1t was then that the Majordomo, al
ways a marvellous figure In crimson
and gold, and never seen without white
glOves-the Majordomo bowed In q
window, and observed that If his royal
highness pleased, his royal highness'
luncheon was served.
In the shrouded room inside the win
dows, however, his royal highness
paused and looked around.
"Tve been here before" he observed.

mother lived here, too. When I am
older, perhaps I can have them. 1t
would be convenient on account Of my
practicing curves on the roof. But I
should need number of balls"
He was rather silent IN his way
back to the schOolroom. But once he
looked up rather wistfully at Milky.

pretty sure they would take me out

Olga Loschek had found the day one

to Milky and Hedwig was known to
the countess the night before. He'd

in her boudoir, very white and calm.

nothing more to do"
"Refuses!"
"He has promised not to leave
Otto"
Olga Loschek had been incredulOus,
at first. 1t was not possible. Men in
love did not do these things. 1t was
not possible, that, after all, she had
failed. When she realized it, she
would have broken out in bitter pro-
test, but Hedwig's face warned her.
"He is right, of course" Hedwig had
said. "You and 1 were wrong, count
ess. There is nothing to door say"
And the countess had taken her de-
feat quietly, with burning eyes and a
throat dry with excitement.
The plot was arranged, to the small

live, would, in mid-afternoOn, COM

would be gathered in anterooms and

regency would be declared, and the
court would swear fealty to the new
king, Otto the Ninth. BY arrangement

Two obstacles were left for the

Milky Larisch?
Over that problem, during the long

would be possible to overcome Milky,
of course. There would be four men.

that would mean struggle and an
alarm. 1t was the plan to achieve the
abduction quietly, SO quietly that for
perhaps an hour-they hoped for an
hour-there would be no alarm. Some
time they must have. enough to make
the long journey through the under
ground passage. Otherwise the open
ing at the gate would be closed, and
the party caught like rats In hole.
During the early afternoon the
chancellor visited the crown prince.
