neuvers with the kaiser"
Diana turned To Strong eagerly.
'Well?'' she asked.
i am afraid" said Strong, from
your point or view that Il Is very far
from well. Miss Hunt has seen the
kaiser. but her mission has altogether
failed The message. indeed. which he
has sent me can only describe as in
sulting."
few days ago Diana would nave
laughed at this. She would have
pointed out, with considerable nicely
or argument. that the kaiser could not
very well be insolent TO a man In the
position that Strong was then filing.
But companionship with Strong was
slowly altering her nature. II was i'm
possible TO be with him and not to
some extent be caught up by his en-
thusiasm. Even her abnormally de-
veloped sense OF humor failed her In
the face or Strong's tremendous ser
iousness OF purpose. IL fiippancy OF
manner.
So instead OF laughing she sighed.
What are you going TO do?" she
asked. Strong turned TO her with his
eyes blazing and gave her the same
answer that he had made To Miss
Hunt
Il am going on the naval maneuvers
with the kaiser
"When?"
Diana's question was laconic, though
her heart was sick.
Strong wrinkled his brows as he
made slight mental calculation. He
knew that IL the kaiser started that
evening for Kiel he could not very
well be on board and away much be-
fore the following afternoon.
The mental calculation over. his
brow cleared.
Il shall start tomorrow at 10
o'clock" he said. 1T Is Just as well
to be on the right side In ones esti-
mates. and l don't want to let the
kaiser get TO sea before l pick up
Kiel. In that case We might have
several hours dancing up and down
the German ocean, and even then not
find his imperial majesty's high sea
feet before dark.
And So" he added think you had
better go to bed. There Is a busy day
before u.s..
For you. yes" said Diana. but for
me"
She shrugged her shoulders and
spread out her hands.
Strong looked at her very kindly.
He realized the immense sacrifice that
she was making and how entirely irk.
some to her energetic nature must be
these prolonged and tiresome waits.

This is too much" said the kaiser.
He made a gesture OF angry impair
ence. then. without further word
flung out OF the room. leaving MISS
Hunt alone.
Miss Hunt was accompanied back
TO the hotel by the same officer VINO
had brought her TO the castle. he
babe her farewell on the steps as he
might have taken leave OF any lady
OF his acquaintance.

said, ito speak Of his matesty's ousi-

that you will soon be leaving Ber-

"Is there any reason why should?"
asked Miss Hunt.
Il understood" said the officer. smil-
ing that II had been suggested TO you
that YOU should. At any rate. ne
continued, Il fear that you will have
but little opportunity of speaking to
his majesty again. for he leaves for
Thiel tonight, to 60 on the naval ma
neuvers."
You never know" said Miss Hunt,
quietly. whom you may meet again
or where"
The officer looked at her sharply,
and made a mental note that he would
entrust her remark to channel
through which 1t could not fail to
reach his imperial master. He then
said "Good-by." as courteously and
pleasantly as ever. and Miss Hunt
went up to her room to pack for her
return Journey TO Vienna.
For TO Vienna she presumed II wise
to go. She was unable TO pick up
Strong by wireless from Berlin. and
communication with him from Lon
don would be hopeless. Moreover. she
saw that should Strong give her per
mission TO cable what had happened
to the Daily Wireless" Vienna would
be a good place from which to send OF
the dispatch.
To Vienna she therefore returned,
reaching the Austrian capital on the
following evening.
