Meadand Company ple." "Have you studied engineering?" "Yes." "And you could scientifically enumer ate the defects -in the construction of the fort?" "It would not be very difficult, sir." "It has come to our ears that you consider the fortress weak in several particulars. Have you so stated at any time?" "I told the princess that-the fortress Is deplorably weak. In fact. I think I mentioned that it could be tiken with ease." He was not looking .at Count Mariatfx, but 'he kiiew 'thft the old man's eyes were flaming. Then he proceeded to tell the board how he could overcome the fortress, elaborat lg on his remarks to Beverly. The ministers listened in wonder to the words of this calm, indifferent young man. "Will you oblige us by making a rough draft of the fort's interior?" ask ed Lorry after a solemn pause. Bal dos took the paper and In remarkably quick time drew the exact lay of the fortress. The sketch went the rounds and apprehensive looks were exchang ed by the ministers. "It Is accurate, by Jove," exclaimed Lorry.. "I doubt it a dweller In the fort could 'do'better. You must have been very observing." "And very much interested," snarled Marianx.. . "Only -so far as 1 Imagined my ob- ] servatious might be of benefit to some one else," said Baldos coolly. Again silence was like death. "Do you know what you are say ing, Baldos?" asked Lorry after a mo ment. "Certainly. Mr. Lorry. It Is the duty of any servant of her higkness to give her all that he has in him. If my ob servations can be of help to her I feel in duty bound to make the best of them for her sake, not for my own." "Perhaps you can suggest modifica tons in the fort," snarled Marlanx. "Why 'don't you do it. sir, and let us have the benefit of your superior Intel ligence? No, gentlemen, all this prat Ing of loyalty need not deceive us," he cried, springing to his feet. "The fel low Is nothiug more nor less than anl infernal spy, and the Tower Is the place for him! He can do no harm there." "If It were my intention to do harm, gentlemen, do you imagine that I should withhold my information for days?" asked Baldos. "If I am a spy you msay rest assured that Count Mar lanx's kindnesses should not have been so loirg disregarded. A spy does not believe in delays." "M.y-my kindnesses?" cried MaT lanx. "What do you mean, sir?" "I mean this, Count Marlanx," said Baldos, looking steadlly int the -eyges of 'tbe head of the army. -"It was .kind and considerate of you to admit ue -to the :fortress, no matter In what capaci ty.,<'especially at a critleal t~me lIke iths. You did not know me, you had no way of telling whether my intentions were honest or otherwise, and yet I was per mitted to go through the fort from end to -end. No spy could wish for greater generosity thlan that." An almost imiperceptible smile went around the table, and every listener but one breathed more freely. The candor and boldness of the guard won the respect and confidence of all except Mlarlanx. The Iron Count was white with anger. He took the examination out of Lorry's hands and pied the stranger with insulting questi4ns, each calm answer making him more furious ~ than before. At last, In sheer Impo tence, lie relapsed into slence, waving his handI to Lorry to indicate that he might resume. "You will understand, Baldos, that we have some cause for apprehension," said Lorry, immensely gratiied by the outcome of the tilt. "You are a stran ger, and, whether you admit it or not, there is reason to believe that you are not what you represent yourself to be," "I am a humble guard at present, sir, and a loyal one. My life is yours should I prove otherwise." Yetive whispered something in Lor ry's ear at this juncture. She was vis IIbly pleased and excited, Ie looked Idoubtful for %fn instant andl then ap Iparently followed her suggestion, re gardless of consequences. I"Would you be willing to utilize your knowledge as an engineer by suggest ing means to strengthen the fortr~ess?" The others stared. In fresh amazement. 'irx went as white as death. Im" he blurted out hoarsely. Ido anything the princess comn me to do," said Baldos easily. Ya nean that you serve her only ?" A~ sev her first, sir. If she were here she could command me to die, and there would be an end to Baldos."
