(>d in llio long double
breasted gray overcoat
und tlie soft gray lint
in which all snapshot
photographs (no otbcra
had over hen Inkuu) showed iho chan
cellor or Khuclla.
At sight of Iho emperor off cntue (ho
fit in uns h:il, barlug the bald dome of
the line old head, fringed with hair of
curiously mingled black and white.
"Good day, your majesty," lie said,
with no s|e,n of surprise in Ids voice or
roc*.
Tho traIn rocked going around u
CUl'VO, and il was with dltllculty Hint
the clinncellor kept his folding. Hut
lie stood rigidly erect, supporting htm
BOlf In the doorwny until tho emperor,
with more politeness than enthusiasm,
invited III 1)1 to enter and be seated.
'Tin glad you'ro well enough to trav
el, chancellor," said Leopold. "We had
none tun encouraging an account of
you from Captain von Brcltstolll."
"I travel because yon travel, your
majesty," replied tin? old man. "It Is
kind of von to tolerate me here, and I
appreciate il."
Now they sat facing each other, and
Hie young man, flghtlug down a sense
of guilt, familiar to him in boyish
days when ilbotlt to lie taken to tusk
by the chancellor, gazed fixedly at the
hard, clover face on which tho after
noon sun scored the detail of euch
wrinkle.
"Indeed!" was the emperor's only
n nswer.
"Your majesty, I have served you
and your lather before you well, I
hope faithfully, I know I think you
trust me."
"No man more. But this sounds a
portentous preface. Is It possible you
"Good day, i/eitr majesty," ho taUl.
Imaglno it necessary to "lead up' to a
pubject if I can please myself by doing
you a favor?"
"If I have seemed to lead Up to what
I wish to say, your majesty, it Is only
for the saue of explanation. YOU are
wondering, no doubt, how i know you
would travel today and in tills train;
also whv I have ventured to follow. I
Your intention I learned by accldont."
Tho chancellor did not explain by
what diplomacy dial "accident" had
been brought about. "Wishing much
to talk over with you a pressing mat
ter thai should not be delnyed, I took
ibis liberty and seized this opportu
nity.
"Some men would in my place pre
tend that business of their own had
brought them and (hat the train bad
been chosen by chatlCO. But your maj
esty unows me us a blunt man when I
serve him not as diplomat, but us
friend. I'm not one to work In the
dark with tllOSO who trust me. and '
want your majesty to know the truth."
(Which perhaps he did, but not the
whole t ruth.)
"Yo?ir raise my curiosity," said Leo
pold.
"Thon have I your I lid UI got ICO to
Sponk frankly not entirely ns a hum 1)10
subject to his emperor, but ns an old
man to a yotltlg man."
"I'd have v oil speak as a friend,"
paid Loopold. But a Slight constraint
hardened bis volco as In? prepared him
self for soniotlilng disagreeable
"I'VO had a letter from the crown
prime of Huilgarln, It has come to Ids
Oars that there Is a certain reason for
jour majesty's delay In following up
flu; first overtures for an allkmee with
bis family. Malicious tOUgUCS have
whispered that your majesty's atten
tions are otherwise engaged, und the
young Adalbert has addressed me In a
friendly way, hogging that the rumor
may be contradicted or confirmed."
"I'm m>t sure that negotiations hud
gone f ir cilOlfgll to glVO him the right
to be Inquisitive," rot timed Leopold,
flushing.
The chancellor spread out his old
veined hands in a gesture of appeal.
"I fear," In? said, "Hint In my anxiety
for your majesty's welfare and the
imod of Bhaotln I may have exceeded
my Instructions. My one excuse Is
that I believed your mind to bo defi
nitely made up. I st|il believe It to l>0
so. I would listen to no one who
idioiild try to persuade mo of tho con
i trury, und I will write Adalbert"?
"You must get yourself ami mo out
of the Scrape ns best you cnu. since
you (Ulmit you got us Into It," broke In
the emperor, with nn uneasy Inugh.
