"Ho shan't escape his humiliation, though," the emperor told himself. "He shall go, ami ho shiill bog forgive ness for his suspicions In saekeloth And ashes. Nothing else can satisfy mo now." Thinking thus, Leopold looked sharp ly from (ho window as his special slowed Into the central station at Kronburg along the track which had been kept clear for Its arrival. No other train was due at the moment; therefore lew persons wore on the platform, und a figure In a Ion;: gray cont, with Its face shadowed by a alouch bat, was conspicuous. The emperor had expected to boo that figure, but vaguely be wished there were not so much briskness and self confidence In the set of the massive head and shoulders. The young man believed absolutely in bis love, but he would have been gratified to delect a Something Of depression ill the cue my's air which ho might translate as a foreknow led go of failure. "I bopo your majesty will forgive (ho liberty I have taken In ? ouilng t i the station without a distinct invita tion to do so," were (ho chancellor's first words as bo met the emperor. "Knowing that you would almost cer tainly arrive by special train, 1 ennio down from my bouse some time ago that I might be on ban ! without fall when you arrived to place my electric carriage at your service. I thought It probable (hat you would ii"t have sent to the palaco and therefore it might save you sonn? slim.. Ineonvonlcneo If I were oil the spot. If you will honor my poor conveynnco" "Don't 1ft us delay our business for explanations or compliments, If y>'\ please, chancellor.*' The emperor cut him short brusquely. "I counted on your being here with your carriage. Now for the hunting lodgO In the W(x"?ds." As he spoko his eyes woi'c on the old man's face, which be hoped to see f ill or change, but there was no visible sign of discomfiture, and Von llrolt stein made no attempt to excuse him self from making tho proposed vi>it. Evidently nothing had happened dur ing tho hours since tho messago by tele phone to change the chancellor's mind. "Yes, your majesty," camo the prompt response. ? Now for the bunt ing lodge In the woods. 1 am ready to go with you there, as I always have boon and always shall \ro ready to serve you when I am needed." It was <>n Leopold's (ongito to say that it would be well If bis chancellor's readiness could be confined to (hose occasions when it was n.led, but he shut his lips upon tin; words and walk ed by the old man's side in fro'/.CIl si lence. The carriage was waiting Just out side the station, and the moment tho two men were seated I lie chauffeur started noiselessly and swiftly. Both windows were closed to keep out the chill of tho night nlr, but soon Leopold Impatiently lowered one, for getting the chancellor's old fa hioned hatred of drafts, and stared Into the night. Already they were approach ing tho outskirts of the great town, and, flying past the dark warehouses and factories of the neighborhood, tin y sped toward tho open country. Tho weather, Still warm the evening liefere -that evening of moonlight no( to bo forgotten- had turned cold with morning, and tonight there was a pungent scout of dying leaves In the nlr. It smote Leopold In the fnco ulth the wind of motion, and it seemed to him the essential perfume of sadness Never again would bo Inhale that fra grance of tho falling year without re calling this hour. Ho was half mad with linpntlcnce to reach tho end of tin? journey and ion found tho chancellor once for all. yet as tho swift electric carriage spun smoothly along tho while road and landmark after landmark vanished be hind tree branches I need with stars something within him would at last have stayed the flying moments had that lMH>n possible. He burned to a k questions of Yon Rreltstoln, yet would have died rather than utter them. It was a relief to the emperor when after a long silence bis companion spoke, though a relief which carried with It a prick of resentment. F.ven the chancellor had no right to speak t%st without permission from his sov ereign. "Forgive mo, your majesty," the old man said. "Your anger Is hard b> hear, yet I bear It uncomplainingly bocauso Of my confidence that the reward is not far off. I lotrk for It no further In the future than tonight." "I, too, believe that you won't miss your reward," returned the emperor sharply. "I Ghali have It, I am sure, not only In your majesty's forgiveness, but In your IhnnkH." "I'll forgive you when you've askod my pnnlon for your suspicions niul when you've found Miss Mowbray for mo." "i have already found her and nm taking you to ber now." "Then you actually believe In your own Btory? Von believe tbat this Bweet and beautiful young girl Is a faet ac tress, n Bcbemor, a friend of your no (orloilBly gallant friend and willing to risk her reputation by paying a lato visit uncbaperoned to him at bis bunt