After spending half his lifetime

hidden wealth, Thomas Reardon, an
old time prospector, has at last struck
it rich. Reardon has uncovered a
well defined lead of rich gold ore in
Georgia gulch, near Twin Bridges.

vein is two feet wide.
A decision of vast Importance to
mining men has just been made by
the officials of the land department in

vey and which was originally located
in an unsurveyed district, need not be
resurveyed and relocated by legal sub
divisions. The title of the case was

for inquiry concerning the acts and
whereabouts of the real princess.

zone of my company fell in with
some Of your guards from the Ganlook
garrison day before yesterday. de
learned that you were to reach that
city within forty-eight hours. A large
detachment of men has been sent to
meet you at Labbot."
"Oh, indeed" said Beverly, very
much interested.
"They must have been mislnformed
as to your route or else your Russian
escort decided to take you through by
the lower and more hazardous way.
1t was our luck that you came by the
wrong road. Otherwise we should not
have met each other, and the lion," he
said, smiling refectively.
"Where Is LabbOt?" asked she, in
tent upon the one subject uppermost in
her mind.
"In the mountains many leagues
north of this pass. Had you taken that
route instead of this you would by this
time have left Labbot for the town Of
Eros, half days journey from Gan
look. Instead of vagabonds your es-
cort would have been made up Of loyal
soldiers, well fed, well clad and well
satisfied with themselves at least"
"But no braver, no truer than my
soldiers of fortune" she said earnestly.
"By the way, are you informed as to
the state of affairs in Dawsbergen"
Scarcely as well as your highness
must be-" he replied.
"The young prince - what's MS

the name.

"He Is a fugitive, they say"
"They haven't captured him, then?
Good! l am so glad"
Baldos exhibited little or no interest
In the fresh topic.
1T is strange you should have for
gotten his name," he said wearily.
"Oh, l do so many ridiculous thingsw

sne was supposed to be. Il have never
seen him, you know" she added.
1T is not strange. your highness. He
was educated in England and had seen
but little OF his own country when he
was called to the throne two years ago.
You remember of course that his moth
er was an Englishwoman, Lady Ida
Falconer."
Ell think have heard some of his
history. A very little, to be sure" she
explained lamely.
"Prince Gabriel, his half brother, Is
the son of Prince Louis III. by his
first wife, who was Polish countess.
After her death, when Gabriel was
two years old, the prince married Lady
Ida. Dantan Is their son. He has
sister, Candace, who is but nineteen
years of age"
II am ashamed to confess that you
know so much more about my neigh
bOrs than l." she said
81 lived in Dawsbergen for little
while and was ever interested in the
doings of royalty. That is poor mans
privilege, you know"
"Prince Gabriel must be a terrible
man." cried Beverly, her heart swelling
with tender thoughts of the exiled Dan
tan and his little sister.
"You have cause to know" said he
shortly, and she was perpIexed until
she recalled the stories of GabriePs
misdemeanors at the court of Edel-
weiss.
'Is Prince Dantan as handsome as
they say he is?" she asked.
1T is entirely a matter of opinion"
he replied. 81 for one do not consider
him at all prepOssessing."
The day went on, fatiguing, distress
ing in it's length and its happenings
Progress was necessarily slow, the
perils of the road increasing as the
little cavalcade wound deeper and
deeper into the wilderness. There were
times when the coach fairly crawled
along the edge of a precipice, pro-
ceeding so hazardous that Beverly
shuddered as if in chill. Aunt Fanny
slept serenely most of the time, and
Baldos took to dreaming with his eyes
wide open. Contrary to her expecta-
tions, the Axphainians did not appear
and If there were robbers in the hills
they thought better than to attack the
valorous looking party. 1t dawned
upon her finally that the Axphainians
were guarding the upper route and not
the one over which she was travelling.
Yetive doubtless was approaching Gan
look over the northern pass, provided
the enemy had not been encountered
before Labbot was reached. Beverly
soon found herself fearing for the
safety of the princess, fear which at
last became almost uncomfortable.
Near nightfall they came upon three
Graustark shepherds and learned that
Ganlook could not be reached before
the next afternoon. The tired, hungry
travellers spent the night in snug
little valley through which a rivulet
bounded onward to the river below.
The supper was a scant one, the fora

CHAPTER VII.

G0Y this time they were passing
U the queer little huts that mark
ed the outskirts of habltable
community. These were the
homes of shepherds, hunters and 9th
ers whose vocations related especial
ly to the mountains. Farther on there
were signs of farming interests; the
homes became more numerous ana
more pretentiOus in appearance. The
rock lined gorge broadened into fer
tile valley; the road was smooth ana
level. a condition which afforded RELIEF
to the travellers RavOne had once
more dressed the wounds inflicted by
the lion. but he was unable to provide
anything to subdue the fever. Baldos
was undenably i'll. Beverly, between
her exclamations of joy and relief at
being in sight of GanlOOk, was profuse
In her expressions of concern for the
hero Of the Hawk and Raven. The
feverish CLEAN in his dark eyes and
the pain that marked his face touched
her deeply. Suffering softened his lean,
sun Drowned features, oblterating the
mocking lines that had impressed her
so unfavorably at the outset. She was
saying to herself that he was hand
some after most unusual cast; it was
an unforgettable face.
"Your highness." he said earnestly,

versation in q tongue utterly incompre-
hensible to Beverly took place between
Baldos and his followers. The latter
seemed to be disturbed about some
thing. and there was no mistaking the
solicitous air with which they regard

was patient as long as possible and
then broke into the discussion.
"What do they wantY she demand

After all. it was not within her power

cess and she had absolutely no infu-

could not be deceived as had been these
ipnorant men Of the hills. II she led

command. Once at Yetlve's side she
was confident she could save the man
who had done so much for her, but
! Ganlook was many miles from Edel-
weiss. and there was no assurance that
Intervention could be obtained In time.
On the other hand, If he went back to the
hills he was likely to die Of the poison
Gus fever. Beverly was in most un-
baDpv state of mind. If she confessed
to him that she was not the princess
he would refuse to enter the gates of
Ganlook, and be perfectly justified In
doing so.
