CHAPTER VII.
The Secret Chamber.

Nervously King Leofric of Urania
paced his apartment. twitching at his
mustache and pulling his beard. Why,
he pondered, did not the varlets come
with the beauty of the forest? From
time to time he gazed eagerly at the
door and listened expectantly. his
features distorted by the passion
which the very thought of the lovely
Godiva inflamed within him.
And then the door opened and San
cha entered leading the affrighted
captive. All In white she was ar
rayed, In the clinging folds of the
drapery Of her couch; for not a mo-
ment had been hers to supplement
with cloak or mantle the robe de mutt
in which the kings retainers had sur
prised her.
Welcome, Mistress Godiva," the
king said, bowling low. Welcome to
the palace. Thou dost tremble, child.
Surely tbs but the trembling Of one
in strange surroundings and not be-
cause of fear Of your sovereign"
"Ay. in that last hazard Of thy evil
BRAIN" the girl said. emboldened by
the mortal fear that possessed her.
thou speakest very truth. For, in
deed, am in great fear of thee.
sire"
Calm yourself. maid." the king
said. REST upon yonder couch and
fear no evil. As for thee, Sancha-
you may leave us. I would speak
alone with our guest"
Sancha bowed and backed from the
presence.
King Leofric now sat upon the
couch beside Godiva.
"Godiva," he said. thou hast in
spired In my heart a great love for
thee. Riches thou shalt have and
fine raiment- Thou hast but to con-
sent graciously to abide within the
palace as my guest. Thou shalt be
raised from rank of peasant to that
Of a great lady. Art pleased?"
mo. SIRE the girl replied. simply.
"I crave but one boon of thee. Per
nit me to return to the house of my
father"
"Ah. so thus blows the wind" said
his majesty. springing up and
scarcely now concealing his true and
vile self from his helpless captive.
then 1t will be necessary to immure
thee here till such time as thou shalt
become accustomed to the new life
/ destine for thee"
With that the king pressed a secret
spring beside great painting that
was fitted in the wall. The painting
swung on central pivot. revealing a
chamber beyond-the secret chamber
"Godiva. be pleased to enter thy
chamber" the king commanded.
The girl sprang up and sought to
dart from the apartment. But the
king intercepted her and by force
thrust her through the opened panel
and into the secret chamber. He
then closed the panel behind him.
This is thy very own bedchamber.
Godiva," the king said. "Yonder is
thy couch and here thou shalt tarry
as my guest. And shouldst thou con-
tinue to be unwilling guest. then
count this chamber also thy prison"
His majesty leered at her. gloated
over her beauty. sought to take her

company. II thou art not satisfied
with my favors as they are, then thou
hadst best thyself begone from the
palace"
Now to be gone from the palace was
farthest from Sancha's aims. For his
duties as chamberlain to the king had
perquisites of great value in doubloons
and Sancha had no hankering in his
breast to forswear those perquisites.
So now he made haste to say:
ALAS. fair Dulcinea. l could not
leave the palace even II would. For
your beauty. dear queen, holds me
within the palace walls as one bound
with chains of iron"
This was the kind of fattery that
Sancha well knew was liked by the
queen. Flattery was to the ears of
this proud patrician of Urania as meat
and honey to the palate. So now she
smiled upon sancha and unburdened
her mind of her own evil and cunning
plans.
This night, Sancha." she said, thou
shalt destroy this beauty of the for
est upon whom mine eyes have looked.
There is lust in my heart for the sight
of her own heart torn from her body.
Even SO would slay the wench were
I a man. Art thou. Sancha, such a
mani"
"Ay, mistress. even such a man am
l." the chamberlain replied. Thou
hast but to command me-"
well, then, Sancha, tonight when
all is dark in Urania, steal thou forth
from the palace with not too many Of
the kings retainers and go hence to
the cottage of the shepherd Rivarre
and secure there the heart Of this Go
diva girl. Bring thou that heart to
me and I-well. who can say, Sancha,
what reward shall be thine when my
gratitude is to be manifested?"
"As thou commandest, your majesty,
SO shall 1t be. Tonight when all is
dark none in Urania shall possess
beauty even approaching thine own.
For. in the darkness. Godiva shall
cease to live and her heart shall adorn
thy bedchamber"
And having made these plans, the
queen and Sancha stole into the pal
ace by the postern gate.
Meantime the king paced his apart
ment in impatience and in wonder thst
Sancha, his chamberlain. came not for
his orders. But now at last Sancha
entered and cringed before his maj
esty, even as servile and unworthy
crawling things called men cringe be-
fore the person they most fear.
"Sancha," said the king, this night
thou shalt do me service"
"As your majesty Wills" replied
snncha, again making low obeisance.
This night, Sancha. when darkness
is over all Urania, take certain Of my
retainers and go hence to the cottage
of Rivarre the shepherd"
At this command Sancha trembled
in his riding boots. For the order was
the counterpart of the one already
given by the queen. And how was any
court chamberlain to serve master and
mistress at the same time unless-Ah,
that was it-unless both sent him on
precisely the same errand.
"And when you reach the shepherds
cottage" the king now continued. you
will seize the person Of Godiva. the
beauteous maiden. and bring her
hither-alive Ay. mark you we'll.

