4 D. eVIflhflIn I a "You don't wean It?" exclaimed Lor ry. "Then he way be any one of the three you have mentioned?" "Let ine tell you what the grand duke's secretary says. I have the of ficial notice, but left it in my desk. The runaway son of the grand duke Is called Christobal. Ile is twenty-seven years of age, speaks English iluently, besides Prench and our own language. It seems that he attended an English college with Prince Dantan and some of our own young men who are still in England. Six weeks ago he disappear ed from his father's home. At the same time a dozen wild and venturous retainers left the grand duehy. The party was seen in Vienna a week later, and the young duke boldly announced that lie was off to the east to help his friend Dantan in the fight for his throne. Goting on the theory that Bal dos I8 this same Christobal we have only to provide a reason for his pre ferring the wilds to the comforts of our cities. In the first place, he knows there Is a large reward for his appre hension and be fears our police. In the second plae, lie does not care to direct the attention of Prince Dantan's foes to himself. Ile missed Dantan In the hills and doubtless was lost for weeks, but the true reason for his flight is made plain in the story that was print ed recently in Paris and Berlin news papers. According to them. Christobal rebelled against his father's right to select a wife for him. The grand duke had chosen a noble and wealthy bride, Anld the son had selected a beautiful girl from the lower walks of life. Fa ther and son Iualrreled and neither would give an inch. Chrlstobal would not marry his father's choice, and the gran11d duke would not sanction his union with the fair plebelan." Here Beverly exclaimed proudly: "ll doesn't look like the sort of man who could be bullied Into marrying an1ylbody if lhe diin't want to." "And he strikes me as the sort who would marry any one he set his heart upon having," added the princess, with a taunting glance at Miss Calhoun. "Umph!" sniffed Beverly defiantly. The baron went on with his narrative, exhibiting signs of excitement. '"'o lend color to the matter, Christo hal'. sweetheart, the daughter of a game warden, was murdered the night before her lover fled. I know nothing of the circumstances attending the crime, but it Is my understanding that Christobal is not suspected. It Is pos sible that he Is Ignorant even now of the girl's fate." "Well, by the gods, we have a good ly lot of heroes about us!" exclaimed Lorry. "But, after all," ventured the Count ess Hlalfont, "Baldos may be none of these men." "Goodl heavens, Aunt Yvonne, don't suggest anything so distressing," said: Y'etive. "He must be 01ne of them." "I suggest a speedly way of deter mining the matter," said Anguish. "Let us send for Baldos and ask him point blank who he is. I think it is up to him to clear away the mystery." "No!" cried Beverly, starting to her feet. "It seemls to be the only way," said Lorry. "But I promised him that no ques tions shoulid he asked," said Beverly, almiost tearfully, but quite resolutely. "Didn't I, Yet--your h ighlness?" '"Alas, yes!" said the princess, with a pathetic smIle of resignation, but with loyalty in the elasp of her hand. ('IIAIl'TF. XIV. rn HAT same afternoon Baldos, blissfully Ignorant of the stir he had ereatedl in certain cir eleR, rode out 'for the first time a a mlembler of the castle guard, He And Hiaddan wvere detaIled by Colonel Quinnox ,to act as private escort to' Miss Calhoun until otherwise ordered. If Hladdani thought himself wiser than Baidos in knowing that their charge was not the p~rlncess lie was very much snistaken.

The twvo guards rode bravely behind the equl p~age, resp~lenldent in brilliant new u formis. Baldos was mildly surprised and puzzled by the homage paid the young Anuerican girl, It struck him as ~proposterous that tihe entIre popuhition of Edeiweiss could be in the game to deceIve him.

' The Countess Dagmar found it diffl cult at first to meet the eye of the new guard, but he was so punctillously oblivious that her courage 'was'restored. She even went so far as to whispler in Beverly's ear that he did not renieinber her face and probably would not ree ognize Yetive as one of the eavesdrop pers. The pri'ncess had flatly retused to accomipalny thei -ou the visit to the fortress because of Baldos. Struck by a sudden impulse. Beverly callediBail dos to the side of the vehicle. "Baldos, you behaved very nicely yes terday In exposing the duplicity of those young women," she said. - [TO BE CONTINUED.) Hunting the Maribou.

Here is an extract from a letter of Thomas Carlyle, in which lie asks his sister to make him sonie shirts and sends the measurements. How many women could make a shirt after them? "My Dear Jenny-* * * In the mean while I want you to make me some flannel things. too-three flannel shirts especially. You canl get the flannel from Allek~ if he has any that he can well recommend. You can readily have them made before the other shirts go off. I have taken the measure today and now send you the dimensions, to gether with a measuring strap which I bought some weeks ago (at-one penny) for the purpose! -You are to be care ful to scour the flannel first, after which process the dimensrons are these: Width (when the shirt is laid on its back), 22%/ Inches; extent from wrist button to wvrist button, 01 inches; length In the back, 35 inches; lenigth in the front, 25%I/ Inches.
