The castle Is comparatively modern, with |K>lnte<] turrets and fretted mlna rets, and.

Itut on the opposite bank of the Mommelsee Is huddled the durk shape of an ancient fortified stronghold. !?? gun no one knows bow many centuries ago by the first Count von llreltsteln Generation following generation the men of that furully completed the work until nowadays It Is dllllclut to know where the rock ends and the castle be glhs. There, like a dragon squatting on the colls of Its own tall, the dark mass Is poised, Its deep set window eyes glaring across the bright water at the white splendor of LyndaIberg like the malevolent stare of the mon ster waiting to spring upon and devour a fair young maiden. j ue niwHis or iiaroness von l.ynual :oncerniug grim old Selfless Itreltsteln had varied many tlmea during lier years of residence by the lake. Some times she pleased herself hy reflecting thut the great man w ho bad slighted her lived in less luxury than she had attained hy her excellent marriage. Again, the thought of the ancient line ago of the present Count von Breltstein filled her with envy, and oftener than all the feeling that the "old grizzly bear" could crouch In his den nud watch snecflugly everything which happened at Lyndulberg got upon the lady's nerves. She could have scream ed and shaken her list at the dark mass of rock and stone across the water, but after the birthday ball and during the first days of Leopold's visit at her house she often threw a whimsical glance at the grim silhouette against the northern sky and smiled "Can you see, old bear?" she would ask gayly. "Are you spying over there? Do you think yourself all wise and all powerful? Do you see what's In my mind now, irhd do you guess partly why I've taken all this trouble? Are you racking your bruin for some way of spoiling my little plans? Hut you can't do It, you know. It's too late. There's nothing you can do except sit still and growl and glare at your own claws, which a woman has clipped. How do you like the outlook, old l>eur? Do you lie awake at night and study how to save your scheme for the em peror's marriage? All your grumpy old life you've despised women, but now you're beginning at lust to find out that, powerful as you are, there ure some things n woman with tact and money, nice houses and a good nature*! husband can do which the highest statesman In the land can't undo. How soon shall 1 make you admit that, Chancellor Bear?" Thus the baroness, standing at her drawing room window, would amuse herself in odd moments wheu she wus not arranging original and elaborate entertainments for her guests. And she congratulated herself particularly on having had the forethought to In vite Egon von Breltstein, the chancel iur ? 11 it 11 Dniuivr, There was a harrier of thirty-six years' difference iu age between the two, and they bad never beeu friends In the true sense of the word, for the old man was temperamentally unable to sympathize with the tastes or un derstand the temptations of the young er brother, and the younger man was mentally unable to appreciate the qual ities of the elder. Nevertheless it was rumored at court that Iron Heart had more than once used the gay and.good looking cnptali of cavalry for a catspaw in pulling some very hlg and hot chestnuts out of the fire. At all events, "Handsome Egon" (so known among his followers), "the chancellor's jackal" (thus nick named by his enemies), would have found difficulty in keeping up appear ances without the allowance granted by his powerful half brother. The III assorted pair were often in communi cation, and the baroness liked to think that news fresh from I.yndalberg must sooner or later be wafted like a wind blown scent of roses across the water to Sell loss Breitsteln. She was still less displeased than sur prised. therefore, when, the emperor having been three days at Lyndalberg. with two more days of his visit to run, an urgent message arrived for Captain von Breitsteln from his brother. Poor old Lorenz was wrestling with bis enetpy, gout, it appeared, and wish ed for Egon's immediate presence. Such a summons could not tie neg lected. Egon's whole future depended opoD bis half brother's caprice, be hint ed to the baroness in asking leave to desert her pleasant party for a few hours.

