"What would all your family and friends say to the eery Idea of our marriage?” “Please do not fence with me. Siegfried." Adelheid implored. lie turned to her. his face stern, “What would Prince Maa say?" be demanded doggedly. Her bare shoulders shrugged slightly. “What does it matter if be is against it?" "Then he Aaa said something?” She smiled faintly. "He said you were Impudent " “He was right," the peeudoSlogfned nodded gloomily. The girl took him ever so gently by the shoulders and looked into bia face. Kieffer clenched hn fists to prevent himself from taking her in his anna. "Are you not behaving like a child. Siegfried?" she asked. “Is it that you feel your origin is more obscure than mine and for that reason you have a silly feeling of Unworthiness’" To her surprise he shook hie head; the face he raised to hen was stamped with a certain pride "No, Adelheid,” he said quietly. "My race is as old as yours." "Who are you then?" she asked vehemently "For I have a right to know, Siegfried Please tell me Have 1 not eome here and stripped myself of pride because 1 love you? Please, please explain your strange . . ." She cut off her plea M Kloffer rose litxily to his feet and stood with his back to the mantelpiece. His face was deathly white, hie •eyes those of a man who had undergone long torture. He did not look at her. "if the gracious Countess would go,” be said stiffly. .Ike shrank back into her chair as though he had slapped her across the fare Her mouth trembled pitifully- For a moment she dosed her eyes and seemed as if she were about tn faint. Then sho rose and. taking her eoat from the 'hair upon whM9 It was lying, went from the room and from the apart•nenl. The closing of the front door was like the ehek of 8 padlock on a Srisoner's fetters and Siegfried lluffer gave a shMdcring sigh, sank into a eha:;, and tniried his face in his hands. o s e 0 Charley Siiggur. dl*a> Mtaino. alias Matthew Be«f. grimly hold the big lorry on the exposed coast road, bearing steadily north Iras than fifty miles south of John o‘GroaU.
