searched It with eager cea. now won

and nllurlng! Ho glanced sldeuais at
Mlas Ilralthalte, but It was clear that
to her It was only a monstrous heap of
sheot-lron and steel, adorned with ds
Jocted greenery tint had manifestly
been out too soon In tho chill air of
nrv earlv snrtng
A wonderful possibility presented It
self. ' If I eee Bobby," ho asked, "may
I stop tho cirri igo ana speak to lilm?"
' Certainly not "
"Will ma 1 rail to him?"
"Think It mer," suggested Miss
nralthwaite "Would our grandfither
like to know tint jou had dono an) thing
so undignified? '
Ho turned to her a rather desperats

Miss Hralthwalte sat still In her seat
and said nothing Tho notlty of riding
in a rojal carriage had long since pass- d

was, rldo dally in tho park with a crown

had, now nnd then nn Inclination to bow

tho dignity of theso occasions with a

to her. "You must remember. Otto,"
sho said, "that this this American child

It, that he would rcent )our being of

"Sit up straight," commanded Mla
Bralthwaile.
"May I Just wavo once? I "
"Otto!' said Miss Bralthwnlte, In a
terrible voice.
But a dreadful thing was happening
Bobby was looking directly at him and
making no sign. His mouth was n
triflo open, but that was all Otto had
a momentary glimpse of him, of tho
small cap set far bick, of the white
sweater, of two coolly critical eves. Then
the crowd closed up nnd the carrlago
moved on.
Prlnco Ferdinand William Otto Fat

Bobby was through with him First
Nlkky had forgotten him. and now tho
American boy had learned his un
fortunate position ns one of the detested
order, nnd would have nono of him
"Vou see," said Miss Hralthwalte, with
an air of relief, "he did not know jou"
Up on the box the mnn beside Beppo
kept his hnnd on tho revolver. Tho car
rlago turned back toward the palaco.
Lato that afternoon tho Chancellor
had a visitor. Old Mathllde, his servant
nnd housekeeper, showed tome curiosity
but little excitement over It. Sho was.
In fact, faintly resentful.
Tho Chancellor hid eaten llttlo all
day, and now, when sho had an omolct
ready to turn smoking out of tho pan,
must corns ths Princess Hodwlg on foot

Mathllde admlttod her and surveved
her uncompromisingly. Rovaltles were
qulto as much In her lino as they were
In the Crown Prince's.
'Ho H about to havo supper, High
ness." "Please, Mathllde," begged Hedwlg.
"It Is very Important."
Mathllde slghod "As jour Highness
wishes," sho agreed, nnd went grum
bllngly back to tho study overlooking
tho walled garden.
"You may bring his supper when It
Is ready," Hedwlg called to her.
Mathlldo was mollified, but she knew
what was fitting, if tho Princess did
not. Tho omelet spoiled In the pan.

gripped hard at tho nrms of his chair
"Ho will turn up, very much ashamed

"That Is what jou want mo to bcllovo

Ho leincd back In his ihilr nnd con

ha this was how things were: another,

"I? Whit can I do?' Hut she knew,
and the Chancellor know that sho knew
"It is Karl, then?"
"It mav be King Karl, Hedwlg"
Hedwlg rose, and the Chinccllor got
heavily to his feet. She was fighting

But as a prlvato gentleman, I thank

Having examined tno nnois in mo

nnd having gagged tho chauffeur
securely, Nlkky prepared to go. In his
goggles, with the low-vlsorcd cap and
fur coat, ho looked not unllks his lato

as ho walked toward tho car, a bit of

triflo of uneasiness. I
Tor Nlkky now knew his destlna-
inn. Vinew that he was bound on per- '
llous work, and that tho chances of
his returning wcro about flfty-flfty, or
r.itlioe teas.
Nevertheless, ho was apparently quite
calm ns ho examined tho tar. Ho would
hivo chosen, perhaps, a less perilous
place to attempt Its mj stories, but needs

considerable noise, ho worked It nwny

NIICKY LABISCH had been having
an exciting time.
First of all, ho exchanged garments
with tho chauffeur and cursed his own
long legs, which proved difficult to cover
ndequatelj. But tho chauffeur's long
fur ulster helped considerably. Tho ex
change was rather a tlckll&h matter, nnd
would havo been moro so hid ho not
found a revolver In tho fur coat pocket
it is anvajs naiu to remove a loat
from a man whoso arms aro tied, and

removes trousers from a refractory
prisoner offers problems They must bo
dragged off and a good thrust from a
heavy boot, or two boots, has been
known to change tho fato of nations
However, Nlkkj's luck htood His

wlso precaution of hav Ing straddled him
nothing untoward happened.
Behold, then, Nlkky of tho bravo heart

' It Is cold, mj friend," ho said, brlcflj,
'but I am a kindly boul, nnd If jou

have so much ns a nnufllo to remind jou
of this tomorrow,"
"I havo told the truth"
"As a boldlcr, of course," Nlkky went
ward the border. After that Nlkkv
found It easier
But, with his course nssured, other
difficulties presented themselves To
take tho letter to thoso who would re
rclvo it was ono thing. But to deliver
It, with all that It might contain, was
another. Ho was not brilliant, was
Nlkkj-. Only brave nnd slmplo of heart

If, now, he could open tho letter and

ho substitute? Thero wero cigarette pa

Nlkky pondered To cut tho sldo of

was not good enough. Tho best Is (

Tho cnglno was boiling hard, a dull
