"It's curious." )observed King
George, lingering at the door. "it's

a day. When Professor I)vornak pro
pounded his plan for the revival of
aristocracy he' had an immediate re

have effected Its purposes, too, had it
not hIneon use'd by base men for thlr
own purposes, and sunk to the level of
an anarchistleic organization, thus com
pelling us to form a countier league to
thwart It. And that we have surcee'd
ed is duie entirely to youi. Tresham.'"
"And to I'auil an-." said Treshanm.
"The Amerrlenn millionaire?'"

nature' of thie pocit'ty, and has since
done all in his polwer to aid us. And
I have hoples that the princess herself
will join In giving the league the
coup de grace."
"A very remarkable woman, the
Princess ('lothilde," said King George
thoughtfully. "I know her well and
hope to see her often now that she has
abandoned Dvornak and his fellow
conspirators. As for this Lane-
where is he?"
"Not far from here, sir," answered
Lord Claude.
"Well. you must bring him to see
me next time we are both in Paris.
Do you go my way, Manuel?" he con
tinued, turning to the Portuguese sov
ereign.
"No. cousin. I have a most press
lig appointment on weighty matters
of state," replied the other, and van
Ished without further ceremony down
the same stairs by which King George
soon afterward took his departure.
It was in the private dining room
of Monsieur Gabriel. In Paris. Seven
kings had attended what was to be
the last session of their club. Form
ed by the steadier heads among the
European rulers, to combat the peril
ous activities of the league, it had ac
complished its purpose. The league
.was on its last legs. And Paul Lane,
who had opposed it with all his re
sources, had been mainly instrumen
tal in securing Its overthrow.
Lord Claude Tresham stepped back
to the mantel and lit a cigarette.'
"1 wonder." he mused, as he puffed
Out a cloud of fragrant smoke. "I
wonder Just how soon King George
will learn that his heir has been kid
napped!" '
He strode across the room and pull
ed back the curtain which separated
the dining room from that of the
attendants.
"Paul!" he called. "come in."
Paul lane. In waiter's garb, which
was converted Into conventional eve
Sning dress by the removal of the nap
kin protruding from his waistcoat, en
tered and took the cigarette which
Sthe other handed him.
"I wanted you to hear our conversa
Slion tonight. Paul." said Lord Tree
ham, "because I have good reason to
believe that the activities of the
league are not wholly ended. In fact.
they have succeeded in pulling off a
most daring coup. Prince Edward of
Wales was kidnapped !go bouts ago."
"In Parts?"
"Yes. from the town house of the

has been. as you know, for several
months. in order that he might be

George and Queen Mary arrived in

their son. They visited the marquis'
house and met the prince, and, being
satisfled that all is right with him.
will not expect to see him again until
tomorrow. Between now and then
the prince must be found. I have
uast learned the news from one of our
agents. Nobody knows it yet, not
even the Marquis de Broteall."
"But is there no clue? What was
the purpose of thes.onspirators.
"The purpose, Paul, Is wholly un
known to me. There does exist a
clue, however. The Princes Clothllde.

oppose the league, but fears to do so
openly owing to some hold which Von
Holsrath, their leader, has over her,

Cafe Celestlel, on the Boulevard
j Rlchepln-a famous haunt of actors
and soubrettes. She sent me this
mesage half an hour before the club
convened. It was sometblng of an
ordeal to keep all knowledge of this
affalr from King George, as you may
well imagine. Now the best thing

It was the Princess Clothldeian, mas

The shock o the discovery stagape
fled Paul. Quite qcaughietly he at down
into the chair which the princess in
dicate to him. ie movsaw the looks of
the dimy awaers fixed on him; he felt
amazed, helpless, out of his depth.
qut thee pseudo-prince' was talking
more hilariously than ever, and the
actress, apparently helieving Paul to
be one ochair which the prince's friendss had al

"No no" hpseudo-princoughed the prince,
catching the glance. "No. he is not
for you, my dear Gabrielle. This Is
a particular friend of mine, with
whom I have an important engage
ment. You will pardon me if I leave
you for one moment?"
"0, certainly," murmured Gabrielle,
not in the most friendly tone. Evl
dently she suspected Paul of being
an agent of the marquis, he thought.
Then, slipping out of the chair,
Clothilde pluedked Paul by the arm
and motioned to him to follow into a
dimly lighted corner, a little apart
from the crowd. She sat down at a
small table and Paul took his seat at
her side.
"Clothilde. what folly is this?" he
began harshly. "To masquerade in
public while--"
"Hush. Paul!" she answered, and
suddenly he perceived that there was
a depth of passionate emotion under
the feigned merriment. "Paul, when
I told you that I was resolved to leave
the' league. I told you also that I must
first work out my destiny, until I had
crushed the league or till it had
crushed me. Von Holzrath knows that
I am no longer an enthusiast in his
cause. He offered me the choice be
tween furthering his schemes and
ruin. I pretended to obey him; se
cretly I sent a message to Lord Tree
ham, making an appointment for you
to meet me here, for I had heard you
were in Paris. Now listen. Paul:
"They mean no harm to the prince.
They want to set France and Eng
land by the ears-and what easter
than to make England think that the
young prince, who is a model of
decorum, has fallen into evil ways
and that the Marquis de Breteull has
been unfaithful to his trust? They
know that King George and Queen
Mar) arrived incognito In Paris this
afternoon to see their son. So they
have kidnapped him for a few hours,
meaning that I shall play his part
with Gabrielle de Soucy In public.
Tomorrow, when the prince is releas
ed, his story of kidnapping will be
scouted: the king will take him back
to England immediately, and public
opinion in England will be aflame
against Prance.

