and shaved off his mustache and gave

complexion to darker tint, and he
made his face dirty and soiled his hands
and roughened the skin of them by
chatting them ON some fints which lay
by the roadside. Then. changing Sec
ond crown, he bought loaf Of bread
and set off to trudge to Strelsau, for in
Strelsau was Osra, and he would not be
anywhere else in the world. And when
he had arrived there he went to a SER
geant of the kings guard and prevailed
ON him by present of crowns to en-
list him as trooper, and this the ser
geant, having found that Lord Harry
could ride and knew how to use his
sword, agreed to do. Thus Lord Harry
became trooper in the guard of King
Rudolf, having for all his possessions,
save what the kings stores afforded
him, few pence and the golden pin

tiers of the kings guard a waiting wom
an, who asked to see the trooper that
had mounted guard at the west gate of
the palace that day, and when he came
the woman held out to him box of
red morocco leather, saying, cit is for
you.' But he answered, "It is not for
me" and, turning away, left her. And
this happened on three evenings. Then
on the fourth day it was again his turn
to mount guard at the palace, and
when he had sat there on his horse for
an hour the Princess Osra rode out from
under the portioo. She rode alone, and and
Jne ruby necklace was on her neck, and
she said:
81 am going to ride outside the city
by the river bank. Let trooper follow
me some way behind - And she signed
with her hand to Lord Harry, and he
rode after her through the streets and
out of the western gate, and they turned
along the bank of the river. When they
had gone three or four miles from the
city, Osra halted and beckoned the Lord
Harry to approach her, and he came.
But when she was about to speak to
him and tell him that she knew him a
sudden and new madness came on to
III,
his spurs deep into his horses tanks,
and both the horses bounded forward at
a gallop. In alarm the princess cried
out, but he did not heed her. Along the
bank they galloped, and when they met
any one, which happened seldom (for
the place was remote and it was now
EVENING", he babe her cover her face,
and she obeyed, twisting her lace hand
kerchief over her face. Thus they rode
till they came at nightfall to bluff of
rock high above the stream. Here Lord
Harry suddenly checked the horses,
flung himself from the saddle and babe
the princess dismount. And she obeyed
and stood facing him, pale with fear
and apprehension, but wearing proud
and scornful air. And he cried:
els it not we'll you should die? For
you live but to madden men and drive
them to sin and folly"
May said she, "to men Of good
heart beauty leads to goodness. From
yourself come the sin and the folly, my
lord" And she laid hold of the ruby
necklace and broke the clasp of it and
flung it on the ground before him. but
he took no heed of it, but seized her
hand and drew her to the edge of the
bluff, saying:
1.-The world will be safer if I fling
You down.
Then she looked in his face, and a
sudden pity entered her heart, and she
said very gently:
"Sit down, my lord, and let me put
my hands on your brow, for think you
are in fever
And he sat down, all trembling and
shaking, like man with a0ue- and she
stripped or her gaunt1ets and took his
forehead between her hands, and he lay
there quiet with his head between her
hands. And presently his eyes closed
ana ne slept. But Osra d1d not Know
what to do, for darkness had fallen and
she dared not leave HIM alone there by
the river. Therefore she sat where she

found there it would become known
who he was, and her fame would suffer
injurious rumors by reason Of what he
had done. Therefore he made up his
mind what he must do next, and he
abandoned all dreams that had led him
into the foolish adventure on which he
had embarked and put from him the
wiokedness that had filled his heart
when first he carried her to the bluff
over the river. And he rose on to his
knees and prayed that if his deed were
a sin-for it seemed to him rather a
necessary thing-then it might be for
given, but that. in any case, no hurt
or harm should befall the Princess
Osra by reason Of anything that he had
done. Finally he commended his soul
to God. And then he took the ruby
necklace in his hand, and, holding it,
walked to the edge of the bluff.
But at this instant the sound Of the
hoofs of horse struck on his ear, and
the sound was loud and close, and he
had no more time than to turn round
before a horse was refined in suddenly
near him, and man leaped from it and
ran at him and grappled with him. And
then Lord Harry perceived that the man
was the king, for when Osra did not
return search parties had been sent out,
and the king himself headed one, and,
having the best horse and being urged
on by love and fear for his sister, he
had outridden all the rest and had
CHANGED to come alone where Osra and
Lord Harry were. And he gripped Lord
Harry furiously, cursing him for a
scoundrel and demanding what he had
done to the princess. Then Lord Harry
said:
''Do you not know me, sire? I am
Lord Harry Oulverhouse.
Greatly astonished, the king loosed
his hold and fell back pace, for he
did not understand what he heard, but
yet knew the voice of his friend. Then,
looking down, he beheld Osra sleeping
peacefully as child on the ground,
with her cloak spread under her that
she might take no harm from the damp.
And Lord Harry caught him by the
arm, crying, "Are there others coming
after you?'
"Aye," said the king, "many others.
The whole of the guard are reused and
seek her high and low in the city and
outside. But how come you here, mani"
Then Lord Harry told the king what
he had done, speaking very briefly and
hastily, but yet sparing nothing, and
r when he told him how he had carried
off the princess the kings hand flew to
the hilt of his sword. But Lord Harry
said, "Not yet" and continued to tell
the king how Osra had pitied him and
how he had watched by her and how
she had slept again, bidding him keep
the pin. Then, glancing at Osra, he
lowered his voice and spoke very quickly
and urgently, and the king held out his
hand and shook Lord Harry's hand,
asking, els there no other way?' But
Lord Harry shook his head. "a.

Seeing that my father Henry is
dead and that am king. seeing also
that 1 am no longer a bachelor, but a
married man (and here he bowed to
Margaret of Tuscany, his newly welded
wife,. and seeing that Osra is turned 30
years of age-why, we are all going to
be sober folk at Strelsau from this day
forward, and we are going to play no
more pranks. Here's a pledge of it. )"
And, having said this, King Rudolf III
took deep draft of wine.
At this moment the ushers announced
that the Lord Harry Culverhouse had
come to take his leave of their majesties
and of the princess. This gentleman had
accompanied the embassy that came
from England to congratulate the king
on his marriage, and he had staid some
months in Strelsau, very eagerly acced-
ing to the kings invitation to prolong
his visit, for such were his folly and
headstrong passion that he had fallen
most desperately in love with the fair
face of Princess Osra and could not en-
dure TO live out of her presence. Yet
now he came to bid farewell, and when
he was ushered in Rudolf received him
with much graciousness and made him
a present of his own miniatu set in
diamonds, while the queen gave him
her miniature set in the lid of golden
oasket. In return Lord Harry prayed
the king to accept richly mounted
sword and the queen an ivory fan,
painted by the greatest artist of France
and bearing her cipher in jewels. Then
he came TO Princess Osra, and she, hav-
ing hidden him farewell, said, "I am a
poor maid, my lord, and can give no
great gift, but take this pin from my
hair and keep it for my sake. " And she
drew out golden pin from her hair, a
long and sharp pin, bearing for its head
her cipher in brilliants, and she gave it
to him, smiling.
But he, bowling low and then falling
ON his knee, offered her box of red
morocco leather, and when she opened
it she saw a necklace of rubies of great
splendor. The princess flushed red see-
ing that the gift was most costly. And
she would fain have refused it and held
it out again to Lord Harry. But he
turned swiftly away, and, bowling once
more, withdrew. Then the princess
said to her brother. "It is too costly"
