Tin- castle is comparatively modern, with pointed turrots and fretted mlnu rots, and, being built of while Cnrrnrn mnrblo, throws a reflection snowy as a submerged swan Info tho clear green water of tin* Mommolsoo. All (he sur roundings of the palace, from Its broad terraces to Iis jeweled fountains and well nigh tropical gardens, suggest luxury, gnyoty, pleasure. I in t on the opposlto hank of tho Mommelsoo Is huddled (ho dark shape of an ancient fortified stronghold, he gun no ono knows how many centuries ago by tho first Count von Broitsteitl. Generation following generation the men of tli;*^ family completed tho work until nowadays It Is dltllclut to know where the rock ends and tho castlo be gins. There, HUe a dragon squatting on the COlls of Its own tall, the dnrlc mass Is poised, Us deep set window eyes glaring across the bright water at the while splendor of I.yndalberg Jlko the malevolent stne of tho mou lder watting to spring v n and devour ?i fair young maiden. Tho moods of Baroness von T.yndal concerning grim old Scbloss Brcltsteln had varied many times during her years of residence by the lake. Some time:-! she pleased herself by reflecting that the great man who had slighted her lived In tess luxury than she had attained by her excellent marriage. Again, (he thought of (he ancient line age of the present fount von Brcltsteln filled her with envy, and oftener than all the reeling that the "old grizzly bear" could crouch in his den and watch Bucerlngly everything which happened at Lyndnlbcrg got upon the lady's nerves. She could have scream ed and shaken her list at the dark mass of rock and stone across tho water, but after the birthday ball ami during the flrsl days of Leopold's visit at her bouse she often threw a whimsical glance at tho grim silhouette against tin? northern sky and smiled. "Can you see, old bear?" she would ask gayly. "Aro you spying over there? Do you think yourself all wise and all powerful? l>o you see what's in my mind now, and do you guess partly why I've taken all this trouble? Are you racking your brain for some way of spoiling my little plans? But you can't do It. you know. It's too late. There's nothing you can do except sit still and growl and glare at your own c!aws, Which a woman has clipped. How do you like the outlook, old bear? Do you lie awake at night and study how to save your scheme for the em peror's marriage? All your grumpy old life you've despised women, but now you're beginning at last to lind out that, powerful as you are, there are some tilings a woman with tact and money, nice houses and a good natured husband can do which the highest statesman in the laud can't undo. How soon shall 1 make you admit that, Chnncollor Hear?" Thus the baroness, standing at her drawing room window, would amuse herself In odd moments when she was not arranging original and elaborate entertainments for her guests. And she congratulated herself particularly on having had the forethought to In vite F.gon von Brcltsteln, the chancel lor's half brother. There was a harrier of thirty-six years' difference in ngC between tho two, and they bad never been friends in tho true sense of tin; word, for the old man was tempera mentally unnblo to sympathize with the tastes or un derstand the temptations of the young er brother, and the younger man was mentally unable to appreciate the qual ities of the elder. Nevertheless It was rumored at court that Iron Heart had more than onco used the gay and good looking captain of cavalry for a catspaw In pulling some very big and hot chestnuts out of tho fire. At all events, "Unndsomo Egon" (so known among his followers), "tho chancellor's jackal" (thus nick named by his enemies), would have found difficult) in keeping up appear ances without the allowance, granted by his powerful half brother. The 111 assorted pair were often in communi cation, and (he baroness liked to think that news fresh from I.yndalberg must sooner or later be wafted like a wind blown scent of roses across tho water to Scbloss Breltstoln. She was still less displeased than sur prised, therefore, when, the emperor having beoil three days at I.yndalberg, with two more days of his visit to run, an urgent message arrived for Captain von BreitStoin from his brother. Poor old Lorenz was wrestling with bis enemy, gout, It appeared, and wish ed for Kgon's Immediate presence. Such n summons could not l>o neg lected. Bgou'S whole future depended upon his half brother's caprice, be hint ed to the baroness in asking lenvo to desert her pleasant party for a few hours. So of courso she sent tho chan cellor her regrets, with the baron's, nmt IOgon went off ehnnrod with a ?dly mcssago from &? omperor aa well. When the captain of cavalry had net out from Lyndalberg to Schloss Brclt steln by tho shortest way?across