from within came groans and cries.
Alarmed mt once, the captain procured
duplicate keys and entered the cell.
There he found the helpless. blood GOV.

almost dead from loss of blood. The
clothes of the American were on the
floor, while his own were missing, gonn
with the prisoner.
Oghot as soon as he was able related
his experience OF the night before. 1t
was while making his rounds at mid
night that he heard means from the
cell. Animated by n feeling of pity. he
opened the slab door and asked If he
were Ill. The wretched American was
lying on the bed. apparently suffering.
He said something which the guard
could not understand. but which he
took to be plea for assistance. Not
suspecting a trick, the kindly guard
unlocked the second door and stepped
TO the bedside only to have the sick
man rise suddenly and deal him a
treacherous blow over the head with

lowed, so effective was the blow. When
he regained consciousness. he was ly-
ing on the bed just as the captain had
found him. The poor fellow. over
whelmed by the enormity of his mis-
take, begged Dangloss TO shoot him at
once. But Dangloss had him conveyed
to the hospital ward and tenderly care6
for.

Harry Anguish heard of his friends

where to turn or what to do. Anguish
raced off to the castle, his bodyguard
having located him in the meantime.
He was more in need of their protec-
ton than ever.
At the castle gates he encountered
party of raving AXphalnians, crazed
with anger over the flight Of the man
whose life they had thirsted for so
ravenously. Had he been unprotected
Anguish would have Jared badly at
their hands. for they were outspoken
in their assertions that he had aided
IOrry in the escape. One fiery little
fellow cast glove in the Americans
face and expected a challenge. An
guish snapped his fingers and sarcas-
tically invited the insulter to meet him
next winter In battle with snowballs,
upon which the aggressor blasphemed
in three languages and 300 gestures.
Anguish and his men passed inside the
gates, which had been barred TO the
others, and struck out rapidly for the

soundly, peacefully, with a smile on
her lips, when her prime minister sent
an excited attendant 10 inform her of
the prisoners escape. She sat up in
bed, and, with her hands clasped about
her knees, sleepily announced that she
would receive him after her coffee was
served. Then she summonedsher maids.
Her uncle and aunt the Countess
Dagmar (whose merry brown eyes
were so full of pretended dismay that
the princess could scarcely restrain a
smile), and Gaspon, the minister OF
finance. were awaiting her appearance.
