CHAPTER XXI.
A PeriIous Honeymoon.


Never was day so largely and glo-
r;ouslv blue since CORTLAND was
.itv as the first morning of the mar
ried life of Maurice and Margaret Won
Iynar. Count and Countess Won Loen.
The summer floods had subsidized, and
the tawny dye had clean gone out OF
the ALA. which was now as clear as
aouamarine, and laved rather than
dretted the dark green piles of the
Summer Palace.
The Processes ESQ they said with
out) were more than ever inseparable.
They we're constantly talking conf
dentially. together, for all the world
like schoolgirls with q secret.
There is something toward to-
dav." said a decent widow woman VINO

Dor. "My son, who as you know is
chorister, is gone to practice the
Wedding Hymn at the cathedral. l am

will not miss it, whatever 1T is. Fer
haps they are going to make the
Princess Joan do penance for her
fault, in white sheer with candle
in her hand a yard long! That would
be rare sport. would not miss it for
so much as four farthings!"
And the choristers mother hobbled
off, telling everybody she met the
same story. And so in half an hour
the news had spread all over the city,
and there began to be markings OF
quite a respectable crowd in the Dom
Platz of CORTLAND.
1t was half past eleven when the
archers of the guard appeared at the
entrance of the square which leads
from the palace. Behind them, RANK
upon rank could be seen the lances OF
the wild Cossacks of Prince Ivan's es
cort who had remained behind when
the Muscovite army went back to the
Russian plains Their dusky goat S
hair tents, which had long covered
the banks of the ALA, had now beer
struck and we're laded upon baggage
horses and sumpter mules.
Meanwhile, in the river palor OF thu
Summer Palace, the two Pr1ncesse
were talking together even as the pee
pie had said. The Princess Margare

may stave off with this. 1t is the
poor best we can do. Lie down, will
call Thora. She is staunch and fully
to be trusted"
The Princess Margaret went to the
inner door and clapped her hands
sharply.
The fair-haired Swedish maiden
came running to her. She had been
waiting on such a signal.
''Thora," said her mistress in a quick
whisper, 1--WE must put off this mar
riage. I would sooner die than marry
Ivan. You have that drug you spoke
of-that which gives the appearance

look at her mistress to obtain permits