ing lodge In the woods? You are, after all. a very poor Judge of character If you dream (bat we shall see her there." "I shall see her, your majesty, and you will see her unless the madness you eall love has blinded the eyes of your body as well as Ihe eyes of your mind. That she Is now at the lodge I Know, for the prince assured 1110 with Iiis own 111 ist that she had promised to motor out alone with htm and dine." "Von mean he told you that his friend the actress had promised. I'll stake my life even be didn't dare to vay Miss Mowbray." "lie said Miss Hrett, the actress. It's true, but when be called upon her at her hotel, where he and I met to dls cuss a matter which Is no secret to JOlir majesty, ho asked for Miss Mow bray. And the messago that came down I heard. It was that Miss Mow bray would be delighted to see his royal highness. This left no doubt In Illy mind that after giving out that she would leave today tho lady had re mained in Kronburg for tho express purpose of meeting her dear friend the prince, the handsomest and l>cst dress ed young man In Europe-after your majesty, of course. And It was quite natural for her to hope that, ns she was supposed to be. gone and you were fol lowing hor, thla evening's escapade would never bo discovered." "Please spare me your deductions, chancellor," sold the emperor curtly, "and pray understand now, If you havo 11<? t understood before, that I nm with you in this expedition not to prove you right, but wrong, and noth ing you can say will convince mo that the prince's actress and Miss Mowbray are one. If wo find a woman at tho hunting lodge It will not bo the lady \\e seek unless flho has been kidnaped, and as you will presently Im> obliged to eat every word you've spoken the fewer such bitter pills you provide for yourself to swallow the better." Thus snubbed by tho young man w hom he had held in his nrms, an Im perious ns well as an imperial Infant, the old statesman sought sanctuary In silence. Hut he had said that whteh had been in his mind to say, and he was satisfied. Meekness was not his metier, yet he could play the part of tho faithful servant, humbly loyal through Injustice and misunderstand lag, and ho played It now, b* cause he knew It to bo the one effective role. Ho sot beside tlie emjHTor with bowed head and stooping shoulders which suggested the weakness of old age, his hands clasped beforo hhn, and from time to time ho sighed patiently. As they glided under the dark arch of the Buchenwald J.eopold spoko again. ? Von have led me to suppose that our call at tho hunting lodge will be a surprise visit to the prince. That Is the ease. Isn't It?" Count von BreltStoln would have pre ferred that the question* had not been asked. I to had Intended to convey tho impression which the emj>eror had re ceived, but he had not clothed It In actual statement Luckily the prince was as clever as ho was good looking, and he could bo trusted as an actor; otherwise tho old man would have been still inoro reluctant to commit himself, "Were our visit expected we should not be likely to find the lady," sold he. '?The prince nnd I are on such friendly terms, your majesty, that he didn't mind confessing he was to have n pret ty actress as his guest. He also an swered a few questions I asked con cerning her freely and frankly, for to do so he had to tell mo only what the world knows. How could ho dream that the flirtations or tho visits of o Miss Jenny Hrett could i?e of the Slightest Importance to the emperor of lehnetiaV Had he guessed, howevor, that tho entertainment he meant to offer her might l?e interrupted natural ly ho would havo taken some means to protect her from annoyance." " J his night's work will glvo him call '? to pick a private quarrel with inn If ho likes," said tho emperor, con vinced of the chancellor's good faith. "I don't think he will choose, your majesty, Yon aro in o mood to be glad If ho did, I fear. Hut, no; I need not fear. You will always romeml>er It hoc tia and put her Interests beforo your own WIsllOS," "Von weren't as confident of that a few hours ago." "Even then I knew that when the rtvi test should bo applied your moj OSty'a cool head would triumph over Ihe hot Impulse of youth. Hut, see; we're passing through the village of Insoleden, fast osieep already, every Window dark. In six or seven mluutuH at this spec! we shall be at the lodge.'" The emperor laughed shortly. "Add another seven jnluutes to your first seven and we suaii b* out of~the but go again, with Chancellor von Breitetet!) a sadder and a wiser man than he went In." Meekness was once more the pnrt for tho old man to play, and, raising his hands, palm npwurd, In a gestflro of geuerous Indulgence for his young Sovereign, ho denied himself (ho pleas-: uro of retort. The hunting lodge In the wood, now the property of the chancellor's nc- , comniodntlng