That Camp Meade soldiers must learn

he consulted his wnt-h. 1 was three
oe'oclc. 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
