There was small shrine near
the castle wall and in front OF
this 4olaada was standing little
Max.
The night was very dark and
the young girl, who had risked
SO much to meet the man she
loved, showed by her movements
that she understood the risks she
ran; Tor It is safe to say IL Max
were found with her It would
mean short shrift for him even
y Charles knew the truth of his
high degree.
Max came hurrying out OF the
shadows the moment he spied the
girl Of his heart and seized both
her hands.

You should not get ANNOYED,

You should have pity on her.
Il am willing to forget iii about
her-I have been willing ever since
met Yolanda, g said Max.
But you haven't told me who
you, are, cried Yolanda. who,
having read the secret of the ring
to her own satisfaction, now de-
sired to hear from Max's own lips
all about the throne Of which he
had spoken in such general terms
on the ride from Basel.
Max hesitated moment; then
ne led Yolanda to q bench. near
the shrine, and, holding her hand,
told her IN detail who he was and
what had been his object in coming
to Burgundy, and now" he said,
as he finished. "you know all about
me"
but why don't you go to the
castle and where you will be roy
ally received instead OF running
away from Peronne as you talk OF
doing?"
Yolanda knew his answer before
he gave 1t, but she was not averse
to hearing how much he loved her
even though Max did not say the
words directly.
II came to see the princess, but
! have found someone else"
His feelings got the better OF
him and he rose and stood look
ing down at Yolanda.
Don't you see, he cried, II am
prince, and princes cannot speak
what Is In their hearts"
Yolanda held out her hands
in appeal, but Max steeled HIM
himself to tell this burgher girl
/ he loved her-that is, not as
yet--for he knew honor must
keep his lips sealed.
He put his hands over his
eyes and while he stood there
the girl experienced one Of those
happy moments of the woman
who discovers the man she
loves Is worthy of her.
Max had come to such q
state that he felt the only
right thing to do was to say
good.by and say 1t quickly and
leave Yolanda to put the proper
Interpretation on his action.
Some day you will under

Then II you must co. said
the girl, won't you give me
something to remember you?''
Max was poor enough In world
Iy goods, and with q shake of
his head indicated that he had
nothing worth while to offer.
With h bit Of coquetry, mixed
with daring, YoIanda took his
hand and indicated the ring.
II think I'd rather have you
give me that than anything
else" she said, smiling.

and kissed her finger tips.
Out Of the shadows came the
voice OF Campo asso; "Why
kiss lady's hand when her
lips are so iiear?"
Yolanda put her hands before
her face as though terrified to be
seen by this follower OF the court.
His insulting words were followed
by q laugh as he approached:
