Lorry's cell was as comfortable as a cell uld be made through the efforts of a adly jailer and a yrarathetic chief of i e. It was not located in the dunpeon, but Zh in the tower, a little rock-bound room, th a single barred window far above the or. There was a bed of Iron uion which d been placed a clean mattress, and thert is a little chair. The next day after his rest a comfortable arm chair replaced e latter; a. table, a. lamp, somo books wer, a bottle of wine and some fruit und their way to his lonely apartmcntloever may have sent. them. Harry Anlh was admitted to the cell during the temoon- He promptly and truthfully dcd all Interest in the donations, but iiltd wisely. le reported that most of the Axphain ntinsent was ttill in town; a portion har' rritd home, carrying the news to the old Ince, ln?tructed by the aggressive Mizrox fetch him forthwith to Edelweiss, where j ausust pretence was neces-ary before e C6th. Thoso who remained in the Grausrk capital were quiet but still in a reatenlng raood- Tho princes?, fo Harry Tormcd the prisoner, sent sincere oxpres ms of sympathy and the hope that all uld end well with him. Count Halfont, e countess, Gaspon and many others ,d asked to be remembered. The prisoner liled wearily and promised that they ould not be forgotten in a week which is as far as he expected his memory to tend. Lite in the evening, as he was lying on 3 bed, staring at the shadowy ceiling and izzling his brain with most oppres5ive unrtalntles, the rattle of keys in the lock inounced the approach of visitors. The or swung open and through the grate he w Dangloss and Quinnox. The latter ?re a long military rain coat and had Juat rne in from a drenching downpour. Loro reverie had been to deep that he had t heard the thunder nor the howling of e winds. Springing to his feet he adinced quickly to the grated door. "Captain Quinnox brings a private mesgc from the princess," said the chief, tho ords scarcely more than whispered. It as plain that the message was important id of a secret nature. Quinnox looked ut id down the corridor and stairway beforo trusting the tiny note through the bars. was grasped eagerly and trembling flnrs broke the seal. Uendlng near the light read the lines, his vision blurred, his jart throbbing so fiercely that the blood remed to be drowning out other sounds r all time to come. In the dim corridor x)od the two men. watching him witi. ited breath and guilty, quaking nerves. "Oh!" gasped Lorry, kissing the missive isanely as his greedy eyes careened irough the last line. Thero was no signa ire, but In every word he saw her face, It the touch of her dear hand, heard he mid heart beating for him for him alone, apture thrilled him from head to foot, the elirious rapture of love. He could not peak, to overpowering was tlw joy, the jrprise, the awakening. Obvyl" whimpered Quinnox, his fac glow with pleasure, his finger quivering 8 he pointed eommandingly toward the ittt-r. "Obey what.- usked Lorry, dully. "The last line!" He hastily reread the 1 t line and then elibt ratcly held the precious missive over he lamp until it ignited. He would hav iven all he possessed to have preserved t. But the last line commanded: "Durn his at once and in the presence of the carer." "There!" he said, regretfully, a.s hrumpled the charred remnants bt-tweei lis linger. and turned to the silent watehrs. "Her crime c,oes up in tmoke," muttered dangloss, t-entcntioui-Iy. "The princess commits no crime." reorted Quinnox, angrily, "when she truu crur honest men." "Where is lw':" whispered the prisoner, vith thrumming tars. "Where all guud women should ho at j'clock in bed." replied. Danslos, shortly. 'Hut will you obey her command?" "S) she command me to escape:" j-aid Lorry, frnlli::. -I dare r.ot dlfobey my s0vTeign. 1 suppose." "We oby hor becau.-e we love her," taid '.hi captain e'f th guard. "And for that reason.

