had seen wonders done at opening

SEVENTH fNSTALLMENT
Divided,
CHAPTER XIV

As Kitty approached the little room
of the counts paloce-which before
now had proved to be something of a
storm center In the affairs of the Gretz
hoffen coin--there came to 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.
stinctively-called out instinctively for
help.
"Roleau!" she exclaimed, for won.
anlike, she had learned the value OF
strong mans arm, and her first
thought was Of the faithful servant
who so strangely had attached him
self to her own varying fortunes. And
Roleau came fastening from his
watching place outside the door,
He saw the little room occupied by
a man-who now suddenly had en-.
tered-and who menaced Kitty, SO
that, to save her life as she supposed,
she was on the point OF surrendering
to him both pieces Of the coin. The
sight of his mistress In danger was
enough for Roleau. With his custom.

half coins both were dropped upon the
floor.
Even now the ruling impulse of Kit.
ty did not quite forsake her. She
stopped and regained one Of the half
coins, but the struggling men, shifting
here and there in the room, kept her
from securing the other In the blind
instinct for escape she fled now to
the open hall, taking that direction
which led back from the front Of the
building.
Roleau heard her pass, and could
not join her in flight-hut he heard
her give cry Of alarm whose cause
he could only guess. His energies were
fully occupied by the combat with this

CHAPTER XVII.
The Counterfeit Coin.

Count Frederick finally aroused
himself from the apathy of inaction
IN which Kitty's sudden disappearance
had left nm Now he learned that
the message from the king asked his
attendance at the palace as soon as
might be- The king had, it seemed, a
communication which he desired to
make to Count Frederick al once.
"Ccnfound his royal highness!" ex-
claimed Frederick to himself. Il never

Kitty, left alone once more, found
herself In better heart than she had
been but now. At least, she had seen

Of his faithfulness and his efficiency.

again. And as for Sachio--better he,

good It would seem to her now to see
the faces Of the local room. They
might chaff her all they liked. Yes,
she would go back home.
And now, with schoolgirl finesse in
the employment of the small instru-

in her burglary. She felt the lock turn

.FHES DO NOT

Earnings of Prisoners On
Road Gang Not Due the
School Fund.

Some weeks ago the county court
Of Cabell County raised the question
OF the county paying fines to the state
where the fines were worked out by
the prisoners upon the public road.
The state road bureau has been in
terested in the workings Of the prison
problem and has received the follow
ing letter from the State Tax Com
missioner, F. 0. Blue:
This is TO acknowledge receipt OF
yours Of the 5th instant. enclosing
clipping from a Huntington paper,
purporting to be an interview with
Mr.. D. /. Smith. president OF Cabell
County Court.
In my opinion, the counties do not
pay. nor are they required to pay TO
the state. the amount Of fines worked
out by prisoners on the roads. know
Of no county In which this has been
done.
"A man will hardly work on the
roads TO pay his fine If he is able to
pay 1t in money. II he is able to pay
his fine in money OF course the money
goes to the state school fund; II he
cannot pay his fine in money and pays
il by working on the roads. the county
certainly cannot be required 10 pay
the amount OF the fine over to the
state school fund-the county cannot
be made the paymaster OF the indi-
gent conyicts."
