CHAPTER XIII,

Count Sachio and HE 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 WELL"
The man addressed, now practically
prisoner, and if not an object of sus-
ricion at least one of hostility, sat
moody and unhappy in the main room
of the lodge.
Il can say no more, excellency,"
said he. Il failed, it is true. But you
do not count the skill and power of
those who are arrayed against u.s."
How should l count them" ex-
claimed Sachio, fiercely. "Why should

Into the city," cried Kitty, fast as
we can! will be safer at the hotel"
And so, an hour later, she gave the
management of the Ritz yet more
cause for wonder, when, in the early
hours OF the morning, bedraggled,
disheveled. pale, she and her unpre.
possessing attendant pulled up once
more In the street in front of the door.
IN her own room, after a certain
time devoted to her toilet, which left
her more at peace with herself, Kitty
sat for a time bordering. 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
-Ae-N ohAAOu "ucu OduS0rS threatened
him-a man she hated with all her
soul, as she now persuaded herself.
she ought to hate him with all her
neart-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
his life even now might be forfeit,
Tor all she knew. If so, she would have
been the cause of all that.
They may kill him." said Kitty to
herself. Il could not endure the
thought of that-it would be my own
fault. l will not admit that it was his
fault l was used so cruelty by his
man. He himself has laid no hand on
me until this very highland then not
IN rudeness. Indeed, for all l know,
had he not come when he did, l myself
might have paid the forfeit he may be
paying now"
Kitty paused for q time to look at
her own face in the glass. It was very
pale. very unhappy.

sudden resolve to herself There has
been life enough lost over this already
his must not be added. l will help
to get him free"

CHAPTER XIV.
The Quality Of Mercy

ne Qudiitr OF Mercy.
A tWo-fold mental attitude occupied
Kitty as she still sat in her own apart
ment trying to make just estimate of
her own necessities and those OF an
other.
IF ] sent to the police to rescue
him." she said to herself--and now
she called him" one who lately had
been her enemy-"they would only
laugh at me. They do as they like
these days. No one knows whose
friends they are-thcse of the thieves
or of honest people. No, it would be
useless to tell them
Il hare it," she exclaimed half
aloud Il see it now. The king is
still afraid OF his people-he is hid
in his own palace now lest he see his
shadow-and all the time he is look
ing for strong mantle same who
he called to his side that night of the
ball-Count Frederick. Very well,
King Michael wants Count Frederick
and he shall have him. That is to
say, he shall know where he is. If
the king retains any power in this dis
tractcd country. surely he can prevail
against thieves such as these. Yes,

sults-those alone count for aught"
"Excellency, l tried"
"You tried-what is that? Rather
say you failed. for that is the main
thing"
But, excellency," spoke up another
man after time, a friend of Sachio,
If it is useless to cry over split milk

well, this. The young girl who was
the actual instrument of Rudolphs fail

We'll, what of that?"
IF we found her-and perhaps she
can be found-we could even pick up
our skein at the same knot where we
left it. She is somewhere on top of
earth-she is not a spirit after all,
elusive though she seems"
