WINCHESTER. Va. May 22-Pre-
liminary to lifting the quarantine against
the foot and mouth cattle disease in
Frederick county, it is expected that
representative Of the federal and state
governments will meet here in day or
two and make a complete inspection of all
farms that have been fumigated and
otherwise disinfected.
The stamping out of the foot and mouth
disease in this immediate section has re-
quired great deal of time and effort.
1t has been lawful for some time to ship
cattle for immediate slaughter. The bus-
ness generally, however. has not been
profitable.
Restocking of farms in Frederick coun-
ty will likely be permitted in few days.
The lifting of the quarantine generally
may become effective in the course Of sew
eral weeks, provided that none of the
new cattle contract the malady.

"Who are you. then?' demanded the prefect of Count Sachio.
 q am Count Sachio of Grahaffen," replied the latter none too happy at the situation in which he found him. self.
 Might l suggest to monsieur le prefect that we hasten," interrupted Count Frederick gently enough.
 The prefect had seen many women, not all of them innocent. He smiled grimly enough now as he noticed the beauty of the young girl, who stood pale and not wholly collected in all this turmoil. The girl now turned to him, and for the first time spoke.
 Monsieur le prefect," said she, you cannot make guilt out of innocence. I can prove to you by this clerk and all these others that l was absent from the hotel for several days. When I came back it was but for a short time. 1 was absent when this crime was discovered. How can you con- meet me with it? Rather connect with it those who have had access to my room during my aDsence.
 The official turned toward her thoughfully, then to the captain of gendarmes Have you searched all these persons?" he inquired. The lat ter shook his head.

 Without hesitation Kitty presented her handbag, drew out from it her lit- tie portemonnaie, even turned inside out the pocket of her frock. Count Frederick watched her closely as she did so. He saw that none of the off cers discovered the piece of coin. He suspected. although he did not know, that Kitty had palmed it under her thumb as she spread out her hands. asking them to certify themselves.
 The gendarmes, their captain, the prefect of police. turned away non plussed The prefect hesitated as he faced the calm dignity of the noble man.
 Your excellency," said he at length. 'T dislike to ask of you the right of search. l comply only with formal. ities. If your excellency-"
 Certainly" said Count Frederick, and threw open his coat.
 The prefect Of police turned to his men. "We have not yet found all of those parties who may be concerned with this crime. We have not yet held our questions on the scene of the crime itself.
 They turned, all of them. now and approached the stairway which led to the floor upon which were located Kitty's apartments. Their numbers quite filled the hall as they advanced, preceded and followed by gendarmes. But suddenly, as they approached the spot they sought the captain of gend. armes touched the arm of his superior and pointed ahead.
 That is the man who escaped" exclaimed he. "Roleau, here he is, and coming from the room itself! But who is that with him?'

CHAPTER xxxvI.
The Body of the Crime.

It had been easy for Roleau, once he was free of the immediate presence of the officers. to spring into the near est alleyway and quickly pass from sight. While the officer. in charge of his more distinguished prisoners. was passing in the car toward the front en- trance of the Hotel Ritz. Roleau him. self was speeding thither almost as quickly through devious passageways which led to the rear of the hotel.
 Attaining entrance at the rear, he sped up the back stairs. and found himself once more at the apartments of Kitty Cray
 What he saw caused even his stout nerves to quail for the time On the floor before him, with face half turned anl arms outflung. lay the victim of the last adventure connected with the mysterious Gretzhoffen coin
 Roleau did not know this man at first, but he seemed not of Gretzhof- fen. Rather his garb betokened him to come from the kindred kingdom of Grahaffen.

New Problems.


 Meantime the agencies of the law were in charge of another situation which but now had arisen in the des- tiny of the dynamic Gretzhoffen coin. There had been murder done but now over this coin. The city was exerting all its force usually employed in the preservation of life and property. Swiftly cordon of troops and of the local gendarmerie had been summoned into action. The exits of the town were guarded. The gendarmes filled the streets nearby, some guarding the crossings, others converging toward the point of greater interest, whence the alarm had come-the Ritz hotel
 What is this, monsieur" demanded the officer, as he approached the desk, his quick eyes glancing over every de- tail about him. Remain here, all of you. Let no one attempt escape. What is this, them"
 We do not know, captain" began the clerk, who acted as spokesman. This maid brings the alarm; she de- clares man has been found killed in one of our apartments.
 What room was it, monsieur"
 That belonging to young Ameri- can woman, Miss Cray
 Where is she?''
 T do not know, captain. She was here but now. We did not see her en- ter, but saw her leave. She and her man come and go often-somewhat mysteriously. I must admit"
 When was she here last?"
 Within the hour, l was about to say"
 And who was with her?'
 Her man, whom l have just men, toned. They came in, apparently from the country; apparently from travel They came in at the rear en- trance. so it seems. Soon after her arrival a gentleman inquired for her.
 And where is that gentleman"
 The clerk looked about him. Count Sachio by this time had approached the door, and would have been glad enough to pass out. Detained by the porter for time, he now had met the gendarmes, who allowed no one to leave the place. The captain ap- preached him.
 Monsieur, you must join us for a time" and led him toward the desk, where he resumed his questioning of the hotel force.
 'Is this the gentleman" he inquired of the clerk. The latter nodded.
 What did this gentleman say?"
 He asked me where was the charm ing young woman, the American. He said he had known her before"
 Has anyone else inquired for the young American lately? Has anyone else been in her apartments?"
 The clerk considered for an instant. "One other, monsieur le capitaine, yes"
 "Who-when was it?"
 "A gentleman whose name I dislike to speak in public"
 Speak: it is the law"
 "Very we'll, then, it was Monsieur le Counte Frederick of Gretzhoffen."
 "The Count Frederick, when was he here?"
 ''Ah, that was before the return of the young woman from an absence of several days"
 The officer turned to his men. Those of you who remain" he said, will guard all these whom we have questioned here. Prevent ali from leaving the hotel. I must go to find the Count Frederick himself and bring him here. Perhaps through him we may find something of the where abouts of the young woman herself. Once we find her we have found the solution of this crime"
 Who was the victim?" he demand ed of the clerk.
 That We cannot say. This maid alone has seen."