youup. frleud, had until recently belonged to a Ilhaetlnn senil royal prince who had been compelled by lnek of sympathy among his cred itors to soli Hotnethlng and had prompt ly sold tho thing ho eared for least. Tho present owner was n keen sports man nnd, though ho canto seldom to tho plaee, had speut n good deal of money In repairing tho quaint rustic house. Years had passed since the emperor hud done more than pass the lodge gates, und now the outlines of tho low rambling structure looked strange to blm silhouetted aguluat u upnugled sky. He was glad of this, for ho had spout some Joyous days hore as a boy, and ho wished to separate the old Im pressions and tho new. Two tull chimneys stood up llko the pricked ears of some alert crouching animal. Tho path to tho lodge gleamed white and straight m *iie darkness as a parting In the rough black hair of a giant. The trees whispered gossip to each other In the wind, nnd It seemed to Leopold (hat they were evil things telling lies and slandering his love. Ho hated them nnd their rustling, Which once he bad loved; ho hated tho yellow eyes of tho animal with (he pricked ears, glittering eyes which were lighted windows; he tinted tho young prince who owned the place, ami he woidd have hated the chan cellor more than all had not the old man limped ns ho walked up the pa(h, Showing how heavy was the burden of his years as he had never shown It to his emperor before. The path led to a hooded entrance, nnd, ascending (ho two stone stepB, tho chancellor lifted the mailed glovo which did duty ns a knocker. Twice he brought It down on tho oak panel underneath, and the sound of metal smiting against wood went echoing through the house with an effect of emptiness nnd desolation. Nobody came to nuswer the sum mons, ond Leopold smiled in the dark ness. He thought It likely that even the prince was not at home. A prac tical Joke hod been played oa tho chancellor. Again the mailed list struck the pan el. An echo nlono replied. Couut von Breltsteln began to be alarmed for tho success of his plan. He thanked tho night which hid from tho keen eyes of the emperor?cynical now, no doubt - the telltale vein beating hard' In his forehead. "Don't you think, chancellor, that, ?fter all, you'd better try to toko mo to some more probnblo as well ns more Bultahle place to look for Miss Mow bray?" he suggested, with a drawl In tended to he as-' aggravating as It actu ally was. "There doesn't appear to b? any one about. Even tho caretakers ore out courting perhaps." "Rut listen, your majesty," sold Von Breltsteln when bo knocked ngnin. Leopold did listen nnd beard tho slug of n heel on n floor of stone or marhlu ?'CHAPTER. LICHTE T wob a Jnger clad In green who opened the door of the hunting lodge ond gazed appar ently without recogni tion at the two men standing In the dark embrasure of the porch. "Wo wish to see his royal highness, your master," said tho chancellor, tak ing the Initiative, as ho knew tho em peror would wish him to do. "Ills roynl highness Is not nt homo, sir." replied the Jnger. Leopold's eyes lightened ns lie threw a glnnco of snrcnstlc meaning nt his companion, but Iron Heart was mi "Ilia imperial majesty tho rm)>eror." daunted. Ho knew very well now that this was only a prelude to the drama which would follow, nnd, though he had suffered a sharp pnug of anxiety at first, he saw that his royal friend was playing with commendable real ism. Naturally when l>eautiful young actresses ventured Into the forest un chaperoned to dine with fascinating princes tho least that such favored gentlemen could do was to bo "not at homo" to nn Intrusive public. "You are mistaken," Insisted the chancellor. "His royal highness Is nt home hiu'. will receive us. It will be i>ettor4*for you to admit us without fur ther delay." . Undcr the domination of those eyes, which could quell a turbulent relchstag, tho Jager weukoned, as his muster had doubtless expected htm to do after the first resistance. "It may be I have made a mistake, sir," he stammered, "though I do not think so. If you will have tho kind ness to walk In and wait for a few minutes until I can Inquire whether his royal highness has come home or will come home"? "That Is not necessary," said the chancellor. "Ills royal highness dines hero this evening. YVe will go with you to tho door of the dining room, which you will open for us and an nounce that two gentlemen wish to see him." With this all uncertainty In tho mind of the Jager was swept away. Flo knew his duty and determined to stand by It, nnd the chancellor saw that If the master had given Instructions meaning them to be overridden at least the servant wos sincere. He put himself lu the doorway and looked an obstacle difficult to dislodge. "That Is impossible, sir!" he exclaim ed. "I have had my orders, which are that his royal highness