of to eat and drink. We shall have one quiet hour at all events"
 An orderly entered and gave him q letter.
 He read it and said. "Tell General Stenovics I will receive him here at ? o'clock" When the messenger had gone he turned round toward the table. "A last appeal. suppose! With all the old arguments! But the general has nothing to give in exchange for Mistitch. My price would be very high"
 "No price! No price" cried fiery zerkovitch. He raised his sword against you! He must die!"
 "Yes; he must dieJ He turned to the window again. Sophy rose from the table and joined him there, looking over the city Directly beneath was the great gate, flanked on either side by broad, massive walls, which seemed to grow out of the waters of the river. He was aware of her movement. though he had not looked round at her. "I've brought you, too, into this troubIe-you. stranger" he said.
 You don't think I'm sorry for that?"
 "No, but it makes my impotence worse" He waved his arm toward the city. "There it is-here am I! And yet I'm powerlessr'
 Sophy followed his gesture and un- derstood what was passing in his mind the pang of the soldier without his armament, the workman without his tools. Their midnight talk flashed back into recollection. She remember ed his bitter complaint. Under her breath and with sigh she whispered, If you had the big guns now"'
 Low as the whisper was he heard it, and it seemed to shoot through his brain. He turned sharply round on her and gazed full into her eyes. So he stood a moment, then quickly turn ed to the table and sat down. Sophy followed, her gaze fixed on his face. Zerkovitch ceased writing. He had been drawing up another plan. Both he and Marie now watched the prince. Moments went by in silence.
 At last the prince spoke-in low voice, almost dreamy. My guns for Mistitch! Mistitch against my guns! That would be price-a fair price"
 The three sat silent. The Zerko- witches, too, had Aeard him talk of the guns. How on them hung the tranquil lity of the city and how on them might hang the country's honor and existence. Stenovics could give them If he would in return for Mistitch, but to give up Mistitch was a great surrender. So- phys whisper, almost involuntary, the voicing of a regret, hardly even of a distant aspiration, had raised a problem of conduct, a question of high policy. The princess brain was busy with it and his mind perplexed. Sophy sat watch ing him, not thinking now, but waiting. conscious only that by what seemed al- most chance a new face had through her been put on the situation. t
 Suddenly Zerkovitch brought his clinched fist down on the table. "No!' he almost shouted. They'll think you're afraidw
 "Yes, they'll think that. but not all of them. Stenovics will know better, and Stafnitz too. They'll know do 1t not because I'm afraid, but in order that I never need be-" 4

''Rastatz does that to make you think he understands better than you do. Be comforted = he doesn't." Rastatz's laugh broke out again, but now forced and uneasy. And the girl who knock ed Sterkoff out of time-I wish shed killed the stupid brute-what about her. Markart?"

 BJarkart had meant to stay for half an hour. but he went.
 "Goodby, RastatZ."
 Rastatz had just ordered another Hqueur; but, without waiting to drink it, he, too, went. Stafnitz sat on alone, smoking his cigar. There were no signs of care on his face. Though not gay, it was calm and smooth. No wrinkles witnessed to worry nor marred the comedy remains of youth which had survived bis five and thirty years.

"The lady will be q most important witness" observed the king.
 "Very, sir" Stenovics assented dryly.
 Sophy had grown eager. Doesn't the prince say they knew him?"
 His royal highness hasn't been ask cd for any account at present." Ste movies answered.
 If they knew who it was. they must die" said the king, in evident concern and excitement.
 Stenovics contented himself with bow of obedience. The king rose and gave Sophy his hand.

His syes dwelt on her face for n.ament Is she took her leave. ! Stenovics made his communication later in the day, paying Sophy the high compliment of a personal visit Ut the Ggn of the Silver Cock for that pur pose. His manner was most cordial. Sophy was to receive an honorary ap- ointment in the royal household at an lnnual salary of 10,00o paras, or some 400.
 Tt isn't riches-we aren't very rich h Kravonia-but it will, hope, make rou comfortable and relieve you from he tiresome lessons which, Markart ells me, you're now burdened with"
 Sophy was duly grateful and asked what her appointment was.
 Its purely honorary" he smiled. You are to be keeper of the tapes ries."
 q know nothing about tapestries" paid Sophy, "but I dare say l can learn. It'll be very interesting"
 Stenovics leaned back in his chair, with an amused smile.
 There aren't any tapestries" he said. ''They were sold good many years ago"
 ''Then why do you keep a"-
 "When you're older in the royal serv- ce you'll see that it's convenient to have a few sinecures," he told her.

