CONTINUED They brought rather interesting news concerning the count It appears that he and the baron had quarreled, and at the time of uiy friends' departure from Vienna It was pretty generally. s stood that there would be a duel. "1 never liked the baron." I said, with a grim smile that con Id not have been misinterpreted, "but I hope to heavens he Isn't killed." Mrs. Titus sighed 'Tarnowsy is 1* garded as a wonderful marksman." "Worse luckP* growled Collngraft. gloomily twlildl'ug his thumbs. "What kind of a shot Is the baron?" asked Jasper junior hopefully. So one was able to enlighten him, but Billy Smith shook his head dole fully. "Maris Tarnowsy Is a dead shot. He'll pot the baron sure" "Hang it all," said I, and then lapsed into a horrified silence. When the Hazzards and Smiths de parted the next morning they were In fnll possession of all of our plans, hopes and secrets, but they were bound by promises that would have hatiuted them throughout all eternity if they allowed them to be violated. Ido uot recall having seen two more Intensely excited, radiant women tn my life tbau Elsie and Betty Billy. They were lu an ecstatic state of mind. Their hus bands. but little less excited, offered to help ns in every way possible, and to prove their earnest, turned the prow of the motorboat down stream, abandoning the the river In or der to be tn Vienna tn case I should need them for any purpose whatsoever. "You may rest easy so far as I am concerned. Mrs. Tltus." said the young diplomat. "As a representative of the United States government 1 can't be come publicly Involved in this Inter national muddle. I've Just got to keep my lips sealed. If it were discovered that I knew of all this, my head would be under the snickersnee In no time at all. Swtsb! Officially suicided!" At 10 o'clock the next morning I was called to the telephone. Smith bad startling news to impart Count Tar nowsy and Baron Dmovitch had en gaced in a duel with pistols at sunrise ami the latter had gone down with a bullet throush his lungs! He died an hour later. Tarnowsy. according to the rumors flying about official Vien ua. was already on his way to Berlin, where he would probably remain tn seclusion until the affair blew over or imperial forgiveness was extended to bim. There was cause for satisfaction among us, even Though the baron had fallen instead of the count. The sen sational affair would serve to keep Tarnowsy under cover for some weeks at least and minimize the dangers at tending the countess' flight from the castle Still. 1 could not help feeling disappointed over the outcome of the meeting. Why coulrfn't Count Tarnow sy have been the one to fall? The countess, very pale and distrait save utterance to her feelinzs in a most remarkable speech. She said: "This Is one of the few fine things that Marls has ever done. 1 am glad that he silled that man. He should j have done so long ago. the beast! He was—ugn!—the most despicable crea ' fure I've ever known." She said no more than this, bnt one could readily grasp all that she left nnuttered Colingraft rather sententiously re marked tc little Rosemary, who cotild not have comprehended the words of course. "Well, little Rosebud, your papa may be a spendthrift but be nev er wastes bullets " Which was entirely uncalled for, 1 eontend. I was struck by the rwlH look of dread that leaped into Allne'i eyes and her pallor. On top of all this came the astonish ing news by cipher dispatch from old Jasper Titus' principal adviser In Lon don that his offer of $1,000,000 had been declined by Tarnowsy two days before, the count having replied through his lawyers that nothing short of two millions would induce him to relinquish all claims to his child. I had been ignorant of this move in the case and expressed my surprise. "1 asked father to do it. Mr. Smart." said the countess dejectedly. "It seem ed the easiest way out of our difficul ties—and the cheapest H? will never give in to this new demand though. We must make the best of It" "But why did yon suggest such a thing to him?" 1 demanded with heat She looked hurt "Because you seem ed to think it was the right and hon orable thing to do." she said patiently. "I do not forget what you said to me days and days ago even though It may have slipped your mind. You said That a bargain is a bargain and—well. I had Mr. Bangs write father Just what you thought about it" There was a suspicion of tears In her voice as she turued away aud left me without another word. She was quite out of sight aronnd the bend In the staircase and her little boots were clattering swiftly upward before I fully grasped the significance of her explanation—or, I might better say, her reproach. It slowly dawned upon 1 me that 1 bad said n great many things to her that it would pay me to remem ber before questioning her motives in | any particular. As the day for her departure drew nearer—lt was now but forty-eight ; hours away—her manner seemed to un , dergo a complete change. She became moody, nervous, depressed. Of course all this was attributable to the dread : of discovery and capture when she was once outside the great walls of Sell loss Rothhoefen. I could under stand her feelings and rntlier lamely. attempted to bolster up her courage by making light of the supposed per ils. She looked at me with a certain pa thetic somberness In her eyes that' caused my heart to ache. All of her! Joyous raillery was gone, all of her | gentle arrogance. Uer sole Interest In life In these last days seemed to be of j a sacrificial nature. She was sweet j and geutle with every one—with me In particular. 