A Word of Encouragement. NE u.sually lias breakfast on the porch of tho Hotel Schweizer- hof at Interlaken. It Is not the i.iost fa.sliionable ho.stelry In tho Quaint little town at the head of the lake of Thun, liut It is of an 1 excellent cliaracter, and the roll.s and honey to be had with one's breakfast cannot be surpassed In the Bernese Oberland. R. Schmidt sat facing the dejected Boske Dank. His eyes were dancing with the joy of living. "Well, hern we are, and, in spite of that, where are we?" said Dank, who saw nothing beautiful in the smile of any early morn. "I mean to aay, what have we to show for our palna? We aneak into this God forsaken hamlet, Burround'ed on all sides by abomina¬ tions in the shape of toiirlsts, and at the end of twenty-four hours we dis¬ cover that the fair Miss Guile has play¬ ed us a shabby trick. I daresay she Is laughing her.self sick over tbe whole business." "Which is more than you can say for yourself, Coske," said Robin blithely. "Brace up! All is not lost. Woll wait here a day or two longer and then— "Hello, who is this approaching? It 1b no other than the great Gourou him¬ self, the king of sleuths, as they say in the books I used to read. Good morn¬ ing, baron." The sharp visaged little minister of police came up to the table and fixed an accusing eye upon his sovereign— the literal truth, for ho had the other eye closed in a protracted wink. "I regret to inform your majesty that the enemy i« upon us," he said, "I fear that our retreat Is cut off. Nothing remains .save"— "Wliere is she?" demanded Robin, unlmpresHed by this glowing pane¬ gyric. "At this instant, sir, I fancy she is rallying her forces In the ver>' face of a helpless mirror. In other words, she Is preparing for the fray. She is dressing." "When did .she arrive?" "She came last night via Milan." "From .Milan?" cried Robin, aston¬ ished. "A roundabout way, I'll admit," said the baron, dryly, "and tortuou.s in these hot days, but admirably suited to a purpo.se. I should say that she was bent on throwing some one off the track." "And yet she came!" cried the prince, in exultation. "She wanted to come, after all, now didn't she, Dank?" lie gave the lieutenant a look of triumph. "She is more dangerous than I thought," said the guardsman mourn¬ fully. "Sit down, baron," commanded the prince. "I want to lay down the law to all of you. You three will have to move on to Graustark and leave me to look out for myself. I wiU not have Miss Guile"-- "No!" exclaimed the baron, with unusual vehemence. "I expected you to propose something of the kind, and I am obliged to confei^s to you that we have discu.ssed the contingency in advance. We will not leave you. That is final. You may depose us, ex¬ ile us, curse us or anything you like, but still we shall remain true to the duty we owe to our country. We stay here. Prince Robin, just so long as you aro ccuitent to remain." Robin's face was.very red. "Tou accoromodations at tho Reglna Hotel JungP'aublick. He was somewhat puzzled by the stranpo submissiveness of his compan¬ ions. Deep down in his mind lurked the disquieling suspicion that they iwrc conniving to get the better of the lovely temptress by some sly and se¬ cret bit of strategy. UTiat had be¬ come of their anxiety, their eagerness to drag him off to Graustark by the first train? Enlighlennir'nt came unexpectedly and with a shock to his composure. Two people i merged from the door and, riassing by without so much as a glance in his direction, made their i way to the mounting block. Robin's ' heart went down to bis boots. Bede¬ lla, a grac< ful figure in a smart rUlinK j habit, wa.s laughing blithely over a I soft spoken remark that her compan- j ion had made as they were crossing ; the'porcli. And tlvit companion was no other tiian the tall, good looking I fellow who bad met her at Cherbourg! ; The prince, stunned and incredulous, watched them mount their horses and canter away, follov/pd by a groom who seemed to have sjirung up from no¬ where. $1.00. i Our store closes like all other Nazareth Stores every Wednesday at 12 noon, beginning July 12 to August 30 In¬ clusive.

