"You, then, are the girl Baldos talks so much about?" cried Candace

eagerly. "You are Miss Calhoun, the fairy princess? I am so glad to know

you." The young princess clasped Beverly's hand and looked into her eyes

with admiration and approval. Beverly could have crushed her in her

arms.

The sounds of shouting came up to the windows from below. Outside, men

were rushing to and fro and there were signs of mighty demonstrations at

the gates.

"The people have heard of the capture," said Candace, as calmly as

though she were asking one to have a cup of tea.

There was a pounding at the boudoir door. It flew open unceremoniously

and in rushed Lorry, followed by Anguish. In the hallway beyond a group

of noblemen conversed excitedly with the women of the castle.

"The report from the dungeons, Yetive," cried Lorry joyously. "The

warden says that Gabriel is in his cell again! Here's to Prince Dantan!"

Ravone was standing in the door. Candace ran over and leaped into his

arms.
