They had stopped their horses for a moment's rest "after the long climb, and the Queen gazed Jft to right-to left-drinking in the beauty all around her. Per haps some voice whispered to her that she would never see it in all this glory of the setting sun again.

Suddenly her attention was ar rested by something in the valley below.

“Look, Ange" she cried, pointing; with her whip. The old man foi- lowed her gaze."

They saw a processton of coaches slowing plowing its way through the heavy snow. Buddenly the most elaborate coach of all, evid-| ently that of a travelling noble- man, sank sideways into a snow drift.

"Do not let them guess who I am" she commanded Aage. "1 will help them in their difficulty and it might embarrass them to know who I am."

She rode alongside the stalled coach and old Aage, despite his scorn and distrust of all things foreign, beamed with pride to her her offers of help and orders to the servants, in Buent Spanish,

"In a few minutes, the cavalcade arrived and there was great excite- ment when the innkeeper announ- ced there was no room for the no- bleman. The last one, he said had just been, assigned to the young gentleman. Don Antonio turned and saw Christina, stand- ing at the foot of the staircase, her altitute easy and debonaire, her expression faintly amused, faintly mocking. Don, Antonie was quick of mind; he saw at once the mistake he had made,

"Bir' he said, "I owe you an apology. I crave your forgiveness," A serving mald brought them steaming punch at once, and soon a bounteous supper was spread, be- fore them. Their was much noise in the room it was hard for them to converse. But they were amus- ed by the simple people about them. At a nearby table abx-sol- djera were all shouting at once. Then one of them rose, banged on the table and shouted above the din "I say nine."

"Well, I say you are a llar" shouted another. "m in the Queen's army and I know what I'm talking about it. And I'ŝay six/

"So, you and this amusing, do you" he said in a thundering voice. "I crave your pardon, air" she answered...

"Where is that fool of a coach- man?" 12

"It is not his fault. The ditch is full of soft snow. Such accidents often happen to those who do not know our roads.”

"God what a country!” the Spantard cried. "I suppose there are no inns in this God-forsaken land."

"I have been there often," said Christina.

"Then you can settle a wager for me. This drunken pig-who is my friend—says that The Queen-God bless her has had six lovers this year. I say that is a disloyal, libelous statement.“

"And what do you say?" afted Christina drily.

"I say there have been nine, Six indeed!"

The soldiers were yelling louder than ever and threatened to come to blows, until at last Christina | said: “Good · soldiers, if you wil

There was a mittrmur of excited curiosity and cries of:

"Let's have it! By all means let us know the number"

"Well, then, you are all wrong- the sixes and the nines. The truth is"-her voice dropped to a con- fidential whisper-The Queen has had twelve lovers this past year--- a round dozen."

"Oh yes, sir-plain ones, to be sure not like those, perhaps, to which you
