Sbo bad been nelrou on ttio night

.formed army and of Its leaders. She
determined to make her way to tho
camp of thoso who would destroy her
husband, eager to give them any as
sistance that her own knowledge of
Jlnrlanx's plans might provide.
One bit of information she gave
created no end of consternation among
the would be deliverers of the city. It
had the effect of making them all the
jnore resolute; tho absolute necessity
"tar Immediately regaining control In
the' city was forced upon them. She
told them that Count Maria nx had
lately received word that the Grand
Sate Panlus was likely to intervene
before many days, acting on his own
initiative. In the belief that bo could
"force the government of G rati stark to
sraut the railway privileges so much
desired by his country. Marians re

"Store of men across tho border at any
time," said the countess in conclusion.
"Count MarlaQx is sure to make a de
cisive assault as soon as ho hears that
the movement has begun. Ho had
lwpes of starring them out, thus sav
ing the castle from destruction, but as
that seems unlikely his sbelU will
moos begin to rain in earnest upon the
car old pile."
Truxton King was listening with
"wide open ears. As she finished this
reary prediction he silently arose to
bib feet and, without a word to any
eno, stalked off in the darkness. Tul
13a looked after him and shook his head
adly.
"I'll be happy on that fellow's ac
count when daybreak cornea and we
re really at It." he said to Prince
Dantan, who knew something of King's
'miction.
But Truxton King was not there at
daybreak. When he strode out of the
camp that night he left it behind for
ever. Tho' unfortunato lack of means to
communicate with tho occupants of
the castle had been tho source of great
distress to Captain Haas. If the de
fenders could be informed as to the
exact hour of the assault from the out
side tbey could do much toward its
Qccdy success by making a fierce sor
tie from behind their own walls. A
Quick dash from tho castle grounds
"would serve to draw Marlanx's atten
tion in that direction, diminishing the
force that he would send to check the
$RtHght at the gates. '
J Truxton King had all this in mind
as ho swung off down the mountain
road, bavins stolen past the sentries
"with comparative case. Tho danger
from Marlanx's scouts outsido the city
Was not great; they had been scattered
mud beaten by Unas recruiting par
tics, lie stood In more danger from
thetaien ho, would help, they who were
tho .watchful defenders of the castle.
It must have Iwen 2 o'clock when he
crossed the king's highway, a mile or
more above tho northern gatetf, and
struck down Into the same thick un
dergrowth that, hud protected him and
Hobl3 on a memorable nlgbt not long
before.
Af 3 o'clock a dripping figure threw
-ap his hands obligingly and laughed
, "with exultation wheu confronted by a
startled guurdBinan Insldo the castle
trails and not more than fifty yards
from tho wntor gate. Tie shouted a
frlcuidly cry as ho advanced toward
tho num. calling out hla own name.
Ten minutes lator bo wns standing
in tho presence of tho haggard, nervo
racked Qulnnox, pouring into' his as
tonished ears the news of the coming
attack. Tho colonel lost no time in
routing out tho sleeping guardsmen
anq reserves una in sending com
mantis to thoso already on duty at tho
gates.
When the euh peeped over the lofty
bills be saw Insldo the gates a rest
less; waiting company of dragoons
ready for the command to ride forth.
Meantime King had crossed tho
gnwnds with Colonel Qulnnox on the
way;' to the castle, no was amazed, at
moat stupefied, by the devastation that
lrkdy had been wrought. A dozen or
man balls bad crashed Into the facado,
lavralng fissures, gigantic boles, mark
ed the path of the ugly messengers
treat Marlanx. Nearly all of the wln
4gewg had been wrecked by riflemen
who7hot from tho roofs of palaces In
sdf' about the . avenue. Two of the
mailer minarets were in ruins, A

Attendants sped to tho tower, shout
ing the battle tidings.
The prince came tumbling down tho
narrow Iron stairs from his room
above, shouting Joyously to Truxton
King. No man was ever so welcome.
He was besieged with ouestlons, hand
shakings and praises. Even tho Duke
of Perse, hobbling on crutches, had a
kindly greeting for him. Tears stream
ed down the old man's checks wheu
King told him of his daughter s safe
arrival In the friendly -camp.
Hut Just now Truxton was staring
at the narrow staircase. Vos Engo
and Loralne were descending slowly.
The former was white and evidently
very weak. He leaned on tho girl for
support.
Count Ilalfout offered the eiplann
tion. "Vos Engo was shot last week
through the shoulder. He Is too bravo
to give up, as you may see. It hap
pened on the terrace. There was an
unexpected fusillade from the house
tops. Eric placed himself between the
marksmen and Miss Tullls. A bullet
that might have killed her Instantly
struck him In the shoulder.
King never forgot the look In Lo-
rnlue's eyes as she came down thv
steps. Joy nnd anguish seemed to
combine themselves In that long, in
tense look. .
She gave him her hands. The look
In her tired eyes went straight to his
heart Vos Engo drew back, his face
set in a frown of displeasure.
"Mr brother?" she asked, without
taking her gaze from his eyes.
"He Is well. He will see you today,
"And you, Truxtou?" was bar next
question, low and quavering.
"Unharmed and unchanged, Lo
ralne.' he said softly. "Tell me, did
Vos Engo stand between you .and

"Yes, Truxton,"
sho said, dropping
her eyes as If In
deep pain.
"And you have
not broken your
promise to him 5"
"No; nor havo I

ises to you."
Ho is a bravo
man. I can't help
saying it" said the
Vmerican, d e o p
lines suddenly ap-
p o a rl n g in his
face. Swiftly he
turned to Vos En
go, extending his
hand. "My hand,
sir, to a brave
man!"
Vos Engo stared
at him for a moment and then turned
away, lgnorifig the friendly hand. A
hot flush mounted to Loralne's brow.
Voa Engo's response was el short, bit
ter laugh.
