Truxton fared forth into the streets that night with a greater zest in life than lie had ever known before. A man with a limp cigarette between his lips was never far from the side of the American—a man who had stopped to pass the time of day with William Spantz and who from that hour was not to let the young man out of tits sight until another relieved him of the task. CHAPTER IV. TRUXTON TRESPASSES. T HEI1E was a sparkle in King's eyes as he struck out aerosa town after breakfast the next morning. He burst iu upon Mr. Ilobbs at Cook's. “Say. Hobbs, how about the castle today—in an hour, say? Can you take a party of one rubbernecking this morning? 1 want you to get me into the castle grounds today and show me where the duchesses dawdle and the couutosses cavort.” "Of course, sir, you understand there arc certain parts of the park not open to the public. The grotto and the play grounds and the Basin of Venus”— "i'll not trespass, so don't fidget. Hobbs. I’ll be here for you at 1(1." Truxton hurried to the square and c.crors It to the shop of the armorer, not forgetting, however, to look about la some anxiety, for the excellent Ibiugh'ss, who might, for all he knew, be snooping in the neighborhood. Spantz was at the rear of the shop tnlking to a customer. The girl was be hind the counter, dressed for t be street. She came quickly out to him. a dis turbed expression in tier face. As Im doffed his hat the smile left his lips, lie saw that she had been weeping. "You iiins! not come here. Mr. King,” she said hurriedly in low tones. "Take ; our broadsword ibis morning, and I lease, for m.v sake, do not come again. 1 I may not explain why I am asking you to do tills." "Just a minute, please." he interrupt ed. “I've heard your story from Baron Dangfoss. Are you in trouble? Do .■•on need friends. Miss Platanova?" "The baron has told you all about me?” She smiled sadly. “Alas, he has only told you what lie knows. But It should lie sullh'lent. There Is uo place in my I life for you or any one else. There I uever can be. Do you question me? ' I can say no more. Now I must be gone, 1—1 have warn- ed you. Do not come again.' She slipped into the street nnd was Klug stood in the doorway, gone, looking after her. a puzzled gleam in his eyes, old Spantz was coming up from the rear, followed by his cus- tomer. "Hello. Mr. Spantz! Good morning. I'm here for the sword.” The old man glared nt him In unntls- takable displeasure. Truxton began counting out his money. The custom er. n swarthy fellow, passed out of the door, turning to glance intently nt the young lima. A meaning look and a sly nod passed be tween him and Spantz.
