"Oh, L'ou ivon't hill us?"
avail nothing ii* this instance," said .
the leader pleasantly. "Your escort (
has tied as though pursued by something
oironger than shadows; your (
?v. driver has deserted; your horses are ,
hulf dead; you are indeed, as you have
said, powerless. And you are, besides
all these, In the clutches of a band of
merciless cutthroats."
"Oh," moaned Beverly, suddenly ,
leaning against the fore wheel, lior
eyes almost starting from her head.
The leader laughed quietly?yes, good !
naturedly. "Oh, you won't?you won't
kill us?" She had time to observe that
there were smiles on the faces of all i '
the men within the circle of light.
"Rest assured, your highness," said
the loader, leaning upon his rille barrel
with careless grace, "we intend no
harm to you. Every man you meet In
Graustar!; is' not a brigand, I trust,
for your sake. We are simple hunters,
and not what we may seem. It Is
fortunate that you have fallen Into
honest hands. There is some one In
the coach?" he asked, quickly alert. A
prolonged groan proved to Beverly that
, Aunt Fanny had screwed up suflicieut
(I courage to look out of the window.
"My old servant," she half whispered.
Then, as several of the men
started toward the door: "But she Is
old and wouldn't harm a fly. Please, :
please don't hurt her."
"Compose yourself; slio Is safe,"
said the leader. By this time it was
quite dark. At a word from him two
or three men lighted lanterns. The
picture was more weird than ever in
the fitful glow. "May I ask, your high- !
ness, how do 3*011 intend to reach Edel- 1
weiss In your present condition? You
cannot manage those horses and, besides.
you do not know the way."
"Aren't 3*011 going to rob us?" demanded
Beverly, hope springing to the
surface with n joyful bound. The
stranger laughed heartily and shook
his head.
"Do we not look like honest men?"

"It's very strange." muttered Beverly.
somewhat taken aback.
"Have you observed that it is quite
dark?" asked the leader, putting away '
Lis brief show of indignation.
"Dear me; so it Is!" cried she, now ^
able to think more clearly.
"And you ere miles from an Inn or | ^
louse of any kind," he went on. "Do
rou expect to stay hero all night?"
"I'm?I'm not afraid," bravely sl.'v- j
ired Beverly.
"It Is most dangerous.

voice went on.

2d Beverly.
|)(
The chief of ihc "honest men" laugh- ,
2d again, a clear, ringing IMigh that he- sj
spoke supreme confidence in his right
to enjoy himself. ...
"And who Is Aunt Fanny?" he asked, ^
covering his patch carefully with, his t;|
slouching hat. n,
"My servant. She's colored." Iu
"Colored?" he asked in amazement. Q.
"What do you mean?" ^
"Why, she's a licgress. Don't you

"You moan she js a slave?a black

"Wo don't own nlnven nny nio-? I

ever?then at last, to satisfy himself, ^
walked over and peered into the coaeh. n
Aunt Fanny set up a dismal howl. An
instant later Kir Honesty was pushed '5:
aside, and Miss Calhoun was anxiously
trying to comfort her okl friend u
through the window. The man looked st
on in silent wonder for a minute and 111
then strode off to where a group of his ! 01
men stood talking. ?*
"Is yo' child yit, Miss Bev'ly?is do
end cauie?" moaned Auq* ^ cny. Bev- w
crly could not repress a sir... 1
"I am quite alive, auntie. '1 . men
will not hurt us. They are very nice . ('c

servation in a loud voice, and it had
its effect" for tlio len.lot* mmn (n lini> fC