The princess can avert disaster by givintc her hand in marriage to Prince Lorenz or Prince Gabriel, of adjoining provinces. Each id coarse and dissipated. The princess conducts Ixrry through the castle, finally reaching the throne rom. where an areient love scen ensues, and Lorry barely escapes hooting by one of h r zealous attendants. This erljede results in the speedy departure of both Americans from the eastle. Lorry and Anguish recognize Gabriel's voice a3 that cf the conspirator called llichnel. To .ave Graustark the j ilncess axre-a to mirry Prince Iyirenz. At an Lde-I weiss rale Lorry hears I'rince Lorenz rropoinr a toast to the princess. Enraged, the American strikes him to the floor with a blow in the face. Phince Gabriel witnesses the scene. Iory accepts Lorenz'. challenge to a duel to be Xouht the next mornir.i?. The same night the prince is murdered in his bed. Lorry is charged with the crime und Anguish, detained as a witwith the crime, imprisoned In the tower, and Anguish detained as a witness. The princess ia lorced to dgn a decree for the arrest and detention for trial. but to follow the instructions I should say. the commands of tho writer." "And be free! Tell her that I worship her for this. Tell her that every drop of blood In my body belongs to her. She offers me freedom, but makes me her slave for life. Yes, I fdiall be ready. If I do not see yo again, good friend?, remember that I love you because you love her and because she loves you enough to intrust a most dan gerous secret to your keeping, the commission of an act that may mean the downfall of your nation." He shook hands with them fervently. "It cannot be that, sir. It may cost the lives of three of her subjects, but no mar pave yourself can involve the princess or the crown. They may kill us, but they cannot force us to betray her. I trust you will be as loyal to the good girl who wears : crown, not upon her heart." said Danglo.ss, earnestly. "I have said my life is hers, gentlemen.' said Lorry, simply. "God, if I could but throw myself at her feet! I must see her before I go. I will not go without tellini her what is in my heart!" he added, passionately. "You mut obey the commands implicitly, on your word of honor, or the transaction ends now." said Quinnox, firmly. "This escape means, then, that I am not to see her again," he said, his voice chok ing with emotion. "Her instructions arc that you are to go to-night, at once," said Dangloss, and the black-eyed soldier nodded confirmation. The prisoner paced the floor of his Veil, his mind a jumble of conflicting emotions. His clenched hands, twitching lips and half-closed eyes betrayed the battle that was inflicting him with its carnage. Suddenly he darted to the door, crying: "Then I refuse to obey! Tell her that if she permits me to leave this hole I shall be at her feet before another night has passed. Say to her that I refuse to go from Graustark until I have seen her and talked with her. You, Quinnox, go to her now and tell her this, and say to her also that there is something she must hear from my own lips. Then I will leave Gratistark and not till then, even though death be the alternative." The two men stared at him in amazement and consternation. "You will not escape?" gasped Quinnox. "I will not be dragged away without seeing her," he answered, resolutely, throwin himself on the bed. "Damned young a?s!" growled Dangloss. The soldier's teeth grated. A moment late the slab door closed softly, a key rattled, and his visitors were gone messengers bearing to him the most positive proof of devotion that man could exact. What hat she offered to do for his sake? She had planned his escape, had sanctioned the commission of an unparalleled outrage against the laws of her land he. of a women, a princess! I?ut she also had sought to banish him from the shrine at which his very soul worshiped, a fate more cruel and unendurable than the cne she would have saved him from. He looked at his hands and saw the black stains from the eharred letter, last evi dence of the crime against the state. A tender light came to his eyes, a great lump struggled to his throat, and he kissed th sooty spots, murmuring her name again ami again. How lonely he was! how cold and cheerless his cage! For the first tim he began to appreciate the real seriousness of his position. Up to this time he had regarded it optimistically, confident of vindication and acquittal. His only obejetion to imprisonment grew out of annoyance and the mere deprivation of liberty. It had not entered his head that he was actual) facing death at close range. Of course, it had been plain to him that the charges were serious, and that he was awkwardl. situated, but the true enormity of his peril did not dawn upon him until freedom wa: offered in such a remarkable manner. He grew cold und shuddered instinctively a: he realized that his position was so critical that the princess had deemed it necessar to resort to strategic measures in order to save him from impending doom. Starting to his feet he paced the floor, nervousne? turning to dread, dread to terror. Ibi pounded on the door and cried aloud. Oh, if he could but bring back those kindl. messengers. Exhausted, torn by conflicting emotions, he at la.-t dropped to the bed and buried his face in his arm-, neatly mad with ti sudden solitude of despair. He retailed her dtar letter the tender, helping hand that had been ttrt-tched out to lift him froi the depths into which he was finking. She had written he could see the word? plainlythat Ins danger was great; she eou nut endure lite until she knew him to be safely outside the bounds of Grautark. Hi.s life was dear to her. und sdie would preserve it by dishonoring her tru.-t. The: rdie had unfolded he r plan of escvpe. sjointedly. guiltily, hopelcs.-iy. In one place near the end. she wrote: "You have dot. much more for me than you know, s., I pray that Hod may be good enough to let m rtpay you so far as it lies within my powtr to do so." in another place she said: "You may trut ray accomplices, for they love me. too." An admission uneonse ior.s 1. triad'', that word "too." Init she was offering him freedom only to send him away without granting one nit ment of j.v in htr pre-m e. After all, with

