prince pleasantly, though with some
faint, growing sign of constraint 'or

"Don't let ua delay our business for

him short brusquely. "I counted on
your being here with your carriage.
Now for the hunting lodge In the

As be spoke his eyes wets on ths old
man's face, which he hoped to set- fall

"Tea, your majesty,'’ came the
prompt response. “Now for tbs hunt-

The emperor laughod shortly. "Add

Meekness was once more the part

' his hands, palm upward. In a gesture
of generous indulgence for Ida young
sovereign, he denied ldraself the pleas

ECHAPTED &VENTttH
SO FOLD thought It rather more
n than possible that by
the Urns of bis return
to Kras burg the chan-
celler would be as anx
ious to wriggle out of
Ida proposal to visit the prince’s hunt
ing lodge as he had been to have it
accepted fc few hours before.
“He shan’t escape his humlltatloa,
though," the emperor told himself.
“Tie shall go, and be shall beg forgive
ness for his suspicions to sackcloth
«nd ashes. Nothing else can satisfy
im now." *
Thinking thus, Leopold looked sharp
ly from tbe window as his special
slowed Into the central station at
Kranborv along the trade which had
bhen kept clear for Its . arrival. No
other train was due at the moment;
there toes tow persons wen on the
fftafon*. end a figure in a long gray
woaf, wfifc Ms face shadowed by a
•touch hat, was conspicuous.
Tha emperor bad expected to sea that
figure, but vaguely ha wished there
wen not so much briskness and self
-confidence In the set of the massive
. head and shoulders. The young man
believed absolutely lu his love, but he
would have been gratified to detect a
something of depression In tbe ene
my’s air which bo might translate as
h foreknowledge of failure.
"I hope your majesty will forglvq

shut his lips upon the words and walk

The carriage was waiting just out
side the station, and the moment tbe
two men were seated tbe chauffeur
started noiselessly and swiftly.
Both windows were dosed to keep
out the chill of tbe nlght'aMfi but soon
Leopold Impatiently lowered one, for
getting the chancellor's old fashioned
hatred of drafts and stared Into tbe
night. Already they were approach
ing the outskirts of the great town,
and, flying post, the dark warehouses
and factories of the neighborhood, they
sped toward the open country.
The weather, still warm the eveulug
before—that evening of moonlight not
to be forgotten—had turned cold with
morning, and tonight there was a
puu^ent scent of'dying leaves In tho
air. It smote Leopold to the face with
the wind of motion, ond It seemed to
him the essential perfume of sadness.
I ever ugnln would he Inhale that fan-
grance of the falling year without re

questions of Von Breltstcln, yet would

T was a Joger dad la

door of the hunting
lodge and guzed appar
ently without recogni

standing In tbe dark embrasure of the
porch.
“Wo wish to see bis royal highness,
your master,” said the chancellor, tak
ing the Initiative, as he knew the em
peror would wish him to do.
“His royal highness is not at home,

I, too, believe that you won’t miss
your reward," returned the emperor
sharply.
"1 shall have It, I am Bure, not only
In your majesty’s forgiveness, but lu
your thanks."
“I’ll forgive you wheu you’ve naked
my pardon for your suspicions and
wheu you've found Miss Mowbray for

"I have already found her and am
taking you to her now.”
"Then you actually believe lu your
own story? You believe that this sweet
and beautiful young girl Is a fast ac
tress, n schemer, n friend of your no
toriously gallant friend and willing to
risk her reputation by paying a late
visit uncbnpnt'oned to him nt ids hunt
ing lodge In the woods? You are. after
nil, n very poor Judge of character if
you dream that we shall sec her there."
"I shall tee her, your majesty, and
you will see her unless the maducea
you cull love ban blinded the eyes of
your body us well as the eyes of your
mind. That sbe la uow at the lodge I
know, for the prince assured me with
his own lips that Kite hud promised to
motor out alone with him ami dine."
"You mean he told you that his
irtend tbe actress had promised. I'll
stake iny life oven he didn't dare to
say Miss Mowbray."
"He said Miss Hrett, the actress, It's
true, but wheu he called upon her at
her hotel, where he hnd 1 met to dis

