looking directly at her through all that
shadowy distance. She was conscious
oi a strange glow m ner cueoks and a
quickening of the blood as she pulled
the folds of her gown across her hare
throat.
"Not the moon, nor the stars, nor the
light in St. Valentine's, hut the black
thing away olY there on the earth,"
said a soft voice behind her. and Beverly
started as if the supernatural had
approached her. She turned to face
the prhicess, who stood almost at her
side.
"Votive! How did you get here?"
"That is what you are looking at.
dear." went on Votive as if completing
her charge. "Why are you not in bed?"
"And you? I thought you were sound
asleep long ago." murmured Beverly,
abominating the guilty feeling that
came over her. The princess threw
her arm about Beverly's shoulder.
"I have been watching you for half
an hour," she said gently. "Can't two
look at the moon and stars as well as
one? Isn't it my grim old castle? Lot
us sit hero together, dear, and dream
awhile."
"You dear Votive," and Beverly drew
her down lieside her on the cushions.
"But listen. I want you to get something
out of your head. I was not
looking at anything in particular."
"Beverly, I believe you were thinking
of Baldos," said the other, her lingers
straying fondly across the girl's
soft hair.
"Ridiculous!"' said Beverly, conscious
for tin? first time that he was seldom
out of her thoughts. The realization
came like a blow, and her eyes grew
very wide out there in the darkness.
"And you aro troubled on his account.
I know it. dear. You"?
"Well, Yetlve, why shouldn't 1 be

"Baron Dancloss Is liis friend and so
(w Quinnox. They know a man. The
count is different."
"I loathe that old wretch!"
"Hush! lie lias not wronged you in
any way."
'Tint lie 1ms lii'iMi unfair and uionn
to Baldos."
"It is n soldier's lot, my dear."
"But he may be I'rince Dantan or
Frederic or the other one, don't you
know," argued Beverly, clinching her
hands firmly.
"In that event he would 1m; an honorable
soldier, and we have nothing to
fear in him. Neither of them is our
enemy. It is the possibility that he is
not one of them that makes ills presence
here look dangerous."
"I don't want to talk about him,"
said Beverly, but she was disappointed
when the princess obligingly
changed the subject.
Baldos was not surprised, scarcely
more than Interested, when, a day or
two later, he was summoned to appear
before the board of strategy. If any
one had told him, however, that on a
recent night a pair of dreamy gray
eyes had tried to lind his window in
the great black shadow he might have
jumped in amazement and delight.
For at that very hour he was looking
off toward the castle, and his thoughts
were of the girl who drew back Into
the shadow of the pillar.
The Graustark ministry had received
news from the southern frontier. Messengers
came in with the alarming and
significant report that I>uwsbergon
was strengthening her fortifications in
the passes and moving war supplies
northward. It meant that Gabriel and
Ills people ex pec tod a tight and were
preparing for it. Count Ilnlfont hastily
called tli?? ministers together, and
Ixirry and the princess took part in
their deliberations. <Sonera 1 Marians
represented the army, and it was he
who finally asked to have Raldos
brought before the council.
The Iron Count plainly intimated that
tlie now guard was in a position to
transmit valuable information to tlie
enemy. Colonel Quinnox sent for him,
and Raldos was soon standing in the
prcsenee of Votive and her advisers,
lie looked about him with a singular
smile. The one whom he was supposed
to regard as the princess was not in
the eouuell chamber. Lorry opened the
examination at t lie ret pi est of Count
Ilaifont. the premier. Raldos quietly
answered the questions eoiieerning ids
present position, his age, ids term of
enlistment and his interpretations of
the obligations required of him.
"Ask him who he really is." suggesttfwl

"Wo can export but one answer to
that question," said I^orry, "and that
is the one which he chooses to Rive."

"That Is lie number one," observed
Mnrlanx loudly. Every eye was turned
upon I.aldos, but his face did not lose
Its half mocking expression of serenity.
"Proceed with the examination, Mr.
I.orry," said Count llalfont. interpreting
a quick glance from Votive.
"Are you willing to answer any and
all questions we may ask in connection
with your observations since you hecame
a member of the castle guardV"
1 asked Lorry.
"I am."
1 "Did you take especial care to study
the interior of the fortress when you
were there several days ago7"
"I did."
"Have you discussed your observations
with any one since that tinieV"
"I have."
"With whom?"
"With her highness the princess,"
said Halilos without a quiver. There
wus a moment's silence, anil furtive
looks were cast in the direction of Votive,
whose face was a study. Almost
instantaneously the entire body of listeners
understood that he referred to
Beverly Calhoun. Halilos felt that he
had l?eon summoned before the board
at the instigation of his fair protectress.
"And your impressions have gone no
farther?"
"They have not, sir. It was most
confidential."
"Could you accurately reproduce the
plans of the fortress?"
"I think so. It would be very simple."
"Have you studied engineering?"
"Yes."
"And you could scieiitilleally enumerate
the defects in the construction of
the fort?"
"It would not lie very difficult, sir."
' "It has come to our ears that you
consider the fortress weak in several
particulars. Have you so stated at
any time?"
"I told the princess that the fortress
is deplorably weak. In fact, I think
I mentioned that it could lie taken with
ease." lie was not looking at Count
Marlanx. hut he knew that the old
man's eyes were limning. Then he
proceeded to tell the hoard how he
could overcome the fortress, elaborating
on his remarks to Beverly. The
ministers listened In wonder to the
' words of this calm, Indifferent young
man.
' | "Will you oblige us by making a
rough draft of the fort's interior'/" asked
Lorry after a solemn pause. Baldos
took the pap<T and in remarkably
> quick time drew the exact lay of the
fortress. The sketch went the rounds
and apprehensive looks were exchnng- I
ed by the ministers.
"It Is accurate, by Jove." exclaimed
Lorry. "1 doubt if a dweller in the
