was be asleep? I felt If my knife were
ready and trod water. As I did so I
found bottom under my feet. The foun-
dations of the castle extended some
fifteen inches, making a ledge, and I
stood on it, out of water from my arm-
pits upward. Then I crouched and
peered through the darkness under the
-pipe, where, curving, it left a space.
There was a man in the boat, A rltlo
lay by him. I saw the gleam of the
barrel. Here was the sentinel! Iia sat
very still. I listened. . He breathed,
heavily, regularly, monotonously. By
heaven, he slept! Kneeling on the
shelf, I drew forward under the pipe
till my face was within two feet of his.
He was a big man, I saw. It was Max
Holt, the brother of Johann. My band
•stole to my belt, and I drew out my
knife. Of all the deeds of my life I
love the least to think of this, and
whether it was the act of a man or a
traitor I will not ask. I said to myself,
"It is war, and the king's life is at
stake." And I raised myselffrom be-
neath the pipe and stood up by the
boat, which lay moored by the ledge.
Holding my breath, I marked the spot
gull raised my arm. The great fellow
stirred. Ile opened his eyes—wide,
wider. He gasped in terror at my faco
end clutched at his rifle. I struck home.
.And I heard the chorus of a love song
-from the opposite bank.
Leaving him where be lay, a hnd-
.dlod mass, I turned to "Jacob's Lad -
•der." My time was short. This fel-
. -low's turn of watching might be over
directly, and relief would come. Lean-
ing over the pipe, I examined it from
the point it left the water to the top-
most extremity, where it passed, or
seemed to pass, through the masonry
-of the wail. There was no break in
it, no chink. Dropping on my knees,
I tested the under side. And my
'Beath went quick and fast, for on this
lower side, where the pipe should have
clung close to the masonry, there was
..a gleam of light. That light must
come from the cell of the king! I set
my shoulder against the pipe and ex-
rted my strength. The chink widen-
ed a very, very little, and hastily I
• desisted. I had done enough to show
that the pipe was not fixed in. the
masonry at the lower side. •
Then I heard a voice—a harsh, grat-
ing voice:
"Well, sire, if you have had enough
of my society I will leave you to re-
pose, but I must fasten the little orna-
ments first."
It was Detchard. I caught the Eng-
lish accent in a moment.
"Have you ata'ything to ask, sire, be-
fore we part?"
The king's voice followed. It •was
his, though it was faint and hollow,
different from the merry tones I bad
heard in the glades of the forest.
"Pray my brother," said the king, "to
kiil'me. I am dying by Inches here."
"The duke does not desire your
death, sire—yet," sneered Dett=hard.
"When he does, behold your path to•
beaven!"
The king answered:
"So be it And now, if your orders
allow it, pray leave me."
"May you dream of paradise," said
the ruffian.
The light disappeared. I heard the
bolts of the door run home. And then
.I heard the sobs of the king. Ere was
alone, as he thought. Who dares mock
;at him?
I did not venttfre to speak to him.
-Ole risk of some exclamation escaping

gale now, and there was little danger
of oars being heard. I rowed swiftly
round to where my friends waited. I
had just reached the spot when a loud
whistle sounded over, the moat be-
hind me.
"Hello, Max!" I heard shouted.
I hailed Sept in a low tone. The
rope came down. I tied it round the
corpse and then went up it myself.
"Whistle you, too," I whispered, "for
our men and haul in the line. No talk
now."
They hauled up the body. Just as it
reached the road three men on horse-
back swept round from the front of
the castle. We saw them; but, being
ou foot, we escaped their notice. But
we heard our men coming up with a
shout
"The tdevil, but it's dark!" cried a
ringing voice.
it was young Rupert. A' moment
later shots rang out" Our people had
met. them. I started forward at a run,
Sapt and Fritz following me.'
"Thrust, thrust!!" cried Rupert again,
and a loud groan following told that
lie himself was not behiudhand.
"I'm done, Rupert!" cried a voice.
"'they're three to one. Save yourself!"
I rim on, holding my cudgel in my
band. Suddenly a horse came toward
me. A man was on it, leaning over the
shoulder.
"Are you cooked, too, Krafsteln?" he
cried.
There was no answer.

