BEVERLY OF GRAVGTA RK By GEORGE BARR M*CUTCHEON, Autber of "Grawveark" Copsridt, I*, by Dodd.MAead and Compas he smiled as he said it. The real prin cess looked at him with a new, eager expression, as if spnething had just become clear to her. There was a chorus of coughs and a round or sly looks. "She could hardly ask you to die," said. Yetive, addressing 'him for the Arst time. "A princess is like April weather, madam," sau Baldon, with rare hu. mor, and the laugh was general.- Ye tive resolved to talk privately with this excelleot wit before the hour was over. She was confident that he knew her to be the princess. "I would like to ask the fellow an other questi6n," said Marlanx, finger Ing his sword hilt nervously. "You say you serve the princss. Do you mean by that that you imagine your duties as a soldier to comprise dancing polite attendance within the security of these walla?' "I believe'I enlisted as a member of the castle guard, sir. The duty of tie guard Is to protect the. person of the ruler of Graustark and to do that to the death." "It Is my belief that you are a spy. You can show evidence of good faith by enlisting to.4ight:.agalust Dawsber gen land .by.- shooting to kill," said the count, with a sinister gleam In his 4y. I "And if I decline to serve in any other capacity than the one I now" "Then I shall brand you as a spy and a coward." "You have already called me a spy. your excellency. It will not make it true, let me add, if you call me a cow ard. I refuse to take up arms against either Dawsbergen or Axphain." The remark created a profound sen sation. "Then you are employed by both in stead-of onel" shouted the Iron Count gleefully. "I am employed as a guard for her royal highness,"- said Baldos, with a square glance at Yetive, "and not as a fighter in the ranks. I will fight till death for her, but not for Graustark." CHAPTER XVI. ** Y Jove, :1 'like that fellow's coolness," said Lorry to Har ry Anguish, after the meet ing. "He's after my own heart. Why, he treats us as though we were the suppliants, be the almsgiver. He is playing a game, I'll admit, but he does it with an assurance that de lights me." "Ie Is right about that darned old fort," said -Anguish. *H'ils' knowledge of such thlngqs proves ponclusively that lie ia no ordniry pet'son." "Yetive had a bit of a talk with him just now," said Lorry, with a reflec tive smile. "She asked him point blank it he knew who she was, lie did not hesitate a second. 'I remember..seelng you ir the audience fbamber recently.' That was a facer fol' Yetive- '.I assure yozF'that it was nel fatilt of. mine -that you saw me,' she replied. 'Then It must have been ,Your. Cg ndf Wyho, ryzstled the curtains?' said'.*th confoundddcI'bluU~dr Yetlve couldn't keep a straight face. She Laughed, and then he laughed, 'Somne day you may learn more about me,' she said to him. 'I sincerely trust that I may, madam,' said( he, and i.11 bet my hat lhe was' enjoying It beitter than elther- of us. Of course he knows Yeth'-e Is, the princess. It's his inten tion to serve Beverly Calhoun, and he couldn't do it If he were te confess that he knows the truth, lHe's ho fool." Blaldos was .not long in preparing plans for the changes in the fortress. They embodied, a temporary readjust ment of the armament and alterations in the amnmunition house, The gate leading bo the river wvas closed, and the refuse from the fort was taken to the barges by way of the main esn trance. There were other changes sug gested for unmedi~te -.consideration, and then there was a generali plani for the modernizing of the for'tress at some, more convenient time, Uidos lacon ically observed that the equipmnent, was years behind the times. To the amazement of the ,ofliclals, he wvas able to talk intelligently of forts in all parts of the world1, revealing a widle and thorough knowledge and ex tensive Inspection. He had seen Amer Ican as well as European fortiflcatIons. The Graustark engineers went to work at once to perfect the sImple changes he advised, leaving no stone uniturned to strengthen the plIace before an at *k could he made. T'wo, three weeks went- by, and the ,;ww guard wds becoming an old story h> 'he castle and army folk. Hie rode 'idi Beverly every fair day, and he looked at her window by night from afar off In the somber barracks. She could not dissipate the feeling that he knew her to be other than the princess, although he betrayed himself by no Wordr.(Lj.gan. -Sho w a nsi.