An enormous golden bed with gor geous . hangings stood far down the room.. 80 hog was this roysl couch that Truxton it first overlooked the figure sitting bolt upright In the middle of It An old woman advanced from the bead of the couch and motioned Trux ton to approach. "I am deeply honored, your hlgbA ness," said the Tlaitor, bowing rery low. The prince's legs were now hanging orer the edge of the bed. Ills eyes were dancing with excitement "I want yon to find Uncle Jack. ir. "THEN OOODBT, AND GOD BLESS TOTJ," SAID TRTJXTON. "Here's something for you to take with you, Mr. King. It's my lucky stone. It always gives good luck." He unclasped his small fingers. In the damp palm lay one of those pe culiarly milky, half transparent peo ples common the world over and of value only to small, impressionable boys. Truxton accepted it with pro found gravity. "And when you come back, Mr. King, I'm going to knight you. I'd do It now, only Aunt Loraine says you'd be worrying about your title all the time and might be 'stracted from your mission. I'm going to make a baron of you. That's higher than a count In Graustark. Vos Engo is only a count." Truxton started. "I shall be overwhelmed," he said. Then his hand went to his mouth in the vain effort to cover the smile that played there. "My mother used to say that Amer ican girls liked titles," said the prince. with ingenuous candor. "Prince Robin, may I" he glanced uneasily at the distant nurse "may I ask how your Aunt Loraine is feel Ing?" "She acted very funny when I sent for you. I'm worried about her. "What did she do. your highness V "She rushed off to her room. think, Mr. King, she was getting ready to cry or something. You see, she's in trouble." 'She's worried about her brother, of course, and you." I Just wish I could tell you No, I won't It wouldn't be fair." Bobby said, checking himself resolutely. She's awful proud of youT I'm sure she likes you. Mr. King." "I'm very, very glad to hear that." Truxton bent his knee. "Your high ness, as it seems I am not to see her and as you seem to be the very best friend I have, I should very much like to ask a great favor of you. Will you take this old ring of mine and wish it on her finger just as soon as I have left your presence?" "How did you know she was com ing In again?" in wide eyed wonder. 'Excuse me. I shouldn't ask ques tions. What shall I wish?' It was the old ring that had come from Spantz's shop. The prince promptly hid it beneath the pillow. "I'll leave that to you. my best of friends." "I bet it'll be a good wish, all right. I know what to wish." "Then, goodby and God bless you," said Truxton. "I must be off. Your Uncle Jack is waiting for me up there In the hills." Truxton found Mr. Hobbs in a state bordering on collapse with Colonel Quinnox and Haddan. "I say, Mr. King, there's no more chance of getting out of the" "Listen, Hobbs, we're going to swim out," said Truxton. "Swim! Ob. I say! By hokey, he's gone clean daffy!" Hobbs was eying him with alarm. "Not yet Hobbs. Later on, perhaps. I had occasion to make a short tour of investigation this afternoon. Doubt less, gentlemen, you know where the water gate Is. back of the castle. Hobbs, you and I will sneak nnder that slippery old gate like a couple of eels. I forgot to ask if yon can swim." "To be sure I csn. Under the gate! My word.1 "I seer cried Quinnox. "It csn be done! No one will be watching at that point" The sky was overcast the night as black as ebony. The four men left the officers' quarters at 1 o'clock, making their wsy to the historic old gate in the glen below the castle. "God be with you," said Quinnox fervently. The four men shook bands, and King slipped Into the water with out a moment's hesitation. -Right after me. Hobbs." he said, and then his bead went nnder. A minute later he and Hobbe were on the outside of the gate, gasping for breath. Standing In water te their necks. Quinnox and Haddan passed the equipment through the barred open ings. .
