never been Ill. Are you quite recov

"They say I am as good as new," he
smilingly answered. "A trifle weak
and uncertain in my lower extremities,
but a few days of exercise In the moun
tains will overcome all that. Is all well
with you and Graustark? They will
give me no news here, by whose order
I do not know."
"Turn about Is fair play, sir. It Is a
well established fact that you will give
them no news. Yes, all is well with
Ee and mine. Were you beginning to
think that I had deserted you? It has
been two weeks, hasn't it?"
"Ah, your highness, I realize that you
have had much more important things
to do than to think of poor Blaldos. I
am exceedingly grateful for this sign
of interest in my welfare. Your visit is
the brightest experience of mg life."
"Be seated!" she cried suddenly.
"'You ar t(oo ill to stand.''
"Were I dying I should refuse to be
seated while your highness stands,"
said he silply. His shoulders seemed
10 square themselves involuntarily, and
his left hand twitched as though ac
Customiled to tile habit of touching a
sword hilt. Beverly sat down instant
Jy. With his usual easy grace he took
a chair nitiear y-. They were alone In
the ail lechaniher.
"Even though you were on your last
legs?" she mlilmliured, and then wonder
ed how she coulhi have uttered any
thing so Inane. Sonehow she was he
ginniig to fear that lie was not the or
dinary person she had judged him to
be. "You are to be discharged from
the hospital tonorrow," she added
hastily.
"Tomorrow?" lie cried, his eyes light
Ing with joy. "I iimay go then?"
"I (leided to take you to Edel
Weiss wvit I me," she said. very imuch as
if that. wore ll there was to it. Ile
stared at her for a full minute its
though doubting his ears.
"No!" he sai at last, his jaws set
thing, his eyes glistening. It was a
terrible setback for Beverly's conil
dence. "Your highness forgets that I
have youir prlomis e of absolute iree
doi."
"But you are to be free," she protesi
ed. "You have nothing to fear. It is
not compiulsory, you know. You don't
have to go unless y6u really want to.
But my hiear't is set Oil havihig you in.

which lie was quick to see, for his
contrition was limedliate.
"Pardoi. yorli' highness. I all a
rude, ungrateful wretch, and I deserve
punishinenit instead of rewaird. The
p~roposal was so astounding that I for

soul to tihe task of overcoming his
prejudices, fears and objections, meet
ing Ils iirotestatlons firmly and logic
ally, unconscious of tlie fact that her
veiy enthuslasm was Ibetrayinug her to
him. 'The fiest signs of weakening in
spiredl her aifresh and at last she was
riding over him roughshod, a happy
vietor. Shle madec proises that Yetive
herself could not have made; she offer
ed Inducements athat never could be
carried out, although in her zeal she
did not know it to lie so; she painted
auch pictures of ease, comfort and
pleasure that lhe woindered why royal
ty did not exchange p~laces with its
serv'ants. In the end, overcome by the
spirit of adventure anud a desire to be
near her, lie agr'eed to enter' the service
for six months, at thle expiration of
which time lie w~as to be released from
nil obligations if lie so dlesiredl.
"But my1 friends In the 1pass, your

That night Franz appeared at the
Lhospital and was left alone with Bal
los for an hour or more. What passed
between them no outsider knew,
though there were tears .in the eyes of
both at the parting. But Franz did not
start for the pass that night, as they
lad expected. Strange news had come
to the ears of the faithful old follower.
and he hung about Ganlook until
morning came, eager to catch the ear
of his leader before it was too late.

Bladder troubles most always result fro n
a dorangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you .
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing It, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to -
go often during the day, and to get up many
timC3 during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold Z
