He had almost begun to think that
the princess was keeping to her cabin
with malignant intent, when she dis
proved this conclusion by coming on
deck.
Van Tasel had just come out of one
of his love-trances, and had steeled
his heart against all foolish senti-
ments, but he suffered an instant re-
lapse, when he beheld the form of
Lucretia. She stood clinging in alarm
to the rail, as the vessel poised for a
moment on the crest of a wave, and
then descended, with a fearful plunge.
into the abyss of the sea. The wrap
she had thrown about her shoulders
was streaming to windwerd like a
pendant, the gale had caught her
tresses, and only her desperate clutch
on the railing prevented her from
being tossed about the deck like a
cork.
Van Tasel sprang to her rescue, and
found ample excuse to get his arm
around her waist.
MY princessi" he said "you should
not have ventured out here alone. Why
didn't you send me word?"
The smile that she gave him was
from her most maddening brand 1t

Van Tasel had his hands full, getting
the princess to a sheltered seat aft,
where the projecting roof of the cabin
helped to keep the wind off.
Il love the sea-, she told him, as
she caught his arm when the yacht
descended into the depths. IL love it
oh, so much"
There wasn't a trace of his good re-
solve left. Not more than five minutes
before, he had been telling himself how
he should cling to his vow to forget,

echoed, quickly.
She became instantly sober. She
took her hands from his arm and held
fast to the seat. instead.

NATURES MICROSCOPE

Nature offers a free microscope
whenever one is wanted. She has been
dealing in free optical instruments and
optical phenomena ever since the first
dewdrop formed or the first randrop
fell earthward. Every dewdrop ami
raindrop and spherical water drop has
all the powers and principles of a
miscroscope. To get one of Natures
microscopes in operation take up a
drop of water between the two points
of two sharpened sticks, say matches,
and hold the drop over the minute OBJ
Jeet to be examined. The result will be
that the object will be magnified about
three diameters. The supposed inven-
tion of the microscope was nothing
more than shaping piece of glass into
an imitation of a water drop So as to
be easily handled.
Spiders have made suspension
bridges for ages. The rough edge of
swordgrass gave the inventor the idea
of the reaper blade for the harvester.
The buzzard has been using the aero
plane for flying a good many centuries.
BY tapping on the end of a long beam
the man at the farther end can hear
you telegraphing, the sound travelling
through the timber. Fishes have been
using bladders of wind for balloons
lifting them in the water for countless
years. Water has been a camera ever
since the world had sunshine.
Help yourself to Natures store of all
things man needs; but never say any
thing about the invention. Nature in

CHAPTER XLlIl
On he Sea

For two days the He'll Diver kept
straight on It's course before the Prin-
cess Lucretia ventured to leave her
cabin for the seas ran high.
Van Tasel strangled his impatience
as best he could, consoling himself
with the reflection that every hour
she kept herself from his presence
was an hour less of agony. Neverthe-
less, there were times wghen his reso-
luton wandered. There were times
when he forgot his vow utterly, and
swore, by all that was good, he would
marry Lucretia, If he had to proclaim
himself King of Luxembrant to get
her.
Once, while in such a mood, he fell
to wondering If he couldn't dig up a
pedigree, away back in Holland, that
would entitle him TO marry a queen.
He never had traced himself back more
than ten generations. Just as likely as
not, he had royal blood in his veins. At
any rate, If he couldn't discover royal
pedigree, why not buy one? He had
money enough to buy anything-why
not purchase purple blood? Surely for
a million he could get enough royal
relations to entitle him to a crown!
However, he abandoned this scheme
pedigree, he argued, but, at the best,
his bogus royal ancestors would be too
ancient to avail him in the eyes of
"The devil take theml" he exclaimed,
in disgust. Il want no royal grand
fathers. If l have to marry Lucretia
Los Angeles herald., 1910-03-20

A minute or two later the He'll Diver
and the Sea Gull slipped quietly away
to sea
The night was we'll spent, yet the
darkness was deepest. Van Tasel
stood moodily on the bridge with the
captain and watched the eding
lights of the metropolis, as they faded
into the mists. 1t seemed to him like
the gentle falling of a curtain over
an act of a drama. What was the next
act to be?
Never had his passion come over him
with more consuming force than it did
as he watched the gap widening be-
tween him and his country-and felt
it narrowing between the princess and
Luxembrant. He was taking her back
deliberately surrendering her.
Yet she was still in his power. If he
chose. he could keep her Why
shouldn't he keep her? Why take her
over to LuXembrant at all?
The thought made his heart thump.
He knew that he had a strange power
over her. He had seen her fighting
against it, Why not use it now? Why
not sail to some far-away shore, and
there claim her for a bride, where
thrones and oppressed kingdoms, and
such bothersome things, would not
annoy her?
1t would be simple, Van Tassel
thought, but a revulslon came over
him. She was his guest-helpless in
his hands. To betray her trust would
be the act of a monster. No Van
Tasel was ever a traitor-nor ever
should be, If he could prevent? Not
even his overmastering love for Lu-
cretia should tempt him to depart from
the path of honor. No, the princess
hould be safe in his hands. He would
give her up to her country, though
his life thereafter be naught but the
should be safe in his hands. He would
branches.
Van Tasel smiled grimly as he
growled out this flowery smile.
Inflamed with his devotion, but
now resolved to keep fast to his vow,
he saw the night depart. When the
dawn spread over a temptestuous sea
the breakers of Sandy Hook were
into the western horizon.

