The one who had brought her made
the tenth.
Had she not known the past record
of the men before her, the rather opera
,bouffe setting with which they close
to surround themselves might have
aroused her scorn. But Olga Loschek
knew too much. She guessed shrewd-
ly that, with the class of men with
whom they dealt, it was not enough
that their name spelled terror. They
must visualize it. They had taken
their cue from that very church, in
deed, beneath which they hid. The
church, with it's shrines and images,
appealed to the eye. They, too, ap-
pealed to the eye. Their masks, the
carefully constructed and upheld
mystery of their identity, the trappings
of death about them-it was skillfully
done.
Still no one spoke. The countess
faced them. Only her eyes showed
her nervousness; she stood haughtily,

her head held high. But like most
for long, at least the silence of
shrouded figures and intent eyes.
"Now that l am here" she de-
.manded, "may 1 ask why 1 have been
summoned?"
1t was Number Seven who replied.
1t was Number Seven who, during the
hour that followed, spoke for the 9th
ers. None moved, or but slightly.
Evidently all had been carefully pre-
arranged.
"Look on the table, countess. You
will find there some papers you will
perhaps recognize"
She took a step toward the table
and glanced down. The code book
lay there. Also the letter she had sent
by Peter Niburg. She made no effort
to disclaim them.
81 recognize them," she said clear
ly.
do you realize what will happen,
madame, If these papers are turned
over to the authorities?"
She shrugged her shoulders. And
now Number Seven rose, a tall figure
of mystery, and spoke at length in a
cultivated, softly intoned voice. The
countess, listening, felt the voice
vaguely familiar, as were the burning
eyes behind the mask.
"It is our hope, madame" he said,
tt@Ia4 r,o,, r,;II -aoIvo ~ .-,D0oo1aA$r
for the committee Of ten to use those
papers. We have no quarrel with
women. We wish rather a friend than
an enemy. The committee of ten, to
those who know its motives, has the
highest and most loyal Of ideals-to
the country"
His voice took on a new, almost a
fanatic note. They had watched the
gradual decay of the country, he said.
It's burden of taxation grew greater
each year.. The masses sweated and
toiled, to carry on their backs the dead
weight of the ~aristocracy and the
throne. The iron hand of the chancel-
1or held everything; an old king who
would die, was dying now, and after
that a boy, nominal ruler only, while
the chancellor continued his hard rule.
And now, as If that were not enough,
there was talk of an alliance with
Karnia, an alliance which, carried
through, would destroy the hope of a
republic.
The countess stared.
'"The price of the alliance, madame,
is the Princess Hedwig in marriage.
The committee, which knows all
things, believes that you have reason
to dislike this marriage"
Save that she clutched her cloak
more closely, the countess made no
move. But there was a soft stir among
the figures. Perhaps, after all, the
committee as a whole did not know all
things.
ITO prevent this alliance, madame,
is our first aim. There are others to
follow. But"-he bent forward-"the
king will not live many days. 1t is
our hope that that marriage will not
occur before his DEATH"
BY this time Olga Loschek knew
very well where she stood. The com
mittee was propitiatory. She was not
In danger, save as it might develop.
They were, In a measure, putting their
case.
"King Karl has broken faith before.
He will not support Livonia until he
has received his price. He is de-
termined on the marriage"
"a marriage of expediency," said
the countess impatiently.
The speaker for the committee
shruaead his shoulders. "Perhaps." he

CHAPTER X.
The Committee of Ten.

On the evening of the annual day OF
mourning, the party returned from the
fortress. The archduchess slept. The
crown prince talked, mostly to He'd
wig. and even she said little. After
a time the silence affected the boys
high spirits. He leaned back in his
chair on the deck of the launch, and
watched the flying landscape.
1t was almost dark when the launch
arrived at the quay. The red carpet
was still there, and another crowd.
Had Prince Ferdinand William Otto
been less taken up with finding one of
his kid gloves, which he had lost, he
would have noticed that there was a
scuffle going on at the very edge of
the red carpet, and that the beggar of
the morning was being led away, be-
tween two policemen, while a third,
running up the river bank, gingerly
deposited a small round object in the
water, and stood back. 1t was merely
n of the small incidents of a royal
outing, and was never published in
the papers. But Father Gregory,
whose old eyes were far sighted, had
seer it all. His hand-the hand of. the
,church-was on the shoulder of the
crown prince as they landed.
The boy looked around for the little
girl of the bouquet. He took an I'M
mems interest in little girls, partly
because he seldom saw any. But she
was gone.
When the motor which had taken
them from the quay reached the pal
ace, Hedwig reused the a~rchduchess,
whose head had dropped forward on
her chest. "Here we are, mother" she
said. "You have had a nice Sleep"
But Annunciata muttered something
about being glad the wretched day was
over, and every one say Prince Ferdi-
nand William Otto seemed glad to get
back. The boy was depressed. He
felt, somehow, that they should have
enjoyed it, and that, having merely
endured it, they had failed him again.
The countess. having left her royal
mistress in the hands of her maids,
went to her W apartment. She was
mot surprised, on looking into her mir
ror, to find herself haggard and worn.
1t had been a terrible day. Only a
second had separated that gaping lens
in her bag from the eyes of the officers
about. Never, in an adventurous life,
had she felt so near to death. Even
now its cold breath chilled her.
However, that was over, well over.
She had done well, too. A dozen pic
lures of the fortress, of its guns, of
even It's mine chart as it hung on a
wall, were in the bag. Its secrets, so
securely held, were hers, and would
be Karls.~
1t was a cunningly devised scheme.
Two bags, exactly alike as to appear
ance, had been made. One, which she
carried daily, was what it appeared to
be. The other contained a camera,
tiny but accurate, with a fine lens.
When a knob Of the fastening was
pressed, the watch slid aside and the
shutter snapped. The pictures when
enlarged had proved themselves per-
feet.
Pleading fatigue. she dismissed her
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-04-19


Prince Ferdinand William Otto was
supremely happy. Three quite delight
full things had happened. First, Nix
ky had returned. He said he felt per-
fectly well, but the crown prince
thought he looked as though he had
been Ill, and glanced frequently at
Nikky's cigarette during the riding
hour. Second, Hedwig did not come
to the riding lesson, and he had Nix
ky to himself. Third, he, Prince
Ferdinand William Otto, was IN the
eve of a birthday.
This last, however, was not unmixed
happiness. For the one day the
sentence of exile was to be removed
so that he might lunch with the king,
and he was to have strawberry jam
with his tea, some that Miss Braith,,
waite's sister had sent from England.
But to offset all this, he was to re-
ceive a delegation of citizens.
Hedwig was not at the riding
school that morning. This relieved
Prince Ferdinand William Otto, whose
views as to Milky were entirely sell
fish, but Milky himself had unaccount-
ably lost his high spirit of the morn
ing. He played, of course, as be al
