CHAPTER XVII.
At Count sachio,s Lodge.

At Count Sachio,s Lodge.
Such speed did Roleau manage to
| get out of his own car that Kitty and
he arrived at the hunting lodge Of
Count Sachio well In advance of all
] others bound thither that eventful
| morning,
| Kitty and Roleau moved about very
much as they pleased after their entry.
| 1t pleased them best to hide them
selves in small room adjacent to the
| main hall where they fancied the main
events of the day would perhaps find
enactment. A door and window made
connection between these two rooms,
and behind the curtains in the smaller
room they fancied they could be suf-
ficiently concealed.
But there were others who had an
interest in the events to occur in the
hunting lodge of Count Sachio that
morning. The tangled skein of the
mysterious coin was expanding, draw
ing in yet others. Hardly mad Kitty
and Roleau secreted themselves be-
fore they heard footballs under the
window of the gallery which ran along
that side Of the chalet. They won
dered who might be the author and
what his purpose.
1t was somewhat later before they
heard the mingling of voices and the
sound of footballs
Rudolph" exclaimed Count Sachio.
"Why has he not come? What has
gone wrong?"
But none could explain to him why
Rudolph had not arrived-nor at the
time did either Kitty of Roleau know
who or what Rudolph might be-al-
though, as a matter of fact, it was he
whom they themselves had left tied
hand and foot in Count Frederick's
palace. Nor could any of these pres
ent know that before this time Count
Frederick himself, returning to his
palace, had found yonder intruder,
bound and left helpless, in his own
private apartment. The man had
made such excuses as ne could by de-
claring that he had been robbed and
thrown in the room by ruffian, as
sisted by a beautiful woman. And
Count Frederick, finding on the floor
Of his own apartment tiny handker-
chief, had needed scarce more than
one guess as to who that young won-
an had been.
But as to all these side scenes
which had been enacted, Count Sachio
was altogether ignorant. Wherefore
be now walked up and down, now ex-.
his own doubts. His irrita-
ton was obvious enough to Kitty as
she peered through the yelled curtain
and strained her ears to learn what
he was saying.
Even as she stood intent on what
was going on in the main room, Ro-
eau close at her side, also absorbed
the author of the stealthy footballs on

SYNOPSIS.

Kitty Gray, newspaper woman, finds in
a curio shop half of broken coin, the
mutilated inscription on which arouses
her curiosity and leads her, at the order
of her managing editor, to go to the prin-
cipality of Gretzhoffen to piece out the
story suggested by the inscription. She is
followed, and on arrival in Gretzhoffen
her adventures while chasing the secret
of the broken coin begin.

Quick" said Kitty. Stealing away
silently they left the door locked and
took with them the key.

known.
Was it Count Sachio's voice she had
heard-was he, the kings friend,
Count Frederick's friend, the worst
traitor of all, and was he also plot
ting for the restoration of the two
lost bits of Gretzhoffen coin?
(Which way should she turn now?
To Frederick? Impossible. To Mi
chael? Equally impossible.
The two men whose talk she had
overheard passed now from behind
the pillar toward the interior Of the
palace. Apparently they were known
there and welcome, for surely they
were not stopped by any OF the kings
guards or chamberlains, and Kitty her
self, equally well identified, passed
readily just behind them.
Kitty needed but one glance at the
man she trailed to see 1t was indeed
Count Sachio whose voice she heard.
The men passed now to = little
room at one side Of the main hall,
which traversed that portion Of
the palace. A window and door,
both lightly curtained, opened from
the hall within. Kitty, as she drew
up, could see them now-Sacnio, and
one whose identity she did not know.
Listen now" she heard Count |
Sachio's voice boom out, since here
they felt themselves quite safe from
intrusion; listen, while / tell you

Paris Oct. 15.--Evidently determin-

in Champagne lost to the French in
the latter's attack on Eeptem Der 25,
the Germans yesterday followed up
two days terrific heavy artillery

For several days past the German
heavy guns have been battering the
