Sbo bad been nelrou on ttio night f tb ball as ehe Btnrtcd across her father's garden, and escape had be come possible only through tho aid of Josephs and tho girl's father. Farm ers wives toM them of the newly .formed army and of Its leaders. She determined to make her way to tho camp of thoso who would destroy her husband, eager to give them any as sistance that her own knowledge of Jlnrlanx's plans might provide. One bit of information she gave created no end of consternation among the would be deliverers of the city. It had the effect of making them all the jnore resolute; tho absolute necessity "tar Immediately regaining control In the' city was forced upon them. She told them that Count Maria nx had lately received word that the Grand Sate Panlus was likely to intervene before many days, acting on his own initiative. In the belief that bo could "force the government of G rati stark to sraut the railway privileges so much desired by his country. Marians re alized that he would have to forestall the wily grand duke. If he were in Absolute control of the Graustark gov ernment when the Russian appeared be, and he alone, would be in a posi tion to deal with the situation. The grand duke may send a large "Store of men across tho border at any time," said the countess in conclusion. "Count MarlaQx is sure to make a de cisive assault as soon as ho hears that the movement has begun. Ho had lwpes of starring them out, thus sav ing the castle from destruction, but as that seems unlikely his sbelU will moos begin to rain in earnest upon the car old pile." Truxton King was listening with "wide open ears. As she finished this reary prediction he silently arose to bib feet and, without a word to any eno, stalked off in the darkness. Tul 13a looked after him and shook his head adly. "I'll be happy on that fellow's ac count when daybreak cornea and we re really at It." he said to Prince Dantan, who knew something of King's 'miction. But Truxton King was not there at daybreak. When he strode out of the camp that night he left it behind for ever. Tho' unfortunato lack of means to communicate with tho occupants of the castle had been tho source of great distress to Captain Haas. If the de fenders could be informed as to the exact hour of the assault from the out side tbey could do much toward its Qccdy success by making a fierce sor tie from behind their own walls. A Quick dash from tho castle grounds "would serve to draw Marlanx's atten tion in that direction, diminishing the force that he would send to check the $RtHght at the gates. ' J Truxton King had all this in mind as ho swung off down the mountain road, bavins stolen past the sentries "with comparative case. Tho danger from Marlanx's scouts outsido the city Was not great; they had been scattered mud beaten by Unas recruiting par tics, lie stood In more danger from thetaien ho, would help, they who were tho .watchful defenders of the castle. It must have Iwen 2 o'clock when he crossed the king's highway, a mile or more above tho northern gatetf, and struck down Into the same thick un dergrowth that, hud protected him and Hobl3 on a memorable nlgbt not long before. Af 3 o'clock a dripping figure threw -ap his hands obligingly and laughed , "with exultation wheu confronted by a startled guurdBinan Insldo the castle trails and not more than fifty yards from tho wntor gate. Tie shouted a frlcuidly cry as ho advanced toward tho num. calling out hla own name. Ten minutes lator bo wns standing in tho presence of tho haggard, nervo racked Qulnnox, pouring into' his as tonished ears the news of the coming attack. Tho colonel lost no time in routing out tho sleeping guardsmen anq reserves una in sending com mantis to thoso already on duty at tho gates. When the euh peeped over the lofty bills be saw Insldo the gates a rest less; waiting company of dragoons ready for the command to ride forth. Meantime King had crossed tho gnwnds with Colonel Qulnnox on the way;' to the castle, no was amazed, at moat stupefied, by the devastation that lrkdy had been wrought. A dozen or man balls bad crashed Into the facado, lavralng fissures, gigantic boles, mark ed the path of the ugly messengers treat Marlanx. Nearly all of the wln 4gewg had been wrecked by riflemen who7hot from tho roofs of palaces In sdf' about the . avenue. Two of the mailer minarets were in ruins, A hug pillar in the lower balcony was tout, The terrace bad been plowed up hf ftfclugto rlcochettlng shell. MOrcM Godl" fspd Kins;.

And now It Is today! This shall bo our day, thank uixir Attendants sped to tho tower, shout ing the battle tidings. The prince came tumbling down tho narrow Iron stairs from his room above, shouting Joyously to Truxton King. No man was ever so welcome. He was besieged with ouestlons, hand shakings and praises. Even tho Duke of Perse, hobbling on crutches, had a kindly greeting for him. Tears stream ed down the old man's checks wheu King told him of his daughter s safe arrival In the friendly -camp. Hut Just now Truxton was staring at the narrow staircase. Vos Engo and Loralne were descending slowly. The former was white and evidently very weak. He leaned on tho girl for support. Count Ilalfout offered the eiplann tion. "Vos Engo was shot last week through the shoulder. He Is too bravo to give up, as you may see. It hap pened on the terrace. There was an unexpected fusillade from the house tops. Eric placed himself between the marksmen and Miss Tullls. A bullet that might have killed her Instantly struck him In the shoulder. King never forgot the look In Lo- rnlue's eyes as she came down thv steps. Joy nnd anguish seemed to combine themselves In that long, in tense look. . She gave him her hands. The look In her tired eyes went straight to his heart Vos Engo drew back, his face set in a frown of displeasure. "Mr brother?" she asked, without taking her gaze from his eyes. "He Is well. He will see you today, "And you, Truxtou?" was bar next question, low and quavering. "Unharmed and unchanged, Lo ralne.' he said softly. "Tell me, did Vos Engo stand between you .and the Dro from the" "Yes, Truxton," sho said, dropping her eyes as If In deep pain. "And you have not broken your promise to him 5" "No; nor havo I broken" my prom ises to you." Ho is a bravo man. I can't help saying it" said the Vmerican, d e o p lines suddenly ap- p o a rl n g in his face. Swiftly he turned to Vos En go, extending his hand. "My hand, sir, to a brave man!" Vos Engo stared at him for a moment and then turned away, lgnorifig the friendly hand. A hot flush mounted to Loralne's brow. Voa Engo's response was el short, bit ter laugh. (To Be Continued.
