dreadful old man. she cried, abject

He grttted his teeth and turned
away.
Late in the afternoon Anna Cromer
appeared before Them accompanied
by two of the men, q she com
handed the girl to come Ffth.
She was in the outer room for the
better part of an hour listening to
Anna Cromer and Nine. Drovnask,
who dinned the praises of the great
Count Marlanx into her ears. They
bathed the girls face and freshened
her garments. 1t occurred to her that
she was being prepared for visit Of
the redoubtable Marlanx himself and
put the question plainly.
''No, said Anna Cromer Hes not
coming here. You are going to him.
He will not be Count Marlanx after
tomorrow, but Citizen Marlanx, one
Of the people, one of U.s."
Little did they know Marlanx.
Julius and Peter will come for you
tonight" said Nine. Droynask. with
an evil, suggestive smile
TruXton was beginning to tremble
with the fear that she would not be
returned to their room when the door
was opened and she came in.
Some time in the tense, suffocating
hours of the night they heard the
sounds of many footsteps shutting
about the outer room. There were
hoarse, cultural, subdued goodbys and
well wishes, the creaking of heavy
doors and the dropping of bolts.
Eventually King, who had been lis
tening alertly, realized that but two of
the men remained in the room, Peter
Brutus and Julius Spantz.
An hour crept by and another King
was groaning under the suspense. The
time was too slowly approaching
when he was to attempt the most des-
perate act in all this sanguinary trag-
edy.
He had told her of his plan. She
knew the part she was to play. And
it all went well-ah, then!
Suddenly he started to his feet, his
jaws set, his eyes cleaning. The tele-
graph instrument was clicking in the
outer room.
Taking his position near the girl,
who was crouching in real dismay, he
leaned against the wall, his hands be-
hind him, every muscle strained and
taut
The door opened. and Julius spantz,
bewhiskered and awkward, entered.
He wore raincoat and storm hat and
carried rope in one of his hands.

to snatch the revolver from his coat

to the girl, pressing the revolver into
her hand, "and shoot if you have tor

unconscious mans mouth. The long
coat and boots were jerked from his
limp body before his hands and feet
were bound with the rope he carried.
The bushy whiskers and wig were re-

Then the boots, coat and hat found a
new wearer.
Peter Brutus was standing in the
stairway leading to the sewer.
Hurry up, julius" he called i'm
peratively. They are below with the
boat"
When a tail, grunting man emerged
from the inner room bearing the limp
figure of girl in frayed raineoat he
did not wait to ask questions, but rush
ed over and locked the cell door. Then
he led the way down the narrow stair
way. His only reply to Kings gut
tural remark in the Graustark Ian
guage was:
Don't speak, you fool Not word
until we reach the river
A moment later the girl was being
lowered through the hole into rough,
eager arms. Brutus and his compan-
ion dropped through, the secret block

noiseless boat that had come up to

aen were not afraid of alarming the
Watchn1en on the docks or the man at
the gate above. Suddenly it came TO
him that there would be no one there
to oppose the landing of the miscre-
ants. No doubt hundreds of men al
ready had stolen through these gates
during the night, secreting themselves
in The Businesses of the city, ready for
horrow's fray.
They rushed up the narrow railway
chutes and through one of the numer-
Gus gateWays that opened out upon the
barge docks. No one opposed them.
No one was standing guard From be-
hind came the sound Of rushing foot
steps Lightning flashed in the sky,
and the rumble of thunder broke over
the desolate night.
They'll see us by the lightning"
gasped Tfuxton, almost ready to drop
frGm faintuess and exhaustion.
Following a vivid fash of lightning,
two shots were fired by the men who
were now pIunging up through the
gates. a hundred yards or more away.
The same fash OF lightning showed
to King the narrow, muddy street
that stretched ahead Of them. Instead
of doing the obvious thing he turned
sharply to the left, between the lines
of freight cars. Their progress was
slow
At last they came to the end Of their
rope They We're literally up against
the great city wall.
A car door stood open in front of
them. He waited for a second flash
of lightning to reveal to him the ma
trre of its interior. 1t was quite emp
ty. Without hesitation he clambered
in and pulled her up after him. They
fell over on the floor, completely fag-
ged.
A few minutes later the storm broke.
He managed to close the door against
the driving torrents.
We've fooled them he managed to
whisper close to her ear. They won't
look here. You're safe, Lorraine. Cad,
