At the worst he would stand where he

vulgar cannot stare at you or incom-

meauilig of that pipe.' And he laughed

to replenish the king's glass, for the
king was at supper. And the king.

his house, grew red and•then white as

the fellow shuddered—"it is not easy
to sleep quiet to the castle of Zeuda,
for all of them would as soon cut a
u►au's throat as play a game at cards,
and my Lord Rupert would choose it
sooner for a pastime than any other."
Tim man ceased, and I bade Fritz
take him away and have him carefully
guarded., and, turning to him, i. added:
"If any sue asks you if there is a
prisoner in Zenda you may answer
'Yes.' But If any asks who the prison-
er in, do not answer. For all• my prom-
ises Will not save you if any man here
learns from you thq truth as to the
prisdner in Zenda. I'll kill you like a
dog if the thing be so much as breathed
within tie house!"
Then when be was gone I looked at
Sept.
"it Is a hard nut," said I.
"So hard," said he, shaking his griz-
zled head, "that, as I think, this time
next year is like to find you still king
of Ruritenia!" and he broke out into
curses on Michael's eunning.
I lay back on ray,pillOws,
"There seem to me," I observed, "to
be two ways by which the king can
coma ,out of Zenda alive. One is by
treachery in the duke's followers."
"lou can leave that out," said Sapt.
"I 'holie not," .1 rejoined, "because

was in some danger. This I learned
from the man Johann, whom le was
compelled td trust and seud back to
Zenda, where, by the way, Rupert
fentzau had him soundly flogged for
daring to smirch the morals of Zeuda
by staying out all night. This, from
Rupert, Johann deeply resented, ,and
the duke's approval of it did more to
bind the keeper to my side, than all
my promises,
On Flavia's arrival I cannot dwell.
Iier joy at finding me up and well In-
stead of on my back and fighting with
death makes a picture that even, now
dances before :ny eyes till they grow
too dim to see it, and her reproaches
that I bad not trusted even her must
excuse the meaus I took to quiet them.
In truth, to have her with me once
more was like a taste of heaven to a
damned soul, the sweeter for the inev-
itable doom that vvas to follow, and I
rejoiced in being able to waste two
whole days with her. And when I had
wasted two days the Duke of Strelsau
arranged'hunting party.
The stroke was near now, for Sept
and I after anxious consultations bad
resolved that we must risk a blow, our
resolution being clinched by Jobann's
news that the king grew peaked, pale
and 111 and that his health was break-
ing~ down under his rigorous confine-
ment. Now, a man, be he king or no
king, may as well die swiftly and as
becomes a gentleman, front bullet or
thrust, as rot his life out in a cellar.
That thought made prompt action ad-
visable in the interests of the king.
From ray' own point of view it grew
more and more necessary, for Stra-
ki?nez urged on me the need of a
speedy marriage,. and my own inclina-
tions seconded him with such terrible
insistence that I feared for my resolu-
'tion. I do not believe that I should
have done the deed I dreamed of, but
I might have come to flight, and my
flight would have ruined the cause.
It is perhaps as strange a thing as
has ever been in the history of a coun-
try that the king's brother and the
king's personator in a time of profound
outward peace near a placid, undis-
tnrbed country town, under semblance
of amity, should wage a desperate• war
for the person and life of the king.
Yet such was the struggle that began
uoiv between Zenda and Tarlenheim.
When I look back on the time I seem
to myself to have been half mad. Supt
has told me that I suffered no interfer-
mice „and listened to no remonstrances,
and if ever a king of Ituritania ruled
like a despot I was in those days the
man. Look where I would, I saw noth-
ing that made life sweet to me, and 1
took my Iife in my band and carried
it carelessly, as a man dangles an old
glove. At first they strove to guard
me, to keep me safe, to persuade me
not.,to expose myself, but when they
saw how I was set there grew up
among them, whether they knee+ the
truth or not, a feeling that fate ruled
the Issue and that 1 must be left to
play my game with Michael my own
way.
Late nest night I rose from table,
wheretlrlavia had sat by me, and con-
diJcted her to the door of her apart-
ments. There I kissed her hand and
bade her sleep sound and wake to hap-
py days. Then I changed nay clothes
and went out. Supt and Fritz were
Waiting for inc with three men.and. the
hdrses. Over his saddle Sapt carried
a Iong coil of rope, and both were
heavily armed. I ltud with me a
short stout cudgel and a long knife.
Making a circuit, we avoided the town
and in an hour found ourselves slowly
mounting the hill that led to the ORB.
'tie of Zenda. The nightwas dark and
very stormy, gusts of wind and spite
of rain caught us as We breasted the
incline; and the great trees tnoaned