ths lake In a smart llttlo motor boat promising to be back In time for din ner and n concert, the baroness spent nil her energy In getting up an Im promptu riding party, which would give Leopold the chance of another teten-teto with Miss Mowbray. Already many such chances had been arrnngedt so cleverly as not to excite gossip, and If tho flirtation, destined by the hostess to disgust Leopold with his chancellor's matrimonial projects, did not advance by leups aud bounds It was certainly not the fault of Baron ess von Lyndal. "Egon has been told to use his eyes and ears for all they're worth at Lyn dalherg, and now he's called upon to hand In bis first report," Bhe satd to herself when tho younger Von Brelt steln was off on his mission across the hike. Hut for once, at least, the "chan cellor's Jackal" was wronged by un just suspicion. IIo arrived at Bchloss Hreltstcln Ignorant of his brother's mo tive in sending for him, though he shrewdly suspected It to be something (ptite different from the one alleged. The chancellor was In his study, a deep windowed tower room, with walls book lined nearly to the cross beamed celling. no sat reading n budget of letters when Egon was an nounced, and if ho were really ill he did not betray his suffering. Tho square face, with its beetling brows, eyes of somber fire and forehead im pressive as a cathedral dome, showed no new lines graven by pain. "Sit down, Egon," ho said abruptly, tearing in half on envelope stamped with tho head of Hungarla's klug. "I'll bo ready for you In a moment." Tho young iunn took tho least un comfortable chair in tho room, which from his point of vlow was to say llt tlo In its favor, because the newest piece of furnlturo there bad boon made a hundred years before tho world un derstood that lounging was not a crime. Over the high stone mantel hung a shield, ho brightly polished as to fulfill the olllcc of a mirror, and from where Egon sat, perforce upright and rigid, he could see himself vi gnetted In reflection. Ho admired ills fresh color, whic h was llko a girl's, pointed the waxed ends of his mustache with nervous cigarette stained fingers, and, thinking of many agreeable things, from bac carat to roulette, from roulette to races and races to pretty women, he wonder cd which he had to thank for this sum mons to the chancellor. Unfortunately Brother Lorenz knew everything. One's pleasant peccadillos bussed to his cars like files. Thero wns little hope of deceiving him. Egon sighed, and his eyes turned me chanically from his own visage on shining steel to the letter held In an old hand so veined that it reminded the young man of a rock netted vvlth tho sprawling roots of ancient trees. Ho had Just time to recognize the writing as that of Adalbert, crown prince of Hungnrla, whom he knew slightly, when keen eyes curtained with furled and wrinkled lids glanced up from tho letter. "It's coming." thought Egon. "What can the old chap have found out?" But, to his Murprl.se, tho chancellor's first words had no connection with him or his misdeeds. "So our emperor is amusing himself at Lyndalberg?" logon's face brightened. He could be cunning In emergencies, but bo was )i<>t clever, and always ho folt himself at a disadvantage with tho old states man. Unless he had a special favor to ; ask he generally preferred discussing the affairs of others with tho chancel lor rather than allowing attention to bo attracted to bis own. "Oh, yes," ho answered brightly. "His majesty is amusing himself uncommonly well. I never saw him In as brilliant spirits. Hut you, dear I<orenz?t?U me about yourself. Is your gout"? "The devil take my gout!" Egon started. "A good thing If he did, provided ho left you behind," he retorted, meaning exactly tho opposite, as he often did when trying to measure wits with the chancellor. "Hut yon sent for me"? "Don't tell mo you supposed I sent for you because I wanted consolotlon or condolence?" "Xoo," laughed Egon uneasily. "I fancied there was some other more pressing reason. Hut I'm hound In common courtesy to tako your sin cerity for granted until you undeceive ine." "Hang common courtesy between you nnd u?!" returned the bear. "I've nothing to conceal. I seat for you to tell nie what mischief that witch cat Mechtlldo von Lyndal is plotting. You're on tho spot. Trust you for seeing everything that goes on?the one thing I would trust you to do." "Thnnks," Bald Egon. "Don't thank me yet, however grate ful you may be. But I don't mind hinting that it won't be tho wor?e for you if for once you'vo used those fino eyes of yours to soms useful pur nose." Egon was genuinely astonished nt this tum of tho converHatlon, us he bad been carefully arming himself ngniust a personal uttack from nny one uf sev eral directions. Ho sat pointing the sharp onds of his mustoebo one