 "So Raoul of Marvilion used to say. He believed we were made for each other. But I must get on with my tale."

 'sWhat of that horrid waiter who sneaked round here into the garden the other day?"
 'Mistitch caught him. fancy he will never show his face here again"
 "He's the man I am afraid off," said Evadne "When we go to the picnic to- morrow, you look at him carefully. When Ra was staying here without you, that man was listening and watching all the time."
 But even if that man is untrustworthy- as is more than likely-why should you bother you head about him? If he comes here again Mistitch would lay him by the heels; and moreover the man must know that at word from Floremar, Rastitch would run him out of the country. The point is that, whatever he may be, he can not in any case be concerned in this affair of the message. tell you frankly, I do not believe it possible to elude the vigilance of the guard-more especially now since Mistitch has been put specially on the qui vive by notion that spies are about.

 Such an adventure as he planned to at tempt was exactly of the kind to appeal to Humphrey Varley in his present mood

 His own freedom of action was so perfect and so unchallenged that he had no dlffi- culty in leaving the palace unseen, nor in making his way to the place he had in mind. There was a sentry at that very spot, and by waiting at a respectful dis

tance until the man was at the end of his beat, and then creeping forward to his post of observation, he installed himself quite undetected. When the sentry came back he saw that it was Anton, young, handsome forester, to whom Prince Ra was rather especially attached. Varley decided at once to use him as his test case, since he felt sure of his friendly attitude to- ward himself, should be fail in his bit of detective work.
 The relief party soon appeared, and Anton, punctually released, went off at once, walking at such rapid pace that sometimes Humphreys preoccupation was not so much to follow unheard to keep him in sight at all

At the end of half an hour or more they were out on Kyriel Moor, and in the open it was harder. They traversed some ex- tremely rough ground, and he was so afraid of coming too close that he almost lost sight of his man.
 Just as he was fearing that he had actu- ally done so, he found that the path turned sharp to the left, and the roar of water fall became audible
 Anton was ahead, ascending mountain path which followed the left side of tor rent rushing down from the high moor above. The path was well defined and not difficult. On it's right was the water, on it's left belt of frs and larches raised on bank.
 The amateur sleuth-hound had now plenty of covert, and, moreover, the rushing of water to drown any chance sounl he might make.
 Anton was whistlins as he went up. Tho tune he whistled was one dimly familiar to Varley, but he could not put name to it, for he was not musical, and tunes made but confused impression upon his mind.
 Halfway up the mountain path Anton, SAS JouAS SudAuS SIOPPCu ouuuCHiy duAt0 still, whistling few bars very clearly and piercingy; after which he waited as though listening. If he expectd reply, he was disappointed. All was perfectly silent, and he went on. It was considerably past mid- night when bright beam of light, shining down the glen, showed that he and Varley. who was following, were approaching . habitation.
 This was evidently where Anton lived, for he went in without knocking. Humphrey paused and sat down to reflect awhile, for he was puzzled. The Kilstrain peasant as rule uses no artificial light.
 Now the substantial cottage at which he was staring though it stood in the glen, the black belt of trees behind outlined its shape clearly for him--was not only lit, but brilliantly lit. Light was streaming out from no fewer than foar windows, two below and two above.
 From the moment when Evadne told him of the astounding fact that her room had actually been entered he had been con vinced that treachery in the guard itself was the only explanation. Here was . fact, in connection with member of that

 The princess sat up in the hammock and took box from the table near her. Varley pushed her footstool, and he sat thus, leaning forward so that no word might be overheard, while she told the story of the two messages and showed him the morsels of paper upon which they were scrawled
 "Now," said she at the conclusion, "what do you think?'
 Varley rose, and walked twice up and down the veranda before giving his opinion.