"If Princess Virginia of Haumenberg
Drlppe Is ns r-harintng as she Is natd to
Iii?, her difficulty will he In choosing a
husband, not In getting one. For once,
my dear choucellor, gossip has told
tho truth, and I wouldn't pny tho
princess so poor a eompllment ns to
lisle for her hand when I've no heart
left t<> Kive her In exchange for It.
There's some one else"?
"It Is of that some one elso I would
venture to speak, your majesty. Gos
sip 1ms named her. May I?"
"I'll save you tho trouble, for I'm
not ashamed that the common fate
has overtaken ine?common localise
every man loves once I to fore he dies,
and yet uncommon because no man
over loved a woman so worthy. Chan
j eel I or, there's no woman In the world
like Miss Helen Mowbrny, tho lady to
whom I owe my lifo."
"It's natural you should Ite grate
ful, your majesty, but"?
"It's natural I should Ite In love."
"Natural that a young man Inex
perienced In affairs of tho heart should
mistake warm gratitude for love, Im
possible that the mistake should he al
lowed to continue."
Leopold's eyes grew dark. "In such
a connection," he said, "It would be
heiter not to mentlou the word 'mis
take.' I'm glad you are here, for now
you can learn from me my Intention*
toward that lady."
?Intentions, did you say, your majes
ty? 1 fear I grow hard of hearing."
"At least you will never grow slow
of understanding. I did speak of my
I intentions toward Miss Mowbray."
?You would give the lady some mag
j nlllcent estate, BOine splendid acknowl
edgment"?
"Whether splendid or not would bo a
matter of opinion," laughed tho em
peror. "I shall offer her n present of
i ivsolf."
The old man had been sitting wl'a
I his chin sunk lnt.o his JiluvC .wok, peei I
lug (tut from under his brows in a Way
In- had. but he lifted his head sudden
ly, with a look In his eyes like that of
an animal who Hcents danger from an
unexpected quarter.
"Your majesty," he exclaimed, "you
are your father's son, you are It hue
tlan, and your standard of honor"?
"I hope to marry Miss Mowbray,"
I/eopold cut him short.
The chancellor's Jaw dropped, and he
grow pale. "I had dreamed of nothing
:is had as this," ho blurted out, with
no thought or wish to sugar the truth.
"1 feared a young man's rashness. I
dreaded scandal. Hut, forgive me, your
majesty. Lor you a morganatic mar
riage would he madness"?
"A morganatic marriage I did think
of at flrst, hut ou second thoughts I
saw It would Ite ungrateful."
"Ah, yes, to tho country which ex
pects so much (tf you."
"No, to the woman who has the
right to all or nothing. I will make her
empress of Khaetla."
With a cry the chancellor sprang up.
His eyes glared like Jho eyes of a bull
who receives the death stroke. His
working lips and the hollow sound In
his throat alarmed the emperor.
"No, your mojesty, no:" ho panted.
"Rut I say yes," .Leopold answered,
ami let no man give mo nay. I've
thought it all out. I will make her a
countess llrst. Then she shall be mode
my empress."
"Your majesty, It Is not possible."
"Take care, chancellor."
"She has been deceiving you. She \
has neither the birth, tho position nor !
the name she claims to have, and I
can prove It."
"Yon are mad. Von Brettsteln," the
emperor Hung at him. "That can bo
your only excuse for such words."
"I am not mad, but I am cid and
wise, your majesty. Today you have
made me feel that I am very old.
Punish mo as you will for my frank
ness. My work for you and yours Is
nearly done. Cheerfully will I sab- J
Hill to my dismissal If only this last
effort In your service may save the
ship of state from wreck. I would
n -t make an accusation which I could
not prove. And I can provo that the
two English ladles who have been
slaying ot SchlOBS Lyndnlberg are not
the persons they pretend to be."
"Who has I teen lying to you?" cried
Leopold, who held lietween clinched
hands the temper lie vowed not to lose
with fids old mnn.
"To me, no ono. To your majesty, to
loeloty In KronbUfg, two adventuress
es have lied." *
The emperor caught his breath. "If
you were a young man I would kill
,\ on *"or that," he said.
