the boat on the waves. Yet, only ten min
utes ago-at least, so II seemed TO her-she
had been riding among her beloved hills of
Brittany, several miles from the sea-coast.
She remembered the old peasant-woman and
the rude grasp from behind, the horrible
sensation Of choking, and then-al was
blacllness and blank.
She looked again. There was the pleas
ant and comedy faced maid, with her honest,
motherly face, bending over the table in the
adjoining saloon. Here was her own
cabin, adorned with all sorts Of lovely piet-
ures, many Of them familiar. Some repre-
scented scenes in Brittany, others in Swift
erland. or Italy, and-cOuld she believe her
eyesl--there was photograph of her own
fathers palace.
Electric lamps lighted the vessel. Ele-
CANT oil paintings hung on the walls.
Shelves, filed with books, attracted the eye.
An easel. with canvas stretched ready for
use, stood in the corner, and close by were
paints, a palette and brushes.
fine piano stood opposite. A song lay
on the rack Natalie started in surprise
II was, of course, again the "Addio," and
here she sprang forward and gave cry Of
genuine delight. Suspended by silk rib
bon and resting against the song was her
lost palette knife. A note was attached TO
IT, Inc envelope bore the words: .'tOf the
Princess Natalie"
She opened it and read:
''Do not be afraid. You can not under
stand. Only trust and all will be well.
You will be treated as becomes a Princess.
Your family has been communicated with
and informed of your safety. In few
days you may expect to hear from them"
She turned to look at the wall behind her.
Her surprise was complete when she rec
ognized Lydia in the elegant portrait hang
ing over her head. Lydia was a noted
beauty of the English peerage, and Fairfax
had found this engraving among others in
q Paris art storel
She began to experience desire to ex-
plore her prison. Blanche made no objec-
ton when she proposed going out on deck
and around the vessel.
As she was passing toward the bow, she
heard joyous neigh, and looking towards
the source, herself gave a glad cry and
rushed toward stall where stood her own
Medji. Natalie was overcome with delight,
and wept tears of happiness over the neck
of her beautiful horse, while Medji, in turn,
evinced his affection by gently neighing and
rubbing his nose against his mistress face.
A very pretty picture indeed, thought
maid Blanche and all the sailors who saw it.
Forthwith - the sweet lady" c'poor soul!
they say her minds not right,') and her
horse became objects for the devoted admit
ration and attention Of all the crew.

CHAPTER XVI

Perhaps three-guarters Of an hour after
the ..Namovna" had captured her prize, while
the shores Of Brittany were fast reccding
in the distance, the Princess regained her
consciousness. She did not seem TO rea-
lie her situation Immediately; but soon
memory returned. and she sprang to her
feet, her checks scarlet with Indignation
and her whole being Quivering with anger.
She saw, seated in the adjoining room,
busily occupied with some duty o. other,
Blanche, the maid whom the steward had
secured in Paris. To her she appealed in a
perfect torrent Of hasty words:

The apartments engaged by Fairfax were

registered at the hotel as Richard Oxford

the evening they sent word 10 the Office of
