THE RED CHANCELLOR. I A ROMANCE, By SIR WILLIAM MAGNAY, Bart., Author of "The Heiress of the Season," "The Man-Trap," The Pride of Life," &c. « CHAPTER XXXII I,- Continued I An Ominous Visit. "At that time. Bat the time is past. Sorely it was inconceivable that you really wished her kept alive. Who could have foreseen what you have just told me, the secret mar- riage of Prince Theodor? "lhat is aJl no business of yours," the Chancellor returned. with a momentary lapse from his usual bland manner to a. snear that was almost brutal. "When I saved your neck from the gallows-rope, it was on the under- standing that you should yield me implicit obedience, that the life I gave you was to do my will. You are not required to think for yourself, and you had best beware how you take upon yourself to do so. Let me remind you that that rope with the ugly knot in it still dlangles. Enough! I do not trouble to concern myself with your motives—oh, do not protest"—for the other had made a depre- cating gesture—"I am no fool either, and know men do not thwart my will for nothing--for nothing. So! And the girl is dead- She is dead?" Such a. searching look, so fierce, so threaten- ing, so piercing, that I wondered how the Count had nerve to answer quietly. "Three days ago." "Ha! And buried-where?" "In the wood, by the grave of Herr Pfarrer Gerrsdorff. If your Excellency wiehee to be llatisfted-" "I am satisfied, mein Graf," Rallenstein said sbarply, "that you have played me a knavish trick; and I know not yet that it has been with impunity. Recolleot that an unnecessary crime is the woret of blunders." "Not so unnecessary. Excellency," the Ooumt protested ais the other tossed off a glass of wine as dismissing the subject. "One of my reasons for the haste ,by which I regret to have offended you was tShart: our meddling English- man has been boore." Rallensbein nodded. "1 know it. Now there, my dear Count There was significance enough in the aposiopesis to make me shudder. The Count laughed; he was evidently beginning to feel easier. "We made a good attempt," he replied grimly. "Bast the fellow wriggled out of our hands somehow. Bleisst says he muurtu be own brother to the devil himself." The conversation, if flattering, had become less momentous. I had heard enough; and the thought of Strode urged me to retreat while I could do so with safety. I slipped back to the inner hall, and thence found my way to the entrance of the long passage. As I was harrying along this, I suddenly came into oollision with some one, and next instant was seized very prettily by the throat. Luiokily the pressure left just room enough to allow jq(> tJlft word "Strode!" when to my doable relief the fingers relaxed, and the Englishman's voice said "A million apologies, my dea;r fellow, only I had to make sure. I waa coming after you as the love scene appeared to ha.ve lasted long enough. Hope I haven't hurt YOU?" It vras no place for oonvereation. and it was not until we were safely through the trap- door that I stayed to tell what I had heard. "You don't tiiink the girl has come to any karm?" Strode inquired as we began to grope lour way outwards. I have my fears about, it. If this visit of Rallenstein's has taken the Count by surprise. there is no telling to what extremities panic may have driven him. On the other hand, he may simply have hidden her away more securely. He said she had been murdered three days ago." "The black sooandrell" "Whereas we know she was aim this afternoon. I have hope there." And that is the most likely thing to have happened. I'd stake my life on hers up to now. Only there is no time to be lost, if we have to take this devil's den by assault to- morrow. Let's hope foroe won't be necessary, „ I said. "It would be simple madness, however justifiable. Much will depend on the length of Rallenstein's stay." That won't be long," Strode replied con- fidently. "Pat yourself in the-old Jaguar's place and ask yourself how long you'd feel inclined to stay in that rural Chamber of Ror- rors." So discussing the chances of the situation, we at length reached tke entrance, and with- out further incident returned to our inn. CHAPTER XXXIV. We Outstrip Our Fortune Next morning I packed a small valise and paid the landlord, telling him we were going on a shooting expedition to a district some twenty miles off, whence the time of our return might be uncertain. Then we set off for Carlzig. Our first business there was to buy a carriage and a pair of fast horses. This was not an easy matter, and it was some hours before we found just what we wanted. But at last we got hold of two good strong- winded animals and a serviceable light car- riage, somewhat like an old-fashioned caleche, our pretext being that we intended them for a driving tour through the country. We then laid in a stock of provisions, bought another revolver each, with a good supply of cartridges, and having pro- vided ourselves with the necessary tools for the removal of the bars, we were ready. We had an early dinner, and afterwards drove quietly out of the town. Strode, who was going to be coaohman, had mounted the box, and I drove inside so as to avoid observation as much as possible. By an indirect route and at an easy pace we made our way to a spot we bad settled upon, perhaps a quarter of a mile from the entrance to the underground passage. Here. in a, wild piece of woodland approached 'by a rough grass road. the carriage could stay with very little chance of attracting attention even from the Count's spies. We had agreed that I should go through to the Monastery alone, for if the prisoner should be in the same room there would probably, unless we were inter- rupted, be no difficulty in my effecting her release single-handed; if, on the other hand, I could not find her, or any unexpected diffi- culty should arise, I was to hurry back for Strode. It was now dusk—almost dark. I put the tools in my pocket