 nao managed to trap the intruder; knew nothing of the cause of the long silence on the part of Kitty, whom he had left alone in the counts apart ments.
 As for the attendants of the palace itself, no alarm came from them. In truth, they all were in the front part of the building, grouped near the great windows or the street door, whither they had been called by certain alarms They had seen hurrying troops, had heard the challenge of the officers of the law. That challenge came closer to them. A little group of men march ing hurriedly, men in uniform, now ascended the great stairs. A loud rap- ping came at the doors of Count Fred ericks palace. Open, in the name of the king!' came the summons.
 The servants, terrified, lacking the command of their master, not know ing where that master was, knew no alternative but to obey. The door was opened. The captain of gendarmes and his squad entered
 The master of this place. he de- manded of the men who met him. Where is he? Is he at ho1l e?'
 'We do not know" stammered the major domo, the first to speak
 Roleau caught some sense of what was coming on, saw the men approach ing, and darted back to warn his mis- tress, whose long delay he could not understand. He hurried swiftly, on tip-toe, along the halls he knew so well, and naturally met no opposi- tion. He reached the door of the room in, and found the room empty. He turned this way and that, not knowing what to do, and fearing to turn back toward the main stairway, passed deeper to the rear
 All at once he heard the voice of Kitty, loud and clear: "Roleau. Rol- eau A moi! Vite, Vite,"
 He hastened on down the hall, knowing that his mistress was oLce more in some desperate plight. and so found himself at length face to face at the foot of the staircase with the Count Frederick, who turned to meet him.
 "Eh bien, Roleau?" smiled the lat ter. What, again?" You are most faithful, shall I say most industrious, in the service of this lady? I would you had been so devoted in my own"
 "As you please, master" replied Roleau, with aplomb. But where is she?"
 She seems safe" said Count Fred erick coolly, and waved a hand.
 Roleau came front to front against the iron grille doors which barred egress for the inmate of the little prison. He shook at the bars in frenzy as he saw her She approached him. her eyes wide with joy at his coming
 So then, this was why," cried Ro- leau. Open this gate, I say" In his passion he forgot his own position and turned on his master, ordering him as though Count Frederick him. self were the servant in this place.
 "Roleau, you will yet exhaust my patience. This is my home. I have had almost enough of your running back and forth in it as you like This is the last time. Out of here, you fel- low"
 "ls 1t so?" grinned Roleau savagely, his own mind upon the main situation of menace to his mistress There

plevin my property by process of law, what shall I do-wait and lose it, or take my own when I find it?"
 Count Frederick smiled at this.
 You claim the coin also by that law" said he. ''Very we'll, claim my picture by that law. Possession is nine points of the law of any land, Will you trade this for that?"
 "No," spitefully.
 There is no bargain concluded said he. 50 then I suppose we will wait here until doomsday."
 Yes" viciously.
 Agreed, then, mademoiselle. With your permission, may l light cig- arctic? Till doomsday! 1 would rather spend my time here than any place know"

 Roleau, guardian of the fortunes of his mistress, had remained at that portion of the palace which seemed to him most useful as coign of van tage in watching against intrusion. He had not been aware of the quiet advance of Count Frederick when the latter had been summoned by the cleo tric bell set of by Kitty's presence in his own apartments. He knew noth- Ing of the device by which the count

Anger

The delegate who truly wise is,
won't rave around. and paw the

rises, you do your system grievous
hurt. Go ask the doctor, if you re

the ton and he will say, You bet
You're shouting! For anger
shortens lives, my son." Oh, when
with senseless rage you CULVER,
YOU heat your blood, Cypress your
heart. disorganize your patient
liver, and quite upset your apple
cart. Not. only that, but when
you're frantic, and rant around
and jaw and scold. the people note
your curve and antic, and say
your head should be half-soled.
Employers, too, will not desire
you. they will not like your hot
head style: they'll try you once,
and then they'll fire YOU so hard
You'll bounce for half mile.

larger contingent from which to draw
trained military strength in emergency