- thm fun of it t;o inteisely"to "pose it to the risk of destruction by revealing her true identity to him. Logically that would mean the end of. overything. No doubt he felt the same and kept his counsel, but the game could not last forever, that was certain. A month or two more and Beverly would have to think of. her return to Wash ington. His courage, his cool Impudence. his subtle wit, charmed her more than she could exprersi 'Ri ~ihe ~~was 'begi ning to study him from a standpoint pecullarly and selfishly her own. Where recently she had sung his praise to Ye tive and others she now was strangely reticent. She was to understand an other day why this change had come over tier. Stories of his cleverness came to her ears from Lorry and An guish and even from Dangloss. She was p'roud, fastly proud, of him' in these days. The Iron Count alone discredited the ability and the conscientiousness of the "ilounfebank," as he named 'the man who had put his nose out of joint. Beverly, seeing much of Marlanx, made the mistake of chiding him frankly and gayly about this aversion. She even argued the guard's case be- P fore the head of the army, imprudently pointing out many of his superior qual ities in advocating his cause. The count was learning forbearance in his old age. He saw the wisdom of pro crastination. Baldos was in favor, but some day there would come a time for his undoing. In the barracks he was acquiring fame. Reports went forth with unblas ed freedom. He established himself as the best swordsman in the'service, 'as well as the most efficient marksman. With the foils and sabers he easily vanquished the foremost fencers in high -and low circles. He could ride like a Gossack or like an American cowboy. Of thetn all, his warmest ad mirer was Haddan. the man set to watch him for the secret service. Tt J. may be timely to state that Haddan watched in vain. The princess, humoring her own fan -__ cy, as well as Beverly's foibles, took to riding with her. high spirited young guest on many a little jaunt to the hills. She usually rode with Lorry or Anguish, cheerfully assuming the sub dued position befitting a lady-in-wait Ing apparenUy restored to favor on probation. She enjoyed Beverly's unique position. In order to maintain her attitude as princess the fair young deceiver was obliged to pose in the a extremely delectable attitude of being Lorry's wife. "flow can you expect the paragot) to make love t you, dear, If he thinks ,you are another man's wife?" Yetive asked. her blue eyes beaming with the fun of it all. "Pooli!" sulffed Beverly. "You have only to consult history to find' the ex euse., It's the dear old habit of men to :uake love to queens and get beheaded for it. Besides, he is not expected to 'inake love to me. How in- the world wild you'get that into +our head?" O -a day soon after the return of L~o%~ atid' Anguish from a trip- to the frontier Beverly expressed a desire to v'isit the ' mnondstery bf'- St. v'alenitine,1 high.-ozt the mountain' toji. It- was ,a long ride over the .cirkultous route..by which the steep) incline was avoided, andl It was necessary for the party to make .ah'eprly start. .Yetiv9' rode with Harry Auiguish. and his wife the count ess, whi)e Beyerly's companionu was the gallant Coion&b Quinnox.- Baldos, rele gated to the background, brought up) 'the rear .withu.Haddian. For a week .or more .Beveriy had' been behaving toward Baidos in the most. etvaller' fashion. . Her friends had been teasing ther, and, to tier own in tense amazement, she resenitedl it. The fact .that she felt the sting of their sly taunts was sufliclent to arouse in her the distressing conviction that he- had Qlc ome important enough to prove em barrassing. WVhile confessing' to hier self'-that it was a bit treacherous and weak she proceeded to ignor'e Baldos with astonishing persietency. Apart from the teasing, it seemed to her of ,late that he was growing a shade too -confid'ent. He occasionally forgot his deferential"" air and relaxed into a very pleasing but highly reprehensible state of friendli ness. A touch of the old .fauntiness crop ped out here and there. a tinge of the old Iz'ouy marred -his otherwise iperfect mien as a soldier. Is laugh was freer, his eye's less under suljulgation, his entire personality more arrogant. It was t 'time, thought she resentfully, that his temerity should meet somec sort of check. And, moreover, shte had dreamed of 'him two nights in successIon. Hlow welt her plani succeeded may Es best be illustrated by saying that she now wasi in a most umncomfortable frame of mind. Baldos eefused to be Properly dlepressed by his misfortune. He retired to thme oblivioni she p~rovid(ed C and seemed dIlsagreeablly content. Ap parently it made v'ery little dIifference SO to hizm whether he was in or, out of fat v'or. Bever'ly was in high duidgeon and low spirits. aCC The party rode fortli at an early hour in tihe mnorning. It was hot in the city, but it looked cold aind bleak on the hegilmts, Comfortable..wraps wer tak [To EU commNTInU.1 &Fis e Never Say EPEATED sales mr !monials any medi This is how we know COMPOUND -OF WHITE PINE is one of the very beat market for all coughs a Try one bottle and I BOLT U P-TO-DATE I ickens, : ORCANIZEC eASIet, W.
