Colonel Qulnnox brought news from

of royalty slipped from the princess.

had grown .old lu Ae^'eourt.-foiind the
girl and her strnngo servant a source
of wonder and delight.
Sosrie' " 'days "after""ItSVctTVft" ntrtvnl
tliere came to the castle Harry AnI
pulsh and his wife, the vivacious Dapmar.
With them came the year-old
coolnp bat?o who was to overthrow the
heart and head of every bcinp In the
household, rroui princess down. The
tiny Dn^rinar became queen at once,
and no one disputed her rule.
Anguish the painter became Anguish
the strategist and soldier. He planned
with Lorry and the ministry, advancing
some pf jy>e most harebrained pro?1
ccts that ever In
a solemn Conclave. The staid, cautious
mruisters looked upon him with woui
d'-r, but so plausible did he make liis
proposals appear that " they were
forced to consider them seriously. The
old Cotint of Mnrlaux held him in preut
' disdain and did not hesitate to^xpose
his contempt. This did not disturb
Anguish in the least, for he was as
optimlstle as the hunshine. His plan
lor the recaiKuro of Gabriel was ridiculously
improbable, but it was after
wurd seen that had it been attempted
much distress and delay might nctuully
have l?een avoided.
Yetlve and Loverly, with Dagmar
| and the baby, made merry while the
men were In council. Their mornings
wore spent In the shady park sur|
rounding the custlA. their afternoons iu
driving, riding and walking. Ofierj
times the princess was barred from
these simple pleasures by the exigencies
of her position. She was obliged
to grant nucHouces. oliserVd certain cus
Toms or state, attend to tne ennrttlc#
j that en mo directly under her supcrvl'
slou and confer with the nobles on uffa
Ira of wel^t and lmiH>rtauce. Beverly
delighted In the tlfVone room and
I the underground passages. They slgI
nitled more to her than all the rest.
I She was shown the room In which I,ori
ry had foiled the Viennese who once
i tried to abduct Yetlve. The dungeon
where (Jabrlel spent his first days of
I confinement, the tower In which Lorry
had been held a prisoner and the monastery
lit the clouds were all places of
unusual Interest to her.
j Sonto of the people of the city began
to recognize the fair American girl who
was a guest In the castle, and a certain
amount of homage was paid to her.
When she rode or drove In the streets,
with her attendant soldiers, the people
i bowed as deeply and as respectfully
j as they did to the princess herself, and
| Beverly was Just as gvnnd and gracious
as If she had been born with a
I seepter In her hand.
The soft moonlight nights charmed
hef with a sense of rtlpture never
known before. With the castlo brilliantly
Illuminated, the halls and drawing
rooms filled with gay courtiers. *ho
harpists at their posts, the military
hand playing In the parade ground, the
balconies and porches offering their
most Inviting allurements, It is no won,
! der that Beverly was entranced. War
, hud no terrors for her. If she thought
I of It at all It was with the fear that It
mlcrht- fllutnrh (ha tlronm Intn wVilr?lt sho
had fallen. True, there was little or
nothing to distress the most timid In
these first days. The controversy between
the principalities was at a standstill,
although there was not an hour In
which preparations for tho woOst were
neglected. To Beverly Calhoun , it
meaht llttlo when sentiment was laid
aside. To Yetlve and her peQfdo this
probable war wltli Dawsbergrift meant
everything. Ij
Da ngtosa. going back and forth
tweeh E^fwefos ffriflthe ffonptr nofth
of Ganlook, where the best of police
and secret service watched with the
sleepless eyes of the lynx, brought unsettling
news to the ministry. Ajcpbaln
troops were engaged In the annual
i maneuvers Just across the border In
i their own territory. Usually these
were held In the plains near the capl|
tal, and there was a sinister significance
in the fact that this year they
were being carried on In the rough
southern extremity of the principality,
1 within u day's march of the tiraustark
line, fully two months earlier than
| usual. The doughty baron reported
that foot, horse and artillery were engaged
In the drills, and that fully. 8.000
men were massed in the south of Axphain.
The fortifications of Ganlook,

and hjs staff rested nclthpr day
nor night. The army of Gntpstark
was ready. I'nderneath the castle's

battle, the tremor of defiance.

From nil upstairs window in the hospital
the convalescent but unhappy j>atieut
witnessed her approach and arrival.
Ills sore, lonely heart gave a
bound ol' Joy. lor the days had seemed
long since her departure.
He had had time to think during
these days too. Turning over In his
mind all of the details in connection
with their meeting' and their subsequent
intercourse. It began to dawn
upon him that she might not be what
slg? assumed to be. Doubts assailed
hlin, suspicions grew Into amazing
forms of certainty. ..There were times
when he laughed sardonically at himself
for being taken in by this strange
but charming young woman, but
through It all his heart and mind were
being drawn more and more fervently
toward her. More thauonee he called
himself a fool and more than once he
dreamed foolish dreams of iter, princess
or not. Of one thing.he was sure
?he had come to love the adventure
lor the sake of what it promised, and
there was no bitterness beneath his
suspicions.
Arrayed In clean linen and presentable
clothes, pale from Indoor confinement
and fever, hut once more the
straight and strong cavalier of the
hills, he hastened Into hef presence
when the summons came for him to
descend. lie dropped to his knee and
kissed her hand, determined to play
the game notwithstanding his doubts.
As he arose she glanced for a flitting
second Into his dark eyes, and her own
long lashes drooped.
"Your highness!" ho said gratefully.
"How well and strong you look!" she
snid hurriedly. "Some of the tan Is

never been ill. Are you quite recovered
?"
"They sav I am as good as new," he
smilingly pnswered. "A trifle weak
and uncertain in my lower extremities,
but u few days of exercise in the mountains
will overcome all that. Is all well
with you and (Jrnustark? They will
give me no news here, by whose order
I do not know."
"Turn about is fair play, sir. It is a
well established fact that you will give
them no news. Yes, all is well with
me and mine.- Were yon beginning to
think that I had deserted you? It has
boon two \Veoks, hasn't it?"
"Ah, your highness. I realize that you
have had much more Important things
to do than to think of poor liahlos. 1
am cxe?>ediiigly grateful for this sign
of Interest In my welfare. Your visit is
the brightest experience of my life."
