Bast Prussia. This glsM-amashing soldiercelobratioa wsa to lead to a tragic aftermath immediately, and to many memorable dramas In the years to come .. right up unto the days when bombers snd U-boats' flare Heaps Flow and other war sones into current headlines But the time now ia December 2«, 1900. CHAPTER TWO When the officers reached their wlarea at the table they stood eerh behind his ehair staring rigidly to hie front until their Colonel should have entered alone, and taken his plate at the bead of the table. "Gentlemen, you may be seated.** said their commanding officer when be had sat down beside the empty place on his right which was invariably laid in memory of Frederick the Great. At the foot of the long table sat Prince Maa von Wallenfels, at that Mme barely twenty-one. Though of towering height, his magnificent figure was In proportion; his blond young beauty was reminiscent of one of the early German gods. Hie fair hair was cropped short Beneath one well marked eyebrow, a rimless monocle was embe lded so aa to esem almost a part of him Bi-, eyes were a froien blue, and Heidelberg had left its mark upon him in the little ngiag scar upon hie right cheek Though the youngest officer present. Prince Mai could trace his ancestry further than any of them . . . so far back in feet, that the family historian had evolved a complicated. god-like pedigree wherein Wallenfels could claim descent from Wotan himself I As the boy laughed with adjaeent fellow officers, his Colon-1 watched approvingly, for the old man knew that young Mas of Wallenfels was hiding a sinister and secret sorrow at this time, but not a trace of it could bo found ia his looks or bearing. The dinner proceeded, the gentlemen showing themselves escellent trenchermen . . accompanied by trines from the Rhine Valley . . . When Under • Officer Sehweiber. himself, had lovingly charged the eeionel's own glass from a bottle of the White H Moor's famous vial age of Steraborg Kabiaeft the colonel glanced down the table and caught Prince Mas’s eye. Immediately the young man rose to his tremendous height, took up his own glass by its long stem, stood rigidly to attention, waited a moment for complete silenee, and ga** the toast: **Dev Kowigf* The other officers rose to their feet as one man Mees-oervants stood rigidly to attention Then, with one voice, the officers roared: •Dor Kemp/ 1 * aad drank to the memory of Frederick the Great. With one gesture, they tossed the glasses over their shoulders to erash in smithereens upon the parduet floor. Once more glasses were chsrged with huuid gold and once more young Mai of Wallenfels gave his fellow officers the toast of Dor Kmsov/ It Is to bo noted that there was no breaking of glasses in honour of their setual emperor. When the debris of the broken eu bad been removed by Scbweis underlings, the officers relaxed. Some at the juniors •VPfl ' ventured to bang on the table with their fleto and call loudly for Bueephaius. Bucephalus was the

reallaed that there was a message for their colonel, but it was do rigewr that no atoM-aervant address him directly. AH messages had to be relayed through the veoond in command. “What is It. UndrrOffirer?" asked lhe major looking up. "If It please the Herr Major." barked Bchweiber standing like a ramrod and staring over the other's head. “There ie a meoeengvr outside. He is from His KxceUency. From Wallenfels." Mai, at the other end of the

table, jerked his head up and Axed the under-officer with an unwinking stare. “If it r.iease the Herr Major," Sehwieher went on. “would he ask the Herr Kommandant for leave for a message to be given to His Highness. Prina Max von Wallenfels?" The major glanced enquiringly at his e-immanding officer, but the latter was locking dnwn the long table to where his most junior subaltern was sitting. The colonel frowned suddenly, then nodded approval to the man on his right. “Under-Officer," said the major, “thg gracious Kommandant given leave." Schweiber clicked his heels, turned smartly to his right, and marchod down the long room to the door He returned a moment later bearing a huge silver salver on one band, halted by Prince Max's chair and the latter took from It a visiting card. The card was engraved with a crown and the one word. Haf/m/e/s. Across it was written, in pencil, "I know his name." For a k>ig moment, the blond boy stared at the card in his hand, his fellow officers watching him covertly. Most of the men In that room knew, or guessed, what was in the wind; but, under the unwritten code, none gave the slightest Indies lien of that knowledge, nor would they have betrayed what they knew under torture.
