. What Has Qoni Birou: '
King Rudolf is drugged on the
eve ofihls coronation, and Rudolf
Rassendyll, Englishman ana
double for the king is persuaded
to take his place at the 8tretsau
ceremonies to thwart the plot of
the king's brother Michael. Complications
ensue when Rassendyll
finds himself falling in love
with Princess Flavla, the king's
intended, and xchcn the king ie
spirited au-au by the conspirators.
Lured into a trap by .Antoinette
do Mauban, Michael's
sweetheart, Rassendyll learns
where the king is being held,
beats off the murderous attack
! of conspirators determined to
put Attn out of the way. After a
touching farewell with Flavia,
RassendyII and his aides set out
for the caefle where the king i?
held prisoner.
Chapter Six
bublltkini a but or operation*
at thr royal hunting lodct, Reese ndyll.
Zapt and Frit*, with a retinue
r their loyal friends, began mappine
the throat on Zenda oaatle.
The king, woundod. wank and
A terrific duel which rt
emaciated, lay In a bleak dungeon
of the farthest receases of the medieval
edifice.
Michael called and tried vainly to
have the monarch sign documents
at abdication, promising him a
handsome competence from his
own civil list if he trov.ld resign
and take up re?i-'~...c across the
border.
"I haven't llve.l r.ke a king,"
Rudolf told him. ' bu - nt least I can
die like one."
At the suggestion Of Michael,
Rupert .made one more effort to
ally Raseendyll. The impudent,
branny fellow wei^t dlrecty to the
hunting lodge, where after dacarch
by the guards, who relieved him of
hie firearms, he waa admitted to
the paeudo-king's presence.
"Raeaendyil," said Rupert, "you're
a man aftei uiji uwn heart. iTmW
ly, you and I aro the only two persona
who arc worthwhile saving in
this whole affair, aren't we? Now
, here is my plan for us. Attack the
castle boldly. Let your friends be in
the lead. Arrange the time with
me. Black Michael will fall. The
King? You don't want to find him.
You won't. That's provided for.
And your friends, if they fail too,
only you and I are left who know
the truth ? understand. I, Rupert
of Hentzau, and you, King of the
Realm."
Rareendyll's insulting laugh at
.this amazing proposition flushed
Rupert with anger.
As Raseendyll turned to repeat
the proposal to Zapt and Frits,
Rupert hurled a dagger, which hissed
past Rnssendyll'6 head and
burled Itself in the wall. Rupert
leaped through an open window to
the back of his horse and escaped.

by Michael's own servant, Johann,
who for a bribe had betrayed hla

mate or the can ing Antoinette had

A' plan of action was epeedlly
mapped out. Rasacndyll wae to
wim the moat alone, cut down the
two guards of tho prisoner and defend
the king until Johann dropped
the drawbridge and allowed the
rescuing party to enter the castle.
A pale moon rode the sky that
night when Rasscndy)!, Frits and
Zapt, accompanied by a score of
their best fighting men bringing up
the rear, waited on tho opposite
bank of the moat.

dropped into the moat and imun
silently and skillfully to the csatlc.:
Jobsnn met him as he emerged'
from the water and guided him to
Antoinette's room, where a glass of
brandy and a heavy sweater were
given him.
Rupert's infatuation for Antoinette
proved the undoing of all the
carefully laid plans. Visiting her in
her boudoir, he was surprised i?y
Michael In the midst of violent lov.omaking,
which Antoinette had encouraged
in the hope of keeping
him occupied and out of the wny
while Rassendyll made his way to
the king.
As Michael relaxed a moment,
while covering Rupert with his
pistol, Hentzau whipped out a con-,
cealed dagger and plunged It info
Michael's heart.
Noticing the great doors to the
windlass alcove were ajar, Hent7
ail went thsii and <
Johann trying to drop the drawbridge.
Putting hie knife to the servant,
Rupert spread the alarm and
rushed for the guardroom.
Rassendyll bad already disposed
of the guards, Kraftatein and Bersonln,
when he turned to find him- *
self covered by Rupert's pistol.
"I really am sorry to finish you
off," said Rupert, oocklng his
pistol.
I "Just a minute," Interrupted
I
get through tho castle.
| Rassendyll; "how do you know but
it's Be rs on in whose body is floating
iq the moat and not tho king?Can't
we have a smoke while we talk it
over?"
Rupert pulled out his clgaretto
case, half suspecting a trick, and
loosed it over.
"Half of mv kingdom for a
match, Hentsau." ,
Holding the cocked pistol in bis
right, Rupert fished in his left
hand and threw him a packet or I
matches. In catching the matches,
Rasendyll dropped the cigarette
case by an overturned chair. He
bent as if to pick up the case. '
"Never mind that!" barked
Rupert.
But be was a split second too
late. Rossendyll picked up the chair,
dashed at Rupert, who fired wildIj
as?tiro Chair' Knocked ino gun
from his hand. Both men picked up
sabers, the handiest weapons avail*
able and began a terrific duel which
raged throughout the tunnels and
pellar of the castle. Fighting at
corps-a-corps, each man tried to
smash tho other's face with his
Bword hiit. and in the desperate
tight-lipped struggle, they finally
crashed down on the floor besides
the windlass.
With a final furious effort, Ras- '
sendyll rolled on top of Rupert
and with a slosh, cut the rope. Tho
drawbridge dropped with a tcrrifio
clatter. As the sound of the rescuers'
horees crossing tho bridge
reached Rupert's ears, he leaped
through a window Into tho moat
and swam away into the darkness,
making good his escape. The king;
although badly hurt, was saved.
Rassendyll's masquerade was ever.
Now came the ordeal of facing
Slavic.
For one mad moment, they talked
of running away togother, "I love
your madness, dear, for one lovely
moment, I too was mad. But is
lova the only thing? If it were 1
could follow you to the end of the
world. I don't know why Qod has
let me love you, but I know that I
must stay.
"I think God shows his purposes
to such as you," said Kasseudyll.
Zapt and Fritz escorted him to
tho border. There were tears In the
eyes of both as they bade him
goodby.
"Goodby Englishman," said stern
old Zapt. "you'ro the finest Elphberg
of them all."
