ihBeverly guard," decided M iss Calhoun. "Beverly, dear, that man is no ordi nary person," sold the princess quite positively. "Of course he isn't. He's a tall, dark mystery." "I observed him its lie crossed the ter race this morning," said Lorry. "lie's a striklhg sort of chap, aid I'll bet my head he's not what he clims to be." "le claims to be a fugitive, you must remember," said Beverly in his de fense. "I meian that he is no common male factor, or whatever it may be. Who and whal do you suppose lie is? I con fess that I'm intersted in the fellow, and he looks as though one might like him without half trying. Why haven't you dug up his past history, Beverly? You aire so keen about him." "Ile positively refuses to let me dig," explained Beverly. "I tried, you know, lut lie-he-well, he squelched me." "Well, after all is said and done, he caught us peeping today, and I am filled with shame," said the princess. "It doesn't matter who he is, lie must certainly have a most unflattering opin Jon as to what we are." "And he is sure to know us sooner or later," said the young countess, mo mentarily serious. "Oh, if it ever comes to that I shall be IIi a splendid position to explain it all to hIm," said Beverly. "Don't you see, I'll have to do a lot of explaining myself?" "Baronl Daingloss!" annc incnd the guIrd of the upper hall, throwing open the door for the doughty little chief of police. "Your highneu'.ss sent for ne?" asked he, advan'ig after the formal saluta tion. The princess exhibited genuine a mazsemenIt. "I did, lharon Dangloss, but you must have cone with the wings of an eagle'. It is really not more than three m1iutes since I gave the order to Colo nel Quiox." The baron smiled mys teriously, but volunteered no solution. The truth is, he was entering the cas tle doors as the messenger left them, but he was much too fond of effect to Spoll a good situation by explanations. It was a long two miles to his office in the Tow%'er. "Something has just hap pened that lilmpels me to ask a few (luestions concerning v1aldos, the new guard." "May I first ask what has happen ed?" 1)an1gloss was at a loss for the mecaning of the general smnile that went around. "It is quite personal and of no con sequence, What (10 you know of him? My curiosity is aroused, Now, be quiet, Beverly. You are as eager to know as the rest of us." "Well, your highness, I may as well confess that thme muan is a puzzle to me. 17 WhtaeyuS ig od ihu?

It t seems impossible that le could have t reached our northern boundaries with out our outposts catching a glimpse of him at some time. The trouble Is that his face is unknown to most of us, I among the others. I have been going ' on the presumption that Baldos Is In E reality Prince Dantan, but last night a the belief received a severe shock." t "Yes?" came from several eager lips. "My men who are watching the Dawsbergen frontier came in lIst night and reported that Dantan had been seen by mountaineers no later t than Sunday, three days ago. These t mountaineers were in sympathy with him and refused to tell whither lie S went. We only know that he was in the southern part of Graustark three days ago. Our new guard speaks many languages, but he has never been heard 1 to use that of Dawsbergen. That fact t in itself is not surprising, for, of all things, he would avoid his mother tongue. Dantan is part English by birth and wholly so by cultivation. In that he evidently fiNds a mate in th!s Baldos." e "Then he really isn't Prince Dan- ' tan?" cried Beverly, as though a cher Ished1 ideal had been shattered. "Not if we are to believe the tales from the south. Here is another com plicatlon. however. There is, as you know, Count Hlalfont, and perhaps all I of you, for that matter, a pretender to the throne of Axphain. the fugitive 0 Prinec Frederle. He Is described as young. good looking, a scholar and the next thing to a pauper." "Balos a mere pretender!" cried Beverly in distress. "Never!" "At any rate, he is not what he pre tends to be," said the baron, with a wise smile. "Then you think he may be Prince Frederic?" asked Lorry, deeply Inter ested. "I an' inclined to think so, although another complication has arisen. May it please your highness, I am in , an amazingly tangled state of miud,." ad- 1 mitted the baron, passing his hand 0 over his brow. "Do you mean that another nyateri- f( ous prince has cone to llfe?" asked Yetive, her eyes sparkling with interest in the revelations. "Eary this morning a dispatch came to me from the, Grand Duke Michael of Rapp-Thorberg,. a duchy in westeru. Europe, informing me that the duke's eldest son had fled from home ami1 Is known to have come to the far eazst. possibly to Graustark." "Great Scott!" exclaimed Anguish.. ~ "It never rains burt it hails, so here's hail to the princes three." ri "We are the Mecca for runaway roy- S alty, it seems," said- Count Hlalfont. t' "Go on with the story, Baron Dan- a gloss," cried the princess. "It is iikte' aG boo0k."A "A description of the young man ar' compIanies the otfer of a large reward for information that may lead to ihis return home for reconciliation, and" bere the baron paused dramatically. "And what?" interjected Beverly.. who could not wait. 1 "The description fits our fr'iend Bai dos perfectly!"' [Tro am commeuan.)
