The women of Grau stark looked Involuntarily at Beverly, ffho sat cold and voiceless, staring at face oi tne guura. Mie anew wnai expected of her. A word from her and lie would understand that he had not tasted of the unattainable. In one lirlef moment she saw that she had de 'IboniU'ly led him on, that she had on-rournj-'ed him, that she actually had proffered hlra the cup from which he Ul begun to sip the bitterness. Pride and love were waging a conflict In this hapless soutbern girl's heart. But she ffa9 silent, sue couiu not say xne word. I think I know what you mean, Bal j0Sl" said Yetlve, seeing that Beverly rould not Intervene. "We ure sorry. So oue trnsts to your honor more than i do. My husband believes lu you. I will confess that you are to be arrested at a spy tomorrow. Tonight you are W serve as a guard In the castle. This should prove to you that I have un bounded faith In you. Moreover, I be lieve In you to the extent that I should Mt be afraid to trust you If you were to go out Into the world with every aecret which we possess. You came iere under a peculiar stress of cir cumstances, not wholly of your own volition. Believe me, I am your Mend." "I shall revere your highness forever for those words," said he simply. Ills eyes went hungrily to Beverly's avert ed face and then assumed a careless gleam which Indicated that be had re ligned himself to the Inevitable. "I am constrained 'to ask you oue question, sir," went on the princess. "Tou are not the common goat hunter you assume. Will you tell me In con fidence who you really are?" The oth ers held their breath. He hesitated for a moment. "Will It suffice If I say that I am an unfortunate friend' and advocate of Prince Dantan? I have risked every thing for his sake, and I fear I have lost everything. I have failed to be of service to him, but through no fault of mine. Fate has been against me." "You are Chrlstobal!" cried Dagmar easterly. He gave her a startled glance, but offered no denial. Beverly's face was a study. If he were Chrlstobal, then what of the game warden's daughter? "We shall question you no further," said Yetlve. "You enlisted to serve Miss Calhoun. It Is for her to com mand you while you are here. May God be with you to the end. Miss Cal houn, will you tell Mm what his du ties are for tonight? Come, my dear." letlve nnd Dagmar walked slowly from the room, leaving Beverly and her guard alone. . "I am at your service, Miss Calhoun," be said easily. Ills apparent Indiffer ence stung her Into womanly revolt. "I was a fool last night," she said ab ruptly. "No; 1 was the fool. I have been the fool from the beginning. You shall not blame yourself, for I do not blame you. It has been a sweet comedy, a summer pastime. Forget what I may have said to you last night, forget what my eyes may have said for weeks ami weeks." 'I shall never forget," she said. "You deserve the best In the world. Would that I could give it to you. You have braved many dangers for my sake. I shall not forget. Io you know thnt we were watched last night?" "Wat. hed?" he cried Incredulously. "Oh. fool that I nm! I might have snmvn. And I have subjected you to to-ilnn't tell me that harsh things have Wu said to you. Miss Calhoun'." He was deeply disturbed. "iN iuMai Marians saw you. He has threatened me. Baldos" "I will km him! What do I care for the consequences? He shall pay dearly for"- "Stop: Where are you going? You are to remain here, sir. and take your commands from me. I don't want you to kill hiin. They'd hang you. or sonie ttltia Just as bad. He's going to be punched, never fear!" Baldos smiled In spiti. of his dismay. It was Impos lbie to face this confident champion lo i'ttl.'oats without catching her en thusiasm. "What have you dono with -with that rose?" she asked suddenly, Bushing and diffident. Her eyes glis tened with embarrassment. "It lies next my heart. I love It," he Mid bravely. "1 think I'll command you to return It to me," vaguely. "A command to be disobeyed. It Is to exchange for my feather," he smiled Confidently. "Well, of course. If you are going to he mean about Now. let me see," she aid confusedly, "what are your duties 'or tonight? You are to stand guard 10 the corridor. Once In awhile you will out upon the balcony and take a look. You see, I am afraid of some one. Oh. Baldos, what's the use of my trifling like this? You are to escape from Edelweiss tonight That is the Me plan-the whole Idea In t nut "ell. Don't look like that Don't you M to go?" Horn she was trembling mun with excitement I do not want to leave you," he cried eagerly. "It would be cowardly. Marlanx would understand that too gave aid and sanction. You would be left