"I know you would. An It In, my
life Is yours. Hut lteforo you take It.
for Cod's sake, for your father's sake,
hear mo out!"
Leopold did not speak for a moment,
hut stared at the vanishing landscape,
which he saw through a red hn/.e.
"Very well," he said at iuHl; "I will
hear you, ltecttuse I 'ear nothing you
can say."
"When 1 heard of your nmjesty'n ad
miration for n certain lady," the chan
cellor begun quickly lost the eui|>eror
should change his inlud, "1 looked for
her nnmo and her mother's In Hurke'.-? i
Peerage. There I found I.ady Mow
bray, wldOW of a dead bnron of that i
Ilk, mother of a sou still a child mid '
of Odo daughter, ay?urig woman with
many names and twenty-eight years.
"This surprised me, ns the Miss
Mowbray I had seen at the birthday
ball looked no inoro than eighteen
and, I Was told, confessed to twenty.
The Mowbrays, I learned by a little
further research in Burke, were dis
tantly connected by marriage with the
family of Baumcnhurg-Drlppe. This
seemed tin odd coincidence In the cir
cumstances. But, acting as duty hade
me act, I wired to two persons?Baron
von Surk, your majesty's ambassador
to CJreot Britain, and the crown prince
of Hungarla, tho brother of Princess
Virginia."
"What did you telegraph?" asked the
emperor Icily.
"Nothing compromising to your maj
esty, you may well believe. I Inquired
of Adalbert If ho had English rela
tions, a Lady Mowbray and daughter,
Helen, traveling In Hhaetla, and I beg
ged that If so he would describe their
appearnnee by telegram. To Von Sark
I said that particulars by wire concern
ing the widow of Lord Mowbray and
dnnghter, Helen, would put me under
personnl obligation. Both these mes
sages I sent off night beforo last. Yes
terday 1 received Adalbert's answer,
this morning Von Sark's. They are
here." And the chancellor tapped the
breast of his gray coat. "Will your
majesty read them?"
"If you wish," replied Leopold at his
baugbtlest and coldest.
The old man unbuttoned bis coat and
produced a coroneted pocketbook, a
souvenir of friendship on his last birth
day from the emperor. Leopold saw It
and remembered, as the chancellor
hoped he would.
"Here are tho telegrams, your maj
esty," he said. "The tlrst one la from
the crown prince of Ilungarla."
"Have no Idea where Lady Mowbray
und duughter are traveling; may be
Hhaetla or north pole," Adalbert had
written, with characteristic flippancy.
"Have seen neither for eight years
and scarcely know them. But Lady
M. tall, brown old party, with noso like
hobbyhorse; Helen dark, noso like
mother's, wears glasses."
With no betrayal of feeling, Leopold
laid the telegram on the red plush
seat and unfolded the other.
"Pardon delay," tho Uhactlan am
bassador's message began. "Have
tveen making Inquiries. Lady Mow
I bray has been widow for ten years.
I Not rich. During son's minority has
let her town and country houses.
Lives much abroad. Very high church.
Intellectual, at present In Calcutta.
' where daughter Helftij *veuv*relgdVl
i jZ pretty, Is lately engaged to marry
middle aged Judge of some distinction."
"So"?and the emperor threw aside
the second bit of paper?"It Is on such
slight grounds as these that a man of
tho world can lnl>el two ladles 'ad
venturesses.' "
Tho chancellor was bitterly disr.p
pointed. lie had counted on the Im
pression which these telegrams must
make, and unless Leopold were act
ing It was now certain that love had
driven him out of his senses.
But If the emperor were mad he [
must l>e treated accordingly, and the
old statesman condescended to "bluff."
"There Is still more to tell," he said,
"If your majesty has not heard enough,
but I think when you have reflected
you will not wish for more. It Is clear
9 i
that the women calling themselves
Mowbrays have bad the audacity to
present themselves here under false1
colors. They have either deceived
Lady Lambert, who introduced them
to Rhaetlnn society, or, still more like
ly, they have cleverly forged their let
ters of Introduction."
