WHAT HAPPENED
AT STARKENFELS
By RAFAEL SABATINl
l_L
(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
Who i6 there that has not heard of
the beauty of the Princess Yola? And
who that haa heard will have difficulty
in believing that It was to my heart,
and not to my ambitions, that I fell a
victim?
For months I worshipped her from
afar, as pious ones worship a saint—
reverently, ecstatically. Despairing,
too, was my love for her, realizing
that while she was heiress to the
throne of Lichtenstein, 1 was but one
of the minor satellites of the court.
My princess was chosen by the
states of Sachsenberg and Lichtenstein
to become the wife of King Heinrich
of Sachsenberg. Few were there at
the Court of Vaduz that were not
privy to this, and few whom the
princess' flat refusal to enter into the
alliance did not fill with consterna
tion. She had never seen the king of
Sachsenberg, and she openly vowed
that she never wished to see him; that
she would not be bestowed like unto a
chattel for purposes of state.
Then did it occur to me that haply
the princess had already given her
heart to another. Could it be, I asked
myself, that my ardent glances had
not been iu vain?
1 will not dwell here upon details of
our flight; they scarce concern my
story. But so well did 1 contrive that
in three days my mistress sat safe
within the walls of her castle of Stark
enfels. We were prepared for a
siege, and I had victualled the place
so that a score of people might hold
out for a year, if need be.
On the eighth day of our coming t(
Starkenfels I held parley with one whc
rode up in hot haste to the very edge
of the moat. .
From the battlements 1 Inquired on
what errand he was come, and in an
swer he pompously announced that his
business was with the Princess Yola
of Lichtenstein. Then there came the
rustle of a gown beside me, and the
princess was at my elbow, gazing
down upon that leather-clad clown.
"Who is this, Gerlstein?"
"I know not, mad&me. It pleases
him to be mysterious."
"But he is wounded!" she cried, a
look of pity glorifying her matchless
eyes. "And you leave him at the j
gate?”
The graceless dog, perceiving her,
doffed his grey beaver, decked by a j
broken goose quill, disclosing a face
that was very pale.
"Lady,” he began, then stopped ab
ruptly. 'i ne hat fluttered from his
grasp; he sank forward upon the |
withers of his horse, then rolling from
the saddle, lay inert upon the turf.
"See to him, my lord,” the princess
cried. “He has fainted. Have him
brought into the castle.”
The wound was a mere scratch,
though much blood had flowed, as his
sodden sleeve bore witness. With her
own kerchief she bound it up.
"Poor lad,” she murmured, “he hath
lost much blood.”
As she spoke he stirred; a sigh es
caped him, and he opened his eyes, to I
find the princess mirrored in them.
Then from those eyes of his there
flashed with returning consciousness
a look of such wonder and bold ad
miration that my lady’s dignity was
aroused by it.
My lady's brow grew dark, and
stern her eye.
"Come you on behalf of King Hein
rich?"
“Nay, your highness, on my own,
and a sorry traitor do 1 hold myself.
Yet, madaine, that which is a foot
seemeth to me so foul a thing that I
had no longer esteemed myself a gen
tleman had I, Anthony Von Turgen,
not riuden to warn you.”
"What is this warning that keeps
you a gentleman yet makes you a
traitor?"
“Lady, the prince, your father, ac
companied by the king of Saehsenberg,
is on his way hither with a thousand
men.”
There was a moment’s pause, and
white grew the Princess Yola's cheeks.
"But despair not, lady. You may
yet escape, leaving your castle gar
risoned. Bid yout men hold out for a
month, and then surrender the empty
nest to the prince. But, lady, you must
hasten, for he draws near!
Yola put her hand to her heart, and
looked about her with eyes that for a
moment told of fear. Then—
"Here will 1 remain,” she said, "un
til these tyrants shall have starved
me. Ho you save yourself, sir, and
take with you my thanks for your
noble effort.
At the princess' command a fresh
horse was brought him. In this there
was some delay, and when at lust he
was mounted it was too late. The
prince's force was within a couple of
hundred yards, and I could not sanc
tion the lowering of the bridge.
With a caretsss laugh Von Turgen
dismounted and flung the reins to a
i servant.
For a month sat the Prince of Llcht
enstein and the King of Sachsenberg
besieging us, and in my whole life I
can recall no other month in which I
suffered half so much.
Gradually, almost imperceptibly, !
that vile ruffler out of Sachsenberg_
for such I ever have, and ever shall
hold him to be—wormed himself by a
score of wiles into the good graces of !
my princess. Gradually, by virtue of
the favor she showed him—weak, shal- 1
low woman that she was—and his
knowledge of the coarse trade of war,
he had rendered himself the command
er of o>ur garrison. He reorganized
our defenses and the husbanding of
our resources, until the soldiers came
to look to him for orders, and less and
less to me.
All this I might have endured had it
not been for the daily increasing favor j
shown this leather-dad soldier of for
tune by the princess! 1 witnessed this,
the growing coldness wherewith she
treated yig. and the indiBerence she
betrayed for those verses of mine to
which a little while ago she had lent
so ready an ear, and I cursed the day
1 had suggested Starkenfels to her!
But J was little prepared for that
which I chanced to overhear between
them one evening when the siege was
a month old. Chancing to hear their
voices, heralding their approach, I
slipped behind the dais that stood at
the further end of the hall. Perchance
you who read these linea will despise
me for an eavesdropper; bethink you,
though, how much I had at stake.
"Heigh-ho!” she sighed, "we shall
all die here together."
"To live and die, princess, beside
you," he answered, passionately, "is the
greatest good heaven may send me.”
"How so?” she asked, fain'ly.
"Because,” he began; then paused a*
one in fear.
"Because?” she murmured.
“Lady, because I love you,” he whis
pered, and faintly I caught her an
swering whisper:
"As I love you."
Amazement and disgust Ineffable
sank Into my soul together with tnose
words.
"You love me!” he cried, a great
"BECAUSE!”
wonder In his voice—as well there
might be—"me, a simple soldier."
"I care not who or what you are. I
know you to be brave and honorable
and true. Because of this, and because
—because forsooth you are such as
you are—I love you.”
"Yola!” So great a joy was in his
voice that it had almost the ring of
pain. He urged her with an effrontery
that turned me sick with rage to wed
him in that very castle. There was
Anselm, the priest—-he would perform
the ceremony as soon as might, be.
But as I stepped from behind the
dais when they departed I registered
a vow to scorch forever if I thwarted
; not these nuptials.
In the evening the wedding took
place in the great Rittersaal. The in
mates of the castle were all there as

