He is known to be a daring young fel- low, and he has never failed in a siege against the heart of woman. Report hasit that he is the most invincible Lothario that ever _donned love's ar- mor." Beverly wee conscious of fur• - tive glances in har direction, and a faint pink stole into her temples. "Our fugitive princes are lucky in neither love nor War," went on the duke. "Poor Denten, who is hiding from Gabriel, is betrothed to the difhter g the Dreg - mit prime minister o Dawsbergen, the beautiful Iolanda1 have seen her, She is glorious, your highness." "I, too, have seen her," said Yetive, more gravely than she thought "The report of their betrothal is tree, there?" "His sutlden overthrow prevented the tfinetials which were to have taken. place in a menth had not Gabriel re- turned. Her father, the Duke of Mats, „Wisely accepted the inevitable and be - 'came prime minister to Gabriel. Iolan- da, it is said, remains true te,him and sends messages to him as he vtanders through the mouptains." Beverly's mind instantly reverted to the confessions of Baldos, He had ad- mitted the sending and receiving of messages; through Franz. Try as she would, she, could not drive the thought from _her mind that he was Denten, and now came- the distressing fear that • his secret messages Were words of love from Iolanda. The audience last- ed until late in the night, but She was so 'occupied with her own thoughts that she knew of but little that transpired. Of one thing she was sere. She could not go to sleep that night • 'CHAPTER XXI. HE next morning Aunt Fanny • had a •hard time of it. Her mistress was petulant; there was no sunshine in the bright August day as it appeared to her. To- ward dawn, after she had counted many millions of black sheep jumping backward over a fence, she had fallen asleep. Aunt Fanny obeyed her usual -instructions on this hioltless morning. It was Beverly's rule to be nailed ev- • ery =ming .at 7 o'clock. But how was her attendant* to know. that the graceful young creature, who had kick- ed the counterpane to the foot of the bed and had mauled the pillow out of • all shape, had slept for less than thirty minutes? How was she to know that the flushed face and frown were born • in the course of a night of distressing perplexities? She knew only thdt the sleeping beauty wholay before her was the fairest creature in all the uni- verse. For some minutes Aunt Fanny stood off and admired the rich youthful glory of the sleeper, prophetically ire- hictant to disturb her happiness. Then she obeyed the impulse of duty and spoke the summoning words. "Wha—what tibie is it?" demanded the newcomer from the land of Nod, stretching her fine young body with a splendid but discontented yawn. "Sebens Miss Bevay. • Who! thne do yo' s'pose hit is? Hit's d' reg'lah time, o' co'se. Did yo' all have a nice sleep, boney?" and Aunt Fanny went bliss- tully about the bu'siness•of, the hour. "I didn't sleep a wink, confound it," grumbled Beverly, rubbing her .eyes and turning on aer back to glare up at the tapestry above the couch. "Yo' wasna nankin' any when Ah fust come into de room, lemme tell yo'," cackled Abut Fanny, with caus- tic freedom. • "See here, now, Aunt Fanny, I'm not going to stand any lecture from you this morning. When a fellow hasn't slept_ a"— "Who's adecturie anybody; Ah'd lak to know? Alam jes' tellin' yowhat yo' was a-doin' when Ah came into de room. Yo' was a-sleepip' p'etty dog- gone tight, lemme tell yo'. Is yo' goin' out fo' yo' svaik befo' b'eakfusa honey? 'Cause if yo' is, yo' all 'II be obleegecl to climb out'n dat baid maghty quick- • like. Yo' baf is ready, Miss Bevay." Beverly sploshed the water with un- reasonable ferocity for a few minutes, trying to enjoy -a diversion that had not failed her until this 'morning. • ,"Aunt Fanny," she announced after .looking darkly through her window into the mountains above, "if you can't brush my hair—ouch!—any easier. than this I'll have some one else do It that's all. • You're a regular old bear." • "Po' 111' honey," was all the com- placent bear said in reply, without al- tering her methods In the least. , "Well," said Beverly threateningly, wIth a elialte of her bead, "be careful, that's all. Have you heard. the news?" "Who! pews, Miss Beiray?" • "We're:going back to Washin'ton." "Thank de Lawd! When?" "I don't knoWi. I've just this instant made up -my mind. I think we'll start —let's see,, this is the 6th of August, Isn't it? Well, look and see if you don't know, stupid! The 10th? My goodness! Where bas the time gone, anyway? Well, we'll start some time between the Ilth and the 12th." "Of dis motif, Miss lamely?" ‘. "No. September. I want you to look up a timetable for me today. We must see about the trains." • 'Dey's on'y one leavin' bath daily, an' hit goes at 6 in de M0711iTe. One train a day! Ain' dat scantious?" "I'm sore, Aunt Fanny, it is their business, not ours," said Beverly se- verely. C ST R 1A For Infants and Children.

