CHAPTER XIV.

Waiting again. waiting, for what we
knew not, save that the habit of inaction
seemed to have fastened upon us, leaving
us idle while the days dragged unfortunately
by Perhaps 1t was the reaction from our
time of stress and excitement, perhaps 1t
was a sort of maze. stupor following
upon the sudden upsettng. in so tragic
manner our carefully laid plans and con-
fident expectations. l know that we all
went about DULY. taking little interest in
what we did and that the future seemed
hung with a curtain which we dared not or
lacked the energy to pull aside.
We spoke to the Princess Eleanor of our
discussion relative to her prospective move
ments. and urged her TO return to America.
where she might, among her old friends
and associations the sooner rid herself of
the pail of tragedy and ill-fortune which
had so weighed her down. but the princess.
like all. seemed strangely apathetic and
unwilling to bestir herself. She put US off
with promises to think OF the natter soon,
TO wait till she was fully rested, that she
was not yet prepared to move.
Meanwhile l met her often, as be-
fore. In the garden. and we talked
together of the past, and of the fuller
news that came to Colonel Won Altdorf
day by day in dispatches or letters bearing
upon the conditions in what had been No

The late prince. We learned. had been

quietly inferred among his fathers in the
great cathedral at Novodni. This was done
partly by orders from the white throne,
partly because the Novodnians sobered after
their debauch OF rioting and bloodshed. de-
sired that their late ruler should rest be-
fittingly and in dignity.
OF Denis Mallory we learned nothing
more. The disturbed conditions in the
capital made any careful investigation i'm
possible. Indeed, all our news came piece

full souls left alive had fed for safety. 1t
seemed that he must have been buried
along with the other victims of that cow
ardly attack in some unmarked grave
out. All, well, 1t was a soldiers grave, dig
nified by what rested within it. 1t was
such he would have chosen, I think.
His monument lay In few hearts and
memories / fancy we all envied him a
little.
AS for the puppet leader of the uprising,
the tool of an ill-concealed hand, he was,
so we learned. In Moscow, ostensibly in
consultation with the force that had raised
and directed him. actually a prisoner held
In safe view till all danger from him should
be at an end. till Novodnia should be Sc
curely established as a nameless province
of her greater sister state.
OF all these matters we talked at length
ing in the old garden, but still the princess
would speak no word of Denis Mallory,
only listened with averted face when
talked Of him, save that one day-it was
when we learned, through dispatches to
Col. Won Altdorf. that nothing more was
known of him. that he must have been OBJ

soul-and how Novodnia is Novodnia no
more-and well served, too, for breeding
such swine!
"Ah, but there's one thing can tell that
may be news to you, Teddy lad Our old
friend Won Steinbrucke turned up here-I
would say there in Novodni-and took an
other hand in things. So you didn't finish
him after all, though, by my faith, you left
him a remembrance! The man wore a
great bandage about his neck to the mo-
ment he ded-for he did die at the last, but
that comes later-and they said your point
must have cut his palate the root of his
tongue for he couldn't talk, only made
queer beast noises. Oh, yes, Steinbrucke
paid up!
But ah, Teddy, Teddy when I fall to
thinking of those of Novodnians and
of what they did, I see scarlet. I've fought,
as you know, in many queer corners Of the
earth, and I've seen my share Of blood and
cruelty. I've seen those Latin Americans
mob a president whom they didn't fancy
but he generally deserved 1t. I've seen Chi
nese drag foreigner out of his house and
tear him to bits-but they thought they had
reasons. He was an enemy. What I'd never
seen before was a mans own friends desert
him, go over to the enemy, shoot him.
stone him. not because they'd anything
against him, but because 1t was plain that
the enemy must win, anyhow, and they
wanted to be on the safe side. Sheer
cowardice, Ted but such contemplate
cowardice!
AYE they outwitted us, George and his
crowd. though they did 1t through the
treachery Of our own men. They made a
forced march one night and in the morn
ing they were In Novodni. The garrison had
surrendered with never a shot fired! They
came swarming and hooting about the
palace, soldiers and civilians men, women
and children. calling for the prince. and
oh, lad, lad, the Life Guards ran out of their
barracks, down by the palace gate. and
Joined them! The Life Guards! Why, Prince
Karl knew personally every man in the
regiment, helped them out of their little
scrapes, gave them wedding presents, stood
godfather for their brats All, that was the
bitterest part Of 1t all! We knew the thing
was all over. then, but the prince would go
out on the steps Of the palace and try to
speak, and we went with him, dozen of
us. You know what happened. The mob
came up at US, a great wave Of Them and
we lasted only few moments. The prince
wouldn't lift hand. He had no weapon,
but stood there. bareheaded. hands clasped
before him. till bullet from below finished
him. Thank God, he died before they got
their hands upon him.. for we had been

