Cresco plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1913-1945, 1913-12-19

trio light burned dimly at the top of
the stairway. and Paul saw, to his az
constituent, dim figures moving here
and there, pulling great trunks of
trees across the entrance to the main
corr1cor, while Clothilde directed
them. AS Paul and the officers ap-
preached all ceased their labors for
q moment, and the princess uttered
little cry of JOY which set Paurs heart
beating wildly. The barrier was al
ready four feet high. The three
climbed over, and took their stations
among the defenders.
what time does the loyal regiment
arr1ye?" asked Captain Won Thurn;
and the rest gathered round Paul In
wistful expectation.

NO more was said, but they contin.

fences.
Outside it was growing light. The
trees showed green against the wide
windows, and birds were singing
Presently tramping, mingled with
distant cries, was heard in the court
yard.

Arnim, and they ran back and scram'

they stood grimly waiting. The sounds
grew louder, hoarse shouts broke the
silence: suddenly mob Of men rush

bed the princess. And I have my
aide with me-" She looked back.
PAUL" she called. And Paul came
forward blithely with his finger upon
the brim of his hat.
"Sit up by the coachman, Paul.
said the princess.
It was less than IN hour after Paups
installment in the castle when the
princess bell rang. and, passing
through the swing door, he emerged
upon . magnificent hall Of marble,
with . richly carpeted grand stairway
descending toward the splendid en-
trance way and state banqueting
rooms on the ground floor. At the
head Of the stairway, In the wide hall,
was the emperor's suite. and ct the
door stood the princess. When Paul
came up to her she clasped his hands
warmly.
"Henceforward you are groom no
longer" she said, with Z rather anx-
ious smile. Come in, Monsieur Paul.
My uncle is in q good condition now.
and understands something Of the
plot against him. Two Of his gen.
tlemen are here, also. Come in"
"This is the gentleman, uncle, Of
whom ! spoke to you" said the prin.

devotion"
The old man nodded and smiled gra-
ciously.

suddenly doomed out from among the
foliage of the encompassing trees. Paul
drew rein; he was trying to locate the
position of the stream which he had
formed; he was uncertain, too, wheth.
or he should turn his horse loose or
ride boldly through the besiegers.
Upon his meditation fell the sharp
challenge of sentry.
Halt! Who goes there?"
THE man sprang up almost from
beneath his feet. Paul had presence
Of mind to reply: a
Captain Won Houzrath!"
But you must give the countersign,
sir" the man protested, his bayoEet
lowered indecisively. Paul mumbled
something and spurred his horse,
leaped past the soldier, saw the gate
open. and galloped madly along the
drive and into the main entrance Of
the castle. He heard shots fred be-
hind him; then followed silence. No
one was in pursuit Of him. Doubtless
the besiegers felt sure enough Of
their prey. E3
But in that hasty flight Paul had
noticed that there was an ominous
hustle and stir in the camp.
At the gate Of the castle two Of
the officers, to whom Paul had been
introduced, came running forward.
When they saw who their visitor was,
they clasped his hands eagerly.
"They attack at morning." one of
them exclaimed. "Stepan has be.
come alarmed, and will postpone it no
longer. The servants have deserted
us-this piece Of news came from
loyal stable boy. Conle with 10

been cut; we have no loyal regiment

burg. So you must leave at once.
Monsieur. You know the way?"
Five minutes later, accompanied by
Won Arnim, Paul was threading q BY
way through the forest which emerg-
ed upon an unfrequented road in .
suburban district upon the way to
Freiburg. At this point the great wall
which surrounded the castle was
broken by q swift stream, fringed with
thick reeds and underground. Won
Arnim pressed Paurs hand.
"Once safe beyond the river" he
said. you will come upon the Frei.
burg road. Horses and automobiles
pass continually. leave the rest to
you. Watch for the sentries! Good
luck!" He pressed his hand and was
gone.
Paul crouched among the reeds, en-.
tered the stream noiselessly, and
struck out toward the opposite shore.
Five minutes later, under cover Of twi-
light, he had passed the besieging out
posts and gained the Freiburg road.
He waited. dripping with water, shiv.
ering in the cool of the evening. Pres
emily q slowly trotting pair Of horses
came along, drawing barouche in
which a stout elderly lady was seat

coachman. Paul drew q pistol from
his pocket, walked up, and extended
his hand. The man refined in.

commanded. "This is the carriage Of

YEARLY the old man signed the
much coveted order; then sank back
in his chair, exhausted, and presently
nodded into slumber.

tily. Monsieur Lane-Count Won Arm

"Or else," said Won Thurn pessimis-
tically, there will be another tragedy
of st. Bartholomew day."
Does Monsieur Lane comprehend
fully how desperate the situation
really isl" broke in Won Arnim. "Here
we are, six loyal gentlemen, the sole
bulwark Of Austria against destruc.

is to take place and are impudent to
us. We can rely on none Of them !;
we must be satisfied that the servil-
ity of their natures forbids them to

here are we, six, the emperor's sole
friends, and our enemies are so sure
of success that they can calmly wait

BIG LEAGUES READY
TO FIGHT OUTLAWS
Major Organizations Have Large Sum
of Money in Reserve to
Wage War.

New York, Oct. 20.-The American and
National Leagues have on hand a joint
fund of more than s, 10000 TO be used
in fighting any outlaw baseball move
ments.
The threat of the Federal League To
war on the major league organizations
this year today caused one of the major
league magnates 20 declare that the war
talk did not frighten the big leagues, and
that they long had been preparing for a
war. He stated that for ten years each
club had been assessed 10 per cent of
its net earnings, and this sum was placed
in the treasury of the two leagues un-
der supervision of the National Commits
sion to be used IN emergency.
In addition to ehis fund, the National
Commission has about 100000 itself, the
amount left of the $4,000 which it has
received for its share of the nine Of the
worlds series it has conducted.