after tho other and trying to remember somo striking incident with which to adorn a more or less accurate narra tive. "What would you call useful?" he Inquired nt last. Tho chancellor answered, but indi rectly. "Hub tho emperor been play ing the fool at Lyndalbcrg theso lost few days?" "Do you want to make mo guilty of lezo majesty?" Egon raised his eye brows, but ho wos recovering presence of mind. "If by playing tho fool, though, you mean falling In love, why, then, brother, I nhould say bo had done llttlo else during the three days, j and perhaps even the first of those was not the beginning." The chancellor gr?wled out a word which bo would hardly hove uttered In tho imperial presence, particularly in the connection be suggested. "Ix?t j mo hear exactly what has been going on from day's end to day's end," he commanded. Egon grew thoughtful once more. Clearly hero was tho explanation of tho summons. IIo was to bo lot off easily, it appeared. But, suspenso re lieved, be wos not ready to bo sotls ftod with negative blessings. "Are you B?ro it Isn't a bit like tell ing tales out of school?" ho objected. J "Schoolboys with empty pockets have been known to do that," sold tho I chancellor. "But perhaps your pockets aren't empty?eh?" "They'ro In a chronic state of empti ness," groaned Egon. "On tho 15th day of October your quarterly allownnco will be paid," re marked his brother. "I would increase tho installment by the amount of 5,000 gulden If that would make It worth your while to talk?and forget nothing but your scruples." "Oh, you know I'm always delighted to please you!" exclaimed Egon. "It's only natural, living tho monotonous life you do when you're not busy with the nffolrs of state, that you should llko to bear what goes on in the world outside. Of course I'll gladly do my best as a raconteur." "My dear young man, don't He," said . tho chancellor. "The habit is growing on you. You llo even to yourself. By and by you'll believe yourself, and then all hope for your soul will be over. What I want to know Is bow far the emperor has gone in his Infatuation for this English girl. I'm not afraid to speak plainly to you, so you may safe ly? and profitably?do the same with me. In the first place, I'll put you nt your case by making a humiliating confession. The other night the wom an Yon Lyndnl tried to 'draw me,' as I sho would express it, on this s'uhject, ! and I'm bitterly mortified to say she I partly succeeded. Sho suggested an i entanglement between Leopold and the girl. I replied that Leopold wasn't the man to pull down n hornets' nest of gossip around the ears of a young woman who bad saved bis life. No matter what his Inclinations might be, I insisted that he would pay her no repeated visits. "This thrust the fair Mecbtlldo par ried as if repeating a mere rumor by saying that she believed the girl was to stay at the country bouse of some old friend of tho emperor At the time I attached little importance to her chatter, believing that she merely wished to give me a spiteful slap or two, as is her habit when sho has the chance. For once, though, sho has succeeded In stealing a march upon me, and she kept the Beeret of her plan until too late for me to have any hope of preventing l/copold from fulfilling his engagement at her bouse. Aftei lhat was safely arranged I don't doubt sho wns overjoyed that I should guess her plot." "Do you think that even if you'd known sooner you could have Btoppcd the emperor from visiting at Lyndal bcrg?" asked Egon. "I know that you are iron, but he is steel." "I would have stopped him," return ed tho chancellor. "I should have made no bones about tho reason, for I've found that (he best way with Leopold is to blurt out the whole truth and fight him?my experience against bis will. If ndvlco and warn ing hadn't sufficed to restrain him from insulting the girl who Is to bo his wife and Injuring tho reputation of tho girl who never can l>c, I would have devised some expedient to thwart him for his own good. I'm not a man to glvo up when I feel that I am right." "Neither Is he," Egon added, "but Since you seem so determined to nip this dainty blossom of lovo in tho bud we'll hope It's not yet too lato for a sharp frost to blight it." "I sent for you," said tho chancellor, brushing away metaphor with an Im patient gesture, "to show mo the >ro ciKe spot on which to lay my finger." "I'll do my best to desorvo your con fidence," responded Egon gracefully. "I<et mo see?where shall I begin? Well, as you know, it's simpler for tho emperor to soo a good deal of tho wo man bo admires at a friend's bouse than almost anywhere elso in his own country. This particular woman risked her life to savo his, and it's so noturol for him to be gracious in return that people would be surprised if ho wero not. 