"Why didn't you telegraph to Lady
Lambert while your hand was In?"
sneered Ijeopold.
"I did, your majesty, or, rather, not
knowing her present address. 1 wired \
a friend of mine, an acquaintance of
hers, begging him to make Inquiries
without using my name, but I have
not yet received an answer to that tele
gram."
"Until you do I should think that
even a cynic like yourself might give
two dofeiisoless, inoffensive ladles the
Wnettt of the doubt."
"luoffenslve," echoed Von Brelt
stelu?"Inoffensive when they enmo to
this country to ensnaro your majesty '
through the girl's beauty! But, great
heaven, It Is true thot I am growing
old! I have forgotten to ask your maj
esty whether you have gone bo far as
to mention the word marriage to Miss
MoWhray ?"
"I'll answer that question by another.
Do you really believe that Miss Mow
bray came to Hhaetla to 'entrap' me?"
"I do, though I scarcely think that !
even her ambition flew ns high as you
are encouraging It to soar."
"In case you're right she would have
been overjoyed with an offer of mor
ganatic marriage."
"Overjoyed Is a poor word. ? Over
whelmed might be nearer."
"Yet I tell you sho refused me last
ntght and Is leaving Hhaetla today
rather than listen to further entrea
ties."
Leopold bent forward to launch this
thunderbolt, his brown hands on his
knees, bin eyes enger. The memories,
half bitter, half sweet, called up by
bis own words caused Virginia to ap
pear more t>enutlful, more desirable,
ever than l>efore.
Ho wnB delighted with the expres
sion of the chancellor's face. "Now,
whst arguments have you left?" he
broke out In the brief silence.
"All I had Ia?fore and many new
ones, for what your majesty has said
shows the holy more ambitious, more
astute, therefore more dangerous, than
I had guessed. Sho staked everything
on the power of her charms, ami she
might have won had you not nit old
servant who wouldn't be* fooled by the
\ witcheries of a fair fielen."
"Sho has won," said Leopold, then
I quickly: "tjod forgive me for chiming
[in with your bitter humor, ns If she'd
played a game. By "simply being "her
i Hclf 8ho has won me, such as I nm.
She's proved thai If she cares at all
It's for the man and not the emperor,
since sho called the offer you think so
magnificent nn Insult. Yes, chancel
lor, that was the word she used, and
It was almost the last she said to me,
which Is the reason I'm traveling to
j day. And none of your boasted "proofs'
can hold me back."
"By heaven, your majesty must look
upon yourself from the point of view
you credit to the girl! You forget the
emperor In the man."
"The two need not be separated."
"Love indeed makes men blind and
spares not the eyes of emperors."
"I've pledged myself to bear with
you, chancellor."
"And I know you'll keep your word.
I must speak for Ithaetla and your
better self. Y'ou are following this?
I lady to give her your empire for a
toy."
"She must llrst accept the emperor
as her husband."
"A lady who has so poor a name of
her own that she steals one which
doesn't belong to her?the nation won't
bear lt." f
"You Rpeak for yourself, not for
Ithaetla," said Leopold. "Though I'm
not so old as you by half your years,
I believe I can Judge my people better
than you do. The law which bids an
I emperor of Ithaetla match with royal
ty is an unwritten law, a law solely of
customs handed down through the gen
erations. I'll not spoil my life by sub
i mlttlng to Its yoke, since by breaking
It the nation gains, as I do. I could
I go to the world's end and not find n
woman as worthy to ho my wife and
j empress of ithaetla as Helen Mow
| bray."
"You have never seen Princess Vir
ginia."
"I've no wfesh to see her. There's but
I one woman for me, and I swear to you
If I lose her I'll go to my gravo un
married. Let the crown fall to my
uncle's son. I'll not perjure myself
even for Ithaetla."
The chancellor bowed his head and
held up his hands, for by that gesture
alone could he express his despair.
