U Beverly o * fjjGraustar "Wore 1 dying I should refuse to be sealed while your highness stands," said he simply. Ills shoulders seemed to square themselves Involuntarily, and Ids left hand twitched ns though accustomed to the habit of touching a sword.hilt. Beverly sat down instantly. "With his usual easy grace he took a chair near by. They were alone in the antechamber. -ifivou though you wore on your Inst Jogs?" she murmured, anil thru wandered how she could have anything so inane. Somehow si.7 was beginning to fear that lie was not the or- I dlnnry jierson she had judged him to 1m\ "You are to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow," she added I liastHy. "Tomorrow?" he cried, bis eyes light- ] ing with Joy. "I may go then?" "I have deelded to take you to Edelweiss with me." she said, very much as if that were all there was to it. He , ?tnred at her for a full minute as though doubting Ills ears. "No!" he said at last, bis Jaws settling, his eyes glistening. It was a terrible setback for Beverly's condolence. "Your highness forgets that 1 Siave your promise of absolute free dom." "But you are to lie free," she protest ed. "Yon have nothing to fear. It Is not compulsory, you know. You don't "have to go unless you really want to. But my heart Is set on having you In? in the castle guard." His hitter, mock>5ng laugh surprised and wounded her, which he was quick to see, for his \ ? t-uuirmou was immediate. "Pnruon. your highness. I am a TUfle, ungrateful wretch. anil I deserve ! punishment Instead of reward. The proposal was so astounding that 1 forgot myself completely." he said. Whereupon, catching him In this con- j *rite mood, she begun a determined as- | snult against his resolution. Tor an liour she dcvotod her whole heart and ^soul to the task of overcoming his ; "prejudices, fears and objections, meet- I in; bis protestations firmly and logic- > silly, unconscious of the fact that her ! very enthusiasm was betraying her to liini. The first signs of weakening In- | spired her afresh and at last she was j -riding-, over him roughshod, a happy "victor. She made promises that Yetlve -herself could not have made; she ofTer"v. -ed Inducements that never could be Carried out, although In her zeal she ?Hil not know It to be so; she paluted ?uc4l-pictures of ease, comfort and pleasure that he wondered why royal- | ty did not exchange places with Its j , servnuts. In the end, overcome by the i | spirit of adventure and a desire to t>o ! , near bee, he agreed to enter the service tor six months, at the expiration of xvblch time he was to be released from , nil obligations If he so desired. "But my friends In the pass, your lilghncss," he said In surrendering, ?wbat Is to become of them? They are j , Arnltlnff for ino Ollt thorn In thn m-llilor. riess. I tin iot base enough to desert ' them," "iMn't you pet word to them?" she asked eagerly. "Let them come into the city too. We will provide for the j jK?or fellows. l>cl!eve mo." "That. at least, is impossible, your highness." he said, shaking his bead t | *?adly. "You will have to slay them before you can bring thorn within the elty gates. My only hope is that Kranz *uay t?e here tonight. IIo has permission to en tor. and 1 am expecting him - today or tomorrow." I "You can send word to them that you are sound and safe, and you can tell them that Craustark soldiers shall t?e instructed to pay no attention to them whatever. They shall not he distnrlHHl." lie laughed outright at her enthusiasm. Many times during her eager conversation with Italdos slie bad almost betrayed the fact that she was not the princess. Home of her expressions wore distinctly unregal. and some of her slips were hopeless as she viewed them in retrospect. "What am I? Only the humble goat buntcr. bunted to death and eager for a short respite. I)o with me as you &ike. your highness. You shall he my l>rl?ees3 and sovereign for six months at least," be said, sighing. "Perhaps it Is for the l?est." "You are the strangest man I've ever h seen," she remarked, puzzled beyond f expression. That night Prauz appeared nt the hospital and was left alone with It a I ?1oa ?or an hour or more. What passed 1 between them uo outsider kuew, though there wi-ifl ter.ro In the eyes of | Loth at the parting. Rut Franz did not start for the pass that night, as they bad expected. Strange ifews had roue to the ears of the faithful old follower, nnd he hung about (lanlook until morning came, eager to catch the ear of his leader before it was too late. The coach was drawn up In front of 11 the hospital at S o'clock. Reverly trinmphnnt in command. Raldos came t'ovji the steps slowly, carefully, favoring the newly healed ligaments in his legs. She smiled cheerily at him, ainil he swung his rakish hat low. 