Anguish consolingly. There's evi
IDENTIFY no Guggenslocker here"
They strolled through the streets
near the hotel until after 6 o'clock.
wondering at the quaint architecture,
the pretty gardens and the pastoral at
mosphere that enveloped the city. Ev-
erybody was busy, contented, quiet and
happy. There was no hustle or strife.
no rush, no beggars. At 6 they saw
hundreds Of workingmen oil the streets,
going to their homes. Shops were
closed. and there came TO their ears
the distant boom OF cannon, evidently
fred from different points of the COM
pass and from the highland as well ~
the lowland.
The toy army is shooting OFF the
goUu night guns" speculated Anguish.
81 suppose everybody goes to bed
now"
Or 70 dinner" substituted Lorry.
and they returned to the Regengetz.
The dining hall was spacious and beau
tiful a mixture of the oriental and the
medieval. 1t rapidly filed
who fhe dickens can all these peo-
pie be? They look WELL" Anguish
whispered. as II he feared their near
est neighbors might understand his
English.
"fhey are unquestionably Of the
class in which we must expect TO find
the Guggenslockers."
Before the meal was over the two
strangers saw that they were attract
ing great deal OF attention from the
other guests of the house. The women
as well as the men were eying them
and commenting quite freely. II was
easy to see. Toward the end OF the
dinner several officers came in. and
the Americans took particular pains to
study them. They were clearly built
fellows, about medium height, wiry
and active. As a class the men ap-
peared to average feet inches in
height, some little taller, some a lit
tie shorter. The two strangers were
over six feet tall. broad shouldered
and athletic. They looked like giants
among these Graustark men.
They're not very big, but they look
as II they'd be nasty In a scrap" OBJ
served Anguish, unconsciously throw
ing out his chest
Strong as wildcats, I'll wager. The
women are perfect, though. Have you
ever seen a smarter set Of women,
HarryB
Never, never! A paradise of pretty
women. believe I'll take out nat
uralization papers"
When the two strangers left the din
ing room they were conscious that
every eye in the place was upon them,
We seem to be the Who'll eshow here,
Gren," said Anguish as they sat down
at one Of the tables in the garden.
Il guess Americans are rare"
i've found one fellow who can speak
German and French, and not one, ex-
cept our guard, who can talk English.
That clerk talks German fairly well.
! never heard such language as these
other people use. Say, old man, we'd
better make inquiry about our friends
tonight. That clerk probably won't be
on duty tomorrow"
"Well ask him before we 60 to bed"
agreed Lorry, and upon leaving the
brilliantly lighted garden they sought
the landlord and asked II he could tell
them where Caspar Guggenslocker
lived. He looked politely incredulous
and thoughtful, and then, with pro-
found regret. assured them he had
never heard the name. He said he had
lived In Edelweiss all his life and knew
everybody OF consequence in the town.
Surely there must be such people
here!" cried Lorry, almost appealingly.
He felt disheartened and cheated. An
guish was biting his lips.
"oh, possibly among the poorer class
es. II | were you, sir, should call on
Captain Dangloss, the chief of police.
He knows every soul in Edelweiss,
am positive | have never heard the
name. You will find the captain at the
tower tomorrow morning"
The two Americans went to bed, one
so dismayed by his disappointment
that he could not sleep for hours.
