T0HE troops Of the garrison and
their allies. the scum OF the
streets, thought that they had
scored great victory and in
nicted deep humiliation on the unpopu-
lar martinez who ruled and harried
them. They celebrated the event with
noisy but harmless revels. and when
Captain Hercules was seen about again
he submitted to a fortnight's con-
hnement to barracks with feelings In
which thankfulness. though not graft
tude, predominated-he found his popu-
larity with them greater than ever
But in the higher circles-the inner
ring-of the party he served his recep-
ton was not so cordial StenoVics
would not see him. Stafnitz saw him
only to express most uncompromising
judgment on his conduct.
Yielding in appearance, In point Of
substance the Prince of Slavna had
scored heavily. The big guns were or
dered from Germany. The prince had
the money to pay for them. and they
were to be consigned to him These
were the guarantees which he had
asked from Stenovics. When the guns
came-and he had agreed to make an
extra payment for early delivery-his
situation would be very different. With
trusty men behind them II would 20
hard with him If he were not master
OF Slavna, and he had already obtained
the kings sanction to raise and train a
force Of artillery from among his own
men in Volseni and its neighborhood.
The men Of Volseni were proof against
Mistitch's Dragging and the subtle In
diligence by which Stafnitz held his
power over the rank and file OF the
army. They were true to the prince.
The idle kings family pride was
touched. IT was the one thing which
could rouse him. At his sons express
request. and at that only, he acquiesced
In the release Of Mistitch and his satel-
lite Sterkoff, but he was determined to
make his own attitude clear and to do
what he could to restore the prestige OF
his family. The prince said dryly that
the prestige would profit best of all by
the big guns. The king was minded TO
supplement their effect by something
more ornate. He created a new order
and made his son grand master OF II.
There was no harm In that. and Ste

shortly.
Slavna had plenty to talk about that
night. Besides the Baroness Dobrava's
red star there was the faintlng fit of
King Alexisl The evening bulletin
was entirely favorable. The king had
quite recovered. But many had heard
Lepage's confession and seen the look
that II brought to Natcheff's face.
Stenovics and Stafnits rode back
from the palace to the city side by side.
The general was silent, immersed in
deep thought Stafnitz smoked his
cigarette with light, rather mocking

power Of enjoying and her ardor in Inn

embraces Of the past to fly to the arms

emerged into consciousness. She was
not yet asking how for g)oi or evil she
stood or was to stand toward the
prince Fortune had done wonderful
things for her and was doing more yet.
That was enough, and beyord that for
the moment she was not driven.
The mixture of poetry and drilling

long street, which bayed out at the
farther end into market place. II
stood with its back against mountain
side, defended on the other three sides
by sturdy wall, which only now, aft.
er FIVE centuries, began to crumble
away at the top.
At the city gate bread and salt were
brought to the bailiff and his compan-
ion, and she and he rode side by side
down the long street to the market
place. Here were two or three hun

He watched his companions face

grunt.

rode on some while in silence. At last,
just as he was about TO part from his

"ThAts Natcheff's voice" said the
prince. Natchelf was the leading ply
sician Of Slavna. Somebody's tainted,
l suppose. Well, the place is stuffy
enoughw
Markart emerged from the circle,
which had wldened out In obedience
TO the physicians orders. AS he hur-
ried past the prince he said: "The king
has tainted, sir I'm going to fetch
Lepage." Two or three other men ran
to open the windows.
"The king tainted! l never knew him
to do that before"
He hastened to where his father lay,
the subject of Natcheff's ministrations.
Sophy and Marie followed in his wake
through the opening which the onlook-
ers made for him. The king showed
signs of recovering, but Natcheff's face
was grave beyond even the require
ments of his profession or of his pa
TENTS rank. The next moment Lepage
came up. This man, the kings body
servant, was small, plump person,
who had generally weary, impassive,

was very quick, and he was soon aiding
Natcheff with deft and nimble fingers.

Lepage did not look up from his task.

Then Lepage did look up. He ap-

matter and remained locked In that
statesman's heart. Publicly and to ev-
erybody else from the Prince of Slav-
ma downward he declared that there
was no ground for apprehension and
that the king merely needed rest and
change. After few days Of the for.
mer 1t was proposed to seek the latter
by moving the court to his majesty's
country seat at Dobrava--that estate
from which Sophy had been graciously
hidden to choose her title Meanwhile
there was no reason why the prince
should not carry out his intention and
proceed to the castle of Praslok.
Below Slavna the main postroad-as
has already been stated, there was no
railway at this time-follows the course
OF the river Krath for about FIVE miles
In a southeasterly direction. II Is then
carried across the stream, which con-
tinues to trend to the south, by an an
Client wooden bridge and runs north
east for another fifteen miles through
fat country and past prosperous agri-
cultural and pastoral villages till Il
reaches the marshy land bordering
Lake Talti. The lake, extending from
this point to the spurs of the mountain
range which forms the frontier, bars
Its farther direct progress, and II di-
vides into two branches. The right
prong Of the fork continues on the level
till 1t reaches Dobrava, eight miles
from the point of dissection. Here II
incllnes to the northeast again and aft
er some ten miles of steady ascent,
crosses the mountains by st. Peters
pass, the one carriage road over the
range and over the frontier. The left
prong becomes a steep ascent directly
the dissection has occurred, rising sharp
ly for five miles to the hill on which
the castle Of Praslok stands. Then II
runs for another five miles on a high
plateau till 1t ends at the hill city of
Volseni, which stands on the edge OF
the plateau, looking down on Lake
Talt and across to Dobrava, In the
plain opposite.
Beyond Volseni there is no road In
the proper sense, but only cart or bride
tracks. OF these the principal and
most frequented runs diagonally across
the valley In which Lake Talti lies, Is
interrupted by the lake, at that point
about mile and half wide, and then
meets the road from Dobrava halfway
up st. Peters pass and about twenty
miles across country from volseni. II
thus forms the base OF rough and ir-
regular triangle of country, with the
point where the slavna road bisects,
the pass and Volseni marking its three
angles. Lake Talti is set In the middle,
backed by chain OF hills continuous