jour majesty, he naked for Miss Mow

down 1 heard. It,wo* that Miss Mow

my mind that after giving out that she
would leave today the lady had re
mained to Krouburg for the expreea
purpose of meeting her deer friend the
prince, the handsomest and best dress-
hlm silhouetted against a spangled
sky. He was glad of this, for he hail
spent some Joyous days here as a boy.
and he wished to separate the old Im
pressions nud the new.
Two tall chimneys stood up like the
pricked ears of some alert crouching
anluml. The path to tbe lodge gleamed
white nud straight lu tbe darkness as
a parting to the rough black hair of a
gluut. Tbo trees whispered gossip to
such other lu the wind, nud It seemed
to Leopold that they were evil things
telling lies and slandering bis lore,
lie hated them and their, rustling,
which once he had loved; lie hated
the yellow eyes of the nnlmul with the
pricked cars, glltterlug eyes which
were lighted wiudows; he hated the
young prince who owned the place,
and he would have hated the chan
cellor more than all hud not the old
man limped ns he walked up the path,
•howtng how heavy was the burden of
his years as he bad never shown It to
his emperor before.
Tbe path led to a hooded entrance,
and, ascending the two stone steps, the
chancellor lifted the mailed glove
which did duty as a knocker. Twice
he brought it down ou the oak panel
underneath, and the sound of metal
smiting Rgalnst wood went echoing
through the house with an effect of
emptiness end desolation.
Nobody came to answer the sum
mons, and Leopold smiled in the dark
ness. He thought it likely that even
the prince was not at home. A prac
tical Joke had been played on the
chancellor.
' Again the mailed fist struck the pan
el. Au echo alone replied. Count von
Brelt&teln began to be alarmed for the
success of his plan. He thanked tho
night which bid from the keen eyee of
the emperor—cynical now. no doubt—
the telltale veto beating hard In his
forehead.
“HU imperial majeity the emperor.”
daunted. He knew very well now that
this was only a prelude to the drama
which would follow, and, though ho
had suffered a sharp pang of anxiety
at first, he sew that hie royal friend
was plttytng with commendable real
ism. Naturally when beautiful young
actresees ventured Into the forest uu-
cha|>erone<l to dine with fasctnaUug
princes the least that such favored
gentlemen could do was to bo "not at
borne” to an intrusive public.
"You are tptataken,” Insisted the
chancellor. “His royal highness Is at
home and will receive us. It will be
better for you to admit as without fur
ther delay.”
Under tbe domination of those eyes,
which could quell a turbnlent relcbstag,
the Jager weakened, as his master had
doubtless expected him to do after tbe
first resistance.
“It may he 1 hare mode a mistake,
sir,” he stammered, "though 1 do not
think so. If you will bare tbe kind
ness to walk In and wait for a few
minutes until I can inquire whether bis
royal highness boa come home or will
come home’’—
“That Is not necessary,” raid the
chancellor. "Ufa royal highness dines
hero this evening. We will go with
you to the door of ,tho dining room,
which you will open for us and an
nounce that two gentlemen wish to see
him."
With this all uncertainty In tbe mind
of the jager was swept away. He
know his duty and determined to stand
b.v It, and the chancellor Enw that If
tho mnstor hnd given Instructions
moaning them to ho overridden nt
least the servant was sincere. lie put
himself In the doorway and looked an
obstacle difficult to dislodge.
"That Is Impossible, sir!" he exclaim
ed. "I have hud my ordere, which are
that Ms royal highness Is not ut home
tonight, and until I know whether or
not thcBe orders are to stand nobody,
not if It were the emperor, should force
his way,"
“Fool.those orders are not for ns,
and It Is the emperor who will go In.”
With a step nslde the chancellor let
tho H^ft from the hanging lamp In
tbe hall shine full upon I.eopold's face,
hitherto masked lu shndow.
Ills boast forgotten, the Jager utter
ed a cry' of dismay, and, with a sudden
failing of tbe kneto, he moved und left
tho doorway free.
"Your majesty r he faltered. "1 did
fcot see—I could not know. Most bum
bly 1 beg your majesty's gracious par
don. If yoor majesty will but hold
me blameless with my master”—
"Never mind yourself, and never
mind your master,” broke lu tbe chan
cellor. "Open thut door at the end of
the hall and announce the emperor
and Count vou Breltstcln.”
The unfortunate Jager, approaching
a state of collapse, obeyed. The door
of the dining room, which Leopold
knew of old, was thrown open, and a
quavering voice heralded "Hie Imperial
majesty the emperor and tbe Harr
Chancellor Count von Breltsteln."
The scene disclosed was as unreal
to Leopold’s eyes as a painted picture
—the walls of pompelian red. the gold
candelabra, the polished floor spread
with the ^glimmering fur or polar bears
snd In the center a flower decked ta
ble Ut with pink shaded lights and
sparkling with gold and crystal;
springing np from a chair which fared
the door, a young man to evening
dress; sitting motionless, her back half
turned, a slender girl In bridal white.
At sight of her the emperor stopped
on the threshold. All the blood In his
body seemed rushing to his head, then
•urging back upon his heart.
The Impossible had happened.
■a _ . . "Dou't you think, chancellor, thnt.

would never be discovered.”
"Please spare me your deductions,
chaucellor." said the emperor curtly,
"end pray understand now, If you

tended to lie as aggravating as it actu

are out courting perhaps.”
“But listen, your majesty,” said Von

of a hi'.'l on a floor of stone or marble.
