CHAPTER XIX.

- IF went the carriage with q
dash, the rumble Of Its wheels
Joining in the grewsome roar
of the elements. For some
time the two sat speechless side by
side. Outside the thunder rolled, the
rain swirled and hissed, the wind
howled and all the horrors Of nature
seemed crowded into the blackness or
that thrilling night. Lorry wondered
vaguely whittier they were going, why
he had seen no flashes Of lightning, II
he should ever see her again. His
mind was busy with thousand
thoughts and queries.
"Where are we going" he asked aft
er they had Travelled half mile or so.
ITO a place Of safety" came the re-
ply from the darkness beside him.
"Thanks," he said dryly. "By the
way, don't you have any lightning In
this part Of the world? I haven't seen
flash tonight"
1T is very rare" came the brief re-
ply.
"Deyilish uncommunicatve," thought
Lorry. After a moment he asked,
How far do we travel tonight"
"a number of miles"
"Then I'm going to take of this wet
coat 1t weighs ton. Won't you re-
move yoursT He jerked Off the big
rain coat and threw it across to the
opposite seat, with the keys and the
lantern. There was a moments hesi-
tation on the part Of his companion,
and then second wet coat followed
the first. Their rain helmets were also
tossed aside. makes fellow feel
more comfortable"
After this there was longer silence
than at any time before. The soldier
drew himself into the corner Of the
seat, an action which repelled further
discussion, 1t seemed to Lorry, 80 he
leaned back in the opposite corner and
allowed his mind to wander far from
the interior of that black, stuffy car
rage. Where was he going? When
was he to leave Graustark? Was he
to see her soon?
Soon the carriage left the smooth
streets of Edelweiss, and he could tell
by the jolting and careening that they
were in the country, racing over a
rough, rocky road. 1t reminded him
| of an overland trip he had taken In
West Virginia some months before,
with the fairest girl in all the world as
his companion. Now he was riding IN
her carriage, but with surly, untalka-
tive soldier Of the guard. The more ne
allowed his thoughts to revel In the
American ride and its delights the
more uncomfortable became his desire
to see the one who had whirled with
him in Light Horse" Jerry's coach.
81 wish to know how soon I am to
see your Mistress" he exclaimed I'M
pulsively, sitting up and striking his
companions arm by way Of emphasis.
To his surprise, the hand was dashed
away, and he distinctly heard the SOL
dier gasp. II beg your pardon" he
cried, fearing that he had given pain
with his eager strength.
"You startled me. I was half asleep"
stammered the other apologetcally
"Whom do you mean BY my mistressr'
"Her royal highnsss, Of course" said
Lorry impatiently.
T cannot say when you are to see
the princess" said his companion after
waiting so long that Lorry felt like
kicking him.
"Well, see here, my friend, DO you
know why agreed to leave that place
back theref said I wouldn't 90 away
from Graustark until I had seen her
II you fellows are spiriting me away
kidnapping me, as 1t were-I want q

against the wall beyond. The most DIFF
ficult task that he had encountered
grew from his efforts to close the gate
against the blast. He was about to
give up in despair when a hand was
laid on his shoulder and some ona
hissed in his startled ear:
"Sh! Not word!
His legs almost went from under his
body, so great was the shock and the
fear. Two strong hands Joined his
own in the effort to pull the door into
position, and he knew at once that they
belonged to the man who was to meet
him on the corner at the right of the
prison wall, He undoubtedly had tred
Of the delay and, feeling secure In the
darkness Of the storm, had come to
meet his charge, the escaping prisoner.
Their united efforts brought about the
desired result. and together they left
the prison behind, striking out against
the storm in all Its fury.
"You are late" called the stranger in
his ear.
"Not too late, am IT. he cried back,
clutching the others arm.

Captain Quinnox, is 1t your
"Have a care! The storm has ears
and can hear names," cautioned the
other. As rapidly as possible they
made their way along the black street,
almost a river with its sheet Of water.
Lorry had lost his bearings and knew
not whittier he went, trusting to the
guidance Of his struggling companion.
There seemed to be no end to their
journey, and he was growing weak be-
meath the exertion and the excitement.
"How far do we goT he cried at last.
"But few rods. The carriage Is at
the next corner"
where is the carriage to take mer'
he demanded.
81 am not at liberty to say"
"Am I to see her before go"
"That is something l cannot answer,
sir. My instructions are to place you
in the carriage and ride beside the
dri> cr until our destination is reached"
"Is 1t the castle?" cried the other
joyously.
ut is not the CASTLE" was the disap-
pointing answer.
At that moment they came upon
great dark hulk and heard the stamp
ing Of horses' hoofs close at hand. II
was so dark they could scarcely discern
the shape of the carriage, although
they could touch its side with their
hands.
A soldier stood in the shelter Of the
vehicle and opened the door for the
American.
Hurry! Get I'M" exclaimed Quin'
noX.
81 wish to know If this is liable tc
get her into trouble" demanded Lorry
pausing with one foot on the steps.
"Get inw commanded the soldier who
was holding the door, pushing him for
ward uneasily. He foundered into the
carriage, where all was dry and clean
In his hand he still carried the keys
and the lantern, the slide Of which he
had closed before leaving the prison
yard. He could not see, but he knew
that the trappings Of the vehicle were
superior. Outside he heard the soldier
who was preparing to enter, say:
"This carriage travels on most ur
gent business for her royal highness
captain. 1t Is not to be stopped"
A moment later he was inside and
the door slammed. The carriage rock

driver.

and restless. "We have q long and