sembled, with the exception of one
sentry and myself. That sentry—with
my dagger at his throat—I caused to
throw down his partisan. Then by
dint of threats and promises I played
upon his feelings, his hopes and his
fears until he consented to help ice
lower the bridge.
Across it marched as softly as they
might some twoscore troopers of the
prince’s army, headed by a young offi
cer. I placed myself beside him and
led the way to the Rittersaal, without
waiting for speech with his highness,
since time pressed.
Very pale, yet calm, the princess
stood beneath the dais, and beside her
swashbuckling bridegroom.
"Lay down your arms, my friends,”
she commanded, quietly.
My hour was come.
"So, pretty lady,” quoth I from the
doorway, “meseems 1 have discharged
my debt. You were bold enough but
yesterday; we shall see if that bold
ness shall avail you when presently
your swashbuckler is strung up with
out.”
“Fear not, sweet mistress,” cried
von Turgen. supporting her with his
arm. "The treacherous dog lies.”
"Say you so?” 1 mocked him. “Here
comes one who will prove it otherwise
—the king!”
I stood aside, and across the thresh
1 old there stepped a very courtly figure''
followed by two attendants. To m^
horror and tli? amazement of all pres
ent, he fell upon one knee before the
stalwuri soldier of fortune, and!
"God save your majesty!” he cried.
"Why have you tricked me thus?
Why this dvr 1 cried the Princess
Yola.
"You wmild not listen to my suit,
although you knew me not,” he an
swered, “and because of it I came
hither to woo you as a simple aoldler
of fortune, and had I failed, Yola, I
swear that 1 should have departed as
I came, and the sn ge had been
ended!”
Sin* smiled upon him, tears in her
eyes, and as 1 looked I grit my taeth
and called myself a fool a dozen times.
Then, holding out her band to him:
“Heinrich!” she murmured, and hw
understood.
"Let the ceremony proceed, father,”
he laughed, turning u tin monk.

happened at Starkenfels, anu <kb U

Nervous
Worn-Out
If you are in this condition,
your nerve force is weak—the
power is giving out, the or
gans of your body have
“slowed up,” and do their work
imperfectly. This failure to
do the work required, clogs
the system and brings distress
and disease. When the nerves
are weak the heart is unable
to force the life-giving blood
through your veins; the stom
ach fails to digest food; the
kidneys lack power to fdter
impurities from the blood, and
the poisonous waste remains in
the system to breed disease.
Nerve energy must be restored.
Dr. Miles' Nervine will do it,
because it strengthens the
nerves; it is a nerve medicine
and tonic, that rebuilds the
entire nervous system.
“Several years ago I was all broken
- [ was nervous, worn-out. could
and was in constant pain,
months, nuj finally the
I doctor said he could do nothing for
me. I began taking Dr. Miles’
j Nervine, a il used altogether eight
i bottles, ami I became strong and
healthy, arid now weigh 170 pounds.”