Aln-ady many such chances had been arriing'Hl. so cleverly as not to en-lte gossip, and If the tlirtntlon. destined by the hostess to disgust l-eopold w Itti his chancellor's matrlmoulal projects, did not advance h.v leaps and bounds It v as certainly not the fault of Raron ess von Lyudul. "Kgon has been told to use his eyes and ears for all they're worth at I.Jn dallsrg. and now he's called upon to hand In his tlrst report," she ssld to herself when the younger Von llrelt stein was utT on his mission across the lake. Hut for once, at least, the "cbnn cellar's Juekal" was wronged by un just suspicion. He arrived at Scbloas Brcltatelu Ignorant of Ills brother's mo tive in sending for him. though lie shrewdly suspected It to lie something quite different from the one alleged. The chancellor was In his study. ? deep windowed tower room, wlib walls lionk lined nearly to the cross beamed celling. He sat reading a budget of letters w hen Kgon wss oil nouttced. and If he were really III he did not betray Ids suffering The square face with Its beetling brows, eyes of somber fire and forehead l:u presslve as a cathedral dome, showed 110 new lines graven by pain. "Sit down. Kgon," he said abruptly, tearing In half an envelope stamped -Ith the head of Hungarta's king. "I'll lie ready for you In a moment." The young man took the least un comfortable chair In the room, which from his point of view was to say lit tie In Its favor, liecsuse the newest piece of furniture there had lieen made a hundred years before the world un derstood (hat lounging wan not n crime. Over the high stone uinntcl linng n shield, so brightly polished as to ru I till the offleo of n mirror, and from where Kgon sat, perforce upright and rigid, he could see himself vi gnetted lu reflection. lie ndinlred Ills fresh color, which was like a girl's, pointed the waxed ends of his mustache with nervous cigarette stained lingers, and, thinking of many agreeable things, from hac carat to roulette, from roulette to races and races to pretty women, he wonder ed which be had to thank for this sum mons to the ehuncellor. Unfortunately Brother Horens knew everything. One's pleasant peccadillos buzzed to his ears like (lies. There was little hope of deceiving him. Kgon sighed, and Ids eyes turned me chanically from his own visage on shining steel to the letter held In an old hand so veined that It reminded the young man of a roek netted with the sprawling risits of ancient trees. He bad Just time to recognize the writing as that of Adalbert, crown prince of llungarla, whom lie knew slightly, when keen eyes eurtalned with furled and wrinkled lids glanced up from the letter. "It's coming." thought Kgon. "What ran the old chap have found out?" But. to ids surprise, the chancellor's tirst words had no connection with him or Ills misdeeds. "So our emperor Is amusing himself at Kyndalberg?" Kgon's face brightened. He could l>e cunning in emergencies, but tie was not clever, and always he felt himself at a disadvantage with the old states man. Unless lie had a special favor to ask he generally preferred discussing the affairs of others with the chancel lor r_thcr than allowing attention to tie attracted to Ills own. "Oh, yes," he answered brightly. "His majesty is amusing himself uncommonly well. 1 never saw him in as brilliant spirits. Rut you, dear I.orenz?tell uie about yourself. Is your gout"? "The devil take my gout!" Egnn started. "A good thing If he did, provided he left you behind," he retorted, meaning exactly the opposite, as lie often did when trying to measure .<?11,. ..-Itk i " ?1 ?-* '? nn i iivr v iiiim vihm. out- juu ?sent for me"? "Don't tell ine you supposed I sent for you bemuse I wanted consolation or condolence?" "No-o," laughed Elton uneasily. "1 fancied there was some other more pressing reason. But I'm bound In common courtesy to take your sin cerlt.v for granted until you undeceive me." "Hang common courtesy between you and me!" returned the boar. "I've nothing to conceal. 1 sent for you to tell me what mischief that witch cat Mechtllde von I?yndul Is plotting. You're on the s|>ot. Trust you for seeing everything that goes on?the one thing 1 would trust you to do." "Thanks." said Kgon. "Don't thank me yet. however grate ful you may be. But I don't mind hinting that It won't tie the worse for you If for once you've used those One eyes of yours to some useful pur pose." v Kgon was genuinely astonished at this turn of the conversation, us he hud been carefully arming himself against a personal attack from any one of sev eral directions. He sat pointing the sharp ends of his mustache one after the other and trying to remember some striking Incident with which to adorn a more or less accurate narra tlve. "What would you call useful?" he Inquired at last. The chancellor answered, but Indi rectly. "Has the emperor been play ing the fool at I.jndallierg these last few days?" I ? h. ^* .lie.. - "I)o \>>ii waul to make me guilty of leze majesty?" Kgou rained bis eye brows, but In- was recovering presence of mlml. "If by playing the fool, though, you mean falling iu love. why. then, brother. 