Soon bright little blaze Of light
crossed the basement opening. Then
! it returned. crossing 4 second time and
third. al was still again. The soft
shuttle Of a foot, the rustic Of arbor
vines, and the form Of man crawled
up to the window. With inconceivable
stealth and carcfulness it glided
through the aperture, followed By a
companion.
Lorry and Anguish were at the open
ing q second or two later, lying fat on
their stomachs and listening for sounds
from within The dim light was still
there, the window was open and there
was q sound Of whispering. Lorry
raised his head and peered through,
taking calculations while the light
made it possible. He saw an open door
on the opposite side Of the loWSoom,
with steps beyond leading upward.
Between the window and the door there
were no obstacles. Up those steps
he saw three men creep, the leader
carrying the dim light The door was
left open, doubtless to afford unim-
peded exit from the building in case
of emergency. Harry Anguish touched
Lorry's arm.
81 took the two pistols from that
Vienna man out there. We may need
them. Here is one for yourself. Go
first, Lorry," he whispered.
| Lorry stuck the revolver in his coat
pocket and gently slid through the win
dow to the floor below. His friend fol-
lowed, and they paused to listen. TAX

plain his motive. No one knew a Mi
chael, who might have been inadvert-
entity addressed as your" possible
"highness." The greatest wonder reign
ed. Vexation, uneasiness and perplex-
ity existed everywhere.
Standing there with her head on her
aunt's shoulder, her face grave and
troubled, the princess asked:
"Why should they seek to abduct
me? Was it to inprison or to kill me:
Oh, Aunt Yvonne, have I not been good
to my people? GOD knows have done
all that I can! I could have done nc
more. Is it conspiracy to force me
from the throne? Who can be Sc
cruel?"
And no one could answer. They
could simply offer words Of comfort
and promises Of protection. Later IL
the day gruff Dangloss marched in ano
apolosized to the Americans for MS
suspicious concerning them, implorine
their assistance in running down the
chief villain. And as the hours went
by Count Halfont came in and, sitting
beside Grenfall, begged his pardon and
asked him to forget the deception thai
had been practiced in the United
States. He explained the necessity fol
travelling incognito at that time. After

enthusiasm.
You are the real hero, Harry. You

not allow you or anybody to give NE

"Whose plan was it to kill those
men!" cried Lorry, suddenly sitting up
right.
"Everybody's, l fancy. They didn't
consult me, though, come to think of it.
All, here is her royal highness''
The princess and Aunt Yyonne were
at his side again, while Count Caspar
was coming rapidly toward them.
you must not sit up, Mr.. Lorry, y
began the princess, but he was cry
ing:
did they make a confession, Har-
ry?'
Il don't know. Did they, Unc-Count
Balfont? Did they confess? Great
heavens, I never thought Of that be-
fore"
what was there to confess?" asked
the count, taking Lorry's hand kindly.
s'They were caught in the act. My
dear sir, they were not even tried"
"T-thought your police chief was such
a shrewd man." cried Lorry, angrily.
"What's that?" asked gruf voice,
and Baron Dangloss was member of
the party, red and painting.
Don't you know you should not have
killed those men? demanded Lorry.
They surveyed him in amazement, ex-
cept Anguish, who had buried his face
in his hands dejectedly.
"And, sir, I'd like to know why not?'
clustered Dangloss.
.:And, sir, I'd like to know, since you
have shot the only beings on earth who
knew the man that hired them, how in
the name of your alleged justice you
are going to apprehend him" said
Lorry, sinking back to his pillow, ex-
hausted.
No reserve could hide the corsterna-
ton, embarrassment and shame that
overwhelmed q very worthy but very
impetuous nobleman, Baron Jasto Dan
gloss, chief of police in Edelweiss. He
could only sputter his excuses and
withdraw, swearing to catch the arch
conspirator or to die in the attempt.

dcnce' had kept MN from running
sluarely into them. They were going
toward the left, and he realized that
they were now approaching the prln-
cess room. How he came to be ahead
Of them he could not imagine. Again
he felt the door move slightly as be
pressed against it. The necessity for a
partial recovery Of his composure be-
fore the next and most important step
impelled him softly to enter the room
for an instant's breath.
Holding to the door, be stood inside
and drew himself 10 his full height,
taking long end tremulous breath.
There was no light in the room, but
through the door crack to his left came
dim, broad streak. He now knew
where be was. This room was next to
that In which the princess slept, for
had he not seen the light from her
window? Perhaps he was now in the
room Of the Countess Dagmar. Next
door! Next door! Even now the dar-
ing Geddos and Ostrom were crawling
toward the bed Of the ruler Of Grau-
stark, not twenty feet away. His
first impulse was to cross and open the
door leading to the next room, sur
missing that it would be unlocked, but
be remembered Anguish, who was
doubtless, by this time, stealing up the
stairs. They must not be separated,
for it would require two steady, cool
heads to deal with the villains. Itwas
not one mans work. AS he turned to
leave the room he thought how Won
derfully we'll they had succeeded in
the delicate enterprise so far
His knees struck the door, and there
was a dull thump, not loud in reality,
but like the report Of gun to him. A
sudden rustic in the darkness Of the
room, and then sleepy voice, soft and
quick, as Of q woman awakening with
a start:
"Who is it?'
His heart ceased beating, his body
grew stiff and &mmovable. Again the
voice, touch o. alarm in it now:
"Is that you, Dannox?'
She spoke in German, and the voice
came from somewhere in front and to
his right. BE could not answer, could
not move. The paralysis Of indecision
was upon him.
How is 1t that the outer door is
open"
This time there was something like
q reprimand in the tones, still low.
lie almost could see the wide open,
searching eyes.
