Then she smiled upon him-a sud-

For great is the guile of woman

Theresa Won Lynar opened the
latch of horn lanter which dangled
at pole and took the candle in her
left. She gave her right hand with a
certain gesture of surrender to Prince
Ivan.

in the inner pavilion. A dim light
sifted through the open flap by which
the men had gone out with their load
of powder Day was breaking and a
broad crimson bar lay across the path
of the yet uurisen run. Theresa and
Prince Ivan stood beside the dead. He
had been roughly thrown down on the
pile of rough boxes which contained
the powder manufactured by the Mar
gratis alchemists according to the
famous recipe of Bartholdus Schwartz.
The lid of the largest chest stood
open, as if the men were returning
for yet another burden.
Quick" she said, there in the pres
ence of the dead, I will whisper it
here here and not elsewhere"
She brought him round with the
gentle compulsion of her hand till he
stood in a little angle where the red
light of the dawn shone on his dark,
handsome face. Then she put an arm
strong as a wrestler's about him.

Then Theresa Won Lynar laughed
aloud as she held him in her grasp.

And Theresa dropped the naked
candle she had been holding aloft into
the great chest of dull black grains
which stood open at her side.
After that it mattered little that at
the same moment beyond the Ala the
trumpets of Hugo, Prince of Plassen-
burg, blew their first blast.

His wife smiled suddenly through

cried vehemently. at were no won

In Margaret's April eyes the sun
