Everybody turned and looked at
Max. His arm was leveled in the di-
rection of fine portrait in oil which
hung suspended over the fireplace.
Max was very pale.
What's that to your snarled the
prince. He was what we Yankees call
hopping mad" The vase was worth
hundred crowns, and he never could
find a leaf to replace the one just
broken.
Il believe l have a. right to know
who that woman is up there" Max
spoke quietly, AS a matter of fact he
was too weak to speak otherwise.
"A right to know? What do you
mean?" demanded the prince fiercely.
1T is my wife"
With trembling fingers Max pro-
duced his locket.
win you look at this?" he asked in
voice that was 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.
What's the matter, prince?" asked
the duke anxiously. 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.
81 have always worn IT," answered
Max. THE chain that went with it

awed tones.
Where did you get it?" demanded
the prince again.
81 was found with it around my

the agitated prince.

Yes This was around my sons

"What?' The duke looked from the
prince to the man who had worn the
locket. Certainly there wasn't any

at the portrait on the wall and then at

were somewhat alike. He plucked