and hastened impa-tiently to the entrance of the passage. I had bought a small lantern in Carliig, and with this pro- tection for my light was able to make much quicker progress, especially as the way was now familiar. I reached the steps and trap- door; left my lantern at the bottom and parsed through. Then, as I drew near, a horrible few came upon me that a few steps would show me the disappointment to which I might be doomed. I scarcely dared approach the doorway where my wont fears might in tM iMtM-t be confirmed. The uiMnsaU'r weakness was overcome and I peered out into the passage. To my intense joy and relief a faint glimmer of light fell across it at half its length. In a few seconds, I was by the window. Approaching cautiously, I heard no sound of voices; the curtains were drawn slightly apart, I peeped through and saw Fraulein Aata sit- ting there alone. A kap on the glass brought her joyfully to the window. In reply to my sign of inquiry she nodded that all was saie, so without delay I set to work on the screws that held the bars. They had evidently been recently put in and yielded readily to the wrt-xicn. One after another the bars were turned down while the prisoner kept watch by the door. In a few jpinutes every obstacle was removed; I beckoned, and the Fraolsin ran to the window and opened it. "Is all safe?" were my first words. "Yes," she answered. "I do not think Tslka will return, and the Count"—she gave a liMfta shudder—"is away. Oh, I have feared!" And 1. too. But we will talk of this presently when you are saJe. Qui ok, now; bring a chair. So. Now let me lift yon, through. Her arms were round my neck, and I had litue dilhouity in drawing her through the open window. "So far good," I said; "let ms repiaoe Wo,baa-a to throw them off the track." The delay was risky, but I judged it worth while to prevent the prisoner's manner of esoape from being too obvious. Pursuit woedd be oertain in any case, and this P-OWU004 migm gain us time. ine bars were soon in position. "Now. Fraulein, quick I Let me hold your ana and guuie you- 'ihe way is not easy." I led her along the dark pussags and so to the trap-door. "Onoe down here I trust we snail be safe," I said, lifting it. The girt hesitated a momentr—the descent was not inviting—then, holding my hand, crept down. I took up my lantern and went on in front, for there was no room for us to walk abreast. The dark, dripping, noisome gal- lery must have seemed horrible to the girl, but she kept bravely on at my heels, I guiding and encouraging her &a best I could, consi- dering how hurried our progress had to be. "We are nearly at the end now," I was able at length to say, and then we began ths ascent which brought us to the entrance. Bidding her stay a. moment while I recon- noitred, I scrambled warily up till my head was just enough above feround to look about. All seemed safe, so. pulling myself oat of the hole, I lifted my companion after me, and w. set off for the place where the carriage was waiting. As we came in sight of Strode he waved hia hand joyfully. "This is better than I dared to hope," his excited greeting. The girl gave him a grateful nod and siaila— there was no tiuic ior words as we harried into the- carriage—the good fellow sprang ap and set his horses going as fast as he dared down the bumpy lane. In ten minutes, how- ever, the jolting ceased; we had struck the high road, along which we began to bowl at a rare pace. I now had time to notice that my companion wa-s evidently feeling the unusual exertions and excitement she had just gone through. She lay back half-fainting. I hastily opened a flask of wine; this revived her. She was a plucky girl, and in a few minutes had so far recovered as to be able to laugh at her weak- ness and began to chat. "I was in the Monastery again last night, I said. "Again! Why did you come?" she asked. "I could not keep away. The feeling that you were in such danger was too strong for me, and I wanted, in 0Ma of accidents, to show Strode the way." Perhaps she felt intuitively that there had been a more strongly impelling reason behind the others. Anyhow, her look was more than grateful as she said: "It was rash of you to venture again. If I had known you were there I should have been terribly anxious. For they took me away to, a distant part of the building." "You know why?" "Rallenstein had come unexpectedly." "I know." "You know?" she orisd in surprise. "Yes. I saw him." "Herr Tyrrell! What fearful risks yom-, run. "I admit Fraulein, it was foolish, since it) was scarcely fair to you. But at least I heard some interesting news." "Tell me." "That Prince Theodor cannot marry yovn Princess." "Cannot?" "For he is secretly married already. So it follows that these ghastly political murders have all been unnecessary. There is every reason now why you should live." Ah "But unfortunately you died tkrss dan-, ago. I died-three days ago So Count Furello told his Excellency." She thought a moment. "Ah, yes, I under- stand." So it seems to me. Fraulein. that now it 18 only the Count you have to fear." She gave a little shudder. And that is bad enough. But at least I would rather a mil- lion times have his hate than his love. Ah, I cannot bear to think of it, yet I mwt tell you. About half an hour after you had gotoe yes- terday the Count came to my prison room. He told me thaA to let me live was as mnch as his life was worth. His own risk was so great that only upon one condition would he face it. Of course, you guess the condition; that I would marry him; otherwise that day must be my last. 'Remember,' he urged in his smooth, hateful voice, 'you are already dead in theory. The grave is dug for you in the wood outside; in ten minutes from the moment I give the word you will be lying in it. It is painfui for me to have to tell you this, but my life is precious, too; I cannot afford to risk it unless I hare a stake to play for.' (To be continued).
