The MADCAP QUEEN Loa-ing the graybeards to prctect the women as best they might, Dana and the young ofilcer set out at a run in the wake of the peasanL Through gro es of giant trees, along a tangled way they plunged, startling tlie shy deer that bounded away among the ,thickets, until at last a clearing (Its closed the little foresters' settlement. Out they caio Into the moonlight, nearly a scoro of inen, staring wide eye( at the hitruders. A few words and the company was gathering. "Now back, and heaven grant we are not too lato!" gasped the young o(li cer; and the party started backward along the wty. Dana led them. They reached the hunting lodge. Thank God the party was there, rally. Jng to meet them, and still secure. "Hadn't we better wait till morn Ing?" babbled the grand chancellor. "Follow me!" shouted Dana, and ran before them, waving a revolver which he had acquired-lie never 'knew how. They were in the rock tunnel again, iproceeding slowly, as they needs must, to guide their steps by the light of the flickering torches. Looking back time and again during that Journey Dana could see the queen among her maids, and the sweet features of the maid of honor whom he loved. Sometimes her eyes caught his, and there seemed a message of hope in then which thrilled him even in that moment. At last the parsago ended. They cliste'ed at the head of the secret stairs. Very cautlously the young of fleer drew hack the sliding panel in the floor. Instantly a loud sound reached the ears of the party. ]Iut it was not i the shouts of men. It was the snorea of sleepers. In fact, Prineo INTendrickc's mena. who had been drinking freely throughout the afternoon, had, upon gaining the empty palace, at once inade free use of the wines laid out for the guests, with the inevitable result. Very quietly the party assembled within the anteroom. Only the ieast rustling of the wonn's robes be trayed their presence. The grand chancellor tried to persuade them to remain in the vault, but vainly. They pushed past him and the gray old man, the last to enter, followed and .puslie:l back tho secret door. Trhe snoring soinded louder. It came from tie ballroom. Creeping for ward the resetters saw a dozen men, Prince Ilendrick's comrades, about a table, their heads resting upon their arms, asleep. Suddenly somebody-some solitary sentry--called. Instantly the raider were on their feet, groping for their revolvers, and 6taring stupidly at the attacking foresters. And at their head, the first to recognize the situa. tion, was Hendrick. He saw the predicament and, draw ing his sword, leaped forward with a cry. Ils eyes fell upon Dana. Mad with rage, lie rushed at him to cut him down. Instantly the vast room was filled with a struggling mob. Revolvers cracked and through the drifting smoke Dana saw his adversary striv ing fiercely to get at him. Then suddenly Prince Ihendrick pitched forward and fell, and his fol lowers broke and streamed away in panic-stricken flight. Somebody raised the body of the fallen tuan. It could be seen at a glance that lhe was (lead, A shout, a triumtphant bodyguard aroundi~ the queen.