CHAPTER XIII
New York Fades Away

There was nothing for Fosdick to
do but go with the Sea Gull. Reluc-
tantly he took Van Tasels hand, and
the chums stood in silent emotion.
"God bless you, Ben!' said Van
Tasel. you're the truest friend a
man ever had"
"There's no other man could get me
to do it," answered Fosdick. IF ever
a fellow could win a princess, that fell
low is you. Your nerve is sublime. 1
double my wager that you get her,
and a throne along with her. You'll
be king of Luxembrant yet"
mo" sighed Van Tasel, IF 1 won
her at ALL it would have to be with
out the throne, and do you think any
woman would refuse a crown for the
love of man? No. Ben, 1 am only
a knight, now, fulfilling most sacred

to this affair of yours solely to take
the princess to Middeldam-not to go
kiting all over the world in search of
a cannibal island on which to deposit
the king. I'll not do any such thing!"
Fosdick had vivid impression of the
princess maddening beauty. To be
robbed of a trip across the ocean with
so charming a girl was not to his
liking.
Yes, you will,' said Van Tasel,
mildly. you must. You are sworn to
stand by me to the death. Have you
forgotten that all of us are bound by
the most solemn oath?''
There's not a thing in the oath that
requires me to take command of the

MY dear boy" returned Van Tasel,
'if you're not a millionaire now, you
will be. l intend to settle a million
on you in return for what you do for
me. For million dollars, Ben, can't
you afford to keep the king out of the
way for a few months?"
thing like resentment came into his
voice.
I'm not an object of charity, van.
and l don't want your millions. l could
not take it. Isn't there some other
way you could dispose of Leander?"
''Tll leave that to you. Throw him

until you get to sea. However, l know
you're too tender-hearted for that. Oh,
come, Ben, agree to it, I'll fix up your
old law business--a long siege of ty-
phoid fever, you know! Doctors or
dered the sea cruise!'
Fosdick was still growing objections
when the boats prov touched the side
of the Sea Gull. At that moment there
were signs of activity aboard the hex,
lying at anchor a short distance off. A
light or two flashed on the deck.
1t was nervy to put the king aboard
the enemy's craft, under the nose of
his own yacht, but his majesty had
no voice to make a disturbance and no
telegraph outfit on his person.
"Quickl'' whispered Van Tasel. up
with you, Ben. The devils will be get
ting wise in a minute"
Then to the king he said with mock
politeness:
assist you? You might get a ducking,
you know, and you'd find it unhandy
to swim without arms. Good by, Lean
der. Pm obliged to you for coming
along"
What the king would have said if
it hadn't been for the gag that was
crammed down his throat might per-
haps have made history.

CHAPTER XII
The Flight

With a fast automobile, empty New
York streets and a generous price paid
for a boat, it did not take Van Tasel
long to get the princess aboard the
Hell Diver, still lying at anchor. AS
the girls feet touched the deck, he
whispered:
I'VE are safe, Lucretia. The rest.
my princess, will be fair enough san
ing"
He pressed her hand, and though
she had forsworn love, she did not re-
sent it.
He took her, himself, to the cabin.
The Hell Diver had been prepared for
the princess two days before. Ameri-
can Beauties lent their fragrance to
the apartment. The original furnish
ings had been replaced with still
greater elegance. The rugs on the
glistening floors were priceless exam
pies of Van Taseis extravaganza; the
shades through which the lights shim-
mered were of Tiffany's most beauti-
full models The hangings gave the
place richness. 1t was a cabin fit for
a queens voyage, indeed.
The princess, exhausted, sank to
seat. Her glance thanked Van Tasel.
He touched an electric button to sum-
mon the maids he had engaged to att
tend her Then he remembered Pris-
ella. Sure enough, there she was, in
instant readiness at the door of the
cabin!
"You will see that she wants for
nothing" he said.
Priscilla was in raptures at the
thought of going along with her
James.
'Yes, your 'ighness."
Van Tasel turned again to Lucretia.
"Have no fear of the king. l shall
dispose of him so that he will not
trouble your kingdom for some months.
Before his majesty comes to light
again. you will be queen of Luxem-
brant, beyond peradventure."
He left her in the care of Priscilla.
Meanwhile, Fosdick had remained, at
Van Tasels command, in the small
boat with Leander. They were to put
the king aboard the Sea Gull, a stones
throw away. to be shipped off to a
cannibal island.
I'm sorry Ben" said Van Tasel,
that you've missed out on your trip
with the princess. It's really too bad!
1 wish you could go with u.s.
"What" cried Fosdick. Am l not
to go with the He'll Diver, as we
planned?"
'I'm deuced sorry, my boy, but I
must sidetrack you to the Sea Gull,
along with His Majesty. 1 haven't
doubt but that both of you would pre-
fer to remain on the He'll Diver, with
the princess and me-"
"The deuce!" said Fosdick. angrily
"You don't intend to ship me off on
a three months cruise with a captive
king, do you, Van Tasel?"
What else is there to do? hope
YOU don't suppose that 1 would go on
the Sea Gull myself, and give the prin-
cess to you? Now that we've got
Leander. 1 shall go on the Hell Diver,
of course"
"See here!" cried Fosdick. in revolt;
that sort of thing doesn't go. l agreed
