reached the doors and dismounted.
There a servant handed me a note.
It was unaddressed.
"Is it for me?" I asked.
"Yes, sire; a boy brought it."
I tore it open:

I handed it to Sept, but all that the
tough old soul said in reply to this
piteous appeal was:
"Whose fault brought ber there?"
Nevertheless, not being faultless my-
self, I took leave to pity Antoinette de
Mauban,
CHAPTER SYI.
S I had ridden publicly in Zen -
da and had talked with Ru-
pert Hentzau, of course all
`as : pretense of illness was at an
end. I marked the effect on the garri-
son of Zenda. They ceased to be seen
abroad, and any of my men who went
near the castle reported that the ut-
most
tmost vigilance prevailed there. Touch-
ed tis I was by Mme. de Mauban's ap-
peal, I seemed as powerless to befriend
Icer as I had proved to help the icing.
Michael bade me defiance, and, al-
though he, too, had been seen outside
the walls, with more disregard for ap-
pearances than he had hitherto shown,
he did not take the trouble to send any
excuse, for his failure to wait on the
king, ,
Time ran on in inactivity when every
:;moment was pressing, for not only
was I faced with the new danger
which the stir about my own disap-
pearance brought on mate, but great
murmurs bad arisen in Strelsau at my
'continued absence from the city. They
had been greater but for the knowl-
edge that Flavia was with. me, and
for this reason I suffered her to stay,
though I hated to have her where dan-
ger was and though every day of our
'present sweet intercourse strained my
endurance almost to breaking. As a
final blow nothing would content my
Advisers, Strakencz and the chancellor,
who came out from Strelsau to make
:an urgent representation to me, save

public solemnization of my betrothal,
a ceremony which in Ruritania is well
nigh as binding • and great a thing as
A
the marriage itself. ' And this, with
Flavia 'sitting by me, I was forced to
do, setting a date a fortnight ahead
and appointing the cathedral In Strel-
sau as the place. And this formal act,
being published far and wide, caused
great joy throughout the kingdom and
was the talk of all tongues, so that I
reckoned there were but two men who
.chafed at it—I mean Black Michael
and myself—and but one who did not

