his admirers, , the "Lion of the North."

of the Volga a niece of Baron Gortz.
So powerful was the impression she at
once made upon the hitherto impregna
ble heart of the hero, to completely was
be spellbound in her charms, that he
seemed to lose all recollection of other
matters, even of the disastrous battle of
Pultowa.
The name of this enchantress was the
Princess Ik la for she was a princess.
her mother, the baron's sister, having
married the Hetman of the Tartars. Be
ing left an orphan at an early age, ' she
had taken up her residence with Baron
Gortx at Stralsund. r
The baron was a bit of a historian or
he thought he was and was then en
gaged in writing a history of the king,
wno cauea upon him often to revise and
correct the work. Besides, the baron
was one of the crown councillors, and
was often entrusted with important bus
iness of the state.
Charles the XII had that desire which
seems to be inherent in the breast of
greatness he wished to bo loved for
himself alone, without regard to his state
and grandeur. Consequently, he had
himself presented to Ikla under the sim
ple title cf Count d'Olfen, and in that
name he paid his court to the erratic
princess, tor her Tartar blood made her
conventionalties,

that she had the blood of the Gortzes
full in her veins, and was no more a Tar
tar tnan be was : and there was not
much of the Kalmuck about him.
Baron Gortz was hiehly delighted at
the prospect' of becoming the uncle of
the king ; but that delight was tempered
by a wholesome dread 01 his prospective
nephew-in-law. For, stripping off the
dazzling veil of his military glory, he
must acknowledge that the "Lion of the
North" was an unmitigated tyrant, and
ruled his subjects in a very arbitrary
manner.
Baron de Gortz had proof of this one
day, when be received a letter from the
king. It contained these words :
"Baron Gortz : Information has reach
ed me that the Captain of Hulans, Gus
tavus Reinold, who was condemned to
death for neglect of orders at the battle
of Pultowa. but who escaped before the
execution 01 nis sentence, nas oeen seen
in Stralsund. Write instantly to the
governor: tell him we hold him responsl
ble for the apprehension of this ' traitor.
Within five minutes of his being taken
and identified let him be BhoL And the
person in whose house he shall be found
shall be forthwith shot. Charles.
This letter troubled the good baron
6orely, for his niece bad made him prom-
ise to intercede tor this identioai young
onloer. te broke into a cold perspira
tion .when he reflected that if be did so
the probability -was that he would get
himself shot tor his pains. He wished in
his heart that the' king and Ikla were
married, because then he should be his
uncle, and he-would never think of shoot
ing one of the royal family.
no wrote the oraer to the governor,
and sent U by t aeryaDt, who informed
him that an officer of the police wished
to speak with him. Wondering at this
he hurried to the hall below. - On his
return: he found Ikla,' a sylph id, dark-
haired, dark-eyed gypsy of a woman, ga

that he was in a state of perturbation.

The baron uttered a dismal groan.

wore the uniform of his .favorite regi

gold, and the corners of the skirts turned
baek; high .boots of black . leather, to
which a formidable pair of spurs was at
tached ; a three-cornered black hat :
black stock ; buff gauntlets, and heavy
sword. He looked more like a 1 warrior
equipped for the field than a- fond lover
seeking his lady's bower.
' He felt like a-timid school boy in the'
presence of bis exquisite beauty, who bad
stormed the outworks of his heart, and
penetrated to the very citadel. Would
any one believe 'that he was Charles the
Twelfth ? 'V
In her torn, Ikla also had her1 reflec

"How do you know 7 ' she asked aroh-

"1 think I know him.' ..
"You might as well say you think you

"How T be said, suspiciously., ::
"Which no man does."
"Oh, I know . you, at all events.. ; I

"Ikia, 1 generally get the best of it at

"I must have proof oi your love before

"Certainly I would." - , . .
"Don't make any rash promises."

Ikla laughed gleefully, went into an
adjoining room, and : brought forward an
antique costume, such as bad been worn
by the dames of fifty years ago. :":
"1 have the greatest desire to see now
you would look dressed as ; my grand
mother, she cried. ,
The king waa appalled.
"Death and the devr" he began ,
"Oh, fie I no swearing in a lady's pres

am . glad that I have discovered what
your love amounts to." . ..

She then dressed . him in the - heavy
brocade dress, and then .tied the high,
starched cap tightly under his chin.
"Faugh 1" he cried in: disgust, "this
dress makes me smell like a musk-rat." v
"You don't like perfumes, then ?"
"No yes: one gunpbwder 1 , Vm like

Ikla fervently. , -. .'..J-r? -
He regarded her in pleased surprise.
"What, are you in love with the king!"
Obi dear, no! Only one might be in
clined to sacrifice one's self for the good
of one's country.
Charles Smiled grimly. . ; ?
"You are vastly condescending," be re
plied. "And, pray, what else would you
do for the good of your country T '
"I would , souen . , his cnaracter. l
