It was now about live o'clock, and the soldleis who vveie now- passing us had made about foul l omuls, and consequently swallowed about llteis oi (luaits to the man. had two They ceitalnly looked It. They came on with a joyous and eager swinging step, and now and then I heaid the shout among them: "Long live the King'" The house of Valeske's aunt was in the Ludwlg subuib, outside ot theSend llngci gate. The nutuul nppioach to it, ol touise, was by the Sendllngei stiasse. I was glad Of this, because it would take us past the house of Cunl gunde von Dunkelhelm. I wished to ieconnoltei this house while It was yet daylight, for I intended to make an asbault upon It that vety night, and to llbeiate, If It lav within mv powei, from duiance vile and fiom the own ers unbeatable attentions his Chils tlnn majesty, Einest Wlllielm, the Plist I was detci mined now to unbosom myself to Mullei Time was nothing to be gilncd by longei keeping up the impostuie, and 1 wished to enlist him, ileal t and soul, in my enteipilse When iu bad enteitd that long and delight ful avenue and vveie gliding along at a ten-mile pace over the smooth as phalt I turned to the sect etui y and fcald: "Hen Muller, I have a seciet to com municate to you. Piepaie foi one of the gieattst suipilses of yout life. I am not the king." "I thought that you vveie not," said lie, without bettuying the leabt aston ishment. "Since when, did jou come to that conclusion"'" 1 asked. 1 'Tiom the beginning," he answeied I looked at him cuiiously Heie was a man whom I could nevei undei stand He did not manifest the least inteiest or emotion about the mattei. It was evidently all the same to him, whethei 1 was Stuyvesant Perkins, iscpjlie, or Ills majesty, Kmest Wlllielm I now swoie him, by the most binding oaths, to seeiecy , and then nanated to him, in as tew wouls as possible, the Whole touise of: events, tiom the time "rnoM the beginning," he an- SWKBGD. I met von Dunkelhelm, to tho'moment when I awoke und lound myself a nion atch. He agieed with me us to the ptt nlcious efteets of allowing the stoiy of the king's absence to become public, and, lurtheitnote, pledged himself to aid me, with heatt and hand, in my at tempt, that nicht, to iiee his majesty fiom the powei of the too aftectlonate Cuuigunde. "Hei i Pet kins," said he, "you aie a good fellow, and an honest man. You ate a stranger; but you uio accomplish ing ptodlgies in the king's behalf.

It had the look, tiuly, of a pilson, and Its molancholy and woll-foi tilled appeal ante, while boding ill foi our elite! prise, made us mule unxlous to be gin It without delay A few minutes atteiwaid we passed thiough the rfendllngei gnts and ui llved at oui destination In the I.udwlg's subuib My paitlng with Vulesku was bald to beni.

It w.ts wondeilul how well I adapted mvself to the vehicle It obeyed mv slightest will The hand upon the dial in It out of me, besides the voltage, Indi cated the tate of speed at which the toupe was i tinning; piovlslon being made fot a velocity as high as J" miles an houi. Twice oi tin Ice I made a spilt t and went at full speed. What a lev elation It would have been to the son of Xlmshl! When we ai lived In the Theatlner stiasse we weie again conf touted with that evetlastlng ptocession of the toyal guuids It was now sK o'clock, and thev must hive made the clicult eight oi nine times I now noticed that a gieat many out siders had joined themselves to the tioops and wete matching with them The alt was continually lent with shouts of "IIot)i del Koenlg1" "Ills majesty fotevet'" and "Down with the deputies'" "It is wondeiful what tlnee thousand trunks will do," thought I. As we came mound by the bank, to get into the street ol the Ilof gm ten, w e found the ciowd so dense that It was utteilv Impossible to foiee a passage. On this account we weie consti allied to lenuiin peifettlv immovable fot the bet tet pail of an houi rinally theio was a movement ol the populace tow aid the -quale of Maximilian Joseph. i"oi a moment thete w is an opening In the etowd befoie us, and we quickly took advantage ofit, and in two oi tlnee minutes found oui selves in the ieai of the pake, at the small piivate entiance, which we had pieviously used It was now almost seven o'clock in the evening and the datkness was beginning to set tle down We found Gottfiied Johan nes waiting for us upon the steps. "Your majesty Is wanted Immediately at the telephone'" he ctled. "Take me to It," said I. He led me thiough a long, dimly lighted couldoi and Into a small ollice I took down the lecelvet and applied It to my ear. "Hello'" said I. "Hello' yout majesty," same back in a slu 111 female voice, "Who Is talking.'" bald I. "He has gone olf with her, your majesty '" shtleked the volte "Who has gone oft with whom, and what is It to me'" I shouted ' It was half an bout ago, and I havt