Sales Bring Good Values i'm Household Fur

Al certain seasons Of the year, when there
is little demand for furniture. manufacturers
find it desirable to make special terms with
the shops in order to increase their orders, and
thus enable them 10 continue their business

MAKER, Broadway and 9th St, has in this
way been enabled to offer good values in a
special sale, now in progress in the furniture
department. For people Of limited means to

consideration. For instance, bedroom may

about $50 the set, while the same might be done
for the dining room for SIS. This week there

obtained in the silverware department. A sill

act quickly. Tell me, what happened
them"
1.-THE Count Frederick allowed her
to escape-strangely, he seemed to
have small resentment for her after
all. Nor did he have too much for
Roleau, whom he must have ranked a
wholly faithless servant He did not
punish him-but even sent him off
after the girl! Excellency, my word
for it, he seemed to miss the girl as
much as the coin-did Count Fred
erick."
Follow them then, Bartel. Follow
Roleau-if you can find him-he will
lead you to the girl, wherever she may
be. For myself, I cannot guess"
It was this counsel, followed dill
gently by the unhappy messenger of
Count Sachio, which resulted in a
quick shifting of the forces Of Kitty's
enemies. It was true Roleau had
gained access to a point within sight
of Kitty's window, where still he
tried to be of aid to her-still hoped
she soon would be able to aid herself.
But here he was surprised by these
emissaries OF Count Sachio-it was
none less than the nobleman himself
who led the forces now.
Therefore when, after all her toll,
Kitty at length managed to make her
escape through the barred window, it
was hut TO find herself once more a
prisoner-Roleau once more a prisoner
with heri The fact of captivity had
not changed-only the phases of cap
tivity. She and her ally had only ex-
changed captors. Who her last prison
guardian had been Kitty could not
tell. Now, without doubt, she was
once more tn be subjected to the scant
courtesy of the nobleman of (irahof-
fen.

who waited for him impatiently
enough at the rendezvous which had
been established.
well. well. then, Bartel," exclaimed
the count, "why the delay? What's
wrong? You are not going to tell me
the same story that Rudolph brought
you have not failed?"
The shamefaced look of the other
gave him his own answer. Count
Sachio himself gave way to hearty
curses of all incompetence.
"The count retained one-half the
coin," went on the unfortunate mos
senger. 'I don't know which it was.
The girl-the young American-got
the other piece. ! saw her pick it up.
But she did not get both! / don't
know which one she did get, but /
know that each has one-half-the

reach, For the time Kitty was OF the
belief that her senses must leave her
forever. The sense of solitude was
poignant torture.
How long she had thus remained
she could not tell, when at length the
close-ftting door In one side of the
four walls opened. An old woman
came In, bringing some food for her.
Kitty tried her in every language
which she had ever known, but got no
answer. The old woman shook her
head, and after a time retreated ST.
lently as she had come.
Getting no answer to her appeal for
help, Kitty sat down once more, fight
ing herself to retain her faculties, her
calm, her poise. Escape? How could
there be hope for that? For once she
was at her wits end as she looked
about her. She sat moody and silent.
too dazed, suffering toe much, too un-
certain in her own mind to plan intel
ligently any course of action. She
was brought to herself somewhat by
hearing the tinkle of some object on
the floor at her feet.
1t was bit of stone wrapped tight
ly in a little wad of paper. Surely
it had been meant as some communi-
cation to her-from someone outside
the room. 1t must have come through
the window.
She opened the paper and smoothed
1t out. AS she read it she wondered
how many other persons there were in
this strange country who could claim
acquaintance with her own plans.
Better write an imaginary story for
your paper and return to America.
Give up the coins and you will gain
your freedom. Refuse and you will
fare badly"
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1915-09-03

These strange words suddenly
brought Kitty back to a train of
thought which for the time had been
broken. She felt quickly at her bosom
and at her waist for the bit of coin
which she had brought away from
Count Frederick's room. 1t was gone!
At some time during her journey from
Count Frederick's palace to this place
long or short whether it had been,
she could not tell-the coin had been
taken from her.
Kitty sprang to the sill Of the little
window and peered out for an in
slant; but her hold was too feeble.
She sank back, not seeing what would
have given her great joy to see.
Apparently some eye had caught
appearance. In truth, Roleau, hound
like, had run his game to earth. 1t
was he who had caught sight Of her
just for an instant. Later she heard
once more the tinkling of some falling
object upon the floor. She picked it
up-it was a substantial file, which
evidently had been flung through the
window by someone having the intent
to aid her. This thought gave her hope.
Almost as soon as she grasped it she
fell to work at the bars which had re.
strained her.
Meantime, at the scene from which
she had been so unceremoniously alb
stracted but now, Count Frederick re-
NAMED still bordering on the strange
events which had been brought home
so close to him. He was too much
preoccupied in his concern over the
young woman's disappearance to note
carefully anything else that went on
about him. When one of his house
hold placed a message in his hand, for
the time he gazed at it, scarce COM
pretending that it came from the roy
al palace.
Since he had left unattended the
servant of Count Sachio, whom he
had found in his own room, the latter
seized the present opportunity TO es-
cape from the place and to find his
own master, Count Sachio himself
