"And be Is being kept from the hos

man In the party. He was sitting with
his back agnlnst a tree, his right arm
In a sling of woven reeds, his black
patch set upon the proper eye.
"You will pardon me for not rising,"
he said cheerily, "but, your highness,
I am much too awkward this morning
to act as befitting a courtier In the
presence of his sovereign. You have
slept well?"
"Too well. 1 fear. Bo well, In fact,
that you have suffered for It. Can't
we start at once?" She wn debating
within herself whether It would be
quite good form to shake bonds with
the reclining hero. In the glare of the
broad daylight he nud his followers
looked more rugged and famished than
before; but they also appeared more
picturesquely romantic.
"When you have entcn of our bumble

"But I'm not a bit hungry."
"It Is very considerate of you, but
equally unrensounble. Yon must eat
before we stnrt." '
"I cau't bear the thought of your suf
fering when we should be hurrying to
a hospital nnd competent surgeons."
He laughed gayly. "Oh. you needn't
laugh. I know It hurts. You say we
cannot reach Ganlook before tomor
row? Well, we cannot stop here a
minute longer thnu we Oh, thank
you!" A rugged servitor had placed
rude bowl of meat and some fruit be
fore her.
"Sit down here, your highness, and
prepare yourself for a long fast. We
lay go nntll nightfall without food.
The game Is scarce, and we dare not
venture fur Into the hills."

"I don't mind," said she. "I wish
you would remove that black pntch."
"Ainu, I must resume the bated dis

"Your your clothes have been mend

glance ut bis long legs. The trousers
bud been rudely sewed up and no baud
ages were visible. "Are you your
legs terribly hurt?"
"They are badly scratched, but not
seriously. The bundiiges are skillfully
pluced." be added, seelug her look of
doubt. "Ituvone is n genius."
"Well. I'll hurry," she said, blush

and his heart thumped with a most
unruly admiration. "You were very,

and her rescuer smiled contentedly.

"You are the most remarkable goat

ed In sincere wonder.
"And you speak the most perfect
English I've ever beard," he replied.
"Oh, do yon really think so? Mis
Grimes used to say I was hopeless.
You know I bad a a tutor," she has
tily explained. "Don't you think It
strange we've met no Axphaln sol
diers?" she went on, changing the sub
ject abruptly.
"We are not yet out of the woods,"
be said.
"That was a purely American aphor

"I bad a tutor," he answered easily.
"You are a very odd person," sh
sighed. "I don't believe that yon art

"If I were not a goat hunter I should
have starved long ago." he said. "Why
do you doubt me?"
"Simply because you treat me on

goat hunters do not forget their sta

"I have much to learn of fhe defer
ence due to queens." be said.
"That's Just like 'The Mikado' or
Tlnnfore,' " she exclaimed. "I be
lieve you are a comic opera brigand or
pirate chieftain, after all."
"I am a lowly outcast," be smiled.
"Well, I've deckled to take you Into
Edelweiss and"
"Pardon me, your highness," be said
firmly. "That cannot be. I shall not
go to Edelweiss."
"But I command you"
"It's very kind of you, but I cannot
enter a hospital not even at Ganlook.
I may as well confess that I am a
hunted man and that the Instructions
are to take me dead or alive."
"Impossible!" she gasped. Involun
tarily shrinking from him.
"I have wronged no man, yet I am
being bunted down as though I were

"It Is n very gentle wound, aud I love
It so that I pray It may never heal."
She looked away smUlenly.
"Tell tne one thing." she s'flld, a mist
coining over her eyes. "You say they
are bunting you to the death. Then
then your fault must be a grievous one.
Have you have you killed a man?"
she uddcdjiusttly. He was silent for
a long time.
"1 fear I have killed more than one
man," he said in low tones. Again she
shrank Into the comer of the coRch.
"History says that your father was a

