Kitty slipped from the room The
hall was empty. An instant later she
was out of the great entry and passing
to her car.
At her hotel once more she hurried
70 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
Sretzhoffen and to the monarch who
held the throne.
"Your majesty" she wrote In her
rolling hand now, the young Ameri-
can so much honored by your gift
which is returned to your care at mid
night tonight-has by chance learned
, of plot to injure your majesty and to
lnjure the kingdom of Gretzhoffen as

portunity shall come. Meantime have

your safety. Drink no wine. Beware
Once more she telephoned to the
bureau of telegraphs, called for mes
senger and sent her simple missive to
the king.

wine. Why? Who was that personf
Might it not be this man here-Count
Frederick-the man whom really he
feared? If so, would not feigned in
toxication serve we'll to discover the
others nature?
Reasoning thus, King Michael with
small exertion of histrionic art man
aged to give an excellent imitation to
his friend of a monarch far gone in
wine. Frederick, pleading fatigue and
thirst, piled him farther, and Michael
apparently yielded using still such
arts as served him for the time be-
ing
When, not too long before the ap-
pointed hour of midnight, Frederick
! left the palace, he left behind him az
he was assured, a monarch hopelessly
fuddled.
So the lights famed on at all the
windows of the Winter palace.
Suddenly the music broke, crashed
and swept into the national air. A
murmur went about! The king! The
dancers fastened back to the sides

| Under the festooned flags, escort
ed by his uniformed officers, himself
wearing all his decorations and garbed

eyes of more than one man on the
great dancing foor-including those
of Count Frederick of Gretzhoffen-
looked at the king amazed. Here was
no staggering monarch, maudlin in his
cups, come to make spectacle OF
himself before his people. No, he
walked straight as any. And behind
him from the street there came not
shouts of derision, but something OF
welcome. of confidence-a pitiful ex-
preston of people willing yet long
er to endure king.
At the kings side, her hand on his
arm, there walked the figure Of tall
and beautiful woman, arrayed-as
were all those others present-in
costume of black and white-a tall
young woman whom not many OF those
present recognized. A few passed the
word, THE American!"
The music of the royal anthem
ceased. An instant and the orchestra
broke out once more in the sensuous
strains of a southern waltz. King
Michael as yet did not dance, but he
gave word that the ball should pro-
ceed. A uniformed officer of the court
now approached Count Frederick as
he stood not far removed from the
royal presence.
Monsieur, the count" said he de-
ferentially, Il have had for some
hours in my possession this package
which have not opened. 1t Is marked
to be presented to his majesty at mid
night here. Do you think it should be
delivered?"
Even as they spoke the king him
self, accompanied, in accordance with
his request. by the young woman who

upturned towards her.

extended her arms appealingly. Il am

in-there is no way out. Help me-!
Roeau's own presence in the palace

to explain. AS a matter OF fact, ne

camp OF the banditti, where he had
been detained.

An iron grating, with the stairs OF

his mighty arms.

An instant later she was on the iron
grating and into the window, and Ro-

door.

good Of his people?"
Precisely. 1t is as I would have
said it, mademoiselle. You Americans
are extraordinary"
Kitty took from his hand the broken
bit of metal and regarded 1t thought
fully,
81 thank you more than I can tell,
your majesty" said she, soberly. 1t
shall be my mission to find out for
your people the uncompleted message
of this coin"
A silver bell sounded afar in the
hall, announcing the approach OF
servant. An official of the palace en-
tered and stood motionless near the
door.
What then, Andreas"
"The Count Frederick of Gretzhof-
fen; the Count Sachio of Grahaffen.
Let them enter, Andreas."
Both gentlemen bowed deeply as
they entered and each kissed the
royal hand respectfully. Kitty ig
nored Count Sachio and bowed but
coldly to Count Frederick.
Count Frederick, in whose mind
seemed to linger but scant reme'n'
brance of any unpleasant scenes IN
which he had figured, smiled now, and
after the American fashion, as he
fancied, held out his hand.
Kitty could not refuse 1t. Quickly
she shifted the broken bit of coin
from her right hand to her left
quickly, but not so quickly as to es
cape the keen eyes Of the man who
faced her now.
Count Sachio, you are welcome
from your kingdom to ours. / believe
you have never heard Of the young

among US of late-you have not metz

and made no reply.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Ballroom.


