queen. She had laid aside her mantle, and the moonlight glmmered on her jewels. When they had all sat down, she raised her own glass, and without rising to her feet, gazed around with curious smile.
 .Ladies and gentlemen, thank you" said she softly, but quite audibly You have drunk strange toast, for, so long as Pannonia lacks king, l can never be queen there Shall we drink to-the Kings leturn?"
 She looked, not at Theobald, but straight at the ambassador. He did not hesitate. He arose, full glass in his hand, and gave the second tosat-"Pannonia's future king!"
 Evadne rose. Her glass, too, was full. "His excellency has not got my toast quite fight" said the steadily; "to the Kings re- turn"
 The ambassador knit his brows. He fixed upon the audacious girl eyes that seemed as if they would read her thoughts. If she dared to speak thus, he was inclined to think that his widest suspicious must be true. He showed, however, no slightest per turbation, but raised his glass; "We drink our toast as the lady gives it," said he coldly "To the Kings return"
 He was the only member of the embassy who raised his glass to his lips; but Theo- bald stood up bravely and spoke out the worlds boldly, like challenge. He had no objection at all to toasting what seemed to him to be the impossible. He would, moreover, have toasted the evil one himself at Evadne's bidding.
 As Evadne raised her glass to her lips, she caught, as by mischievous fate, the eye of Stepan the waiter, fixed upon her as he stood facing her, among the shadows.
 It was but for an instant that their glances encountered; but that instant gave her the solution of her riddle. She knew why she feared the man-sensed it as plain ly as if he had spoken-met end under stood his naked thought. It was natures

hood, she dared not spend the night in her ing Bar-Bar that she was coming up to Flormar in future every night.
 Prince Glanzngfors, Nordern ambassa- dor, had begun the evening with the hap piest anticipations. He had no doubt of Theobalds feeling, and very little of the lady's. The toast she had given awoke, however, all the lurking suspicious with which he had come into the country three months ago. Stories which he would have dismissed as idle rumors came home now to memory with deep significance. He felt as if Nordernreich were playing the game with bandaged eyes. What did Evadne mean? Was it just nothing at all but a girls caprice, girls love of mystification? Or was it possible that he, the representa- tive of great Nordernrech, was being made fool of? He sat ruminating over various unpleasant possibilities; and meanwhile, the object of his solicitude was wandering away somewhere in Theobald's company, among the romantic ruins.
 The entranced price was moving through a land of faery, with the lady of his dreams.
 The moon SNOne III tHe SCdT-pOWueTeu the rose window in the western wall of the abbey, and showed the recumbent ala baster effigy of the last abbess, that un- fortunate lady who, having embarked with her nuns to cross the lake and meet the bishop one stormy night, was caught in the Cloister current and lost. The boat and all it's inmates had drifted to destruction in the jaws of the terrible Loophole rock.
 These old stories sounded impressive enough when she related them.
 The moon shone in the tsar-powdered heaven, it's radiance unbroken except for a low bank of clouds in the northeast, where summer lightning played fitfully and whence the low growl of thunder was faintly heard from time to time.
 Theobald left nothing undone to secure the undisturbed society of the, princess. He told off Won Jolt and Yon Reulenz to

it. Marriage in their eyes was a matter of arrangement. Husbands would, of course, be provided for them sooner or later The serious part of life was politics. Theobald and Evadne were politics. They recognized their preponderant importance. Neither of them was any use in the game. They could not have detained Mir. Varley five minutes with the charm of their con- versation or appearance.
 Theobald and Evadne rested on bit of messy wall, where maidenhair grew wild in the cifts They sat facing south, gazing over the lake without a ripple, whose shores lay lost in velvet darkness; at the twink ling lights which showed where Veros lay; and to the left of that, the ring of less frequent lights which marked the little scattered "plages" upon the southeastern curve of the coast.
 It had been said that the Karneru See resembles a pear in shape, with the wide end southward. The Cloister Isle lies a long way north, where the lake has begun to narrow, and the distance is but four or five miles from shore to shore. Just to the north of the isle the eastern margin of the lake is precipit us, and cut by the violent waters of the Inza river which rush down vehemently, foaming and seething after it's descent from the moun- tains of Marvilon. Quite near the spot where the Inza debouches there is power full spring rising in the~bed of the lake, and this is caught up by the entering waters of the river, combining to form the dangerous rapid knowr as the Cloister current, which streams past the north end of the isle, rushing on a western course About halfway between the isle and the western shore of the lake the violence of the current is broken, but it's danger much increased by few jagged peaks of rock which lie right in it's course, and are known as the Loophole.
 When they had looked their fill toward the south, Evadne made Theobald look round, and pointed out the legend-haunted place, relating the story of the last abbess and her nuns. The only trace ever found of these ill-fated ladies Was broken oar

expect her to feel that Pannonia should be hers, would one not?"
 There was little pause. They had thought to pose the girl and she had posed them instead.
 "Nordernreich,' said the ambassador at last, lis displaying to all Europe her mag nanimity. The people who used to sheer at her must surely take juster view now that they see her wisdom and fair dealing We'll, dear princess, it is an open secret Shat you once stood upon the steps of the khrone of Pannonia. It is my wish, and hat of my Emperor, that you mount those Aeps, and seat yourself upon that throne Jly friends, this is not public occasion, ve are all intimate here, let us drink to the future Queen of Pannonia!'
 While all sprang to their feet and drank are toast with enthusiasm, Evadne leaned 1sck in her chair looking every inch .

 "True. But now and then things do come right. Once in way real queen sits upon throne; and,' he dropped his voice-''a royal marriage is really love marriage"
 Something in this place tends to sad- ness; perhaps it's too beautiful" she said rising. "Take me somewhere e;se-:ec us stroll, shall me-"
 ''The sailors told me-" he said, as he helped her to her feet, that the finest, far the finest view of the ruins, is to be had from boat, off the western shore of the isle. I do wish I could show you that; but they say we must return as we went, down the eastern coast for fear of this current,
