I kissed her hand and went out cursing myself. Outside I found Master Fritz, quite - reckless of thefootmen playing at .. cat's cradle with the Countess Helga, "Hang it," said he, "we can't al- -ways be plotting! Love claims his e• share." "I'm inclined to think he does," said X, and Fritz, who had been by my :side, dropped respectfully behind. CHAPTER IX. I were to detail the ordinary events of my daily life atthis time they might prove in- structive to people who are not familiar with the insides of pal - acs; if I revealed some of the secrets I learned they might prove of interest - to the statesmen of Europe. I intend to do neither of these things. I should be between the Scylla of dullness and -•the Charybdis of indiscretion, and I feel that 1 had far better confine my- -.self strictly to the underground drama which was being played beneath the surface oil Ituritanian polities. I need only say that the secret of my im- posture defied detection. I made mis- takes. I had bad minutes. It needed .all the tact and graciousness evhereof .1 was master to smooth over some zip - parent lapses of memory and unnaind- • fulness of old acquaintances of which I was guilty. But I escaped, and I . attributed my escape, as I have said before, most of all to the very audac- ity of the 'enterprise. It is • my belief that, given the necessary physical like- ness, it was for easier to pretend to be king of Ruritania than It would have been to personate my next door neighbor. One day Sapt came into my room. Ile threw inc a letter, saying: • "That's for you—a. woman's hand, I think. But I've some news for you first." "What's that?" "The king's at the castle of Zenda," • said he. "How do you know?" "Becatise the other half of Michael's Six are there. .1 had inquiries made, and they're all there—Lauengram, Krafstein and young Rupert Hentzau— three rogues,loo, ou my honor, as fine . as live in Ruritania." "Well?" "Well, Fritz wants you to march to the castle with horse, foot and artil- .. "And drag the moat?" I asked. "That would be about It," grinned eSapt "and we shouldn't find the king's body then." • "You think it's certain he's there?"' "Very probable. Besides the fact of • those three being there, the drawbridge is kept up and no one goes In without ean order from young Hentzau or Black Michael himself. We must tie Fritz "Pil go to Zenda," said I. "You're mad." "Some day." "Oh, perhaps. You'll very likely stet -there, though, if you do." "That may be, my friend," said I .carelessly. "His majesty looks sulky," observed • :Sapt. "How's the love affair?" "Hold your tongue!" I said. lie looked at me for a mOment Then the lit his pipe. It was quite true- that I was in a bad temper, and I wenebn ;perversely: "Wherever I go I'm dogged by half a .dozen fellows." "I know you are. I send 'em," be re- -plied composedly. "What for?" "Well," said Sept, puffing away, "it wouldn't be exactly inconvenient for Black Michael -if yeu disappeared.

