But you must be as civil as butter to the cardinal. We hope to win him over because he and Michael have a standing quarrel about their precedence." -Y We were by now at the station. Fritz had' recovered nerve enough to explain to the astonished station master that the king had -changed his plans.

The train steamed up. We got Into a first class carriage, and Sup, leaning back on the cushions; went on with bis lesson. I looked at my watch the king's watch It was, of course. It was just 8. "I wonder If they've gone to look for us," I said.

"I Hope they won't find the king," said Fritz nervously, and this time It was Sapt who shrud bis shoulders. The train traveled well, and at half-past 0, looking out of the window, I saw the towers and spires of a great city. "Your capital, my liege," grinned old Sapt with a wave of his hand, and, leaning forward, he laid his finger on my pulse. "A Httle too quick," said he In his grumbling tone. "I'm not made of stoue'i" I exclaimed.

"You'll do," said he, with a nod. "We must say Fritz here has caught the ague. Drain your flask, Fritz, for heaven's sake, boy." Fritz did as he was bid. "We're an hour early," said Sapt. "We'll send word forward of your majesty's arrival, for there'll be no one here to meet us yet.

And meanwhile" "Meanwhile," said I. "the klng'll be hanged If be doesn't have some breakfast" Old Sapt chuckled and held out his band. "You'ro an Elphberg, every inch of you," said be. Then he paused- and, looking at us, said quietly, "God send we may be alive tonight!" "Amen!" said Fritz von Tarlenhelm. The train stopped.

Fritz and Sap! leaped out, uncovered and held the door for me. I choked down a lump that rose In my throat, settled my hel met firmly on my head and (I'm not ashamed to say it) breathed a shor! prayer to God. Then I stepped ou the platform of the station at Strelsau, A moment later all was bustle ami confusionmen hurrying up, hats in hand, and hurrying off ngr.in; men con ducting me to the buffet; men mounting and riding in hot haste to the quarters of the troop3, to the cathedral, to the residence of Duke Michael.

One passenger and one officer are known to have been ANTHONY HOPE CopyrldhVed. 1594. 1898, CHAPTER IV. JHETHEK I had slept a minute or a year I knew hot' I awoke with ft start and a shiver.

My face, hair and clothes dripped water, and opposite me stood old Sapt a sneering smile on his face and an empty bucket in bis hand. Ob the table by him sat Fritz von Tar-lenhelm, pale as a ghost and black" as a crow under the eyes; I leaped to my feet in anger. "Your Joke goe3 too far, sir!" I cried. "Tut, man, we've no tlmo for quarreling. Nothing else would rouse you.

Ifs 5 o'clock." "I'll thank you, Colonel I be-ban again, hot in spirit, though I was wommouly cold In body. "Rassendyll," interrupted Fritz, getting down from the table and taking my arm, "look here." The king lay full length on the floor. His face was red as his hair, and he breathed heavily. Sapt, the disrespectful olds dog, kicked him sharply. He did not stir, nor was there any break In his breathing.

I saw that his face and head were wet with water, as were mine. "We've spent half an hour on him," tald Fritz. "He drank three times what either of you did," growled Sapt I knelt down and felt his pulse. It was alarmingly languid and slow. We three looked at one another.

"Was it drugged-that last bottle?" asked in a whisper. "I don't know," said Sapt "We must get a doctor." "There's none within ten miles, and Jk thousand doctors wouldn't take him "Was It druggedt" to Strelsau today. I know the look of It' He'll not move for six or seven ours yet." "But the coronation I cried in hor-: ror. Fitz shrugged his shoulders, as I Sfaii to see was his habit on most must send word that he's ill," be said. "I suppose so," said I.

Old Sapt who seemed as fresh as a daisy, had lit his pipe and was puffing hard at it "If he's not crowned today," said he, "I'll lay a crown he's never crowned." heavens, why?" "The whole nation's there to meet him half the army, aye, and Black Michael at the head. Shall we semi word that the king's drunk?" "That he's 111," said I in correction. "Ill echoed with a scornful laugh. "They know his illnesses too 1 1 TTa'h' Waam fill, 1 tvvii. uo0 uvcu in ueiure.