1 may say—and there wag, something positively humble In her at-! titude of self abnegation. Where she| had once been wilful and Ironic she; was now gentle «ud considerate. Nor was 1 the only one to note these sub tle changes In her. I doubt, however, 1£ the others were less puzzled than I In fact, Mrs. Titus was palpably per-! plexed. and there were times wheu 1 caught her eying me with distinct dls approval, as If she were seeking In mc the cause of her daughter's weakness ' es. as much as to say. "What other nonsense have you been putting into the poor child's head, you wretch?" 1 went up to have a parting romr with Rosemary on the last night ol ber stay with me. The countess paid but little attention to us. She sal over In the window and stared out into the dusky shadows of the fallins night. My heart was sore. 1 was miserable. The last romp! Blake finally snatched Rosemary ofl to bed. It was then that the countesf aroused herself and came over to mc with a sad little smile on ber lips. "Good night" she said rather wist fully, holding out ber hand to me. 1 deliberately glanced at my watch "It's only ten minutes past 8," I said reproachfully. "1 know," she said quietly. "Good night." CHAPTER XXIII. I Speed the Parting Guest. FODR o'clock In the morning Is a graceless hour. Graveyards may yawn at 12. but even they are content to slumber at 4. I don't believe there Is anything so des olate in this world as the mental per spective one obtains at 4 o'clock. Tombstones are bright beacons ot cheer as compared to the mouumentai regret one experiences on gettiug up to greet the alleged and vastly over rated glories of a budding day. The sunrise is a pall. It is a deadly, doui thing. It may be pink and red and golden and full ot all the splendors ot the east, but It is a resurrection, and you can't make anything else out of it. Staying up till 4 aud then going tr bed gives one an idea of the sunrise that is not supported by the facts. There is but one way to appreciate the real nature of the hateful thing called dawn, and that is to get up with it instead of takiug it to bed with you Still, 1 suppose the sun has to come np, and perhaps It Is just as well that It does so at an hour when people are least likely to suspect It of anything so shabby. Four o'clock is mot* than a grace less. sodden hour whofi It ushers In a day that you know is to be the un happiest In your life; when yon know that you are to say farewell forever to the hopes begot and nurtured In othet days; when the one you love smiles and goes away to smile again, but not for yon. And that Is Just what 4 o'clock on the morning of the 14th ot September meant to me. Brltton and 1 set forth In the auto mobile Jnst at the break of dawn, crossing the river a few miles below the castle and running back to a point on the right band bank where we were to await the arrival of the boat con veylng the countess and her escort Her luggage, carefully disguised a? crated merchandise, had gone tc Trieste by fast express a couple of •lays before, sent In my name nnd eon signed to « gentleman whose nams 1 do not now recall, but who in reality served as a sort of middleman in trans ferring the shipment to the custody of a certain yacht's commander. It was required of me—and of my machine, which Is more to the point that the distance of 120 miles through the foothills of the Austrian Alps should be covered and the passengers delivered at a certain railway station fifty miles or more south of Vienna before 10 o'clock that night There they were to catch a train for the lit tle seaport on the upper Adriatic, the name of which 1 was sworn never to reveal, and, as 1 have not considered It worth while to be released from that oath. 1 am of necessity compelled to omit the mention of it here. Mr. Bangs went on to Vienna the night before our departure, taking with him Helene Marie Louise Antoinette, a rather shocking arrangement you would say. unless you had come to know the British lawyer as well as we knew bim. They were to proceed by I the early morning train to this obscure seaport. conngrart Titus elected to j accompany his sister the entire length of the Jotiruey, with the faithful Blake 1 and Rosemary. Billy Smith was to meet us a few miles outside the town for which we were bound, with a word of warning If there was anything siulster In the wind.. 1 hoard afterward from Poopendyke i that the departure of the countess and Rosemary from the castle in the gray, forlorn dawn of that historic 14th was 4 attended by a demonstration of grief on the pnrt of the four Schraicks that was far beyond his powers of descrip tion. and he possesses a vatnderful ability to describe lachrymose situa tions. rather running to that style of incident. I may say. The elder Schmicks wailed and boohooed and proclaimed to the topmost turrets that the sun would never shine again for either of them, nnd to prove that she was quite in earnest about the matter Gretel fell off the dock into the river and was nearly drowned before Jasper junior could dire In and get her. Their sons, both of whom cherished amorous feelings for Blake, sighed so prodi giously all the way down the river that the boat rocked. Incidentally during the excitement Jinko. who was to re main behind and Journey westward later on with Mrs. Titus and Jasper junior, succeeded after weeks of vain endeavor lu smartly nipping the calf of Hawkes' left leg. a feat of which he no doubt was proud, but which sen tenced my impressive butler to an ever lasting dread of hydrophobia and a temporary limp.