"Now, 1 have a suggest idn of my own to offer," Slid the baron, taking a seat at the end of the table. "1 confess that Miss Guile may not be favorably impressed by tho constant attendance of three ablebodied nurses, iind, as she happens to be no fool, it is reasonably certain that she will grasp the signifi¬ cance of our assiduity. Now I propose that the count. Hank and myself ef¬ face ourselves as completely as possi¬ ble during the rest of our enforced stay In Interlak<^n. I propose that we take quarters In another hotel and leave voii rnifl Ilobbs to the tender "Where is she?" demanded Robin. *^Good morning, Mr. Schmidt," spoke a voice, iwid, still bewildered, he whirl¬ ed, hat in hand, to confront Mrs. Gas¬ ton. "Did I startle you?" He bowed stifHy over the hand she held out for him to clasp and mur¬ mured somi thing about being proof against any surprise. "Isn't It r, glorious morning? And how wonderful she is in this gorgeous sunlight," went on Mrs. Gaston, in what may be described as a hurried, nervous manner. "I had the briefest glimpse of her," mumbled Robin. "When did she come?" "Centuries and centuries ago, Mr. Schmidt." said she, with a smile. "I was speakintr of the Jungfrau," "Oh!" he exclaimed, flushing. "I thought you - er — yes, of course! Really quiti> wonderful." "Your mind has gone horseback rid¬ ing, I fear. .\t present it is between hero and Lauterbrunnen. jogging be¬ side that roaring llttlo torrent that"— "I don't mind confessing that you are quite right," he said frankly. "You are in love." "I am," he confessed. She laid her hand upon his. Her eyes were wide with eagerness. "Would it drive away the blues if I were to tell you that you have a chance to win her?" He felt his head spinning. "If—if I could 1)01 ieve that—that"— he be¬ gan and choked up with the rush of emotion that swept through him. "She is a strange girl. She will marry for love alone. Her father is determined that she shall marry a royal prince. That much I may con¬ fess to you. She has defied her father, Mr. Schmidt. She will marry for love, anil 1 believe it is in your power to awaken lovo in that ador¬ able heart of hers. You"— "For God's sake, Mrs. Gaston, tell me—tell me. has she breathed a word to you that" "Not a single word. But I know her well. I have known her since she u as a baby, and I can read tho soul that looks out through those lovely •¦yes." "lint you—you don't know anything about me. I may bo tho veriest adven¬ turer. 1 must be honest with you. ¦iMMhMt'jM. ;a*At yw« '.«£.Xr JGUOHBClkX,., BAKING POWDER AbsoluMy Pure No Alum—No Phosphate Mrs. Lraston,' ne saia snauemy. i mn not"— She held up her hand. "Mr. Totten has informed me that you are a life¬ long friend of Mrs. Truxton King. I cabled to her from Paris. There Is no more to be said." His face fell. "Did she tell you— everything?" "She said no more than that R. Schmidt is the finest boy in all the world." Suddenly her face paled. "You are never—never to breathe a word of this to—to Bedelia," she whispered. "But her father? What will he say to"— "Her father has said all that can be said," she broke in quietly. "He can¬ not force her to marry tho man he has selected. Siie will marry the man she lovos." "Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Gas¬ ton," he cried, with shining eyes. "God bless you!" Night camr- and with it the silvery glow of mornlight across the hoary headed queen of the Oberland. When Robin came out from dinner he seated himself on the porch, expectant, eager —^and vastly ionesome. She came at last—and alone. Stop¬ ping at the rat! not more than an arm's length from where he sat, she gazed pensively up at the solemn mistress of the valley, one slim hand at her bosom, the other hanging limp at her side. Ho was in tliralldom. "Bedelia!" he whispered softly. She turned quickly, to find him standing beside her, his face aglow with rapture. A quick catch of the breath, a sudden movement of the hand that lay upon her breast and then she smiled—a wavering, uncer¬ tain smile that went straight to his heart and shamed him for startling her. "I beg yoar i)ardon," he began lamely. "I—I startled you." She held out her hand to him, still smiling. "I fear I shall never become accustomed to being pursued," she said, striving for command of her voice. "It is dreadful to feel that some one Is forever watching you from behind. I am glad it is you. however. You at least are not 'the secret eye that never sleeps!' " She gently withdrew her hand from his ardent clasp. "Mrs. Gaston toM me that she had seen you. I feared that you might ftave gone on your way re¬ joicing." "Rejoicing?" he cried. "Why do you say that?" "After our experience In Paris I should think that you had had enough of me and my faithful watch¬ dogs." "Then you are being followed?" She smiled again, and there was mischief in her eye. "If .so I have led them a merry chase. We ha\x been traveling for two days and nights, Mr. Schmidt, by train and motor, get¬ ting off at stations unexpectedly, hopping into trains going in any di¬ rection but the right one, sleeping in strange beds and doing all manner of queer thing.;." "I see tliat your retinue has been substantially augmented," he re¬ marked, a trace of jealousy in his voice. "The g(wd looking Mr. White has not been eluded." "Mr. White? Oh, yes, I see. But he is to be trusted, Mr. Schmidt," she said mysteriously—and tantalizlngly. "He will not betray me to my cruel monster of a father." "I saw you this morning riding with him," said lie glumly. She turned her face away and for a moment was silent. "Shall we take those chairs over there, Mr. Schmidt? They appear to be as abandoned as we." She indicated two chairs near the broad portals. He shook his head. "If we are look¬ ing for the most utterly abandoned allow me to call your attention to the two In yonder corner." "It is quite dark over there," she said with a frown. "Quite," he agreed. "Which ac¬ counts, no doubt, for your failure to see them." ¦ "Mrs. Gaston will be looking for me before"-- she began hesitatingly. "Or Mr. White, perhaps. Let me re¬ mind you taat they have exceedingly sharp eyes." "Mr. White is no longer here," she announced. His heart leaped. "Then I, at least, have nothing to fear," he said quickly. She ignored the banality. "He loft this afternoon. Very well, let us take the .seats over there. I rather like the —shall I say shadows?" "Now, ttll mo everything," he said. "From bt'i,;nning to end. What be¬ came of'y.m after that d:iy at St. Cloud, whither have yoo ji'iirueyed, and wherefore wore you'10 bent on coming to this now blessed Inter¬ laken?" I "Easily answered. Nothing at all became of nie. I journey thither, and I came because I had set my heart on seeing the Jungfrau." "But yon had seen it many times." "And I hoped that I might find peace and quiet here," she added quite distinctly. "You expected to flnd mo here, didn't you?" "Yes, but I did not regard you as a disturber of the 'peace." "You knev,- "1 would come, but you didn't*know' why, dld^'you, Bedelia?" anything to icpd you to believe tnat i am"— She laughed joyously, naturally. "You really are quite wonderful, Mr. Schmidt. Still 1 must change the sub¬ ject. I tnist the change will not af¬ fect your glibness, for it Is quite ex¬ hilarating. IIuw long do you purpose remaining in Interlaken?" "That isn't changing the subject," said he. "I shall be here for a week or ten days or perhaps longer?" Ut put it in the form of a question, after all. "Indeed? How I euvy you. I am sorry to say I shall have to leave in a day or two." His faco fall. "Why?" he demand¬ ed, almost indignantly. "I am having such a good time dis¬ obeying my father, Mr. Schmidt, and eluding pursuers. It is only a maniT of a day or two before I am discovered here, so I mean to keep on dodging. It is splendid fun." "Do you mind telling me where you are going to, Miss Guile?" "First to ¦\"ienna, then—well, you cannot guess where. I have decided to go to Ed; hveiss." "Edelweiss!" he exclaimed in aston¬ ishment. He could hardly believe his ears. "It is the very last place in tho world that my father would think of looking for me. Besides, 1 am curious to see the place. I understand thai tho great Mr. Blithers is to be there soon, and the stupid prince who will not bo" tempted by millions, and it is even possible that the extraordinary Miss Blithers may take It into her head to look the place over before definitely refusing to be its princess. I may find some amusement or enter¬ tainment a:; an onlooker when the riots begin." He was staring at her wide eyed and incredulous. "Do you really mean to say you are going to Graustark?" "I have thought of doing so. Don't you think it will be amusing to be on the scene when the grand climax oc¬ curs?" All this time she was regarding him (hrough amused, half closed eyes. She had a distinct advantage over him. Sh" knew that he was the Prince nf Graustark; she had known it for many days. Perhaps if she had known all the things that were in his cunning brain she would not have ventured so :'*into the comedy she yriLS construct¬ ing. She would have hesitated—aye, she might have changed her methods completely. But she was in the mood to do and say dartag things.

