CHAPTER VII.

The Count stood moment where she
had left him in speechless amazement.
Then he took hurried step or two in
the direction Of the wood, as though to
follow and bring the madcap back, but
the folly OF this proceeding immediate
ly forced itself on him. He could not
hope to catch her He knew nothing OF
the way by which she had gone. He

undefended. with no one but a wounded
man within.
He bolted the door therefore and ran
up to the higher window which had
been Gertrud's. Cautiously lie looked
out and listened. The night was very
still. Not a breath OF air whispered
among The pine trees.
Cuckoo! cuckoo
The voice OF the bird came from the
direction in which the girl had van
ished The Count took 1t for a coed
omen, and the prayer OF his heart be-
came a thanksgiving.
THAT was little Trudchen's voice. "
said Alt Karl, when the Count Ct. Pol
ten re-entered the room where, in thu
darkness, the old man still kept bis
keen vigil, peering out OF the open WIN
dow across the narrow space which di-
vided them from the woods
Then the Count told Alt Karl all that
his Gertrud had done. But the old sol
der showed no sign OF emotion.
1T is in the hands of Cod he said.
Did she take the revolver
1T is at least gone from the place,
replied the Count.

Rarely had Gertrud's heart beat SO

lawn into the thick bl3ckIess o. tue
woods. Her hand was on her pistol

Presently there came to their ears,
through the rattle of the musketry and
the shouts of the incendiaries, the I'M
mistakahle cavalry cheer and the cat
ter of disciplined steeds, then last OF
all the heady citation Of the deadly
charge. But one there was thas rode
straight up to the door OF the chalet
and dismounted swiftly, mindful Meth
er of friend nor foe
The Count st. Polten-Vassim ran to
open the door.
1t was the little Truda who stood
there, clear and fair in the great light
which shone from his burning castle.
She looked down at her short kirtle,
and the girl who had ridden the caval-
ry charger at the head Of the detach-
ment, stood blushing and ashamed be-
fore him whom she had risked her life
and honor 10 save.
Il brought them" she said weakly,
and then began to cry as If her heart
were broken.
But the Count OF st. Polten- Vassima
clasped the daughter Of his Jadgmeis-
ter in his arms without a word.
1t was fortnight later, and the Count
had returned from Vienna. Ostensibly
he had gone to have the plans prepared
for the new house, which he was to
build by the heights near st. Martin S
Loeb, upon the plateau whence one can
look down upon the red roofs of st. Pol
ten.
Yet as fast as his feet would carry
him he FASTENED to the college which
had assumed its perennial quiet after
the terrors of the siege to which it had
been exposed. AS the Count came near
he heard the ripple of piano in the
little salon. Gertrud was singing a
love song, quaint and old, and the
sound of her voice again brought back
the lonely feeling into the heart of the
Count.
Gertrud came sedately TO the door
and asked him to enter, and would have
gone to find her father But he took
her hand and kept it as he looked away
over to the crest of the hill where his
new chateau was to stand.
"Truda," he said, Il have come all
the way from Vienna to ask if young
girl can love glum, useless fellow like
me-"

and for moment she did not answer.

began at last. her voice quavering.

But" faltered Truda, compelling her
The dark comes swiftly enough
among the wooded foothills of st. Pol
ten. The sun was already set and the
brown shades were cooling into blue
with the rising OF the night mist out Of
the hollow places.
Truda laid her plans rapidly. She
arranged her half dozen guns in a row
and discharged them one after the 9TH
er. lifting them in turn to her shoulder
and firing them into the belt OF wood
land through which she meant to run.
The Count came anxiously upstirs TO see
if she had precipitated a general en-
gagement. But all was still and quiet,
not even the shaking OF branch be-

