The three conspirators were of the
same mind. 1t was clear that some
thing must be done. But what?
That was the question. Gourou de-
clared that the people were very
much disturbed over the trick the
great capitalist had played upon the
cabinet; there were sullen threats Of
a revolt II the government insisted
on the deposit of bonds as required
by the agreement. More than that,
there we're open declarations that the
daughter Of Mr.. Blithers would never
be permitted to occupy the throne of
Graustark. Deeply as his subjects
loved the young prince, they would
force him to abdicate rather than
submit to the desecration of a throne
that had never been dishonored.
They would accept William w. Blith
ers' money, but they would have none
of William w. Blithers' daughter.
