JUST A DREAM.

Now and then 1 make a journey
To a lovely land afar,
Mingling in a mighty tourney
With a costly motor car.
Now 1 spin and now I speed;
Now 1 struggle with the brake:
Now 1 am a swell indeed
Then l wake!
Now and then 1 build a castle
For my summer residence.
Every servant is my vassal,
And the service is immense.
Now I am a nabob proud;
Now I scorn the country Jake;
Now I'm 1urid. large and loud
Then I wake!
Now and then the Lusitania
DO I board for Europe's shore
Albion's Isle, Paree, Hispania.
Rome and half a dozen more.
Now l smoothly sail the deep;
Now the common mob l shake;
Now. of course, I am asleep
Then l wake!

They could not go back now. They must go through with it. Countess FL lenburg took to her knees. Stenovics and Stafnit= held long conversations. Every point of tactical importance in the city was occupied by troops. Slav. na was silent. expectant. curious
 Markart woke at o'clock, heavy of head, dry in the mouth, sick and ill He found himself no longer in the kings suit. but in one of the apart ments which Stafnitz had occupied He was all alone. The door stood open He understood that he was no more n prisoner. He knew that the king was dead.
 But who else was dead. and who alive, and who king in Slavna?
 He forced himself to rise and hur- ried through the corridors of the pal ace. They were deserted. There was nobody to hinder him. nobody of whom to ask question. He saw a decanter of brandy standing near the door of one room and drank freely of 1t. Then he made his way into the garden. He saw men streaming over the bridge to- ward Slavna and hastened after them as quickly as he could. His head was still in maze. He remembered noth- ing after drinking the glass of wine which Lepagc the valet had given him. but he was possessed by strong ex- citement, and he followed obstinately in the wake of the throng which sci from the palace and the suburbs into Slavna.
 The streets were quiet. Soldiers oc. cupied the corners of the ways. The. looked curiously at Markart's pale face and disordered uniform.

cruel pain in her crushed wrist She turned her eyes whither all eyes were turned now. The general battle was stayed. but not the single combat. For moment none moved save the two who were now to engage.
 The fight of the Street of the Foun- tain fell to be fought again. for when Peter Vassip was darting forward, knife in hand. with a spring like mountain goats. his masters voice called, Mine. Peter: mine" It was the old cry when they shot wild boar in the woods about Dobrava, and it brought Peter vas=,o to stand. Max von Hollbrandt. too lowered his point ed revolver. Who shsrid stand tween his quarry and the king, be- tween Sophy's lover and the man who had so outraged her? Big Mistitch was the kings game and the kings only that day.
 Mistitch's chance was gone. and he must have known it. Where was the sergeant who had undertaken to cover him? He had turned tail. Where was the enveloping rush of his men, which should have engulfed and paralyzed the enemy? Paralysis was on his men themselves. They believed Zerkovitch and lacked appetite for the killing of a king. Where was his triumphant re- turn to Slavna. his laurels. his rewards. his wonderful swaggerlngs at the Golden Lion? They were all gone. Even though he killed the king, there werc two dozen men vowed to have his life They must have 1t. but at what price His savage valor set the figure high.
 It was the old fight again. but not l. the old manner. There was no delicat sword play, no fiuctuating fortunes il the fray. It was all stern and short The king had not drawn his swor, Mi~ti.~', -.

shots rang out sharply-th2t was all. The king reeled in his saddle. but main- tained his seat. Big Mistitch threw his hands above his head. with loud cry, and fell, with mighty crash, on the road, shot through the head. Peter vassip ran to the king and helped him to dismount, while Max von Hollbrandt held his horse. Sophy hurried to where they laid him by the roadside.
 "Disarm these fellowsw cried Zerko- witch.
 But Mistitch's escort were in no mood to wait for this operation, nor to stay and suffer the anger of the king. With their leaders fall the last of heart was out of them. Wrenching themselves free from such of the ,Volsenians as sought to arrest their flight, they turn ed their horses heads and fled, one and all, for Slavna The kings men at tempted no pursuit. They clustered around the spot where he lay.
 'T'm hit" he said to Sophy, "but not badly. I think"
 From the castle door, down the cause way, came Marie Zerkovitch. weeping passionately, wringing her hands. The soldiers parted their close ranks to let her through. She came to the roadside where Sophy supported monseigneur's head upon her knees. Sophy looked up and saw her. Marie did not speak.