side with long strides. , "
"Convince your servant that wo mean I
no harm, your highness," lie said eager
ly, a new deference in his voice and I
manner. "We liave only the best of ,
motives in mind. True, the lulls are 111
full of lawless fellows, and we are ',(
obliged to f^ut them almost daily, but a'
you have fallen in with honest men? 8(
very nice gentlemen, 1 trust. Less than ^
an hour ago we put a band of robbers V!
to flight"? w
"I heard the shooting," cried Bevcr- *3
ly. "It was that which put my escort 'll
to flight."
"They could uot have been soldiers
of Graustark, then, yotn highness," i si
quite Mdlantly. 1 d'
"They wore Cossacks, or whatever .
you call them. But, pray, why do you 81
call mo 'your highness'/'" demanded
Beverly. The tall leader swept the di
ground with his hat once more. | rl
"All the outside world knows the
Princess Yetlve?why not the humble B
mountain man? You will pardon me, !
but every man in the liitls knows that x
you are to pass through on tho way p
from St. Petersburg to Ganlook. We vc
are not so tar rroiu tiie world, arter i
all, we rough people of the bills. We \
know that your highness left St. To ; j,,
tersburg by rail last Sunday and took p
to the highway day before yesterday j ^
beenuse the Hoods had washed away ;
tho bridges north of <A.xphalu. Even
^
id hills have eyes anil ears."
Beverly listened with Increasing perlexity.
It was true that she had left
t. Petersburg on Sunday; that the uureeedeuted
Hoods had stopped all railay
trathe In the hills, compelling her
) travel for mauy miles by stage, and
uit the whole country was confusing
er in souie strange way with the Prlness
Votive. The news had evidently
pod throu Ii Axphain and tlie hills
ith the swiftness of tire,. It would be
sol; ss to deny the sto?y; these men
ouhl not believe her. In a flash she
iK'ided that it wotdd be best to pose
or the tiiue being as the ruler of
Irauxtnr!;. It remained only for her
> impress upon Aunt Fanny the iuiorta
nee of this resolution.
"What wise old hills they must be,"
ic said, with evasive enthusiasm. '
Vou cannot expect me to admit, how. er,
that I am the princess," she Went
a.
"It would not he just to your cxeel nt
reputation for tact if you did so,
our highness," calmly spoke the man.
it is quite as easy to say that you are
ot the princess as to say that you are,
o what matters, after all? We reorve
the right, however, to do horngo
to the queen who rules over these
lso old hills. 1 offer you the humble
or vices of myself and my coinpau>ns.
We are yours to command."
"h am very grateful to find that you
re not brigands, believe me," said
loverly. "Pray tell me who you are,
ion, and you shall be sutlicl^ntly regarded
for your goa l intentions."

that I am a poacher and have no

iils. The only reward 1 can ask is forivene<s
for trespassing upon the proprtv
of others."
*
"You shall receive pardon /or all
ansgrosslons, but you must get me to
mie place of safety," said Beverly caerly.
"And quickly. too, you might well

now of a place where you may spend
ic night comfortably and be refreshed
ir the rough journey tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? IIow can I go 011? I
111 alone!" she cried despairingly.
"Permit mo to remind you that you j
re 110 longer alone. You have a raged
following, your highness, but it
hall be a loyal one. Will you re-en toe
lie coach? It is not far to the place I
peak of, and I myself will drive you
ere. Come, it is getting late, and
>ur retinue, at least, is hungry."
He Hung open t.ie coach door, and his
it swept the ground once more. The
gl 1L of a lantern played fitfully upon
s dark, gaunt face, with its gallant
11 iIf and ominous patch. She liesitat- l
1, fear entering her soul once more, i
e looked up quickly and saw the iitde- 1
si an in her eyes, the mute appeal.
"Trust me. your hit Ira > he said
ravely, and she allowed him to hand
>r into the coach.
A moment later ho was upon the
Ivor's box, reins in hand. Calling out
1 his companions in a language I
range to Beverly, lie cracked the 1
liip, and once more tliey were linn- j
wing over-the wretched road. Ttevcr. i
sank back int.) tin? scat with a deep \
gls of resignation.
"Well, I'm in for it," she thought, j
It doesn't matter whether they are |
licves or angels, l reckon I'll have to