1 should say he had ?lone little else during the three days, and perhaps even the first of those was not the beginning." j The chancellor growled out a word ' which he would hardly have uttered 1 In the lintiertal presence, particularly I In the connection he suggested. "Let '%ie hear exactly what has l*?en going on from day's end to day's end." be commanded. Kgou grew thoughtful once more. Clearly here was the explanation of the aummona. He waa to he let off easily. It appeared But, suspense re lieved, he wua not ready to be satis fled with negative blessings. "Are you sure It Isn't a hit like tell ing tales out of school?' he objected. "Schoolboys with empty pockets have beeu known to do that." said the chancellor. "But perhapa your pockets aren't empty?eh?' "They're in a chronic state of eunpti neas." groaned Egou. "On the 13th day of October your quarterly allowance will be paid," re marked his brother. "I would Increase the Installment by the amount of B.OOO gulden If that would make It He had Juet time to rrcngntte the uvtt tny. worth your while to talk?and forget nothing but your scruples." "Oh, you know I'm always delighted to please you!" exclaimed Egon. "It's only natural, living the monotonous life you do when you're not busy with the affairs of state, that you should like to hear what goes on in the world outside. Of course I'll gladly do my best as a raconteur." "My dear young man, don't lie," said the chancellor. "The habit is growing on you. You lie even to yourself. By and by you'll iielieve yourself, and then all hope for your soul will be over. What I want to know is how far the emperor has gone In Ills infatuation for this English girl. I'm not afraid to B]>enk plainly to you, so you may safe ly?and profitably?do the same with me. In the first place, I'll put you at your ease by making a humiliating confession. The other night the wom an Von Lyndal tried to 'draw me,' as she would express it, <,.i this subject, and I'm bitterly mortified to say she partly succeeded. She suggested an entanglement lietween I?eopold and the girl. I replied that Leopold wasn't the man to pull down a hornets' nest of gossip around the ears of a young woman who had saved his life. No matter what his inclinations might be. I insisted that he would pay her no repeated visits. "This thrust the fair Mechtllde par ried as if repeating a mere rumor by saying that she believed the girl was to stay at the country house of some old friend of the etni>eror. At the time I attached little Importance to her chatter, believing that she merely wished to give me a spiteful slap or two. as is her habit when she has the chance. For once, though, she has succeeded in stealing a march upon me, and she kept the secret of her plan until too late for me to have any hope of preventing Leopold from fulfilling his engagement at her house. After that was safely arranged 1 don't doubt she was overjoyed that I should guess her plot." "Do you think that even if you'd known sooner you could have stopped the emperor from visiting at I.yudal I berg?" asked Egon. "1 know that you uit" nun, iiiu ill' is suvi. "I would have stopped him," return ed the chancellor. "1 should have made no bones nliotit the reason, for I've found that the best way with I Leopold is to blurt out the whole ( truth and fight him?niy experience against his will. If advice and warn ing hadn't sufficed to restrain him from insulting the girl who is to lie his wife and Injuring the reputation of the girl who never can lie. I would have devised some expedient to thwart him for his own good. I'm not a man | to give up when I feel that I am right." "Neither is he." Egou added, "but since you seem so determined to nip this dainty blossom of love In the bud we'll hope it's not yet too late for a sharp frost to blight It." "I sent for you," said the chancellor, brushing away metaphor with an im patient gesture, "to show me the pre cise spot on which to lay my finger." "I'll do my best to deserve your con fidence," responded Egon gracefully. "Let me see?where shall I begin? Well, as you know. It's simpler for the emperor to see a good deal of the wo man he admires at a friend's house than almost anywhere else in his own country. This particular woman risked her life to save his, and it's so natural for him to lie gracious In return that people would be surprised if he were not. There's so much In their favor at the commencement. "Miss Mowbray and her mother ar rived at Lyndalberg before the era? peror, had made friends there and were ready for the campaign. The girl Is undoubtedly beautiful?the pret tiest creature._ 1 think. 1 eveg^gaw aud sue uas a winning way wrlilch Ink ?* witli women aa well as uieu.