'There was no sign of the black patch. Anddeniy he nturted and peered intently Into the little knot of people near the conch. A look of anxiety * crossed his face. Front the crowd advanced a grizzled old beggar, wlio txddlv extended his hand. Baldos j f :?'& ;? B* s;s"I GEORGE BARR W M M'cutcheon. iij K $gjj -a?a" M V ' / ." ,'w : '.'. V.'.'.-l grasped the proffered hand and then stepped into the coneh. No one saw the hit of white paper that passed from Franz's palm into the possession of Ihildos. Then the eoaieli wais oil for Edelweiss, the people of tianlook enjoying the unusual speetaele of a mysterious and apparently undistinguished stranger sitting in luxurious ease heside a fiiir lady in the royal eoaeh of Graustark. CHATTER XII. mT was a drowsy day, and, besides, Baldos was not in a eonnnunleatlve frame of mind. Beverly put forth her best efforts during the forenoon, but after the basket luncheon had been disposed of in the shade ait the roadside she was content to irivn nt> tlm ?imiri?in m?.i render to the soothing importunities of the coach as It bo\Vled along. She dozed peacefully, conscious to the last that ho was a most ungracious creature and more worthy of resentment than of benefaction. Bnldos was not intentionally disagreeable; he was morose and unhappy because lie could not help it. Was he not leaving his friends to wander alone in the wilderness while he drifted weakly Into the comforts and pleasures of an enviable service? Ills heart was not In full sympathy with the present turn of affairs, and he eouhl not deny that a selfish motive was responsible for his action. He had the all too human eagerness to serve beauty; the blood and tire of youth were strong In this wayward nobleman of the hills. Lying back in the seat, he pensively studied the face of the sleeping girl whoso dark brown head was pillowed against the corner cushions of the coach. Her hat had been removed for the sake of comfort. The dark lashes fell like a soft curtain over her eyes, obscuring the merry gray that had overcome Ills apprehensions. Her breathing was deep -and regular and peaceful. One little gloved hand rested carelessly In her lap, the other upon her breast near the delicate throat. The heart of Baldos was troubled. The picture he looked upon was entrancing. uplifting; he rose from the lowly state in which she had found him to the position of admirer in secret to a princess, real or assumed. He found himself again wondering If she WOl'O ron Il\' Vofl VA nn<l tvUK ? In Ills heart ho was envying Greufall Lorry. tlio lord and master of this exquisite creature, envying with all the helplessness of one whose hope Is blasted at birth. The note which had been surreptitiously passed to him In (ianlook lay crumpled and forgotten inside his coat pocket, where he had dropped It the moment It had come into his possession, supposing that the message contained information which hud been forgotten by Franz nnd was by no means of a nature to demand Immediate attention. Had he read It at once his suspicions would have been confirmed, and It Is l.arely possible that he would have refused to enter the city. Late In the afternoon the walls of Edelweiss were sighted. For the first time he looked upon the distant housetops of the principal city of (.raustark. Up In the clouds, on the summit of the mountain peak overlooking the city, stood the famed monastery of St. Valentine. Stretching up the gradual Incline were the homes of citizens, accessible only by footpaths nnd donkey roads. Heverly was awake nnd Impatient to reach the Journey's end. He had proved a most disappointing com puuioii, pome, nut witu n Darning indifference that Irritated her considerably. There was a set expression of defiance In his strong. clean cut face, the look of a soldier advancing to meet n powerful foe. "I do hope he'll not always act this way," she was complaining In her thoughts. "He was so charmingly Impudent out In the hills, so dellclously human. Now he Is like a clam. Yetive will think I am such a fool If he doesn't live up to the reputation I've given him!" "Here are the gates," he said, half to himself. "What Is there In store for me beyond those walls?" "Oh. I wish you wouldn't he so dismal!" she cried In despair. "It seems Just llko a funeral." "A thousand apologies, your highness." ho murmured, with a sudden lightness of speech and manner. "Henceforth I shall l>e a most amiable Jester to please you." Beverly and the faithful Aunt Fanny were driven to the castle, where the former bade farewell to her now irnitri.# until the following morning, when he was to nppenr l>efore her for personal Instructions. Colonel Qulnnox escorted him to the barracks of the guard, where he was to shnre n room with youjg Haddan, a corporal In the service. [to re continued.] A Sorlonn Breach. Intimate Friend ?