CHAPTER V.
WO of the inuii walked close be- I
I 1 ?*uU? iho door, ono of tUom lionr;[
I ing a lantern. They conversed |
i in low tones and in a language
hich Hcverly could not understand,
fter awhile she found herself analystg
the garb and manner of the men. j
io was saying to herself that here
ere her tirst real specimens of (Iranark
peasantry, and they were to
ark an ineffaceable spot in her inem y.
They were dark, strong faced men
medium height, with tierce black
res and long black hair. As no two
ere dressed alike, it was impossible
i recognize characteristic styles of acre.
Some were in the rude, baggy
(stumers of the peasant as she had
lagined him; others wore dressed in
.
io tight fitting but dilapidated unitrms
of the soldiery, while several
ere in clothes partly European and
irtly oriental. There were liats and
z/.es and caps, some with feathers in
10 bands, others without. The man
>ni"st the coach wore the dirty gray :
aiform of an army olflcer. full of
)les and rents, while another strode
ong in a pair of baggy yellow troll*
>rs and a dusty London dinner Jacket.
11 in all, it was the inotllest hand of
tgabonds she had ever seen. There
ere aPdoast ton or a dozen in the parWhile
a few carried swords, all
igged the long rifles and crooked dagsrs-of
the Tartars.
"Aunt Fanny," Beverly whispered,
lddenly moving to the side of the subned
servant, "where Is my revolver?"
: had come to her like a flash that a
lbsequent emergency should not find
?r unprepared. Aunt Fanny's jaw
ropped, and her eyes were like whlto
ngs In a black screen.
"Good Lawd, wha ? what fo', Miss
ov'ly"?
"Sh! Don't call mo Miss Bev'ly.
ow, Just you pay 'tontlon to ir rt, and
11 tell you something queer. Oct my 1
wolver right away and don't let those
len see what you are doing." While |
unt 1< annys trembling lingers went J
i sen roll of the firearm, Beverly out- j
ned (he siluntion briefly, but explicitThe
old woman was not slow to '
nderslmuj. Her wits sharpened by 1
;ar, she grasped Beverly's 1 untrue- i
r
tious with astonishing axidily.
"Vo'y well, jo' highness," she saiil,
with line reverend "Ah'll p'ocuuli tie
buttle o' pepp'mlnt fo' yo' It" yo' jos'
don* mine in> pulllu' au' haulin'
'uiougst dose boxes. Mebhe yo' all
'drutlier hah do glngohV" With this
wonderful subterfuge as a shield she
dug slyly iuto one of the bags and
pulled forth a revolver. Under ordinary
circumstances she would have
been mortally afraid to touch It, but
not so in this emergency. Beverly
shoved the weapon into the pocket of
her gray traveling jacket.
"I feel much better now, Aunt Fan
uy," she said, and Aunt Fanny gave a
vast chuckle.
"Yens, um'nm. Indeed?yo* highness,"
she agreed suavely.
The coach relied along for half an
hour and then stopped with a sudden
jolt. An Instant later the tall driver
appeared at the window, his head uncovered.
A nan hard by held a lantern.
"Qua vandos ar deltanet, yos sevent."
said the leader, showing his white
teeth in a triumphant smile. His exposed
eye seemed to be glowing with
pleasure and excitement.
"What?" murmured Loverly hopelessly.
A puzzled expression came into
Ids face; then his smile deepened and
his eye to; :c on a knowing gleam.
"Ah, I Nee," he said gayly, "your
highness prefers not to speak the language
of Craustark. Is it necessary
for me to repent in Hnglish?"
"I really wish you would," said Beverly,
entchoig her breath. "Just to see
how it rounds, you know."
"Your every wish shall be gratified.
I bog to inform you that we have
reached the Inn of the Ilawk and Haven.
This is where we dwelt l ist night.
Tomorrow we, too, abandon the place,
so our fortunes may run together for
some hours at least. There is but little
to offer you in the way of nourishment.
and there is none of the comforts
of a palace. Y'et princesses can
no more lu choosers than beggars
when the fare's in one pot. Come,
?r.-.y Jdi-d'i -ss. let me conduct you to ,
the guest eunniber of the Inn of the
Hawk and Haven." I
Beverly took his hand and stepped to
the ground, looking about In wonder
and perplexity.
"I see no inn," she murmured apprehensively.
"Look aloft, your highness. That
great black canopy in the roof; wo aro
standing upon the door, and the (lark
shadows just bovond the circle of light ,
are the walls of the Ilawk and Ilaven.
This is the lar est tavern in all <11 runstark.
Its dimensions are as wide utf
the world itself."
' You mean that there is uo inu r.;
all?" the girl crie.l in dismay.
"Alas, I mu.-t confess It. And yet
there is shelter here. Come with me.
Let your servant follow." He took her
by the liaud and led her away from
the coach, a ragged lantern bearer
preceding, Beverly's little right hand
was rigidly clutching the revolver in
her pocket. It was a capacious pocket,
and tin; muzzle of ..,e weapon boied
y into a timid powder rag that
lay on the bottom. The little leather
purse from which it escaped had its 1
silver lips opened as if in a broad griu ' 1
of derision, reveling in the plight of ' !
the chamois. The guide's hand was at
once lirni and gentle, his s.ride bold, I
yet easy, llis rakish hat, with its aggressive
red feather, towered a full 1
head above Beverly's Parisian violets.
"Have you no homo at all?no house i
in which to sleepV" Beverly asked. i
"I live In ii castle of air," said he, <
waving his hand gracefully. "I sleep <
in the house of my fathers." i <
"You poor fellow," cried Beverly
pityingly. He laughed and absently
patted the hilt of his sword. ' 1
She heard the men behind them turn- s
lncr the couch into the glen through <
Which they waiked carefully. Her feet 1
fell upon a soft, grassy sward, an I the
clatter of stones was now no longer i
heard. They were among the shad- i i
owy trees, gaunt trunks of enormous '
sir.e looming up in the light of the Ian- i
terns. I'ncousclously her thoughts '
went over to the forest of Anion and i
the woodland home of Rosalind, as she : '
had imagined it to be. Soon there
came to her ears the swish of waters, ?
as of some turbulent river hurry lug :
by. Instinctively she drew back, and
hot eyes, were set with alarm upon the
black wall of night ahead. Yetive had
spoken more than once of this wilderness.
Many an unlucky traveler had
been lost forever In its fastnesses. |
ii is iiit.* river, your iiiguucss. iueie ,
is no danger. I will not load yon into |
it," lit* said, a Iritlo roughly. "We are j
low in the valley, and there are .
marshes yonder when the river is in ,
Its natural bed. The Hoods have cover- j
ed the low grounds, and there is a tor- ,
rent coining down from the lulls. Hero |
we are, your highness. This is the Inn j
of the Hawk and Raven." ,
lie bowed and pointed with his hat
to the smoldering lire n short distance j
ahead. They had turned a bond in the ,
overhanging clitT and were very close f
to the retreat before she saw the glow.
The lire was ill the open air and directly
in front of a deep cleft in the
rocky background. Judging by the
sound tho river could not be,more than ;
2uo feet away. Men came up with I
lanterns and others piled brush upon
the lire. In a very abort time the glen
was weirdly illuminated by the ilanc- |
Ing flames. From her seat on tho huge
log Beverly was thus enabled to survey
a portion of her surroundings, The
overhanging ledge of rock formed a ' |
wide, deep canopy, underneath which
was perfect shelter. Tho lloor seemed
to be rich, grassless loam, and bore and

