CHAPTER XVII — Continued
"I have It!" Mid he at lut with
hie eye on the misty plain of night
with Its twinkling pin-points of Ere
which were the watebflrea of the
enemy -
' The three men stirred a little to In-
dicate attention but did not speak -"Listen"
he Mid "and do apt in
terrupt You must deliver me up 1
am the cause of ear— J the Duchess
Joan Hear you! 1 1 have a huaband
Who make war because I contemn his
bed and board He bu summoned the
Muscovite to help- him to woo me
Well if I am to bsjtlven up it is for
us to stipulate that the armies be
withdrawn Erst beyond the Alla and
then as far as Courtland I will go
with them they will not End me out
—at least not till they are back in
their own land”
“What matter?" cried Balt “They
would return as soon as they discov-
ered the cheat”
"Let us sink or swim together” said
Hussite Oeorge "We want no talk
of surrendef!"
But grey dry Alt Plkker said noth-
ing weighing all with a Judicial mind
' "No they would not come back”
said the gparhawk "or at worst we
would have time— that is you would
have time— to revictual Kernsberg to
Eli the tanks and reservoirs to sum
' non in the hillmcn They would soon
learn that there had been ho Joan
within the city but the one they had
f carried back with them to Courtland
Plassenburg slow to ’ move would
r have time to bring up its men to pro-
tect Its borders from the Muscovite
All good chances are possible if only
1 I am out of the way Surrender me
but by private treaty and not till you
have seen them Mfe across the fords
of the Altai"
' i “Nay God’s truth!” cried the three
“that we will not do! They would kill
! you by slow torture as soon as they
‘ found out that they had been tricked
“Well” said the Bparhawk slowly
“but by that time they would have
been tricked" -
- Then Alt Plkker spoke In his turn—
"Men” he said "this Dane Is a man
—a better than any of us There is
wisdom in what he Mys Te have
heard in church how priests preach
concerning One who died for the peo-
pie Here Is one ready to die— if no
- better may be— for the people!” - s
"And for our Duchess Joan!” said
the 8parhawk taking his hat from US
head at the name of his lady
"Our Lady Joan! Ay that Is It!”
said the old man “We would all glad-
ly die in battle for our lady We have
' done more— we have risked our own
honor' and her favor in order to con
' vey her away from these dangers Let
the boy be given up and that he go
not alone without fit attendance
will go with him his chamberlain”
CHAPTER XVIII'
The 'Greeting of the Princess Mir-

- They were making terms concern-
' lng treaty of delivery thus
"When the last Muscovite - hM
crossed the Alla when the men of
Courtland stand ready Jo follow-
then and not sooner we will deliver
up our Lady Joan For this we shall
receive from you Louis' Prince of
Courtland fifty hogshead nf wine sis
hundred wagonloads of good wheat
and the four great iron cannon now
standing before the 8tralsund Gate
This all to be completed before we of
Kernsberg hand our Lady over

