Michael after time. !e, E.e ask you
question Yolrs was ever Z keen
eye for beauty. and god scent On
the trail Of beauty Itself Tell me,
then. what became Of that beautiful
young American who 20 lately was
with us-anc Who. II you will allow ne
70 Eay IL, had 20 much 70 do with the
late repg!ge Of your forces? | have
not seen her since that time-nor, nov
that ! recall it, have seen her friend,
Count Frederick. They have been
gone some days or hours. ! cannot
tell which measures their absence,
whether clock or calendar. but
know she ia not here, for every room
Of the palace has been searched for
her, and she is not found
Your majesty" reioined Sachio, 1t
ia Astonishing how a keen brain like
your own can guess anOther's secrets,
also make d claim to humble intelli-
gence enough TO have guessed your
wishes In this matter, but, alas, can
be Of no service 10 your majesty. |
grieye 70 add. neither can anyone else
be Of service"
What? She Ia dead"
Oh, not 80 bad as that But she is
gone
"Gone-where?'
ITO her own country-back TO that
America Of which your majesty has
heard her boast 50 freely
How do you know this, my friend?"
demanded Michael
Sachio smiled. Who should know
better" said he. Let me confess. We
took yCnder young lady prisoner and
carried her away with US, but we
could not hold her az such Indeed,
we no longer hold any quarrel with
Gretzhoffen and there was no longer
a question OF prisoners as between
the two kingdoms. This young lady
was seen to take ship"
AT what port?"
At ours. your majesty. Her aston.
ishing ingenuity enabled her to escape
from our guards Like Catilne OF old,
she has escaped. she has evaded, she
has broken forth And a good rid
dance OF her 80 say we ALL"
AN, my good Sachio? / am not so
sure. How shall | rid my memory OF
her eyes 80 beautiful. her hair 80 low
able her fgure-her 80 charming and
delicate figure? Fortune does not
often repeat such fayors We may
not expect to see her like again at any
early date"
That is as II is," said Sachio, pre-
tending to heave a vast sigh Of sym
pathy. But what can we do? She
took it all into her own hands, and
by this time is well on her way to
America There is not the slightest
doubt regarding either her departure
or her destination she was rather
bold about It, in fact, and made no
secret Of her plans
Was she a spy, think you, Sachlo?" !
without doubt, your majesty, and / |
well rue it that she did not receive .
the punishment 1T for spy True,
she was beautiful"
Yes. yes" assented Michael. Such /
eyes, such a 1gure-think you that
she will rcturn?"
Il truly hope not, your majesty"
returned Sachio fervently. and for
,nce he spoke the truth. even on the
nance OF offending this amorous king.