tire he must die. or surrender.
"At last!" I cried.
"It's the play actor!" cried he, slash-
ing at my cudgel. Ile cut it clean in'
two, and, judging discretion better
than death, I ducked my head and
(I blush to tell) scampered for my
life. The devil was in Rupert Hent -
eau, for he put spurs to his horse, and
I, turning' to look, saw him ride full

fell thick round him like hail. With

have riddled him with balls, but in the

CHAPTr%V.
1:111ITANIA is not In England
or the quarrel between Duke
Michael and myself could not
have gone on, with the re-
markable incidents which, marked It,
without more public notice being di-
rected to It. Duels were frequent
among alI the upper classes, and pri-
vate quarrels between great mea kept
the old habit of spreading to their
friends and dependents. Nevertheless,
after the affray which I have just re-
lated such reports began to circulate
that I felt it necessary to be on. my
guard.
The depth of the gentlemen Involved
could not be hidden from their rela-
tives. 1 issued a stern order declaring
that dueling bad attained unpteeedent-
ed license (the Chaneellkr drew' up the
document for me, and very well be@id
It), and tocbidding it sae in the
PIPs• t.. 1121?.41 tea.
ply to mo, for our ono point of union
was—and it underlay all our differ-
ences and induced an unwilling har-
mony between our actions—that we
could neither of us afford to throw our
cards on the table. Ile, as well as I,
was a "play actor," and, bating one
another, we combined to dupe
p
ublic
opinion. Unfortunately, bowever,the
uece; city for concealment involved the
necessity of delay. The king might
clic in his prison or even be spirited
off somewhere else. It could not be
helped. For a little while I was com-
pened to observe a truce, and my only
consolation was that Flavia most
warmly approved of my edlet against
dueliug, and when I expressed delight
at 'laving won her favor prayed me, if
her favor were any motive to me, to
prohibit the practice altogether.
"Walt till we are married," said I,
smiting.
Not the least peculiar result of the
truce and of the secrecy which dictated
it was that the town of Zenda became
In the daytime—I would not have trust-
ed far to its protection by eight --a sort
of neutral zone, where both parties
could safely go, and I, riding down one
day with Flavin and Sept, had an. en-
counter with an acquaintance 'which
preseuted a ludicrous side, but was at
the same time embarrassing. As I rode
along I met a dignified looking person
('.riving in a two horsed carriage. He
stopped his horses, got out and ap-
proached me, bowing low. I recognized
the head of the Strelsan police.
"Your majesty's ordinance as to du-
eliug is receit'.ng our best attention,"
he assured me.
IE -the best attention involved his
presence in Zenda, I resolved at once
to dispense with it.
"Is that what 'brings you to Zenda,
prefect?" I asked.
"Why, no, sire. I am bere because I
desired to oblige the British nmbassa-
clor."
"What's the British ambassador do-
ing dans cetto galere?" said I care-
lessly.
"A young countryman of his, slre—a
man of some position—Is missing. His
friends have not heard from him for
two mouths, and there is reason to be-
lieve that he was last seen in Zeuda."
Flavin was paying little attention. I
dared not look at Sept.
"What reason?"
"A friend of his in Paris, a certain
M. Featherly, has given us information
which makes it possible that he came
here, and the officials of the railway
recollect his name on some luggage.".
"What was his name?"
"Rassendyll, sire," he answered, and
I saw that the name meant nothing to
him. But, glancing at Flavia, he low-
ered his voice as he went on: "It is
thought that he may have follotved a
lady here. Has your majesty heard of
a certain Mme. de Mauban?"
"Why, yes," said I, my eye involun-
tarily traveling toward the ' castle.
"She arrived in Ruritania about the
same time as this Rassendyll."
I caught the prefect's erauce. He
was regarding me with inquiry writ
large ou his face.-
"Sept,"
ace:"Supt" said I, "I mast speak a word
to the prefect. Will you ride o'.i a few
paces with the princess?" And I add-
ed to the prefect, "Come, sir, what -do
you mean?"
He drew close 2p me, and I bent in
the saddle.
"If he were in love with the lady?"
Ile whispered. "Nothing bas been
heard of him for two months." And
this time it was the eye of the prefect
which traveled toward the castle.
"Yes, the lady is there," I said quiet-
ly. "But I don't suppose Mr. Rassen-
dyll—is that the name?—is"
"The duke," he whispered, "does not
like rivals, sire."
"You're right there," said I, with all
sincerity. "But surely yon hint at a
very grave charge."
He spread his hands out in apology.
I whispered in his ear:
"This is a grave matter. Go back to

