had overcome the two men who had
thought to murder him. at was a

"But / might not have escaped

thoughtfully. at was a narrow

"And how gained you the knowl-

Ruric.
'T'll explain it to you when we
have time. But did | understand
you to say that the humpbacked
priest was there?"
"He came to my dungeon with
the rest, and twas he that knocked
down. Have you not found him z"
"No; we have seen nothing of
him. We found two men in the hall,
and that was ALL"
The place was searched all
through for the priest, but he could
not be found. and when Vladimir
was assured that the arch villain had
made his escape he prepared to leave
the building. The prisoners. four of
them, were led out first and taken
away by the monks followers.
When Ruric reached the street,
the stars were all out, and the cool.
frosty air struck gratefully upon his
brow. He turned toward his mystic
rious companion, and under the
grateful impulse of the moment he
stopped. He raised his hands to-
ward heaven, uttered one fervent
sentence of thanksgiving to God
and then moved on again.

this black monk-this Vladimir ?"
The duke started across the floor.
and for some moments he continued
pacing to and fro. When he stop
ped, he brought his hands together
with an energetic movement, and,
looking the priest sternly in the
face, he said:
"Let that monk be who he may,
whether man or devil, God or saint,
I'll destroy him! l have the power,
and I'll use it. AS warden of the city

life he has left. I'll dispose of him
soon. But that monk! By heavens,
he dies at once and without consul
tation with the emperor, for l can
swear he is conspirator."
"Good!" calculated the priest.
And thus the business was ar
ranged for the present. Passion
helped the duke wondrously in his
and the wish was maze
into the power. But even before
the priest left the stout nobleman
began to wish that he had very lit
tie more power. In fact, as he came
to reason he began to doubt, but he
gave up not one idea of the plan he
had formed for the vengeance his
soul SO madly craved.

He moved nearer and buried his face against
her gown.
Tell me when you were in love- he
persisted.
Her hand moved toward his hair, but she
caught it back again. The distant rumble
of wheels sounded on the road above them.
Carl, there's the bus back! Hurry"
she exclaimed.
"She'll want to take her things off and
rest while before she sees people, he
said, without lifting his head. Nonsense"
she laughed. Go this second. Pm tired

He dragged himself up and stood for
a moment looking down at her. absently
crushing her little sand pyramid with his
foot. She smiled and patted back a yawn
with her fingers.
"Goodby," he said, and went slowly
across the beach. At the top of the bluff
his steps quickened. She saw him wave
his cap and hurry forward.
