exclaimed Count Marlanx.
ask Colonel Braze to report
to me at the eastern gate
with detail Of picked troopers-a hun
dred of them. / will meet him there In
half an hour" He gave other sharp,
imperative commands, and in the twin
king of an eye the peaceful atmos-
phere was transformed into the turbu-
lent, exciting rush of activity. The sig
nificance of the fires seen in the hills
could not be cheaply held. Instant ac-
ton was demanded. The city was fill
ed with the commotion of alarm; the
army was brought to its feet with
Jerk that startled even the most am
bilious.
The first thing that General Marlanx
did was to instruct Quinnox to set a
yigilant watch over Baldos. He was
not to be arrested, but it was under
stood that the surveillance should be
but little short of incarceration He
was found at the barracks shortly after
the report concerning the signal fires
and told in plain words that General
MarIanx had ordered guard placed
over him for the time being, pending
the result of an investigation. Baldos
had confidently expected to be thrown
into dungeon for his affront. He did
not know that Grenfall Lorry stood
firm in his conviction that Baldos was
no spy and was supported by others in
high authority.
Marlanx was bottling his wrath and
holding back his revenge for a distinct
purpose. Apart from the existence Of
a strong. healthy prejudice in the
guards favor, what the old general be-
lieved and what he could prove were
two distinct propositions. He was
crafty enough, however, to take advan-
tage Of a condition unknown to BeV-
erly Calhoun, the innocent cause of all
his bitterness toward Baldos.
AS he FASTENED from the council
chamber his eyes swept the crowd of
eager, excited women in the grand hall.
From among them he picked Beverly
and advanced upon her without regard
for time and consequence. Despite her
animation he was keen enough to see
that she was sorely troubled. She did
not shrink from him, as he had half
expected, but met him with bold dis
dain In her eyes.
| This is the work Of your champion, .

other than her own. Il prophesied 1t.

piilar they saw Baldos as he paced
steadily past the castle on patrol, with
Haddan at his side. Dreamily the
watchers IN the cool balcony looked
down upon the sonber park and its
occasional guardsman. Neither was In
the mood to talk. As they rose at last
to &c to their rooms something whizzed
through the air and dropped with a
slight thnd In the center Of the balcony.
The two young women started back in
alarm. a faint light from Beverly's
window altered across the stone floor.
ssDon't touch it. Beverly!" cried the
princess as the girl started forward
with an eager exclamation. But Bev-
arly had been thinking Of the very OBJ
ject that now quivered before her in
the dull light, saucy, aggressive and
jaunty as it was the night when she
saw it for the first time.
A long, Slim red feather bobbed to
and fro as if saluting her with soldierly
fidelity. It's base was an orange, into
which it had been stuck by the hand
that tossed it from below. Beverly
grasped it with more ecstasy than wis
dom and then rushed to the stone rail-
ing, Yetiye looking on in amazement.
Diligently she searched the ground be-
low for the man who had sent the red
message, but he was nowhere in sight.
Then came the sudden realization that
she was revealing most unmaidenly
eagerness. to him as well as to the
princess, for she did not doubt that he
was watching from the shadows be-
low She withdrew from the rail in
confusion and fed to her bedchamber,
followed by her curious companion.

ssAh. isn't this a night for lovers?' he
went on, changing tack suddenly. ITO

moon is blind, is joy that love alone
provides. Come, fair mistress, share
this JOY with me-"
With that his hand closed over her
soft arm above the elbow, and she
twas drawn close to his side. Beverly's
first shock of revulsion was succeeded
BY the distressing certainty that Bal
dos was a helpless witness of this in
dignity She tried to jerk her arm
away, but he held it tight.
"Release my arm, STRIP she cried,
hoarse with passion.

she fared, stopping decisiyely.

