Ganlook's population fined the chief thorough fare, awaiting the departure of the princess, althourgh the hour was early. Beverly peered forth 'curiously as the coach moved ofli. The quaint, half oriental costumes; of' the to'tfis people, the odd little chilhiren. the bright colors, the perfect fove and rev erence that shone in the faces of the multitude ipressed her deeply. She was never to forget that picturesque morning. Baron Dangloss rode beside the coach untIl it passed through the sunthern gates and into the countryse.e. A company of cavalrymen acted as es cort. The bright red trousers and top boots, with the deep blue Jackets, re minded Beverly more than ev'er of the operatic figures she had seen so often at home. There was a fierce, dark cast to the faces of these soldiers, hio'vever, that removed any suggestion of play. The girl was in ecstasies. EverythIng about her appealed to the romaintic 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. Thiere was no man among them who would not have laid down his life for the Igracious ruler. "Oh, I love your soldiers," cried Boy 1erly warmly. "Poor fellows, who knows ho0w soon' .they may be called upon to face death in the Dawsbergen hills?" said Yetive, a shadow crossing her face. Dangloss was to remain in Qanlook for several days, ,on guard against manifestations by the Axphalinians. A corps of spies and scouts was working with him, and couriers were ready to ride at a momient's notice to the castle' in Edelweiss. Before they parted Bev erly extracted a renewal of his promise Ito take good care of Baldos.