been tijlng to call up your majesty evet since" "Well, who are you, and what do you want me to do about It'" "Cany oui majesty not save her''" "Save hei"" 1 shouted back, In des peiatlon. "Save whom"'" "My niece, Valeska, your majesty. Did I not say he had tun off witli hei '" It dawned upon me that I was talk ing with riau Kelnhold, and that she was conveying to ire the iufoimutlon that my angelic piotege had been, In some mannei abducted by the villain ous Von lUlbenstein 1 was so ovei povveitd by the intelligence that 1 ex piessed myself cotnewhat emphatical ly "Oh' oh' your majesty How can yout majesty talk fo honlbly1'" "I will be with you In less than a quaitet of an houi," suld I With that I put up the teceher and hastened out. I found Seeietaiy Mul ler smoking a pipe upon the box of the toupe 1 took my place beside hint, and Immediately put the vehicle in mo tion I chose the back stieets, and, avoiding the more ciovvded thotough faies, at rived ut the dwelling of Fiau ltelnholdt In less time than I hud ptomlsed hei. On the way, 1 told Mul ler what had happened He did not show the least sutptise, but enteied In to my plans, cooly and as a matter of course He was ttuly a singular In dividual. We found Fiau Ueinhold 111 gieat dls tiess of mind She Inlonned us that about thiee-foui tlm of an hour ultei we had left them, her niece and she had stepped fiom tho house, with the intention of vlsltintr an apothecary's shop in the nelghboihood As they passed a closely-toveied baiouche, which was diawn up at tho cutb, the door of It suddenly opened, Gen, von ltabensteln datted out upon the walk, thiew some boit of a blanket over the heud and shouldets of Vuleska, and spiung, with the snuggling ghl Jn his aims, Into the cartlage; which was at once driven fntiuusly uwav, 'The whole thing had been done so quickly and ntatly tlmt the few pedistrlnns vvltltln the stieet had not noticed It. She, het self, had been so utteily sutpilsed tliut when It ocuuiied to bet to tty out the vehicle was alteady a long distance nwny It had gone down the Kendllnget cotintiy oad, which takes a southeast cily dltectlou, fiom the city. Of the equipage Itself, she tecollected no dis tinctive featuies, save that one of the horses was white and then other bay, and that the coachman had a yellow handket chief wound round his neck. These wete meager clews to follow, but 1 bundled the old ladv Into the coupe, und we staited In puisult of tho bniouche at a bteakneck rutu ot speed. It was a quaitet of seven when the unfortunate gill had been stolen, and It was now n quartet past the houi. They could not veiy well ttavel at a gteatet late than eight miles an houi, consequently they hud foui miles the stint of us. Hy half past seven they would have tiavtled two tulles futther, oi sl miles In all At that point I would ceitalnly overtake them, its I had pulled the lever mound to Its full est extent, and we vveie plunging along at the late of twenty -live miles un hour. It was a fine macadamized toad, and all the conditions wete favoiable for the gieatest amount of speed. We had, howevet, to ctoss sevoi.il btldges and to dodge quite a nlitnbet of vehicles The icsult being that many times we lode upon two wheels only, and twice oi tin Ice we llehochetted along fot some distance upon one wheel alone out seat being at an angle of forty-live degtees with the load It was eiv exhllitating and, under oidlnaiy clt cuinstances, 1 would have enjoyed It hugely. My thoughts now, however, welt nt nitthttiir l.,,t fnlnolm AVhen it still lacked two mlnutes'of the hall houi we ovet hauled an equlp age which seemed to answer Fiau Itelnhold'b desctlptlon It was getting quite datk, but tbeie wus still light enough to see that It was abeavy, close coveied baiouche, that one hotse was white and the other bay and that the diivei woie the yellow handket chief aiound his neck. This thieefold com bination made me quite sine of my giound. Diminishing the peed of my coupe, I came up close behind the bai ouche, tellnqulshed the level to Muller and clambeied up over the top of the abductors caulage. I seized the coach man by thetollai, plunged my self down by his side and held Mullet's latge meeisehauin nlpe uiralnst bib head. 