How It Works

We've seen both schemes worked out.
One year. with the Cleveland club. La
joie had seven star boxmen, headed by
Addie Joss and Bill Bernhard. For a
while three Of these were badly u OF
condition. and the -four were worked in
turn. with the result that Cleveland
soon swept out ahead. The other three
later returned 10 form, with the result
that when all seven were employed to
suppress h foe. none OF the seven was
nearly as effective a the four had been
when absorbing enough work to move
at top speed.
There are certain pitchers. OF course,
who are unable 70 work oftener than
once every i've or six days. Al Dem
aree belonged to this class. But, In the
main. a husky athlete in good condition
and using his noodle properly can GER
tainly handle s5 ball games from a

sat for time pondering. Yes. she
once more had half the coin-that half
given to her by the king. So far. SO
good. But after all. she was as far
from the ultimate success of her
errand as ever she had been. Her
own half OF the coin-that which she
had brought with her from America
where was it? In the possession of a
certain. tall. strong mana man who
had smiled when dangers threatened
him-a man she hated with all her
soul, as she now persuaded herself.
She ought to hate him with all her
heart-yes. she was sure of that.
Where was he now? At least she had
evened matters with him. Once he
had left her helpless in the desert
now in turn she had left him the pris-
oner of ruthless men. Perhaps he
never again would see the light of day

CHAPTER XIII.
Count saenio and His Friends.

Count Sachio and His Friends.
Far across the neutral lands, beyond
the desert of Intergraffen, in his hunt
ing lodge at the edge OF the forest,
Count Sachio for long hours of uncer-
tainty had nursed his own wrath and
disappointment at the denouement of
the scenes which he had seen take
place about him. Pacing up and down
refusing food or drink. his rage always
turned toward the unhappy agent Ru-
dolph, his unsuccessful messenger.
You. Rudolph of Grahoffen," he ex-
claimed at last, you should have died
rather than betray me! All, you be-
trayed our country as we'll"
The man addressed, now practically
a prisoner, and IL not an object of sus-
picion at least one of hostility, sat
moody and unhappy in the main room
of the lodge.

said he. 81 failed, it is true. But you

There was little window at one

people is the hope of business-the
economy OF king is the hope of a
people itself. There are two sorts of
folk in the world-those who make
mortgages and those who pay them.
King Michael the Second OF Gretzhof-
fen is one who makes mortgages.
King Michael the First was one who
planned to pay them. He saved the
money for that purpose-he intended
to leave his kingdom rich.
But where is his hidden treasury

sieurs-he loved our princess. so all
was forgotten. He was a good king
and a strong one. There is need for
another strong man like him these
days-but not like the second Michael
of Gretzhoffen. Why. he gave away
his very birthright-won by the fair
face of girl-this strange young
American. whoever she may be. He
gave her the Gretzhoffen coin out OF

than q farthing. for all he cared"
But she cared. that is evidence

Yes, she cared, that is true. and

jaws set. THE young woman has half

The Plunge.

The Plunge.
Roleau and Kitty learned soon
enough that in race of the best of
horses against good motor car the
former has small chance. They heard
the chug of the motor coming swift
ly on. In turn those in the car
cou'' hear the hoof-falls of the fee

of the desert, but guided by a reck-

close to them.
A sudden exclamation from Roleau
came back to her after time. He
pulled his horse up strongly. and she
herself reined in Just in time. Ahead
of them lay the brink OF sheer drop
Of unknown depth.

She swerved quickly aside just in