Is not at home tonight, ami until I know whether or not these orders uro to stand nobody, not If It were the emperor, should force his way." j "Fool, those orders are not for us, and It is ?he emperor who will go lu." With a atep aside the chancellor let tho light from the hanging lamp In the hnll shine full upon Leopold's face, hitherto masked in shadow. Ills boast forgotten, the Jager utter ed a cry of dismay, and, with a sudden falling of the knees, ho moved and left tho doorway free. "Your majesty!" ho faltered. "I did not see?I could not know. Most hum bly I beg your majesty's gracious par don. If your majesty will but hold me blameless with my master"? "Never mind yourself, and never mind your master," broke In the chan cellor. "Open that door at the end of the hall and announce the emperor and Count von Broltsteln." Tho unfortunate jager, approaching j a state of collapse, obeyed. The door j of tho dining room, which Leopold i knew of old, was thrown open, and a quavering voice heralded "Ills Imperial j majesty tho emperor and the Herr Chancellor Count von Brcltstetn." The scene disclosed was as unreal to Leopold's eyes as a painted picture ?the walls of pompellan red, the gold candelabra, the polished door spread with the glimmering fur of polar bears and in tho center a (lower f^ked ta ble lit with pink shaded lights and sparkling with gold and crystal; springing up from a chair which faced tho door, a young man In evening dress; sitting motionless, her back half turned, a slender girl In bridal white. At sight of her tho emperor stopped on tho threshold. All the blood In his body seemed rushing to his head, then surging back upon his heart. Tho impossible bad happened. TEft. NINETEEN 1 _;ilL ^ 111 11 1' prince came for /^xvl^l ward. "What a de *^rjfc=/ llghtful surprise:" he ?tf' ^m?L^ said. "How good of p Jfc0 you both to look me up! But I wisli my prophetic soul had warned mo to keep back dinner. We have Just reached the third course." And his eyes met the chancellor's. "All the same," ho went on, "I beg that you will honor me by dining. Ev erything can be ready In a moment, and tho bisque eeerovlsso"? "Thank you," cut In the emperor. "We cannot dine." His voice came hoarsely, ub If a Qcrco hand pinched his throat. "Our call Is purely one of business and a moment will see It fin ished. We owe you an explanation for this Intrusion.' He paused. All Ills calculations were upset by the chan cellor's triumph, for to plan beforehand what ho should do If ho found Helen Mowbray dining hero alone with tho prince would have been to Insult her. Ills campaign had been arranged In the event of tho chancellor's defeat. Now the one courso ho saw open be fore him was frankness. To look at the girl ond meet guilt or deflanco In her eyes would be agony; therefore he would not look, though ho saw her, and her alone, as he stood gazing with a strained fixedness at the prince. Ho know lhat 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 tiled last night In the garden while ho held her In bis arms and their hearts beat together. She had told him then that she loved him, yet she was hero with this man- hero of her own freo will, tho samo girl ho had worshiped as a goddess In the white moonlight twenty four hours ago. Tho thought was hot In his heart as the searing touch of Iron red front tho fire-tho same girl! His blood sang In his ears a song of death, and for an Instant all was black around him. Ho groped In black chaos whero there was neither light nor hope, and dully ho was conscious of tho chancellor's voice Baying, "Your majesty, If you are satisfied, would you not rathe;' go?" Then tho dark spell broke. Eight showered over him as from a golden fountain, for In splto of himself he had met tho girl's eyes -the samo eyes, be cause sho was tee samo girl?sweet eyes, pure and Innocent ond wistfully appealing. "My fJod!" ho cried. "Tell mo why you ore here, nnd whatever you may say I will bellcvo you, in splto of ail and through all, becauso you ore you. and I know thnt you cnn do no wrong.' "Your majesty!" exclaimed the chan cellor. But tho emperor did not hear. With n broken exclamation that was half n 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 nre true! You've stood the test. I love you." "At last, f#-m, i ran Introduce you to my sister Virginia," said the crown prince ot Ilungarla, with a great sigh of relief, for the ending of his difficult part. I^PTEJiTWENTrj k*L_-*? -J*b' ^-??n?l''1 v were alone togcth jTY* ^? er. Adalbert and Count J%T I von Breltsteln had stol? x I on from the room and J JL bad ceased to exist ^- so far as Leopold and Virginia were concerned. "I'll tell you now why I'm hero and everything else," she was saying, but the emperoi stopped her. "Ever since I came to myself I want ed no explanation," ho sold. "I want ed only yon. That Is nil 1 wont