HdlHeS Ol tue ueluucls VI the SouAt were published. The list met with the reception which was no doubt antici- pated even by the prince himself. The streets began to fill with loiterers, talk CTS and watchers; barrack rooms were vociferous with grumbling and with speculation; Stafnitz, with Rastatz al- ways at his heels, was busy with many interviews; Stenovics sat in his room moodily staring before him, seek ing a road out of his blind alley, and a carriage drew up before the sign of the Silver Cock as the cathedral bells chimed noon. It was empty inside, but by the driver sat Peter Vassip, the princess personal attendant, wearing the sheepskin coat, leather brooches and high boots that the men of the hills wore. His business was to sum- mon Sophy to Suleimar's tower.
 The square of St. Michael was full of life and hustle. The ( lden Lion did fine trade. But the center of in- terest was on the north wall and the adjacent quays under the shadow of Suleiman's tower. Within those walls were the two protagonists. Thence the prince issued his orders. Thither Mis- fitch had been secretly conveyed the night before by party of the princess own guard trustworthy Volsenians.
 A crowd of citizens and soldiers was chattering and staring at the tower when Sophy's carriage drew up at the entrance of the bridge which, crossing the North river, gave access to the fort. The mouth of the idge was guarded by fifty of thos same Volse- nians. They had but tt retreat and raise the bridge behind them, and Mis- itch was safe in the trap. Only-and the crowd was quick enough to under. stand the situation-the prisoners trap could be made snare for his jailer too. Unless provisions could be ob- tained from the country around 1t would be impossible to hold the tower for long against an enemy controlling the butchers and bakers shops of Slavna. Yet it could be help long enough to settle the business of Cap tain Hercules.
 Sophy entered the time worn walls of Suleiman's tower With thrill of pleas ure and followed Peter Vassip up the narrow stair with a delighted curi- osity. The prince received her in the large round room which constituted the first floor of the central tower. Its furpit,,ra UoS Simnla almost ruda it's massive walls quite bare save for some pieces of ancient armor. Marrow slits. deep set in the masonry, served for windows and gave view of the city and of the country around on every side. They showed the seething throng on the north wall and on the quays, The distant sound of thousand voices struck the ear.
 Zerkovitch and his wife were with the prince, seated over a simple meal, at which Sophy joined them. Marie had watched Sophy's entrance and the princess greeting closely. She marked Sophy's excitement betrayed in the fa- miliar signal on her cheek. But the journalist was too excited on his own account to notice other people. He was talking feverishly, throwing his lean body about and dashing his hands up and down. He hardly paused to wei come the newcomer. He had thou sand plans by which the prince was to overcome and hold down Slavna. One and all they had the

 crisis. The minister's deliberate, slow moving game was brought to a sudden issue which be was not ready to face. It had been an essential fea- ture, governing rule. of his campaign to avoid any open conflict with the Prince of Slavna until an occasion arose on which both the army and the king would be on his side. The king was power not merely by reason of his cheaply won popularity, but also because he was, while he lived, the only man who could crown Stenoyics' operations with the consummation to which the minister and his ally. Count ess Ellenburg. looked forward with dis tant yet sanguine hope. The army was with him now, but the other factor was lacking. The kings pride as we'll as his affection was enlisted in his sons interest. Moreover, this occasion was very bad.
 Mistitch was no better than an as- sassin. To take up arms on his behalf was to fight in a cause plainly dis graceful-one which would make sue cess very difficult and smirch 1t forever and beyond remedy even If 1t came. It was no cause in which to fight both prince and king. That would be play ing the big stake on a bad hand, as Stafnitz put 1t.
 Yet the alternative? StafnitZ, again, had put that clearly. The army would have no more to do with the man who could not help 1t at the pinch, who could not save it's favorite, who could not release Barabbas.
 The prince seemed to be in his most unyieldlng mood-the Bourbon in him
