tanned about the Kings health the Prince requested
audience within the next two days; he had
considerations which it his duty to lay before
His Majesty and he firmly but respectfully claimed
the right of confidential communication with his
father that was essential to His MaJesty'S obtain

Stenovics plain enough, and the Prince did not
labor it. The letter ended there, with an express
sion of earnest concern for the Kings health.
There was word in it about starting on his
journey.
Then Markart told his story-not that he had
much to tell. In essence he added only that the
Prince purPosed to await the Kings answer at
Praslok. Nor to him had the Prince said word
about starting on his journey.
On this point Stenovlcs seized pursuant, no
doubt to the plan devised in that preliminary

would rise at her bidding and sweep down on Slavna
in rude warfare and mad bravery; the Sheepsklns
would come. following the Red Star The citizens
OF Slavna did not relish the prospect-at the best
mean blood and death let loose in the streets. A
stern ruler was better than civil war.
The troops of the garrison were no longer such
favorites as they had been; even Captain Hercules
subdued his demeanor (Which indeed had never
recovered from the chastisement of the Princes
sword) to a self-effacing discretion; he too in his
heart and in his heavy primitive brain had

perplexed, even veXed, but again he smiled He

deadly serious. oh, come, well-well, that's not
serious, Natural perhaps, but the Prince has

we'll send the Baroness hint-well tell her how

them answer his smile and accept his smoothing
away of the difficulty. 1t was all failure.
Il am bound to say, sir, that consider Baroness
Dobrava serious obstacle to His Royal Highness

StenOviCs.
