London, July 2C-"The relations be-

the inn where Mettlich had spent hls
uneasy hours.
She had expected to 60 to the lodge
but at nine o'clock that night KaF,
came to her. knocking at the door Of
her roo and entering without writing
for permission.
The roo was small and c0zy with
freight. Her scarlet cloak, flung over
a chair, made a dash Of brilliant color.
Two lighted candles on a high carved
chest, and between them a plaster flg-
ure Of the Mother and Child, q built-in
bed with white curtains-that was the
room.
Before the open fire Olga Loschek
sat In her low chair. She wore still
her dark dress; and a veil, ready to be
donned at the summons Of a message
from Karl. trailed across her knee. In
the freight she looked very young
young and weary. Karl, who had
come hardened to a scene. found her
appealing. almost pathetic.
She rose at his entrance and. after
a moment Of surprise, smiled family.
But she said nothing. nor did Karl,
until he had lifted one Of her cold
hands, and brushed 1t with his lips.
"Well" he said. "And again,
Olga
"Once again."
She looked up at him. Yes, he was
changed. The old Karl would have
taken her in his arms. This new Karl
was urbane. smiling, uneasy.
There is nothing wrong. is there1"
he said. "Your note alarmed me. Not
the note. but your coming here"
Il was anxious. And there were
things l felt you should know"
"What things"
1.-THE truth about the kings condi-
ton, for one. He is dying. The bulle-
tins lie. He is no better"
"So!" said Karl uneaslly. "But the
chancellor assured me" He stopped.
1t was not yet time to speak of the
chancellor's visit.
THE chancellor! He lies, Of course.
How bad things are you may Judge
when I tell you that a hidden passage
from the palace has been opened and
cleared, ready for instant flight"
1t was Karl's turn to be startled.
He rose, and stood staring down at her.
Are you certain Of that?"
Certain" She laughed bitterly.
THE terrorists-revolutionlsts, they
call themselves-are everywhere. They
know everything, see everything.

CHAPTER XIV.

The Crown Princes Pilgrimage.
The day when Olga Loschek should
have returned to the city found her
too Ill to travel. No feigned sickness
this. but real enough. a matter Of fever
and burning eyes, and Of mutterings
In troubled sleep.
Minna was alarmed. She was fond
Of her mistress, In spite Of her oc.
caslonal cruelties, and lately the
countess had been strangely gentle.
She required little attention. wished
to be alone. and lay In her great bed,
looking out steadily at the bleak noun.
tain tops, to which spring never
climbed.
"She eats nothing" Minna said
despairingly to the caretaker. "And
her eyes frighten me. They are al
ways open, even In the night, but they
seem to see nothing"
On the day when she should have
returned, the countess reused herself
enough to send for Black Humbert,
fretting In the kitchen below. He had
believed that she was malingering I'm.
til he saw her, but her flushed and
hollow cheeks showed her condition.
"You must return and explain" abe

him was dead at last.
"Yes. I do not know how far your
arrangements have gone. You have
ut least been warned"
But she saw, BY the very way he
drew himself up and smiled, that he
understood. More than that, he
doubted her. He questioned what she
had said. The very fact that she had
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
moment, Karl chose to be deliberately
cruel. "Perhapsr" he said. but you
leave out of this discussion the one
element that I consider important,
Hedwig herself. II the Princess He'd
wig were tomorrow to be without a
country, / should still hope to marry
her"
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 infatuation
for young Larisch, and prophesled his
dishonor as a result Of 1t.
In the end she grew quiet and sat
looking into the fire with eyes full Of
stony despair. She had tried and
failed. There was one way left, only
one, and even that would not bring
him back to her. Let Hedwig escape
and marry Milky Larisch-still where
was she? Let the terrorists strike
their blow and steal the crown prince.
Again-where was she2
Her emotions were deadened, all,
save one, and that was her hatred Of
Hedwig. The humiliation Of that mo-
ment was due to her. Somehow, some
day, she would be even 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.
Once ont in the open air. the king
Of Karnia drew a long breath. The
affair was over. It had been unpleas-
ant. It was always unpleasant to
break with a woman. But It was time.
He neither loved her nor needed her.
Friendly relations between the two
countries were established. and soon,
very soon, would be ratified by his
marriage.
It was not Of Olga Loschek. but Of
Hedwig that he thought, as his car
climbed swiftly to the lodge.

for which the boy would pray, but q
greater one. Surely these kneeling
people, gazing with moist and kindly
eyes at the crown prince. could not,
at the hot words Of demagogues, turn
into the mob he feared. But It had
happened before. The people who had,
one moment, adored the Dauphin Of
France on his balcony at Versailles,
had lived to scream for his life.
The countess, standing on her bal.
cony and staring down into the valley,
beheld the pilgrimage and had thus
her first knowledge Of It She was
incredulous ut first, and stood gazing,
gripping the stone railing with tense
hands. She watched, horror stricken.
The crown prince. himself. come to
Etzel to pray! For his grandfather,
Of course. Then. indeed. must things
be bad with the king, as bad 40 they
could be.
The church doors closed behind
them.
Olga Loschek fell on her knees. She
wa shaking from head to foot. And
because the religious training Of her
early life near the shrine had given
her faith in miracles, she prayed for
one. Rather. she made a bargain with
God:
II any word came to her from Karl,
any. no matter to what It pertained,
she would take 1t for a sign, and at.
tempt flight. II she was captured, she
would kill herself.
But, II no word came from Karl by
the hour Of her departure the next
morning. then she would do the thing
she had set out to do, and let him be-
warel The king dead, there would be
no king. Only over the dead bodies
OF the Livonians would they let him
marry Hedwig and the throne. It
would be war.
Curiously, while she was still on her
knees, her bargain made the plan
came to her by which, when the time
came, the terrorlsts we're to rouse the
people to even greater fury. Still
kneeling, she turned It over In her
mind. 1t was possible. More, It could
be made plausible, with her assistance.
And at the vision 1t evoked-Mettlich's
horror and rage. Hedwig's pulling
tears. her own triumph-she took q
deep breath. Revenge with q ven.
seance. retaliation for old hurts and
fresh INJURIES, these were what che
found on her knees, while the bell IN

let the bargain came very close to
