cause Of what the sentry might even
now be reporting to Sterkoff and.
through him, to General Stenovics.
The thought brought him to a stand
still again. There might be Gordon
OF sentries across the road After a
moments hesitation he broke away
from the main road, struck due south
and so ran when he could, walked
when he must, two miles.
He was getting terribly tired now,
but not cold-rather he was feverishly
hot inside his clammy garments. He
turned along country cross road
which ran west and passed through
village, leaving the Hotel de Paris on
the main road far TO his right. At last
he reached the main road south and
turned up it, heading again for Slavna
and for the bridge which crossed the
South river. He passed the bridge
without being challenged as the cathe-
dral clock struck midnight from st.
Michaers square. The worst of his
task was accomplished. If now he
could find Zerkovitch!
But he was sore spent. Running was
out Of the question now. He skunk
slowly and painfully along the south
boulevard, cinging close to the fences
Of the gardens, seeking the shelter Of
the trees which overhung them.
Draggled, hatless, dirty, infinitely
weary, at last he reached Zerkovitch's
house at the corner where the boule-
ward and the Street Of the Fountain
meet. He opened the garden gate and
walked In. Spent as he was, he breathed
a "Bravo" when he saw a light burn
Ing in the hall He staggered on, rang
the bell and fairly fell in a lump out
side the door
He had done we'll lie, a man Of
peace, busy with clothes-he had done
well that night! But he was finished.
When Zerkovitch opened the door he
found little more than a heap Of dank
and dirty raiment. He hauled 1t in
and shut the door. He supported Le-
page into the study, sat him by the FIRE
and got brandy for him 10 drink pour-
ing out full half a tumbler. Lepage
took ii and drank the better part OF IT
at a gulp
"The king died at o'clock. NJ. Zerko-
vitch!' he said. He dr. the rest. let
the tumbler fall, with rash in the
fender buried his head on his breast
and fell into blank unconsclousness.
He was out OF the battle as much as
Markart, who slept the clock around In
spite OF Stenovics' shakings and DR..
Natcheff's rubbings and stimulants,
But he had done his part. II was for
Zerkovitch TO do his now.
The king had died at 5 oclock2 1t
was certainly odd, that story, BECAUSE
ZerkOvitch had just returned from the
offices Of the Patriot, and Immediately
before he left he had sent down to the
foreman printer an official communique
