All the while she was speaking the young
princess directed a shower of harmless
blows at the skirts of her attendant, which

But Isabel of Spain was not to be ap-

tears in the midst of her fury.

Now, whether these childish threats ac-
tually had some effect or whether the old
lady was as soft-hearted as her comforta-
BILE appearance denoted, but certain it is
that she took a key from her pocket and
passed it through the tall gilt railing to La
Giralda.

Slowly and with the meekest dignity La
Girada did as she was hidden. She found

narrow that she could not get her donkey
to pass through with his great side burdens
of faggots. But as those were not at all
heavy, La Giralda herself detached them.

The sergeant took the girls hand in his.
"Chica,' he said, your wrongs are in

do so yet But 1 cannot be the commander
of these men. They are not of my folk or

"Ah," cried the girl, laying her hand
again on his cuff. THAT is because they
do not wish you to share their plunder.
But tell them that you care nothing for
that and they will welcome you readily
enough.
The sergeant rose to his feet and looked
compassionately down at the vivid little
figure before him. In the depths of MS
heart, the heart of a Spanish gypsy, there
was an infinite sympathy for one who takes
up the blood feud, who. in face of all diff
culties, swears the vendetta. But the slim
arms, the spare, willowy body, the little
white sandaled feet of the little girl-these
overcame' him with pitifully amused
sense of the disproportion of means to end.
Have you no brother, senorita? he
said, using by instinct the title of respect
which the little girl loved the most. She
saw his point in a moment.

with his hand resting her shoulder in

fng ill with the pair of shrunk and spindle
shanks which appeared beneath.
1t was not long before La Giralda had
MIXED the remainder of the flock and sent
the remaining white pitchers into the pal
ace Little Isabella danced with delight
as one after another escaped with mn
mite tail waggling and bleatings of pleas
ure And in the dearth of the other
amusement she desired and even COM
manded the old woman to remain and pas
ture her herd within the precincts OF the
palace. But La Giralda had much yet TO
do. She must find out the state and dis
position of the town of San Ildefenso and
then rejoln her companions in the little
corrie or cauldron-like cirque" In which
she and the sergeant had left Rollo and
the other members of the expedition.
So after the small and imperious royal
maid had been carried screaming and bat
Ting upstairs by Dona Susana and the
globuar major domo, La Giralda, richly
rewarded in golden coin of the realm and
with all the requisite information as to
the palace, betook herself back to the
gate by which she had left the ass. This
she loaded again, and driving it before her
retraced her steps past the corner of the
palace, and SO to the porters lodge by the
great gate.
Here she was presently ushered out by
a mumbling old woman, who Informed her
that her husband and son had both gone
to Madrid with the troops, but would un-
doubtedly return in an hour or two,
statement which, with her superior infor-
nation, the old gypsy took leave to doubt
The town of San Ildefenso lay beneath
the chateau and to her right, as La Gil
ralda issued from the great gates. The
houses were of aspect at once grave
and cheerful. They had mostly been built
to accommodate the hordes of courtiers
and their suites who in the summer
months followed the royal personages over
the mountains from Madrid.
AS most of these had fled at the first
invasion of the cholera the windows Were
closely shut up, and upon several of the
closed doors appeared the fatal black and
white notices of the municipality, which
indicated that there either was or had
been a case of the plague within the In
fected walls.
A city watchman with a pipe in his
mouth looked drowsily and frowsily out of

the town hall. He was retreating again to
his settle, when it suddenly struck him
that this intruder had paid no duty upon
her milk and fireWood
So, laying aside his pipe and seizing his
halbert and cooked hat, he sailed grum-
blingly forth to intercept the bold contra
vener of municipal dues. But the active
limbs of the old gypsy led the party out
of the village gate before the man in au-
thorty could overtake La Giralda. So
long had she occupied in her various ad-
ventures that the evening shadows were
already lengthening when she returned to
the corrie where the party had spent in
restful Incidence the burden and heat of
the day The sergeant had not yet ar
rived, and La Giralda delayed her story
til he should give her leave to speak.
In the meantime she busted herself with
Concha's help, in preparing the evening
meal, as quick upon her legs as if she had
done nothing but lounge in the shade all
day. 1t was almost sundown when the
sergeant came in, dropping unannounced
over the precipice as if from the clouds.
I'VE must be in La Granja in two hours
If We are to save a soul within it's walls"
he said, "but-we have an hour for dinner
first. Therefore let dine. God knows
when we shall taste food again."
And with this dictum John Mortimer
heartily agreed.