In truth, I heard something of the
way the news was received in the cas-

walling on the duke when the tidings
ea,me. Black Michael's face had grown
blacker still, and he had sworn sav-
agely. Nor was he better pleased when
Rupert took oatb that I meant to do as
I said and, turning to Mme. de Man -
ban, wished her joy on a rival gone.
Michael's hand stole toward his sword,
said Johann, but not a bit did Rupert
care, for he rallied the duke on hav-
ing made a better king than had reign-
ed for years past In Ruritania. "And,"
said he, with a meaning bow to his ex-
asperated master, "the devil sends
the princess a finer man than heaven
had marked out for her. By my soul, be
does!" Then Michael harshly bade him
hold his tongue and leave them, but
Rupert must needs first kiss madame's
hand, which he did as though ho loved.
her, while Michael glared at him.
This was the lighter side of the fel-
low's news, but more serious came be-
hind, and it was plain that if time
pressed at Tarlenheim it pressed none
the less fiercely at Zenda. For the king
was very sick. Johann had seen him,
and he was waited and hardly able to
move. "There could be no thought of
taking another for him now." So alarm-
ed were they that they had sent for a
physician from Strelsau, and the physi-
cian, baying been introduced late the
king's cell, had come forth pale and
trembling and urgently prayed the
fluke to let him go back and meddle no
more in the affair. But the duke would
not, and held him there a prisoner, tell -
'Mg him his life was safe if the king
lived while the duke desired and died
wheu the duke desired—not otherwise.
And, persuaded by the physician, they
bad allowed Mme. de Mauban to visit
the king and give him such attendance
as his state needed and as only a wom-
an can give. Yet his life hung in the
balance, and X was yet strong and
whole and free. Wherefore great gloom
reigned at Zenda, and, save when they
quarreled, to which they were very
prone, they hardly spoke. But the
deeper the depression of the rest,
young Rupert went about Satan's work
with a smile in his eye and a song on
his lip, and laughed "fit to burst" (said
Johann) because the duke always set
Detchard to guard the king when Mme.
de Mauban was in the cell—which pre-
caution was, indeed, not unwise in my
careful brother. Thus Johann told his
tale and seized his crowns. Yet he be-
sought us to allow him to stay with us
in Tarlenheim, and not venture his
head again in the lion's den, but We
had need of him there, and, although I
refused to constrain him, I prevailed on
him by increased rewards to go back
and to carry tidings to Mme. de Mau-
ban
auban that I was working for her and
that, if she could, she should speak one
word of comfort to the king, for, while
suspense is bad for the sick, yet de-
spair 1.4 worske still, and it might be
that the king lay dying of mere hope-
lessness, for 1 could learn of no deft=
nite disease that afflicted him.
"And how do they guard the king
now?" I asked, remembering that two
of the Six were dead and Max Holf
also.
"Detchard and Bersonin watch by
night, Rupert Hentzau and Gautet by
day, sir," he answered.
"Only two at a timet' •
"Aye, sir, but the others rest in a
room just above and are within sound
of a cry or a whistle."
"A room just above? I didn't know
of that. Is there any communication
between it and the room where they
watch?"
"No, sir. You must go down a few
stairs and through the door by the
drawbridge, and so to where the king
is lodged."
"And that doer is locked?"
"Only the four lords have keys, sir."
I drew nearer to him.
• "And have they keys of the grat-
ing?"
at-
ing?" I asked in a tow whisper.
"I think, sir, only Detchard and Ru-
pe"
"Where does the duke lodge?"
"In the chateau on the first floor.
IIis apartments are on the right as
you go toward the drawbridge."
"And Mme. de Aiauban?"
"Just opposite on the left. But her
door is locked after she has entered."
"To keep her in?"
"Doubtless, sir."
'And the duke; I suppose, has the
key?"
"Yes. And the drawbridge is drag
back at night, and of that, too, the
duke holds the key, so that it cannot
be run across the moat without applin
cation to him."
"And Where do you sleep?"
.tie entrance hall of the chateau,
with five servants."
"Armed?"!
"They .hnve,,i 1kes, sir, but no fire-
arms. 'The tfoke will not trust theft
ttvith firearms."
Then at last t took the Matter boldly
in my hands. I had failed once at
Jacob's ladder; 1 should fail again
there. I must make the atteek from
the other side.
"I have premised you twenty thou-
sand crowns," said i. "You shall have
fifty thousand If you will do what I
ask of you tomorrow night. 'But, • first,
do those servants ]mow who your pris-
oner is?"
"No, sir. They believe hist to be

"llow should they?" he asked.
"Look to this, then. 'rromorrew at 2

"Shall you be there, sir?"
"Ask no questions. Do what I tell

The man was trembling, but I had to
trust to what he had of courage and to
what he had of bouesty. 1 dared not
wait, for I feared that the king would
W'Ueu the fellow was gone, I called.
Sapt and Fritz to me and unfolded the
plan that I had formed, Sapt shook
his head over It.
"Wiry can't you wait?" he asked.
"The king may die."
"Michael will be forced to act before
that."
"Then," said I, "the king may live."
"Well, and if he does?"
"For a fortnight?" I asked simply.
And Sept bit his mustache.
Suddenly Fritz von Tarlenhelm laid
his hand on my shoulder.
"Let us go and make the attempt"
said he.
"I mean you to go—don't be afraid,"
said I.
"Aye, but do you stay here and take
care of the princess?"
A gleam came into old Sapt's eye.
"We should have Michael one way
or the other then," he chuckled, "where-
as if you go and are killed with the
king what will become of those of us.
who are left?"
"They will serve Queen Flavia," said
1, "and I would to God I could be one
of them."
A pause followed. Old Sept broke it
by saying sadly, yet with an unmeant
drollery that set Fritz and ins laugh-
ing:
"Why didn't old Rudolf III. marry
your—great-grandmother, was it?"
"Come," said I; "it is the king we
are thinking about."
"It is true," said Fritz.
"Moreover," I went on, "I have been
an impostor for the profit of another,
but I will not be one for my own, and
if the king is not alive and on his
throne before the day of betrothal
comes I will tell the truth, come what
may."
"You shall go, lad," said •Sapt.
Hero is the plan I had made: A
strong party under Sapt's command
was to steal up to the door of the
chateau. If discovered prematurely,
they were to kill anyone who found
them with their swords, for I wanted
no noise of firing. If all went well,
they would be at the door when Jo-
hann opened it. They were to rush in
and secure the servants if their mere
presence and the use of the king's
name were not enough. At the same
moment—and on this hinged the plan—
a woman's cry was to ring out loud
and shrill from Antoinette de Man -
ban's chamber. Again and again sbe
was to cry: "Help, help! Michael,
help!" and then to utter the name of
young Rupert Hentzau. Then, as we
hoped, Michael, in fury, would rush
out of his apartments opposite anti'
fall alive into the hands of Sept. Still
the cries would go on. My men would
let down the drawbridge, and it would
be strange if Rupert, hearing his name
thus taken in vain, did not descend
from where he slept and seek to cross.
De Gautet might or might not coma
with him. That must be left to
chance.
And when Rupert set his foot on the
drawbridge? There was my part, for
I was minded for another swim in the
moat; and, lest I should grow weary,
I bad resolved to take with me a small
wooden ladder on which I could rest
my arms in the water—and my feet
when I left it. I would rear it against
the wall just by the bridge, and when
tlae bridge was across I would stealthi-
ly creep on to it—and then if Rupert
or De Gautet crossed in safety it would