When you want to surprise yourself; give your pippctite a• treat with boners • Tin Perfection Cream Sodas stopped would be played—or he'd have a shot at it." "1 can take care of myself," r "De Gautet, Bersonin and. Detchard are in Strelsau, and any one of them, lad, would cut your throat as readily— as readily as I would Black Michael's aud a deal more treacherously. What's the letter?" I opened It and read it aloud; If the king desires to know what it deeply concerns the Ring to know let him do as this letter bids him. At the end. of the New avenue there stands a house in large grounds. The house has a portico, with a statue. of a nymph in it. A wall incloses the garden; there is ‚a gate in the wall at the back At 12 o'clock tonight, if the king enters alone by that gate, turns to the right and walks twenty yards, ho will find a summer house, ap- proached by a flight of six steps. If he mounts and enters he will find some one who will tell him what touches most clearly his life and his throne. This is written by a faithful friend. Ho must be alone. If he neglects the invitation his life will be in danger. Let him show this to no one, or he will ruin a woman who loves him-131ack Michael dors not Pardon. "No," observed Sept as I ended, "but he can dictate a very pretty letter." I had arrived at the same conclusion and was about to throw the letter away when I saw there was more writing on the other Side. "liello! There's some more." • If yeti kesitate [the writer continued] consult Colonel Sept— . "Eh?" exclainitid that gentleman, gen- uinely astonished. "Does she take me for a greater fool thaIl eon?" I waved to him to be silent. .Ask him wh4 woman would do most to prevent the .,duke from marrying his cousin and therefore most to prevent his becoming king? And ask if her name be- giffs with—A. I sprang to my feet. Sapt laid down his pipe. "Antoinette de McMinn, by heaven!" I cried. "How do you know?" asked Sept. I told hI what I knew of the lady and how I knew it. He nodded. "It's so far true . that she's had a great row with Michael," said he thoughtfully. "If she would, she could be useful," I said. "I believe, though, that Michael wrote that letter." "So do 1, but I mean to know for cer- tain. I shall go, Sept." "No, I shall go," said he. "You may go as far as the gate." "1 shall go to the summer house." "i'm hanged if you shall." I rose and leaned my back against the mantelpiece. "Sept, I believe in that woman, and I shall go." - "I don't believe in any woman," said Sept, "and you shan't go." "I either go to the summer house or back to England," said I. Sapt began to know exactly how far he could lead or drive and when he must follow. "We're playing against time," I add- ed. "Every day we leave the king where be is there is fresh risk. Every day I masquerade like this there is fresh risk. Sept, we must play high. mustaorce the game." "So he it," he said, with a sigh. • To cat the story short, at half -past 11'that higlit Sapt and I mounted our horses. Fritz was again left on guard, our destination not being revealed to him. It was a very dark night. wore no sword, but I carried a revolv- er, a long knife Id a bullseye lan- tern. We arrived outside the gate. I dismounted.' Sapt held out his hand. "1 shall wait here," he said. "If I hear a shot I'll"— "Stay where you are. It's the king's only ehance. You mustn't come to. grief too." "Y9u're right, lad. Good luck." I Pressed the little gate. It yielded, and I found myself in a wild sort of shrubbery, There was a grass grown reale and, turning to the right as I had been bidden, I followed It cau- tiously. My lantern was closed, the revolver was in my hand. I heard not a sound. Presently a large dark ob- jeet loomed out of the gloom ahead of me. It was the summer house. Reach- ing the steps, I mounted them and found myself confronted by a weak, rickety ,wooden door which hung upon the latch. X pushed it open and walk- ed in. A woman flew to me and seized tny hand. "Shut the door," she whispered. I obeyed and turned the light of my lantern on her. She was itt eyening dress, arrayed very sumptuously, and her dark Striking beauty was marvel- ouely displayed in the glare Of the bullseye. The summer hose was a bare little room, furnished only with a couple of Chairs and a small iron table, such as one Sees in a tea garden or an open air cafe. „ "Don't talk," she said. "We've no titae. Listen! 1 knAr yOU, Mr, liees- s•andyll. I wrote that letter at the duke's orders." "So 1 thought," saki L "In twenty minutes three men. will •be here to kilt you." "Three—the three?"