In his own apartments that evening
Michael the king had passed the time
in somewhat preoccupied fashion. Lett
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 wei
come at this hour. You will have
glass of our own vintage have
cask OF Lucoyen which is quite worth
while"
with all my heart" said Count
Sachio.
The attendant removed the cork
from the bottle reverently, poured
slowly, gently the amber fluid into
the tall glasses upon the table. 1t was
at that moment that King Michael be-
thought him of certain message
handed to him but left until now un-
opened. He frowned as he looked at
the word, irreverent when addressed
to royalty, and urging haste. I'm
portant' Is it SO? What shall do,
my dear count? Throw it away?"
Count Sachio cast glance upon the
| inscription.
Your majesty" said he, 'it is in
the hand of lady. BY no means
throw away any letter woman
writes to you-and by no means write
one yourself. Am | not good coun
sel?"
Smiling, King Michael broke open the
small hotel seal, frowning as he did sc
at what seemed to him undue familiar
ity on the part of someone, he knew
not who. But as his eyes ran oveI
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 venturine
no comment. King Michael made nc
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 l pledge your maj
esty long and happy reign" He
raised his glass and waited.
Drink heartily, good Count Sachio,
said King Michael. LAS for myself,
have dined but lately, as | said. The
doctors say dreadful things to me
You excuse meY
He had poured but small portion
in his own glass, and raised his hant
against more.
Sachio was obliged to admit t.
Count Frederick, whom now he earl,
sought. that he doubted the full sue
cess of his errand.
Leave him then to me" eA
claimed Frederick-"he never fails t.
do as | ask. Make ready for the bal
time presses now. | myself viii
hasten to see the king before he leave
for the winter palace"
Frederick, making urPent excuse
now to enter the apartments of tn
king after his arrival, found the mon
arch in the same apartment, stolidl,
regarding the now empty bottle o
wine.
A certain idea came to the braii
of Michael, the king. as he now &c

CHAPTER XII.
Before the Ball.

In her hotel, albeit something of
subject of gossip, as she herself coult
not but know, Kitty felt herself al
least safe from any such occurrences
as of late had been her lot. Roleau
still was missing.
II was the morning of the great
black and white ball when Kitty, hel
gown finally in her own possession
stood before the tall mirror In hel
rooms to give it its final proving.
The case on her dressing table now
held but few simple rings and
brooches. trifiing things which had
been given her or which from time
to time she had purchased for her
self
The only thing of value which lay
upon the table was something which
she most wished to conceal, and not
TO display. The broken coin-how
could she make sure that it would be
safe?
Kitty swiftly conceived plan which
she fancied would afford greater sale
ty for the cherished coin. There was
at hand no machinery of ceremony
even had she been familiar with 1t
THE simplest way is the best" saiC
she to herself, her lips compressed.
She sat at her desk and incloseC
the broken coin in a double sheet o
paper. Upon one sheet she wrote
these few words:

woman SO honored with this gift ask

CHAPTER XIII.
A Prisoner.

y fTISOncTs|
Having dispatched her messages,
Kitty Gray sat alone once more in her
room. There came to her mind once
more the reelection that now she had
not even 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
80 once more. I'll go back there
again"
Il was not so fortunate as to fnd
monsieur the count at home before,
she explained to the attendants VINO

Monsieur the count has gone out
but now"
A sudden resolution came to kttty's
mind even as sudden flush came to
her cheek.
$50? Then | will wait his coming.
II you please, the apartments of mon
sieur the count"
The man left her, and she closed the
door. An instant later she was at work
turning over the articles on the
dresser, peering here and there, look
ing this way and that-and unsuccess-
fully.
But meantime the attendant who
had left her, anxious to be of service
to his master, sent out posthaste to
summon Count Frederick to his re-
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.
"Excellency, tell you the woman
is outwitting you. She sent her hall
the coin this very morning-sent 1t to
the king by special messenger. / saw
it-I felt it In the envelope, / am sure
There is some plot afoot. And
brought the news as soon as possible
but have searched for you long"
"Come," said Frederick, and he
hastened the more when he met the
messenger advising him Of Kitty's
presence in the palace.
Her search still uncompleted, Kitty
heard footsteps approaching. ant
turned desperately like some trapped
animal. There was no escape-tht
narrow window, as she knew, was Two
stories above the court below. Ant

met, there the smiling, sardonic face