Would be, the marshal would take Fla -
via with him, as swiftly as he could,
to Strelsau and there proclaim Black
Michael's treachery and the probable
death of the king and rally all that
there was honest and true round the'
banner of the princess. And, to say'
truth, this was what I thought most
likely to hannen,
For I had great doubts Whether ei-
ther the king or Black Michael or I had
more than a day to live. Well, if Black
Michael died, and if I, the play actor,
slew Rupert Hentzau with my own
hand and then died myself, it might
be that fate_ would deal as lightly with
Ruritania afi could be hoped, notwith-
standing that it demanded the life of
the king—and to her dealing thus with
me I was in no temper to make objec-
tion.
It was late when we rose from con-
ference, and 1 betook me to the prin-
cess' apartments. She was pensive
that evening, yet when I left her she
flung her arm's about me and grew for
an Instant bashfully radiant as she
slipped a ring ou my finger. I was
wearing the king's ring, but I had also
on my little finger a plain band of gold

ily, "Nil Qum?. Feel.” This I took off.
' Wear that ring even though, you wear
another when you arc queen."
and put on her finger and signed to her
to let me go. Ahd she, understanding,
stood away and watched me with
dimmed eyes.
"Wear that ring even though you
wear another when you are queen," I
said.
"Whatever else I wear, this I will
wear till I die and after," said she as
she kissed the ring.
CHAPTER BVI;.
FIE night came fine and clear. I
had prayed for dirty weather,
such as. had favored my pre-
vious voyate in the moat, but
fortune was this time against me.
Still, 1 reckoned that by keeping close
under the wall and in the shadow I
could escape detection from the win-
dows of the elateau that looked out
on the scene of my efforts. I1 they
searched the meat, Indeed, my scheme
must fail, but I did not think they

"Anil there."4 added, "you shaltbe.
Doesn't that content you?"
But It did not. Ilearly would he have
liked to come with me had I mot utter-
ly refused to take hits. One man
might escape notice. To double the
party more than doubled the risk, and
when he ventured to hint ono again
that my life was too valuable I, know-
ing the secret thought he clung to,
sternly bade him be silent, assuring
him that unless the king lived through
the night I would not live through It
either.
At 12 o'clock Sapt's command left the
chateau of Tarlenheim and struck oil~
to the right, riding by unfrequented
roads and avoiding the town of Zen -
da. If all went well, they would be in
front of Zenda by about a quarter to 2.
Leaving their horses half a mile off,
they were to steal up to the entrance
and hold themselves In readiness for
the opening of the door. If the door
were not opened by 2 they were to
send Fritz von Tarlenheim round to
the other side of the castle. I would
meet him there if 1 were alive, and
we would consult whether to storm the
castle or not. If I were not there,
they were to return with all speed to
Tarlenheim, rouse the marshal and
march in force on Zenda, for if not
there I should be dead, and I knew
that the king would not be alive five
minutes after I had ceased to breathe.
I must now leave Sapt and his
friends and relate how I myself pro-
ceeded on this eventful night. I went
out on the good horse which had car-
ried me on the night of the coronation
back from the shooting lodge to Strel-
sau. I carried a revolver in the saddle
and my sword. I was covered with a
large cloak, and under this' I wore a
warm, tight fitting woolen jersey, a
pair of knickerbockers, :thick stockings
and light canvas shoes. I bad rubbed
myself thoroughly with oil, and I ear-
ried a large flask of whisky. The
night was warm, put I might probably
be immersed a long while, and it was
neatssar c• to take every precaution
afiainst cold, for cold not only saps a
mast's courage if he has to die, but
impair his energy if others have to
d:e and finally gives him rheumatics if
It be God's will that he lives. Also I
tied Tnuntl my body a length of thin
but stout co}til, and I did not forget my
ladder. I, starting after Sapt, took a
shorter route, skirting the town to the
left, and found myself in the outskirts
of the forest at about half past 12.
I tied my horse up in a thick clump
of trees, leaving the revolver in its
pocket in the saddle—it would be no
use to me—and, ladder in hand, made
my way to the edge of the moat. Here
I unwound my rope from about my
waist bound it securely round the
trunk of a tree on the bank and let
myself down. The castle clock struck
a quarter to 1 as I felt the water under
me and began to swim round the keep,
pushing the ladder before me and hug-
ging
ug-
sng the castle wall. Thus voyaging,
I came to my old friend, Jacob's lad-
der,
adder, and felt the ledge of masonry
under me. I crouched down in the
shadow of the great pipe—I tried to
stir it, but it was quite immovable --
and waiter.]. I remember that my pre-
dominant feeling was neither anxiety
for the king nor longing for Flavin,
but an intense desire to smoke, and
this craving, of course, I could not
gratify.
The drawbridge was still in itsplace.
I saw its airy, light framework above
me, some ten yards to my right, as I
crouched with my back against the
wail of the k-ifig's cell. I made out a
window two yards my side of it and
nearly on the same level. That, if
Johann spoke true, must belong to the
duke's apartments, and on the other
side, in about the same relative posi-
tion, most be Mme. de Mauban's win-
dow.

