It wan none of my buslncsn, really; but Ade laide or no Adelaide, a British Army Olllivr cannot rest Bupluely In the midst of civil war, even though, it be merely opera bouffe. So I went ainonir them, im a citizen, discreetly lenvlnii my uniform lu my porttuau tea ti In tho dark for it wnu not yet morning I mixed with the crowd and en light tho drift of tho revolution. They were tired of old John Henry now Braeefully styled Enrique XVII. l or a time his return to ltarratarla wan the occasion of festivities and brilliant ceremonials. Now they wanted a young man. There was Trastaninrn, Adelaide' dlntHnt cousin. He was of royul blood uud full of tire. Why not make him king? And I found by questioning that Trastamara, the gambler and sport of tho Island. ias laying wires nlong de vious paths to accomplish Just that end, forcing the abdication of Johu llenrv and how It Moored ine tak ing Adelaide us his queen. I ground my teeth. Homier than seo thut sweet atigel Traatamaru's wife I would wet my sword in the villain's blood and carry off the prize myself, I saw that action wus necessary if I were to accomplish anything, nnd tho next day, early in the afternoon, attired in full uniform, mnde niv way to the paluce. It was surrounded by the King's guards, with Instructions to admit only the nunoiuted. My highland garb, with kilt uud sperran, turtuu uud Icutucr bonnet, wus un known In llnrrnbirla and attracted some attention. I represented myself as a (JiHtiint rrliitlrs of the royal fam ily on mi Important iuImsioii, and after bribing the guard, was permit led to iK'inl lu my card, rrcwnily tho Kunrd returned, and bowing low. cuimiu-d me to folhw Mm. I pitMncd through ths marble halls of tlm palace, and was tmhered Into a dimly-lighted drawing-room. And In a few minutes entered Adelaide, my own, my darling, holding out bom hands und smiling her greeting. 1 took her lu my heart, I covered her dear fuco with k limes. And when we were guleted, 1 told her how 1 hail found her and why 1 had come. Hhu Intlsted that It wus liu use that It only ma do her lot harder to bear. Hhe had Ih'cii ordered by the king: to wed Traslaiiiara, "tho gambler," though she loathed him. "oh, Gregory," am; sobbed, "if we could only lie buck lu the little cottage In IVrrihy." Ah! the bitter sweet of tuoso days the hunger for my sweetheart, the In frequent glimpses of her dear face, the haunting fear of Trnntamnra's schemes, l or two weeks I remained at the hotel, while the revolution ;;i;ouIJfrt:d, end 1 meked my brains for a method of res iiing Adelaide. 'J'hen my plan formed, 1 sat still aud awulted tho crucial ntomeut. It was the night of the annual Grand iMato Hall. With a somewhat doubtful heart, 1 entered the pulace, in full uniform, with short tscotch sword. Ilefore many mluuU-s 1 wus summoned by AdeJutdu's C'hainlxr htlll to meet her lu tho dancing hall, uud thither I went for a brief dance wMli my beloved. .Near by her, guard ing her Jealously, blood Tra.itamaru, a il dark-browed desperado. I bud learned i hough ho knew it not that ho had several hundred trusty follow ers, lu the pulmo und out, ready to rush to Ms cull. He had planned to carry out his acheme thut night. I knew all this, und I, alone and almost empty handed, wus (lu re to balk him. After our dance, I uud an opportu nity to druw Adelaide luto the con servatory, I abjured her to go with mo buck to Kuglnnd -to leave the place with all Its bickerings and plot ttngs, und be my Isiniile English w ife, 'liut father." slu) faltered; "they would teur Mm to pieces if tln-y found mo gone. And yet, tJregory deur, I believe he would go if he hud a chance, lie is so feeble, so sick of It ull. If you could talk with him." Huddenly Adelaide's eyes grew big nml dark with fright 3ly back was to the door, und 1 had one hand on le-r waist, smoothing her deur hair with the other. I turned anil my heart ehlllnd. There, peeping Is--tween the great leaves of n palm, grinning hatefully, was Trustnmura. He dinappcarcd. The licit moment there was a hub bub lu the hull. "The King"' I heard them cry. 'Tho King:" Cone? with nie quick." said Adelaide, in au c.v i netted whisper. "It Is our onl haiice:" And taking m by the ami. i-he drew me into the ball room mid up on to the stugc. The crowd ap proached us oil tiptoe with excitmcut. for Trastamaru hud undoubtedly spread the iiews. In the front came the king, with brilliant robes mid Jew ;h'd crown. How old and feeble he looked. How worn und tired. Hut he had lost none of his proud anger I old days. Italslng his mace he i .illcd aloud: "That man Is an inter loper. He has designs oil the ImhIv of t! king! Tut lilm out: lianUu him: Away with him!" I turned to Adelaide. She stood there tremulous, her ryes shining like Mars, an adorable creation. On sud den ImpiilNf I threw one arm u limit her and kissed her passionately Ik foiv them ull. 'J'hen. facing the crowd: "The princess Is my atUanccd wife"' I cried. "I.rt lii in who dares put foot on this plutforml" I drew my sword Just in tiine. I'.rave as a lion. Trastamara leaped upon the platform und came at me Kitaiilng. He held u short knife in bin right hand, aud circled for au opening. "ling!" I cried. Letting out with my sword I fetched him a iiiiL-hty stroke across the temple, and rolled hack Into the crowd. There was now u babel in the hall. The possibility of defense was at au end, lor I neurit orders outside and knew that soldiers were- approaching. A door stood open lichlnd us. I took Aihialde by the shoulders and pushed iier through it. "To the south irate. I whlssred In ber eurs.
