with ominous red stains upon the gray
background of her travelling dress. But
the wound was neither deep nor dan
gerous. The court surgeon was as
consoling as he was complimentary
and by the time that messengers from
the palace had arrived with inquiries
from the emperor and Invitations to
the emperors ball the mother of the
heroine could dispense with her sal
volatile.
She had fortunately much to think
of. There was the important question
of dress for the ball tomorrow night;
there was the still more pressing ques-
ton of the newspapers, which must
not be allowed to publish the borrow
ed name Of Mowbray lest complica-
tions should arise, and there were the
questions to be asked Of Virginia
How had she felt? How had she
dared? How had the emperor looked,
and what had the emperor said?
IF it had been natural for the grand
duchess to faint it was equally natural
that she should not faint twice. She
began to believe, after all, that Provi-
dence smiled upon Virginia and her
adventure, and she wondered whether
the princess white satin embroidered
with seed pearls or the silver spangled
blue tulle would be more becoming to
wear to the ball.
Next day the Rhaetian newspapers
devoted columns to the attack upon
the emperor by an anarchist from Il
certain province (once ltalian). who
had disguised himself as an official IN
the employ Of the burgomaster. There
were long para graphs in praise OF the
lady who, with marvellous courage and
presence of mind, had sprung between
the emperor and the assassin, recelv-
ing on the arm with which she had
