General Braze, with a few of his
men, bloody and heartsick, was the
last of the little army to reach safety
in the castle grounds.
The fortress, with all guns, stores and
ammunition, was in the bands of the
Iron Count and iris cohorts.
Baron Daugloas had been taken pris
oner with a whole platoon of lighting
constables. This was the last appall
ing bit of news to reach the horrified,
disorganized forces in the castle
grounds.
A wise as well ns n cruel man was
Marlanx. He lost no time in issuing
a manifesto to the stunned, demoral
ized citizens of Edelweiss. Scores of
criers went through tin* streets during
the long, wretched afternoon, aunounc-

The cells ami ri’nngeons in the great
old tower were now occupied by
braised, defeated officers of the law.
Baron .lasto Danglcss. crushed in
spirit and broken of bo«ly. paced tlie
blackest and narrowest cell of them
all.
At 0 o'clock on Sunday morning a
small group of people gathered In the
square. A meeting was soon in prog
ress. A goods box stood over against
the very spot on which Olga Plata

guing tin1 constantly growing crowd,
in the group might have been seen

In the midst of Iris harangue tlie
hand of William Spantz was arrestisi
III one of Its most emphatic gestures.
Peter Brutus was approaching at the
head of a group of aliens, all armed.
“One moment!" called out Peter
Brutus, lifting his hand Imperatively.
Tin1 speaker «•eased Iris mouthlngs.
"Count Marlanx desires the immediate

Ten minutes Inter every member of
the committee of ten, except Peter

"Stive him! Save Truxton King!”
From the sidewalks swarmed well
armed hordes of desperadoes, firing i
wildly into the ranks of devoted
guardsfnen. Truxton fled from the
danger zone as fast as his strained
ankle would permit him. Bullets were
striking all about hiui.
Some one was shouting his name tie

Mr. Hobbs, pale ns a ghost, his cap
gone, his clothing torn, was panting at
his elbow.
Soldiers came riding up from be

dles into the throng of cutthroats, led
by tlie grim old man with the bloody
saber, in the «•enter of the troop there
was a flying carriage The Duke of
Terse was lying kick in the Beat, his
face like that of a dead man.
“The prince is safe!" shouted King
joyously. "They’ll make it! Thank
God!”
Colonel Quinnox turned In Iris sad

Even as King rushed out Into the
roadway a horseman galloped up from

He waited to see the effect of this
brutal announcement.

At the castle the deepest gloom pre
vailed. It was like a nightmare to
the belcaguereil liousehold, a dream
from which there seemed to be no
awakening. Colonel Quinnox as com
mander of the royal guard ruled su- i
preme. General Braze tore off iris
own epaulets and presente«! himself
to Quinnox as a soldier of the file.
Prince Robin, «pilte recoverod from
Iris fright, douned the uniform of a
colonel of the royal drag«H>ns. buckled
on his jeweled sword and. witli boyish
zeal, demanded at a council of war
Colonel Qulnnox's reasons for not go

"Your highness." said th«» colonel
bitterly, "the real army k outside the

At night two attempts were made
by Hadrian and another subaltern to
leave the castl«* to reach Tullis, but
both sorties proved failures. A day