prowess on the nelu" of Battle." said
he, half laconically.
"Oh." she murmured, remembering
Unit she was naw the daughter of
Yetlve's father. "I see. You are not
a a a mere murderer, then?"
"Xo. I have been a soldier. That Is
all,"
"Th'iuk heaven!" she murmured and
was no longer afraid of him. "Would
would a pardon be of any especial
benefit to you?" she asked, wondering
bow far her Influence might go with the
Princess Yetlve.
"It is beyond your power to help
me." be said gravely. She was silent
but It was the silence of deep reflec
tion. "Vour highness left the castle
ten days ugo." be said, dismissing him
self as a subject for conversation.
"Have you' kept In close communica
tion with Edelweiss during that timer'
"I know nothing of what Is going on
there." she said quite truthfully. She
only knew that she had sent a mes
sage to the Princess Yetlve apprising
her of ber arrival In St Petersburg
and of ber Intention to leave soon for
the Graustark capital.
"Then you do uot know that Mr.
Lorry is still on the Dawsbergen fron
tier In conference with representatives
from Serros. He muy not return for
a week, so Colonel Qulnnox brings
back word."
"It's news to me," murmured Bev
erly. "You do not seem to be alarmed," he
ventured. "Yet I fancy it Is not a dan
gerous mission, although Prince Ga
briel Is ready to buttle at a moment's
notice."
"I have the utmost confidence In Mr.
Lorry." said Beverly, with proper
pride.
"Buron Dangloss. your minister of
police. Is In these mountains watching
the operations of Axphaln scouts and
spies."
"Is he? You are very well posted. It
seems."
' "Moreover, the Axphaiuluns are plan
ning to uttack Ganlook upon the first
signal from their ruler. I do not wish
to alurm your highness, but we may as
well exiect trouble before we come
to the Ganlook gates. You are known
to be In the pass, and I am certain
an effort will be made to take posses
sion of your person."
"They wouldn't dure!" she exclaim
ed. "Uncle Sam would annihilate them
In week."
"Uncle Sam? Is he related to your
Aunt Fanny? I'm afraid he could do
but little against Volga's fighting men,"
be said, with a smile.
"They'd soon find out who Uncle
Sam is If they touch me," she threat
ened grandly. He seemed puzzled, but
was too polite to press ber for expla
nations. "But be Is a long way off
and couldn't do much If we were sud
denly attacked from ambush, could he?
What would they do to me If I were
taken, as you suggest?" She was more
concerned than she appeared to be.
"With you In their hands, Graustark
would be utterly helpless. Volga could
demand Buy thing sbe liked and your
ministry would be forced to submit"
"I really think It would be a capital
Joke ou the Princess Volga." mused
Beverly reflectively. He did not know
what she meant, but regarded ber soft
smile as the cleur title to the serenity
of a princess.
She sunk back und gave herself over
to the complications that vcre likely to
grow out of her Involuntary deception.
The one tlilug which worried her more
than all others was the fear that Yetlve
might not be lu Edelweiss. According
to all reports, she had lately been In St.
Petersburg, und the mere fact that she
wns supposed to lie traveling by coach
was sulliclcut proof that whe was not
at ber capital. Then there was, of
course, the possibility of trouble on the
road with the Axphaln scouts, but Bev
erly enjoyed the optimism of youth and
civilization.
raldos. the goat hunter, was dreami
ly thinking of the beautiful young wo
man at li 1.-4 side and of the queer freak
fortune bad played lu bringing them

could not Imt lament that marriage at

nnd the advances bis bold heart might

bnlr str:i'.'-.led down over bis forehead,
nnd Ills dark eyes the patch bad been

pensive.
"It Is stranj e that you live lu Grau
stark and have not seen Its prineessl
betore." she said, laying groundwork
for Inquiry concerning the nets and
whereabouts of the real princess.
"May it acse your nighties, I have
uot lived long lu Graustark. Besides.
It Is said that half the people of Gan
look have never looked uou your
face."
"I'm not surprised ut that The pro

strange us It may seem to you."
"One of my company fell In with
some of your guards from the Ganlook
garrison day before yesterday. He
learned that you were to reach that
city within forty-eight hours. A large
detachment of men has been sent to
meet you at Luhhot."
"Oh. Indeed," said Beverly, very
much Interested.
"They must liuve been misinformed
as to your route or else your Itussiau
escort decided to take you through by
the lower and more hazardous way.
It was our luck that you came by the
wrong road. Otherwise we should not
have met each other, and the Hon," be
said, smiling reflectively. j

cort would have been made up of loyal
soldiers, well fed. well clad and well
satisfied with themselves at least."
"But no braver.' no truer than my
soldiers of fortune." she sold earnestly.
"By the way. a.e you Informed as to
the state of affairs In Dawsbergen?"
"Scarcely us well ns your highness
must be." be replied.
"The young prince what' his
name?" sbe paused, looking to him for
the name.
"Dantan?"
"Yes, thufs It. What has become of
him? I um terribly Interested In him."
"He Is a fugitive, they say."
"They haven't captured him. then?
Good! I am so glad!"
Baldos exhibited little or no Interest
In the fresh topic.
"It Is strange you should have for
gotten his name." he said weivrlly.
"Ob. I do so many ridiculous things!"
complulued Beverly, remembering who
she was suppased to be. "I have never
seen bim. you know." she added.
"It Is not strange, your highness. He
was educated lu England and hud seen
but little of his own country when he
was called to the throne two years ago.
Yon remember of course that his moth
er was an Englishwoman. Lady Ida
Falconer."
"I I think I base heard some of his
history. A very little, to be sure." sbe
explained lamely.
"Priuce Gabriel, his half brother. Is
the son of Prince Louis III. by his
first wife, who wns a Polish countess.
After ber death, when Gabriel was
two years old, the prince marriod Lady
Ida. Duntan is their son. He has a
sister, Caudace. who Is but nineteen
years of age."
"I am ashamed to confess that you
know so much more about my neigh
bors than I." she said.
"I lived In Dawsbergen for a little
while and was ever Interested In the
doings of royalty. That is a poor man's
privilege, you know."
"Prince Gabriel must be a terrible
man," cried Beverly, ber heart swelling
with tender thoughts of the exiled Dan
tan and bis little sister.
"You have cause to know," said be
shortly, and she was perplexed until
she recalled the stories of Gabriel's
misdemeanor at the court of Edel
welss.
"Is Prince Dantan as handsome as
they say be Is?" she asked.
"It Is entirely a matter of opinion,'
he replied. "I for one do not consider
him at all prepossessing."
The day went on, fatiguing, distress
ing In Its length and Its happenings.
Progress was necessarily slow, the
perils of the road Increasing a the
little cavalcade wound deeper and
deeper Into the wilderness. There were
time when the coach fairly crawled
along the edge of a precipice, a pro
ceeding so hazardous that Beverly
shuddered as If In a chill. Aunt Fanny
slept serenely most of the time, and
Baldos took to dreaming with his eyes
wide open. Contrary to her expecta
tlous, the Axphalulans did 4iot appear,
nnd If there were robbers In the bills
they thought better, thnu to uttack the
valorous looking party. It dawned
