ready to turn smoking out of the pan,
must come the Princess Hedwig on
foot like the common people, and de-
mand to see him.
The chancellor was in his old smok-
ing coat and slippers. He made an
effort to don his tunic, but Hedwig,
on Mathilde's heels, caught him in the
act. And, after glance at her face,
he relinQuished the idea, bowed over
her hand, and drew up a chair for
her.
And that was how the chancellor of
the kingdom learned that Captain Lar
isch, aide-de-camp to his royal high
ness the crown prince, had dIsap-
peared.
/ II am afraid 1t is serious" she said,
watching him with wide, terrified eyes.
Il know more than you think ! do. l.
we hear things, even in the palace"
Irony here, but unconscious. 81 know
that there is trouble. And it is not
like Captain Larisch to desert his
post"
"A boyish escapade, highness," said
the chancellor. But, In the twilight,
he gripped hard at the arms of his
chair. "He will turn up, very much
ashamed of himself, tonight OF tomor-
row."
"That is what you want to believe.
You know better"
He leaned back in his chair and con-
sidered her from under his heavy
brows. Milky gone, perhaps to join
the others who, one by one, had felt
the steel of the terrorists. And this
girl, ON whom so much hung, sitting
there, figure of young tragedy.
'Highness," he said ut last, IF the
worst has happened-and that I do
not believe-it will be because there
is trouble, as you have said. Sooner
or later, we who love our country
must make sacrifices for 1t. Most of
all, those in high places will be called
upon. And among them you may be
asked to help"
II? What can dor But she
knew, and the chancellor saw that she
knew.
at is Karl, then?"
at may be King Karl, Hedwig."
Hedwig rose, and the chancellor got
heavily to his feet. She was fighting
for calmness, and she succeeded very
well. After all, If Milky were gone,
what did it matter? Only
'"There are so many of you," she
said, rather pitifully. "And you are
all SO powerful. And against you there
is only-me."
-Why against us, highness7"
Because" said Hedwig-'because
care for some one else, and shall care
for him all the rest of my life, even IL
he never comes back. You may marry
me to whom you please, but shall go
on caring. / shall never forget. And
shall make Karl the worst wife in
the world, because hate him."
She opened the door and went out
without ceremony, because she was
hard driven and on the edge of tears.
That night, the city was searched for
Milky Larisch, but without result.

Humbert was in high good humor in
spite of his protests. In his pocket he
held the key to favor, aye, to plan
which he meant to lay before the com
mittee of ten, plan breath-taking in
its audacity and yet potential of sue
cess. He went to the window and put
his great shoulder against it.
Instantly Haeckel overturned the
candle and, picking up the chair
hurled it at Herman Spier. He heard
the clerk go down as he leaped for
The door. Herman had not locked it.
He was in the passage before the CON

Haeckel ran as he had never run

seconds away.
He flung himself against the doors
to the street. But they were fastened
by a chain, and the key was not in the

He crumpled up in heap as the
concierge fell on him with fists like
falls.
Some time later, old Adelbert heard

The men behind talked i'll low tones
'They are late tonight" grumblet
one Of them, as the house appeared
full lighted "a tardy start tomorrow

"The king must have his sleep,
commented the other, rather mock
ingly.
With mastery sweep, Milky drew
up his machine. Nefore the entrance,
Let tim o. sht, let him but start
his car down>Ehe road again, and all
the devils of the night might follow.
He feared nothing.
But here again Milky planned too
fast. The servant who came out to
open the doors of the motor had
brought message. "His majesty de-
sires that the messenger come In
was the bomb-shell which exploded In
Nikky'S ears.
Milky hesltated. And then some imp
of recklessness in him prompted him
not to run away, but to see the thing
through. 1t was, after all, chance
either way. These men beside the car
were doubtless armed-one at least,
nearest him, was certainly one of
Karl's own secret agents. And, as
Milky paused, he was not certain, but
1t seemed to him that the man took a
step toward him.
Every WELL" said Milky, grumbling.
"But have had a long ride, and a cold
one. / need Sleep"
Even then he had faint hope that
the oilers would precede him, and
that it would be possible to leap back
to the car, and escape. But, whether
by accident or design, the group closed
about him. Flight was out of the ques-
ton.
A little high was Nlkky's head as
he went In. He had done a stupid
thing now, and he knew it. He should
have taken his letter and gone back
with it. But, fool or not, he was a
soldier. Danger made him calm.
The lodge was noisy. Loud talking,
the coming and going of servants with
trays, the crackle of wood fires In
which whole logs were burning, and,
as Milky and his escort entered, the
roaring chorus of a hunting song filed
the ears.
Two of the men flung off their heavy
coats, and proceeded without ceremony
into the room whence the sounds is
sued. The third, however, still holding
the letter, ushered Milky into small
side room, sort of study, since it
contained desk. For kings must pur-
sue their clerical occupations even on
holidays.
Milky had reluctantly removed his
cap. His goggles, however, he VEN
tured to retain. He was conscious
that his guide was studying him In