Beverly's , eyes brightened. f .1 "Oh, do you think so?" she said, quite • indifferently. "Willa are you doing with that hat?" "Takin' out de featheh—jes' BS"— "Well, leave it alone. Don't disturb my things, Aunt Panty. How many times must I tell you"--_ "Good Lawd!" was all that Aunt • Fanny could sig. • "Don't forget about tbe time tables," said Beverly as the sallied forth for her walk in the park.' In the afternoon shewent driving with Princess Yetive and the young Duke of Mizrox, upon whose innocent 'and sufficiently troubled head she was heaping secret abuse 'because .of the news be brought, Later Count Mar- lanx appeared at the castle for his first lesson in poker. He looked so sure -of himself that Beverly hated him to the point of desperation. At the same tinie she was eager to learn how matters • stood with Baldos. The count's threat Still hung over her head, velled,by its ridiculous shadow of mercy. She knew him well eno-ugh by this time to feel • convinced that Baldos would have to accounteefor his temerity sooner. Or lateraaft was like the cat and the help- less mouse. . "It's foo hot». she protes ed, when he announced himself ready for the game. "Nobody plays poker wheo it's, 92 in the shade." - "But, your highness," complained the • count, "war may break °litany. day. I cannot concede delay." • ' 'I think there's a game called 'shoot- ing' craps'" suggested she serenely. • "It- seems to me it would be partlea- larly good for warriors, You could be shooting something all the time." Re went away in a decidedly irasci- ble frame of mind. She did not know It, but` Baldos was goon afterward set to work in the garrison stables, a most loathsome occupation, in addition to bis duties as a guard by night. r After mature deliberation Beverly set 'herself to the task of -writing home to ilier fatber. It was her supreme in-. .tention to convince him that she would ' be off for the • States In an amazingly •<short time. The major npon receiving tbe letter three weeks later found noth- ing in it to warrant the belief that she was ever coming home. He did ob- eerve, however, that the had but little - use for the army of Graustark and Wile especially disappointed in the set of teen Yetive retained as her private guard. For the life of her Beverly could not have told -why she disap- proved of the guard in general or in • particular, but she was conscious of the fact after the( letter was posted that she had laid many •things that • might have been left unwritten. Be- sides, it was not Baldos' fault that she . could not sleep. It was distinctly her own. He had nothing to do with It. 'P11 bet father wilNse glad to hear that I am codsing home," she said to Yetive after the letter was gone. "Oh, Beverly, dear, I bete to bear or your going," cried- the prin.cess. "When did you tell him you'd start?" "Why—oh—er—let me see, when did I say? Dash me. as Mr. 'Anguish would say, I -don't believe I gave a date. - It seems to tue I said -soon; that's all." • "You don't know bow relieved I am," exclaimed Yetive rapturously. and Bev- erly was in high 1 dudgeon because of •.aimat afia.

