Count Anthony of Egmont, heir to the {arone, of ~Guelders, wanders incoonito through the countryside and falls in love with Johanna, the flancee of @ merchant— Philip Danveit—whom he has befriended.

It is a marriage by prozv, and, when the governor goes to claim his bride, Count Anthony, taking advantage of the duke’s “absence, arrests Rhynsault on a charge of treason.

HE news of Count Anthony's dis- grace preceded him to Nimeguen, where, indeed, little else had occupied the minds of the court since the hawk-faced Adolph had come back there with the tale of his brother's arrest and of the grounds of it. Adolph de- nounced Anthony's conduct as having ruined the credit of the House of Guelders at the Court of Burgundy, and presently brought the old duke and the duchess to the same view. It follows that the count was given & cool reception’ on his arrival home. The old duke bitterly upbraided his son, spoke of the shame which his con- duct reflected upon his house and the grave consequences which the loss of Burgundy's friendship might bring upon the state. “It is bitter to reflect,” he told Count Anthony, “that the valuable services rendered the Duke of Bur- been wasted by your unpar- | donable and discreditable offenses.” Count Anthony roused himself from his listlessness and weary disgust with the world to defend this impugnment of his honor. He pointed out that he had been cleared of the charges by his | acquittal; that independent and un- | biased judges had refused to say that | he had been guilty of violating his trust, but, on the contrary, had held that what he had done was no less than tk; duty imposed upon him by his office. The fact that the good relations be- tween Burgundy and Guelders had | been jeopardized was, however, beyond | dispute. It was not beyond possibility that, if the present situation of severed | relationship between the two courts | were rmitted to continue, there might g: found in it, by the voraclous ambition of Charles of Burgundy, a retext for war, which could end only n the absorption of Guelders into the iwldlly spreading Burgundian domin- ons. 1 ‘This was brought home to Count Anthony, after he had been a fortnight in Nimeguen, at a council held by Rev. J. S. Chapman to Preach. Rey. J. 8. Chapman will preach at the Friendship Baptist Church, First and H streets southwest tomorrow at 11 am.

That is the sort of self- ¢ | abasement he loves to see, especially in cold weather. He has more than once imposed it upon the representatives of his Flemish subjects. Would that con- tent you?” His levity in such a matter shocked them. Adolph, feeling that the coun- cil would s expressed him- self strongly upon his brother’s lack of grace. Anthony bowed to the rebuke, but his lips smiled. -1 have an alternative to offer,” he “It is that I abdicate my rights of succession in the duchy. That should give a full effect to the Duke of Burgundy's desire to see me suffer for what he accounts my misdeeds. It is a punishment that must entirely satisfy him and so restore the harmony between himself and the state of Guelders.” Adolph's eyés gleamed. The old duke, who was entirely under the sway of his younger son, sat very still. But the others, beginning with the chancellor, dashed Adolph’s hopes by the vehemence with which they repudiated any such suggestion. After all, they were very far from’ reposing a full trust in Adolph; and father, they knew, had ceased seriously to count.. Anthony might have his ec- centricities, but knew that they could build upon his honor as upon & rock, and they had received proofs of his considerable abilitles, not only at home, but in the activities in Burgundy which in the past had so endeared him to_Duke Charles. Protest as they might, Count _Anthony showed them what he had put forward as a sugges- tlon]wu already a deliberately weighed resolve. “I was not born” he told them quietly, “to fill the office of ruler in a state. My endowments are not those for which the office calls, and, if I am to be frank with you, that is with me no matter for regret. I have seen lit- tle to admire in those same endow- My brother Adolph possesses in a high degree. Of this,” he continued more briskly, “I have long been aware, and what I now propose to do, hould have done before but that I conceived it to be against the duty which my birth imposed upon me. From the moment that it becomes clear, as clear n‘z h‘t:xe becn:nme. th:‘tx,‘cl; consequence of circums whlct:l have arisen, my abdication will actually benefit the state, my last qualm - vanishes. . My abdication be- con:’u a du‘tdy, the highest service I can render Guelders.” ‘To_this Count Anthony firmly ad- hered, :in spite of arguments which were protracted for some days. In the end, seeing him unshaken in his deter- mination, and since no faintest o] tion to it came from either his father or_his brother, the chancellor and the nobles bowed to his wishes, consoling themselves with the immediate advan- tages to Guelders in a reparation to the Duke of Burgundy beyond anything that he could have demanded or ex- pected. Indeed, when the news reached Charles ‘that the - abdication of his cousin Anthony’s rights of succession to the ‘Duchy of Guelders was the however, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15 | must assume there was no intention of his | family, and departed the duchy without ¢ | into that dining room so full of memo- i- | 1) 1930. amend which Guelders offered for any displeasure the count might have occa- sioned him, such a revulsion of feeling arose in him that he actually consid- ered demanding the cancellation of that act as unjustly excessive, That im- pulse subsiding, however, he determined to leave things as they were, and wrote & courteous and friendly letter to the Duke of Guelders, in which he ex- pressed his appreciation of this vindi- cation. Emboldened by the terms of his letter, Count Anthony wrote to Duke Charles, begging him, for the sake of their an- cient friendship, to ease the decree of banishment_at least to the extent of permitting him to pass freely through Burgundian dominions should he de- sire to do so. Charles accorded him so much, but accorded it grudgingly. The Sire An- thony of Egmont—a ducal secretary wrote, deliberately omitting a title which had belonged not to the man but to the office of heir to the duchy— was permitted free passage h and sojourn in all the states under dominion of his highness the Duke of Burgundy, upon the condition, however, that he should not come at any time within 20 miles of the ducal court, whzrever it might happen to have its seal At once Count Anthony made such preparations for departure that men returning. He sold his castle and lands of Valburg which belonged to him per- sonally, went to take leave of the ducal any state and accompanied only by a body servant, that same Prancols who thr..d lgun with him earlier upen his vels.

Not long was he kept waiting. The rustle of a gown heard through the door which Jan had left ajar soon heralded her coming. The sound seemed to draw the blood to his heart, to leave him pale, to quicken his breath and turn his knees to water. Not in all his life had he known so overpowering an emotion. ‘Then as the door opened they faced each other across that little space. She regarded him with startled, incredulous eyes out of a face as pale as his own, her bosom rising and falling rapidly within its tapering corsa “My lord,” she said to him, “why have you come?” His answer went to the heart of things. “Because T am no lord.