'If you speak," said I, "I will blow the top of youi head off." He spoke not Otherwise, I would have been placed In quite a piedlca ment. I took the leins fiom him and bi ought the liaises to a standstill ' Get dow ij," I commanded "and make yout self scatce The fuithei you go the better you will llnd the all " He leaped down to the giound with alaciity and in a twinkling disappeared ovei the hedge at the side of the load 1 he eanla.re doot opened and a laige, soldletly, middle-aged man got out I was on the siound to meet him as he came totth PART vr "What Is the mattet ''" he bellowed "Aie you Geneial von Habensteln .'" I asked, "Yes I am," he teplled. "You vveie," said I, as I gave him a tenlble blow with my whole weight back of it. He chopped to the eat th and lay theie veiy peacefully, and in the most com foi table position 1 went to the doot of the geneial's caulage, and met Val eska just stepping out She was ex tiemely pale, and hei blue eyes weie - -vs fvw yaeesTm i -- , n iiijsmw: f -- t3 - - . i Sun SANK INTO MY ARMS. wide with flight. When she s-aw me, she save a contented little sigh, and sank Into my aims. Under the Influence of my consoling and leassuthi" wotds, she quickly te coveied her sttongth und spit Its. 1 now found how buoyant und elastic was bet natuie, us I saw her, in a few moments, puss fiom a stute of ft antic despuli, to one of cheerful und mischievous gay ety She even Insisted upon ildlng with me upon the box ot the coupe, und I wus In a quandaiy as to how I should dis pose of Mullet , until I found that It was all one with him, whether he tode upon tho box, or upon the In ilde, w lib the old lady. He wus truly an nccotntnodatlng peibim, and 1 would hav liked to ad vance hltn In some way, if I hud known how to do so. We had detet mined to take, the ladles dltectly to the palace, and to leave them thete, undar the liuttge of Gott liletl Johannes, while we stoitned the castle of Cunlsunde, and l opened his majesty. I had not foi gotten, by any means, this all tiupnitaut unlet prise; and, though thete wus no longer neces sity foi such momentum as wo had used In the puisult of von llnbensteln, I whit led the catrluge along at a very le spectable speed. My Intimacy with Valoska was len dered closer, moie confidential and mote nmlcable by the delightfully cozy and asteeable situation In which we now found ourselves. "Why Is It," said 1, "that you were so unaltetably opposed to the geneial's suit? .-The match would bo a billllant one for almost any glil. Can It be that you entei turned a prioi affection for some one else?" "No, yout majesty " "Do you mean to tell me, Fiatllein Valeska, that you have nevet been In love?" ' ' I did not say that, your majesty " "Then you confess, child, that you ate In love with some one?" The aitloss and amiable cieatuto hung hei head, and u veiy rosy hue mantled her lovely cheek und pet feet neck ' Valeska, fall one, tell me, does not the insensible clod tetuin thy affec tion?" ' I do not know, your majestv, ' she answeied, faintly. ;He might, pei haps, If things were different. Ho is so Immeasutably tetnoved fiom me by wealth and tank that It Is, sms! impos sible foi him to think of me " "Hut suppose, girl, that all his tank and power had vanished, that he had suddenly became pool and humble, would you love him still?" "I would love him though he vveie a beggat,' cried Vnlesla, with enthusi asm After we had set down Valeska and hei aunt at the pilaee, and just as we were ptepating to stait upon our ad ventuious expedition, I was handed a note by Gottfiied Johannes It was fiom my piimo mlnlstei Count Von Lowenkopf, and lead as follows: "The enthusiasm of the tioops Is unpiece dented The chamber has alieady gi anted the tax. Youi minister foi foi elgn affairs has concluded a settle ment of the Von Dunkelhelm alfalt with the Lusatlun envoy upon the most favoiable terms, without paying him a gulden, and the betr is not ill gone yet. Long live youi majesty" I natiuallv felt somewhat elated at the success ot my stratagem and was a little proud that I had shown such genius In affaiis of government Mount ing once mote the box ot out matchless coupe, I set tree the electi 1c lluld and in a few minutes we had at lived at the house In the Sendllnger strasse op posite the Chinch of St. Johannes; the house which we had so much leason to suppose was even now the pilson of the utifoitiinate monaich. Mullet wus fot bteaklng Into the house thiough some window In the ieai "Yes," said I, "and get foui yeats foi buiglaiy. I know a way vvoith two of that." The sill of the house door was but a few Inches above the level of the side walk. The wheels of oui can luge had pneumatic tires, and, piojectlng beyond the wheels. In front of the vehicle, there was a soit of lubbei buffer or bumper of gieat solidity. I gave the guiding wheel a slight twist to the light, the coupe shot obliquely acioss the stieet, passed over the cuib, tiaversed the sidewalk and crashed against the heavy door. The effect was all that I wished foi. The doot fell Invvaid in splinters; bcreams came fiom the In tel lor of the mansion, and the pedes tilaiib who vveie upon the stieet began to hasten tow aid the scene I got down fiom the box and was just In time to meet the em aged Cuuigunde In the dooivvay Her wiath wus Inde scilbuble and hei vocabulmy complete and oinate Behind hei commanding and wildly -gesticulating tlgute I caught a glimpse of a familial but somewhat pale and