They were strolling In the park on the seventh day of her Inquisition. "Have you heard from Paul Bnldos?" she asked, bravely plunging Into deep water. "He Is expected here tomorrow or the nexjt4?lay, Miss Calhoun. 1 am utmost as eager to see him as you are," he replied, with a very pointed smile. "Almost? Well, yes. Fll confess that I am eager to see him. I never knew 1 could long for any one as much as I? Oh, well, there's no use hiding It from you. I couldn't If I tried. I care very much for him. You don't think It sounds silly for me to say such a thing, do you? I've thought a great deal of him ever since the night at the Inn of the Hawk nnd Haven. In my itnagination I have tried to strip you of your princely robes to place them upon lilm, but he 1b only Baldos In spite of j it all.

You lo alone, I believe, have the power to dis- fr charge him before his term expires," said he meaningly. ^ That night Rnldos returned to Edel- I of welss, ahead of the Graustnrk delega- re tion which was coming the next day *1 with representatives from Dawsber- lo gen. lie brought the most glorious a; news from tho frontier. The Duke of di AUUZ S1I1U ILK* lending UlgllllUriCS una SI hoard of Gahrlol's capture, both through \ the Bappo boys and through a few of a1 y ids henchmen who had staggered Into d< camp after the disaster. The news tl threw the Dawsbergen diplomats into tl a deplorable state of uncertainty. Even b the men high in authority, while not hi especially depressed over the fall of , el their sovereign, were in doubt as to ' what would be the next move in their j a series of tragedies. Almost to a man p they regretted the folly which hn<l 0! drawn them into the net with Gabriel. f( Bahlos reported that the Duke of Matz n and a dozen of the most distinguished h men in Dawsbergen were on their way g to Edelweiss to complete arrangements y for pence and to lay their renunciation y of Gabriel before Dantan in a neutral ji court. e The people of Dawsbergen had been r clamoring long for Dantan's restora- 1 tion, and Haldos wmr commissioned tot i say that his return would he the signal for groat rejoicing. lie was closeted f until after midnight with Dantan and " his sister, Lorry and Princess Yetive ' befng tailed in at the end to hear and approve of the manifesto prepared by the Prince of Dawsbergcu. The next morning the word went forth that a great banquet was to be given in the custle that night for Prince Dantan and the approaching noblemen. The prince expected to depart almost immediately thereafter to resume the 1 throne in Serros. Bahlos wan wandering through the : park early in tiie morning. Ilia duties rested lightly upon ills shoulders, but ho was restless and dissatisfied. The longing in his heart urged him to turn his eyes ever and anon toward the balcony and'then to the obstinate looking castle doors. The uniform of a (jrauHtark guard still graced his splendid figure. At last a graceful form w^ seen coming from the castle towartK the cedars. She walked bravely, butr aimlessly. That was plain to be seen.y It wns evident that she was and wus not looking for some one. Bahlos observed with a thrill of delight that a certain red feather stood up defiantly from the hand of her sailor hat. lie liked the way her dark blue walking ' skirt swished In harmony with her lithe, Arm strides. / She was quite near before he advanced from his place among the trees, lie did not expect her to exhibit surprise or confusion, and he was not disappointed. Sho was as cool as a brisk spring morning. He did not offy his hand, bnt, with n fine smile orN*>ntentment, bowed low and with mock servility. "I report for duty, your highness," he said.

Constraint fell upon them suddenly. The hour lmd come for a defl- f nlte understanding, and both were con- 11 quered by Its Importance. For the first ^ time In Ills life lie knew the meaning ^ of diffidence. It came over him as he looked helplessly into ti>? ?" ? vicur, gray, ' earnest eyes. "I love you for wearing ** that red feather." he said simply. d "And I loved you for wearing It," she answered, her voice soft aud thrill- t! lug. He caught Ills breath Joyously.

Seeing the pain U his face, she hnntlty. oven blushingy, said, "It Is so public, dear." nt lie straightened himself with soldier- m y precision, but his voice trembled as 1,1 le tried to spunk calmly In deflnnce to lis eyes. "There Is the grotto?see! It s seclusion Itself. Will you come with n< tie? I must tell you all that is in my w eart. It will burst If I do not." I Slowly they made their way to the > nlry grotto deep In the thicket of roes. It was Yetlve's favorite dreamlg place. Dark and cool and musical ^ ,'ith the rippling of waters. It was an leal retreat. She dropped upon the nn astlc bench that stood against the loss covered wall of bowlders. With so" le gentle reserve of a man who re- 1,1' eres as well as loves, Ruldos stood A'1 hove her. lie waited, and she t Uh 'ood. How niost Impatient vers he wns!

"It Is a deathless ??< ve, unconquerable, unnlternhle. It Is leu my hlood to love forever. Listen to I." e, dear one. I come of a race whose " ve Is hot and enduring.

' Ilis passion carried her resistlesslv tin way as the groat waves sweep tlie ! grt eck of a ship at sea. She was out in , le ocean of love, far from all else I 1 lat was dear to her. far from all bar- to ors save the mysterious one to which to Is passion was piloting her through a winn of emotion. i 4 44I have longed so to hold you in my sel rms, Beverly.

IS For answer she placed her arms J(, ibout his neck and buried her face 0 igainst his shoulder. There were tears j n her gray eyes and there was a sob n her throat. lie held her close to his roast for an eternity, it seemed to >oth, neither giving voice to the song ' heir hearts were singing. There was i 1 10 other world than the fairy grotto. "Sweetheart, I am nsking you to make a great sacrifice," he said at last, | Ills voice hoarse but tender. She looked up Into his face serenely. "Can you (five up the joys, the wealth, the j comforts of that home across the sea ~ to share a lowly cottage with me and ; my love? Wait, dear?do not speak j j until I am through. You must think of i j what votir friends will sav. The love I nnd life I offer you now will not be ; like that which you always have j known. It will be poverty and the dregs, not riches and wiue. It will be"? But she placed her hand upon his j ii|Jh. shaking her head emphatically. ! ,nSe picture he was painting was the same one that she had studied for days and days. Its very shadow was familiar to her, its every unwholesome corner was as plain as day. "The rest of the world may think what it likes, Paul," she said. "It will make no difference to me. I have awakened from my dream. My dream prince is gone, and I find that It's the real man that I love. What would you have me do? Give you up becase you are poor? Or would you have me go up the ladder of fame and prosperity with von. a humble but adoring bur don? I know you, donr. You will not always be poor. They may say what they like.

"You have, already?" ho cried. "Of course. My mind hus been mad up for more tliun a week. I told It b Aunt Fanny last night." "And ?he?" "She almost died, that's nil." said rth< nnhluslilngly. "I was afraid to cabli llie news to fHther. lie might stop mt if he knew It In time. A letter was much smarter." "You dear, dear little sacrifice," he Tied tenderly. "I will give nil my life o maiie you nappy." "I nm a soldier's daughter, and I can >e a soldier's wife. I have tried hard o give you up.

It all went smoothly and airily ntll he asked her when he should go to Washington to claim her as Ills wife, he gave him a startled, puzzled look. "To Wushin'ton?" she murmured, irntng very cold and weak. "You? ou won't have to go to Wasliiu'ton, ear. I'll stay here." "My dear Beverly. I can afford the ip," he laughed. "1 am not an absoite pauper. Besides, It Is right and ist thnt your father should give you i me. it Is the custom of our land." lie was nervous and uncertain. "But?but.
