was out OF the great entry and passing
TO her car.
At her hotel once more she hurried
to her room. Here was somewhat to
be done. She knew the plot now-all
was plain as to the intentions OF Fred
erick in regard to the kingdom Of
Gretzhoffen and to the monarch who
held the throne.

fancied. held out his hand.
Kitty could not refuse 1t. Quickly

faced her now.

the great entrance.
Under the festooned flags, escort
ed by his uniformed officers, himself
wearing all his decorations and CARRIED
as a king should be, there appeared
King Michael Of G~retzhoffen.
The hour OF midnight struck. The
eyes of more than one mar on the

The Ballroom.

The Ballroom.
In his W apartments that evening
Michael the king had passed the time
in somewhat preoccupied fashion. Left
alone, and hence unhappy in his coun-
sells, he welcomed the announcement
Of the chamberlain who advised him
of the presence of the Count Sachio Of
Grahaffen. who wished to pay his COM
pliments to the king.
Come then, my dear count" said
Michael to him. you are very vel
coine at this hour. You will have a
glass OF our own vintage have a
cask of Lucoyen which is quite worth
while"
With all my heart said Count
Sachio.
The attendant removed the cork
slowly, gently. the amber fluid into
the tall glasses upon the table. 1t was
at that moment that King Michael be-

Smiling, King Michael broke open the
small hotel seal, frowning as he did so
at what seemed to him undue familiar
ity on the part Of someone, he knew
not who. But as his eyes ran over
the few lines of the message his ex-
preston suddenly changed. The words
remained deeply written on his mind.
Your majesty young Ameri-
can . drink no wine"
Count Sachio looked on respectfully,
his glass arrested, naturally venturing
no comment. King Michael made no
effort to turn the conversation. He
left his wine untasted!
Indeed, our people also are grow
ing in audacity," went on Count Sachio
presently. But / pledge your maj
esty a long and happy reign He
raised his glass and waited.
Drink heartily, good Count Sachio,"
said King Michael. AS for myself, I
have dined but lately, rs l said. The
doctors say dreadful things to me.
You excuse me-"
He had poured but . small portion
in his own glass, and raised his hand
against more.
Sachio was obliged to admit to
Count Frederick. whom now he early
sought, that he doubted the full sue
cess Of his errand.

claimed Frederick-'he never fails to

Frederick, making ureent excuses
now to enter the apartments OF the
king after his arrival, found the Q
arch in the same apartment, stolidly
regarding the nov empty bottle Of
wine.
A certain idea came to tho brain
Of Michael, the king, - he now &C

In her hotel, albeit something OF q

still was missing.
It was the morning OF the great
black and white ball when Kitty, her

The case on her dressing table now

The only thing Of value which lay
upon the table was something which

Having dispatched her messages.
Kitty Gray sat alone once more In her
room. There came to her mind once
more the reflection that now she had
not eve one portion of the broken
coin. AS to that which had gone to
the king, she felt fairly sure that she
might regain it. As to that which had
been taken from her by force by Count
Frederick, she was far as ever from
its possession.
"The simplest way is the best" said
she once more. I'll go back there
again."
Il was not so fortunate as to find
monsieur the count at home before
she explained to the attendants who
met her at the door.

A sudden resolution came to kitty's
mind even as a sudden flush came to
her cheek.

But meantime the attendant who
had left her, anxious to be OF service
to his master, sent out posthaste to

turn. He met the count himself, and
yet another attendant, upon the point
OF entering the palace. The newcomer
was talking to the count excitedly.

Come said Frederick, and he
fastened the more when he met the

presence in the palace.
Her search still uncompleted, Kitty
heard footsteps approaching. and
turned desperately like some trapped
animal. There was no escape-the
narrow window, as she knew, wal two
stories above the court below. And
even Al she stepped to the door she
met there the smiling, sardonic face
OF Count Frederick himself.

Shamefaced. confused, for once un-
able to make any explanation, Kitty
could but stand and stare at him. AN

Circus Busted

The Barton & Bailey circus,
which gave an exhibition here on
the 5th of last month, met with
financial disaster while on its
way to Iowa to go into winter
quarters. When the train was
leaving Mitchell number of the
workmen were thrown from the
cars without receiving their pay,
and the train was later stopped
by a law process before it reach
ed the Iowa line. A number of
the men claimed that the pay
master had gotten them to sign
receipt and then only paid them
$1.OOon their wage account. The
circus had gotten into financial
difficulty before it arrived at Mil
bank, as several Of their en-
ployees had to levy on the outfit
to get their pay when the cars
were being taken out Of their
city.