now. I am tho hopplest man In tho universe. Why should I ask how I came by my happiness? Virginia! Virginia! It's a more beautiful nnme even than Helen." ?vy.nt listen," she pleaded. "There nre some things-Just a few things? that I long (o 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- ] feet as my hero of romance, Just as you were already perfccll*iis an em peror. To think that I should have been far away out of Hhaetla by this tlmo If Miss Portman hadn't been 111! Dear Miss Portman! Maybe tf 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 when we bad let him come up we hnd only to see his face of surprise He was an gry, too, as well os surprised, for he blurted out that there were all sorts of horrid suspicions against us, and moth er explained everything to him before 1 could have stopped her even If 1 would?how 1 hnd not wanted to ac cept yon unless you could learn to love me for myself and then bow I had been disappointed. No, don't speak; Hint's all over now. You've more than atoned, a thousand times moro. "Dal explained things, too, then?very different things-about a plan of the chancellor's to disgust you with mo and how ho (Dal) had played Into the chancellor's hands because, you see, ho thought he was noting wisely for Iiis neglected sister's snke nnd because he had really supposed nn actress ho knows was masquerading as Miss Mowbray. Very imprudently he'd told her thnt some day there might be something between you and his sister. She knew <|ulte well, too, thnt the real Mowbrays were our cousins; so, you see, as she and lie have quarreled, It might have been an easy ?ud clever way for an unscrupulous woman to take revenge. Dal would have gone nnd perhaps have said dreadful things to tho chancellor, who wos waiting downstairs for news, but I begged him not. From being the saddest girl In tho world I'd suddenly liecomc tho happiest, for the chancellor had told Dal and Dnl 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 Inst night I long ed to put you to one more test. I sold: 'Let the chancellor carry out his plot. Let me go with you to your hunting lodge.' At first Dnl wouldn't consent, but when I begged htm he did, for generally 1 con 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 ond I saw tho look in your eyes. It was a dagger of Ice in my heart. I prayed heaven to make you l>ollevo 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, 'I lovo yon; I ani true!' If you had failed mo then It would havo killed me, but"? "There could bo no but," the em peror broko In. "To doubt Is not to lovo. When a man loves ho knows. Even out of darkness a light comes nnd tells him." "Then you forgive nie-for tonight, nnd for everything, from the begin ning?" "Forgive you?" "And if I'd been different, more like other girls, content with a conventional affection, you wouldn't havo loved mo more?" He took her in bis arms nnd held her ns If ho would never let her go. "If you had been different I wouldn't have loved you at nil," ho sold. "But If things had boon different I couldn't havo helped loving you Just tho samo. I should havo l>eon fated to fall In love with Princess Virginia of Ibiu menburg-Drlppo at first sight, exactly as I fell In love with Helen Mow broy." "Ah, but ot best you'd have fallen In lovo with Virginia because It was your duty, ond you fell In lovo wltn Helen Mowbray becauso It was your duty not to, which makes It so much nicer." "It was no question of duty, but of destiny," said tho emperor. "The stars ordained that I should love you." "Then I wish," and Virginia laugh ed hnpplly, ns she could afford to laugh now, "that tho stars hod told mo lost summer. It would havo saved me a great deal of trouble. Ami yet I *\V?kJUm" the added thoughtfully. ??M'c ?null never he old." "It's been it wonderful adventure. Wo sbnll often talk of it when we're old."

A Traveling Man's Experience. "1 must tell you my experience on an East bound ('). K. & N. K. It. train from Pendleton to Lc Grande. Ore.," writes Sam A. Garbcr, a well known traveling man. "I was in the smoking department with some oilier traveling men when one of them went i ill il to the coach and came back and said, 'There is a woman sick unto death ill the car.' I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her bands 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 w ith 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 gel the ladies to let me give it to h< r, hut I succeeded. I could at once si e the elfect and 1 worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes I gave her another dose. By this lime wo were almost into Ee Grande, whi re I was to leave the train. I gave the bot tle to the husband to be used in ci 0 another dose should be necd< d, but by the time the train ran into Ee Grande she was all right and 1 received the thanks of every passenger in the car."