creatures. I prayed that she might
not forget that she was to he the vic-

part I had assigned to niy young friend
Rupert Hentzau, but I owed him a

that seemed half to hide his treach-

Suddenly the duke's window grew
bright The shutters were not closed,
and the interior became partially visi-
ble to me as I cautiously raised myself
till I stood on tiptoe. Thus placed, my
range of sight embraced a yard or
more inside the window, while the ra-

window wag flung open, and some one
looked out. I marked Antoinette de

of her head was revealed against the

Boys Who Are Wanted.
A man recently advertised for a boy
who "does not smoke cigarettes or drink,
who goes to bed nights, and is willing
and able to get up in the morning." It
reminded the editor of a conversation
he had heard on the street.
Said one prosperous marketman to
another, "Da you know a good man to
go on a delivery wagon?"
' I don't know a 'good' man," was the
reply. "So. and -so wants a job,"
"What is he worth?"
"Oh, maybe five or six dollars a
week,"
"Don't want him. I can get plenty
of that sort."
To be sure he can. They are mostly
in the classes which the advertiser would
not have. They have some wasteful,
demoralizing habit which unfits them
for patting their best into their work.
They may be willing to go to bed when
it comes night, but they are reluctant to
get up in the morning. They are espec-
ially reluctant to get up for any work
which does not exactly suit their fancies,
and when they do go about their work,
they do itin a half-hearted way, with
no enthnsiam except for the time to stop.
They earn what they are worth—but the
employer who wants good work cannot
afford to hire them even at that.
There is another type of boy, however,
who does not have to waste time study-
ing advertisements. Employers who are
not willing to pay him for his time—to
pay a good price for good work—need
not hope to get him. He is up, bright
and alert, looking out to best the job he
is put to, He gets a good job, and goes
from that into a better, and by and by
ho and his kind hold all the good jobs.
Keep close watch on the boy of that
type Ele is going to be the man who
will have the handling of affairs.

NOON
Never Expected
to 'Walk Again
Mr. John Best, Thamesville, Ont.,could
not walk a step when he began using
Dr. Chase's. Nerve Food, could scarce-
ly feed himself and had pains in his
back and sides. His doctor treated him
for locomotor ataxia, but told him he
could never get better. He could not
feel the needles the doctor stuck into Ida
legs.
Three, months after beginning the use
of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, Mr. Best
wrote as follows: "I am glad to tell
you that I have been wonderfully bene-
fited by the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve
Food. I can now walk all over with-
out crutch or cane, can sleep and eat
well, and do lots of work about the
farm. In fact I am the wonder of the
neighborhood where I ..live, for I never
expected to be able to walk again.
Thanks to God and your wonderful
medicine, I am around again and tell
every one what it has done for me."

box, 6 boxes for 82.50, at all dealers
