CHAPTER XII.
King Michael to the Rescue.

King Michaei TO the Rescue.
In Gretzhoffen capital matters had
gone ill enough this day. The popu,
lace was on edge with excitement
over the mysterious murder.
The project of police was furious
over the results of the days work. He
knew that for some time he had been
under the kings suspicion for laxness
ia the administration of his Office and
felt that it was time to make some
example, to produce some proof of his
own vigilance.
"You, Anselm, you Du Brock" he
ordered two of his most trusted men
Ego out-find these people-we must
have them in our own hands. Turn
night into day and day into night un-
til you have them once more. The
girl is with them-be sure of that
find her and you will find Roleau, the
answer to all these riddles"
These members of his staff, thus ad-
jured, made their way out, none too
happy at the task assigned them, for
they knew well enough that now they
were to cope with active brains and
active bodies. Learning that the es-
cape of the accused had been made by
the railway train, for time they hung
about the station in search of further
news. They spent some hours there

time to talk. Well, then, will you con-
tinue to fight fair If join you as ally
against Grahoffen in this case?"
1T is agreed" said Count Frederick,
Eyes! And let fortune later determine
between us as to which of us ulti-
mately shall own the coin. Where is
he?"
"He passed forward but now" said
Kitty.
They &urned once more to seek the
guard. Once more he led them for
ward. This time they all took con-
cealment back of door which Bartel
must pass as he left the train.
Nervous, eager to be off the train
and into safety as soon as might be,
Bartel was early in hurrying his lug
gage to the door, and himself followed
it even before the train was coming
to its stop at Grahoffen town. He
passed by the place of concealment Of
the three conspirators, and hearing
some slight sound turned to see the
face of Count Frederick staring
time the iron arm of Roleau cast about
his neck. The sinewy fingers of Count
Frederick supplemented the assault Of
his man, and between these two Bartel
was helpless. He felt hand rif1ing
his pockets, but as for himself could
make no outcry. Just as the train
slowed up at the entrance into the
yards, they flung him to the floor,
where he lay limp.
81 have it, cried Count Frederick,
and held up the Gretzhoffen half coin
before Kitty's eyes. He placed it then
in his own pocket.
why not give it to Roleau as an
impartial third party?" asked Kitty
demurely.
Count Frederick caught the chal-
lenge and responded to it.
Very WE'LL" said he. "Roleau him.
self shall be the lord high keeper of
the coin until further orders. But look
yonder."
AS he handed Roleau the coin, he
nodded now to the window, behind
which could be seen the ranked SOL
diery of Grahoffen, filling the space Of
the station platform. Apparently they
had been summoned to receive the
agent of the king.
They passed back swiftly to the rear
Of the train, and as it came to stop
all three of them dropped off on the
farther side. While the officials and
the soldiery were searching the train
the fugitives were making their way
off to the mountain side where there
seemed at least some slight chance
of escape from discovery.

such silent answer as they could. Each
drew his weapon and prepared it for
what might next ensue.
1--WE can hold them for a little
time" said Count Frederick, judicia4ly.
But we must not lose-cur cause

not give up! If myself could escape

cit is good plan," said Count Fred
erick. suddenly. There is danger in
it, but not so much for you as for
either of us. You are good on your
feet, mademoiselle what shall ]
say"
But Kitty had made her own re-
solve. Roleau extended his hand to
her. She took the coin into her pos
session, unseen by Frederick. A mo-
ment later she was speeding away,
crouching, attempting to cut in ahead
of the mounted men below.

Would you take me yonder, Mar

The woman crossed herself devoutly.