Two Views of a Treaty. Tbe treaty of (iheiit. wliieh ended the \var of IH12, as signed on tljc 2.Sth Of Deeenjber. 1814, was variously re¬ garded. Henry Clay, one of the signers, thought It ":i bad treaty" and did not hesitate to say so. In certain high quarters in Kiigland, on the other hnud. It was lookeil ujion as a great oppor¬ tunity thrown away. "An able minister would have con¬ tinued the war," Lieutenant General Sir Chnrl(-.s N'apler declared, "until the northern states withdrew from the Union, making a separate treaty with E^glan<L after which England oould have raised the negroes of the south. marche<l to Washington at th« head of an immense force of armed and disci¬ plined lilack regiments and dictated peace, making Delaware an independ¬ ent black state In alliance with Eng¬ land."

"A roundabout way, I'll admit," said the baron, dryly, "and tortuou.s in these hot days, but admirably suited to a purpo.se. I should say that she was bent on throwing some one off the track."
"And yet she came!" cried the prince, in exultation. "She wanted to come, after all, now didn't she, Dank?" lie gave the lieutenant a look of triumph.
"She is more dangerous than I thought," said the guardsman mourn¬ fully.
"Sit down, baron," commanded the prince. "I want to lay down the law to all of you. You three will have to move on to Graustark and leave me to look out for myself. I wiU not have Miss Guile"--
"No!" exclaimed the baron, with unusual vehemence. "I expected you to propose something of the kind, and I am obliged to confei^s to you that we have discu.ssed the contingency in advance. We will not leave you. That is final. You may depose us, ex¬ ile us, curse us or anything you like, but still we shall remain true to the duty we owe to our country. We stay here. Prince Robin, just so long as you aro ccuitent to remain." Robin's face was.very red. "Tou

He was somewhat puzzled by the stranpo submissiveness of his compan¬ ions. Deep down in his mind lurked the disquieling suspicion that they iwrc conniving to get the better of the lovely temptress by some sly and se¬ cret bit of strategy. UTiat had be¬ come of their anxiety, their eagerness to drag him off to Graustark by the first train?
Enlighlennir'nt came unexpectedly and with a shock to his composure. Two people i merged from the door and, riassing by without so much as a glance in his direction, made their i way to the mounting block. Robin's ' heart went down to bis boots.

was very shame me. baron," he .said simply.
"Now, 1 have a suggest idn of my own to offer," Slid the baron, taking a seat at the end of the table. "1 confess that Miss Guile may not be favorably impressed by tho constant attendance of three ablebodied nurses, iind, as she happens to be no fool, it is reasonably certain that she will grasp the signifi¬ cance of our assiduity. Now I propose that the count. Hank and myself ef¬ face ourselves as completely as possi¬ ble during the rest of our enforced stay In Interlak<^n. I propose that we take quarters In another hotel and leave voii rnifl Ilobbs to the tender
"Where is she?" demanded Robin.
*^Good morning, Mr. Schmidt," spoke a voice, iwid, still bewildered, he whirl¬ ed, hat in hand, to confront Mrs. Gas¬ ton. "Did I startle you?"
