serve a princess a knight must deny
himself. | fear you have forgotten
that Leander is watching you quite
as sharply as he is keeping his eyes on
me. 1t would be impossible for you to
disguise yourself so that you could go
undetected."
He was almost gay as he answered.
MANY things are possible of which
Leander does not Dream
She looked at him wonderingly. He
went to the door and peered into the
corridor, to make sure no servants
We're lurking about. Then, having
closed the door again, he tapped the
wall meaningly with his knuckles.
Are you aware of no secret way to
leave the castle?" he asked.
Her eyes were big with surprise
They gave him her answer
You will need no disguise, except a
dark night" he went on. There is a
tunnel that runs from the castle Gel ar
to the face of the cliff, just above the
water. Heaven itself must have sent
me tumbling into the opening. Once
out of the tunnel, my own yacht. the

CHAPTER XIV
More Ways Than One

Van Tasel understood now how the
king had come to America without the
publics knowledge. In his yach =,
Leander was able to sail up the Hud-
son without disembarking, to the very
foot of the cliff on which stood the
Castle of Gloom. No doubt he was now
safely secluded in his cabin, his boat
lying at anchor somewhere about New
York. His spies had found Lucretia
and watched her every move, and per-
haps their reports on Van Tasel were
what brought the king himself.
1t was clear enough how the stone
came to be in the road on the night
Van Tasel came near going over the
brink in his automobile 1t was clear
who hurled him down the cliff. Lean
der's agents had kept close watch, in
deed, on the kings rival.
The princess turned again to the sec
retary and took out a bundle of cable
grams.
"Leander is not the only one who can
have spies," she said, but SPIES co
not solve all of ones problems. 1 have
been well apprised of the kings move
ments, and his departure for New York
was known to me within an hour after
his yacht sailed from Middeldam. AL
though the populace had no not on of
his destination, my agents knew it.
So, too, my departure for Middeldam
will be known to the king unless you,
Mr. Van Tasel, can devise means of
getting me there that viii deceive even
the craftiest of his agents"
Van Tasel put down all thoughts
except that he was now a knight, in
deed, sworn to the service of the Prin-
cess Lucretia-sWorn to a trust such
as no New York chap ever was sworn
to before.
81 shall not only arrange for your
escape as you desire,' he said, but I
shall go with you to guard you. If the
high duties of my princess prevent her
from taking me as a lover, they cam
not keep me from standing watch to
preserve her to the country she serves.
The king would not hesitate at vio-
lence, even to murder, to defeat your
intended voyage"
The reply of the princess, however,
sent Van Tasel's heart to his shoes.
81 see," she said, that I must begin

looking her unflnchingly in the eyes,
'is indeed heroic. God help me to for
swear nv loVe!"
He held her fingers in his for a mo
ment, and she let them stay there,
while her eyes dropped to the floor.
Then with a quick movement Van
Tasel Strengthened and said in a voice
without a tremor:
you are my queen; it is fer you to
command. l am a knight in your SER
vice. What is your majesty's wish?'
There was the trace of smile on the
face of the princess at this melodra~
matte speech.
my first wish, Mr.. Van Tasel. is
that you dispense with court ceremony
until I am a queen in reality There
is much that still stands betwc en- me
and a throne"
Her brow darkened
"At the outset, l am called on to do
the impossible"
you refer to your departure" he
said.
His heart went down into its depths.
Her departure! She was going away
from him, forever. She was slipping
out of his grasp, and he was powerless
to stop her Indeed, by the most dire
full coincidence, he was called on to
help her.
Eyes, I must leave America secretly,
and yet my every move is watched by
an army of the kings spies. Will you
help me, Mr.. Van Tasel? viii you aid ?"
There was the despair of a woman in
her tones now, though she had forsworn
such petty trifle as love for man.
She loved him still, and yet was ask
ing him to help her go away from him.
yes" he said, simply, 81 will help
you. You have but to name the day
and hour, and you will not. find me
wanting"
'You are the only one to whom I can
turn she answered. "I have Luxem-
braut advisers in New York, to be sure,
but they are useless in such an emer-
gency. I must go disguised; otherwise
the news would be flashed to my enc
mics across the water. The success of
my enterprise depends on strategy-the
taking of the throne while Leander is
absent. Were the king to suspect that
I have sailed for LuXembrant he would
be there ahead of me, for the yacht
IbeX, in which he came to America in
cognito, is faster than the swiftest
ocean steamship"

Not Love but Hate

when Van Tasel succeeded, after furi-

dick out of bed

rubbing his eyes as he oper ed the door
of his suite. what devi.tr is up
now, that you come around in the
night, wild-eyed and scarcely able to
talk? Did the princess reject you?"
Van Tasel sank into chair. He was
In chill from the long ride and the
nervous strain of two days. His fingers
shook as he lighted a cigar.
Yes" he said, blackly.
1.-The first rejection means nothing"
soothed Fosdick. I'm fact, it's rather
favorable. When a girl really loves
a man, she turns him down a few
times to test him. You know, now,
that she doesn't want you for your
money!
Fosdick poured out two glasses of
wine.
Don't trifle," said Van Tasel.
There's work to be DONE The time
has come, Ben, for you to help me. You
haven't forgotten the vow you made to
stand by me through thick and thin?"
Fosdick was all attention.
Bully for you!' he said. you've

I'VE have renounced our love for

less, there's work to be done, and

Tasel "and for the love affair, it's

reason.