"But, sire, if I have a clew here?"
"Go back to Streisau," I repeated.
"Tell the ambassador that you have a
clew, but that you must be left alone
for a. week or two. Meanwhile I'll
charge myself with looking into the
matter."
"Tito ambassador is very pressing,
sire."
"You must quiet him. Come, sir;
you see that if your suspicions are cor-
rect It is an affair in which we must
move with caution. We can have no
scandal. Mind you return tonight"
He promised to obey me, and I rode
on to rejoin my companions, a little
easier in my mind. Inquiries after me
must be stopped at all hazards for a
week or two, and this clever official
had come surprisingly near the truth.
His impression might be useful some
day, but if he acted on it now it might
mean the worst to the king. Heartily
did I curse George Featheriy for not
holding his tongue.
"Well," asked Flavia, "have you fin-
ished your business?"
"Most satisfactorily," said I. "Come,
shall we turn round? We are almost
trenching on my brother's territory."
We were, in fact, at the extreme end
of the town, just where the hill begins
to mount toward the castle. We cast
our eyes up, admiring the massive
beauty of the old walls, and we saw a
cortege+ winding slowly down the hill.
On it, came.
"Let us go back," said Sept.
"I should like to stay," said Flavia,
and I reined my horse beside hers.
We could distinguish the approach-
ing party now. There came first two
mounted servants in black uniforms,
relieved only by a silver badge. These
were followed by a car drawn by four
horses. On It, under a heavy pall, lay
a coffin. Behind It rode a man in plain
black clothes, carrying his hat in his
hand.'. Supt uncovered, and we stood
waiting, Flavia keeping by me and
laying her hand on my arm.
"It is one of the gentlemen killed in
the quarrel, I expect" she said.
I beckoned to a groom.
"Ride and ask whom they escort," I
ordered.
He rode up to the servants, and I
saw him pass on to the gentleman who
rode behind.
"It's Rupert of Elentzau," whispered
Sept.
Rupert it was, and directly after-
ward, waving to the procession to
stand still, Rupert trotted up to me.
He was in a frock coat, tightly but-
toned, and trousers. He eveee an as-
pect of saddbss, and. he bowed with
profound respect. Yet • suddenly he
smiled, and I smiled, too, for old
Sapt's hand lay in his left breast pock --
et. and Rupert and I both guessed
what lay in the hand inside the pocket.
"Your majesty asks whom we es,
cort," said Rupert. "It is my dear
friend Albert of Lauengram."
"Sir;" said I, "no oue regrets the un-
fortunate affair more than I. My ordi-
nance, which I mean to have obeyed,
is witness to it." .
"Poor fellowl" said Flavia softly,
and I saw Itupert's eyes flash at her,
whereat I grew red, for if I had my
way Rupert Ilentzau should not have
defiled her by so much tip a glance.
Yet he did it and dared to let admira-
tion be seen in 1)18 look.
"Your majesty's words are gracious,"
he said. "1 grieve for my friend, yet,
sire, others must soon lie as he lies
now."
"It is it thing we all do well to re-
member, my lord," I rejoined.
• "Even kings, sire," said Rupert In a
moralizing tone, and old Sept swore,
softly by my side.
"It is true," said T. "How fares my
brother, my lord?"
".lie is better, sire,"
"1 am rejoiced."
"IIe hopes soen to leave for Strrelsan,
when his health is secured."
"IIe is only couvaleseent, then?"
"There remain one or two small
troubles," answered the insolent fellow
in the mildest tone in the world.
Igxprertle mX, earnest' hope," viand
"that they may soon cease to
trouble Jilin."
"Your royal highness' wish is hum-
bly my own." said liupert, with a bold
glance that brought a blush to 1+'lavia's
cheek.
I bowed. and Rupert, b -,vin„ lower,
Melte(' his Dowse and signed to his par-
ty to proceed. With a sudden int•
pulse I rode after him. Ile turned
swiftly, fearing that even in tide pres-
ence of the dead and before a lady's
eyes I meant mischief.
"You fought as a brave man the oth-
er night," I said. "Come, you are
young, sir. If you will deliver your
prisoner alive to me you shall come to
no hurt."
IIe looked at me with a mocking
smile, but suddenly he rode r'eal'er to
me.
"I'm unarmed* he said, "and our old
Sapt there could pick me oil' in a
minute."
"I'm not afraid," said L
"No, curse you!" he answered. "Look
here, I made you a proposal from the
duke once."
"I'll hear nothing from Black Mich-
ael," said I.
"Then hear one from mc." IIe low-
ered his voice to a whisper. "Attack.
the castle boldly. Let Sept and Tarlen-
helm lead."
"Go ou," said I.
"Arrange the time with me."
"I have such confidence in you, my
lord!"
"Tut! I'm talking business now.
Supt there and Fritz will fall; Black
Michael will fall"—
"What!"
"Black Michael will fall, like the dog
he is; the prisoner, as you call him,
will go by Jacob's ladder—ah, you
'.now that? Two men will be left—I,
Rupert Hentzau, and you, the king of
Ruritania,"
He paused, and then in a voice that
quivered with eagerness added:
"Isn't that a hand to play ?—a throne
and you princess! And for me, say a
competence and your majesty's grati-
tude."
"Get out of my reach!" said I, and
yet in a moment I began to laugh for
the very audacity of it.
"Would you turn against your mas-
ter?" I asked.
He swore at Michael and said to me
in an almost confidential and appar-
ently friendly tone:
"Ile gets in my way, you know. He's
a jealous brute! Faith, I nearly stuck
a knife Into him last night. He came
most cursedly mal apropos."
My temper was well under control
now. I was learning something.
"A lady?" I asked negligently.
"Aye, and a beauty," he nodded.
"But you've seen her."
"Ali! Was it at a tea party, when
some of your friends got on the wrong
side of the table?" ,.,
"What can you expect of fools dike
Detchard and De Gautet? I wish I'd
been there."
"And the duke interferes?"
"Well," said Rupert meditatively,
"that's hardly a fair way of putting it,
perhaps. I want to interfere."
"And she prefers the duke?"
"Aye, the silly creature! All, well,
you think about my plan," and, with a
bow, he pricked his horse and trotted
after the body of his friend.
I went back to Flavia and Sept, pon-
dering on the strangeness of the man.
Wicked men I have known in plenty,
but Rupert Hentzau remains unique in
my experience. And if there be • an-
other anywhere let him be caught and
hanged out of hand. So say I.
"He's very handsome, isn't he?" said
Flavia.
Well, of course, she didn't know him
as I did, yet I was put out, for I
thought his bold glances would have
made her angry. But my dear Flavia
was a woman, and so—she was not
put out. On the contrary, she thought
young Rupert was very handsome—as,
beyond question, the ruffian was.
"And how sad he looked at his
friend's death!" said she.
"He'll have better reason to be sad
at his own," observed Sapt, with a
grim smile.
As for me, I grew sulky. Unreason-
able it was, perhaps, for -what better

