It was a company of broken-down gentlemen, spendthrifts, ne'erdo- wells, and criminals who had fled from justice. Oh, I sat in no harsh judgment on these fellows; how could 1? I was of the King’s Guard myself. This letter, with its advice to re- turn at once, raked up the ashes of a sordid story which shall not find repetitiod here. Enough that there was a woman in the back ground, and for her sake I was silent. Wandering abroad, I drift ed into SaxeOldenburg, to Drav- stadt, the capital, and became Trooper Heselton of the King’s Gnard. Suddenly there was a roar of laughter mingled with oaths in the yard. Then came a girl's cry, and slipping the letter into my pocket, T went out. In the midat of a dozen men was a girl—some serving wench. She was struggling to keep rude hands from flinging back the hood which concealed her face, “The toll is a kiss for every man who thinks you worth it,” shouted & great German. “Stand back!” I ning across the yard. “She's our prize, and I'll have my kiss,” said a Frenchman, with an oath. Discipline wes not easily enfore ed in the Guard, and except on duty, the men showed small re spect for an officer. I used the only argument which I knew would be effectual and knocked the man down. “You are a fool to come here,” I said to the girl, as she walked beside me towards the gate. “Why did you come?” “I am new to Dravstadt. I thonght I could reach the palace this way. “The palace!” Bitter experience had made me Gistrust all women, but this girt zzied me. I noted her feet as she walked beside me. There ts much character in a foot. The girl's were as daintily turned as any man could wish to see. I had had no glimpse of her face, she had contrived to hold the hood of her cloak so closely about her. We had passed out of the yard and had turned into an alley be tween two high walls, the barrack» on one side of us, the King’s gar den on the other. “There is a small door I can open for you. I have the key.” “You must be a person of some importance to be entrusted with a key Into the King’s private garden.” An officer in the Guard, that is all. This is the door,” I continued, fitting the key into the lock. “I have no right to open it for such an you, fo a still tongue may save me from censure presently.” “T shall be dumb, An officer tn the Guard might reasonably con sider a serving maid fair quarry, expecially when he had just res- cued her from insult.

Evidently she knew the King’s garden well closed and locked the door. “You should certainly return at once.” ‘The sentence was in my brain as I went slowly back to the barracks, but the call was not so strong as it had been an hour ago.

The audience came to an end My duty was over for the time be-| ing, and I marched the men back to barracks.
