This created a great deal of excited feeling, both in England and in Germany, and resulted in the mobilization of a flying cquadron by Great Britain. There were raâ€" mors that the captured officers were to be ghot, but this proved to _ be unfounded ; at least President Kruâ€" ger promised to turn them over to Great â€" Rritain or punishment, an act which was recognized as unexâ€" pectediy generous under the cirecumâ€" stances. * Dr. Jameeon and ‘*the other _ ofâ€" Dr. Jameson and ‘thée OtNer _ Olâ€" ficers were eventually taken . to Great Britain, where they were reâ€" ceived with entbusiasm by the people. Dr. Jameson was tried beâ€" fore a court "at bar," a form of criminal inquiry seldom employed in the British courts in these days. Esâ€" tablished in the Yiays when the courts of Great Britain were not so free from political and social bias as they are toâ€"day, it was intended to insure justice to the acâ€" cusel.

The captain and I were sitting at our evening meal, when a servant suddenly appeared_ and whispered in my car that his Majosty had come back and was waiting for mo in the little library where he was in the babit of working. 4 The message frightened me so that my knees trembled under me; and whon I stood before the King he at orce read tyo secret i1 my face. "Where is the Countess ? Why did you let her go ?" he asked in the clear, cold voice which always preâ€" codea an outburst ofi wrath. "Your Majesty."

However, he wished to convince himself of the true state of alfairs and together we stepped out on the terrace. % The night was dark as pitch, bat in the heart of the forest there apâ€" peared between the trees a reddish â€" ‘"That is Albert‘s campfire," said the King, abruptly.

"Your Majesty must not sleep in your own room toâ€"night," I venâ€" tured. "In my grand{athor‘s time there was a subterranean passage which went upder the lake," he remarked, as he went to inspect the sentinels. "I would give a thousmand florins to knowm if it still exists." The King did now lack courage, as we all know who have served him. I shall never forget ‘how he looked that night as he Btood before me in his blue uniform of huzzars, erect and proud, ready to fling a jest in the face of death. He knew( as well as I what would happen if he fell into the hards of Albert‘s men. Who could have siept after all this? Not Hubert von Hausach, at any rate. I still remember how, when the King had gone to bed in the red chamber, I took out my old uniâ€" form of dragoons, buckled on my sword, and loaded my pistols. Then I went into the auteroom in order to be near him should anything hapâ€" The hours crept on slowlyâ€"more slowly than ever in my life before. The steps of the snetinel were the only sound that broke the stillness. In vain I tried to persuade myself that the castle could not be stormed by a band of highwaymen. * Sudderly I heard a scream. I afâ€" terward learned that it came from little Marie, who had been torn out of her sleep to be carried up into the mountains. 5+ i%e Put where others had entered othâ€" ers might follow, and there were alâ€" ready two of them in the room. I |lraft them to the King and ran to the window. Fure enough! There was another hanging at the end of a rope. With a stroke of my sword I cut it, and l the man fell, like a stone, a hundred feot to the bottom of the ravine. I sprang to the door and called| to the sentinel. There was no reâ€" ply. A pistol shot flashed through the darkness and showed me our guards dying &n the corridor and a crowd of strange men with swords and pistols in their hands. In the conâ€" lusion we heard cries of "The King ! The King !" 4 ontng t oyy t I slammed the door and swung into plage the heavy iron bars.

A Suddenly the large window was torn off its hinges and a man with a rope about his waist came tumâ€" bling in. It was bne of Albort‘s men. They must have let him dowa from the tower apove the room. . He fired at the King, but with a stroke on his arm I doeflected the bullet, and before he could fire anâ€" other shot the King had felled him with the butt of his pistol. C *R Wyen I turned to the King. Two men lay dead at his feet and he was standing with the third before him, at the other end of the room near the portrait of his father. Fascinated, I stood watching tne. King‘s swordâ€"play. Albert‘s mon were still working at the outer door, What good would it do us t tne King should conquer â€" this fos ? Death awaited us in the corridor. The clumsy fencing of the bandit rejoiced my heart, and I laughed aloud when his blade struck in the panel behind the old King‘s porâ€" trait. Toe {cFow threw an evil glance at me, but it was his last, for his Maj>ty‘s thrust was quick and sure. The man fell, frothing at the mouth.

The bandit had thrust his sword in« to the forgotten door leading to the passage to the vaults. ‘The sword must have touched a secret spring, or tthe wood was rotten with age.