Perique in System.
Tired, languid feelings are the result of
the accumulation of waste products in
the system. On the failure of the liver
and kidneys to remove these impurities
the blood becomes filled with poisonous
substances which instead of aiding the
functions tend to arrest them and give
rise to pains in the limbs, backaches,
heedaches and tired, worn-out feelings.
There remains to be discovered a more
prompt and effective means of enlivening
and invigorating the action of the liver
and kidneys than Dr. Chase's Kidney -
Liver Pills. In fact thie medicine is
unique in its combined' influence on the
liver and kidneys and to this double ac-
tion is attributed its extraordinary suer
cele. in the cure of complicated diseases
of these filtering organs.
Biliousness, headaches, indigestion,
kidney disease and constipation are
promptly and thoroughly cured by Dr-
Chate's Kidney -Liver Pills and the whole.
system is cleansed of the foul impurities
which result in disease and suffering.

AN OPEN LETTER
From W. J. Gage, Esq., Toronto
A Problem of National Importance
Dear Friend
A bright young lawyer at the Muskoka Sanatorium for Consump-
tives some weeks ago, speaking of the burden placed upon him by having
consumption, said :
"One has to lead a life of concealment. If I go away frorn this place
people are afraid of me."
This is the sad lot of those who suffer from this dread disease.
On behalf of the thousands who are sick and will not be received by
other hospitals, I make this appeal for the Muskoka Free Hospital for
Consumptives.
Nearly 10,000 people from every part of Canada aided in this good
work last year, sending its $26,000.
The Trustees have faith that a still Iarger ntmnber will help.
The Physician's offices, throat rooms, etc., up to the present have
occupied rooms in the hospital that rightly belong to patients.
To make better provision for the work, and furnish more accommo-
dation, a new administration building is now under way. A cottage for
the Physician and his young wife had also to bo built.
To provide for this outlay, and to care for patients for the coming
year, we must secure at least $50,000.
The Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives never refused a
patient because of his or her inability to pay. It cares for those whom
other hospitals refuse. It cares for those whom other people are
afraid of.
"I was sick and ye visited me," was Christ's commendation,
Should not a richer benediction be yours if from a loving heart yonr
dollar makes a golden visit to this hospital, bringing health and joy to
those tvhoum other people fear, and whom, in many cases, nobody wants,
Will yon have the luxury of giving ?
Faithfully yours,
Toronto, 1007.