dally deserting his colors la order to
go back to protect their wives and
daughters from the Cog sacks of the
Don and the Strellts of Little Russia
- Moreover he wanted that proud
wench his wife Without heraa his
prisoner he dared not go back to bis
capital city He had sworn an oath
before ' the people For the rest
Kernsberg Itself could welt Without
a head it would soon fall in and be-
sides he flattered himself that he
would so sway and influence the Duch-
ess when he once had her safe in his
palace by the mouths of Alla that
she would repent her folly and at no
distant day sit knee by knee with him
on his throne of state in the audience
hall when the suitors came to dead
concerning the law
And even his guest Prince Ivau was
complaisant standing behind Louis’s
chair and smiling Jo himself
"Brother of mine” he would My' "I
came to help you to your wife It Is
your own affair bow you take her and
what you do with her when you get
her For me as soon as you have her
Mfe within the summer palace and
have given me according to promise
my heart’s desire your sister Mar-
garet so soon will I depart for Mos-
cow My father indeed sends dally
posts praying my Instant despatch for
he only waits my return to launch a
host upon his enemy the King of Po-
lognla” '
And Prince Louis reaching over
the - arm of his chair patted his
friend’s small sweet-scented hand
thanked him for his most unselfish
and generous assistance
Thus the toaguer of Hohenstein At-
tained its object Price Louis had
not it is true stormed the heights of
Kernsberg as he had sworn to do
He had in fact left behind him to
the traitors who delivered their Duch-
ess a large portion of his stores and
munitions of war Nevertheless he
returned proud in heart to his capital
city For in the midst of bis most
faithful body of cavalry rode the
young Duchess Joan - Princess " of
Courtland on ' a white Neapolitan
barb with reins that Jingled with all
'r bells and rosettes of ribbon pn
the bosses of her harness
'' No Indignity had beeh offered to
her Indeed as great honor wu done
her as was possible in the circum-
stances Prince Louis had approached
and led her by the hand to the steed
which awaited her at the fords of the
Alla Ihe soldiers of Courtland ele-
vated their spears and the trumpets
brayed a salute Then without' a
word spoken her husbsnd had bowed
and withdrawn as a gentleman should
Prince Ivan then approached and on
one knee begged the privilege of kiss-
ing her fair hand
- The captive Princes spoke not at
all as wm indeed natural and fitting
A woman conquered does not eMily
forgive those who have humbled her
pride 8he talked little even to Alt
Plkker and then only apart The
dearest guide who had been chosen
because of his knowledge of German
could not hear a murmur -With
bowed head and ' eyes that - dwelt
steadily on the undulating mane of
her 'white barb Jean swayed her
graceful body and compressed her lips
like one captured but in no wise van-
quished And the soldiers of the army
of Courtland (those of them Who were
married) whispered one to another
noting her demeanor "Our ' good
Prince is but at the beginning of his
troubles for by Brunhild did you
ever see such a wench?' They say
she can engage sqy two fencers of
her army at one time! -“Her
eye is like a rapier thrust”
whispered another ‘Just now I went
near her to look and she arched an
eyebrow at me no more and to! I
went cold at my marrow as if 1 felt
the blue steel stand out gt my back
bone” r - s
“It is the hunger and the anger that
have done it" said another “and' in-
deed small wonder! She looked not
(q ’pale when I saw her ride aloqg
Courtland 8treet the day'to the Don
— the day she whs to bw married Her
face'wa like that of any saint in
ahapel'when the sun shines through
the stained glass tn the western wln-I
flow '"Then her eyes-did not pierce
you through' but Instead they shone
with their own pvoperiight end were
very gracious" V- ' 1
“A strange Wench a most strange
wench” responded the -Erst “so-soon
to change' her mind” -
“Hal” laughed his companion “Hi
tie doubt of that! Besides is she pot
A princess? and wherefore should our
Mrinoe’a wife not' change her mind?”
r They entered pouritopdv and the
flhgs flewlgplly as on the pf yred
ding’ The drum beat and: the hopn-
epectfuUy and Joan could only bow
her head In acquiescence -
Thus they camo to the courtyard of
the palace the people ahoutlng be-
hind them There on the steps
gowned in whit and gold with bare
head overrun with ringlets stood the
Princess Margaret among her women
And at sight of her the heart of the
false princeM gave a mighty bound
as Joan of the Sword Hand drew her
hood closer about her face and tried
to remember iu what fashion a tody
dismounted from her horse
“My lady-” Mid Prince Louie stand-
ing hat In hand before her barb “J
commit yon to the care of my eleter
the Princess Margaret knowing the
ancient friendship that there te be-
tween you She will speak Tor me
knowing all my will and being also
herself shortly contracted In marriage
to my good friend Prlnoe Ivan of
Muscovy ' Open your hearts to each

