At that iustnut a half dozen police guards appeared nt the head of the stalra. Upon seeing tho Americans they stopped and turned as if to oppose n foe approaching from tho opposite di rection. Huron Dangloss separated himself from tho white coats above and cnlled to tho men below. In alarm they started for tho street door. lie was with tlieni In nu instant, his usu ally red face changing from white to purple, his anxious eyes darting first toward the group nbovo and then to ward the bewildered Americans. "What's the matter?" demanded Lor ry. ! "There! See!" cried Dnngloss, nnd even as Uo spoke a conflict began at tho head of the stairs, the police, aug mented by a few soldiers, struggling against a howling, enraged mass of Axphalnlans. Dangloss dragged his re luctant charges through a small door, And they found themselves in the bag gage room of the hotel. Despite theii queries he offered no explanation, but rushed them along, passing out of the opposite door, down a short stairway nnd into a side street A half dozen police guards were awaiting them, and before they could catch tho fuiutcst Idea of what It all meant tliey were running with the officers through au alley as if pursued by demons. "Now, what In thunder does this mean?" panted Lorry, attempting to slacken the pace. He and Anguish were just beginning to regain their -senses. "Do not siopl Do not stop!" wheezed Dnngloss. "You must get to a place of safety. We cannot prevent something dreadful happening if you are caught!" "If we are caught!" cried Anguish. "Why, what have we done?" "Unhand mo, Baron Dnngloss. This is nn outrage!" shouted Lorry. "For heaven's sake,-be calm! We ore befriending you. Wheu wo reach the tower, where you will bo safe, I shnll explain," gasped the panting chief of police. A few moments Inter they were iuside the prison gates, angry, 'impa tient, fatigued. "Is this n plan to prevent the duel?" demanded Lorry, turning upon the chief, who had dropped limply Into a chair and was mopping his brow. When he could find his breath enough to an swer, Dangloss did so, and lie might as well have thrown a bombshell at their feet. "There'll be no duel. Prince Lorenz to dead!" "Dead!" gasped the others. "Found dead In his bed, stabbed to the heart!" exclaimed the chief. "Wo have saved you from his friends, gen tlemen, but I must sny that you nre still in a tight place." Ho then related to them tho whole istory. Just before G o'clock Mlzrox had gone to the prince's room to prepare him for flip duel. The door was closed. INDIGESTION'S RECORD "The best remedv I can prescribe for your In digestion, niad.im, is Green s Auirut Mower. I know of several other physician who pre scribe it regularly." Indigestion is making an awful record es n cause of sudden deaths. It is beat In i; heart-failure in its ghastly harvest. You read in the papers daily of appar ently health v and even robust men being suddenly attacked with acute indigestion after enjoving a hearty meal, and of then dying iu inanv cases before a physician could be called in. This should be a warning to you who suffer with regular or periodical attacks of indigestion. If these unfortunate vic tims of acute indigestion had taken a small dose of Green's August Flower be fore or after their meals they would not have fallen a prey to such sudden seizures. August Flower prevents indigestion by creatinggood digestion. It also regulates the liver, purines the blood and tones up the entire svstera in a natural way. t Two sizes! 25c and 75c All druggists.

Tho luiLTltied duke made n hasty ex amination tuiil found that bo was dead. A dagger bad been driven to his heart us be slept, i'be hotel was aroused, the police were called, and the excitement was at its highest pitch when the two friends enme from their room a few minutes after 0. 'But what have wo to do with this dreadful nft'ulr? Why are wo rushed off hero like criminals?" asked Lorry, a fooling of cruel gladness growing out of the knowledge that Lorenz was dead and that the princess was freed from her compact. 'My friend," said Dangloss 6lowly, "you nro accused of tho murder." Lorry was too much stunned to be angry, too wealc to protest. For some moments nfter tho blow fell he and Anguish were speechless. Then enme tho protestations, the rngo and the threats, through all of which Danglosa sat calmly. Finally ho sought to quiet them, partially succeeding. "Mr. 'Lorry, the evidence Is very strong against you, but you shall not be unjustly treated. You are not a prisoner as yet In Graustark a man who Is accused of murder and who wae not seen by any one to commit the crime cannot be legally arrested until an accuser snail go before the princess, who is also high priestess, and swear on his life that he knows the guilty man. The man who so accuses agrees to forfeit his own life in case the other Is proved innocent If you are to be charged with tho murder of the prince, some one must go before the princess and take oath his life against yours. I am holding you here, sir, because it Is tho only place In which you are safe. Lorenz's friends would have torn you to pieces hud we not found you first You are not prisoners, and you may de part if you think it wise." 'But how can they accuse me? I ; knew nothing of the murder until I ! reached this place," cried Lorry, stop- plug short in 'his restless walk before the little baron. "So you say, but" "If you nccuso me, I'll kill you!" whispered Lorry, holding himself tense. Anguish caught and held him. i "Be calm, sir," cautioned Danglos3. ! "I may have my views, but I nm not ' willing to take oath before her royal : highness. Listen: You wore heard to sny you would kill him. You began the fight You wore the aggressor, and there is no one else on earth, it is said, who could have wished to murder him. The man who did the stabbing en tired the room through tho hall door and left by tho same. There arc drops of blood in the carpet, lending, direct to your door. On your knob are the prints of bloody fingers where you or some one else placed his bund in opening tho door. It was this discov ery, made by me and my men, that fully convinced tho enraged friends of the dead prince thnt you were guilty. When we opened the door, you were gone. Then came the search, the fight at the head of the stairs and the race to the prison. The reason I saved you from that mob should bo plain to you. I love my princess, and I do not for get that you risked your life, each of you, to protect her. I have done nil that I can, gentlemen, to protect you iii return. It menus death to you if you fall Into tho hands of his followers just now. A few hours will cool them off no doubt, but now now it would be madness to face them. I know not what they , have done to my men at the hotel perhaps butchered them." There was anxiety in Dangloss voice, and there was honesty In his keen old eyes. Ills charges now saw the situation dourly and apologized warmly for the words they bad ut tered under the pressure of somewhat extenuating circumstances. They ex pressed a willingness to remain Iu the prison until tho excitement abated or until some one swore his life ngninst the supposed murderer. They were virtually prisoners, and they knew it well. Furthermore, they could see that Baron Dangloss believed Lorry guilty of the murder. Protestations of inno cence had been politely received and politely disregarded. "Do you expect one of bis friends to take the oath?" asked Lorry. "Yes; It is sure to come." "But you will not do so yourself?" "No." "I thank you, captain, for I see that you believe me guilty." "I do not say you are guilty, remem ber, but I will say that If you did mur der Trince Lorenz you have made the people of Graustnrk rejoice from the bottoms of their hearts, and you will be eulogized from one end of the land to the other." "Hanged and eulogized," said Lorry erlmly. (CONTINUED tN NEXT ISSUE) OAfilTOniAi Ami tU The Kind You Harc Always BoagM 94 - 96 Ohio Street, Chicago, Illinois. .... FINANCIERS IN CONFERENCE.