Michael will at Once arrest all your friends—Colonel Sept and Cap- tain von Tarlenheim first—proclaim a State of siege in Strelsau and seud a messenger to Zenda. The other three will murder the king in the castle, and the duke will proclaim either himself or the princess—himself if he is strong enough. Anyhow, he'll marry her and became icing in fact and soon la IWO% ])o you (Me?" "It's a pretty plot. But why, ma: dame, do you"— "Say I'm a Christian—or sag I'm jealous. My God, shall I see him Mar- ry her? Now go, but remember—this is what I have to tell you—that never by night or by day are you safe. Three men follow you as a guard. Is it not so? Well, three follow them. Michael's three are never 200 yards from you. Your life is not worth a inoineut it ever they find you alone. Now go. Stay—the gate will be guarded by now. Go down softly, go past the summer house, ou for a hundred yards. and And a ladder against the wall. Get over it and fly for your life." "And you?" I asked. "I have my game to play too. If he finds out what 1 have done, we shall not meet again. If not, I may yet— but never mind. Go at once." "But what will you tell him?" "That you never came—that you saw through the trick." I took her hand and kissed it ."eladame," said I, "you have served the king well tonight. Where is he in the castle?" She sank her voice to a fearful whis- per. I listened eagerly.. "Across the drawbridge you come to a heavy door. Behind that lies—hark! What's that?" There were -steps outside. "They're coining! They're too soon! Heavens, they're too soon!" And she turned pale as death. "They seem to me," said I, "to be In the nick of time." "Close your lantern. See, there's a chink in the door. Can you see them?" I put my eye to the clank. On the lowest step I saw three dim figures. I cocked iny rceelyer. Antoinette hasti- ly laid her hand on mine. "You may kill one," said she, "but What then?", A. voice came from outside—a voice that spoke perfect Engliele "Mr. Rassendyli," it said. I made no answer. "We want to talk to you. Will you promise not to shoot till we've done?" "Have I the pletisure of addressing Mr. Detchard?" 1 Mid. "Never mind nafnes." "Then let mine alone." "All right, sire. I've an offer for you." I still had my eye to the chink. The three had mounted two steps more. Three revolvers pointed full at the door. "Will you let us In? We pledge our honor to observe the rruce." "Don't trust them," whispered An. toinette. "We can spealr through the door," said I. "But you might open it and fire," ob- jected Detchard, "and, though we should finish you, you might finish one of us. Will you give your honor not to fire while we talk?" • 'Don't trust them," whispered An- toinette again. A. sudden idea struck. inc. I consid- ered it for a moment. It seemed feasi- ble. "I give my honor not to fire before you do," said I, "but I won't let you in. Stand outside and talk." "That's sensible," he said. The three mounted the last step and stood just outside the door. I laid my ear to the chink. I could hoar no ONLY A Common Cold BUT IT BECOMES A SERIOUS MATTER IF NEGLECTED. PNEUMONIA, IMONCIIITIS, ASTHMA,. !CATARRH or CON- SUMPTION IS THE RESULT.

Whereat I laughed again and said as I clapped him on the shoulder: "Come home to bed, old chap. I've got the finest tea table story that ever you heard!" Ile started and cried, "You're safer' But a moment later he edded: "And what the devil are you laugh - lee et?" -• • • - • - • - "Four gentlemen Tound a tea table." said I, laughing still, for it had been uncommonly ludicrous to see the for- midable three altogether routed and scattered with no more deadly weapon than an. ordinary tea table.

T was the custom that the - prefect of police should send every afternoon a report to me on the condition of the capital and the feeling of the people, Tho document included also an ac- count of the movements of any persons whom the police had received instruc- tions to watch. Since I had been in 1 Strelsau Sept had been in the habit of reading the report and telling me any items of interest which it might con- tain. On the day after my adventure in the summer house he came in as I was playing a hand of ecarte with Fritz von Tarlenbeim. "The report is rather full of interest this afternoon," he observed, sitting down. "Do you find," I asked, "any men- . li R •etirt The table caught them full and square. words, but Detcherds head was close to that of the taller of his compauions (De Gautet, I guessed). "Irm!

They, were all close together, just outside the door now. I bad probed the hearts of the ruf- fians, and I did not need Autoinette's warning. They meant to "rush" me as soon as 1 was engaged in talk. "Give me a minute to consider," said I, and I thought I heard a laugh out- side. 1 turned to Antoinette. "Stand up close to the wall out of the line of fire from the door," I whis- pered. "What are you going to ftsked in fright. "You'll see," said I. I took up the little iron table. It was not very heavy for a man of my, strength, and I held it by the legs. The top, protruding in front of me, made al complete screen for my bead and body. I fastened my closed lantern to my belt and put my revolver hi a handy pocket. Suddenly I saw the door move ever so slightly. Perhaps it was the wind; perhaps it was a hand trying it outside. 1 drew back as far as I could from the door, holding the table in the posi- tion that I have described. Then. 11 called out: "Gentlemen, I accept your offer, re-. lyiug on your honor. If you will open the door"— "Open it yourself," said Detchard. "It opens outward," said I. "Stand back a little, gentleinen, or I shall hit you when I open it" I went and fumbled with the latch. Then I stole back to my place on tip- toe. "f can't open it!" I cried. "The latch, has caught." "Tut! I'll open it!" cried Detchard. "Nonsense, Bersonin! Why not? Are yon afraid of one man?" I smiled to myself. An instant later the door was flung back.