i lie very loneliness was so appalling
that lloverly's poor little heart was in
n quiver of dread. Aunt Fanny, who
sat m ar by. hatl not spoken since leaving
the coach, hut her eyes were expressively
active.
The tall leader stood near the lire
conversing with half a dozen of his followers.
Miss Calhoun's eyes finally
rested upon this central figure in the
strange picture. lie was attired In a
ilark gray uniform that reminded her
oddly of the dragoon choruses in the
conne operas at home. The garments,
while torn and soiled, were well lilting,
llis shoulders were broad and square,
liis hips narrow, his legs long and
straight. There was an air of iiupuient
grace about him that went well
with his life and profession.
Surely her< was a careless free lance
upon whom life weighed lightiy, while
loath "stood afar off" and despaired.
The light of the lire brought his gleamliur

was off. Black ami thick was his liair,
rumpled and apparently uneared for.
file face was lean, smooth and strong,
with a devil may-care curve at the corners
of the mouth. Beverly found herself
lamenting the fact that such an interesting
face should be marred by an
ugly black patch, covering she knew
not what manner of defect. As for the
rest of them, they were a grim com[>any.
Some were young and beardless,
others were old and grizzly, but a?.
tvere active, alert and strong. The
leader appeared to be the only one in
the party who could speak and understand
the English language. As Bev?rly
sat and watched his virile, mocking
face and studied Ins graceful movements
she found herself wondering
iow an ignorant, homeless wanderer
11 the hills could be so poetic and so
cultured ns this fellow seemed to be.
Three or four men, who were unmistakably
of a lower order than their
loinpaiiions, set about pit-paring a sap
Other* unhitched tlio tired horses
r.id led them off toward the river. Two
lushing young fellows carried the seat
tmshious under the rocky canopy and
constructed an elaborate couch for the
"princess." The chief, with his own
hands, soon began the construction of
i small chamber in this particular corner
of the cave near the opening. The
walls of the chamber were formed of
Carriage robes and blankets, cloaks and ^
oak branches.
"The guest chamber, your highness."
lie said, approaching her with a smile
at the conclusion of ids work.
"It has been most Interesting to
watch vnii," she said, risintr
"And it has been a delight to interest
you," he responded. "You will llnd
seclusion there, an i you need see none
of us until it pleases you."
She looked hint fairly in the eye for a
moment and then Impulsively extended
her hand, lie clasped It warmly, but
not without soute bhow of surprise.
