But her hand tOds pointing 10 the door
came direct TO the castle and boldly
sent word to Beverly that he must
speak to her at once. She promptly an
swered that she did not want to see
him and would not. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation he appealed for audi
ence with the princess. and 1t was
granted.
He proceeded, with irate coolness, to
ask how far she believed herself bound
to protect the person of Baldos. the
guard. lie understood that she was un-
der certain obligations to Miss Cal
houn, and he wanted to be perfectly
sure OF his position before taking u
step which now seemed imperative
Baldos was spy in the employ OF
Dawsbergen. He had sufficient proof
to warrant his arrest and execution;
there were documents and there was
positive knowledge that he had con.
ferred with strangers from time to
time, even within the walls of the cas-
tie grounds Marlanx cited instances
in which Baldos had been seen talking
TO strange old man inside the grounds
and profeSSed to have proof that he
had gone so far as 10 steal away by
night to meet men beyond the city
walls. He was now ready TO seize the
guard, but would not do so until he
had conferred with his sovereign.

Hs In the darkness Of the night
AZ he kissed the message which
had come to him from her hiShness.'
The envelope had been closed with the
official seal of Yetive, princess OF
Graustark. and was sacred to the eyes
Of any one save the man to whom 1t
was directed. The words it contained
were burned deep in his brain:
You are ordered TO report for duty In

has sent an official command to Colonel
Quinnox. Count MarlanX has been here.
You are not expected to desert until you

Baldos went alone and swiftly. The
note to Colonel QuinnoX had been i'm

Ing the rainstorm of the previous night,
and a special guar, was to be station

known to Baldos, but he did not ask
for any explanations.

him. A bullet whizzed close to his earl

TAXATION NOT THE ISSUE

The effort of the supporters of the Labor ticket 10 make the question Of taxation au issue in the municipal cam psigu Is inconsistent and far fetched. The Labor convention endorsed two members of the old council and selected AS member it's central and platform committees former city assessor. It can be added iu this connection, too, that the valuation of the railroad prop erty for the purp- ses of taxation has been raised since it was assessed by the Labor party central committeeman and platform maker and the valuation Of the other property in the city has been reduced,
 The fact ot the matter is there has been s very crude etort up the part Of s few people to manufacture an issue for the purpose of getting votes to serve Chris Shes'S ambition to get ou the council. Last year, MT. Shea and his associates attempted to make place among the city fathers for the Pack Train proprietor oy supporting the railroad employees ouCisizenssicket Be failed, SO this year be has tried an other tack. That is all there is 10 this prstended issue on the question of tax atlon.
