teal prince had a superstition that his
luck went with him In the person OF
the Chevalier Beaupre.
II was all as 1t should be; he was
entirely happy. He had asked three
wishes of the good fairies, as he had
said long ago; that the prince should
be emperor-that he might become "a
marshal of France under another Bona
parte"-that Alike should love him.
The first two he believed about to be
realized The last? II was not now
the time to think OF that Alike had
kissed him good-by. That would more
than do till the fight was over. So he
sped back to London, missing Pietro,
but hopeful and buoyant And In Lon
don there was letter for him from
Virginia.

only when came back that discov-
cred the dreadful mistake had made.
Can you ever forgive me? Harry and
thought over every possibility Of stop

chance. Are you very angry with me,
dear friend of Harry's and of miner"
The letter went on with reproaches
and regrets and finally slipped into a
tale of new happy life which Fran
co.'s had made possible for the two.
He read 1t over several times. His
letter to Alike. which should have been
sent only after his death, had gone to
her. What then? She would know
that he loved her; that he had loved
her always; that he would love her
forever; that the one wish of his life
had been that she should love himself
not Pietro. He had said that in the
letter; that was all. He was glad that
she should know, though he would
never have told her In life. 1t was
done and he would find out now II
Pietro indeed cared for her, il she
cared for Pietro. And If not, then one
had waited long enough; then at last
the joy of the thought choked him.

room in the London lodging where he

Hampton reached Alike at the chateau
of Vicques. She carried it to Pietros
room where he sat in a deep chair at a
window which looked over Deles-
monies valley and the racing Cheulte
river, and the village strung on the
shores. His elbow on the stone win

at the familiar picture.
Alike, coming in without knocking
at the open door, stepped across and
stood by him, and he did not lift his