"well, we must chance what they think," said Fritz helplessly. "I'll carry the news and make the best of If Sapt raised his hand. "Tell me," -think king was "I do," said "And who drugged him?" "That hound, Black' afteh- Fritz between his teeth. "Aye," said Sapt, "that he might not come to be crowned. Rassendyll here doesn't know our pretty.

Michael. WbaU think you, Fritz has Michael no vcYtS ready? Has half Strelsau no other candidate? As God's alive, man. the throne's lost If th.e king show, him-seir, not in Stretaau t6dayT Know 'Black Michael." "We. could carry him there," said I. "And a 'very pretty picture makes!" sneered Sapt Fritz von Tarlenhelm burled his face in his hands.

The king breathed loudly and Sapt sOrred him again with his foot. "The drunken dog!" he said. "But he's an Elphberg and the son. of his father, and may I rot before Black Michael sits in his placer For a- moment or tw we were all Silent' Then Sapt knitting his bushy gray brows, took' his pipe from his mouth and said to me: "As a man grows old he believes In Fate. Fate sent you here.

Fate sends you now to Strelsau." I staggered back, murmuring, "Good God!" Frits looked up with an eager, bewildered gaze. "Impossible!" I muttered. "I should be a rlsk-egainst a certainty," laid Sapt. "If you shave, rii wager I ou'll not be known; Are sou afraid?" I "Come, lad there, But UV your life, yon know, if you're tenown and mine and Fritz's by Henry Holt Company you don't go I swear to' 'yon Black Michael will alt tonight on the throne and the king He In prison or his grave." "The king would never forgive It," 1 stammered. YY "Are we women? Who cares for his forgiveness?" The clock ticked fifty times, and sixty and seventy as I stood In thought Then I suppose a look came over my face, for old Sapt caught me by the hand, crying: "You'll "Yes; I'll go," said and I turned my eyes on the prostrate figure of the king on the floor.

Sapt went on In a hasty whisper, "we are to lodge In the palace. The moment they leave us' you and I will mount our horses Fritz must stay here and guard the king's room and ride here at a gallop. The king will be ready Josef will tell him and he must ride back with me to Strelsau, aud you ride as if the devil were behind yon to the frontier." I took it all in in a second and nodded my head. "There's a chance," said Fritz, with his first sigu of hopefulness. "If I escape detection," said I.

"If we're detected," said Sapt, "I'll send Black Michael down below before I go myself, so help me heaven! Sit In that chair, man." I obeyed him. He darted from the room, calling, "Josef, Josef!" In three minutes he was back, ati Josef with him. The latter carried a jug of hot water, soap and razors. He was trembling as Sapt told him how the land lay and bade him shave me. Suddenly Fritz smote on his thigh: "But the guard! They'll know! They'll know!" "Pooh! We shan't wait for the guard.

We'll ride to Hofban and catch a train ihere. When they come the bird flown." "But the king?" 1 "The klug will be In the wine cellar. I'm going to carry him there now." "If they find him?" "They won't. How should they? fosef will put them off." "Bur- Sapt stamped his foot "We're not playing," he roared. 'Don't I know the risk? If they do Ind him he's no worse off than If he sn't crowned today In Strelsau." So speaking, he flung the door open md, stooping, put forth a strength I lid not dream he and lifted the ring in his hands.

And as be did so ihe old woman, Johann, the keeper's mother, stood in the doorway. For a moment she stood, then she turned on her heel without a sign of surprise and Mattered down the passage. "Has she heard?" cried Fritz. "Fll shut her mouth!" said Sapt grimly and Jie bore off the king in bis arms. For me, I sat down in an armchair, and as I satHhere, hall dazed, Josef clipped and scraped Ttfi'l my mus- Cache and imperial wel things of the past ami my face was ys bare as the king's.

