{AIR LINES REDUCE The Romantic Prince By Rafael Sabatini Corsrisht. €28 by North American Newspaper Alllance and Metrcrolitan Newsraper Service, SYNOPSIS. | Count Anthony of Egmont, heir fo the throne of Guelders, flees the court | o7 Charles, Duke of Burgundy, when he _finds that his flancee, Lady Catharire, | does not care for him. During his wan derings he befriends a merchant — Philip Danvelt, who takes him to the home of his prospective jatiter-in-lau There Count Anthony meets Johanna, Philip's flancee. They are immediately | attracted with each other and. although Count Anthony goes away, he soon re- | turns. Meanwhile the Duke has offered @ reward jor the Count’s arrest. | though he fis traveling incognito, a | wwandering friar sees him and guesscs | his secret. The man goes immediately | to the governor of the province. Count Anthony is siezed and sent back under | guard. There are rumors abroad that | the King of France ir arming jor the recapture of the cities of the Somme. FIFTH INSTALLMENT (Continued) “S0,” he said at last, “you are from | Zealand with very urgent tidings. I trust they are not evil: at least not more evil than I am growing accus- tomed to.” “I think your highness will account my tidings far from evil.” He bent the knee as he proffered the governor's letter. Passing from the window to a table on which a map was spread beside some papers, the duke broke the seal and gnfolded the parchment. As he read ®his gloomy: countenance lighted. Over the edge of the sheet his dark eyes glowed upon the Lorrainer. “You | have brought his lordship?™ “He walls in the guard room, high- | ness.” | “The guard room!™ The duke’s | frown and the ascending pitch of his | voice announced his surprised displeas- | Stolidly Diesenhoien explained that his orders were explicit, that he tool no resis, and that for the rest he used the prisoner with all court: consideration. | He ‘was curtly dismissed to fetch | Count Anthony. and Count Anthony, | ancé ‘alone with the duke. restraining | the embrace with which the duke would~| have received him, expressed himseif | freely and with righteous Indignation upon this violation of his person and the constraint imposed upcn him. At the end of it. he demanded instant lberty to go his ways. | “Liberty you shall have.” said Charles of Burgundy. “But what are your ways?” “They are my own. I am not your vassal, Charles, and you have sanc- tioned s mionstrous usurpation of right By might where I am concerned.” | The Faughty, tempestuous and head- | strong duke was patient and meek for | once. Affection for his cousin and the | perception that this indignation . was | entirely justified combined now with | his own urgent need of every tried | friend he could command. So he set | himself to use conciliatory arguments, which, i none too sound, were the best #t _his’ disposal | “There are rights of alliance, An- thony. as well as rights of vassals, “They include no right to subject me | to duress.” “If you were s0 clear on that, why did you run away?” “Run away! 1 departed your court | when I grew weary of jt. That wasall.” | “Without even the courtesy of crav- | ing leave of me. Are these the man- | Xers of a guest in Guelders?” | “T desired to go in peace.

The Lady Catharine is | available. She has consoled | herself with your brother Adolph.” | ‘The duke’s grin was not entirely free from malice. He knew that the state- ment and its obvious implication would give Count Anthony somethin; . The marriage between Bourbon it had been projected for the of the political alliance | between Guelders and Burgundy. To give full effect to this, the proper party 1o the contract on the side of Guelders was the heir to the duchy. That ad- ‘vantage should have been taken of An- thony’s absence to substitute his young- er brother as the bridegroom was hardly a good . It seemed to fore- shadow the desire for a wider substitu- tion. Count Anthony was taken aback. }B‘lfllh kindled in his long, fair lace. “Was this by your contriving, OCharles?” { The hea'y countenance sneered at him. h, I thank you for the thought!” “But you consented. necessary.” ‘And still more urgently necessary to marry that baggage Catharine. Adoiph happened to be finding favor in her eyes, and I sanctioned what they both desired before the jade could chang> her mind again, since not even my commands could have constrained the slighted Catharine to await your re- tun or to marry you when it hap- pened. At last perhaps you'll give me reason for the gentle force I've used | with you.” He lowered his voice to & grumbling note as h Your consent no wish to see your brother Adolph ex- tending his usurpation of your func- ‘ions.” Count Anthony shrugged his sheer disgust. There was little love between him and his family. and covetousness | ever mauseat=d him. “Let him usurp | what he pleases. | The duke’s swathy face grew stern. He set his arms akimbo. “Here's | frenzy! You'll let your younger brother | give rein to unnatural ambition, and ride over you to the throne that should | be vours?” “Is that the aim, then? ing less content him?" { “Must T make Adolph known to you?" | wondered the duke, and he became sen- tentious. “Like poets, princes are born, not made; born to a 'sacred trust from ; on high.

And perhaps no_conviction wss stronger in Charles of Burgundy— begotten of the adulatory phrases ad- dressed to him from childhood—than that of the divine appointment and divine mission of princes. Before Count Anthony could answer “And that is not the only reason why {him he continued on another note. 1 rejoice in your return.
