RIGHT and early the next morn ing the party was ready for thi last of the Journey to Edel weiss. Iaess tihan twenty mile separated Ganlook from the capital amnd the road was in excellent condi. tion. Beverly Calhoun, tired and con tented, had slept soundtly until aroused by the princess herself. Their roomi adjoined each other, and when Yetive shortly after daybreak, stoic into the Amerani girl's chamber Beverly'was 4sleeplug so sweetly that the intrudel would have retreated had it not beer for the boisterous shouts of stable boys in the courtyard below the win dows. She hurrIed to a windowv and. looked out upion the gray cloaked morn lag. Postillons and stable boys were congregatedi near the gates, torment lug a ragg4ed oltd man who stood with~ bis back against one of the hugo posts, In sonme curiosity, she called Beverly from her slumbers, urging the sleepy one to hasten to thle window. "Is this one of your frIends from thi widerniess?'" she asked. "It's Franz!" eried Beveriy, rubbing her pretty eyes. Then sheo became thor oughly awake. "What are they doing to him? Who tire those ruffians?" she (temanded indignantly. ,"They are my servants and" "Shame on them!l The wretches! What has old Franz done thamt they abould- Call to them; teli 'em you'll cut their heads off If they don't stop.

A dozen pairs of eyes weru turned upward; the commotion ended suddleniy. In the windtow above stood two graceful, white robed figures. Thi sun, still far be'low till ridige of imoun.I tains, had not yet robbedt the mlorinl of tile gray, dewy shadltows that be'loni to 5 o''clock. "What are you diolng to thait poor ohl man ?" crIed Yetive', tanda it was thn first time any of theml had seen angei in thme princess' face. They slunk btael in dismay. '"Let hunt alone!

"He has gone, your highness." in frightened tones. - "So much the better," said the prin cess, dismissing- him with a wave of 4 the hand. Gart went away in a daze. - and for days. he took every opportunity to look for other signs of mental dhis order In the eonditet of his mistress, at the same time- induilig inl specituation as to his own soundnes~ts of mind. Oanlook's popurntion lined the ehief thoroughfare, awilting tlie departure of the princess. although the hour was early. Beverly peered forth curiously Ias the coach: moved off. The qnuint, half oriental enstumes of the towns people, the odld little children, the bright colors,. the perfect love andl~ rev erence that shone in the faces of the multitude Impressed her deeply. She. was never to, forget that picturesque morning. Baron Da'n'gioss rode beside the coacha until it passed through the southerna gates and into, the countryside. A company of cavah-ymeun acted as esa cort. The- bright red trousers and1( top, boots, with the deep blue Jac'kets, re. mInded verly more thani ever of the. operatic tgres she had sceen so often: at home. There wqs a fierce, dark east to the faces of these soldhiers, hiowever.. that removed any suggestion of play.. The girl was in ecstasies. Everything about her appealed to the romantie side of her nature. Everything seemed so unreal and so like the story book. The princess smiled lovingly upon the throngs that lined the street. There was no man among them who would not have laid down his life for the gracious ruler. "Oh, I love your soldiers," cried Bev erly warmly. "Poor fellows, who knows how soon they may be called upon to face death in the Dawsbergen hills?" said Yetive, a shadow crossinig her face. Dangloss was to remain in Ganlook for several days, on guard ,against manifestations by the Axphainlans. A corps of spies and scouts was working with him, and couriors were ready to ride at a moment's notice to the castle in Edelweiss. Before they parted Rev eroly extracted a renewal of his promise to take good caro of Baldos.
