Whatever Milky had intended-of
obeying his promise to the letter, OF
putting his country before love. and
love out of his life-failed him instant
~. The Milky ardent-eyed and tender
armed, who crossed the roof and took
her almost fiercely In his arms, was
all lover-and twenty-three.

When, having kissed her, he drew
back a trifie for the sheer joy Of again
catching her to him, 1t was Hedwig
who held out her arms to him.

If he had not entirely lost hts head
before, he lost 1t then. He stopped

his arms about her, holding her close.

"Alwaysl" said Milky, valiantly and
absurdly.
sIike this?"
Like this" said Milky. who was,
like most lovers, not particularly
original. He frightened his strong arms
about her.
Then, because she dared not give
him time to think, she made her plea
rapid, girlish, rather incohereft, but
understandable enough. They would go
away together and be married. She
had It all planned and some Of 1t ar
ranged. And then they would hide
somewhere, and--"and always be to-
gether," she finished, tremulous with
anxiety.
And Milky? His pulses still beating
at her nearness. his eyes on her up
turned, despairing young face, turned
to him for hope and comfort, what
could he do? He took her In his arms
again and soothed her, while she cried
her heart out against his tunic. He
said he would do anything to keep her
from unhappiness, and That he would
die before he let her go to Karl's arms.
But if he had stopped thinking before.
he was thinking hard enough then.
"TonightY' said Hedwig, raising q
tear-stained face. SIT is early. If we
wait something will happen. know
IT. They are so powerful, they can do
anything"
He put her away from him at last.
after he had kissed her eyelids and
her forehead, which was by way OF
remuneration. And then he folded his
arms, which were treacherous and
might betray him. After that, not dar-
ing to look at her, but with his eyes
fixed on the irregular skyline of the
city roofs, he told her many things,
of his promise to the king, of the dam
ger, imminent now and very real. Of
his word of honor not to make love
TO her. which he had broken.
Hedwig listened, growing cold and
still, and drawing away a little. She
listened, even assented, as he pleaded
against his own heart, treacherous
arms still folded. And II she saw his
arms and not his eyes. It was because
she did not look up.
Halfway through his eager speech,
however, she drew her light wrap
about her and turned away. Milky
could not believe that she was going
like that, without a word. But when
she had disappeared through the win
dow, he knew. and followed her. He
caught her In Huberts room. and drew
her savagely into his arms.

king. What can they d0?'
That aspect of things, to do her
credit, had never occurred to Hedwig.
She paused in front of the countess.

"If knew, highness, that some one,

She was very wise woman. She
left then, and let the next step come
from Hedwig. 1t followed, as a mat

four hours sooner than she had antici-