turning to her couch and feigning
WEAKNESS. 81 will call you. Margot."
Kitty listened until her footballs had
quite died away; then, swiftly, she en-
gagged herself upon the errand which
all this time she had been planning.
She stole from her own apartments
into the hall, passed along 1t toward
the farther corner where stood the tow.
er, until she came to another stair.
Arrived upon this floor, she found her
self unnoticed-that part Of the pal.
ace was deserted.
Trusting only to 2 general sense
Of direction, she passed on and down
finding her own way through the
labyrinth of passages, until at length
she had reached the subterranean
vaults which lay beneath the main ed.
ifice of the palace building.
About her now lay dampness, 81.
lence. The gloom of it all weighed
heavily upon even her stout soul, used
as she was by this time to terrors.
But still she pushed on, the little can
die which she had brought with her
lighting the gloom at least family.
She could not tell now where she
was. Only there came to her the
Vague conviction that If there were
secrets in the palace this was the
way to find them. Therefore she fol-
lowed such passageways as opened
from time to time ahead.
There were walls of rock now on
each side of her, whether of heavy
masonry or hewn granite she could
not tell, her light fiickered so family
on them. But at length she found her
self at the end Of the winding pass.
ageway. A heavy door stood before
her.
Kitty flashed her light this way and
that to see IL she could find trace Of
any other visitors. The dust of the
floor lay unbroken. Dust, fine, impal
pable, lay on the great metal latchet
of the door itself. There was a lock.

but departed just too soon to welcome
the return of one Of the fugitives they
sought--none less than Kitty Gray
herself!
Safe from immediate pursuit, Kitty
paused for a little rest and little
food What should she dc? For a
time she was undecided, but presently
her resolution was made.
81 will try it, said she to herself.
I will go to the palace direct. / will
see If can get access to the king!"
And thither, forsooth, she did turn
her way.
Rank by rank of the guard she
passed by this way or that, wheedling
them, threatening them, bribing them,
until she found herself within the
doors of the palace
'Mademoiselle, again!" exclaimed
King Michael. Welcome, then" His
notified face did indeed express graft
f1cation at seeing her once more.
Kitty first made apology for her
disordered apparel 81 ask your ma
jesty's pardon" said she, "for my
plight. / am sure of my welcome only
because of the news I bring-I am
from the front-the war;"
"The front-the war-mademoiselie
what do you mean? What war? We
are not at war;" But even as he spoke
the blood shrank back from his face.
There is war, your majesty, if /
may say it." rejoined the young girl.
"Yonder at the edge of the neutral
lands, this side of Grahoffen, men are
lighting Their army is out-they have
besieged our people,"
Our people?-Who are our peo-
ple?"
Two only-one a friend of your
majesty--another Of my own"
"Meaning?"
None less than Count Frederick of
Gretzhoffen is there besieged at a lit
tie pass in the mountains. With him
is Roleau, my servant, whom you do
not know. Horsemen were all about

the little pass as best they could
But what caused all this-why
were they besieged"
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1915-10-01

Drawer than that, these men of Ora
hoffen!"
Something has happened below
there" rejoined Count Frederick. 1--WE
could not hold out against their forces
and it is not fear that has halted
them.
They turned in the other directing
gazing across the edge of the plain
along the upper Gretzhoffen roadway
A cloud of dust was advancing swift
ly. "Who goes there, master?" said
Roleau. Are they men of this king
dom or of our OWN"
The eyes of Count Frederick kin
died at the sight. "By the Lord!'
said he, 'the girl has won! Now they
are coming-it is police duty for
neither of these, but army against
army! Will it be war, or peace?"
In the event, it proved to be peace.
The counsel of Count Sachio pre-
vailed. Cortislaw's Unborn prudence
held back his hand even now, angered
as he was at this failure to secure pos.
session of the coveted coin on which
he counted so surely to mend his own
waning fortunes. He sent forward a
band of trumpeters with white flag
for parley. They met the advancing
forces of King Michael. There were
explanations, apologies. Within an
hour after the dust cloud first had
been discovered, Count Frederick was
shaking the hand of his own monarch
and making such explanations as he
might of this scene of turbulence.
There were two of us only, your
majesty" said he, laughing, and point
ing up the mountain side to the steep
ridge they had left. 1.-TWO, beside the
young woman"
Eyes, yes-she came-she brought
the news. You owe your safety to her,
as usual"
The pourparler at length ended, the
two bodies of armed men saluted, each
dipping its banner to the other. And
so, with much sounding of trumpets,
each turned back In its own direction.
The leaders OF each army turned back
as well to problems of their own. The
coin was now in Gretzhoffen-or half

yes, vast and cumbersome affair of
iron. She tried it. 1t did not yield.
Where then was the key. IL there was
one?
With no special plan, she cast her
light here and there along the wall.
She found at last, near to the jamb Of
the heavy door, an iron prong project
ing from the wall. on II a vast and
rusty bit of iron-the key.
With all her strength she twisted
the great key. At length she felt the
lock turn, yield. One moment she
halted. and then threw her weight

lently. She found herself within.

