light fell upon the face of Beverly Cal-
houn. "Don't speak. Follow me as
quickly as you can."
He grasped her arm, bringing her to
a standstill.

pered in her ear. "Do you think I will

• "It doesn't make any difference," she
argued. "You have to go. I want you

"You mean that you hate me," be
groaned.
"I wouldn't be so Unkind as to say
that," she fluttered. "I don't know'
who you are. Come, we can't delay a'
minute. I have a key to the gate at
the other end of the passage, and I
know where the secret panel \Is facet-
ed. Hush! It doesn't matter where I
" got the key. See! See how easy it is!"
He felt her tense little fingers in the
darkness searching for his. Their hands
were Icy cold when the clasp came. To-
gether they stood in a niche of the wall
near the chancel rail., It was dark, and
.a 'cold draft of air blew acrose their
faces. Ile could not see, but there was
proof enough that she had opened tbe
secret panel in the wall and that the
damp. chill air came from the under-
ground passage whieh -le'd to a point
outside the city wails.
"You go first," she whispered nerv-
ously. "I'm afraid. There is a lantern
on the steps, and I have some matches.
We'll light It as soon as— Oh, what
was that?"
"Don't be frightened," he said. "I
think it was a rat."
"Good gracious!" she gasped. "I
wouldn't go in there for the world."
"Do you mean to say that you intend-
ed to do so?" he asked eagerly.
"Certainly. Some one has to return
the key to the outer gate. Oh, • I , sup-
pose have t� go in. You'll keep
theta off, won't you?" plaintively. He
was sniffing in the darkness, thinking
what a dear, whimsical thing sbe was.
"With my life,"ehe said softly.
"They're ten times worse than lions."
she announced.
"You must not forget that you re-
turn alone,"- he said triumphantly.
"But I'll have the lantern going full
-blast," she said and then allowed him
to lead her into the uarrow passage-
way. She closed the panel and then
felt about with her foot until it located
the lantern. In a minute they had a
light. "Now, don't be afraid," ithe said
encouragingly. He laughed in pure de-
light. She misunderstood his mirth and
was conscious of a new and an almost
unendurable pang. He was filled with
exhilaration over the prospect of es-
cape! Somehow she felt an impulse to
throw her arms about him and drag
bian back into the chapel in spite of the
ghost of the game warden's daughter.
"What is to prevent me from taking
you with me?" be said intensely, a
mighty longing in his breast. She
laughed, but drew back uneasily.
"And live unhappily ever after-
ward?" said she. "Oh, dear me! Isn't
this a funny proceeding? Just think
of me, Beverly Calhoun, being mixed
up in schemes and plots and intrigues
and all that! It seems like a great
big dream. And that reminds me—
you will find a rain coat at the foot a
the steps. I couldn't get other clothee
for you, so yoe'll have to wear the
uniform. There's a stiff hat of Mr.
Lorry's also. You've no idea bow dies

They're so damp and all that. Hove
far is it, do you suppose, to the (loos

simply to keep up her courage and to
make her fairest show of composure.
"It's a little more than 300 yarde,"
he replied. They were advancing
through. the low, narrow stone lined
passage. She steadfastly ignored the -
hand he held back for #apport. It was
not a pleasant place, this underground
way to the outside world. The walle
were damp and moldy; the odor of the
rank earth assailed the nostrils; the
air was chill and deathlike. _
"How do you know?" she demanded
quickly.
"I have traversed the passage be-
fore, Miss Calhoun," be replied. She
stopped like one paralyzed, her eyes
wide and incredulous. "Franz was my
guide from the outer gate into the
chapel. It is easy enough to get out-
side the walls, but extremely difficult
to return," be went on easily. •
"You. mean to say that you have
been in and out by way of this pas-
sage? Then, what was your object,
sir?" she demanded sternly.
"My desire to communicate with
friends who could not enter the city.
Will it interest you if I say that the
particular object of ray .concern was
a young woman?"
She gasped and was stubbornly si-
lent for a long time. Bitter resentment
filled her soul, bitter disappointment in
this young man. "A young woman!"
he had -said, oh, so insolently: 'There
could be but one inference, one conclu-

were no words spoken until after they
had reached the little door in the wail.

were casks and chests on 'the floor, evi-

case of an emergency.

