TWELFTH lNSTALLMENT
CHAPTER XIII.
The Sinews Of War.

HC StuS"o VI vvATs
1t was touch and go between the
two little Kingdoms for time. Their
troops had faced each other In the
open field. Blood had been shed.
Generals had looked other generals
in the eye at no great distance At
the lines OF contact the imperial
rulers OF the two countries had been
within earshot one of the other.
Yet they parted now. Why? The
trumpets sounded the recall. even as
the leaders were awaiting the sum-
mons for the charge. Why? At least
one ruler had been eager for the as.
sault, yet did not advance his troops.
Why? The other, vacillating as ever
of soul, none the less had been upon
the battle front itself, whether or
not his courage had been more than
temporary. He now retired. Why?
The answer to all these questions
lay in the hands of the young Amer
lean girl Sundered, the two halves
Of the divided Gretzhoffen coin still
pleaded for reunion. One lay in the
grasp of another. Had either king
dom on this day owned them both,
war would have ensued.
Cortislaw of Grahoffen, old as he
was, none the less was in respect Of
martial nature far in advance of the
weak ruler of GretzhOffen. Michael
had come to the rescue not so much
to save Count Frederick from danger
as to save Count Frederick for him.

did not think Michael would march,
but he has shown that under certain
circumstances he not only can but
will. If we delay we lose all the ad-
vantages of the initiative. None can,

do, for at least he does not lack cOur-i

for him presently the waiting woman
in whose care Kitty had been placed,
and together they approached the
room where she had been left, some
hours before, to her own devices.
They knocked, knocked again, and,
yet again-but got no answer. The
woman at length opened the door with
her own key. Her sudden exclama-
ton convinced Count Frederick that
the room was empty. |

he to himself. Nov l wonder"
He did not pause to ask much Of the
waiting woman. but hurried away
down the hall, intent on certain plans
of his own. |;
He must find her, must see her at
once. He had no real idea as to which
course Kitty had taken after leaving
the room, but alone after a time, he
walked more slowly, he could not say
why. Something came to his senses;
as first not recognized-a faint
scent--a perfume which it seemed
to him he had known befOre-the per.

He found himself at length in mar,
