Everybody turned and looked at
Max. His arm was leveled in the d.

hung suspended over the fireplace.
Max was very pale.

prince. He was what we Yankees call

"a right to know? What do you

With trembling fingers Max pro-
duced his locket.
"Will you look at this?" he asked In
a voice that was a bit shaky.
The prince stepped forward and
jerked the locket from Max's hand.
But the moment he saw the contents
his jaw fell and he rocked on his heels
unsteadily and staggered back toward
the duke for support.

the duke a%nxiously. After all Doppel-
kim was an old crony, and mayhap he
had been harsh with him.
Where did you get that? asked the
prince hoarsely.
Il have always worn IT," answered
Max. "The chain that went with 1t

Good heaven!" cried the duke.

the prince again.

the agitated prince.