began so mysteriously just beyond the
grassy slope of the glade. The little
Trudchen thought deeply, ana her
thoughts were Of what she and she
alone could do.
Would it not be possible for her to
run across the lawn, drop into the ra-
vine and there lie hid while the con-
victs were searching for her? From
thence she might be able to make her
way down the bed of the stream TO
Martins Loeb. where the streamlet
spouted through an archway OF stone
down the cliff SIDE. She had clambered
there many a time in search OF wild
flowers, and had descended half way to
st. Polten along the side of the cliff. IL
was true the foothod was exceedingly
precarious even in daylight, consisting
of the merest projections OF the lime
stone rock. But no one had ever at

trayed the presence of the lurking foe
The girl asked the Count to accom-
pany her downstairs for moment
There was something to be done with
which he could help her. So they went
below, and Gertrud very swiftly undid
the fastenings of the back door of the
chalet. Then standing on the doorstep,
she said: "'Now, mean to go down 10
St. Polten by Martins Loch TO bring
up the cavalry. Shut the door swiftly
after new And with that she was gone
out OF his sight, melting into the dusk
like a shadow.

CLEVELAND. o., Aug. 13.-Thirteen
seconds ahead of the Say When, the
Enquirer crossed the finish line just
before SHUTDOWN today, in the Cleve-
land regatta, the winner of the greatest

The Say When had q record of "A miles

Business is Now in Full Running
Order-SOme Dates.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 13-Busi-
ness at the National Democratic party
Headquarters is now in full running
order. The call for the national con-
vertion of Sept. 2 was mailed to the
various states today and an inquiry
was sent asking the members of the
provisional national convention to re-
port at once the dates of the state
conventions called for the purpose of
electing delegates to the national con-
vention So far as reported here. the
following calls for conventions have
been issued:
Vermont, Aug. IS; Maine, Aug, 20;
Texas, Aug. %; Kentucky, Aug. %;
Illinois, Aug. 25 New York, Aug. 27.
In this state no state convention will
be held but on Aug. 26 a mass conven-
ton will be held in each congressional
district for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the state convention, nominat-
ing electors and electing permanent
members of the state committee. The
matter of selecting delegates at large
and nominating electors at large will
probably be delegated 10 the state COM
rnittee. The executive committee has
the promise that some very prominent
men in the politics of the nation will
attend the convention here in Septen-
ber Among those expected are
Rourke Cochran. Ex-Governor Thomas
Waller of Connecticut; General Bragg
and Senator Villas, of Wisconsin,; Sem
ator Gaay, of Delaware; Senator Pal
ner. of Illinois, and Senator Caffrey
of Louisiana.

PECULIAR TO FRISCO.
REFUSAL TO GIVE GOLD FOR SILL
YER CERTIFICATES.
1t is a Practice That Has Been Fol-
lowed For Years and Should
Cause No Immediate Concern.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The treasury
department has received no information
about the alleged refusal of the assistant
treasurer at San Francisco to exchange
gold for silver certificates This is a. prac-
tice that has been followed for years and
is peculiar alone to the San Francisco
treasury. On the Pacific coast, nearly
all the money in circulation is gold and
silver coin, but little paper money being
used. For the convenience of bankers
and others who desired to make shipments
of money to the east, a practice has
grown UP at San Francisco of exchanging
silver certificates for gold. 1t costs less
TO ship $1,000 in paper 10 New York than
$1,000 in coin. In this way the officials
of the sub-treasury gradually made all
forms of money Interchangeable over the
counter. AS a result the sub-treasury
gained from 100000 TO SS000,OCO in gold
annually for the past few years, while
all the other sub-treas uries in the eas
were losing gold. Recently its stock of
gold has been reduced, evidently for
boarding purposes, as San Francisco is
one of two points only where greenbacks
are redeemable-New York being the
other-and for that reason it is presumed
that the practice has been discontinued
of making all moneys interchangeable as
1t was simply a practice and not a treas
ury regulation. Treasury officials say
there was no need of their being informed
of it. If it is resumed they will be equally
in ignorance of the fact.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 13.-The DEM
ocratic state central committee met
here today and discussed the PROPOSE
ton that all silver forces unite on one

to confer with the POpuHst state COM
mittee to ascertain if IL was possible

sion in executive session this morning.

Gus directions carrying their dead and
