Ogbot. OF one thing there could be no
doubt-LOrry was gone. Not knowing
where to turn or what TO do. Anguish
raced of TO the castle. his b~odyguard
having located him in the meantime.
he was more in need of their protec-
ton thar eve
At the castle gates he encountered a
party of raring A~xphainians. crazed
with anger over the flight of the man
whose life they had thirsted for so
ra%venously. Had he been unprotected
Anguish would have Jared badly al
their hands, for they were outspoken
In their assertions that he had aided
Lorry in the escape. One fiery little
fellow cast q 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 q battle with snowballs,
upon which the aggreSs0r blasphemed
In three languages and 800 gestures
Anguish and his men passed inside the
gates, which had been barred to the
others, and struck out rapidly for the
castle doors.
The Princess Yetiye was sleeping
soundly, peacefully, with a smile on
her lips, when her prime minister sent
an excited attendant to 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 summoned her maids.
Her uncle and aunt, the Countess
Dagmar (whose merry brown eyes
were so full of pretended dismay that
the princess could scarcely restrain g
smilel, and Gaspon. the minister Of
finance, We're awaiting her appearance.
She heard the counts story of the es-
cape, marveled at the prisoners au-
dacity and firmly announced that ev-
erything possible should be done to arp
prehend him. With a perpleXed frown
on her brow and u dubious twist to her
lips, she said:
Il suppose | must offer a rewardP'
Certainly" exclaimed her uncle.
about 80 gavyos, uncleT'
Fifty cried the two men, aghast.
Isn't that enough
For the murderer Of d %prince?' de-
manded Gaspon. 1T would be absurd,
your highness. He is a most important
person"
quite so. He is a most important
person. I think I'll offer 5000 gavvos."
More like it. He is worth that, ct
least agreed Uncle Caspar.
Beyond a doubt sanctioned Gas
pon.
Il am glad you do not consider me
extravaganza" she said demurely. You
may have the placards printed at once"
she went on. addressing the treasurer.
Say that a reward of 5000 gavvos
will be paid to the person who delivers
Grenfall Lorry to me"
Would it not be better to say de
iivers GrenfaIl Lorry to the towerY"
submitted Gaspon.
You may say to the undersigned
and sign my name," she said reflective
ly.
Every we'll, your highness. They
shall be struck off this morning"
'In large type, Gaspon. You must
catch him if you can" she added. "He
is a very dangerous man. and royalty
needs protection" With this wise bit
of caution she dismissed the subject
and began to talk of the storm.
AS the two young plotters were has
tening up the stairs later on an at
tendant approached and informed the
princess that Mr.. Anguish requested an
audience.
Conduct him TO my boudoir," she
said, her eyes sparkling with triumph.
In the seclusion of the boudoir she and
the countess laughed like children over
the reward that had been so solemnly
ordered.
"Fiye thousand %gavvos!" cried Dag
MIR, leaning back in her chair TO en-
phasize the delight she felt. What a
joke
Tap. tap. came a knock on the door.
and in the same instant it flew open.
for Mr.. Anguish was in a hurry. AS
he plunged into their presence a pair
OF heels found the floor spasmodically.
"Oh. | beg PARDON" he gasped as If
about TO fly. May l come in?"
mot unless you 20 outside. You
are already in, il seems" said the prin-
cess. advancing to meet him. The
countess was very still and sedate. II
am so glad you have come"
Heard about Lorry? The fool is
out and goner' he cried. unable to re-
strain himself. Without a word she
dragged him to the divan. and. be-
tween them. he soon had the whole
story poured into his ears. the princess
on u side, the countess on the other.