"If my people love me they'll love
my wife and rejoice In my happiness,"
1 Leopold went on sharply. "If they
! complain, why, we shall seo who's
' master?whether or not the emperor of
Ithaetla Is a mere figurehead. In some
countries royalty Is hut on ornamental
' curvtval of a picturesque past; n king
or queen Is a mere puppet which the
n.Vibii- iban's wm'iV nixmy to do lt'seil*
honor. That's not true of Ithaetla,
though, as I'm ready to prove, If prove
It I must. "But I believe I shall be
spared the trouble. We Hhaetians love
romance?you are perhaps the one ex
ception?while, as for the story you've
told me, I would not give that for It!"
And the emperor snapped his fingers.
"You still believe the ladles have a
right to the name of Mowbray?"
"I believe that they ore of stolnless
reputation and that auy seeming mys
tery can be explained. Miss Mowbray]
Is herself. That's enough for me. Per
haps, chancellor, there are two I.ady
Mowbrays."
"Only one Is mentioned In Iturke."
"Burke Isn't gospel."
"Pardon me. It's the gospel of the
British peerage. It can no more be
guilty of error than Euclid."
"Xor can Miss Mowbray be guilty of
wrong. I should still stake my life on
that even had your conclusions not
been lame ones."
The old man accepted this rebuff In
silence. Hut It was not the silence of
absolut?' hopelessness; It was only such
a pause as a prize fighter makes be
tween rounds.
"Your majesty will not be lu too
great haste, nt all events, I trust," he
said at last?"at least a llttlo reflec
tion, a little patience, to cool the blood.
I have not laid down all my cards yet."
"It's often bad policy not to lead
trumps," replied Leopold.
"Oftou, but not always. Time and
?the end of the play will show. Is your
majesty's Indulgence for tho old man
quite exhausted?"
"Not quite, though rather strained, I
confess." I/eopokl tempered his words
witli a faint smile.
"Then I havo ono more Important
question to ask, venturing to remind
you first that I havo acted solely In
your Interest. If such a step as you
contemplate should l>o iny deathblow
It Is because of my love for you and
Ithaetla. Tell me, your majesty, this
one thing. If It were proved to you
that (lie lady you know as Miss Mow
bray was not only not tho jterson she
pretends to be, but in all other respects
unworthy of your love, what would
you do?"
"You speak of Impossibilities."
"But if they were not Impossibili
ties?"
"In such a enso I should do as other
men do? spend tho rest of my life in
trying to forget a lost ideal."
"I thank your majesty. That Is all I
ask. I suppose you will continue your
journey?"
"Yes, as far as Kelgarde, where I
hope to find Lady Mowbray and her
daughter."
"Then, your majesty; when I've ex
pressed my gratitude for your for
bearance, even though I've failed to
he convincing, I'll trouble you no long
er."
The chancellor rose painfully, with n
reminiscence of gout, and Leopold
stared at him lit surprise. "What do
you mean?" he asked.
"Only that, ns I can do no further
good here, with your permission I will
get out at the station we are coming
h> and go back home again."
The emperor realized what he had
not noticed until this moment that the
train was slackening speed as It np
proaChed (ho suburbs of a town. His
conversation with the chancellor hail
lasted for nn hour, und he was far
from regretting the prospect of being
left In peace. More than once he had
come perilously near to losing bin tem
per, forgetting his gratitude and tho
old man's years. How much longer he
could have held out under a continued
strain of provocation he did not know.
So he spoke no Word of dissuasion when
Count von Jlreltsteln picked up his soft
hat and buttoned his gray coat for de
parture.
"I've passed pleasanter hours In your
Boctety. I admit." said Leopold when
the train stopped. "But I can thank
you for your motives, If not your max
ims, and here's iny hand."
'It would be most kind of your maj
esty to telephone me from Kelgardo."
the chancellor exclaimed, as If on a
BUdden thought, while they shook
hands, "merely to say whether you re
main there or whether you go farther
or whether you return at one?. I am
too fatigued to trarel back Immediate
ly to Schloss BreltSteln and shall rest
for some hours at least In my house
at Kronburg, so a call will find me
there."
"I will do as you ask," said the em
peror. Again he pressed the chancel
lor's hand, and It was very cold.