emaciated face It was un douLtedly that of the pool captive King "Madame," said I, taking off my hat, "your house Is on Hie. The flumes me even now comlns thiough the loof. This Is the new chemical engine Get togeth'ei at once youi valuables und jewels, as we aie about to Hood the house." A moment she was ieolute. Then she turned and lushed Into the back of the hoiibe. I opened the dooi ot tho coupe, made a dush Into the hallway fot his majesty, and diagged him tow aid the entiance To my suiptlse, he tesisted my good olllces.so that I was obliged to use consldeiable tone He now began to light and snuggle like a madman, and at the same time showed such sttength that I began to despait ol getting him out befoie Cunlguude'o 0 return. Thectovvd and the tumult out tlde were Inct easing, Theie was no help for It, I at once put Into execution the famous tackle, loi which I was so unowned when I played In our eleven at college, I squeezed the bieath out of his body, doubled him up, flung him over my shoulder, inude a uish fot the street, and IluttK him, almost senseless into the depths of the vehicle. To slam tw doot shut, mount the box and turn the lever was the woik of a moment It was none to boon Sev eral of the bystattdets caught hold of the wheels. Two or tlnee of them turned complete someisaults by doing so, and the coupe passed on, like the cur of Juggtr naut. Of course, I legtetted exceedingly (v having to us' such heroic measutes with the Lotd'u uunuluted. Hut what could I do9 My business was to iecue hltn, and I had done It In spite or him self, Muller had done nothing but laugh front the very commencement of the melee. Hvt'u when We hi lived at the palae'e ho was still so convulsed with lliwmd meiilmenl that 1 t mild get ab solutely nothing out of him In the way of counspl. It was teiilly quite aggia vatlng, and I was much nnnoyed by It. I had Muller get dow n and enter the palace, by the fiont and main puitlco, as I wished him to see to It that evcty- Saw f n 5 Kl-B If HER WRATH WASINDISCRIBABLD. thing was In readiness for his majes ty's leceptlon, and that theie wete no loiterers in the real passage way so that wo might hi Ing him Into the palace incognito and without occasioning any publicity or scandal. I then lan the cuniage mound to tho piivate entiance, and waited fot Mullet to come down. Several minutes passed and he did not appear I got dow n fiom the box, and looked Into the window of the coupe I could not see verv dis tinctly, so I opened the doot. To my astonishment, the vehicle was empty Ills majesty bad Jumped fiom the cui liage, while It wus in tianslt, und hud escaped This then, was the outcome of all my heroic endeavois While I was thinking how foolkh he had been bevcral loims closed uiound me out of the daikness Two men seized my aims, and one of them cited. ) In the name of the king " "What am I ai tested loi V" I asked. "Foi high tteason," said he. They now took me into the passage, led me up seveial stall ways and thiough any iiumbei of couldoi", and at lust bi ought me Into a latge mid billliantly lighted chamber Atthefui ther end of It wete sevtaj ollkeis, In goigeous unlfoims One mun alone, among them, was seated ' Youi majesty," spoke the oftlcci who had anested me, ' this lb the man " "Let everyone withdi aw," said the gentleman who was sitting. "I would be alone with the pilsonel " I now knew that he w lfo spol e was the king To sav that I was astonished, confounded and dumbfounded, does not do Justice to It. Foi the king was no other than my quondam Seeietaiy Mul lei. I had never experienced such a trans foimatlon, upheaval und tevcrsal, In mv life befoie All the day, my feelings and my Imagination had been upon an heroic plane. I now found that I had been nothing more than the play thing of the king, and that my achievement", Instead of being heroic, Inclined lather to the ildiculous I tecollected how I had pationbed Mullei, and oidered him about, and I wondered what he would now do to me foi It Aftei the apattment had been eleaied ot all but his majesty und my sell, he looked ut me giavely foi a moment or two, and then becan to laugh, just us he hud laughed upon the coupe 1 wus not so much vexed about it now, as I was then I took It foi a happy align-y 'Hen Perkins," said be, at length, when be had laughed Until he was pur ple in the face, "vou aie u most excel lent young matt and you mean well, but 1 cunnot laugh like thU all the time. 1 would die of it Weie it not fot this I would keep you ah -ays near me In the paluce As It Is, you may ak of me any lew aid you will, loi the hon est elfoits vou have put foitb In my be half und foi the amusement you have given me " "I would like to ask your majesty fhst," said I, "to be so kind as to give me an explanation of the supposed le sernblance between Hen von Dunkel helm and y oui majesty .'"
