CHAPTER XIV.
At the Gates of Change.

Once more Stanief was alone In
his study, on the morning when
Allard made his first rebellion
The windows were open and a
warm sfeet breeze drifted the
curtains into the room like snowy
mists from the past winter, rust
ling on among the papers upon the
writing table. as Stanief laid down
his work to listen to the visitor.
1t was so rare to see Allard excited
and he was so vibrant with indig-
nation as he stood before the
other.

You can not refuse me that"
he cried. You have taken my life

The Emperor" Allard began
, incredulously.
THE Emperor needs you more
than ever before. There are too
many people who cling to the
peace of the last years. who dread
change and would force me upon
the throne at any cost. The EN-
pire-nOt Adrlan's court-the vast
middle class. the merchants. the
quiet, staid aristocracy, the very
peasants. want all to continue as
1t is. II l were still to govern
with the Emperor they would rest
content, but they see it will not
be so. They fear Adrian, they

party he represents. And they are
not careful In their methods OF OBJ

light one, and he worked at it alb
solutely alone except for Allard's
passionate and powerless sympa-

cause there was so much to be

days slipped through his fingers

So winter set its seal of silence

Faster and faster the beads were
