True, the long inrly spring night gave him four more hours of ' d.-irkncss. Hut the messenger wan due at three, nt the bunting lodge In Hie mountains which was his destination Mi- would be, at the best, late by an hour. ' " He pushed the car to -its limit The fine hard road, with its border of tries, stictchcil ahead. Nlkky surveyed it with a so'dler's eye. A military road, or he knew nothing one along which motor lorries could iiiiin.ii , prrss time. A ' marvelous road in that sparsely settled , place. Then he entered :ho forest, that Kingly reserve In which Karl ran deer, for pastime. " I He was Hearing his destination I i in what the messenger shn! told him Nil(K hung his linpn of Siiivoss. This was. briefly. Hut he should go to the I lo.i.-il shooting box at Wedding, and should go. not to the house Itself, but to ' the gatekeeper's lodge. Here he was to1 leave his machine nnd tap at the door. , (in Its being opened lie was tu say noth Ing. hut to give the letter tu him who opened the door After that he wa- lo , capital. take tho machine away to tho porno sixty miles farther on. The message, then, was to the King himself. I-'or Nlkky, ns nil the world, knew that Karl, with sonic kindred spirits, was nt Wcdellng, shooting. That Is If tho messenger told tho truth Nlkky Intended to find out. lie was nothing If not thorough. Nlkky had lost much of his Jaunty illr by that time. On the surface he was his Usual debonair self, but his mouth was grim and rather con temptuous. This was Karl's way; to propose marriage with a Princess of Livonia, nnd yet line tho country with his spies! Let him but return. CJod will-1 Ing. with 'his report, anil after that let t u ni eontlnuo negotiations with Karl if they dared. When nt last tho lights of the lodge at tho gato nf Wedding gleamed out through the trees. It 'was half past ". and a wet spring snow was falling softly. In an open place Nlkky looked up The stars were gone. The lodge now, nnd the gatekeepers' house. Nlkky's heart hammered ns he left the car -hammered with nervous ness, not terror. Hut he went boldly to Jhe door anil Knocked Sn far nil was well There weie foot st"ps within nnd a man stepped out Into the darkness, closing the door behind him Nlkky. who had come so far to i see this very agent nml to lako back a description of him, felt thwarted Things were not being done, he felt, according to specification. And llio man spoke, which was also unepecled. "You have tho letter? ' ho asked. "It Is here." Luckily he did tint speak the p.itols, "1 will Hike It." Nlkky held it nut. Tin- man fumbled for It, took It. "Orilefa hue eoine. ' said a voice. i "lh.it jou remain here fi.r the night 1n tlin morning you ure to .any illi-- l patches to the city." Poor Nlkky '. With his . ar facing to ward the lodge, unit under mcesl:.v, In ordi r to escape, to back II out Into llm highway! I'e thought qulcklj There was no chance of overpowering Ills man quickly nml silently. And the house was not empty, l-'roin beyond the door enme sounds of men's voices, and the thud of 1 drinking mugs on a bare table "Vim will laKo in: up to the house , and tl en put the m- nw.-n until morn ing." ' Nlkky breathed again It was going to bo easy, after all. If nnl tho road I went straight to tho shooting-box Itself the lest was simple. Hut he prayed that he make no fa'.se turning t betray Ills Ignorance. "Very well." he said. Ills companion opened the door behind him. "Heady, now," he called. "The car Is here " Two men lose from a table where thev had been sluing nnd put on greatcoats of fur. The lamplight within quivered In the wind fioni the open dorr N'lkkv was quite calm now. Ills hear! heal ill tho Chancellor fcould llnd the recital of this escapado much tu Ills ttstc. In a modest way Nlkky felt that he was luak log history. Tho man who had received tho letter pot. Into tho machine besldo him. The tdl.eV two climbed Into the tnnneau. And, as If to innKo tho denouement doubly ridiculous, the road led straight. Nlkky, growing extremely cheerful behind Ills goggles,, wondered how much potro! re mained In the car. The men behind talked in low tones. Of the shooting, mostly, nnd the. effect of the snow on It. They bad been after pheasants that day, It appeared. "They are late tonight," grumbled nim of them, a' the house appeared, full lighted. "A tanly start tomorrow again'" "The King must have his sleep," com mented the other, rather mockingly. Tho shoal, built after With u masterly sweep Nlkky drew up his machine befoie the entrance. Let' the fashion of tho mountains, of logs and wood-lined. Tho walls of the, hall were hung with skins and the mounted heads of animals, boar and deer, nnd .even nn Ainirlcnn mountain sheep, testifying to the range of Its royal owner's activi ties as a hunter. (Irent pelts lay on the. floor, nnd the candelabra wero horns cunningly arranged to hold candles. The hall rxttnded to the roof, mid li gallery half way up showed tho doors cf the sleepInK apartments. The lodgo was noisy. Loud talking, the coming and goltig of servants with tras, tht crackle of wood fires In which whole Irgs wero burning, and, as Nldity and his escort entered, tho roaring chorus of a hunting song tilled the ears. Tuo of the men Hung off their heavy coats .mil proceeded without ceremony Into the loom whenco the sound Issued. Tho third, however, still holding the letter, ushered Nlkky Into a small sldo room, a sort of study, since It contained 'j-ivsa ITU. . cap.

He feared nothing. Uut here again Nlklo planned too fast. The servant who came out to open the doors of the motor had brought a mes sage. "His Majesty desires that the messenger conio In," was the bombshell which exploded In Nlkky's ears. Nlkky hesitated. And thensome Imp of recklessness In him prompted him not to iun away, but In tee tho tl Ing through. It was, nftcr nil. it cliincc either ay. These men beslde-the car were doubtless armed--one, nt least, nearest him. was certainly one of Karl's own secret agents. And, as Nlkky paused, he was not certain, but it seemed to him that the man took a step toward him "Very well." said Nlkky, grumbling. "Hut I have had n Ions ride and a. cold oi, e 1 need sleep." I.eit then he had a faint hope that t'.i" fibers wotilddirecedo lilitii nnd mat It v ,uhl be possible tu leap bacK ti the car and escape. Hut. whether by acci dent or design, the group cloed ubout him. Fight was out of tho question. A liltlo high was Nlkky's head as i.e went in lie had done a stupid thing now. and he knew It He should have taken his letter and gone back with It. Hut. fool or not, he was a soldier. Hanger mane hint calm. clerical occupations even on holiday. A plain little room It was. containing an American typewriter, and besldo the desk only a chair or two upholstered In led morocco Nlkky had icluctnntly lemoved ills message.
