THE PRINCESS.VIRGINIA. (Continued from page Two.) his return in the salon of the royai suit which was always, kept at his disposal when he appeared in the neighborhood, as he often did since purchasing the hunting lodge a. few miles out of Kronburg in the forest Other foreign royalties or lesser princes from the provinces occasional ly occupied the apartments also,, and tils handsome royal highness of today was not the only one whom the chan cellor of Rhaetia had visited there. He knew by heart the rich purple hang ings in the salon, with the double . wolf head of Rhaetia stamped in* gold at regular intervals on the velvet and he sickened of their splendor now as the moments dragged and he remained alone. When half an hour Lad passed he could no longer sit still ou the purple velvet sofa, but began walking up and down, his bands behind him. scowling at the foil length oil painted portraits of Rhaetia's dead rulers, glaring a qnestion into his own eyes hi the long, gold framed mirrors?a question he would have given his life to hear an swered in the way he wished. Three-quarters of an hour had gone at last and still the chancellor paced the purple drawing room. ajsd still the prince did not come back to tell the news. Had the yonng man . failed? Had that siren upstairs beguiled him, as she had beguiled one stronger and greater than he? Was it possible that she had lured the whole secret of their scheme from the prince and then induced blm to leave the hotel while her arch ene my fumed in the salon, awaiting his return? But no; there were?quick footsteps outside tiie door. The handle was turned. At least his royal highness was not a traitor. - / As the chancellor had confessed, be wcs growing old. He felt suddenly very weak. His lips fell apart, trem bling, yet he would not utter the words that hung upon them. Fortunately the prince read the ap peal in the glittering eyes and did not wait to be questioned. "Well, I've seen the lady and had a talk with her," he. said in a voice which was, the old man felt somehow different in tone from what it had been an hour ago. "And is she the person you have known?' "Yea, she's a person I have fcuown. It's?ifs all righ't about that plan of yours, chancellor. She's going with me to the lodge." "Heaven be praised! It seems al most too good to be true. When doer she go?' "At once?that is. as soon as she can get ready. She will dine with me, and my equerry will stop behind and eat the dinner I had ordered here." "Magnificent! Then she will go with yon alone? Nothing could be better The presence of the alleged mother as chaperon would be a drawback." "Ob. no chaperon is needed for us two. The?er?mother remains at the lotel with a la?a companion they have, who is 111. It was?er-^somewhat difficult to arrange this matter, but I don't think the plot I have in mind now will fail, provided you carry through your part as smartly as I have carried mine." "You may depend upon me. Your royal highness is marvelous. Am I to understand that the lady goes with you quite of her own free will?" "Quite. I flatter myself that she's rather pleased with the invitation. In a few minutes I and the fair damsel will be spinning away for a drive .in my red motor ? you know, the one which I always leave at the. lodge, to be ready for use whenever I Choose to pay a flying visit I shall keep her oui: until it's dark to give you plenty of time, but before starting I'll telephone to my chef that after all, I shan't be away and he must prepare dinner for two." "I also will send a telephone mes sage." said the chancellor. "To Leopold?" "Yes. your royal highness. This time^ there will be no uncertainty In my words to him. They will strike home, and even if he should not be intend ing to come to Krouburg tonight they will bring him." "You are sure you know where to catch the emperor?" "He'll telephone me from Felgardo when he has found those he sought are not there, as he will, and I must be at my bouse to receive and answer his message. It will soon be time now." "Very well; all that seems to arrange itself satisfactorily," said the prince. "Our motor drive can be stretched out for an hour and a half. The lady will then need to dress. Dinner can be kept back till half past 8, if it would suit your book to break in upon us at the table, My dining room isn't very grand, but it has plenty of light and color and wouldn't make a bad back ground for the last act of this little drama. What do you say, chancellor? I've always thought that your success as a stage manager of the theater of nations was partially due to your eye for dramatic effects." "Such effects are not to be despised, considering the audience we cater for In that theater." "Well, I promise you that for our little amateur play tonight in my pri vate theater the footlights shall be lit the stage set and two of the principal puppets dressed and painted for the show before 9. I suppose you can in troduce the leading man by that tinje or a little later?" The bristling brows drew together Involuntarily. Count von Breistein was working without scruple against the emperor for the emperor's good, yet he winced at his accomplice's light jest, and It was by an effort that ho kept a note of disapproval out of his .voice. "Unless I much mistake, bis majesty will order a special train as soon as he has hud my message." said he. ' That and everything else falling as I con fidently expect, I shall be able to bring iim out to your royal highness' hunt ing lodge a little after 9." "You'll find us at the third course," prophesied the prince. "Naturally the emperor's appearance will startle your visitor," went on the chancellor, keenly watching the young man's extraordinarily handsome face. ''She would not dare take the risk and drive out with you, great as the temp tation would no doubt be. did she No Use to Die.

