He told King Phil ippe and Donald that the charge was a complete surprise, having been just laid before the Regents that day. Nobody seemed to knov who had made the accusations, which maintained that Captain Koenig had stolen the plans of the new Movanian fortifications from the War Office and planned to deliver them to the Bachenbourg army. The deed was said to have been done two niits before, and the leather case jn which the plans had been kept was said to have been found in Captain Koenig' quarters. This was the main point against him The plans, however, had not been found. "If Duke Boris is at the bottom of this, as we. think," commented outskirts of town at dusk that evening. Then, refusing to divulge his plans further then, he had his horse Major brought to the rear door of the palace, and with a pittol that Lieutenant Von Loon had given him in his pocket, said goodbye to Philippe and clattered out of the gate. Once away from the palace he fairly galloped Major through the streets. It was already late afternoon, and his plan must be carried out at once. As Don rod&back to the consulate he tried not to think of the danger he was about to undergo, but he realized that the- - slightest slip in his plans meant that noth-innot eve:i King Philippe's friendship, could save him. Yet he managed to be perfectly casual when he met his father a short time later and informed' him that he was going fishing for a while before it got too dark. Mr. Chamberlain was surprised, but he had become used to Don doing about what he liked, and he made no protest. Moreover, Don frequently fished in the river that flowed through the town and past the walls of the prison. Leaving the consulate, he made for the river. Over his shoulder was hung a creel, and that creel bore a strange burden. A loaded and vicious-lookinpistol was there and a note fastened In a bit of waterproofed cloth and securely tied to a small lead weight. In one hand he carried a fine steel rod, the veteran of many a day's sport in the trout streams at home. At a little stone bridcre near the edge of the city was the place of a man who rented boats to fisher men. To this place Don made his way, and soon he was out on the "Less than a week ago I would write, Hundreds of words each day, But now I'm alone from morning till night, And my point is dusty and gray."
