HEY slept rather late in the morning, first because they were very much fatigued after their long journey, and scond for the reason that they had been urla ble to woo slumber until long past mid night. Anguish stretched himself la zily in bed when he heard Lorry's voice from the adjoining room. ) "I suppose we are to consult the Po lice in order to get a elev to your charmer,'' he yawied. "Nice 'rin'ids you tick up on railway journey.! i'u be ashatmled." "Well. II:Irry." I'll confess I'1in d.: gusted.

Aftr breakfst they did go to see the iron theiangloss. After some .in quiry they found the gloomy, foreod Ing prison, anl Mr. Anguish boldly pounded pn the huge gated. 4 little shutter ue\s open, and a mn's face appeared. Evidently he asked WhtI was wanted, but hie might as well hia~v demanded their lives, so far were they frp.m. ulie stauding his query. sBaron Dangloss?" aked .Anguidlh promptl ', The na tt'sed something else, butFas the Amiercans shooli their heads deprecatingly he withdrew his face and presently swung open the gates. They entered and be closed the doors behind them, locking thet in, Then he directed thinciios the courl To an open door in the aged 11141s ol gray stone. As they strode away from the guard Lorry created conteternationl by denIii'dt.:' -... .-.-- --- "How are we to talk to the chief if he doesn't understand us or we him.? We should have brought an interpre ter." "I forgot about the confounded lan guage. But if he's real he can talk 1rish." Lorry told him ie wasn't fun ny. "Is this his excelleacy Blaroii Datn gloss?" asked Anguish, stepping into a small room and stopping suddenly in the presence of the short, fierce men they had seen the day before. TI'e Atmeriean spoke in French. "It is, gentlemen. Of what service enn I be to MM. Lorry and Anguish?" responded the grim little chief,. polite. ly rising fr'om beside his desk. The visitors looked at one another in sur prise. "If he .knows our names on auchi short notice, he'll certainly know the (lug genslockers," said Anguish to his friend in English. "Ah,. you are looking for some one named G uggenslocker-?" asked the chief, smiling broadly and speaking exellent Enigili. "You tmust not he surprised, gentlemen. I speak manny latnguages, I heard last night that you were in quiiring about one Caspar (Guggenshock er, and 1 have racked my brain, search ed myi) books, questioned my ofiicers, andu I am sorry to inform you that t here is no such personi in Edel weiss."

"O01"' gasped Anguish. "We couldn't find o4trselves if we should be separat ed, captain." The glizziy bearded captain laughed lightly with themn and then asked Lor ry if he wouid object to giving him the full story of lis acquaintanceship with the alleged Giraustarkians. lThe bewil dlered and disheartened American Dromptly told all he knew about t.hemn, omitting certain tender details, of * course. As he proceedell the chief grew moti and miore interested, and wheu at last Lorry camne to the de sori3tpton of the strange trio be gave a suQden start, exposed a queer little smile for a second or two and then was ams eplxns.fike as before. The ever vigi lant Anguish observed the involmmtary stort agjj swife, qatok as thme tArlef had STARK By ,-, R McCUTCHEGN td been to recover himself, and felt a thrill of triumph. To his anger and- impa tience, however, the old officer calmly shook his head at the end of the narra tive and announced that he was as flinch in the dark as ever. "Vell, we'll search awhile for our selves." declared Anguish stubbornly, not at all satisfied. "You will be wasting your time," said the chief meaningly. "We've plenty to waste," retorted the othter. After a few moments they departed, Baron I)angloas aecoinpanying them to the gate and assuring thent that he and his inen always would be at their coin rniaid.

It was then that Anguish asked if ho might be permit ted to use his camera. There was an instarrt and emphatic refusal, and they were tol that the pass would be rescinded if they did not leave the camera outside the gates. Uelu.e'tant ly Anguish deposited his lhckless box in the steward's ofiloe, and they passed into the broad avenue whxicr led to ward the palace. A guard, who served also4as a guide. stepped to their side before they had takeni ten paces. Where he came fromi they niever knew, so instantaneous was his appearance.