'There's so much in their favor at the commencement. "Miss Mowhray and her mother ar rived at Lyndolborg before tho em peror, had innde friends there and wore ready for tho campaign. Tho girl Is undoubtedly beautiful?tho pret tiest creature, I think, I ever saw?and she a winning way which tnkoB with women as well ns men. Not one of her fellow guests seems to put a wrong contraction on tier flirtation with tho emperor or his with her. Tho other men would think him bfXrid if ho didn't admire hor as much ns they do, and none of tho women there are of tho sort to be Jealous. So, ore you Bure, Lorenz, that you're not taking too Borlous n view of tbejlffalr?" "It enn't bo taken too seriously, eon Bldorlng the circumstances. I've <o!?l you my plans for the emperor's fu ttire, Princesses are women, and gos sip Is hydra headed. W hen (ho lady hears?she who lias been allowed to understand that the emperor of Ul.no? tin oi..y waits for a suitable opportu nity of formally asking for hor hand - for she will surely hear, that he has sol-zed this very moment for his flrsl liaison, I toll you neither she nor her pooplo nro likely to accept tho state ment meekly. She's half Gorman?on hor father's side a cousin not too dis tant of William II. She's half Bug llsh?on her mother's side related to the king through tho line of the Stu arts. And In her there's a dash of Amort can blood which comes from a famous grandmother who was de scended from Gcorgo Washington, a man as proud and with the right to bo ns proud ns any king. All three countries would have reason to re sent such an nngallant slight from Uhactia." "Tho little affair must be hushed up." said EgOll. "It must ho stopped, and at once," said the chancellor. "Ach:" sighed the young man, with as much meaning In the long drawn breath as tho elder might care to read. And if It did not discourage it at least irritated hbn. "Go on!" Ik; exclaimed Sharply. "fJo on with your sorry talol" "After nil, when one comes to the telling, there isn't a very great deal one can put into cut and dried words." explained Egon. "At tnblo the emperor has his hostess on one side and his fair preserver on the other. The two talk ns much together during meals as eti quette allows and perhaps a little more. Then, ns the emperor has been often at I.yndalberg. he can act as cicerone for a Btrauger. lie lias shown Miss .Mowbray all tin; beauties of tho place, lie gathers her roses in (he rose garden; he has guided her through tho grottoes; be has piloted her through the labyrinth; he has told hor which are the best dogs in the kennels and has given her tho history of all the horses in the baron's stablos. I know this from the table talk, lie has ex plored the lake with Miss Mowbray and her motllQl' in a motor boat. Per haps you saw the party? And, whether or no he brought his automobile to I.yndalberg on purpose, In any ease he's had tho Mowbrnys out in It sev eral times already, one would hardly think he could have found a chance to do so much In such a short time, but our emperor is a man of action. Yes terday we had a picnic at Ihn Seebach fall to boo Thorwaldsen's Undine. Leo pold and Miss Mowbray, being splcudid climbers, reached the statu> on the height over the fall long before the rest of us. At starling, however, I was close behind with the baroness and overheard some joke between iho two about a mountain and a cow. Tho ei 1 peror spoke of mllklllg as a line ; and said he'd lately been taking les sons. They laughed n great deal at this, and It was plain that they were on terms of comradeship. When a young man and a girl have a set rol understanding, even t ho most Inno COUt one, it puts them apart from others. "Last night there were fireworks on the lake. The emperor and Miss Mow bray watched them together, for every thing was conducted most informally. Afterward wo had an Impromptu co tillon, with three or four pretty new figures Invented by the baroness. Tho emperor gave Miss Mow bray several favors, and one was a buckle of en ameled forgotmonots. This mo ul - there was tennis. The emperor and Miss Mowbray played together, ?hey were both so skillful it was a pleasure to watch them. At luncheon they ate a double almond out of one shell, had a game over it, and Leopold caught Miss Mowbray napping. Thai brings us to the moment of my coming lo you. For tho afternoon I fancy the baroness was getting Up n riding party, and ibis evening, unless they're too Hrcd, she'll perhaps got up hn runa tour concert nt which Miss Mowbray will sing. The girl has a delicious voice." "Tho creature must be a fool or an Adventuress," pronounced the chancel lor. "If she has kepi her senses she ought to know that nothing can come of this folly?except sorrow or scan dal." Egon shrugged his Stiffly padded mil Itary shoulders. "I have always found that a