II have just joined an anti-kissing
club" said the beautiful girl.
why, do you believe kissing Is dan
gerous?" asked the man, according to
the Chicago Record-Herald.
1T depends on what you mean by
dangerous. II you mean to ask me
whether | am afraid of microbes, |
can say that l am not. | believe
great deal of this microbe talk is alb
solutely ridiculous. AS far as catch

We'll, IL you want to put 1t that
way you may" she returned.
But I wouldn't put 1t just that way.
May l show you how I would put lt!'

He gently placed one hand against
the back of her splendidly poised head,
placed the fingers of his other very
tenderly under her pretty chin, then
with deft movement which, as far
as she was concerned. was absolutely
painless, tilted her face upward and,
bending forward, completed the proc
ess with an ease and naturalness
that left her with absolutely no cause
for criticism After 1t was all over
he asked:
Wont you tell me now why you
Joined the anti-kissing club?"
Because because" she sighed.
there's such a thrill, you know, about
doing anything that would get you
into trouble If It were found out-and
then 1t gave me a chance to introduce
the subject, too. How as 1t that you

seventeen or eighteen, tall, slim,

tween two men-at-arms, who held his
ristS firmly on either side. His hands
were chained together, and from be-
tween them dangled spiked ball that
clanked heavily on the floor as he
stumbled forward rather than walked
into the room. He had black hair
that waved from his forehead in a
backward sweep, nose of slightly
Roman shape, which, together with
his bold eagles eyes, had obtained
him the name Of the Spar or Sparrow
hawk.
Werner Won Orseln turned to his
guests and said, This Sparhawk is a
little Dane We took on our last foray
to the north. 1t is only in that direc-
ton We can lead the foray, since you
have grown SO law-abiding and strong
in Plassenburg and the Mark. His
uncles were all killed in the defense
of Castle Lynar, on the Northern Half.
We know not which of these had also
the claim OF fatherhood upon him.
At all events, his grandad had a man
or there, and came from the Jutland
sand-dunes to build a castle upon the
Baltic shores. But he had better have
stayed at home, for he would not pay

splitting Sparhawk, whom our master
would not let us kill, and whom now
we keep with clipped wings for our
sport"
The lad listened with erected head
and naughty eyes to the tale, but
answered not word.
Now" cried Werner, with his cup
in his hand and his brows bent upon
the youth, dance for us as you used
upon the Bahic, when the maids came
in fresh from their firing and the
newest kirtles were donned. Dance,
say! Foot it for your life!"
The lad Maurice Won Lynar stood
with his bold eyes upon his torment
ors. "Curs of Bor-Russia," he said at
last, in speech that trembled with
anger, you may vex the soul Of a
Danish gentleman with your asper-
sions, you may wound his body. but
you will never be able to stand UP to
him in battle. You will never be
worthy to eat or drink with him, to
take his hand in comradeship, or to
ride tilt with him. Pigs of the sly
you are, man by man of you-Wends

Drop, and be cursed In your low

"Untruss my hands and let me loose

"You will not dancer" said Werner,

Down with the ball, Hans

"Ware toes, Spsrhawk!" cried the
soldiers in chorus, but at that mo-
ment, suddenly kicking out as far an
his chains allowed, the boy took the
STOPPING lout on the face. and In
continently widened the superficial
area OF his mouth. He went over On
his back amid the uproarious laughter
of his fellows.
The fellow rose, spluttering an
grily.

"Ill mark his pretty feet for him.

A couple Of his companions took

that he could not move his limbs, and

CHAPTE Err |.
The Hall of the Guard.


Loud rang the laughter in the hall
of the men-at-arms at Castle Kerns-
berg. There had come an embassy
from the hereditary Princess of Plass-
enburg, recently established upon the
throne Of her ancestors, to the Ouch
ess Joan of Hohenstein ruler of that
cluster of hill statelets which is called
collectively Masurenland, and which
includes, besides Hohenstein, the
original Eagles Eyrie, Kernswald
also, and Marienfeld
Above, in the hall of audience the
ambassador, one Leopold Won Des-
sauer, great lord and most learned
councillor Of state, sat alone with the
young duchess. They were eating of
the baked meats and drinking the
good Rhenish up there. But, after all,
it was much merrier down below with
Werner Won Orseln, Alt Picker, Peter
Balta, and John of Thorn, though
what they ate was mostly but plain
Ox-fesh, and their drink the strong
ale native to the hill lands, which i.
called Wendsh mead.
Get you down, Captains Jorian and
Boris" the young duchess had COM
manded, looking very handsome and
naughty in the pride Of her twenty
one years, her eight strong castles,
and her two thousand men ready to
rise at her word; down to the hall,
where my officers send round the was
sail. If they do not treat you well,
cen come up and tell it to me-"
Good" had responded the two sol
diers of the Princess of Plassenburg,
turning them about as II they had
been hinged on the same stick, and
starting forward with precisely the
shame stiff hitch from the halt, they
made for the door
But stay" Joan of Hohenstein had
said, ere they reached it, there are
couple of rings My father left me
one or two such. Fit them upon your
fingers and when you return give
them to the maidens of your choice"
And with their rings upon their lit
tie fingers the two burly captains went
down the narrow stair Of Castle
Kernsberg Being arrived at the hall
beneath they soon found themselves
the center Of hospitable circle. Gruff,
bearded Wendish men were these Of
ficers of the young duchess; not a
butterfly youngling nor courtly car
pet knight among them, but men tan
ned like shipmen of the Baltic, sol
diers mostly who had served under
her father Henry, foraging upon occa-
sion as far as the Mark in one direc-
ton and into Bor-Russia in the other,
men grounded and compacted after
the hearts of Jorian and Boris.
It was small wonder that among
such congenial society the ex-men-at-
arms found themselves presently very
much at home. Scarcely were they
seated when Jorian began to brag
of the gift the duchess had given him
for the maiden of his troth.
"And Boris here, that hulking CO.
bold. that Hans .Klapper upon the
bousetops, had well-nigh spoiled the
lest: for when her ladyship asked him
a second time in her sweet voice for
the name Of his 'betrothed.' he must
needs lay his tongue to Gretchen
instead of 'Katrin,' as he had done at
the flrst!"
Werner Won Orseln, the eldest and
gravest of all, glanced round the full

circle of his mess. Then he looked
back at the two captains of the en-
bassy guard Of Plassenburg with a
plying glance.
And you lied about your sweet
hearts to the Duchess Joan" he said
"Ha, ha! Yes! trow yes" quoth
Jorian jovially. Wine may be dear
but this ring will pay the sweets of
many a night"

SIGNS OF WAR.
Russia Using Her influence to Pre-
vent Rupture.

PARIS. Feb. ZS.-Ine munster OF
war in response to Il question in the
chamber of deputies stated that in the
event of Il var the deputies and sena-
tors belonging to the reserves would
join their colors on the eighth day of
mobilization.
The government is preparing a
scheme for the organization in the
event of a call to arms. The announce
ment has caused Il big sensation here.
st. Petersburg dispatches say that
Russia is using all her influence at
Berlin to prevent IA rupture between
France and Germany. Her acton has
been taken ut the instance of the
French government, as it is apparently
convinced that Germany proposes to
persist in her attitude on the Moroccan
question even to the point of provok-
ing war. On account of the close rela-
tons existing between the courts of
Berlin and st. Petersburg it is believed
in France that Russia will have more
influence upon Emperor William than
any other power.