to face the charges he would make Don t you see. Beverly? You would be Implicated: you would be accused. Why did you not let me kill him? No I will not go!" Neither noticed the name by which he had called her 'But I Insist!" she erled weakly. lou must go away from me I-I command you to" "Is it because you want to drive me out of your life forever?" he demand ed, sudden understanding coming to him. "Don't put It that way," she mur mured. "Is It because you care for me that you want me to go?" he Insisted, draw ing near. "Is it because you feur the love I bear for you?" "Love! You don't really Stop! Remember where you are, sir! You must not go on with it, Baldos. Don't come a step nearer. Do go tonight! It is for the best. I have been awfully wicked In letting It run on as it has. Forgive me; please forgive me," she plended. lie drew back, pale and hurt. A great dignity settled upon his face. His dark eyes crushed her with their quiet scorn. "I understand. Miss Calhoun. The play is over. You will find the luckless vagabond a gentleman, after all. You ask me to desert the cause I serve. That Is enough. I shall go tonight." The girl was near to surrender. Had It not been for the persistent fear that her proud old father might suffer from her willfulness, she would have thrown down the barrier and risked everything in the choice. Her heart was crying out hungrily for the love of this tali, mysterious soldier of fortune. "It Is best," she murmured finally. Later on she was to know the meaning of the peculiar smile be gave her. "I go because you dismiss me, not because I fear an enemy. If you choose to remember me at all, be Just enough to believe that I am not a shameless coward." "You are brave and true and good, and I am a miserable, deceitful wretch," she lamented. "You will seek Ravone and the others?" "Yes; they are my friends. They love my poverty. And now, may it please your highness, when am I to go forth, and In what garb? I should no longer wear the honest uniform of a Oraustark guard." "Leave it to me. Everything shall be arranged. You will be discreet? No one Is to know that I am your" "Rest assured. Miss Calhoun. I have a close mouth." And he smiled con temptuously. "I agree with you," said she regret fully. "You know bow to hold your tongue." He laughed harshly. "For once In a way will you answer a ques tion r "I will not promise." "You say that you are Dantan's friend. Is it true that he Is to marry the daughter of the Duke of Mats, Countess Iolanda?" "It has been so reported." "Is she beautiful?" "Y'es; exceedingly." "But Is he to marry her?" she Insist ed, she knew not why. "How should I know, your high ness?" "If you call me 'your highness' agnln I'll despise you!" she flared miserably. "Another question: Is It true that the young Duke Chrlstobal fled because his father objected to his marriage with a game warden's daughter?" "I have never heard so," with a touch of hauteur. "Does he know that the girl Is dead?" she asked cruelly. Baldos did not an swer for a long time. He stared at her steadily, his eyes expressing no emo tion from which she could Judge him. "I think he Is Ignorant of. that ca lamity, Miss Calhoun," he said. "With your permission I shall withdraw. There Is nothing to be gained by de lay." It was such a palpable affront that she shrank within herself and could have cried. Without answering, she walked un steadily to the window and looked out Into the night. A mist came Into ber eyes. For many minutes she remained there, striving to regain control of her emotions. All this time she knew that he was standing Just where she bad left him, like a statue, awaiting her command. At last she faced him reso lutely. "You will receive Instructions as to your duties here from the guard at the stnlrs. When you hear the hall clock strike the hour of 2 In the morn ing go Into the chapel, but do not let any one see you or suspect. You know where It Is. The door will be un locked." "Am I not to see you again?" he ask ed, and she did not think him properly depressed. "Yes," she answered after a pause that seemed like an eternity, and he went quietly, silently away. CU AFTER XXIV. f ' "Villi LE Baldos was stnndlng llV guard m lo"- l,)f,' ua"' ill war the Iron Count was busy j ' 1 1 Wth the machination which were calculated to result in a startling upheaval with the break of a new day. He prepared nnd swore to the charges preferred against Baldos. They were dispatched to the princess for ber perusal In the morning. Then be set about preparing the vilest accusations against Beverly Calhoun. In his on handwriting and over his own s gna ture he charged her with complicity In the betrayal of