He was nov the clean, immaculate gentle man Instead of the wretchei vagabond of the hills. Even Beverlj was surprised at the change in him His erstwhile sad and melancholy fact was limited and bright with happiness. The kiss lie bestowed upon the delighted Cuudace was tender in the extreinci Then, putting her aside, lie strode ove; and gallantly kissed the hand of Graustark's princess, beaming ail ecstatic smile upon the merry Beverly an i iKiant later. "Welcome, Prince Hnntnn." saiu Yetlve. "A thousand times welcome." "All (!ra list ark is your throne, most glorious Yetlve. That is why I have asked to be presented here and not in the royal hall below." said Itavone. "You will wait here with us. then, to bear the good news l'roin our warden," said the princess. "Send the courier to ine," she commanded. "Such sweet news should be received in the place which is dearest to me in all Graustark." The ministers and the lords and ladies of the castle were assembled in the room when Baron Pangloss appeared with the courier from the prison. Count Marlanx was missing, lie was on his way to the fortress, a crushed, furious, impotent old man. In his quarters he was to sit and wait for the blow that he knew could not br averted. In fear and despair, hiding , liis pain and his shame, he was rack ing his brain for means to lessen tiic force of that blow. lie could withdraw tmo enarges against Rahlos. hut 1k> coulil not soften the words tie had said nnd written of Beverly Calhoun.

"Your highness," said Lorry, "I have sent instructions to Colonel Braze. requiring him to take a large force of men into the pass to guard the prison. Gabriel shall not escape again, though nil Dawsbcrgeii comes after him." "You have but little to fear from Dawsbergen," said Itavone, who was seated near the princess, Candace at his side. "Messages have been brought to me from the leading nobles of Dawsbergen assu-lng me that the populace is secretly eager for the old reign to \ ? resumed. Only the desperate fear of Gabriel and a few of his bloody but loyal advisers holds them in check. Believe me, Dawsbergen's efforts to release Gabriel will be perfunctory and half hearted in the extreme. lie ruled like a madman. It was his in t tense, implacable desire to kill his brother that led to his undoing. Will it be stnincc vonr IiIitIiiiosm If TTnu-s bergon welcomes the return of Dnntan in liis steadV" "Tin* story! The story of his capture! Toll me the story." came eagerly from those assembled. Itnvonc leaned back languidly, his face tired anil drawn onee more, as if the mere recalling of the hardships past was hard t bear. "First, your highness, may I advise you and your cabinet to send another ultimatum to the people of Pawsber jren?" he asked. "This time say hi ;?]?. 1 l?!

"The Puke of Mat/,, I am reliably in formed, some day Is to be father-in-law to Pawsbergen," smilingly said Yetlve "I shall not wonder if he responds most favorably to an ultimatum."
