LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS
Death Of Tzerclas. Frontispiece
. . . she came presently to me with a bowl of broth in her hands and a timid smile on her lips.
. . . with her own hands she drove the nail.... Then she turned.
. . . Ludwig, all his indifference cast to the winds, continued to stamp and scream.
The general waited on her with the utmost attention, riding by her bridle-rein.
We were alone. . . . I whispered in her ear.
Before I could recover myself a pair of strong arms closed round mine and bound them to my sides.
But with all--she controlled herself. She rose stiffly from her seat.
