Hedwig. The humiliation of that mo-
ment was due to her. Somehow, some
day, she would be ever with Hedwig.
Karl left her there at last huddled In
her chair, left full of resentment, the
ashes of his old love cold and gray.
There was little reminder of the girl
of the mountains in the stony-eyed
woman he had left sagged low by the
fire.

of Karnia drew a long breath. The

He neither loved her nor needed her.
Friendly relations between the two

marriage.

Hedwig that he thought, as his car

"a cave-here in the parkT"
"T1l take you, If you'd like to see It"
Old Adelbert was puzzled. The park
offered, so far as he knew, no place
for a cave. 1t was a plain, the site
of the old wall, and now planted in
grass and flowers. He himself had
seer 1t graded and sown. A cavel

'That's a secret. But I'll show it to
you, If you won't tell"
Old Adelbert agreed to silence.
Until midday, when the railway
opened for business, the old soldier
was free. So the next morning, due
precautions having been taken, the
two conspirators set off. Three,

But she saw, by the very way he

doubted her. He questioned what she

told him only the truth added to her
resentment.
"You will see," she said sullenly.
Because he thought he already saw,
and because she had given him a bad

She had done well up to now, had
kept her courage and her temper, had
taken her cue from him and been quiet
and poised. But more than his words,
his cruel voice, silky with friendship,
drove her to the breaking point.
Bitterly, and with reckless passion,
she flung at him Hedwig's i~nfatuationl

1t was strange.
Bobby was removing the leaf-mold
with his hands. ut was almost all
covered when I found it," he said, in
dustriously scraping.
The door swung In, silently, as
though the hinges had been recently
oiled; as indeed they had, but not by
the boy.
"It's rather dirty" he explained.
"You go down steps first. Be very
careful"
He extended an earthly hand and led
the old man down. "It's dark here,
but there's a room below; quite a good
room. And l have candles"
Truly, a room. Built of old brick,
and damp, but with a free circulation
of air. Old Adelbert stared about him.
1t was not entirely dark. A bit of
light entered from the aperture at the
head of the steps. By it, even before
Bobby had lighted his candle, he saw
the broken chair, the piece of old car
pet, and the odds and ends the child
had brought.
Old Adelbert felt curiously shaken.
None have visited this place since you
have been here?" he asked.
81 don't srbpose any one knows
about 1t. Do your
"Those who built it, perhaps. But
it is old, very old. 1t is possible"
He stopped, lost in speculation.
There had been a story once of a
passageway under the wall, but he
recollected nothing clearly. A passage
way leading out beyond the wall,
through which, in a great siege, a
messenger had been sent for help. But
that was a passage; while this was a
dungeon.
The candle was at last lighted. 1t
burned fitfully, Illuminating only a tiny
zone in the darkness.

There's a draft here. 1t comes from

beyond it. 1 was kind Of nervous
about going alone"
1t was the old passage, then, of
course. Old Adelbert stared as Bobby
took the candle and held 1t toward a
grated door, like the first, but
A close examination revealed to old
Adelbert two things: First, that a

"The sound of wooden legs annoys
him." observed the mocking student,
lighting a cigarette. "He would hear
only pleasant sounds, such as the noise
of tax money pouring into his vaults.
Mel can think of a pleasanter: the
tolling of the cathedral bell, at a GER
tain time, will be music to my ears |"
Old Adelbert stood, staring ahead.
At last he went out into the street,
muttering. "They shame us before the
people," he said quickly.
The order of the council had indeed
been issued, a painful business over
which Mettlich and the council had
%pondered long. For, in the state Of
things, it was deemed unwise to per-
NIT any gathering of the ~populace en-
masse. Mobs lead to riots, and riots
again to mobs. Five thousand armed
men, veterans, but many of them in
their prime, were in themselves a
danger. And on these days of ami
versary 1t had been the custom of the
university to march also, a guard of
honor. Sedition was rife among the
students.
The order was finally issued.
Old Adelbert was i'll that night. He
tossed about In a fever. His body
ached, even the leg which so long ago
had moldered In its shallow grave Oh
a battlefield. For these things happen.
By morning he was better, but he was
a different man. His eyes glowed. His
body twitehed. He was stronger, too,
for nov he broke his sword across his
knee, and flung the pieces out of the
window. And with them went the last
fragment of his old loyalty to his king.
Old Adelbert was now, potentially, a
traitor.
On the morning after Adelbert had
turned his back on his king, Bobby
Thorpe rose early, SO early, indeed,
that even Pepy still slept in her mar
row bed, and the milk sellers had not
started on their rounds. The early
rising was a mistake, owing to a watch
which had strangely gained an hour.
Somewhat disconsolately, he "a
dered about. Heavy quiet reigned.
From a window he watched the meat
seller hang out a freshly killed deer,
just brought from the mountains. He
went downstairs and out on the street,
past the niece of the concierge, who
was scrubbing the stairs.
