Wherever the tall, distinguished
Americans walked they formed the
center of observation and were the
cause of comment that bore unmistaka-
BILE signs of admiration. They bowed
pleasantly to many of those who passed
them and received in return gracious
and profound recognition. Military men
saluted courteously, the women stared
modestly and prettily, perhaps covet-
ously; the merchants and citizens In
general bowed and smiled welcome
that could not have been heartier. The
strangers remarked the absence Of We
hicles on the main streets. There were
pack mules and horses, human carriers.
both male and female, but during the
entire morning they saw not more than
six or eight carriages. Vehicles were
used solely by the quality and as a
means of transportation for their per-
sons only. Everybody. with the few
exceptions mentioned, walked or rode
horseback. The two friends were de-
lighted with the place, and Anguish ad-
vocated q sojourn Of several weeks,

visit the royal grounds In the after
noon, provided there was no prohibi-

next day. A gendarme who spoke Ger

could enter the palace park If they OBJ

steward, who might be found at any
time In his home near the gates.
They were strolling leisurely toward
the hotel, for the moment forgetting
their quest in this strange, sunny land,
when they espied carriage, the most
conspicuous Of any they had seen.
The white horses were gayly capari-
soned, the driver and the footman be-
side him wore rich uniforms, the ve-
hicle itself cleaned and glistened with
gold and silver trimmings. A short
distance behind rode two young SOL
diers, swords to their shoulders, scab-
bards clanking against their stirrups.
Each was attired In the tight red trou-

"Well. we'll search awhile for our
selves" declared Anguish stubbornly,
not at all satisfied.
You will be wasting your time," said
the chief meaningly.
We've plenty to waste" retorted the
other.
After few moments they departed,
Baron Dangloss accompanying them to
the gate and assuring them that he and
his men always would be at their com.
maud. His nation admired the Ameri'
can people, he warmly declared.
"That old codger knows our people,
and I'll bet thousand on it." said
Harry angrily when they had gone
some little distance down the street
Then he told of the queer exposure
Dangloss had unwittingly made. Lor.
ry, more excited than he cared to show,
agreed that there was something very
suspicious about this new discovery.
They walked about the quaint town
for an hour or two, examining the
buildings. the people and the soldiery
with deep interest. From the head Of
the main street, Castle avenue, they
could plainly see the royal palace, near
ly mile away. Its towers and tur-
rets. gray and gaunt, ran up among the
green treetops and were outlined plain
ly against the yellow hills. Countless
houses studded the steep mountain
slope, and many people were discerned
walking and riding along the narrow,
ledgelike streets which wound toward
the summit, far up in the clouds. Clear
ly and distinctly could be seen the grim
monastery. perched at the very pima
Gle Of the mountain, several miles
away. Up there it looked bleak and
cold and uninviting, in great contrast
to the loveliness and warmth Of the
valley. Down below the grass was
moist and soft, trees were approaching
the stage where yellow and red tints
mingle with the rich green, flowers
were blooming, the land was redolent
Of the sweet fragrance of autumn, the
atmosphere warm, clear and invigorat-
ing. 1t was paradise surmounted by
desOlation. drear and deadening.

Each day she complained that his love

And she sighed to be loved as he loved her
Of old
She envled her ne!ghbors and murmured:

For him that so loved her; in many glad

She showed that she thought him exalted

She hattered him fondly; she watched with
glad eyes
To see him approaching, to greet him at
might:
She brought his cigar and she gave him a
light:
When he made mistake as the wtsest may
do,
1t was never his fault, that she told him
she knew.