but I sent a message secretly, as you
know."

strode through the endless streets,
crossed the Seine, and then proceed
ed through a mean region of little
shops, while from time to time the
pealing of the city clocks indicated
the swift passage of the hours. It
was nearly two before he stood at
last in front of the old chateau in
which the prince was harbored.
He knew his room! It had been
indicated in many a diagram and plan
in many a newspaper. It overlooked
the avenue, and now Paul, standing
directly under it, perceived that there
was a light in the prince's window.
And, as he looked up, straining his
eyes to catch a clearer glimpse of the
figure behina the curtain, suddenly
the window was thrown wide open
and the youthful figure of the prince
looked out.
It was Prince Edward! There was
no mistaking him! None could have
mistaken that characteristic figure,
that bright, English face, the profile-
it was the prince complete, even down
to the fashionable coat so often por
trayed.
As Paul watched the prince turned
round, the curtain fell, and the light
went out.
He had come on a wild goose
chase, and the true explanation of it
suddenly flashed through his mind.
Von Holzrath, the soul and cunning in
spiration of the league, distrusting
Clothilde, had merely pretended that
the prince had been kidnapped, in or
der that she might reveal the story
and spread the rumor, they incidental
ly throwing his enemies off their
guard. Paul had not credited the man
with so much originality. In the

doubtless be eouamumatd to King

"Sapritstl! they drank together tfor
two hours, Mademoiselle and the
prince, till both were tipsy. And he
flaunted himself so daringly. Mes
sieurs, in his English coat and his
patent leathers, yes. even to the dog's
head cane that all Paris has learned
to know. He won all hearts, this
English prince. And then, just as we
were wondering whether or not he
would roll under the table, up steps
-who do you think? Manuel of Por
then ?"
"Clel! What a meeting! And
hten ?"
•When Mademoiselle perceived him
she grew pale as death and rose from
the table with a little cry of fear, and
stood facing the ex-king with arms
stretched out as though to shield the
boy prince from his wrath. And the
prince rose, too, and looked upon Man
uel with calm dignity-the dignity of
a prince, an English prince, Mee
aleurs. And then Manuel walked up
to the prince and, taking off his gloves
in a leisurely way, folded them to
gether and struck Princet Edward
across the face. And then men
sprang between them and-and-"
"A duel!" exclaimed the shaggy
haired Journalist. "Mon Dieu! Where
will it be?"
"None knows. They went off with
their seconds in two taxicabs, leaving
poor Mademoiselle de Soucy alone
and half hysterical. But it is certain
that they will fight before morning."
Paul sprang to his feet in horror.
A duel! ,Clothilde, in a boy's garb.

reached it-thank God, It was empty
and. flinging himself down upon the
dewy grass, he rested. llis limbs
ached and his head was swimming:
his eyes were heavy from want of
sleep. lie needed all his strength to
control himself. ire must act wisely,
swiftly and say not one. rash word.
Presently a flacre rattled up and
halted in the middle of the near-by
carriage drive, and two men stepped
out of it. Almost immediately it was
followed by another, which, halting in
the identical spot. disgorged three
others. Through the bushes behind
which he lay concealed Paul could
see in the rapidly increasing light,
that the first two men were Manuel
and his second: the other three were
the supposed prince, his second, and
a man who carried a little black case
and was evidently a doctor.
The parties saluted formally, and
the man with the case stepped for
ward and communed for a while with
Manuel's second. Then, being Joined
by their parties, they stationed them
In chosen places, some fifteen paces
apart. And, as the man with the ease
opened It. Paul perceived to his hor
ror that the case did not contain
surgical supplies.
It contained two pistols. This was
evidently to be a duel a I'outrance.
And one of the combatants would
fall, killed, or perhaps mortally
vwounded.
That the duel was to be a serious
one was evinced from the fact that
the combatants were set facing each
other, and not back to back, as Is
commonly done in encounters when
only honor is sought. The principals
raised their pistols; the seconds took
