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-all
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-

CHAPTER XII.
Before the Ball.


In her hotel, albeit something Of a
subject of gossip. as she herself could
not but know. Kitty felt herself at
least safe from any such occurrences
as Of late had been her lot. Roleau
still was missing.
It was the morning OF the great
black and white ball when Kitty, her
gown finally in her own possession,
stood before the tall mirror In her
rooms to give 1t its final proving.
The case on her dressing table now
held but q few simple rings and
brooches. trifling things which had
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 not
to display. The broken coin-how
could she make sure that 1t would be
safe?
Kitty swiftly conceived plan which
she fancied 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 a little time"

wine. Why? Who was that person?
Might 1t not be this man here-Countl
Frederick-the man whom really he
feared? If SO, would not feigned in,
toxication serve we'll 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 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, q 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 fastened 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

King Michael Of Gretzhoflen.
The hour Of midnight struck. Tne;
eyes Of more than one man on the
great dancing floor-including those
Of Count Frederick of Gretzhoflen-
looked at the king amazed. Here was
no staggering monarch, maudlin In his,
cups, come to make q 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 condolences pitiful ex-'

At the kings side, her hand on his,
arm, there walked the figure of q 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 American"
The music of the royal anthem
ceased. An instant and the orchestra
broke out once more in the sensuous
strains Of q 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 -,
he stood not far removed from the,
royal presence.

ferentially. II have had for some,
hours In my possession this PACKAGE

CHAPTER XIV.
The Ballroom.

NJ o1ljrOom.
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 Sachio 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
| 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 reyerently, 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 "lm-
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

writes to you-and by no means write
one yourself. Am l not good coun.

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. The 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!
Indeed, our people also are grow
ing in audacity," went on Count Sachio
presently. But l pledge your mai.
esty a long and happy reign" He
raised his glass and waited.
Drink heartily, good Count sachio."
said King Michael AS for myself. I
have dined but lately. % l said. Tho
doctors say dreadful things to me.
You excuse me?'
He had poured but . small portion
in his own glass, and raised his hand
against more.
Sachio was obliged to admit to
Count Frederick. whom now he early
sought, that he doubted the full sue
cess of his errand.
Leave him then to me-" ex.
claimed Frederick-"he never fails to
do as ask Make ready for the ball

upturned towards her.
"R0leau!" she exclaimed. Can It
be possible? Rolsau, help mel" Kitty
extended her arms appealingly II am

Roleau's own presence in the palace

An iron grating. with the stairs Of
fire escape, led down directly in

out upon this, braced his legs across,
and back under the rail, and held out
his mighty arms.

An instant later she was on the iron
grating and into the window, and Ro-
leau, gaunt. unshaven, smiling, her
friend and rescuer, had led her to the
door.

ing for any discussion. he hurried out,

and with deep thanks and the best
curtsy she could muster, bowed her
self from the room. after to be es-
corted by a grave official to her car.