Indeed, your roy al highness must have found subtle weapons ready to your baud that you so soon broke through the armor of her prudence. I expected much from your magnetism and resourceful wit, yet I hardly dared hope for such j speedy, such unqualified success as this which now seems assured to us." "My weapons were sharpened on my j past acquaintance with the pretty I lady." explained the prince; "otherwise j the result might have been postponed ! for as many days as I have delayed moments, though at last the end might have been the same." "Not for Rhaetia. Every Instant counts. Thanks to you, we shall win, for, actress as this girl is, she'll find it a task beyond her powei-s to justify to a jealous man this evening's tete-a tete with you." "If she tests those powers in our presence, we can be audience and ad mire her histrionic talents," said the prince pleasantly, though with some faint, growing sign of constraint or perhaps Impatience. "There's no doubt in my mind, whatever may be the lady's conception of her part, about the final tableau. And, after all, it's with that alone you concern yourself, eh, chancellor?" "It's that aione," echoed the old man. "Then you would like to go and await the message. There's nothiug more for us to arrange. Au revoir, chancellor, till 9." "Till 9." "When the curtain for the last act will ring up." The prince held out <pis band. Count von Breitstein grasped it aud then hur ried to his electric carriage, which had been waiting outside the hotel. A few minutes later he was talking e ver tho wire to the emperor in the railway sta tion at Felglide. (To Be Continued.) Lesson VI.?Second Quarter, For May 10. 1908. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lecson, John xvi, 4-15. Memory Verse, 13?Golden Text, John xiv, 16?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 100S, by American Pr^ss Association ] While a definite portion of this great discourse Is assigned as our lesson for the day, it Is evidently intended that we should take specially the portions ?f the whole discourse w^iich refer to the Holy Spirit, who is four times called the Comforter, or Paraklete. one ever ready to heed every call for help and to be to the redeemed all that Jesus was to His disciples (xiv. 10. 26; xv, 2G; xvi. 7). The same uame is given to the Lord Jesus Himself In 1 John Ii, 1. where He Is called our Ad vocate. So we have an abiding Com forter, Helper. Friend, at the Father's right hand and another in us always. From xiv. 17, 23. we learn that the Fa ther, Sou and Holy Spirit are willing to make their home in us and live in us the heavenly life which It is so impos sible for us to live ourselves. They de I sire to possess us fully. The spirit ! which He made to dwell in us yearn eth for us even unto jealous envy -{Jas. Iv, 5, It. V. M.) What He would do in us and for us and through us. to the glory of God, perhaps no one has yet fully learned. He Is the Spirit of truth, and everything that has the least taint of deceit, not merely outwardly, but In the Inward parts, grieves' and hinders Him. He is the Holy Spirit, and everything that Is unholy in thought, word or deed is a hindrance to His filling us as He would like to and using us as He might. He is the Great Teacher, guiding us Into all truth, testifying of Christ and show ing us things to come. When He fills us we will never be occupied with our selves, but with Him whom He de lights to honor. He is also our Re membrancer, bringing to our minds, as -?we-need It, all that we-have ever read or heard of the sufferings and the glory of the Lord Jesus. The world 6eetb Him not, neither knowetb Him, but tbey ought to see Him in us. Israel vexed His Holy Spirit, and It is possible for us to resist or grieve or quench Him (Isa. lxlil, 10; Acts vii, 51; Eph. iv, 30; I Thess. v. 19). The one only thing to do is to so behold the Lamb of God that His love shall con strain us to be all that He wants us to be. and then, opening our hearts wide to the Holy Spirit. Sie will purify us ? and work in us ail the will of God. Then shall we learn tHjKjneanlng of j abiding and of bearing the fruit for which He has chosen and ordained us. Then shall we know the meaning of be ing hated by the world as He was and persecuted (chapter xv). He told the disciples that they would betmut out of the synagogue and even killed by those who knew^ not the Father nor Him, but that tbey must not be of fended. The seemingly strange thing is that those who would so ill treat them were most religious people and professed frleuds of God. When He sent a word to John the Baptist about not being offended, it was evidently because John was offended by what seemed like neglect or indifference on the part of Jesus. The words of Mar tha and Mary also sound as If they were offended at Him because He had not come to them. What Is much the spirit of complaint among Christians generally because He does not do as tbey think He might, but simply be ing offended at Him? Either self or Christ is on the throne of our hearts, and It is the enthrone ment of self that makes all the diffi culty. He had spoken of going away, but none of them asked Him whither He was going, because tbey were thinking more of themselves than of Him. Imagine yourself saying to some Intimate friends that you are going away for an indefinite period, but that it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to you, and they at once begin to say how lonely they will be and to wonder what they will ever do without you. Von see at once the prominence of self and their interest rather than yours. If you can also udd that you are going on their ] behalf and that it will be greatly for their gain to have you go, they may be quieted as possibly the disciples were (verse 7), because of the benefit to self. Some one has defined conse cration pb a persistent determination never to please yourself, but where do we see it? Is it In us by His grace? Note the threefold work of the Spirit' convincing of sin. of righteousness and of Judgment. The great sin, the sin of all sins, Is that of not believing on or receiving Jesus, for "he that believeth not Is condemned already" (111, IS). Conversion that does begin with a con viction of sin is not true conversion, and the awfulness of sin is but little apprehended. Until men see thero-: selves as sinners they will be going1 about to establish their own righteous ness and will not submit to God, but once truly convinced of sin and seeing no hope in their efforts they will turn to Him who has gone to the Father and who is the righteousness of God unto all and upon all who believe (Rom. ill, 19, 24; x, 4). This world has a ruler who blinds people to the light of the glorious gospel, but he is al ready judged and only waits to be cast In due time into the lake of fire. All who will not receive Jesus Christ are already condemned and must go there with him unless they repent and turn to God.
