread of feet in the anteroom. I began to talk on general subjects. This went on for some minutes. I wondered what bad become of Michael, but it did not seem to be for rue to interfere. All at ouce, to my great surprise, Flavia, clasping her hands, asked in an agi- tated voice: "Are you wise to make him angry?" "What? Who? How am I making him angry?" "Wily, by keeping him waiting." "My dear cousin, I don't want to keep him"— "Well, then, is be to come in?" "Of course, if you wish it" She looked at use curiously. "How funny you are," she said. "Of course no one could be answered while I was with you." Isere was a charming attribute of royalty. "An excellent etiquette!" 1 cried. "But I had clean forgotten it, and if I were alone with some one else couldn't you be announced?" "You know as well as I do. I could be, because I am of the blood." And she still looked puzzled.

There are minor forms of skin trouble such as rough skin, red skin, chafing, chapping, pimples, blackheads, blotches, irritation, or poisoning from the cloth- ing, etc., which. disfigure and form a starting point for serious disease. .A few applications of Dr. Chase's Oint- ment at such times not only remove these blemishes. bet also restore the health and beauty of the skin, and posi- tively prevent further development. Dr. Chase's Ointment is delightfully pure and creamy, is pleasant to use, and is rapidly absorbed. It nets as a food. for the skin, making it soft, smooth and velvety. By its soothing, antiseptic and healing properties it allays inflammation. relieves itching, and heals sores, wounds,. and ulcers; (]0 cents a box, at all deal- ers, 'l?dmanson, Bates & Co., To- rento. i OUTSIDE ADVERTISING Orders for the insertion of advertisements such as teechers wanted, business chances, mechanics wanted, nrticks for sole, or 10 fact any kind of an advt. in any of the 'Toronto or other city paw rs, may be left at the ?milts office.