death staring him In the face, the praetically convicted murderer of a prince, h knew he could not have gone without seeing her. Hf- had been ungrateful, perhaps but the message he had sent to her was from nis heart, and something told him that it would give Iht pleasure. A key turned suddenly in the lock, and his heart bounded with th? hope that it might be some one with her surrender in response to his ultimatum. He sat upright and rubbtd his swollen eyes. The doo swung open, and a tall prison guard peered in upon him, a sharp-eyed, low-browed fellow in rain coat and helmet. His lantern's single unkind eye was turned menacingl: toward the be,. "What do you want?" demanded the prison' r, irritably. Instead of answering, the guard procecdet' to unlock the second or grated door, stepping inside the cell a moment later. Smothering an exclamation. Lorry jerked out his watch and then sprang to his feet, intens ly excited. It was just 12 o'clock, and h remembered now that she had said a guard would come to him at that hour. Was this the man? Was the plan to be carried out? The two men stood staring at each other for a momtnt or two, one in the agony of doubt and suspense, the other quizzically. A smile flitted over the face of the guard; he calmly advanced to the tabic, putting down his lantern. Then he dre-w off his rain coat and helmet and placed in the other' hand a gray envelope. Lorry reeled and would have fallen but for the wall against which he staggered. A note from her was in his hand. He tore open the envelope and drew forth the letter. As he read he grew strangely calm and contented; a bllssfu repose rushed in to supplant the racking unrest of a moment before. The shadows fled and life's light was burning brightly once more. She had written: "I entreat you to follow instructions and go to-night. You say you will not leave Graustark until you have seen me. How rash you are to refuse liberty and life fo such a trifle. Put why, I ask, am I offerin: you this chance to escape? Is it because I do not hope to see you again? Is it not enough that I am begging, imploring you to go? I can say no more." He folded the brief note, written In agitation, and, after kissing it, proceeded to place it in his pocket, determined to kee it to the last hour of his life. Glancing up at a sound from the guard, he found himself looking into the muzzle of a revolver. A deep scowl overspread the face of the man as he pointed to the letter and then to the lamp. There was no mistaking his meaning. Lorry reluctantly held the note over the flame and saw it crumble away as had its predecersor. There was to be no proof of her complicity left behind. H knew it would be folly to offer a bribe to the loyal guard. After this very significant act the guard's face cleareel. and he deposited his big revolver on the table. Stepping to the cell' entrance he listened intently, then softl; closed the heavy Iron doors. Without a word he began to strip off his uniform Lorry watching him as if fascinated. The fellow looked up impatiently and motioned for him to be quick, taking it for granted that the prisoner understood his part of the transaction. Awakened by this shar; reminder. Lorry nervously began to r move his own clothes. In five minutes his garments were scatterd over the floor and he was attired in the uniform of a guard Not a word had been spoken. The prisoner was the-guard, the guard a pi Isoner. "Are you not afraid this will cost you your life?" asked Lorry, lirst in English then in Gerrnan. The guard merely shook his head. Indicating that he could not understand. He quickly turned to the bed, seized ; sheet and tore it into strips, impatiently thrusting them into the other's hands. The first letter foretold all this, and the prisoner knew what was expected of him. He therefore securely bound the guard's le; and arms. With a grim smile the captive nodded his head toward the revolver, the lantern and the keys. His obliging prisoner secured them, as well as his own persona' effects, and was ready to depart. According to instructions he was to go forth locking tho doors behind him, leaving the man to be discovered the next morning by surprised keepers. It struck him that there was something absurd in this part of the plan. How was this guard to explain hi position with absolutely no sign of a stru gle to bear him out? It was hardly plausible that a big, strong fellow could be so casilj overpowered single-handed; there wa something wretchedly incongruous about the but there came a startling and effective end to all criticism. The guard, bound as he was, suddenl turned and lunged head-foremost against the sharp bedpost. His head struck with a thud, and he rolled to the floor as if dead Uttering an exclamation of horror, Lorr: ran to his side. Blood was gushing from i long gash across his head, and he was already unconscious. Sickened by the brav sacrifice, he picked the man up and placed him on the bed. A hasty examination proved that it was no more than a scalp wound, and that death was too remote to be feared. The guard had done his part nobly, and it was now the prisoner's tur to act as resolutely and unflinching!