And when Fritz saw me thus he drew a long breath aud exclaimed: "By Jove, we shall do it!" It was 6 o'clock now, and we had nc time to lose. Sapt hurried me Into the king's room, and I dressed myself In the uniform of a colonel of the guard, finding time as I slipped on ihe king's boots to ask Sapt what he had donf with the old woman. "She swore she'd heard nothing," said he, "but to make sure I tied her together and put a handkerchief her mouth and bound her hand? and ocked her up In" the coal cellar next loor to the king. Josef '11 look after hem both later on." Then I burst out laughing, and even ld Sapt grimly smiled. "I fancy," said be, "that when Josef veils them the king is gone they'll think Is because we smelt a rat For you nay swear Black Michael doesn't ex-ect to see him in Strelsau today." I put the king's helmet on my head.

)ld Sapt handed me the king's sword, looking at me long and carefully. "Thank God, be shaved his beard ie exclaimed. "Why did her' I asked. "Because Princess Flavia said grazed her cheek when he was gra; aiously pleased to -give her a cousinly dss. Come, though, we must ride." -is nn shib nerer- "Nothing's safe anywhere," said Japt, t'but we can make It no safer." Fritz now rejoined us in the uniform 7t a captain, In the same regiment as that to which my dress belonged.

In four minutes Sapt had arrayed himself, in his uniform. Josef called that the horses were ready. We jumped on their backs and started at a rapid trot The game had begun. What would the issue of it be? The cool morning air cleared my head, and I was able to take in all Sapt said to me. He was- wonderful.

Fritz hardly spoke, riding like a man asleep, but Sapt without another woid for the king, began at once to Instruct me most minutely In the history of my past life, of my family, of my tastes, pursuits, weaknesses, friends, companions and servants. He told me the etiquette of the Rurltanla court promising to.be constantly atmy elbow to point out everybody whom I ought to know and give me hints with what degree of favor to greet them. 3By the way," he said, "you are a Catholic, I suppose?" "Not I answered. "Lord, he's a heretic!" groaned Sapt and forthwith he fell to a rudimentary lesion he practices and observances died at her home Wednesday. She was the guests of Mr.

The discussion of libel laws at the Kentucky Press association ought to arouse the press to activity in behalf of a reasonable law. Newspapers are usually too busy fighting other people's battles that they payittle at tention to their own interests.

Every candidate for the legislature is anx ious to have the support of some newspaper," but thus far the news papers have not been able to secure the enactment of a fair libel law. They are still exposed to the Injustice which grows out of the existence of a pestiferous class of lawyers and a II bel law that is grossly unfair. One of the great curses of Kentucky to day is the lawyer who seeks litigation, and the newspapers are his principle victims. It may be too much to hope that the bar will purge itself of those who violate one of the first principles of Its but if the press will exert Its Influence It has the power to secure the enactment of a fair law at the next session of the legislature, The newspapers ought not to abuse whatever power they have by advancing their own interests at the public expense, and once the matter la fairly put before the- public there will be no objection to the changes they ask. No reputable newspaper objects to re sponsibility for its utterances and the press should not have an unbridled license to assail private Individuals.

What is true of conditions in Kentucky apply generally. The newspapers, or at least a great majority ot them, constantly assail the trusts, but they never accomplish anything to protect themselves against the particular trusts with which they are compelled to do business. Practically everything a newspaper buys is purchased from a trust and several If not all of these trusts: depend entirely upon tariff duties. Yet the press has made no concerted effort to get rid of these burdens. The newspaper pub-publisuer, when he feels the injustice he is compelled to endure from many sources, Is, not apt to have an exalted opinion of his power.

If the newspapers actually have great power- it is In the behalf of the public rather than for Eventually the newspaper publishers will get together, and when they do they will make an- effective effort, not only to protect themselves against shyster libel lawyers, but against many oth er burdns they are compelled carry- They constantly preach co-o: eration for the advancement of DiibHc Interests, but they have yetf to learn to make an effective organlza tlon for their own protection.