Have to Wear Winter

burned up early this morning. And
but for the good work of William l..
King, tillerman for the Mount Vernon

day.
King resides opposite the Rosenfeld
home. About 2 o'clock this morning
he heard someone cry "Fire!" He saw
smoke coming from rear window of
No. 7O7. With some difficulty the Ro-
senfelds were awakened. King found
the flames confined to a bureau on the
second floor. Two buckets of water
extinguished the blaze.
The Rosenfelds sleep in the front
room. The fire was in an adjoining
room. Fire Chief Kinder believes the
fire started from matches in one of the
bureau drawers The loss is estimated
at $65 and is covered by insurance.

GERMAN AMBASSADOR

Understanding May Be Reached
Whereby U. 5. May Obtain
Freedom Of Seas
BERNSTORFF PRESENTS VIEW
Germany Believed to Be Willing
to Join Uncle Sam in Effort
to Establish Principle
BERNSTORFF PRESENTS VIEW

Washington, July 16.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
told Secretary Lansing to-day he be-
lieved the German reply to the last
American note on, submarine warfare
presented opportunity FOR settlement
of the controversy by further diplo-
matte negotiation.
The ambassador conferred with Mr..
Lansing an hour and talked later
with Assistant Secretary Phillips. In
the absence of President Wilson, Sec
retary Lansing was unable to inform
the ambassador what course the Unit
ed States would pursue in its next
note, but he heard with much inter-
est Count Won Bernstorff' eXplana-
ton of the purposes of the German
government to satisfy public opinion
at home on the maintenance of sub
marine warfare, and at the same
time, to maintain friendly relations
with the United States.
The Ambassador personally is con-
vinced there will be no repetition Of
the Lusitania disaster, and that Ger
man submarines now are exercising
great precaution to avoid incidents
which might infiame public opinion in
the United States. With the idea in
mind, he urged that the United States
take advantage of the intimation in
Berlin's reply, that Germany would
be willing to have the entire question
of freedom of the seas mediated with
Great Britain through the American
governm ent. Such a course American
officials have indicated might be more
welcome II accompanied by some as
surance that during the pendency OF
the negotiations American vessels and
lives would be safe from attack and
danger.

HOlU to Banish
Wrinkles Quickly

II your face Is dishgured with
wrinkles, no matter what the cause, you
can quickly dispel every line, even the
most obstinate, by using a simple,
home made wash lotion. Merely dis
solve an ounce of powdered saxolite in
a half pint witch hazel-inexpensive
ingredients found in any drug store.
Battle the face in this. and-presto!-
you scarcely believe your own eyes
when you look into your mirror and
behold the marvellous transformation!
The remarkable astringent action OF
the saxolite so tightens the skin,
wrinkles are literally pressed out. Best
of all, this result is not purely tempo
rary, for the lotion also has a health
full tonic action, which tends to
strengthen and tone up the weakened
tissue, and added benefit may be ex-
pected with continued use. Use this
once day for awhile; 1t cannot injure
the most delicate skin, the treatment
itself leaves no trace-no one guesses
the secret of your Increasing youthful
appearance.-Adverti
