" So hegan those wondrous days of adventure which saw the throne of Uuritania occupied hy an Klphherg with all the traces of the stock, though not "of the Mood." "The play actor," Rupert of Hentzau

called him, when he cur.ie to know

the late king had left another ton. the secret, hut "as good an Klph-

1 y a second and morganatic marriage, Hlack Michael, Duke of Strelsiu and Ixrd of Zenda. Though Michael hore none of the marks of tho Klphhergs, he had heen hr. father's favorite, and he cast a longing eye on the throne; all the cut-throats and blackguards of Uuritania seconded hi. wish, for Michael was a man after their own hearts. Curious that young Rudolf Uassendyll should le moved by an idle curiosity to witness the coronation of Rudolf of Ruritania; still more curious that lie, too. ould hear the familiar nose, the same red hair. So thought Col. Sapt. aide to tho king, and Iritz von Tarlenheim. his close friend, as they came upon the younf, Englishman in the forest of Zenda. making his way afoot to Strebbau. So. too, thought the king when he appeared a moment later. Rut scandals of the rast can no more, he concealed in Ruritania than in I-mgland. As yovng Rassendyll later told the tale, first the king frowned, "then gradually the corners of his mouth began to twitch, his nose came down (ns mine does when I laugh), his eyes twinkled, and. behold, he burst into thv merriest fit of irrepressible laughter. which rang through the woods and proclaimed him a Jovial soul. " 'Well met. cousin!' he cried. Gepping up to me. clapping me on the back, and laughing still. 'You must forgive me if I was taken aback. A man doesn't expect to ee double at this time of day, ch. Prltz? " I muft pmy pardon, sire, for ny presumption." said T. 'I trust it .vill not forfeit your Majesty's Tavor.' " 'Ry heaven! you'll always en;oy the king's countenance,' he aughed. 'whether I like it or not! " All the Rood fellowship in the .vorld, however, could not permit royal scandals of the past to be -aked up at a coronation. Rudolf Rasscndyll must not show his face it this moment in the capital of :tudotf of Ruritania. "Rut by thunler." cried the kinpr. "you shan't eave Uuritania today. For you shall dine with me tonight, happen vhat will afterward." That was Just th trouble, "hapjen what will afterward." One vMtle led to another. until they vere all as full of wine as they had my riht to be. At last the kin,' et down his plass and leaned back n the chair. ""I have drunk enouph. said he. "Tar be it from nie to contradict he king.' said I. Indeed, his renark was most absolutely true so nr as it w ent." Rut still the lo e hat he bears his brother. Could he king reiuso? He could not. Vas the wine drugged? The mornng answered yes. "'If he's not crowned toda.' ried Sapt. 'I'll lay a crown he's icver crowned.' " 'Ry heavens, why?' ' 'TNe wholf nation s there to nect him; half the army aye. and !ack Michael at the head shall -e send word that the king's .runk?' ""That he'5 il!.' said I. in correclon. "'111!' echoed Sapt. with a scornii 1 lauih. "They k'.nw his illness 00 well. He's t een ill before! As man prows old he believes in "ate. Fate sent you here. Fate ends you now to Streisau. You'll o?' 'Yes. Ml go.' said I. and I turni my ryes on the prostrate t':cure 1 the king. " 'Tonicht.' Sapt went on in a a.-fy whisper. " are to in he palace. The moment they ta.vm us you an J I wii m"m' -

berg as ever sat upon it," declared Sapt at the end. The wild rule to Strelsau, with Sapt instructing the English Rudolf most minutely in past life, his family, his tastes, pursuits, weaknesses, friends, companions. and servants as Ruritania knew them the etiquette of the court, what would be expected at the coronation and above all of the Princess Flavia. "God save the king'" cried the people after the coronation had been safely managed. "God save 'em both!" whispered Sapt as his mouth wrinkled Into a smile. Rut If things went well at Strelsau with Rudolf Ra-ssendyll, now crowned as Rudolf the Fifth of Ruritania and the accepted lover of the princess Flavia, Fortune did not smile on the other Rudolf at Zenda. For Plack Michael had had word from there that cleared for him the mystery of the coronation. Riding as fast a horses could lay feet to the pround, he seized poor Rudolf of Ruritania and held him prisoner. Rut then ensued a pretty pass. "Aye, but he can't speak." roared Sapt in grim triumph. "We've got him. How can he denounce you

without denouncing himself? 'This is not the king, because we have kidnaped the king and murdered his servant.' Can he say that? Hang me if Michael won't expose himself, if he tries to expose you." Rut the most dithcult situation for a loyal pentleman and that was Rudolf Rassendyll arose from the Princess Flavia. "I had to keep the princess devoted to me and t! indifferent to me; I had to show affection for her end not feel it. I had to make love for another; nnd that to a girl who princess or no princess was tho most beautiful I had ever seen. How I succeeded in carrying out my program will appear hereafter." How they fell in love, he with her and she with tym. is part of the story. And how, forgetting self, he rescued the king, and robbed himself of love and throne and almost life. When he had fallen sorely wounded. "Fritz." he called, "is the king still alive?" "Aye, friend dear friend;" said he, tender as a woman, "thanks to the most gallant gentleman that lives, the king is alive!" All's well that ends well. Rut of the Princess Flavia? "If I can never hold sweet converse again with her. or look upon her face, or know from her her love, why, then, this side the grave, I will live as becomes the man she loves; and for the other side I must pray a dreamless sleep."

ecord caiam

Just beamse people are not familiar with them, many records which possess real musical beauty remain rather obscurely hidden within the pages of the Victor Record catalog. It is to be expected that the music which is familiar should be generally selected by record purchasers. The "great masterpieces" will ever retain their hold upon the affections of musiolovers. But there are many other numbers also distinguished by musical merit as well as by age with which the public is all too little acquainted. Music that once heard will forever charm you with its beauty. Browse again through the pages of your Victor Record catalog widi these less-familiar selections in mind. Mark any which may appeal to you. Or drop in at your Victor dealer's and ask him to play some of the "not so well known" though beautiful numbers. We feel sure you will be rewarded by some real gems of music and enter tainment. Victor Talking Machine Co., Camden, N J ImfKJrtant Notice.
