open arena beyond the dukes pal
ace, and were upon the surprised
ruffians before they were fully
awake to the situation.
They came tumbling out of
barns and sheds, clutching their
rifles in nerveless hands, aghast
in the face of absolute destruction
1t was all over with the first
dash of the Dragons. The enemy,
craven at the outset, threw down
their guns and tried to escape
through the alleys and side
streets at the ends of the common.
Firing all the time, the attacking
force rode them down as if they
were so many dogs. The few
who stood their ground and
fought valiantly were overpowered
and made captive by Quinnox.
Less than a hundred men were
found in the camp. Instead of re-
treating Immediately to the castle,
Quinnox, acting on the suggestion
of the exhilaratcd King, kept up a
fierce, deceptive fire for the bene-
fit of the distant Marlanx.
After ten or fifteen minutes of
this desultory carnage, it was re-
ported that large force of men
were entering the avenue from
Regengetz Circus. Quinnox sent
his chargers toward this great
horde of foot-soldiers, but they
did not falter as he had expected.
On they swept, two or three
thousand of them. At their head
rode five or six officers. The fore
most was Count Marlanx.
The cannons were booming now
in the foothills. Marlanx, IL he
heard them and realized what the
bombardment meant, did not
swerve from the purpose at pres
ent in his mind.
Quinnox saw now that the Iron
Count was determined to storm
the gates, and gave the command
to retreat. Waving their rifles
and shouting defiance over their
shoulders, the dragons drew up
wheeled and galloped toward the
gates.
Scarcely were the massive por-
tails closed and the great steel bars
dropped into place by the men
who attended them, when a low,
dull explosion shook the earth as
If by volcanic, force. Then came
the crashing of timbers, the crack
ing of masonry, the whirring of a
thousand missiles through the air.
Before the very eyes of the
stunned, bewildered defenders,
dismounting near the parade
ground, the huge gates and pillars
fell to the ground.
The gates have been dynamited!
Then it was that Truxton King
remembered. Marlanx's sappers
had been quietly at work for. days,
drilling from the common to the
gates. 1t was strange coinci-
dence that Marlanx should have
chosen this day for his culminat-
ling assault on the castle. The
skirmish at daybreak had hur-
ried his arrangements, no doubt,
but none the less were his plans
complete. The explosives had
been laid during the night; the
fuses reached to the mouth of the
tunnel, across the common. AS

There was no question as to the
courage of the men he command

from all over the world. They
were the reckless, devil-may-care
mountaineers and robbers from
the hills of Graustark itself.
Truxton Kings chance to pay
his debt to Vos Engo came after
one of the fiercest, most deter
mined charges. The young count,
who had transferred his charges
from the old tower to the strong
north wing of the castle, had been
fighting desperately in the front

ness seemed to have disappeared

He seized the wounded man in

his rescuer in the face with his

from the lips of the defenders,
