THE Princess Virginia By C. N. and A. M. WILLIAMSON, Authors of "OA* l.ltfht nlntf Conductor," "Row miry In Search of n father," Etc. J? <|<8> COPYRIGHT, 1007, BY McCLURB. PMIIXtPS f- CO. CHAPTER FIFTLLN 'HEN Leopold arrived nt Felgurdo ho wont 1111 mediately t<> Iho hotol t> hlch ho iiini designat ed ns a placo of moot ing, ltut n<> Indies an swering to l?o description be4gavohnd been soon tboro. Ito returned nt once to tlio railway Rtutlon. Tlio telegram was still In the hands j of tho station master, to whose can' it had been addressed. This dlllgont per son professed to hnvo sent * man through tho Orient oxpn-ss from end to end calling for Miss Helen Mow bray, but calling In vain. Ho bad no theory more plnuslblo to offer than that the lad.V had not started from Kronburg or else that sho bod left tho train at Fol garde before her name had boon cried. Hut certainly sho would not hnvo hnd time to go far If she were a through passenger, for the Orient express stopped Put ten min utes at Felgardo. It Avns evident throughout the short conversation that tho excellent ofllctnl was on pins and needles. Struck by the emperor's features, which lie bad no often Keen In painting and piioto graph, It still seemed impossible that the greatest man In Minolta could bn traveling thus about the country In or dinary morning dross and unattended. Sure nt one Instant that be must be talking with the emperor, sure the next Hint be had been deceived by n like ness, the poor fellow struggled against his confusion in a way that would have amused Leopold in a different mood. With a manner that essayed l!ie dif ferent mean between rovoronce ?lue to royalty ami common everyday polite ness, good enough for tin ordinary gen tleman, the station master volunteered to ascertain whether the ladies de scribed bad gone out and given up their tickets. A few minutes of sus pense dragged on. Then came tlio news that no such persons had passed. Here was a stumbling block. Since Helen Mowbray and her mother had apparently not traveled by tho orient express, where had they gone on leav ing the hotol nt Kronburg? Had they, after all, misled BoronesH von Lyndal as to their Intentions for the purpose of blinding the emperor, or hnd they simply changed their minds nt tho last minute, as women may? Could it bo posslblo that they had changed thorn so completely ns to return to Sehloss Lyndnlbcrg, or had they chosen to van ish mysteriously through some back door out of Rhnotla, leaving no trace which even a lover could find? Leopold could not help recalling the Chancellor's revelations, but dismissed them ns soon ns they hnd crept Into Ids brain. No mutter where tho clew to the tangle might He, he told himself that it was not In any net of which Helen Mowbray need bo ashamed. He could think of nothing more to do but to g<> dismally buck to Kronburg und ?walt developments or, rather, to stir them up by every means in his power. This was the course he finally chose, and Just ns he was about to act upon his decision he remembered his carelessly given promise to count von Brcitstoln. There was a telephone In the railway station at Eelgs**dc, and Leopold him self called up .; chancellor at Kron burg. "My friends nie not here. I'm start ing for Kronburg ns soon as possible, either by the next train or by special," he announced after a faraway squeak hnd signified Count von Hrcltstctn'S presence at Hub Other end. "l don't see why you wish to know, but 1 would not break my promise; Hint's nil. Goodby. Eh? What was that you Bald?" "I have it-curious piece of news, for you," canto over the wire In the chancellor's voice. "It's about the? ladles." "What is It?" asked Leopold. "I hinted that i hnd more informa tion which I could not give you then. Hut I am In n different position now. Ton did hot find your friends in the Orient express." "No," Bald the emperor. "They gave out that they were leav ing Rhaetla, but they havou't crossed the frontier." "Thanks. That's exactly What I want ed to know." "You renn . er a certain person whose name can't bo mentioned over tho telephone buying a hunting lodge near the village of InSOlOdon, hi the Buchenwald, hist year?" "Yes; I remember very well. But what has that to do with my friends?" "Tho younger lady tins gone there without her mother, who remntns In Kronburg with the companion, it seems that the present owner of Hie hunting lodge has been acquainted with theitl for nome time, though he was ig norant of their masquorado. Von see, ho knows tbotn only under their real nnmo. Tho young lady Is a singer In comic operas, a Miss Jenny Brett, whoso dossier can Ik- given you on de mand. The owner of tin; hunting lodge arrived tit his place this morning, mo tored Into Kronburg, where the young lady had watted, evidently informed of his coming. Rho Invited him to pny her a visit nt her hotel. He accepted and returned the invitation, which she accepted." "You are misinformed. The lady wns Iiqvw an opera singer, and I'm cortntn She WOUld neither receive the person yon mention nor go to visit him." "Will yon drive out to the lodge to night when you reach Kronburg anil honor tho gontlemnn with nn unex peeted call ?" "1 will, d?II you, but not for the rea son you think!" cried ihe emperor. It was the first time In his life that he had ever used strong huiguogo to tho chancellor. I to dropped tho receiver, flung down a gold coin with his own bend upon It (at the moment he could have wished that he had no other) and, Waving away nn offer of change, rushed out of the ..m<?e. t inier his breath he swore ngntn, the strongest oaths which the rich lan guage of his fatherland provided, anathematizing not the beloved wom an, maligned, hut the man who ma ligned her. There would l>e death In the thouglut that she could bo false to herself and her confession of lovo for him. Hut, then. It was unthinkable. Let the whole world reek with foulness, htn love must still shine nbovo It white and remote as the young moon. This old man, whoso lifo would scarce have been safe If In his oinpor "/ teilt, (??7i j/01/, but not for fh? reason you think I" or's present mood tho two had been together- this old man had a grudge against the one perfect girl on eartu. 