He bowed stifHy over the hand she held out for him to clasp and mur¬ mured somi thing about being proof against any surprise.
"Isn't It r, glorious morning? And how wonderful she is in this gorgeous sunlight," went on Mrs. Gaston, in what may be described as a hurried, nervous manner.
"I had the briefest glimpse of her," mumbled Robin. "When did she come?"
"Centuries and centuries ago, Mr. Schmidt." said she, with a smile. "I was speakintr of the Jungfrau,"
"Oh!" he exclaimed, flushing. "I thought you - er — yes, of course! Really quiti> wonderful."
"Your mind has gone horseback rid¬ ing, I fear. .\t present it is between hero and Lauterbrunnen. jogging be¬ side that roaring llttlo torrent that"— "I don't mind confessing that you are quite right," he said frankly. "You are in love." "I am," he confessed. She laid her hand upon his. Her eyes were wide with eagerness. "Would it drive away the blues if I were to tell you that you have a chance to win her?"
He felt his head spinning. "If—if I could 1)01 ieve that—that"— he be¬ gan and choked up with the rush of emotion that swept through him.
"She is a strange girl. She will marry for love alone. Her father is determined that she shall marry a royal prince. That much I may con¬ fess to you. She has defied her father, Mr. Schmidt. She will marry for love, anil 1 believe it is in your power to awaken lovo in that ador¬ able heart of hers. You"—
"For God's sake, Mrs. Gaston, tell me—tell me. has she breathed a word to you that"
"Not a single word. But I know her well. I have known her since she u as a baby, and I can read tho soul that looks out through those lovely •¦yes."
"lint you—you don't know anything about me. I may bo tho veriest adven¬ turer. 1 must be honest with you.

She held up her hand. "Mr. Totten has informed me that you are a life¬ long friend of Mrs. Truxton King. I cabled to her from Paris. There Is no more to be said."
His face fell. "Did she tell you— everything?"
"She said no more than that R. Schmidt is the finest boy in all the world." Suddenly her face paled. "You are never—never to breathe a word of this to—to Bedelia," she whispered.
"But her father? What will he say to"—
"Her father has said all that can be said," she broke in quietly. "He can¬ not force her to marry tho man he has selected. Siie will marry the man she lovos."
"Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Gas¬ ton," he cried, with shining eyes. "God bless you!"
Night camr- and with it the silvery glow of mornlight across the hoary headed queen of the Oberland. When Robin came out from dinner he seated himself on the porch, expectant, eager —^and vastly ionesome.
She came at last—and alone. Stop¬ ping at the rat! not more than an arm's length from where he sat, she gazed pensively up at the solemn mistress of the valley, one slim hand at her bosom, the other hanging limp at her side. Ho was in tliralldom. "Bedelia!" he whispered softly.
She turned quickly, to find him standing beside her, his face aglow with rapture. A quick catch of the breath, a sudden movement of the hand that lay upon her breast and then she smiled—a wavering, uncer¬ tain smile that went straight to his heart and shamed him for startling her. "I beg yoar i)ardon," he began lamely. "I—I startled you."
She held out her hand to him, still smiling. "I fear I shall never become accustomed to being pursued," she said, striving for command of her voice. "It is dreadful to feel that some one Is forever watching you from behind. I am glad it is you. however. You at least are not 'the secret eye that never sleeps!' " She gently withdrew her hand from his ardent clasp. "Mrs. Gaston toM me that she had seen you. I feared that you might ftave gone on your way re¬ joicing."
"Rejoicing?" he cried. "Why do you say that?"
"After our experience In Paris I should think that you had had
enough of me and my faithful watch¬ dogs." "Then you are being followed?" She smiled again, and there was mischief in her eye. "If .so I have led them a merry chase. We ha\x been traveling for two days and nights, Mr. Schmidt, by train and motor, get¬ ting off at stations unexpectedly, hopping into trains going in any di¬ rection but the right one, sleeping in strange beds and doing all manner of queer thing.;."
