Thanksgiving for Peace

A few days liter there was TO be a
ceremony in the cathedral OF Prague-a
Thanksgiving for the return Of peace 10
the empire All the great mobiles Of Bo-
hernia were to appear in state and among
them few could outrank In wealth and
splendor the Count Slegendorf.
Ulric wished to be away upon some
Of his daring expeditions for destroy
ing that same peace-a hunting party
he represented IL to be.
But his father represented to him how
strange 1t would appear IL the heir of
Siegendorf rode not in the procession
with the other young mobiles. heirs Of
great houses
IF such are your commands. sir,
obey" said Uric. So Uric was present
and rode in the cavalcade with the other
young mobiles, his plume stateliest, his
bearing more majestic than that Of any
youth who rode there
The services Ia the cathedral were
gorgeous and elaborate-the pageant
splendid
And high among great mobiles of the
land in the cathedral sat the man who
once. as Werner, had been driven by
poverty to steal gold from his enemy.

A Penniless Wanderer

More tnan all, he suspeeted-and sus-
pected rightly-that an enemy was
on his trail ana he knew that the in
tendant had taken from him almost his
last piece of coin.
Even II the floods subsidized how could
he continue his journey? Between him and
a vast inheritance lay the swollen rivers
and the absence of money
This stranded man-this penniless wan
Gerer-was none other than the Count
Siegendorf.
His father had recently died. He
was the true heir But. wild and reck-
less In his youth, he had been at vari-
ance with his father and had added to
the old counts displeasure by CONT ct
ing a marriage with the portionless
daughter of Florsatine noble. which
noble was an exile from his native land.
Together they had borne poverty and
suffering.
When a son had been born to them the
old count had asked that the boy be sent
to his keeping. He would have nothing
to do with his son or his daughter-in-law;
but would take the boy under his care.
With tears and great reluctance jose
phine and Werner" consented to the
giving up of their SON sixteen years had
passed now and they had not seen the
boy. for whom their hearts yearned.

Seeking a Culprit

The fellow traveller of Gabor-the one
who had played the principal part in res
cuing the baron from what had come
near being his watery grave-had not
as yet appeared at the palace. He sent
word he would appear the next day.
Every one was most anxious to see
him, for he was said to be a youth 81
almost superhuman beauty, strength and
courage
The morning after the arrival of the
rescued baron at the palace there was a
great row among the retainers of his
lordship and those who had been as
signed by the intendant to look after
the OLD ruined house. The baron had
been robbed of a rouleau of gold some
time during the night
Who was the culprit? Hhis -1ordship
would offer a large reward TO discover.
He suspected the stranger. Gabor, who
had been with him In his chamber just
before he fell asleep and who had
strange TO say-refused a money re-
ward for pulling him out of the water,
That looked of itself suspicious. And
the money had been lying spread out
upon the table while Gabor had been
present.

In the Ruined Palace

In the hall of a decayed palace near
a small town on the northern borders
of Silesia. on q tempestuous night, a
man who called himself Werner. and
his wife. Josephine. were talking to-
gether OF tho dangers which encom-
passed them. and of the vicissitudes Of
fortune which had led them to their
present condition.
The time was at the close OF tho
Thirty Years War--that war which had
SC devastated Europe
rhe two had been travelling toward
the borders of Bohemia In an humble
carriage when Werner was overtaken
by illness and craved from the intend
ant OF the absent prince who ruled the
domain shelter in this abandoned and
decayed refuge.
AS the man and his wife had some
Jewels OF value about them, the intend
ant HAD consented, ana had even sup
plea nedlcai care for the stranger.

Witness to the Murder

you remember--if not your son does
that that day the locks upon the baron
chamber doors had been changed They
were changed beneath the care OF Uric.
How he entered he best knows, but
within the ante-chamber-the door OF
which was half ATARI saw a man who
washed his bloody hands and often, with
stern and anxious glance. looked back
upon the bleeding body on the bed
Il beheld his features-it was your SON.
Uric. I conceived myself betrayed by
you and him into a seeming guilt for thisa
murder-thought you had concealed ma
In the secret passage that Appearances
should be against me-and fled
Chance led me to Prague and found
Werner in Count Siegendorf Now my
fortunes have me both venal and true at
present l am In need. You shall aid
me as | have, and will, aid you"
The count cast his eyes upon Uric, who
was leaning against a pillar, tho picture
OF guilt. He bade Gabor go through a
door into turret and there await him
few moments while he talked with hi8
son.

A Face Below

After the magnificent ceremonies the
count returned to his castle in state
of great perturbation and sent at once
for Uric. When they were met alone
the count said "Elric. | have seen the
murderer"
Whom? Where?" said Uric.
The Hungarian who killed Stralen-
helm. I swear it, saw him, heard
him and have sent out many emissaries
TO intercept him before he shall leave
Prague.
The re Deum was being sung In the
church, and as ! stood IN our hammered
and escutcheoned gallery / looked down
upon the line Of lifted faces below and

Meeting n New DANGER

When they were alone Uric coldfy
avowed that the tale OF Gabor was
true. 1t was he himself who had killed
Starlenheim.
But this is no time for talking" said
Uric This man must not leave tho
castle until he is as dead as Stralen-
helm
AS to the killing of the baron, is IL
strange that I should have acted and
dared, whore you only looked and
longed and did not dare? While the
man who stood between us and our
Inheritance lay beneath your dagger
you only robbed him of some gold and
did not daro to do what afterward I
did
"stir not and speak not; will rid us
of this new danger as 1 did of the other
one"
Uric rushed from the room to call
some Of his hirelings to help him dis
patch Gabor AS soon as he had left
the room Siegendorf entered the turret
and called to Gabor
You must fly" he said; here arc
the Jewels" He was In full regalia from
tho festival and tearing off his uniforms

lor's hands.

BY WAY of Renaratinn

Werner reached his estates in safety
and was changed into the count Siegen-
dorf without question. Uric followed
him as soon as he had completed his
work at the old frontier palace.
The count told his son of having hid
den Gabor In the secret passage and
believed that Dor had. of course, been
the assassin. Uric thought that there
could be no doubt of 1t.
IF ever find that miscroant who
murdered Stralenheim,' said Werner
whom we must now call Siegendorf-"I
i'll have vengeance upon him, though
his victim was my deadliest foe"
His stealing of the gold from the
bGron's chamber-his hiding OF Gabor in
the secret passage. thus making the
murder possible, were matters which
" eighed heavily upon the conscience Of
the count
BY way of reparation he conceived the
idea of marrying Uric to the daughter
of the murdered Stralsnheim. She was
the Lady Ida and Ida was in love with
Uric before she had known him many
months.