So. are you sure. Lorenz. that you're not taking too serious a view of the affair?" "It can't be taken too seriously, con sidering the circumstance*. I've told you my plans for the emperor's fu ture Prlin-osses nre women, aud gos sip Is hydra headed. When the lady I hears?she who has teen allowed to understand that tie emperor of Khae tla only waits for a suitable opportu- | nlty of formally asking for her hand? for she will surely hear, that he has J seized this very moment for his (Irst liaison. I tell you uelther she nor her people nre likely to accept the state ment meekly. She's half German?on her father's side a cousin not too dis- j tnnt of William II. She's half Eng , llsh on her mother's side related to | the king through the line of the Stu- I arts. And In her there's a dash of | American blood which comes from a famous grandmother who was de j secmled from George Washington, a j man as proud aud with the right to , be as proud as any king. All three j countries would have reason to re- i "Ut such an uugallunt slight from < ithaetla." "The little affair must lie bushed [ up," snld Egon. "It must lie stopped, and nt once," | said the chancellor. "Aoh!" sighed the young man, with i as much meaning In the long drawn breath as the elder might care to read. And If It did not discourage it at least irritated him. "Go on!" he exclaimed sharply. "Go on with your sorry tale!" "After all. when one comes to the telling, there Isn't a very great deal me can put into cut and dried words." ?xplalued Egon. "At table the emperor lias his hostess 011 one side and Ills fair preserver on the other. The two talk j as much together during meals is eti iiuette allows and perhaps a little more. Then, as the emperor has been often at I.yndalberg, he can act as cicerone for a stranger. He has shown Miss Mowbray all the beauties of the place. lie gathers her roses in the rose garden; he has guided her through the grottoes; he has piloted her through j tlie labyrinth; he has told her which tire the liest dogs in the kennels and has given her the history of all the j horses In the baron's stables. I know this from the table talk. He has ex plored the lake with Miss Mowbray and her mother in a motor boat. Per hups you saw the party? And, whether or no lie brought his automobile to I.yndnlherg on purpose, in any case he's had the Mowbraya out in it sev eral times already. One would hardly think he could have found a chance to do so much in such a short time, but our emperor is a man of action. Yes terday we bad a picnic at the Seebach fali to see Thorwaldseu's Undine. Leo pold and Miss Mowbray, being splendid climbers, reached the statue on the height over the fall long before the rest of us. At starting, however, I was close iiehind with the baroness and overheard some joke between the two about a n ountain and a cow. The em peror spoke of milking as a fine art and said he'd lately been taking les sons. They laughed a great deal at Ibis, and It was plain that they were i on terras of comradeship. When a youug man and a girl have a secret understanding, even the most inno cent one, it puts them apart from others. "Last night there were fireworks on the lake. The emperor and Miss Mow bray watched them together, for every thing was conducted most informally. Afterward we had an impromptu co tillon, with three or four pretty new figures invented by the baroness. The emperor gave Miss Mowbray several favors, and one was a buckle of en ameled forgetmenots. This morning there was tenuis. The emperor and Miss Mowbray played together. They were both so skillful it was a pleasure to watch them. At luncheon they ate a double almoud out of one shell, bud a game over it. and Leopold caught Miss Mowbray napping. That brings us to the moment of my coming to you. For the afternoon 1 fancy the baroness was irettinsr un a ridinir nartv. and tliis evening, unless they're too tired, she'll perhaps get up an ama teur concert at which Miss Mowbray will sing * The girl has a delicious voice." "The creature must l>e a fool or an adventuress." pronounced the chancel lor. "If she has kept her senses she ought to know that nothing can come of this folly?except sorrow or scan dal." Egon shrugged bis stiffly padded mil itary shoulders. "I have always found that a woman in love doesn't stop to count the cost." "So! You fancy her "in love" with the emperor T" "With the man rather than the em peror, If I'm a judge of character." "Which you're not!" Iron Heart brusquely disposed of that suggestion. "The