"I see tliat your retinue has been substantially augmented," he re¬ marked, a trace of jealousy in his voice. "The g(wd looking Mr. White has not been eluded."
"Mr. White? Oh, yes, I see. But he is to be trusted, Mr. Schmidt," she said mysteriously—and tantalizlngly. "He will not betray me to my cruel monster of a father."
"I saw you this morning riding with him," said lie glumly.
She turned her face away and for a moment was silent. "Shall we take those chairs over there, Mr. Schmidt? They appear to be as abandoned as we." She indicated two chairs near the broad portals.
He shook his head. "If we are look¬ ing for the most utterly abandoned allow me to call your attention to the two In yonder corner."
"It is quite dark over there," she said with a frown.
"Quite," he agreed. "Which ac¬ counts, no doubt, for your failure to see them."
¦ "Mrs. Gaston will be looking for me before"-- she began hesitatingly.
"Or Mr. White, perhaps. Let me re¬ mind you taat they have exceedingly sharp eyes."
"Mr. White is no longer here," she announced.
His heart leaped. "Then I, at least, have nothing to fear," he said quickly.
She ignored the banality. "He loft this afternoon. Very well, let us take the .seats over there. I rather like the —shall I say shadows?"
"Now, ttll mo everything," he said. "From bt'i,;nning to end. What be¬ came of'y.m after that d:iy at St. Cloud, whither have yoo ji'iirueyed, and wherefore wore you'10 bent on coming to this now blessed Inter¬ laken?" I
"Easily answered. Nothing at all became of nie. I journey thither, and I came because I had set my heart on seeing the Jungfrau." "But yon had seen it many times." "And I hoped that I might find peace and quiet here," she added quite distinctly.
"You expected to flnd mo here, didn't you?"
"Yes, but I did not regard you as a disturber of the 'peace."
"You knev,- "1 would come, but you didn't*know' why, dld^'you, Bedelia?"
anything to icpd you to believe tnat i am"—
She laughed joyously, naturally. "You really are quite wonderful, Mr. Schmidt. Still 1 must change the sub¬ ject. I tnist the change will not af¬ fect your glibness, for it Is quite ex¬ hilarating. IIuw long do you purpose remaining in Interlaken?"
"That isn't changing the subject," said he. "I shall be here for a week or ten days or perhaps longer?" Ut put it in the form of a question, after all.
"Indeed? How I euvy you. I am sorry to say I shall have to leave in a day or two."
His faco fall. "Why?" he demand¬ ed, almost indignantly.
"I am having such a good time dis¬ obeying my father, Mr. Schmidt, and eluding pursuers. It is only a maniT of a day or two before I am discovered here, so I mean to keep on dodging. It is splendid fun."
"Do you mind telling me where you are going to, Miss Guile?"
"First to ¦\"ienna, then—well, you cannot guess where. I have decided to go to Ed; hveiss." "Edelweiss!" he exclaimed in aston¬ ishment. He could hardly believe his ears.
"It is the very last place in tho world that my father would think of looking for me. Besides, 1 am curious to see the place. I understand thai tho great Mr. Blithers is to be there soon, and the stupid prince who will not bo" tempted by millions, and it is even possible that the extraordinary Miss Blithers may take It into her head to look the place over before definitely refusing to be its princess. I may find some amusement or enter¬ tainment a:; an onlooker when the riots begin."
He was staring at her wide eyed and incredulous. "Do you really mean to say you are going to Graustark?"
"I have thought of doing so. Don't you think it will be amusing to be on the scene when the grand climax oc¬ curs?"
All this time she was regarding him (hrough amused, half closed eyes. She had a distinct advantage over him. Sh" knew that he was the Prince nf Graustark; she had known it for many days. Perhaps if she had known all the things that were in his cunning brain she would not have ventured so :'*into the comedy she yriLS construct¬ ing. She would have hesitated—aye, she might have changed her methods completely. But she was in the mood to do and say dartag things. (To be Continued)
