then?"
"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 of
after the girl! Excellency. my word
for It, he seemed to miss the girl as
much as the coin-did Count Fred
erick."

Roleau-if you can find him-he will
lead you to the girl, wherever she may
be. For myself 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. 1t 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. 1t
was but to find herself once more q
prisoner-Roleau once more a prisoner
with her. 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 to be subjected to the scant
courtesy OF the nobleman of Grahof-
fen.

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 1t 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.

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 1t she
fell to work at the bars which had re-

OF Count Saehio's men. He had noted
him at the hunting lodge. He himself
had not time to reason as to the pres

imbroglio, but at last, able to bring
his own weapons into play, he stayed
the issue for time. They both had
time to recognize one another as they
stood. the one as much bafIled as the
other, and neither quite comprehend

confusion could not be concealed The

AS Kitty approached the little room
of the counts palace-which before
now had proved to be something Of q

hoffen coin-there came 10 her the
conviction that there might be others
beside herself who would have some
inkling as to the whereabouts OF the
missing portion OF the coin. and who
might therefore arrive upon the scene
at much the same time as that OF her
own visit. She was not altogether
surprised at the sudden interruption
Of her labors, just at the moment of
her success.
AS she saw herself the object of a
poised weapon. she swerved aside in

she was on the point of surrendering
to him both pieces OF the coin. The

When Kitty in her blind impulse Of
self-preservation sprang out of Count

out of reach of immediate danger, she
paused. loath to leave what she had
come there to obtain, and loath also to
abandon her stout-hearted ally in his
time of stress. She turned back,
paused just outside the door once
more. AS she did SO, yet another door
opening into the hall was pushed
silently ajar-opened fully. Yet an
other man, whom never in her life
had she seen before. now stepped out
She felt hard hand close upon her
mouth more than haif-stifling her
scream for help. "Silencei" she heard
his voice insist. Go on ahead OF me
Once more Kitty undertook to
scream, and again the firm hand
stopped her voice. 1t seemed to her
