She glam-ed at him with un- aflecred welcome. but with the air cf one who was looking upon his face for the first time. He could not again approach within Speaking distance of the princess. nor did he presume to make the efrnrt. Chase knew his proper place. She was the gayest. the most vivacious being in the whole assemblage. She had but to stretch out her hand or project her smile and every man in touch with the spell was ready to drop at her feet. At last she led her court 03 toward the pavilion under which the royal orchestra was playing As if it were a signal. every one turned his step: it. that direction. Chase and the Ena- lishman had been conversing diligently with an ancient countess and her two attractive daughters near the fountain. u.““v-â€"" â€"7 .7 Again the dapper director came for- ward to lead the musicians. and again V'Illu vv uvâ€"â€" __ he was most enthusiastically received. This time Chase was not where he could watch the princess. He found. therefore. that he could devote his at- tention to the music and the popular conductor. He was amazed to and that the fellow seemed to be inspired. He was also surprised to find himself carried away by the fervor of the moment. With the final crash of the orchestra he found himself shouting again with the others. Oddly, this time he was In mad as they. A score or more of surprised. disapproving eyes were turned upon him when he yelled “En- “There will be no encore." admon- ished the fair girl at his side kindly. “It is not New York.” she added. with a sly smile.

The; lazily observed the approach of one couple. attracted no doubt by the disparity in the height of the two shadows. The man was at least half a head shorter than lils companion. but his ardor seemed a thousandfold more vast. Chase was amused by the ap- parent lntenslty of the small officer’s devotion. especially as it was met with a coldness that would have chilled the fervor of a man much larger and therefore more timid. It was impossi- ble to see the faces of the couple until they passed through a moonllt streak in the walk quite close at hand. ”Chase started and grasped his com- panion’s arm. One was the Princess Genevra andâ€"was it possible? Yes. the nimble conductorâ€"the sensation of the hour. the musical lion! More- over. to Chase's cold horror. the “little freak" was actually making violent love to the divinity of Rapp-Thorberg! The princess had not seen the two men. nor had the fervent conductor, whose impassioned French was easily distinguishable by the unwilling lis- teners. The sharp, indignant “No" of the princess, oft repeated. did much to relieve the pain in the heart of her American admirer. Finally, with an unmistakable cry of anger. she halted not ten feet from where Chase sat. as though he had become a part of the stone rail. "I have asked you not to touch me. sir! Is not that enough? if you per- sist i shall be compelled to appeal to my father again. The whole situation is loathsome to me. Are you blind? Can you not see that i despise you? I will not endure it a day longer. You promised to respect my wishes." LIAL "How can I respect a promise which condemns me to purgatory every tlme 1 see you?” he cried passionately. “I adore you. You are the queen of my life, the holder of my soul. Geneva. Genevra, I love you! My soul for one tender word. for one soft caress! Ah. do not be so cruel! I will be your slave!” “Enough! Stop. 1 say! If you dare to touch me!” she cried. drawing away from her tormentor. her voice trem- bling wlth anger. The little conduct- or’s manner changed on the lnstant. He gave a snarl of rage. â€"â€"A_ AAâ€" â€"v -“ “By hehven, I’ll mike you pay for this some day: You shall learn what a man can do with a woman such as you are! hm”â€" Aâ€".' ‘m-_‘ Just at that moment a tail figure leaped from the shadows and confront- ed the quivering musician. A heavy hand fell upon his collar, and he was almost Jerked from his feet. halt choked. halt paralyzed with alarm. Not a word was spoken. Chase whirled the presumptuous suitor about until he faced the gates to the garden. Then, with more force than he realiz- ed, he applied his boot to the person of the offenderâ€"once, twice. thrice! 71E; fiafieess stared. wide eyed and unbelievlng. upon the brief tragedy. She saw her tormentor hqued vicious- iy toward the gates and then. with new alarm, saw him pick himself up from the ground. writhing with pain and anger. His sword flushed from its scnbhard as. with s scream of rage, he dashed upon the tall intruder. She saw Chaseâ€"even in the shadows she Eew'hlm to he the Americanâ€"she saw Chase lightly leap aside, avoiding the thrust for his heart. Then, as it he were playing wlth a child. he wrest- ed the weapon from the conductor- hund. snapped the blade in two pleces and threw them of! into the bushes. “ékip!” was his only word. It was a command that no one in Raw-Thor- berg ever had heard before. “You shall pay for this!” screamed the conductor, tugging at bla collar. “Scoundrel! Dog! Bent! lWhat do you mean? Murderer!

The thought burst from his tips before he could prevent: "I don’t believe you want to marry him. He Is the duke’s choice. You”- “And I am the dukp's daughter." she said steadily. a trmr-h of hautpur in her voice. “Good night. Goodby. I am not sorry that It has happened." She turned and left them. walking swiftly among the trees. A moment later her voice came from the shad- ows. quick and pleading. “Haéten.” she called softly. “They are coming. 1 can see them." “It's a devil of a mess." sighed Baggs when they were far from the walls. “I'm sure it will cost you your Job, if nothing else. You’ll be relieved before tomorrow night. my word for it. And you’ll be lucky 11 that's all. The duke‘s a terror. 1 don’t tor the life of me see how you failed to know who the chap really 13." ‘An Englishman never sees I joke man it is too late, they any. This time it appears to be the American who in slow witted. What I don’t un- defltand is why he was leading that confounded band.” “My word, Chase, everybody in Eu-l rope, except you.‘ knows that Brabetz is a crank about musicâ€"composes, dl rects and all that. He’ s a confounded little bounder just the same. He’s mad about music and women and doesn’t care a hang about wine-the worst kind, don’t you know. I say it's a shame she has to marry him. But that's the way of it with royalty, old chap. You Americans don’t understand it They have to marry one another whether they like it or not. But. I say, you’d better come over and stop with me tonight. it will be better if they don’t find you just yet." Three days later a man came down to relieve Chase uf his omce. He was unceremoniously supplanted in the duchy of Rappâ€"Thorberg. It was the successful pleading of the Princess Genevm that kept him from serving a period in durance vile.