-. Sorry to leave the poor fellow in what seemed an Inhuman manner, he strode into the cor ridor, closed and locked the doors clumsllj and began the descent of the stairs. He had been instructed to act unhesitatingly, as the slightest show of nervousness would result in discovery. "With tho helmet well down over his face and the cape well up, he steadily, even noisily made his way to the next floor below. There were prisoners on this floor, while he had been the only occupant of the floor above. Straight ahead he went, flashing his lantern here and there, passing down another stairway and into the mail corridor. Here he met a guaiel who had just come in from the outside. The man ad dressed him in the language of the country, and his heart almost stopped beating. How was he to answer? Mumbling sonn thing almost inaudible, he hurried on to the ground floor, trembling with fear lest the man should call to him to halt. He was relieved to find, in the end, that his prog re?s was not to be impeded. In another mo ment he was boldly unlocking the dooi that led to tho visitors' hall. Then cam the door to the warden's office. Here h found three sleepy guards, none of whom paid any attention to him as he passed through and entered Captain Dangloss's private room. The gruff old captain sat at a desk writing. Tho escaping man ha paused as if to speak to him. A shar cough from the captain and a significant jerk of the head told him that there must be no delay, no words. Opening the door 1 stepped out into a storm so tierce and wild that he shuddered uppreheiw ive-ly. "A fitting night!" ho muttered, as he plunged into the driving rain, forcing his way across the courtyard toward the main gate. The little light in the gatekeeper's window was his guide, so. blinded by the torrents, blown by the winds, he soon found himself before the final barrier. Peering through the window he faw th keeper dozing in his: chair. l?y the light fror, within he selected from the bunch of kev: he carried one that had a white string knotted in its ring. This: was the key that was to open the big' gate in case no on challenged him. In any otlur case he wa. to give the countersign. "Dangloss." and trust fortune to pass him through withou question. Luck was with him. ai d. finding tin great lock, he softly Inserted and turned

Fill la this Order Blank and hand It to the the key. The wind blew the heavy gate open violently, and it required all of his strength to keep it from banging against the wall beyond. The most difficult task that he had encountered grew from his efforts to close the gate against the blast. He was. about to give up in despair when a hand was laid on his shoulder and some one hissed in his startled car: "Sh! Not a word!" His legs almost went from under hi: body, so great was the shock and fear. Two strong hands joined his own in the effort to pull the door into position, and he knev at once that they belonged to the man who was to meet him on the corner at the right of the prison wall. He undoubtedly had tired of the delay, and, feeling secure ii the darkness of the storm, had come t meet his charge, the escaping prisoner. Their united efforts brought about the desired result, and together they left the prison behind, striking out against th storm in all its fury. "You are late," called the stranger in his ear. "Not too late, am I?" he cried back, clutching the other's arm. "No, but we must ha?ten." "Captain Quinnox, is it you?" "Have a care! The storm has ears and can hear names." cautioned the other. As rapidly as possible they made their way along the black street, almost a river with its sheet of water. Lorry had lost his bearings, and knew not whither he went trusting to the guidance of his struggling companion. There seemed to be no end to their journey, and he was growing weak beneath the exertion and the excitement. "How far do we go?" he cried, at last. "But a few rods. The carriage is at the next corner." "Where is the carriage to take me?" ho demanded. "I am not at liberty to say." "Am I to see her before I go?" "That is something I cannot answer, sir. My instructions are to place you in the carriage and ride beside the driver until our destination is reached." "Is it the castle?" cried the other joyously. "It is not the castle," was the disappointing answer. At that moment they came upon a great dark hulk and heard the stamping of horses hoofs close at hand. It was so dark they could scarcely discern the shape t the carriage, although they could touch its side with their hands. A soldier stood in the shelter of the vehicle and opened the door for the Amcri"Hurry! Get in!" exclaimed Quinnox. "I wish to know if this 1 liable to get her into trouble." demanded Lorry, pausing with one foot on the step?. "Get in!" commanded the soldier who was holding the door, pushing him forward uneasily. He lloundered Into the carriagt where all was dry and clean.

A moment liter he was inside and the door slammed. The carriage rocked a: Quinnox sw ung up "beside tho driver. "You may as well be comfortable." said Lorry's companion, as he sat rigid at restless.
