9 Beverly of m. .w r. . a - w ' " s- liGraustarki-srB ' (Continued from last week.) Th:: lulul-te n:;.1 tiie lords and la dles of the rustle were assembled In the room when Huron T'hiikIosh ap peared with the courier from the pris on. Count Mar lain was iiiIshIiik. He tui on bis way to the fortress, a crushed, furious. Impotent old man. In bin quarters bo was to sit and wait for the blow that be knew could not be averted. In fear and despair, biding bis pain and Ids shame, be was rack ing bis brain for means to lessen the force of that blow. He could withdraw tbe charnex uRnliiKt Baldos, but be could not soften the words be bad laid and written of Keverly Calhoun. Ho was not troubling himself will fear be cause of the adventures In the cbapel and passage. He knew too well bow Yetlvc could punish when her heart was bitter against an evildoer. Grau litark honored and protected lt wo men. The warden of tbe dungeons from which Culirlcl bad escaped mouths be fore reported to tbe princess that tbe prisoner was again In custody. Brief ly be related that a party of men led by I'rlnce Imntan had appeared early that day. bringing the fugitive prince uninjured, but crazed by rage and dls nppolntuient. They bad tricked him Into following them through Uie bills, 'Intent upon slaying bis brother Dan tan. There could be no mistake as to Gabriel's Identity. Ill conclusion the warden Implored her highness to send troops up to guard the prison In the mountain side. He feared an attack lu force by Gabriel's army. "Your hlehiiess," said I.orry, "I have sent Instructions to Colonel Braze, re quiring; him to take a large force of men Into the pass to guard the prison. Gabriel shall not escape a gain, though all Dawsbergeu comes after him." "You have but little to fear from rwslMTgen." said Havone, who wa eated near the princess. Cnndace at bis side. "Messages have been brought to me from tbe IVudlug nobles of Daws bergen assuring me that the populace li secretly eager for the old reign to t resumed. Only the desperate fear of Gabriel nnd n few of his bloody but loyal advisers buhls them In check. Believe me, Iawa!ergen'i efforts to release Gatiriel will be perfunctory and half hearted In tlio extreme. He ruled like a madman. It was hi la tense, Implacable desire to kill bis brother that led to bis undoing. Will It be strange, your highness. If Daws bergen welcomes tbe return of Dantau In bis stead?" "The story! The story of bis cap ture! Tell me the story," enme eager ly from those assembled. Havone lean ed back languidly, his face tired and drawn once more, as If the mere re calling of the hardships past was hard to bear. "Klrat. your highness, may I advise you anil your cabinet to send another ultimatum to the people of Ha u sher gi'll?" he asked. "This time say to them that you hold two Kawsbergen princes In your baud One cannot and will not be restored to them The oth er will be released on demand. Let the embassy bo directed to meet the Puke of Main, the premier lie Is now with the army, not far from your frontier May It please your highness. I have myself taken the lllvrty of dispatching three trusted followers with the news of Gabriel's capture The two llappos and Carl Vandos are speeding to the frontier Your embassy will find the lMiko of Mntj In possession of all the facts " "The I Hike nf Mat. I am reliably In formed, some day Is to he father In-law to liawslieiueii," smilingly said Yetlve. "I shall not wonder If he responds most favorably to an ultimatum " ltnvoue atol Caudace exchanged glances of iitmi'-eiiieht, the latter hiva Iiik Into a liilorulile illtle K"rK'' of ; latU'hter.

For the present let me ask you to be satisfied with the statement that we tricked bltn bv menus of letters Into the Insane hope that be could rapture und slay bis half brotl-?r. Captain Haliloa sng- gested tbe plan. Had be been arrested yesterday I feel It would have falletl. Gabriel was and Is Insane. We led bin, a chase through the Grnus.ark bills until the time was ripe for tbe final act. His small ban.l of followers fl.sl at our sudden attack, and he was taken almost without n struggle not ten miles from tbe city of K.lelwelss. In bis mad ravings we leanied that his chief desire was to kill his brother and I sister and after that to carry out the pin n that has long been In bis mind. He was coming to Kdelwelss for tbe sole purpose of entering the castle by the underground passage, with murder In bis heart. Gabriel was coming to kill the Princess Yetlve und Mr. Lorry. He has never forgotten the love he bore for the princess nor tbe hatred he owes his rival. It was the duty of Captain Baldos to see that be did not enter the passage In the event Unit he eludisl us In the bills."

Ills only hope was that the princess might make an exception lu the case of one who had been the head of the army, but tbe hope was tisi mull to cherish. Baldos walked forth u free man, the duudlts of the pisiple lu Ills ears. Karon Dangloss and Colonel (juinnox were beside the tall guard as lie came forward to receive the commendations and apologies of Graustark's ruler and the warm promises of reward from the man he served.
