Kitty slipped from the room. The
hall was empty. An instant later she
was out of the great entry and passing
TO her car.
At her hotel once more she hurried
to her room Here was somewhat to
be done. She knew the plot now-ail
was plain as to the intentions of Fred
erick In regard to the kingdom OF
Gretzhoffen and to the monarch who
held the throne.
"your majesty" she wrote in her
rolling hand now, "the young Ameri-
can so much honored by your gift
which is returned to your care at mid
night tonight-has by chance learned
of plot to injure your majesty and to
injure the kingdom vi Gretzhoffen as
well. Trust her to explain when OPP
portunity shall come. Meantime have
the word of one who is solicitous for
your safety. Drink no wine. Beware" )"
Once more she telephoned to the
bureau OF telegraphs, called for mes
senger, and sent her simple missiye to
the king.

out upon this, braced his legs across,

his mighty arms.

An instant later she was on the iron

A silver bell sounded afar In the
hall. announcing the approach Of a
servant. An Official OF the palace en-
tered and stood motionless near the
door.
What then. Andreas?"
! The Count Frederick OF Gretzhof-
fem the Count Sachio of Grahaifen. !"
"Let them enter, Andreas."
Both gentlemen bowed deeply as
they entered and each kissed the
royal hand respectfully. Kitty ig-
lnored Count Sachio and bowed but
,coldly TO Count Frederick.
Count Frederick, in whose mind
seemed to llnger but scant remem-
:brance of any unpleasant scenes In
which he had figured. smiled now. and

Kitty could not refuse it. Quickly

faced her now.

Kitty looked calmly at the count
and made no reply.

the world who wished him TO drink
wine. Why? Who was that person?
Might II not be this man here-Count
| Frederick--the man whom really he
feared? IL SO. would not feigned in
toxication serve well to discover the
others nature?
Reasoning thus, King Michael with
small exertion OF histrionic art man
aged to give an excellent imitation to
his friend of q monarch far gone in
wine. Frederick, pleading fatigue and
thirst, piled him farther, and Michael
apparently yielded, using still such
arts as served him for the time be-
ing
When, not too long before the ap-
pointed hour of midnight, Frederick
left the palace. he left behind him as
he was assured, monarch hopelessly
fuddled.
So the lights famed on at all the
windows OF the Winter palace.
Suddenly the music broke, crashed
and swept into the national air. A
murmur went about The king The
dancers hastened back to the sides
of the room. All eyes turned toward
the great entrance.
Under the festooned flags, escort
ed by his uniformed officers, himself
wearing all his decorations and garbed
as king should be, there appeared
King Michael of Gretzhoffen.
The hour of midnight struck. The
eyes of more than one man ON the
great dancing floor-including those
of Count Frederick of Gretzhoffen-
looked at the king amazed. Here was
no staggering monarch, maudl.r in his
cups, come to make spectacle of
himself before his people. No. he
walked straight as any. And behind
him from the street there came not
shouts of derision, but something of
welcome, of confidence~-a pitiful ex-
preston of a people willing yet long
er to endure king.
At the kings side, her hand on his
arm, there walked the figure of tall
and beautiful woman, arrayed-as
were all those others present-in
costume of black and white-a tall
young woman whom not many of those
present recognized. A few passed the
word. THE Americani"
The music of the royal anthem
ceased. An instant and the orchestra
broke out once more in the sensuous
strains of a southern waltz. King
Michael as yet did not dance, but he
gave word that the ball should pro-
coed. A uniformed officer of the court
now approached Count Frederick as
he stood not far removed from the
royal presence.
Monsieur, the count" said he de-
ferentially, 81 have had for some
hours in my possession this package
which have not opened. 1t is marked
to be presented to his majesty at mid
night here. Do you think it should be I

his request, by the young woman who

Before the Sail.

In her hotel, albeit something Of 8
subject of gossip, as she herself coulc
not but know, Kitty felt herself al
least safe from any such occurrences
as OF late had been her lot, Roleay
still was missing.
I 1t was the morning of the great
black and white ball when Kitty, hei
gown finally in her own possession
stood before the tall mirror in hel
rooms to give 1t its final proving.
The case on her dressing table now
held but few simple rings and
brooches, trifling things which had
I been given her or which from time
to time she had purchased for her
self
The only thing of value which lay
upon the table was something which
she most wished to conceal, and moi
to display. The broken coin-how
could she make sure that it would be
safe?
Kitty swiftly conceived plan which
she faneied would afford greater safe
ty for the cherished coin. There was
at hand no machinery of ceremony,
even had she been familiar with it.,
"The simplest way is the best" said
she to herself, her lips compressed.
She sat at her desk and inclosed
the broken coin in a double sheet OF
paper Upon one sheet she wrote
these few words
Your Majesty. the young American
woman so honored with this gift asks
its safekeeping for little time"

CHAPTER XIV.
The Ballroom.

The Ballroom.
In his own apartments that evening
Michael the king had passed the time
in somewhat preoccupied fashion. Left
alone, and hence unhappy in his coun-
sells, he welcomed the announcement
of the chamberlain who advised him
of the presence of the Count Sacho of
Grahaffen, who wished to pay his COM
pliments to the king.
Come then, my dear count said
Michael to him. "You are very well
come at this hour. You will have a
glass of our own vintage-I have a
cask of Lucoyen which is quite worth
while"
with all my heart" said Count
Sachio.
The attendant removed the cork
from the bottle reverently, poured
slowly, gently, the amber fluid into
the tall glasses upon the table. 1t was
at that moment that King Michael be-
thought him of certain message
handed to him but left until now un-
opened. He frowned as he looked at
the word, irreverent when addressed
to royalty, and urging haste. I'm
portant' Is it so? What shall do,
my dear count? Throw it away?"
Count Sachio cast glance upon the
inscription.
Your majesty" said he, 1T is In
the hand of lady. BY no means
throw away any letter a woman
writes to youand by no means write
one yourself Am ] not good coun-
SELF"
Smiling, King Michael broke open the
small hotel seal, frowning as he did so
at what seemed to him undue familiar
ity on the part of someone, he knew
not who. But as his eyes ran over
the few lines of the message his ex-
preston suddenly changed. ghe words
remained deeply written on his mind.
Your majesty !. young Ameri-
can ~. drink no wine"
Count Sachio looked on respectfully,
his glass arrested, naturally venturing
no comment. King Michael made no
effort. to turn the conversation. He
left his wine untasted,