Palace RurRIars

The startling announcement of the SER
geant at once set the whole party in motion.
Their suspicious of the morning were cast
to the winds as the sergeant and La Giralda
in turn related their adventures. Concha.
having formerly vouched SO strongly for
the old gypsy woman, nodded triumphantly
across to Rollo, who on his part listened
intently AS Sergeant Cardono proceeded
the young man leaned further and further
forward, breathing deeply and regularly
The expression on his face was that of a.
fierce and keen resolution.
The sergeant told all the tale as it had
happened reserving only the identifica-
tion Of himself with the famous Jose Maria
Of Ronda, which the gypsies had made
on the strength of the red mark about
his neck, now once more concealed under
his military stock.
Then In her turn La Giralda told Of her
visit to the pavilion. of the little queen,
passionate, joyous, kindly natured abso-
lutey Spanish, till the hearts of her hearers
melted to the tale
"Our orders are to capture her and her
mother, the regent" said Rolo, thought
fully. 1T would therefore serve our pur-
be sacrificed to the bloodthirsty fury of
mob of plunderers!"
''Then the sooner we find ourselves
within the gates the more chance we shall
have Of saving them bOth!' said the SER
geant. Serve out the puchero, La Giral-
dan'
Concha had taken no part in the dis
cussion. But she had listened with all her
ears and now in the pause that followed
she declared her unalterable intention Of
making one of the party.
In his heart and though he made several
objections Rollo was glad enough to give
way. For with all the unknown dangers
of the night before them, and the certainty
of bloodshed, when the gypsies should at
tack he relished still less the thought of
leaving Concho alone in that pit on the
chill side of Gundarama.

CHAPTER xxx.

Meanwhile La Girada, with one COM
prehensive look back at the desOlate farm
house, drove her little flock before ner to-
ward the town gates of San 1ldefonsO
Like a picture the town roofs lay beneath
in the sunshine, spire and roof garden
pigeon house and terrace walk. Presently,
with her little flock before her, La Giralda
| found herself skirting the hgh-paled
ironwork which confines the palace. She
pursued her way toward the town, taking
care, however, to look sharply about her,
SO that she might miss nothing.
The palace grounds seemed utterly de-
serted. The fountains slept waterless. Not
even a gardener was to be seen scratching
weeds on a path, or in the dimmest dis
tance passing at random across one of the
deep-shaded avenues. An unholy quiet
seemed to have settled upon the place, the
marvel of CASTLE, the most elevated of
earthly palaces, broken only by the somber
| tollng of the chapel bell, which would
cease for five minutes without apparent
reason, and then, equally without cause,
| begin all over again it's lugubrious chime
AS the gypsy passed along a small shrill
voice called upon her to stop, and from q
sidewalk, concealed by roses and Oleander
bushes, late Towering because Of the great
elevation, richly dressed little girl came
running. She ran at the top Of her speed
| toward the gilt railings, which lowered
high above her head.
''stop," she cried, imperiously. 81 bid

have all the milk she wanted! Ridioulous!'
BY this time the little girl had mounted
| the parapet and was clinging with all her
might to the iron railings, while q fat,
motherly person had waddled out of the
underbrush in search of her, and with many
| exclamations of pretended anger and indig-
| nation was endeavoring to entice her away.
MY Lady Isabel, what would your noble

and the manner of attack. They were still
jealous of him with that easily aroused
jealousy of south and north which in Spain
divides even the clannish gypsy.
Nevertheless he went the round of the
men. The men as courteouSly bade him
good day, preserving, however, certain
respectful distance and adding nothing to
the information he had already obtained.
But Chica, seated on her stone, with her
scarlet-bound head on her hand, neither
looked up nor gave him any greeting as
his feet went slowly down the rocky glen
and crunched over the begrimed patches of
last years snow, now moist and heavy
with the heat of MONDAY.
