reached her horse. The groom helped her to mount.
She looked up to Mistitch and called to him gaily:
Nov for Slavna, Captain! And hurry, you'll be
left behind!''
Her wit was too quick for him. Max Holl-
brandt burst out laughing; Peter Vassip grinned.
What are you waiting for, Captain?" asked
Max. Your prisoners only too anxious to go
with you, you see!"

which made him forget his part.
Peter Vassp sprang forward and barred the door.
Mistitch raised his mighty

Captain-take fifty men in with you. The garri

Sophy heard and laughed. Even the troopers
began to laugh now Mistitch stood on the top of
the causeway, irresolute, baf1ed, furious.
But behind his stupidity lay the cunning astute-
ness of Stafnitz, the ingenious bit of deviry Mis-
titchs name awaited where his brain could not.
For the moment the Prince made little of the
crown which had become his; when he heard
Zerkovitchs news, his overpowering thought
that the woman he loved might be exposed to

have the truth out of him. But if, as the Prince
hardly doubted, he was making for Praslok, there

Relying Zerkovtchs information, he assumed
that they had not started from Savna till seven in
the morning. They had started at six. He reck-
oned also Zerkovitch's statement that they
only fifty strong. They were a hundred.
YET had he known the truth he could not have
used haste-and he would not have waited
for another man. He waited to tell no man in
Volseni the news about his father, except Luko-

behind him, he turned his head to Zerkovtch, who

Mistitch saw them coming and turned to his
troop; he had time for little speech-and Stafnitz
had taught him what to say: Men, you are
servants of the King, and of the King only. Not
even the Prince of Slavna command you against
the Kings orders. The Kings orders are that we
take Baroness Dobrava to Slavna, no matter who
resists. If need be- these orders stand even against
the Prince"
Stafnitz's soldiers-the men he petted, the men
who had felt the Princes stern hand-were only
too glad to hear it. To strike for the King and yet
against the hated Prince-it was luxury, happy

CHAPTER XVIII.
To the Faithful City

THE King had died yesterday-yet none had
i told his heir! Misttch had set out for
Dobrava. with fifty men to wait for the King
who was dead! The dead King would never go to
King at Praslok. Zerkovitchs news was enough
to raise the anger of a King-and Sergus bazed
with it. But more ardent still was his fearful
wrath as he thought of Sophy at Praslok, in the
power of Captain Hercules.
He had his guard of twenty mounted men with
him. With these he at once set FORTH bidding
Lukovtch collect all the men he could and follow
him speedily as possible. If Mistitch had really

them before there was time to saddle horse. If
the expedition was hostile one, the castle was
caught mapping in very truth!
Sophy stood forward pace in front OF her COM
panions; her hand rested the little revolver
which monseigneur had given her.
On came the company; the foremost file reached
within twenty yards of the causeway. There they
halted. Half of them disrnounted, each as

operation, leaving the remaining twenty five in
charge of all the horses. The seventy-fve took
position four deep on the road They separated,
now appeared. He rode to the foot of the cause
way, then dismounted and gave his horse to the
sergeant who attended him. His men followed and
drew up in the road, blocking the approach to the
castle.
Big Mistitch began to ascend the causeway a
broad smile on his face. 1t was great moment
for Captain Hercules-the day of revenge for
which he had waited in forced patience and dis
Greet unobtrusiveness 1t critical day too,

Sophy saw and knew. This must have been the
news that Zerkovitch carried that he had galloped
on to tell to the Prince at Volseni. Some event
some unknown and untoward turn of fortune-had
1oosed Misttch on them; that all she had time
to realize before Mistitch saluted her and spoke.

you would willingly obey His Majestys commands.
Here, by the way, is the written order. He pro-
duced the order the King had signed before his
death.
Sophy had been thinking Neither her courage
nor her cunning forsook her. She waved the doc
ument away. Il can take your word, Captain?

and unlooked-for harmonizing of their
duty and their pleasure. Their answer
ing cheer was loud and fierce. 1t
struck harsh on the ears of the adj
vancing Prince His face grew hard
and strained as he heard the cheer and
saw the solid body of men across his
path, barring access to his own castle.
And within yard or two of their ranks,
by the side of the road, sat the figure
which he knew so well and so well
loved.
Now Mistitch played his card-that
move in the game which Sophy's cool
submission to his demand had for the
moment thwarted, but to which the
Princes headlong anger and fear now
gave an opening opening which
Stafnitz had from the first foreseen. It
would need little to make the fiery
Prince forget prudence when he was
face to face with Mistitch. 1t was not
safe game for Mistitch personally
both Stafnitz and he knew that. But
Captain Hercules was confident. He
would not be caught twice by the
Volseni trick of swords! There was no
greater risk than such as the satisfac-
ton of his revenge, and the unstinted
rewards that his Colonel offered, made
it worth his while to accept and rem
dered grateful to his heart.
Sophy sat smiling. She would fain
have avoided the encounter, and had
shaped her maneuvers to that end. It
was not to be so, it seemed. Now she
did not doubt monseigneur' success.
But she wished that Zerkovitch had
not reached Vo1seni so quickly; that
the Prince had stayed behind his walls
till his plans were ready; and that she
was going prisoner to Slavna to see

out into the road.