merest schoolgirl could pull the wool over your eyes if she cared to take the trouble." "This one doesn't care a rap. She hardly knows that I exist" "Humph!" The chancellor's eyes appraised his young brother's features. | "That's a pity. You might have tried : cutting the emperor out Her affair j with him can have no happy ending, while you. in spite of all your faults, with your good looks, our position and my money, wouldn't lie a had match for au ambitious girl." "Your money?" "I mean should I choose to make you ray heir, and 1 wotvlo cl ^ose if you married to please me. >\ ho are these Mowbray**' "I ha\en't had the curio* : 10 In k ? quire into tnetr antecedents," said Egon. "1 ouly know that they're la dies, that they must he of some conse quei.ee In their own country or they couldn't have Rot the letters of Intro duction they have and that the girl Is the prettiest on earth." "Mechtilde talked to me, I remem ber, a good deal nhout those letters of Introduction." the chuncellor reflected aloud. "But Ithactia is a long cry from England, and letters might be forged. I've knowu such things to be done Fetch me a big red volume you'll find on the third shelf from the floor at the left of the south window. Too can't mlas It. It's Burke's Peer age." Egon rose with alacrity to obey. He was rather thoughtful, for his brother had pnt an entirely new and exciting idea Into his head. Presently the red volume was dis covered and laid on the desk before the chancellor, who turned the leaves over until he found the page desired. Ab his eye fell upon the long line of Mow bravs his face changed, and the bristling brows came together in a grizzled line. Apparently the women were not adventuresses, at least in the ordinary acceptation of the term. There they were. Ills square tipped finger pressed down upon the printed names with a dig that might have sig nified his disposition toward their rep resentatives. "The girl's mother Is the widow of Reginald, sixth Baron Mowbray." the old man muttered half aloud: "son. Reginald Edward, fifteen years of age; daughter, Helen Agusta, twenty-eight. Aha! She's no chicken, this young lady She ought to be a woman of the world." "Twenty-eight!" replied Egon. "I'll eat my hat If she's twenty-eight." "Doesn't she look It by daylight?" "Not an hour over nineteen: might be younger. Jove. I was never so sur prised to leant a woman's age! By the bye. I heard her telling Baron von Lyndal last night, apropos of our great nuacuan victory, mat sne was eleven years old on the day It took place. That would make her about twenty now. When she spoke I remember she pave a look at her mother across the room as though she were frightened. I suppose she was hoping there was no copy of this big red book at Lyndal berg." "That thought might have been in her mind," assented the chancellor, "or else she"? He left his sentence un finished and sat with unseeing eyes fixed in an owlish stare on the open page of Burke. "I should like to know if you really meant what you said about my mar riage a little while ago"?Egon ven tured to attract his brother's attention ?"because if you did"? "If I did" "I might try very hard to please you In my choice of a wife." "Be a little more explicit. You mean you would try to prove to Miss Mow bray that a captain of cavalry In the hand is worth an emperor In the bush ?a bramble bush at that, eh?" "Yes; I would do my best. And, as you say, I'm not without advantages." "You are not. I was on the point of suggesting that you made the most of them in Miss Mowbray's eyes until you brought me this red book." The large forefinger tapped the page of Mowbrays, while two lines which might have meant amusement or a sneer scored themselves on either side of the chancellor's mouth. "And now you've chnnged your mind?" There was disappointment in Egon's voice. "I don't say that. I say only wait. Make yourself as agreeable to the lady as you like. But don't pledge yourself, and don't count upon my promise or my money until you hear again. By that time?well, we shall see what we shall see. Keep your hand in. But wait?wait." "How long am I to wait? If the thing's to be done at all it must be done soon, for meanwhile the emperor makes all the running." The chancellor looked up again from the red book, his fist still covering the Mowbrays as if they were to be ex tinguished. "You are to wait," he said, "until I've had answers to a cou ple of telegrams I shall send tonight." [TO BE COItTWTJED.] Here comes the Spring Winds to chap, tan and freckle.
