otiuti-Marianx was rlgbt. It was a
woman he saw with me in the chapel
Ilst night."
The seiisation created by this al1mple
statement was staggering. The ilushed
acje was unmistakably that of a young
girl. i tnter, modest thing that shrank
before the eyes of a grimi audience.
Womanly instinct impelled Yetive to
shield the timld masquerader. Her
stramnge ass;oclaton1 with Unblo. was
not of enough consequence iII the eyes
of this tender ruler to check the li
pulse of gentleness that swept over
'ier. Th;t the girl was guiltless of any
,Trongdoing was plain to be secen. Her
eyes, her face, her trembling flgure fur
ilshed proof conclusive. The dark
!->os of the men wre sme(ned wheni
the arm of the princess went about the
stranger and drew her close.
"1ah! Some wanton or other!" sneer
ed Marlanx. "But a pretty one, by the
gods. BaIdos has always shown his
good taste."
Baldos glared at him like a tiger re
straltiod.
"Before God, you will have those
words to unsay," hit hissed.
Yetive felt the slight body of the girl
quiver and then grow tense.
The eyes of Baldos now were fixed
on the white. drawn face of Beverly
Calhoun, who stood quite alone at the
top of tho steps. She begai to sway
dizzily, and he saw that she was about
to fall. Springing away from the
guards, he dashed up the steps to her
sid". is al-n caught her as she sway
ed, and Its touch restored strength to
her-the strength of resentment and
defilnce.
")on't!" she whispered hoarsely.
"Have courage," he murmured softly.
"It will all be well. There is no dan
ger."
"So this Is the woman!" she cried
bitterly.
"Yes. You alone are dearer to me
than Ohe," he uttered hurriedly.
"I can't believe a word you say."
"You will, Beverly. I love you. That
is why I came limek. I could not leaove
you to meet it alone. Was I not right?
Let them put me Into irons -let thezr,
kill me"
"Cone!" cried Colonal Qtliti6a, 'each
In:- his side at thi instant. "The girl
will be cared for. You are n prisonet',"
"Walt!" Implored Beverly, light siud
denly breaking in upon her. "Please
wait, Colonel Quinnox." lie hesltate,
his broad shoulders between her and
the gaping crowd below. She saw
with grateful heart that Yetive and
.orry ,were holding the steps as if
against a warlike foe. "Is she-Is she
your wife?"
"Good heavens, no!" gasp-4d Baldoq.
"Your sweetheart?" piteously.
"Sie is the :istetr of the man I serve
so Iorly," he whisp'red. Qulunox al

Rtavone, still in his ragged uniform,
haggard. but en-ger, was standing like
a gaunt specter' in the sunlight that
tloOded1 the terrace. The vagabond,
with the eyes of afl upon him, raised
and lowered his arms thrice, and the
face of Baldos became radiant.
"Your highness," [he cried to Yetive,
wvaving his hand toward the stranger,

Beverly, who knew the vagabond bet

A Little Card Trick.
A Russian priest was so devoted to
the amusement of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be
Core commencing the church services.
On one occasion, having a particularly
good hand dealt him, he thrust the
cards into his pocket, intending to re
turn and finIsh the game after the
service. Unluckily the cards fell out
on the church floor, to the extreme
scandal of the congregation. The wit
ty priest. however, was fully equal to
the occasion. At the conclusion of the
service he bekoned up one of the
choristers and asked himi the names or
several of the cards, which the boy
knew correctly. He then suddenly
asked the lad the name of the next
saint's day, which the child could not
tell.
"See!" cried the priest. turning to,
the congregation. "You teach your
children the names of every card in
ie pack and leave them ignorant of
their religion. Let this be the last
tIme I am compelled to bring playing
,. ards 'nto the church to shame you."
And II|king up his hand he wade sn
