Not a ord was spoken. Rallenstein examined the body, nodded as though well pleased; and to- gether the two living men quitted the “partment, leaving the dead to be dis- covered. Next morning the news was given out that Von Orsova had committed suicide by drinking prussic acid tn the palace ballroom. Grief at his Inability to wed the princess waa the motive ascribed, The same day D'Urban, who, with Szalay and Von Lindhetm, had gone to investigate the light In the ruined chapel that night, was missing, and an over- turned boat in the river alone gave clue tw his death. I was dining with Von Lindhelm the next evening when Szalay entered, angry and frightened. He had, on a trial pretext, been challenged to a duel by one Capt. de Hayn, a creature of the Red Chancellor. De Hayn wus known as a deadly duolist, while poor Szalny knew ‘most nothing of the use of sword or pistol. We agreed that Szalay's one chance was to let the Chancellor got wind of the impending duel, as Von Rallenstein was known to oppose duelling. Von Lindhetm and { went that cvening to the theatre, Between acts he mok me to a box to meet the Baroness Fornbach. When we entesei the box we found It @ecupled by two people. A man was in animated conversation with the Baron- ee. He had his back turned to me, and scemed to be finishing a good stor} for they were both laughing as the Man rose und made way for us, Von Lindhelm presented me to th Baroness, a good-looking widow, still young, and evidently a woman of fash- fon, We shook hunds, and she said a w graceful words to me, then, with a @ight gesture, introduced me casually @ ber companion. Wount, you know Herr von Lind- Qaim? Mr. Tyrrell, Count Furello." Turning to bow, I found myself tace to face with the man who had acconted me by Duke Johann's chapel the night Yefore, the man who had forced Von Orsova to his death. 1 knew him ut once, despite the fact that both my former views of him had been Imperfect; tho feline eyes that glittered from the dark recess of the “box were unmistakable, And a curious looking man he was; a man whom at firat sight and without my previous knowletge of him, one would hardly have known whether to set down as ut- tractive or detestablo, but certainly in- teresting. No doubt he, too, recognized mo: how- ever, he gave no sign of it, only made me a courtly bow with a few murmured words of compliment.

Behind his easy manner and gil talk there was the suggestion of a sinister It wae u personallty which in se would have kept me on my to The Baroness asked us to supper at | her houre after the play and would take no refveal. “1 did not stand out," Von Lindhetm said afterward, “as it will be a goot opportunity of giving the Count a hint | about this wretched duel.

Some other men camo Into the box and we left, the Bnronom making ue renew our promise to sup with her, “1 shall slip out after the trial scene," Von Lindheim said as we returned to our stalls, “and report progress to Szalay.
