At llil point an officer came swift

The I-ady JiMn I'rlnceaa of Court

without, however. looking nt tho
Prince of Muscovj.
j "The I.dy Joan," cried the I'rlnco

befura they come out!"
Ills voice mounted higher and high
' er as bo spoke, and Ivan of Muscovy
watched him without speaking, ns
with hands thrust out and distended
nostrils ha screamed and gesticulated.
Prlnco Ivan find never seen n thor
ough coward before, and tho breed In
tercatcd him. Hut when ho had let tho
Prince, run on fur enough to shame
.him before his officer, ho rosa quietly
and stood In front of him.
i "Louis," he said In a low voice,
"listen to me this Is but a report.
It Is like enough to bo false; It Is cer
tain to bo exaggerated. I-et us go at

I'rlnco Ivan's counlcnanco grow mot

. In tho sun like n thin lino of dnixllng
while Ho grasped (he poltroon by
tho wrist with a hand of steel.
"Usten," In said- "no moro of this;

a doien words, Prlnco Ivnn nodded
very slightly and tho man slolo away

Meanwhile Iiuls of Courtland, al
most as pale ns Thorn herself, his lips
blue, his teeth chattering, hi fingers
clammy with perspiration, stood oy

Presently a band was laid upon his
arm. Ho started violently at tho

"It Is Into a bad case" said Ivnn
In his oar. "1-et us get aua, I must

With n gasp of relict Prlnco Loult

"Steady, friend Imis'" snld Prlnco
Ivan In his ear and passed Ills arm
about his waist.
Ho began to fear lest lie should havo

bar tho bolt was shot In his face.
And tho eye of Alexia the Deacon
glowed between tils narrow- red lids

Without tho door Ivan fixed Prlnco

"Now," ho said, speaking In low,