Oraustark. Influenced by the desires of the lover who mas queraded as her protege. At some length be dwelt upon the well laid plot OXJU.!, wniinTd of the spy and his accomplice. He iold of their secret meetings, their outrages against the dignity of the court and their unmistakable animosity toward Graustark. For each and every count In his vicious Indictment -against the girl he professed to have absolute proof by means of more than one reputnble witness. It was not the design of Marlanx to present this document to the princess and her cabinet. He knew full well that It would meet thfate It deserved. ' was Intended for the eyes of Beverly Calhouu alone. By means of the vile accusations, false though they were, be hoped to terrorize her Into submission. He longed to possess this lithe, beauti ful creature from over the sen. In all his life he bad, not hungered for any thing as he now craved Beverly Cal houn. He saw that his position in the army was rendered insecure by the events of the last day. A bold, vicious stroke was his only means for securing the prize he longed for more than he longed for honor and fame. Restless and enraged, consumed by Jealousy and fear, he hung about the castle grounds long after he had drawn the diabolical charges. Ho knew that r.aMos was Inside the castle, favored, c ! i:c lie. a noble of the realm, wasrele-r'.T-.? to Ignominy nnd the promise of "::t;-in.

Morose and grim lie ruxiously paced to nnd fro In an obscure corner of the grounds. "What keeps the scoundrel?" he said to himself angrily. Presently a villainous, looking man, dressed In the uniform of the guards, stealthily approached. "I missed him, general, but I will get him the next time," growled the man. "Curse you for a fool!" hissed Mar lanx through bis teeth. As another hireling came up, "What have you got to say?" The man reported that Baldos had been seen on the balcony alone, evi dently on watch. Marlanx ground bis teeth and his blood stormed his reason. "The Job must be done tonight You have your instructions. Capture him If possible; but. If necessary, kill blm. You know your fate If you fail." Marlanx actual ly grinned at the thought of the punish ment he wwuld mete out to them. "Now be off!" Itnshly he made his way to the castle front. A bright moon cast Its mellow glow over the mnss of stone outlined against the western sky. For an hour he glowered in the shade of the trees, giving but slight heed to the guards who passed from time to time. His eyes never left the enchanted balcony. At lust he saw the man. Baldos came from the door at the end of the balcony, paced the full length lu the moonlight, paused for a moment uear Beverly Calhoun's window and then disappeared through the same door that hud afforded him egress. Inside the dark castle the clock at the end of the hull melodiously boomed the hour of '2. Dead quiet followed the soft echoes of the gong. A tall tigure stealthily opened the door to Yetlve's chapel and stepped Inside. There was a streak of moonlight through the clear window nt the far end of the room. Baldos, his heart beating rapidly, stood still for a mo ment, awaiting the next move lu the game. The ghostlike figure of n wom an suddenly stood before him In the path of the inoonlieam. a hooded fig ure lu dark robes, lie started as If confronted by the supernatural. "Come," came In an agitated whis per, and he steped to the side of the phantom. She turned, and the moon light fell upon the face of Beverly Oil houn. "Don't speuk. Follow me as quickly as you can." He grasped ber nrm. bringing her to a standstill. "I have changed iny mind," he whis pered lu her ear. "Do you think I will run away and leave you to shoulder the blame for ull this? On the balcony neur your window an hour ago I" "It doesn't make any difference," she argued. "You have to go. 1 want you to go. If you knew Just how I feel to ward you you would go without a murmur." "You mean that you hate me," be groaned. "I wouldn't be so unkind as to say that." she fluttered. "I don't know who you ure. Come, we can't delay a minute. I have a key to the gate at the other end of the passage, and I know where the secret panel Is locat ed. Hush! It doesn't matter where I got the key. See! See how easy It Is!" He felt her tense little fingers In the darkness searching for his. Their hands were icy cold when the clasp came. To gether they stood In a niche of the wall uear the chancel rail. It was dark, and a cold draft of air blew across their faces. He could not see, but there was proof enough that she had opened the secret panel in the wall and that the damp, chill air came from the under- (To be continued.) A Stitch is Time. will save nine.