CHAPTER XII.
The ESCAPE.

ne Escape.
The grind of the wheels under the
brakes had hardly ceased when high
official of the court of Grahoffen
sprang aboard the train, looking this
way and that expectantly, peering
through the windows and doors of
coach after coach. But he did not find
the man he sought. Hurrying through
the last car of the train, at last he
half-stumbled over the limp form Of
Bartel lying on the floor where Ro-
leau's arm had flung him, neck and
crop.
Quick here!" he called out. Here's
murder-but by whom? Where have
they got to? After them, men!"
But now some sort of answer to their
questioning came in a shout from the
station platform. Someone was point
ing beyond the train up the mountain
side. The official sprang forward.
After them, men! They must have
done this" cried he. "They have what
we seek"
A band of mounted men an instant
later rode out of the station in full
pursuit of the fugitives. They raced
down the road, toward a bridge which
spanned the stream ahead.
Look yonder, excellency!" ex-
claimed Roleau at length, as he turned
and faced down the slope to gaze at
these pursuers. They will cut us OFF
on ahead. Look-they are riding for
the bridge"
He looked this way and that, as the
three paused uncertain. At last his
eyes fell upon vast bowlder that lay
near by the edge of the ridge upon
which they stood. He cast a swift
glance below, lining up the course of
the bowlder straight down to the
bridge below. Bracing himself, he
threw his shoulders against the bowl
der, exercising every ounce of his own
prodigious strength.
The advancing soldiery heard the
roar of the coming stone, saw how i'm
minent was the danger from it, but
some of the riders were already at
the bridge itself as it struck. 1t
crashed through the timbers as If
they had been straw. What had been
the bridge was a ruin. Horses, riders
ali were carried down into the
stream below.
Come, now" cried Kitty's compan-
ion to her once more as they saw the
pursuit arrested. "On ahead there
may be a better place-we may yet
get through If we hasten"
At length, well-nigh spent, they
flung themselves down in this place Of
greater security. Far below they
could see mounted men still coming.
Count Frederick and Roleau made

Your majesty, It is because they
want what belongs here in Gretzhoffen
they covet the Gretzhoffen COIN
THE coin? What coin? Impossi-
BILE! I have it myself-at least a
half of it, mademoiselle."
"You-your majesty-how can that
be? For see. / myself have it fed
with it to get safety for it"
King Michaels wits were not quick
enough to meet this sudden demand
upon them.
1T travels, that coin-I would not
believe that you could have 1t. So now
they think he has it and have COW
eted it? Shall yonder ruffian Cortis-
law take from us that which is ours
No, mademoiselle, you are right! You
are faithful messenger to bring us
this news. Listen, myself will go to
the rescuer
Your majesty speaks as a king
said Kitty Gray.
Pompously, the less rapid for his
avoirdupois, King Michael turned now
to the halls
Call out the guard" he command
ed. Sound the bugles now and bring
me my officers here. Quick, equip me
you men-we must ride-the troops
must FORM
The word passed quickly. Within
the half hour iron hoofs rang on the
pavements of Gretzhoffen avenue as
the guard, their sovereign at their
head, rode out at speed.
Left in the care of one of the house
hold women, Kitty was shown to a
room of her own, where she might
the better arrange her apparel and
dispose herself for rest. She did
not know anything of Sachio's pres.
ence in the palace-indeed, Michael
himself had not been aware of that;
but that crafty individual, readily
enough learning what was meant by
all this excitement, himself sped away
from the palace even before the guard
was out.
On the mountain side where they
had been left, Count Frederick and
Roleau, once master and man, now
partners elbow to elbow in com.
mon cause, lay and looked down.
AS they looked they saw the ad.

be said for Grahoffen. The old king,

 Members of the grand jury which has been in session here until yestor- day. said after taking a temporary ad- jourument that on reconvening they would take up number of cnarees and rumors which had been afloat since the egislalure had adjourned.