swords till they finally trampled under.
And here's where Won Steinbrucke comes
in. He was at the very head of the mob as
it came up the steps Cad, he was fairly
frothing at the mouth to get revenge for
that bandaged neck of his. Some one else
engaged him first and l saw no more of
him for a few seconds, for l was, as you
may say, busy. But directly he whirled
about, just before me, with sort of snarl
and made at the prince. oh, well, 1 won't
dwell on it. I finished your work, Ted, and
then somebody caught me knock over the
crown, and l dropped upon the prince s
body. He'd been done for while l spitted

went away-to burn some public buildings,

on the steps. 1t seems that some we'll

then made an end of myself. But her hus-

docs Won Altdorf still talk of his Fate?
What a hand she played, Teddy boy! I've

upon each others shoulders-by way of eX
hibiting their pleasure-while l was pump
ing at Won Altdorf's arms, and demanding
how he had ever dared to do it.
But after the lovers had gone away, with
their smiles and their glad eyes, down
among the trees and shrubs, the Princess
Eleanor sat for long time with her hands
over her face, and her lips quivered little
when she bade me adieu. Poor lady! her
desolate plight must have come in upon
her most sorely when she saw the happy
love light in other eyes.

where the afternoon mail lay spread, and

DEATH OF MAX O'RELL
THE WELL-KNoWN LITTERATEUR
PASSES AWAY AT PARIS.
Had Been Ailing Several Months-Had
Operation Performed Some
Time Ago.

Paul Blouet. known throughout the
world by his pen name of MAX O'Rell,"
died in Paris last night. He had been all
ing several months. and never recovered
entirely from the effects of an operation
performed some time ago in New York.
Born in Brittany. France. March 2. 1s4S.
NJ Blouet was educated in Paris and took
his degree OF bachelor of arts in 1854. He
received a commission in the French army
In 1859. fought in the Franco russan war.
was made prisoner at Sedan September
8. 1870; fought against the commune, was
severely wounded and was pensioned.
Became Newspaper Correspondent.
He went to England as a newspaper cor
respondent in 1873; was appointed head
French master of st. Pauls School, Lon
don. in 1876, and resigned his mastership
in 1884.
In 1888 he published John Bull and His
Island" which took London and Paris by
storm. 1t was soon translated into English.
and also into most European languages
and several Asiatic tongues. In 1884 he

Translated by His Wife.
All the works Of NJ. Blouet have been
translated into English by his wife. Sew
eral orders. French and otherwise, have
been conferred on him. During the years
1887. 1883, 1889 and 1890 he gave lectures
in the united kingdom and in America. In
1891 he started on two years tour around
the world, during which he gave 446 lee
lures in the United States, Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand and South Africa.
One Of his favorite lectures was The
Gospel of Cheerfulness," as exeinplifed by
the habits and disposition of the French
people, in which he commended that the real
Frenchman is not known to the English;
that the Englishman gets his ideas of the
French from what passes on the boule-
wards and from literature, because the
French only admit their intimate friends
to their homes. while French literature
deals with exceptions and not real repre-
sentative Frenchmen-the small landowner,
deeply attached to his country and his cot
tage.