'I ber?- was no black rag of scandal he would not stoop to pick out of t?e mud j and ll.v as a ting of battle, soothing !:: conscience?if ho had one?by Bay ing it was for "Khuetla's good." Telling himself that these tilings were truths, Leopold hurried away to Inquire for the next train back to Kronburg. There would not l>e anoth er for three hours, he found, and as nothing could have induced him to wall throe hours, or even two, he or deivd a special. There was a raging tiger In his breaHt which would uot (ease to tear him uutll he had seen Helen Mowbray, laid his empire at her feet, received hor answer and, through It, punished the chancellor. The special, he was told, could be ready In lesa than an hour. Tho Jour noj to Kronburg would occupy nearly three more, and It would be close upon 0 beforo he could start with fount von Breltstein for the hunting lodge which he had promised to visit. Hut the chancellor would doubtless have his electric carriage ready for tho de sire.I expedition, and they could reach their destination In twenty minutes. This was uot too long a time to give up to proving tho old man wrong, for to do this, not to find Helen Mowbray, was Leopold's motlvo lu conseutlng. Bbo would not t>o tlie-ro, and the em peror was going becauso she would not. lie wauled to witness Von Rrelt steln's confusion, for humiliation was the blftorcst punishment which could possibly be Inflicted on tho proud and opinionated old man. (Continued.) A Traveling; Man's Experience. "I must tell you my experience on an Hast bound 0. R. & N. R. R. train from Pondleton to Le Grande, Ore.," writes Sam A. Garbcr, a well known traveling man. "I was in the smoking department with some other traveling mon w hen one of them went out into the coach and came back and said, 'There is a woman sick unto death in the car.' I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them and with a death like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to the water tank, put a double dose of the medicine in the glass, poured some water into it and stirred it with a pencil, then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give it to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the 0 free I and I worked with her, rubbing her bands, and in twenty minutes I gave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bot tle to tin; husband to be used in cose another ?lose should be needed, but by ihe linn the train ran into Le Grande she was all right and I received the thanks of every passenger in the car." For sah; by Laurcns Drug Co. MR. FEATIIF.RhTONF, AT SAI.UDA. Attends Temperance R;ilty and Delivers Strong Address. Last Friday lion. C. C. Fenlherstono addressed a temperance rally in Saluda, S. C. Concerning Ids speocli Hie Sa luda correspondent of The News and Courier says: His address was one of the strongest ever heard here and has elicited much favorable comment. Ho stated that for years those who were opposed to the use of intoxicants advocated temperance only, but now after seeing that the only way to treat the evil is to cut it out root and branch, they are working for prohibition. He defied any man to show where- liquor ever elevated man or made him belter. It was a question of right and wrong. The moral phase of the question could not be eliminated, for it was a matter that struck deep in man's moral nature. He next showed that prohibition laws could be as well ?Miforced as any other law. No sane man would contend that a prohibition law could he enforced per fectly no more than could any law passed and enforced by finite minds be enforced perfectly. The latter part of his address was devoted to showing that those who fa vored the sale of intoxicants did not hesitate lo work for men who repre sented their views, while too many church people were content with sing ing and praying about it and going no further. No man could refuse to do his duty as a citizen in matters political no more than he could fail lo do it in any other walk of life. The statement so often heard that Christian people had no business taking active part in politics was a fabrication of the devil and kept alive by those ] whose political opinions on certain is I sues were in contrast lo the opinions of those who desired to see mankind ele vated and bettered, and who wished to see those things which drag down driven from the State. "EveryChristian," said he, "should be a most active politician, for how can you expect to see politics, which it is claimed are so dirty, purified if the Christian people of South Carolina do not enter actively into them and purify them?" Many who heard tin- address make the statement that his argument on the whiskey question is simply unanswt r able. It's a pity when sick ones drug the stomach or stimulate the Heart and Kidneys. That is all wrong! A weak Stomach means weak Stomach nerves always. And this is also true of the Heart and Kidneys. The weak nerves arc instead crying out for help. This explains why Dr. Shoop's Restorative is promptly helping Stomach, Heart and Kidney ailments. The Restorative reaches out for the actual cause of these ailments the failing "inside nerves." Anyway test the Restorative ?IK hours. It won't cure so soon as that, but you will surely know that help is coming. Sold by Palmetto Drug Co. Ml. Olive Notes. fit. Olive, August 24.
