But all their careful plans and
scrupulous intents were in a moment
cast to the winds by the urgency OF
the need Expecting to find them
selves instantly captives, they found
themselves instead among stout and
independent people, stirred to the
highest point of hatred and excited
disgust by the cruelty of the scene
and the horror which they knew must
too certainly ensue.
The sight of their favorite Prince
Conrad raised the highest hopes, not
only among the populace, but in the
army of CORTLAND itself. 1t had long
been standing toast in every guard
room, "To the succession of the
cowl!" For they looked to their ideal
knight, Conrad, that hero without
stain, to deliver their country from
the degrading weakness and subserv-
fence of the reign of Louis, and es-
pecially from the intruding Muscovite
and hated Cossack who had sup
planted themselves as guards in the
very palace of their Prince.

Here JOrian had a fit of coughing
which caused the Princess to look
severely upon him. Boris, recalled to
himself, proceeded more carefully.
1t was all we could do to open up a
way to where the young man Maurice
lay stretched on the Cross of Death.
They had loosed The wild horses be-

at once, fiinging their heads back, but

Thus the climax came about in the
twinkling of an eye, but the universal
turmoil and wild jubilation in which
Prince Louis's power and government
were swept away had really been pre-
pairing for years, though the end fell
sharp as the thunderclap.
For all that, the trouble was only
deferred, not removed. The cruel
death Of Maurice Won Lynar had been
Erendered impossible by the opportune
arrival of Prince Conrad and the sud
den revolution which the sight of his
noble and beloved FORM clad in arm
or, produced among the disguised and
impulsive Courtlanders.
Yet the arch-foe had only recoiled
in order that he might the further
| leap. The great army of the White
Gar was encamped just across the
frontier, nominally on the march tt
Poland, but capable of being in a mo

CORTLAND. Here was a pretext of in
