To look at the girl and meet guilt or
defiance In her eyes would be agony;
therefore.he would not look, though he
saw her, and her alone, as he stood
gazing with a strained fixedness at the
prince.
He knew that she had risen not in
frightened haste, but with a leisured
and dainty dignity. Now her face was
turned to him. He felt It as a blind
man may feel the rising of the sun.
He wished that she had died before
this moment; that they had both died
last night in the garden while he held
her In his arms and their hearts beat
together. She had told him then that
she loved him, yet she was here with
this man?here of her own free will,
the same girl he bad worshiped as a
goddess In the white moonlight twenty
four, hours ago.
The thought .was hot la his heart as I
the searing touch of iron red from the |
fire?the same girl!
His blood sang in his ears a song of
death, and for an instant all was black
around him. He groped in black chaos
where there was neither light nor
hope, and dully he was conscious of
the chancellor's voice saying, 'Tour
majesty, if you. are satisfied, would yon
not rather go?"
Then the dark spell broke. Light
showered over him as from a golden
fountain, for in spite of himself he had
met the girl's eyes?the same eyes, be
cause she was the same girl?sweet
eyes, pure and innocent and wistfully
appealing.
"My God!" he cried. 'Tell me why
you pre here, and whatever yon'may
say I will believe yon, in spite of all]
and through all, because you are you, j
and I know that you can do no wrong."
"Your majesty!" exclaimed the chan
cellor. But the emperor did not hear.
I With a broken exclamation that was |
half a sob the girl held out both her
hands, and Leopold sprang forward to
;\ crush them between his ice cold palms.
"Thank heaven!" she faltered. "You
are true! You've stood the test I love
you."
"At last, then, I can Introduce you
to my sister Virginia," said the crown
prince of Hungaria. with a great sigh
of relief for the ending of his difficult
part
l'CH&PTL?-TWENTrf
HEY were alone togeth
er. Adalbert and Count
von Breitstein had stol
en from the room and
had ceased to exist
so far as Leopold and
Virginia were concerned.
"I'll tell you now why I'm here and
everything else," she was saying, but
the emperor stopped her.
"Ever since I came to myself I want
ed no explanation." he said. "I want
ed only yon. That Is all I want now.
I am the happiest man In the universe.
Why should I ask bow I came by my
happiness? Virginia! Virginia! It's
more beautiful name even than
Helen."
"But listen," she pleaded. "There
are some things?just a few things?
that I long to tell you. Please let me.
Last night I wished to go Into a con
vent Oh, It was because I loved you
so much! I wanted you to seem per
fect as my hero of romance, just as
you were already perfect as an em
peror. To think that I should have
been far away out of Rhaetla by this
time If Miss Portman hadn't been ill!
Dear Miss Portman! Maybe If we'd
gone ^nothing would ever have come
right. Who can say?
"You know, my brother came to our
hotel this afternoon. When his card
arrived we couldn't tell whether he
knew our secret or not, but wbeu we
had let him come up we had only to
see his face of surprise. He was an
gry, too, as well as surprised, for he
blnrted out that there were all sorts of
horrid suspicions against us, and moth
er explained everything to him before
I could have stopped her even if I
would?how I had not wanted to ac
cept you unless you could learu to love
me for myself aud then how I had
been disappointed. No, don't speak;
that's all over now. You've more than
atoned, a thousand times more.
"Dal explained things, too. then?very
different things?about a plan of the
chancellor's to disgust you with me
and bow he (Dal) had played Into the
I chancel i?>r?s bauds because you see.
he thought be was acliug wisely for
bis neglected sister's sake and because |
he had really supposed an actress he
knows was masquerading as Miss
Mowbray. Very imprudently he'd told
her that some day there might be
something between you and his sister.
She knew quite well, too, that the real
Mow brays were our cousins; so, you
see, as she and he have quarreled, It
might have been an easy and clever
way for an unscrupulous woman to
take revenge. Dal would have gone
and perhaps have said dreadful things
to the chancellor, who was waiting
downstairs for news, but I begged him
not From being the saddest girl in
the world I'd suddenly become the
happiest, for the chancellor had told
Dal and Dal had told me that you had
followed Helen Mowbray to ask her to
be the empress. That changed every
thing, for then I knew you really loved
her, but Just to punish you for what I
suffered through you last night I long
ed to put you to one more test. I said:
'Let the chancellor carry out his plot.
Let me go with you to your hunting
lodge.' At first Dal wouldn't consent,
but when I begged him he did, for
generally I can get my way with peo
ple, I warn you.
"That's all, except that I hadn't real
ized how severe the test would be un
til you came in and I saw the look in
your eyes. It was a dagger of Ice iu
my heart. I prayed heaven to make
you believe In me without a word. Oh,
how I prayed through all that dread
ful moment and how I looked at you,
saying with my eyes, 1 love you; I am
true!' If you hod failed me then it
would h^-e killed me, bui"?
"There '?ould be no but," the em
peror br..ke In. 'To doubt is not to
love. .V'^en a man loves he knows.
Even ? of darkness a light .omes
and tel.. him."
"Then you forgive me?for tonight,
and for everything, from the begin
nfug?'
? Forgive you?"
"And If I'd been different, more like
other girls, content with a conventional
affection, you wouldn't have loved me
more?"

Indian Babies Don't Cry.
"Affection for children is an In
dian character," sayt, Dr. Charles S.
Moody of Idaho. ' *'I 'have neve.
seen an Indian mother or father pun
ish a child, nor have 1 ever seen an
Indian child cry. An Indian child
never sobs when hurt. Just an extra
snap of the bright black eyes and a
slight frown is all to indicate to the
observer that the little fellow is
suffering. I have never heard even
an Indian baby cry."
Workman's Foe.
Alcohol Is the foe of the working
man, inasmuch as it lessens his pro

ficiency as a workman. It renders
him careless and indifferent as to

sults in the children drifting into
the workshop and factory at a time
of life when they oi ght to be gaining
