Tt would depend on the time, SIT, perhaps"
 Do you love him?" asked.
 Not I, sir
 And you wish to serve the king"
 "Yes. sir
 Then tell him to meet you at the second milestone out of Zenda tomor- row evening at 10 o'clock. Say you'll be there and will walk home with him.
 Do you mean him harm, sir?''
 Not if he will do as bid him. But l think I've told you enough. my pretty maid. See that you do as I bid you. And, mind. no one is to know that the king has been here"
 spoke little sternly. for there is seldom harm in infusing a little fear into woman's liking for you. and I softened the effect by giving her q handsome present. Then we dined. and, wrapping my cloak about my face, with Fritz leading the way, we went downstairs to our horses again.
 It was but half past 8 and hardly yet dark. The streets were full for such a quiet little place. and could see that gossip was all agog With the king on one side and the duke on the other, Zenda felt itself the center of all Ruri- tania. We logged gently through the town, but set our horses to a sharper pace when we reached the open coun- try.
 You want to catch this fellow Jo. hann?' asked Fritz

lring our Samson. It is not enough, Fritz, to have no women in a house, though brother Michael shows some wisdom there. If you want safety. you must have none within fifty miles, :"
 ''None nearer than Strelsau, for in- stance" said poor Fritz, with love lorn sigh.
 We reached the avenue of the cha teau and were soon at the house. As the hoofs of our horses sounded on the gravel Sapt rushed out to meet us.
 Thank God, you're safe.' he cried. sHave you seen anything of them?"
 ''Of whom?" I asked. dismounting.
 He drew us aside that the grooms might not hear.
 Lad" he said to me. you must not ride about here unless with half a dozen of us. You know among our men tall young fellow. Bernenstein by name:'
 I knew him. He was fine, strap ping young man, almost of my height, and of light complexion.
 "ae lies in his room upstairs with a bullet through his arm"
 ''The deuce he doesr'
 After dinner he strolled out alone and went q mile or so into the wood, and as he walked he thought he saw three men among the trees. and one leveled a gun at him. He had no weap- on. and he started at q run back to- ward the house. but one of them fired, and he was hit and had much ado to reach here before he tainted. By good luck they feared to pursue him nearer the house."
 He paused and added:
 Lad. the bullet was meant for you"
 "It is very likely" said I. "and it's first blood to brother Michael"
 "I wonder which three it was" said Fritz.
 Well. Sapt." said. "I went out to- night for no idle purpose. ss you shall hear. But there's one thing in my mind.'
 What's that:' he asked
 "whr. this.- answered-"that shall i'll reauite the very great honors Ru-itania has done me if depart from 1t leaving one of those Six alive
 And Sapt shook my hand on that.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-03-19

Below the level of the ground In the castle, approached by flight of stone steps which abutted on the end of the drawbridge, were situate two small rooms, cut out of the rock itself. The outer of the two had no windows, but was always lighted with candles; the Inner had one square window, which gave upon the mont. In this inner room there lay always, day and night, three of the Six, and the instructions of Duke Michael were that on any at- tack being made on the outer room the three were to defend the door of 1t so long as they could without risk to themselves. But so soon as the door should be in danger of being forced then Rupert Hentzau or Detchard Gor one of these two was always there) should leave the others to hold 1t as long as they could and himself pass into the inner room and without more ado kill the king. who lay there, we'll treated, indeed, but without weapons and with his arms confined in fine steel chains, which did not allow him to move his elbow more than three inches from his shoulder. Thus be- fore the outer door were stormed the king would be dead. And his body :? For his body would be evidence as damning as himself.
 Nay, sir" said Johann, "his high ness has thought of that. While the two hold the outer room the one who has killed the king unlocks the bars in the square window they turn on a hinge). The window now gives no light, for its mouth is choked by a great pipe of earthenware, and this pipe, which is large enough to let pass through it the body of a man, passes into the moat, coming to an end i'm mediately above the surface of the water, 50 that there is no perceptible intersal between water and pipe. The king being dead, his murderer swiftly ties weight to the body and. dragging it to the window. raises it by pulley for lest the weight should prove too great Detchard has provided one) till it is level with the mouth of the pipe. He inserts the feet in the pipe and pushes the body down. Silently, with out splash or sound, it falls into the water and thence to the bottom of the moat, which is twenty feet deep there abouts. This done. the murderer cries loudly, 'Alrs well. and himself slides down the pipe: and the others, if they can and the attack is not too hot, run to the inner room and, seeking q moments delay, bar the door and in their turn slide down. And though the king rises not from the bottom. they rise and swim round 10 the other side, where the orders are for men to wait them with ropes. to haul them out, and horses. And here. If things go i'll, the duke will join them and seek safety by riding; but if all goes we'll they will return to the castle and have their enemies in trap. That, sir, is the plan of his highness for the disposal of the king in case of need. But it Is not to be used till the last, for, as we all know, he is not minded to kill the king unless he can. before or soon aft CT, kill you also, sir. Now, sir, have

throne, and that man ali inipostor. At best there would be none left to stand against him. I had begun to think that Black Michael was overfond of leav- ing the fighting to his friends. but now acknowledged that the brains, if not the arms, of the conspiracy were his.
 "Does the king know this:" l asked.
 'i and my brother" answered Jo- ham, put up the pipe under the or ders of my Lord of Hentzau. He was on guard that day, and the king asked my lord what 1t meant. Faith he an swered, with his airy laugh, its new improvement on the ladder of Jacob, whereby, as you have read, sire, men pass from earth to heaven. We thought it not meet that your majesty should go, in case, sire, you must go, by the common route. So we have made you a pretty private passage, where the vulgar cannot stare at you or incom- mode your passage. That. sire. is the meaning of that pipe And he laughed and bowed and prayed the kings leave to replenish the kings glass, for the king was at supper. And the king, though he is brave man, as are all of his house, grew red and then white as he looked on the pipe and at the merry devil who mocked him. An, sir, the fellow shuddered- -''it is not easy to sleep quiet in the castle of Zenda. for all of them would as soon cut q mans throat as play game at cards,i and my Lord Rupert would choose it sooner for q pastlme than any other
 The man ceased, and l bade Fritz take him away and have him carefully guarded, and, turning to him, added:
 If any one asks you if there is l prisoner in Zenda you may answer Yes But if any asks who the prison CT is, do not answer. For all my prom ises will not save you if any man here learns from you the truth as to the prisoner in Zenda. I'll kill you like q dog if the thing be so much as breathed within the house!'
 Then when he was gone looked at Sapt.
 ''It is hard nut" said I.
 ''So hard," said he, shaking his griz- zled head, that, as think, this time next year is like to find you still king of Ruritania!' and he broke out into curses on Michaers cunning.
 I lay back on my pillows.
 There seem to me- l observed, "to be two ways by which the king can come out of Zenda alive. One is by treachery in the dukes followers"
 You can leave that out" said Sapt.
 T hope not" I rejoined, because the other was about to mention Is by a miracle from heaven!"