no evil or indignity shall befall one

ST PETERSBURG: The Associ
ated Press is In a position to declare
that practically the only hope enter-
tained in high Russian offldal quar-
agreement at the
conference nt Portsmouth lies In the
en ndVonoras"mrwedddVlfer“" I Peatton that Jaapn will recede
Joan made him no answer but materially from her terms as pub-
leaped from' her horse without wait- j lished Offlclai and public sentiment
ing for the hand ot Alt Plkker which regarding ihe possibilities of peace as
many thought strange Inanother outlined to the Associated Press by
an official wbo has constant tad close
relations with the highest authorities
to M follows:
"That the terms are regarded la
their entirety as quite ImpoMibie of
acceptance and close scrutiny hss not
removed the very unfavorable impres-
sion the reading has caused If they
arc not modified and territorial con-
cessions receded from peace it Is
thought la fmpoaedble Russia to
sincere in securing an honorable and
lasting peace and to this end hM
sent her plenlpotenthrlM to Ports-
mouth'' They did not Journey thither
merely 'to learn the Japanese de-
mands— the nature of their creden-
tials— but they went In earnest en-
deavor to do everything poMlble to
terminate the war ln a manner com-
patible with the dignity of a great na-
tion The ‘Japanese terms are re-
garded in Russia u demands which
might bo made upon an utterly
crushed and powerless enemy J but It
Is absurd to propose them to a power
like Russia which hu a half million
men in the field feeing the ’enemy
The army to In good condition and
Mger for notion It possesses many
advantage of position and tie win-
ter is coming on whon naval oper-
ations would be impossible '1 Vladi-
vostok is also splendidly fortified and
supplied Japan aa well aa tbe world
at large bal persistently Underesti-
mated Russia’s strength Iq tbe field
- “The more hopeful thing Is notice-
able here can be traced to the con-
viction that M Witte wbo to thor-
oughly oogntoant of the view of the
Russian government continue negoti-
ation r at Portsmouth unless 'he has
reason to believe Japan would reduce
her demands sufficiently to! render
them acceptable to Russia! The Rus-
sian envoys went to Portsmouth ready
to make reasonable and honorable
concessions and If peace to to result
from -the negotiation on American
soli Japan muat also show an equal
spirit of reMonableness for ! peace
Russia -believes that the' world will
recognise that the fault In case of
failure will not res with Russia”
fooment the arms of the PrinceM
Margaret were about her neck and
that Impulsive jjrlnceas' was kissing
her heartily on cheek and lips talking
all the while
“Quick! Let us 'get in from all
these staring stupid men You are to
“Got wot” she murmured “strange

lodge in my palace so long uit lists
you ‘ My brother hath promised It
Where are your women? Let them
come and untire you speedily!”
“I have no women” said Joan Ui
a1 low voice blushing meanwhile
'"they would not accompany a poor be-
trayed prisoner from Kernsberg to n
prison cell!” '
"Prison cell Indeed! - You will find
that I have a ve-y comfortable dun-
geon ready fair yon! 'Come— my maid-
ens will assist you! Hasten — pray do
make haste!” cried the Impetuous lit-
tle lady her arm close about the tall
Joan
"I thank you” said the false bride
with some reluctance “buf-I am well
accustomed to wait on myself” -!
"Indeed I do not wonder” cried the
ready PrinceM "Maids are vexatious
creatures well called ' ‘tirewomen1
But come— ace the beautiful room I
have chosen for you! They were once
my brother Conrad’s and quite hear
mine" 1 ' 1
'And she took her friend by the
hand and with a light-hearted skip-
ping motion convoyed her to her ram-
mer palace kissed her again at the
door and shut her in with another im-
perious adjuration to be speedy
“I ‘will give you 'a quarter of an
hour” she cried as she lingered a
moment "then I will come to bear all
your story every word and you must
take a long time in the telling There
wllTbe so many strange things to tell
and I ca j hardlyrwalt a moment
longer to hear them” r T" “
Then the false princess her heart
beating wildly and the thrill ot Mar
garet’s tost caressing touch yet oa her