NhE King nau uled yesterday, yet
 none had told his heir! Mistitch
 had set out for Dobrava with
 fifty men to wait for the king, who was dead. The dead king would came to the new king at Praslok!
 Zarkovitch's news was enough to raise the anger of a king, and Sergius blazed with it. But more potent still was his wrathful fear as he thought of Sophy at Praslok in the power of Cap tain Hercules.
 He had his guard of twenty mounted men with him. With these he at once set forth. bidding Lukovitch collect all the men he could and follow him as speedily as possible. If Mistitch had really gone to Dobrava. then he would find him there and have the truth out of him. but if. as the prince hardly doubted, he was making for Praslok there was time to intercept nm. tune to carry off Sophy and the other in- mates of the castle send them back to safety within the walls of Volseni and himself ride on to meet Mistitch with bis mind at esse.
 Relying on Zerkoyitch's information, he assumed that the troopers had not started from Slavna till in the morn ing They had started at 6. He reck- oned also on Zerkovitch's statement that they were but fifty strong. They were a hundred. Yet. had he known the truth. he could not have used more haste, and he would not have waited for another man. He stayed to tell no man in volseni the news about his fa- ther except Lukovitch. But as his twenty rode out of the gate behind him he turned his head to Zerkovitch. who trotted beside him. for Zerkovitch neither could nor would rest till the game was played. and said. Tell them that the king is dead and that I reign.' ZerkOvitch whispered the news to the man next him. and it ran along ths line. 4 low. stern cheer. hardly more than a murmured assurance of loyalty and service. came from the lips of the men in sheepskins.
 Mistitch saw them coming and turn cd to his troop. He had time for a iit- tie speech. and Stafnitz had taught him what to say: Men. you are servants of the king and of the king only. Not even the Prince of Slavna can com mand you against the kings orders The kings orders are that we take Baroness Dobrava to Slavna. 10 mat ter who resists.

 .'I'll see that for myself"' Mistitch cried, taking a step forward
 With low laugh Sophy drew aside, passed him and ran down the cause way. In an instant she darted between the ranks of Mistitchs men and reached her horse. The groom mounted her. She looked up to Mistitch and called to him gayly:
 Now for Slavna, captain! And hur- " or you'll be left behind"
 Her wit was too quick for him. Max von Hollbrandt burst out laughing. Pe- ter Vassip grinned.
 What are you waiting for, captain ?' asked Max. Your prisoners only too anxious to go with you, you see"
 "I'll search the castle firstr he cried in rage, which made him forget his part.
 Peter Vassip sprang forward and barred the way. Mistitch raised his mighty arm, but Sophy's voice rang out gayly:
 Nonsense, Peter! There's nothing to conceal. Let the captain pass"
 Her words stopped Mistitch. He feared trap. Max saw it and mocked him. Don't be afraid, captain. Take fifty men in with you. The garrison consists of lady in bed, an old man and five female servants"
 Sophy heard and laughed. Even the troopers began to laugh now. Mistitch stood on the top of the causeway, ir- resolute, baffied, furious.
 But behind his stupidity lay the cun- ming astuteneSs of Stafnitz, the in. genious bit of deviltry. Mistitch's name availed where his brain could not Fo1 the moment the prince made little of the crown which had become his. When he heard Zerkovitch's news his over towering thought was that the woman he loved might be exposed to the pow. CT and the insults of Mistitch. Sophy was playing skillful game for him, but he did not know it.

 Yes, there was the galloping of horses on the Volseni road.
 Colonel Stafnitz had not miscalcu- lated.
 Now Mistitch heard the sound. His heavy face frightened. He ran down the causeway loudly ordering his men to mount. He was no longer at loss. He had his cue now-the cue Stafnitz had given him.

 ment's hesitation. as 1t seemed to Mark art, the crowd of people on the other side of the square echoed back the ac- clamations of the soldiers.
 All Countess Ellenburg's ambitions were at stake. For Stenovics and Staf- nitz 1t was a matter of life itself now, so daringly had they raised their hands against King Sergius. Countess Ellen burg had indeed prayed. and now pray ed all alone in deserted palace, but not one of the three had hesitated. At the head of united army. in the name of a united people. Stafnitz had de- manded the proclamation of young Alexis as king. For an hour Stenovics had made a show of demurring; then he bowed to the national will. That night young Alexis enjoyed more honor than he had asked of Lepage the valet he was called not prince, but majesty. He was king in Slavna, and the first work to which they set his childish hand was the proclamation of a state of siege
