CHAPTER ~.

The Hop-e Of a Thousand Candles.
Annandale derives its chief impor.
lance from the fact that two railway
lines intersect there. The Chicago ex.
press paused only for a moment while
the porter deposited my things beside
me on the platform. Light streamed
from the open door of the station; a
few idlers paced the platform, staring
into the windows of the cars; the vii
lage hackman languidly solicited my
business. Suddenly out of the shad
ows came tall, curious figure of a
man clad in a long ulster, AS write,

platform, where the backman was al.

after we had seen them piled upon
his nondescript wagon followed
Bates down through the broad, quiet
street Of the village. There was more
OF Annandale than / had imagined, and

"None nearer than Strelsau, for In

We reached the avenue OF the cha'

the boofs of our horses sounded on the
gravel Sapt rushed out to meet us.
"Thank God, you're safe" he cried.

more free inasmuch as we soon learn
ed that he was rather weak man
than wicked and had acted through
out this matter more from fear OF the
duke AMI of his own brother Max than
for any love Of what was done. But
he had persuaded all Of his loyalty
and, though not in their secret coun-
sells, was yet, by his knowledge OF
their dispositions within the castle,
able to lay bare before us the very
heart of their devices. And here, In
brief, is his story:
Below the level of the ground In the
castle, approached by a fight 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 mOat In this inner
room there lay always, day and night,
three of the Six, and the instructions
of DIXIE Michael were that on any at
tack being made on the outer room
the three were to defend the door OF
it 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 for
one of these two was always there)
should leave the others to hold 1t as
long as they could and himself pass
into tie inner room and without more
ado kill the king, who lay there, well
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
skiing would be dead. And his body!
For his body would be evidence as
damninp as himself.

Hundreds of imitation brands are

Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger

certain imitation brands OF tobacco

that they were getting Schnapps;;

a national incorporation act or law
