Gretzhotfen was not worth having un.

missing coin. Frederick cared not to
be penniless king, and only the unit.

hoffen actual wealth and actual power.
The murmurs of the people, vague,
indefinite, had from time to time been
audible at the open door of the grand
entrance.

They began to edge towards the pal
ace steps, dark. dense mass. The
soldiery were not eager to oppose
them with steel. The soldiers were
themselves of the people. Moreover,
they had had small cause for loyalty
to the king and court of Gretzhoffen.
They were i'll paid and ill governed.
The people lacked leadership. Count
Frederick had hinged his own plans
of action upon one event-the public
disgrace Of the king-and that event
had not occurred.
He frowned as he stood looking out
over the dense mass which filed the
streets. Even he began to feel, al
most in spite of himself, some sort of
vague pity for these less fortunate
ones.
Still over the voice Of the strings
and reeds rose the low mutterings of
the mob, strange to hear, Impossible

King Michael heard this sound. All
heard it, this voice OF the people, as
yet undecided. The kings face paled
terror smote home upon his soul
The courage Of his usual alcoholic
stimulant being tonight denied him,
his weak nerves gave way.
He saw Count Frederick, now re-
turning to the salon, from the great
entrance door. The latter saw the ter
ror on his monarch's face, and recog
nized on the instant the opportunity
for himself to strengthen his own po
sition in the kings good graces.

nobleman, now advancing and offering
his hand, forgive me! l was in faul,

He slipped In now from the gallery,

At Count Sachio'a lodoe.

| At Count Sachio'o Lodge,
| Such speed did Roleau manage to
get out of his own car that Kitty and
he arrived at the hunting lodge OF
Count Sachio we'll In advance of all
others bound thither that eventful
morning,
Kitty and Roleau moved about very
much as they pleased after their entry.
1t pleased them best to hide them
selves in small room adjacent to the
main hall where they fancied the main
events of the day would perhaps find
enactment. A door and window made
connection between these two rooms,
and behind the curtains in the smaller
room they fancied they could be suf
ficiently concealed.
But there were others who had an
interest in the events to occur in the
hunting lodge of Count Sachio that
morning The tangled skein of the
mysterious coin was expanding, draw
ing in yet others. Hardly had Kitty
and Roleau secreted themselves be-
fore they heard footballs under the
window of the gallery which ran along
that side of the chalet. They won

what his purpose.
1t was somewhat later before they
heard the mingling Of voices and the
sound of footballs

why has he not come? What has
gone wrong?"
But none could explain to him why
Rudolph had not arrived-nor at the
time did either Kitty Of Roleau know
who or what Rudolph might be-al-

hand and foot In Count Frederick's
palace. Nor could any of these pres
ent know that before this time Count
Frederick himself, returning to his
palace. had found yonder intruder
bound and left helpless. in his own
private apartment. The man had
made such excuses as he could by de-
claring that he had been robbed and
thrown in the room by a ruffian, as
sisted by beautiful woman. And
Count Frederick finding on the floor
OF his own apartment a tiny handker-
chief, had needed scarce more than
one guess as to who that young WON.
an had been.
But as to all these side scenes
which had been enacted, Count Sachio
was altogether ignorant. Where's fore
ne now walked up and down, now ex-
claiming his own doubts. His irrita-
ton was obvious enough to Kitty as
she peered through the yelled curtain
and strained her ears to learn what
he was saying.
Even as she stood intent on what
was going on in the main room, Ro-
ieau close at her side, also absorbed:

silently up and looked in upon them
