she wrong? Days of idleness are not always
the emptiest; life may Justify its haits our

her eager prizing and recording OF it, show well
the manner of woman that she washer

purple cloud, the sky beyond blue deepening

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

TT is name-day of the King of the ancient King
dom of kravonla and the capital city OF Slavna
is given over to festivities In His Majestys honor
Sophy de Gruche is new to Slavna and its peo-
pie, except to Marie Zerkovitch and the latter's
husband, proprietor of the leading newspaper in
kravonia. She has come to Slavna to find her
fortune and, being spirited English girl, of much
experience in Paris and elsewhere, she refuses with
much independence to be object of charity from
her friends. Fortune is not friendly at first, how
ever, and on this festal day Sophy has only few
shlngs and the fee from a couple OF French pupils
between her and dire want.
Sophy is watching the military parade, and lis
tening to the court gossip of Captain Markart
The latter hints of some grave scandals in imperial
affairs notably the evident existence of factions
some plotting for the elevation of the Kings son
by a morganatIc wife in place OF the legitimate
Prince.
The Prince is considered martinez by the
Slavna military, of whom he is garrison COM
mandant, and there is no small Directing when an
order is issued that all soldiers must remain at
barracks during this merry evening: Captain
Mistitch (nicknamed Captain g Hercules y, the
leader in mutnous talk, induces I.ieutenants
Rastatz and Sterkoff to Join him in defying the
order. and the three start out to find the Prince
loudly Boosting of what will happen when they
meet him.
They do meet him SOON Rastatz fees in terror
and Sterkoff conceals himself behind pillar, leav
ing Mistitch to make good his threats The latter
Prince sewers the tendons of Mistitch's wrist, and
is about to march him off to the guard house when
SterkoH springs out OF the darkness to stab the
Prince in the back
At that instant Sophy, who has been watching
the encounter from a window overhead, lets tall a
heavy bronze statue, which brushes the would-be
assassin to the ground.
Sophy receives her reward, the King appointing
her Keeper of the Tapestries, at four hundred
pounds year; but there is end of trouble over
Mistitchs proposed execution. The Prince is firm
in his intention, despite the protests of General
Stenovcs and Hercules's admirers; but finally
consents to reprieye his assaiant when the General
approves order for lot of cannon which will
give the Princes tower command Of the city. This
is a bitter potion for the anti-Prnce faction to
swallow, as Stenovics had refused the guns pre-
viously; but they have to do it to themselves
from the populace.
The King confers patent of nobility on Sophy
making her Baroness of Dobrava, as further recog-
nit ion of her services then, owing to the excite
ment of the day, falls in faint. These attacks
have become frequent, and grave alarm is felt.
Sophy goes to Prasok, the Princes country
estate, and there appointed lieutenant of the Vol
SEM artillery at the request of the rank and file

Prince TO go abroad to find fitting wife. The

Visitors to a quaint little church m

shape OF a high stool with a leather
top like a saddle. The parish clerk
shows not a little pride in this relic

turtles the country parsons were sc-
customed to spend much OF their time
hunting with their country squires
Oftentimes the fox got more attention
than the sermon on the following Sun
day. Such was the case with the par
son who left the saddle stool behind
him as a relic OF the days of fox hunt
ing parsons. He was good deal morn

In the hands of a friendly receiver
this car became a boon TO the capitol

served as a shifting rostrum from
which a deep-chested executive or a
mellifiuous Hawk often addressed ad-