woman in love doosn't stop to count the cost." "So! You fancy her 'in love' wltll the emperor?" "With the man rather than the em peror, If I'm a judge of characler." "Which you're not!" Iron Heart brusquely disposed of that suggestion. "Tho merest schoolgirl could pull the wool over your eyes If she cared to take the trouble." "This one doesn't care a rap. She hardly knows that I exist." "Humph I" The chancellor's eyes appraised his young brother's features. "That's a pity. YOU might have tried cutting tho emperor out. ller affair with htm can have no happy ending, while you, In splto of all your faults, with your good looks, our position and my money, wouldn't bo a bad match for an ambitious girl." "Your money?" "I mean should I choose to make you my heir, nnd I would choose if you married to please me. Who are these Mowbrnys?" "I haven't had the curiosity to In rJUlt'ti Into their antecedents," said Egon. "I only know that they're la I dies, that they must bo of some COI1S0 queuCO In their own country or they I couldn't bnvo got tho letters of Intro Auction Ihoy liavo and that the girl Is Ibc prettiest on earth." "Meehtlldo talked to me, I remem ber, a good deal'about those letters of Introduction," the chancellor reflected aloud. "But Hhaotia Is a long cry from England, and letters might be forged. I've known such things to bo done. Fetch mo a big red volume you'll find on the third shelf from the floor at the left of the south window. You can't miss it. It's Burke's Peer age." i rose with alacrity to obey. He was rather thoughtful, for bis brother had put ail entirely new and exciting Idea into his head. Pre ontly the red volume was dis covered and laid on tho desk before the chancellor, who turned tho leaves over until ho found tho pago desired. As bis eye fell upon the long line of Mowbrnys his face changed, and the bristling brows came logo.her in a grl/./Jed line. Apparently tb^ women were nol adventuresses, at 1 ?ast in the ordinary acceptation of the (arm. There they were. His square lipped finger pressed down, upon the printed IUI 03 With a dig that might have slg nllled his disposition toward their rep re: onlallves. " The girl's mother is tho widow of i. innld, Sixth Baron Mowbray," the old man muttered half aloud; "son, Reginald Edward, fifteen years of age; er, Helen Agusta, twenty-eight. Aha! She's no chicken, this young lady. She ought to be a woman of tho world.'' "Twealy-elghtl" replied Egon. "I'll eat my bat If she's twenty-elght." "Doesn't sho look it by daylight?" "Not an hour over nineteen; might be younger. Jove, I was never so sur prised b> learn a woman's age! By the bye. I heard her telling Baron von Lynda 1 last night, apropos of our great Bimolten victory, that she wits eleven years old on the day It took place. That would make her about twenty HOW. When she spoke 1 remember she gnvo a look at her mother across the loom ns (hough she were frightened. I suppose she was hoping there was no copy of this big red book at Lyudal borg." "That thought might have been In her mind." assented the chancellor, "or else - lie left his sentence un llnisbed and sat with unseeing eyes fixed In an owlish stare on the open pa.C Burke. ? I ihould like to know if you really moan) what yon said about my mar riage a little while ago"?Egon ven ture 1 to attract his brother's attention ! ?"bocauso if you did"? , "If I did"? ? , . ; III try very hard to please yon n Ii J choice of a wife." "Be a link; more explicit. You mean you would try to prove to Miss Mow bray (hat a captain of cavalry in the hand Is worth an emperor in the bush ?a bramblo bush at that, oh?" "Yes; I would do my best. And, as you say, I'm not without advantages." "You are not. I was on the point of MU ? ting that you made the most of 1 them In Miss Mowbrny's eyes until you i rough I mo this rod book." 'i u ln.f| o forefinger tapped the page of Mowbrnys, while two lines which [ ml"'.i have mean*; amusement or a sue r scored themselves on either side of Iho chancellor's mouth. "And now you've changed your mind?" There was disappointment In EgOH'S Voice. "I don't say Hint. I say only wait. Make yourself as agreeable to the lady as yon like. But don't pledge yourself, I and don't count upon my promise or my money until you bear again. By (hat time -well, we shall see what wo Khali see. Keep your hand in. But ' wait wait." "Ifow long am 1 to watt? If the ' thing's to be done nt all It must bo done soon, for meanwhile the emperor i makes nil tho running." The chancellor looked up again from the red book, his (1st still covering the Mowbrnys as if they were to bo ex i (Ingulshed. "You are to wait," he Bald, "until I've had answers to a COU l pie of telegrams I shall send tonight." (Continued.) ?O.LLthe couch I?no CURE the (LUNC8 I ?^Dr. King's j 'Urn Discovery ! ^?P.
