I know we'll enough that II Count

Therefore once more Sachio went
back to his bootless interviews with
Kitty, once more pleading with her TO
give him all knowledge she had OF
the coin. And once more Kitty could
no more than reassure him Of her own
Ignorance of what he wished to
know.
She heard odds and ends of informa'
ton which taught her which way the
wind sat at Grahoffen capital. Some
times she heard Sachio, again Bartel,
again this or that man, speaking
freely of the plans at hand.
Il told the king" said Bartel one
time, speaking to Count Sachio, that
all is ripe for the shaking Of the
tree. l told him that We have full
plans of all their Notifications and de-
fenses-that their resistance will be

From the windows she had a full
view of the well-kept grounds OF the
palace and of the boulevards sur
rounding it. She stood alone one da!
staring out on scenes grown familia
to her. But all at once her gaze grew
more intent, fixed upon some objec

the curb. She did not remember t

and they smiled as now she pushed
past them through the door which led
out to the gardens. She walked out
to the car which stood at the curb,
regarding it curiously, as though it
were the first car she had ever seen
in her life-something very far from
true.
What the guards, who smilingly re-
garded her through the windows,
saw was swift leap Of the girl to the
drivers seat, her rapid movements
with the controlling levers as she cut
on the spark, gave the car gas. threw
in the clutch, threw open the throt-
tie, and drove away, the cut-out muf'

they not undertake to make trouble
for their own purposes with herr"
But what good would come OF
that"
Count Frederick saw that his
argument had gone too far for his
own purposes. He did not care to
tell the king all he knew, yet his
zeal for Kitty had led him far.
Much good might come to Grahoff-

If they knew our secrets. Perhaps
they thought she could give some in

In the Name Of the King.
II was plain enough to Count Sachio
which way Kitty would head In her
fight. Her car was little more than
out of sight on the Gretzhoffen road,
ere Sachio himself was in pursuit.
Count Sachio himself was no blum
derer and no common thief chaser, but
q courtier and a man Of intelligence.
He knew it would be futile to make
q direct demand Of the hotel manage
ment regarding the whereabouts OF
the young American. Therefore, while
he himself approached the hotel desk
to engage the clerks in conversation,
he sent two Of his own men-one OF
them Bartel, the spy, who had oeen
established here so long-by way OF
q rear stairway to find Kitty's room
and report to him what they learned
He stood for some time making po'
lite speeches with the desk men and
the porters, asking for certain infor'

all the time burning with impatience
