CHAPTER X.

Tho castle of the Prince of Doppel-
kim rested in the very heart of the
celebrated vineyards. Like all Ger
man castles l ever saw or heard of. 1t
was relic of the Middle Ages, with
many a crumbling. useless tower and
battlement. II stood on the south side
of rugged hill which was gashed by
a narrow but turbulent stream, in
which lurked the rainbow trout that
lured the lazy man from his labors
afield. (And who among us shall cast
a stone at the lazy man? Not ~ If

"BARSCHEIT."
The telegraph is the true arm OF the
police. The princess sighed pathetical-
ly. 1t was all over.
Your passports" said the colonel to
Max.
Max surrendered his papers. "You
need not tie my hands," he said calm
ly. Il will come peaceably."
The colonel looked inquiringly at the
princess.
He will do as ne says"

him upon SO short an acquaintance
The colonel beckoned for them to step
forth. Everything is prepared. There

Max often wondered why he did not
make a dash for It, or u running fight.
What he had gone through that night
was worth a good fight.
"Good-by." said the princess, hold,
ing out her hand.
Scharfenstein gravely bent his head
and kissed II.
"Good-by. Prince Charming" she
whispered, so softly that Max scarcely
heard her.
Then she entered the closed carriage
and was driven up the dark, tree-en'
shrouded road that led to the Castle OF
Doppe!kinn.
What are you going to do with
me?' Max asked. as he gathered up the
reins of his mount.
That we shall discuss later. Like

Wasn't it fine to be ordered about in

He began. He told her that he was

Austria, he did not know which. He

suddenly.

She shaded her eyes and searched the
speeding blackness outside.
How far Is It to the capital?" he
asked.

Silence fell upon them. and at length
the train stopped with a jerk. In what
seemed to them an incredibly short
time guard unlocked the door. He
pecred in.

the dark beyond.
An officer from the military house

pulsively.
What does 1t mean?" His heart
was very heavy.
II am the Princess Hildegarde of
Barscheit, and your entering this car

misfortune to you."
He stared helplessly- And every
thing had been going along SO nicely
the dinner he had planned in Dresden,
and all that!
"And they believe" the girl went or,
"that have eloped with you to avoid
marrying the prince" She turned to

BOOK, BUDD AND
DENMAN TALK At

Republicans Hold Two Meetings
Despite Absence of Colby

At two .srgely attended Republican
mass-meetings. held last night, the
principal speakers were President
Frank ]. Book, of the oar of Works.
Republican nominee FOR the mayoralty;
Commissioner Arthur r. Denman, and
Ira Budd, candidates Tor the Board OF
Works. The firrt meeting was held In
the Colby headquarters in Bank street,
after which the candidates addressed
a meeting of the negro Republican or
ganizations In Garside street.
Among the other speakers heard at
the two meetings we're DR.. Joseph 3.

Republican Committees speakers COM
mittee; former Police Commissioner T.
L. Bierck, of Jersey City, n County
Tax Commissioner Lathrop Anderson,
who acted as presiding officer at the
meeting in Bank street. 1t was an
nounced during the meeting that SEN
ator Everett Colby was unable to be in
attendance on account of private busi-
ness which called him to Providence,
and that As~semblyman William P.
Martin and William Fellowes Morgan,
nominee for tire shrievalty, were in
Washington, D. c. on business. Mr..

makes people selfish, you know. The

Miss vokes nodded. I'm planning a

said she. Then, with an abrupt change,
characteristic of Miss Vokes off the

voice, II wish 1 was blonde and 16. A

Mrs. Kleman sought the aid of the
police late last night in her search
for her husband, as she had not heard
from him since early morning. His
office was in that part of the building
where the fire started.
A score of firemen, with the aid of
two engines, were kept busy all night,
under the command of Captain p. j.
Donahue, of Engine Company No. IS,
drowning out blazing embers. About 6
o'clock this morning a lively blaze
broke out in the ruins, and it kept the
flremen busy for nearly an hour.
Much praise was given the fremen
by the residents in the vicinity of the
fire for keeping the fire confined to the
factory because of the many frame
dwellings that surround the buildings.
Coffee and sandwiches were served the
fremen all day and all last night by
people in the neighborhood.
The funeral of Miss Mary A. Bran
nagan, whose body was in the house
next to the factory yesterday, but
which was removed to the home of
Mrs. Philip Jackson across the street,
took place this morning. The services
were held at st. Johns Church, and
the interment was in the Cemetery of
the Holy Sepulchre.

to realize that 1t would be a sorry

the unexpected reply. I've been WON

well, then, what would you rather
do in a theatrical way?" I'm pretty

suddenly, as the knowledge that 1t was

was near, "only I want a little 'slavey'
