disheveled, pale, she and her unpre-

more in the street in front Of the door.

time devoted to her toilet, which left
her more at peace with herself. Kitty
sat for time pondering. Yes, she
once more had half the coin-that half

good. But after all, she was as far
from the ultimate success Of her
errand as ever she had been. Her

had brought with her from America

Count Sachio for long hours of uncer-

refusing food or drink, his rage always
turned toward the unhappy agent RuI

the chug of the motor coming swift

herself reined in just in time. Ahead
of them lay the brink of a sheer drop
of unknown depth.
Pull off," cried Roleau. Get to
one side and let them come-let them

She swerved quickly aside just in
time. and pulled up at the brink.
There she was the witness of sud
den tragedy.
The men in the car. their eyes fixed
only on the two whom they pursued

time. Throttle wide open, they came
on at speed. Too late they realized
what was ahead. The car sped out
into space-how far, neither Of It's
occupants ever had time to know.
Roleau's horse dropped into running
water as boldly he sprang in out ahead
OF the car. Saved by his horse he