Plans for Escape

The princess was the queen now, not
the woman, and she spoke as if she
already wore a crown.

Then in one of her quick transitions,
her lips trembled and she became the
woman again. He was the lover, not
the subject-the lover whom she was
renouncing for the stern call of duty

said, because it was impossible for
you to be more. If heaven had de-
creed that we might be more than
friends, if fate had been kinder to us,
il love had been possible"
She stopped, but not soon enough,
for Van Tasel was at her side. Queen
or peasant, he would have had her in
his arms, but she held him back.
Until DEATH" he exclaimed blackly.
Il shall be lover, not friend!"

She stepped back and added, firmly,
with eyes raised to heaven:
God helping me, l forsWear my
love for Arthur Van Tasel, now and
forever!"
The princess, as she spoke these
fateful words, seemed to tower above
him like some terrible ogress. She
grew to giant stature, while he shrunk
to that of a dwarf. The room swan
before him. The lights turned to dull
specks of fire. Before God, she had
confessed, yet renounced, her love for
him. dis fate was sealed beyond re-
demption. She stood there clamly
weighing him in the scale-he, alone, on
one side, while on the other was the
whole Luxembrant populace.
He got his senses back, and the
princess, in her proper proportions,
stood before him again. Her beauty
was transcendent now. He seemed to
see bright halo about her.
"You have witnessed my struggle"
she said, "for that most sacred of all
things, duty. For my sake will you
apply the same test to yourself? Will
you swear to forget your love for the
Princess Lucretia, in the name of hu-
manity?"

longer. great hopelessness filed him

and kissed it as any courtier might
have done.

NO WORD FROM RUSSIA
Police Believe That Man and Woman
Wanted for Murder Have Escaped

Baron Schilling of Chicago in charge
of the Russian consulate in that city.
has received no word in regard to his
demand for the arrest of julius She
lanek and the woman who was known
as his wife who are wanted for the
murder of John Borkow and who are
alleged to be in st. Petersburg. A
cable demanding the arrest of the cou-
pie was sent to the officials at ST
Petersburg week ago and the Keno
sha police officers and District Attor-
ney Baker have been anxiously await
ing some answer to the message. It
is beginning to look as if the Russian
government will decline to even arrest
the suspects without a formal demand
from the United States government.
District Attorney R. v. Baker is in
Philadelphia looking after the case to-
day and he VII probable have per-
sonal conference with the secretary of
state at Washington before returning
to Kenosha. In the meantime the DO
lice are working up more evidence
against the man and the woman and
they believe that they will have an
excellent case.

County Option.

Temperance legislation may at no
time be unimportant, but the introduc-
ton of the county option question into
this campaign is nevertheless to be de-
plored.
But the question of county option
has been so raised in connection with
the governorship that it cannot he en-
tirely ignored. [ believe the present
local option and resident district option
laws, together with other existing sta
tues, confer all the power necessary
at this time for the proper control of
the liquor business. Such evils as may
exist in the present system of dealing
in intoxicating drinks are now entirely
within the power of the majority in
each community to limit or suppress at
will. Until this power has been fairly
exercised and found inadequate, no de-
mand should be made for more legis-
lation, therefore I do not favor county
option. "

COUNCIL ACTION INDEFINITE
President of the Company Sends Form
al Letter to the Board of Water Com
missioners withdrawing the Offer
Twice Made.

The Simmons Manufacturing Com
pany has sent a formal letter to the
Kenosha Board Of Water Commission
ers withdrawing its offer to purchase
the old intake from the board and this
letter practically closes all negotiations
between the company and the water
board. The letter is short and to the
point and does not go into the reasons
Of the company for withdrawing the
offer more than to state that the ac-
tion of the council in regard to the
possible building OLA new intake and
the disposal Of the old one is so in
definite that the Simmons company
does not care to wait for the council
to act. 1t is probable that the com
pany will proceed at once with the
building of a new intake. The let
ter withdrawing the offer was received
by Chairman Matt Greenwald of the
water board on Friday afternoon and
no action has been taken by the board
as the letter seemed to close all pend
ing negotiations. The company had
offered to pay the water board $4,000
for the intake and accept it when the
new intake for the Kenosha water sys-
TEN had been completed.
1t is said that the officials of the
company did not like the attitude tax
en- by some of the members of the
council toward the proposed purchase.
Some of the aldermen seemed to be Of
the opinion that the Simmons Company
would be able to save lot of money
by the purchase of the old pipe but
the officials of that company declare
that they can build new intake which
will answer their needs fully as well as
the one sought from the city at cost
not to exceed $4,000.
Members of the board of water COM
missioners when seen today refused to
comment on the action of the Simmons
company in withdrawing the. offer
''We had hoped to get something out
of the old intake" said one of the
members of the board, "'but the coun-
Gil seemed to be of the opinion. that
the amount offered by the Simmons
company was too small and we are per-
fectly satisfied to droy the matter and
keep the intake as an emergency in
take although it will be of little value
to the water company after new in
take is installed.'