CHAPTER XXIV.
HILE Baidos was standing
guard in the long, lofty hall-
way the Iron Count was busy
with :the machinations which
were calculated to result in a startling
upheaval with the break of a new day..
He prepared ,and swore to the charges
preferred !Against Baldas. They were
dispatched to the princess for her
perusal the morning. Then he set
about preparing theevilest accusations
against Beverly Calhoun. In his own
'handwriting and over .his own signa-
ture he charged her with complicity an
the betreyea of Granstark, influenced
by the desires of the lover who Maki-.
queraded as her Protege. At some
length he dwelt upon the well laid plot
of the spy and his accomplice. He told
of their secret meetings, their outrages
against the dignity of the court and
their unmistakable animosity toward
Graustarle For each and every count
in his vicious indictment against the
girl he professed to have absolute
proof by means of more than one
reputable witness.
It was not thcedesign. of Marlanx to
present this document to tbe princess
and her cabinet. 'lle knew full well
that it would meet the fate it deserved.
It was intended fotethe eyes of Beverly
cathoun alone. By means of the vile
accusations, false though they were, he
hoped to terrorize her into submission.
He longed to possess this lithe, beauti-
ful creature from over the sea. In all
his life he had not hungered: for any-
thing as he nOw craved Beverly Cal-
houn. He saw that his position in the
army was rendered insecure by tbe
events of the last day. A bold, vicious
Stroke was his only means for securing
the prize he longed for more than he
longed for honor and fame.
Restless and. enraged, consumed by
jealousy and fear, he hung about the
castle grounds long after be had, drawn
the diabolical charges. He knew that
Baidos was inside the castle, favored,
while he, a noble of the realra, was rele-
gated to ignominy an.d the promise of
degradation. Encamped outside the
city walls the army lay without a
leader. pach hour saw the numbers
augmented by the arrival of reserves
from the districts of the principality.
His place was out there -with the staff,
yet he could. not drag himself away.
from the charmed circle in which his
prey was sleeping. Morose and grim
he an,xiously paced. to and fro in an
obscure corner. of the grounds.
"What keeps the scoundrel?" he said
to bimself angrily.
Presently a villainous looking man,
dressed in the uniform of the guards,
stealthily approached. "I missed bine
general, but I will get him the isext
time," growled. the man,
"Curse you for a fool!" hissed Mar-

The man reported that Baidos had
been seen on. the balcony alone, evi-

Marlaux ground his teeth and his

eyes never left the euchanted balcony.
At last he saw the man. Baldos
came from the door at the end of the
balcony, paced the full length in the
moonlight; paused for a moment near

d sappeared through the same door
that had afforded him egress.

FERROL is an Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, and. if
it were nothing more it woUld take front rank because
of the quality, and quantity of the oil used and the
scientific method of preparation. But FERROL has
special claims which take it out of the ordinary class
of Emulsion altogether. For instance:
FERROL combines Iron and Phosphorus with the
oil, and no other emulsion contains these ingredients,
although it is well known that they should always be
administered together, as each is the .complement
the other.
FERROL is so scientifically prepared that the first
processes of digestion are actually performed in the
process of manufacture, a,nd the emulsion is ready
for instant absorption into tile blood. This is of the
utmost itnportance to persons with delicate stomachs.
rol
unlike other emuls,ions, is positively palatable, and,
not one in a thousand find any difficulty in taking it.
FERROL contains the three essentials of life, viz.;
Fat, Iron, and Phosphorus—they have never been
combined before.
FERROL holds the record for increasing the weight.
FERROL has received more endorsations from
medical men than any other preparation on the
market.
FERROL will cure any case of Consumption that is
