“He proposes to accept the humilia

“Why. this Is a gallant king! Pouf!

tho words as with the breath of spring.
The chancellor's shoulders drooped a
trifle more, and Ills hand closed down
over the letter.
“There will be no war,” resumed her
highness. “I know my father. Our
wills may clash, but In this Instance
mine shall be the stronger.”
"But this Is not the end.”

"You may go now,” she said, “for I

“Observe ‘My Illustrious and indus

without mirth. "Our king, you will
see, has n graceful style.” He gained
his feet. He was young, pleasant of

“You are Lieutenant von Itaden-

“Thanks, your excellency!"
“You are in the royal Household, the
regent's invisible arm. I have heard a

“Again, thanks. Now, the regent has

“I will."

For half an hour tne ambassador re

he was in the chancellor’s cabinet.
“You seem out of health, baron,”
was the chancellor’s greeting.
“I am indeed that, count. I received
