That was the way the story come out steady by

for some reason or other these twins of his had been

CHAPTER XVII.
To the Rescue.

y was the hour of the evening meal
et Isle Rugen. At the table head sat
Theresa Won Lynar her largely mold
ed and beautiful face showing no sign
of emotion. On either side or neF
were Joan and Prince Conrad-not
sad, neither avoiding nor seeking the
confluence Of eye and eye, but yet,
in spite of all, SO strange thing is
love once declared, happy within their
heart of hearts
It had been growing wilder and WHO
err without, and the shrill lament Oh
the wind was distinctly heard IN the
wide chimney top Now and then IN
a lull. broad splashes of rain fell SOL
idly into the red embers with SOUND
like musket balls "spatting" on
wall.
Then Theresa Won Lynar looked UP.
Where is Max Ulrich?" she said;
"why does he delay?"

berg answered, saluting, "he is gone
across the Half in the boat, and mas
not yet returned"
81 will go and look for him-nay, do
not rise, my lord. l would go forth
alone!"
Theresa stood upon the inner curve
of the Half at the place where Max
Ulrich was wont to pull his boat
ashore. She looked long southwark
under her hand, but for the moment
could see nothing.
And though Theresa Won Lynar was
yet in the prime Of her glorious
beauty, one could see what she must
nave been in the days Of her girlhood
And as memory caused her eyes &c
grow misty and the smile of love and
trust eternal came upon her lips

Bishop MaIIaIieu Heard the Reasons.

Bishop Mallalieu always advocated
paying better salaries to ministers. He
told once Of a capital young fellow,
hopeful and happy in his pastorate, in
spite of the small pay, of whom he
lost sight for twelve and fifteen years.
One day the bishop met him in Bos-
ton, looking prosperous.

the bishop.

"Why did you leave the church,"
"For seven reasons"

Even then his throat refused its

him a great cup of wine from which
he drank deeply.

"Why? Wherefore? In what place?
Who would dare?" came from all
about the table; but the mother of
the young man sat silent as if she
had not heard.
"To save Kernsberg from sack by
the Muscovites, Maurice Won Lynar
went to CORTLAND in the guise of the
Lady Joan AT the fords Of the ALA

"He went for my sake!" moaned
Joan. "He is to die for mel"

The little company which set out
from Isle Rugen to ride to CORTLAND
had no thought or intention Of rescu-
ing Maurice Won Lynar by force or
arms. They knew their own impot-
ence far too exactly.
II her remuneration Of her dignities
were laughed at, as she feared, there
was nothing for Joan but to deliver
herself to Prince Louis. She had re-
solved to promise to be his wife and
princess in all that it concerned the
outer world to see Their provinces
would be united, Kernsberg and Ho-
henstein delivered into his hand.
On his part, Werner Won Orseln was
prepared to point out to the Prince
of CORTLAND that with Joan as his
wife, and the armies and levies or

be in a position to do without the

Conrad, who was intimately ac
ouainted with the character Of his
brother, and who knew how entirely
he was under the dominion OF Prince
Ivan. had resolved to use all powers,
ecclesiastical and secular, which his
position as titular Prince OF the
Church put within his reach.