"Baldosr' she called, without sec

with a rush just as Marlanx released
her arm and fell away with NUT

Baldos. She saw through the Iron
Counts ruse as if by divine inspiration
and proated where he least expected
her to excel in shrewdness. Marlanx
had deliberately invited the assault by

snare Baldos into his own undoing,
and a horrible undoing 1t would have
been. One blow would have secured
The desired result Nothing could have

ITO die is easy, your highness You

whose face was white and drawn.

such pleasant sacrifice" observed
Count Marlanx, covering his failure
skiIlfully. I,ater on. perhaps, she may

Beverly gave him a look of scorn,
but without seconds hesitation
placed the missive in Yetive's hand.
The Iron Counts jaw dropped, and he
moistened his lips with his tongue two
or three times. Something told him
that a valuable chance had gone.
81 shall be only too happy to have
your highness read the result of my
first lesson in the Graustark language"
she said, smiling gayly upon the count.

count. ssWhat is it2'
Other officers of the guard and few
noblemen from the castle came up,
out of breath.
I'VE have discerned signal fires in
the hills, your excellency," said one of
the men from the fort. s'There is a
circle of fires, and they mean some
thing important For half an hour they
have been burning near the monastery;
also in the valley below and on the
mountains to the south"
There was an instant of deathly 81
lence, as if the hearers awaited crash.
Marlanx looked steadily at Beyerly's
face. and she saw the triumphant, ac-
cusing CLEAN in his eyes. Helplessly
she stared into the crowd of faces.
Her eyes fell upon Baldos, who sud
denly appeared in the background. His
face wore a hunted, imploring look.
The next instant he disappeared among
the shadows. ,-

which struck speaker or listener as log
Zealand there were giggles which
completely simplif1ed the situation.
Beverly thrust the slim red feather
into her hair and struck an attitude
that would have set Baldos wild with
joy if he could have seen it. The next
day, when she appeared in the park, the
feather stood up defantly from the
band of her sailor hat, though woman
ly perverseness impelled her to ignore
Baldos when he passed her on his way
to mess
The Duke Of Mizrox came into the
city hours after the time set for his ar
rival. 1t was quite dark when the es
cort sent by Colonel Quinnox drew up
at the castle gates with the visitor.
The duke and his party had been rob
bed by brigands in the broad daylight
and at point not more than five miles
from Edelweiss And thus the mystery
Of the signal fires was explained. Count
plant look he received from Beverly
Calhoun when the dukes misfortunes
were announced. Shameless as it may
seem, she rejoiced exceedingly over the
acts of the robbers.
Mizrox announced to the princess
and her friends that he was not an
emissary from the Axphainian govern
ment Instead he was but little less
than fugitive from the wrath of
Volga and the crown adherents. Ear
lier in the week he had been summon
ed before Volga and informed that his
absence, for a few months at least,
from the principality was desirable.
The privilege was allowed him of Sc
lecting the country which he desired to
visit during that period, and he coolly
chose Graustark. He was known to
have friendly feelings for that state,
but no objections were raised. This
friendship also gave him a welcome in
Edelweiss Mizrox plainly stated his
position to Yetive and the prime min
lister. He asked for protection, but de-
cIined to reveal any Of the plans then
maturing in his home country. This
reluctance to become traitor, even
though he was not in sympathy with
his sovereign, was respected by the
princess. He announced his willing
ness to take up arms against DAVIS
bergen, but would in no way antago-
nize Axphain from an enemy's camp.
The duke admitted that the feeling
in Axphain's upper circles was ex-
tremely bitter toward Graustark. The
old time war spirit had not died down.
Axphain despised her progressive
neighbor.
Il may as well inform your highness
that the regent holds another and a
deeper grudge against Graustark," he
said in the audience chamber, where
were assembled many Of the mobiles Of
the state, late on the night of his ar
rival. "She insists that you are har-
boring and even shielding the pretend
er to our throne, Prince Frederic. 1t
is known that he is in Graustark, and,
moreover, it is asserted that he Is IN
direct touch with your government"
Yetiye and her companions looked at
one another with glances Of compre-
hension. He spoke in English now for
the benefit OF Beverly Calhoun, an In
ferested spectator, who felt her heart
leap suddenly and swiftly into violent
insurrection.
