HThis is my secretary said he. HE
will be my friend in this affair. But We
shall need more elbow room than we can
find here. Perhaps you Will kindly come
with me to more spacious apartment.
IL was evidently impossible TO fight In
a chamber which was blocked by a great
table. We followed him out, therefore,
into the dimly'lit hall. At the further
end light was shining through an
open door. -.

said the man with the dark beard.
II was a large empty room, with rows
of barrels and cases around the walls. A
strong lamp stood upon shelf In the
corner. The floor was level and true, so
that no swordsman could ask for more.
Duroc drew his sabre and sprang into 1t.
The Baron stood back with a bow and
motioned me to follow my companion.
| Hardly were my heels over the threshold
when the heavy door crashed behind me
and the key screamed in the lock. We
| were taken In trap.
For moment we could not realize IT..
| Such incredible baseness was outside OF
| all our experience. Then as we under
stood how foolish we had been to trust
for an instant a man with such history,
| a flush OF rage came over us, rage against
! his villuny and against our own stupid
| ity. We rushed at the door together,
beating Ii with our fists and kicking 1t
| with our heavy boots. The sound OF our
| blows and our execrations must have
resounded through the castle. We called
| to this villain, hurling at him every name
| which might pierce even into his har-
dened soul But the door was enormous
| such door as one finds in medieval
castles-made of huge beams clamped
| together with irons. 1t was as easy ia
break as a square of the Old Guard. And
our cries appeared TO be OF as little avail
| as our blows, as they only brought for
answer the clattering echoes from the
| high roof above us. When you have done
some soldering you soon learn TO put
with what cannot be altered. 1t was /,

was all very we'll, but IL seemed TO me as

supper that this youngster was thinking
rather too much of his family affairs ana
too little OF the fine scrape into which he
had got me. After all, his father had
been dead fourteen years, and nothing
could set that right, but there was

WE WERE TAKEN IN a TRAP.
then, who first recovered my calmness and
prevailed upon Duroc to join with me in
examining the apartment which had be-
come our dungeon.
There was only one window which had
no glass in il, and was SO narrow that one
could not so much as get ones head
through. Il was high up, and Duroc had
to stand upon a barrel in order to see from

There was, as he said, n long, clear strip
of snow in front. A man was riding
down IL, fiogging his horse and gallop-
ing like a mad man. As we watched he
grew smaller and smaller until he was
swallowed up by the black shadows OF
the forest.
"What does that mean2' asked Duroc.
" No good for us, ~ said |. "lle may have
gone for some brigands TO cut our throats.
Let us see II we cannot find a wayout OF
this mousetrap before the cat can arrive. ~
The one piece of good fortune I'm our
favor was that beautiful lamp IL was
nearly full OF oil aud would last US until
morning. In the dark our situation
would have been much more difficult.
BY its light we proceeded TO examine the
packages and cases which lined the walls.
In some places there was only a single line
OF them, while in one corner they wee
piled nearly 20 the ceiling. IL seemed that
we were I'm the storehouse OF the castle,
for there was great number of cheeses,
vegetables OF various kinds, bins full OF
dried fruits ana a line OF wine barrels.
One OF these had a spigot In II, and as
had eaten little during the day was glad
OF a cup OF claret and some food. As tc

as heard Duroc muttering his threats.

question rather Is what 10 he going TO
do with us?'
"Let him do his worst!" cried the boy.

and, as IL was but mile to the castle, we
did not distrurb the horses. To tell the
truth, hate to see cavalryman walk,
and i hold that just as he is the most
gallant thing upon earth when he has MS
saddle flaps between hts knees, sch els
the most clumsy when he has TO loop up
his sabre and his sabre-tasche In
one hand and turn In his toes for
fear OF catching the rowels OF his
spurs. Still Duroc and | were of an
age when one can carry things of, and l
dare swear that no woman at least would
have quarreled with the appearance of
the two young hussars, one in blue and
one In gray, who set out that night from
the Arensdorf post house. We both car
ried our swords, and for my own part /
slipped a pistol from my holster into the
inside of my pelisse, for 1t seemed TO me
that there might be some wild work for
us.
through a pitch-black fr-wood, where
one could see nothing save the ragged
patch OF stars above our heads. Pres
emily, however, II opened up and there
was the castle right In front OF US about
as far as q carbine would carry. 1t was a
huge black place. and bore every mark Of
being exceedingly old, with turrets at
every corner and n square keep on the
side which was nearest to US. In all its
great shadow there was no sign of light
save for single window, and no sound
came from 1t. To me there was some
thing awful i'm its size and its silence
which corresponded SO well with its
sinister name. My companion pressed on
eagerly and followed him along the ILL
kept path which led TO the gate.
There was no bell or knocker upon the
great iron studded door, and IL was only
BY pounding with the hilts OF our sabres
that we could at last attract attention.
A thin, pale-faced man with beard up
to his temples, opened IL at last. He car
ried a lantern in one hand, and with the
other chain which held an enormous
black hound. His manner at the first
moment was threatening but the sight of
our uniforms and of our faces turned it
into one of sulky reserve.
