said Lorry May 1 inquire after the
health of the Countess Halfont? The ex-
citement of last night has not had an
unpleasant effect, 1 hope
'She is with the Princess. and both are
quite well. Since our war, gentlemen,
Graustark women have nothing to acquire
in the way of courage and endurance.
You, of course, know nothing of the hor-
rors of that war
"But we would be thankful for the
story of it, your Excellency.t War is a
hobby of mine. I read every war scare
that gets into print said Anguish, ca
gerly.
1--WE of Graustark at present have every
reason to recall the last war and bitterly
to lament its ending. The war occurred
just fifteen years ago-but will the re-
cital tire you, Mr.. Lorry? / came to spend
a few moments socially and not to go
into history. At any other time I shall
be"
"It will please and not tire me. L am
deeply interested. Pray go on, Lorry
hastened to say, for he was interested
more than the Count suspected.
Fifteen years ago Prince Ganlook of
this principality-the father of our Yetive
became incensed over the depredations
of the Axphain soldiers who patrolled our
border on the north. He demanded resti-
tuition for the devastation they had ere
ated, but was refused. Graustark is a
province comprising some eight hundred
square miles of the best land in this part
of the world. Our neighbor is smaller in
area and population. Our army was bet
ter equipped but not so hardy. For sew
eral months the fighting in the north was
in our favor, but the result was that our
forces were finally driven back to Edel-
weiss, hacked and battered by the fierce
thousands that came over the border. The
nation was staggered by the shock, for
such an outcome had not been considered
possible. We had been too confident Our
soldiers were sick and worn by six
months of hard fighting, and the men of
Edelwess-the merchants, the laborers
and the nobility itself-hew to arms in
defense of the city. For over a month
we fought, hundreds of our best and brav-
est citizens going down to death. They
at last began bombardment of the city.
To-day you can see the marks on nearly
every house in Edelweiss. Hundreds of
graves in the valley to the south attest the
terrors of that siege. The castle was
stormed, and Prince Ganlook, with many
of the chief men of the land, met death.
The Prince was killed in front of the
castle gates. from which he had sailed in
q last brave attempt to beat off the con-
querors. A bronze statue now marks the
spot on which he fell. The Princess, his
wife, was my sister, and as 1 held the
portfolio Of finance, it was through me
that the city surrendered bringing the
siege to an end. Fifteen years ago this
autumn-the 10th Of November, to be ex-
plicit-the treaty of peace was signed in
Sofia. We were compelled to cede a por-
ton of territory in the far northeast, val
liable for its mines. Indemnity was agreed
upon by the peace commissioners,
amounting to 100000 900 gavvos, or nearly