They did not talk touch. The miselon of tbese 'Venturesome Yawns American _husbands was full of danger, Something in the air had told their wivea that the arst blows of war were to be, struck before they looked again upon th.e men they loied. "I think' sve have been betrayed by SOMe OLIO," Said Doginar after an al- most interminable silence. Her com- panion did not reply. "The couriers say that Gabriel knows where we are weakest et the front and that he knows our every movement. • Yetive, there is a spy here after all." "And that spy ,has access to the very heart of our deliberatiOns," added Bev- erly pointedly. "I say this in behalf of the man WhOill you evidently sispect, Countess. He could not know these .things." "I do not spy that he does know, Miss Calhoun, but it Is not beyond rea- son that he may be the, go-between, tbe means of transferring int- on ation from the main traitor to the messengers who await outside our will*" "Oh, 1 don't believe Al" cried Beverly hotly. .• "I, wonder if these things would have happened if Baldos had never come to Edelweiss," mused the princess. As though by common impulse, both of the Graustark women- placed te1r arms about Beverly; "It's bioauSe we. have so much at stake, Beverly, dear," whispered Dag- , mar. '"Forgive me if . I have hurt you." • Of course Beverly sobbed a little in the effort to coneance them that she did not care whom they accused if he proved to be the right man in the end. They left her !Ilene on the' balcony. For an hour after midnight the sat there and dreamed. Every one was ready to turn against Baldest. Even • she had been harsh toward him, for had she not seen him relegated to the most obnoxious' nf duties after promis- ing him a far dibterent life? And now • what Was he thpking of her? His de- scent from favor had followed upon the _disclosures which made plain to , each • the Identity of the other. No doubt be was attributing his degrada- tion in a sense to the fact that she no longer relished his services, having seen a romantic little ideal shattered by his firm assertions. • Of coarse she knew' that General Marlanx was alone instrumental in assigning him to the unpleasant duty he now observed, but how was Baldos to know that she was not the real power behind the Iran Count A light drizzle began to fall; cold and disagreeable. Thete were no stars, no moon. The ground below was black With shadows, but shimmering in spots touched by the feeble park lamps. She • retreated through her window, deter- mine -al to go- to bed. Her rebellious brain, hoWever, refused to him from, her thoughts. • She wondered if he were patrolling the castle grounds in the rain in all that lonely' darkness. Seized by a sudden insairatisn she threw a gossamer about her, grasped an umbrella and ventured out upon the balcony once mere. Guiltily she searcb- ed the night through the fine, drizzling rain. Her ears listened eagerly for the tread which was so well known to her, At last he strode beneeth a lamp not far away, Be looked up, but of course could not see her against4he dark wall. For a long time he stood 'Motionless be-' 'neat] the ligbt. She could not help see- ing that he was dejected, tired, unhap- py. His shoulders drooped, and there was a: general air of listlessness about the figure which had once been ao full of courage and of hope. The post light fell directly upon his face. It was , somber, despondent, Strained. He wore the air of a prisoner. Her heart Went out to him like a -flash. ,The debonala knight of.the black patch was no more. In his place there stood it sullen slave to discipline. • "Baldosi" she called softly, her voice. penatrating the dripping air with the clearness of a bell. He must have been longing for the sound of it, for he start- ed and looked eagerly in her direction. Hiletall form straightened as he passed his hand over his brow. It was but a voice from his dream, he thought. "Aren't you afraid you'll get wet?" ask- ed the same low, sweet voice, with the • suggestion of a laugh behind it Wall long strides he crossed the pavement and stood almost directly beneath her. "Your highness!" he exdahned gen- tly, joyously. aWhat are you doing out there?" "Wondering, Baldos. Wondering what you were •thinking of as you stood under the lamp over there." "I was thinking of your highness," he called up softly. - "No, no!" she protested. "1, too, was wondering—wondering what you were dreaming of as you slept, for you' should be asieep at this hour, yomr highness, instead of stand- ing out there in the rain." • "Baldos," she called down tremulous- • ly, "you don't like this work, do your wit has nothing but darkness in it for me.

Nothing seetned to do me any good Finally I was advised by Dr, Rogers to try 'Fruit -a -fives", and after taking tbent for * few months I feel .1 am completely evell from this horrible complaint.

"You forget that I am on guard," be said, with a laugh. "But you are a wise .counselor. Is the rain so pleasant to you?" • "I, have an. umbrella," the protested. "What are you (Whig?" she cried in alarm. He was coining hand over hand up the trellis wora that inclosed the lower veranda. "I am, coming to a place wbere ri won't get dripping wet," he called softly. There was a dangerous ring in bis voice, and she drefy back in a panic. "You must not!" she cried desperate- ly. "This Is madness! Go down, sir!" "I am happy enough to tly, hut can- not. So I do the next best thinge-I climb to you." His arm was across the stoue railing by this time, and he was panting from the exertion, not tyro feet from wkere she erouched. "Just one minute of heaven before I go bach. to the shadows of earth.- I am happy • again. Marlanx told mc you had Ws- miesed me. I wonder what he holds -in • reserve for me. I knew be lied, but it Is not until now that I rejoice. Come,' you are to shield me from the retie!' "Oh, oh!" she gasped. evervrheimed by his daring passion. "I should die if any one saw you here." 'Yet she spasmodically extended the umbrella so that it covered him and left her out in the drizzle. "And • so should I," responded he softly.- "Listen to me, For hours and hours 1 have been longiag for tne dear old hills in which you found me. • I wanted to crawl out of Etlelweles and loge myself forever in the rocks and, crags. Tonight when you saw me I was trying to say goodby to yap for- ever. I was trying to make up my 'mind to desert I could not end* the new .order of things'. You bad l cast me off. My friends out there were eager .to have me with them. In the city' every one is ready to call me a spy—even you, I thought Life • was black and drear.

I shall nev- er awaken from this dream. You can- not rob me of the joys of dreaming." Under the spell of his passion she drew nearer to him as he clung strong- ly to the rail. Tile roses at her throat came so close that he could bury his face in them. Her hand touched hie • cheek, and he kissed its palm again and again, his wet lips stinging her blood to the tips of her toes. "Go away, please," she ireplored falittly. "Don't you see that you must not stay here—now?" "A rose, my princess—one rose to kiss all through the long night," he wnispered. She could feel hbi eyes burning into her heart. Withtrem- bling, hurried angers she tern loose a rose. He could not seize it with his hands because of the position he held, and she laughed tantalizingly.
