She, too, loves him. O'Rourke, a poor man, refuses to marry her until he has made a fortune of his own, and he departs to seek it. Before leaving, he breaks a franc piece in two, telling her that should she ever need him, to send the other half of the franc and he would come at once. Adolph Chambret, a friend of O'Rourke's, and at one time in love with the Princess, receives a letter from one of his former sweethearts, Delphine, Duchess of Lutzemburg. The letter tells him her son, who is the heir to the throne, has been abducted and she suspects the younger brother of her former husband of being implicated in it, as he would ascend the throne should the boy disappear. She implores Chambret to come to her, and Chambret agrees and gets O'Rourke to go with him, sending her word to meet them at the Inn of the Winged God, on Thursday next. The Duchess receives his note, and disguising herself as a peasant woman, goes to the Inn to meet them. Her maid, a confederate of the Prince's, divulges her plans to him, and he plots to capture both Chambret and O'Rourke. O'Rourke, leaving Chambret and his automobile miles down the road, goes to the Inn by himself. There he meets Delphine disguised as a bar maid, and not recognizing her, starts a mild flirtation. The Prince and his lieutenant arrive and insult Delphine. O'Rourke takes her part and in an instant is engaged in a broadsword duel with the Prince. .Delphine makes her escape and the Prince, master of the broadsword, is giving O'Rourke the fight of his life. Chambret arrives just in time to keep the Prince's companion from shooting O'Rourke. The Prince drives O'Rourke into a corner and is about to kill him, when a secret panel in the wall opens and Delphine pulls O'Rourke into darkness and safety. They come out on a small hill across from the Inn, and as they look back they see Chambret getting away in his car and exchanging shots with the Prince and his companion. O'Rourke endeavors to thank Delphine and she divulges her identity to him. They start for the hunting lodge, where she has her other clothes. Later, Chambret is captured by troopers of the Prince and taken to the hunting lodge. Delphine and O'Rourke arrive and are also captured. The Prince, thinking himself an expert with the sword, tells O'Rourke and Chambret that in a gentleman's way he intends to kill them both, and he proceeds. They fight and O'Rourke proves to be the better man with the rapier. The Prince, to save his life, tells him where the child is hidden, but when O'Rourke has given him his mercy, the Prince attempts treachery and O'Rourke kills him. O Rourke tells the Duchess of the whereabouts of her child, and she is full of gratitude and love for him, and attempts to embrace him, and he, forgetting for an instant, takes her in his arms. A vision appears of his friend Chambret on one side and Princess Beatrix on the other. He breaks away from her and starts on his way to further adventure.
