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

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

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

"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

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. Dr. McLaren says, "Sin in
ours; righteousness may be ours; judg
ment must be ours."
