for a day and night, awaiting tho re
turn of a muster who was never to
come back to them. God rest bis slm
pie soul!
Truxton King picked himself up
from the street, dazed, bewildered, but
unhurt The revolutionists had begun
the assault on the paralyzed minions
of tho government
He looked back toward tho gory en
trance to tho circus. There was Mar
ianx. mounted and swinging a saber
on tiigh. Ahead was a mass of car
riages, filled with the white faced, pal
sied prey from the court of GraustarU
From somewhero near the spot where
Olga Platanova fell cama a harsh, pen
etrating command:
"Cut them off! Cut them off from
the castle!"
It was his cue. He dashed into the
street and ran toward tho carriages,
shouting with ail his strength:
"Turn back! It la Marians! To the
castle!"
Then It was that ho saw tho prince
The boy was standing on a seat on the
royal coach of state, holding out his
eager little hands to some one In the
thick of the crowd that surged about
him. He was calling some one's name,
but no one could have beard him.
Truxton's straining eyes caught sight
of the figure in gray that struggled
forward In response to the cries and
the extended hand.
"Aunf, Moraine! r Aunt Loraine!" He
now heard tho namo the boy cried
w)th all his llttlo heart
Two officers struck at the uncouth,
desperate American as be lifted the
girl from the ground and deliberately
tossed her into tho coach. '
"Turn back!" he shouted. A horse
man rodo him down.' lie looked up as
the plunging animal's hoofs clattered
about Ills head. Vos Engo, with
drawn sword, was crowding up to the
carriage door, shouting words of re
joicing at sight of tho girl he loved.
He caught a glimpse of her, holding
the prince in her arms, her white,
agonized face turned toward the mob.
Distinctly be beard her cry:
"Bare him! Save Truxton King!"
From the sidewalks swarmed well
armed hordes of desperadoes, firing
wildly into the ranks of devoted
guardsmen. Truxton tied from the
danger zone as fast as bis strained
ankle would permit him. Bullets were
striking all about him.
Some ono was shouting his uume be
hind In the scurrying crowd. Ho turn
ed for a single glance backward, Little
Mr. Hobbs, pale as a ghost, bis cup
cone, his clothing torn, was panting ill
hto albow.
Soldiers came riding up from be
Mad, turning to fire from their sud-
dies lnlo tlio throng of cutthroats, led
by tho grim old man with the blowl.v
saber. In the center of the troop there
was n tlyltig carriage. The Uuko of
IVrse was lyliiK back In tho seat, his
fate like that of a dead umu.
"The prince Is safe!" shouted King
Joyously. "They'll make It! Thauk
Godl"
Colonel QUuinox turned In his sad
dle nnd searched out tho owner of
that stirring voice.
"Conic!" he called.
Even as King rushed out Into the
roadway n horseman galloped up from
tho"dtreotlon of tho castlo. Uo pulled
his horse to his haunches almost as
ho was riding over the dodging Amor
loan.
"Here!" shouted the newcomer,
scowling down upon tho young man.
"Swing up hero! Quick, you fooll"
It was Vos Engo. his face black with
fury. Qulnnox had seized tho hand
of Mr. llobbs on seeing help for King
nnd was pulling him up before him.
There was nothing for Truxton to do
but to accept the timely help of his
rival. An Instnut Inter he was up
behind him ami they were off after
tho last of the dragoons.
"If you don't mind, count I'll try
my luck." grated tho American. Hold

fired repeatedly In the dlroctlon of the (
howling crowd of rascals.

"Understand. It la not for you that

Then you can ride on and tell her 1

you catch my meaning?" v
"You would, eh?" said the count an
grily. "I'd like to see you drop off
while we're going at this"
"I'vo got my pistol hi the middle of
your back." grated Truxton. "Slow up
a bit or I'll scatter your vertebrao all
over your system. Pull up!"
"As you like." cried Vos Engo. "I've
done my part Colonel Qulnnox will
bear witness." lie began pulling his
horse down. "Now you arc qulto free
to drop off."
Less than a hundred yards behind
loped a riderless horse. Tho dragoon
who had sat the -u
saddle was lying
far back In the
avenue, a bullet In
bis bead. Hob
bling to the Uiid1
dle of the road,
the American
threw up his
bands nnd shout

later King was in
the saddle and

retreating guard.

cried Colonel
Qulnnox as he waited Inside the gates
for the wild rider.
General Braze, with a few of his
men, bloody nnd heartsick, was the
last of the little army to reach safety
a the cnstle grounds.
The fortress, with all guns, stores and
ammunition, was In the bands of the
Iron Count nnd his cohorts,
Baron Dangloss bad been taken pris
oner with a whole platoon of fighting
constables. This was the last appall
big bit of news to reach the horrified.
disorganized forces In tho castle
grounds.
A wlso as woll as a cruel man was
ilarlanx. Ho lost no time in issuing
a manifesto to tho stunned, dcmoral-1
ized citizens of Edelweiss. Scores of
criers went through tho streets during
tho long. vVretched afternoon, announc
ing to tho populaco that Count Mar
ians had established himself as dic
tator nnd military governor of tho
principality pending tho abdication
of the prince nnd the beginning of a
now and substantial regime. All cit
izens were commanded to recognize
tho authority of the dictator.
Toward evening, after many con
sultations and countless -reports, Mar
ians removed his bendquurtcrs to the
tower, ne had fondly hoped to bo In
the castle long before this.
Tho cells and dungeons in tho great
old tower were now occupied by
bruised, defeated officers- of the, law.
Baron JMto 't Dangloss, crushed In
spirit and broken of body paced the
blackest nnd uarrovest cojl of them

At 0 o'clock on Sunday morning u
small group of people gathered In tho
square. A meeting was soon in prog
ress. A goods bos stood over against
the very spot on which Olga Plata
nova died. An old man began haran
guing tho constantly growing crowd.
In the group might have been seen
most members of the committee of ten.
In the midst of bis harangue the
band of William Spantz was arrested
In ono of its most emphatic gestures.
Peter Brutus was approaching at the
head of a group of aliens, all armed.
"One momentP' called out Peter
Brutus, lifting bis hand imperatively.
The speaker ceased bis mouthlngs.
"Count Marians desires the Immediate
presence of the following citizens at

Then It was, and not till then, that
the committee of ten found him out!
1 Then It was that they came to know

At 3 o'clock the Iron Count coolly
sent messengers to tho homes of tho
leading merchant and bankers of the
I city. They, with the priests, tho doc

, manufacturers, were commanded to np
pear beforo him at S o'clock for tho
' purpose of discussing the welfare of

I Marians stated bis position clearly.
He left .no room for doubt In their
' minds. The strings were In his hands.
! Without hesitation he Informed tho
leading men of the city that he was
to bo the Prince of Gixustnrk.
"I will rule Oraostnrk or destroy her.
, Those of you who do not expect or

promise you. still be a wise ouc. may

vailed. It was lke a nightmare to
tho beleaguered household, a dream
from which tliero seemed to be no
awakening. Colonel Qulnnox as com
munder of the royal guard ruled su