Supt silently and diligently set to
make fast the rope. I stripped oft my
boots, took a pull at a :flask of brandy,
looseuctt the knife in Its sheath and
took the cudgel between my teeth.
Then I shook hands with my friends%
not heeding a last look of entreaty
from Fritz, and laid hold :et the rope.
I was going to have n look at Jacoh'i;k
ladder.
Gently I lowered myself into tbe wa-
ter. Though the Right were wild, the
day had been warm and bright and
the water was not cold. I struck out
and began to swim round the great
walls which frowned above me, I
could see only three yards ahead. I
bad. then good hopes of not being seen
as 1 crept along close under the damp,
moss grown masonry. Thera` ;were
lights from the new part of the castle
on the other side, and now and again
1 heard laughter and merry shouts. 1
fancied I recognized young Rupert
Iieutzau's ringing tones and pictured
him flushed with wine.
Recalling my thoughts to the busi-
ness in hand, I- rested a moment. If
Jobann's description were right, I must
be near the window now. Very slowly
I moved, and out of the darlmess ahead
loomed a shape. It was the pipe, curv-
ing from the window to the water.
About two feet of its surface was dis-
played. It was as big round as two
men. I was about to approach It when
I saw something else, and my heart
stood still. The nose of a boat protrud-
ed beyond the pipe on the other side,
and, listening intently, I beard a slight
shuffle, as of a man shifting Isis posi-
tion. Who was the man who guarded
'ellehael's invention? Was he awake or

Ile read the poet's lines to her
When she was young and fair;
He gave a meantug to the words
That few discovered there.
Within his breast he had a heart
Such as no olown might claim;
He had a high regard for art,
And understood the same.
To her he read the post's lines
With all a poet's feeling,
And now and then she heaved a sigh
Wbile gazing at the oeiliug;
Fant it was not the poet's thought
That canned her pensivenees;
Her corset was so tight that she
Was always in distress.
In later years, when he could claim
The lady as his own,
He read the poet's lines to her
A.s they two sat alone.
His tones were deep and soft and rich.
In every verse ho naught
The feeling and the charm with which
The port's words were fraught,
And white he sat and read to her
With tense enthusiasm,
She often writhed as if she were
About to have a spasm;
But ne'er a word her being stirred
To sorrow or delight;
She sighed and rolled her eyes and
squirmed
Because her shoes were tight.

sat a young lady for whom Ito oonoeived
a sadden and violent passicn, was de-
lirious of entering into a coertship on
the spot; but the piece not spiting a

ing text: Second Epistle of John, verse
fifth—"And now I beseeoh thee, lady,
not as hough I wrote a new, command-
ment unto •thus, but that which we had
from the beginning, that we love one
another." She returned it, painting
to the second chapter of Ruth, verse
tenth—"Then she fell on her faoe and
bowed herself to the ground, and said

Complicated
Liver Troubles
Mr. John Wilson, carpenter, Welland,
Ont., writes:—" Some years ago I was
attacked with kidney trouble, and I be-
came so run down and emaciated that
my entire appearance was suggestive of
physical decline. • As time went on the
complaint grew worse and became com-
plicated with liver trouble. I had bad
pains across the back and up the spinal
column, had bad spells with my heart,
pain under the right shoulder, bilious
headache about half the time, indiges-
tion, fever, and restlessness at night, and
depression of spirits.
"I spent about one hundred dollars in
medicines, with no perceivable results -
Doctors' advice proved likewise of no avail.
"Flintily, on the advice of a friend, I
began taking Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver
Pills, and in a short time the bad symp-
toms began to gradually disappear, and
by the time I had used five or six boxes
I was enjoying better health than I had
in many years, all of which is due to the
virtues of Dr. Chase's Kidney Liver
Pills." 25 cents a box, at all dealers.
