"My husband will never (ay all those franca down for me. le will not think me worth it." "The cur!" said tho Irishman lereely. The primes laughed softly. "How do you know that I am worth it?" ohe naked lightly. "Ho lieve me, Mr. (iildea, the world will lay my hiiKband i well rid of me. I won going to demand a Reparation from him in the autumn, ami now Ah, well! A scandal will m pre vented, and the beat of messieurs lee brigands' drugs hi that their effect it lasting." "Lasting indeed!" (lerald (iil rlca's rvea laughed back into here. Then they gtew grave again. "I'm glad little Lucys random was o promptly paid." "Are you engaged to her?" the princes asked quickly. "They told me no in Ajaccio." "They tohl you liea in Ajaccio, madame. Lucy in heart free for me." "Oh!" And the princess laughed oftly to herself. "And when will they pay your ransom, Mr. (iildea?" "When yours is paid, madame." "At the (ireek kalends?" The princess' face was white under her sunburn, but her eyes laughed atill. (Jildeii bent his head gravely. "At the (ireek kalends, princes. I lid you expect it to be otherwise?" " i" J n. What need for more lies now. when we are going to die, (.Vrald?" "No need at all now. Io you know, princess, 1 have never heard jour Christ urn name '(" "Have you not? It is not a pretty Hume Zciiobiu." "It is an imperious kind of name. It (mils you." "You think so? Ah, never mind! How old are you, Ocrald? Twenty five? And 1 inn thirty. Neither of us old, and vet neither of us very aorrv that we shall have our throat cut in n dav or (. "Iliihh! Io not Fpeak of it." "Have you a mother, Mr. (iildea, 1 or a MMer ?" . I "It.. tli," Oerald (iildea answered,! and for a moment there came into his blue eye the shadow of a half conquered pain. It had beset him for an hour or two before, when thei American girl'a ran.-om had arrived and she had turned to him for one moment w ith a dumb entreaty in her eycH. She wa going back to home and friendx, her look (teemed to hay. Would not he at leant M'tul word to thoM who loved him of the peril in which he Mood? The money would be paid at once. Herald (Jild.-n knew, uim hi? muhi innu ninm uio princess, i-he whom her friends call ed the loveliest and lit r enemies the worst woman in Uu.ssia. It was only death the prim-ess need fear, (Iildea knew, too, for he was aware that (die had one bosom friend that would help her from any worse fate. And, to thinking, he made up his mind to abide the end with her. "Our ir jailers are busy playing morra, Haul the princess, hreakmg in upon his thoughts. "Shall we f, too, (lerald ? You do not know low? Fie I Come, shut your eyes and guess how many fingers I hold up Well, what are you thinking of to make you look so graver A woman? Tell me her name." "Alice and Honor." 1 The princess' straight brows met In a frown. i "Two women ?" ahe said, with an odd little laugh. "Are they pretty women, then? Tell me about tnem. i "My mother is lovely, not pretty, Gerald Uildea said gruvcly. '"Honor is not pretty either, but she has the pleasantcst face in the world." "You speak as if you were sorry for her," the princess said in an altered voice. Is your sister deli cate?" i "She is a hopeless cripple. At least sho will never bo able to walk as long ns sho lives. But I ought not to have culled her hopeless. Thero never was a merrier creature than my siHter Honor." i "And your mother? Her name is Alice, you suid. Tell mo about her, Gerald." 1 "My mother I have nothing to tell of her, princess." i "You said sho was lovely. Is she fair or durk like you?" "Dark like me darker, I think. Do not let us speak of my mother, princess." i "Ah I" the princess said under her breath. Then she UaneL forward and leaned her linrid on (ho Irish man's locked linger. "My dearl" he whispered softly ns her hand was taken and la-Id tightly. "My dear!" Tho lianditli wcro still playing tnorrn, though the moon wan well, up in tho hky, and the losers wen, turning in good net term. Jtut t li j prisoner were sleeping t hat i toi say, Ucrald (iildea was sleeping an soundly an a child, with n heap of grass fur a pillow, but though the shadow of a frreat rock wan over tin! princess also, nhn was wide awakeJ and not a word of their raptors taik had she loot aw sho sat crouched in the shadows looking up at tin lender sickle of the moon with wide, intent eyes. Presently (die put her fingers into her ear to shut out the loud laughter and louder oatha, hut the thoughts would not fall intc coherent shape even then. Sonic-l-iing thua they ran : "They will kill u tonight. 1 lienrd them say no. I wonder if Uer Id know. How can he sleep liks that? 1 am not a coward, yet I could not sleep. Or am 1 a coward, aftei all? I hardly know. Oh, me, I know nothing! I have, wasted my life. What will Ivan say, I wonder? 1! can inMall I .a Mascottc in my rooms now. And how ill the blue nut in will go with her red hair! Perhaps Ivan will he sorry for a little, lie was fond of me oncn. Poor Ivan! I dar say it wan more than half my fault that wo were so unhappy. I wonder what they will do with uk when w are dead. Will they bury us or throw us into the sen? They'll bury u, perhaps, becuuhe of the hue and cry. Are they moving over there? I think they are. I wonder 1 am not more frightened if 1 am a coward." She tlufcd her eyes for a moment, murmuring an incoherent little prayer. "Forgive me ami him and make us happy somewhere, dear heaven. And make I van happy, too, and comfort those two women, Hon or and Alice. And because he stayed for in v ake, dit thou lay his death at my door. Amen, amen!" ' Then t-he opened her even and took her lingers from her earn, for, , as sl0 M,j,i , ,orelf, it did not In - come a Karoly to die huddled up like n rabbit in a burrow. They were whicpering together again, and fhe liMelied eagerly. "They have been drinking," hho faid to hernelf, patting her hand to the friend that lay mi ugly in the bosom of her gown. "What ia it they may? Whose beauty do they want to ppoil? l'lcase (iod, mine." Then a wavering footstep came toward her, and a cold feur suddenly emote the princcx. holding her fust ro that die could not ppcak or ehriek, though in come occult way she knew that her companion in danger wan awake. (Jildeu roue up on hi8 CK1W nii WHited quietly. In her COriKT the liniKTHS crouched, listening intently. She could hear steps and w hispers, and though not a found came from (iildea she knew that they were about their devil's work. There was a dull silence, and then a very faint moan scarcely more than a sigh, but Princess Ka- roly heard it and leaped to her feet, thrusting her hand into her bosom. She went straight to the place where he lay, gave one steady look into the blinded eyes, and then, with some thing like a smile on her lips, drew her hand from her bosom and sent a merciful bullet straight into his heart. Then she dropped on her knees and caught the brown head to her bosom, kissing the marred face ! with heartbroken kisses and .whis pering tender words into the ears that could not hear her tender words that now her husband hears her murmuring in her sleep o' nights. For, five minutes after her bullet had found its billet in Gerald Gildea's heart, a mule came down the road from Ajaccio, laden with her ransom money. Again fate had been unkind to Princess Karoly.
