At sunrise of the following morning

hurried along in the grasp of the two

ance, Kitty Gray took her place on the
seat of the motor car.
More and more admire you," said
the man at her side, as the motor
swung into its speed. What wom-
an you are! If you would but give
me time"
You shall have all the time you
ask, Monsieur lie Comte!"
Still, ponder as to your motive in
all this. 1t cannot be money"
Indeed 1t is money-in part"
How much, mademoiselle?"
"a years salary have got much
at stake, on my word Twelve hun
dred dollars, Monster lie Comte. 1t is
a fortune for me-"
Count Frederick flung himself back
upon the cushions and laughed long
and loud. Twelve hundred dollars!s
said he. Twelve hundred dollars in
a whole year, in an entire year? My
| dear, give me the half coin you have
upon you, and l promise you shall
have twelve thousand dollars to spend
as you like each and every day of your
life, as long as you live. Come now,
is it a trade? You said you came to
talk business"
For the first time now Kitty looked
about her, scarce having realized how
long their journey had been. So
great had been their speed that by
this time they had cleared the city
walls of Gretzhoffen and passed the
titled farmlands of the villages. 1t
was what was known locally as the
desert-a neutral ground, not titled
and incapable of successful tillage,
which lay between the two kingdoms
of Gretzhoffen on the east and Grahof-
fen on the west.
Whether it was the heat of the sun
which had expanded the air in the mo-
| tor tires, or whether there was some
sharp stone under the wheel, there
was no time to determine; yet sudden
ly, with the usual rifielike report,
there was an explosion of the tire
The car was practically helpless.
Kitty looked about her vaguely,
fearfully, but as she bent from the
open window she heard in the dis
lance the chug of another motor, driv-
en- rapidly. thrown wide open and
coming forward at great speed.
Quick! Grahame," the count de-
manded. This is your work. She
has 1t on her person. You must-yes'
you must take it at once"
AS he laid hand upon her, all the
hot indignation of Kitty's soul famed
up. She battled as best she might
She defeated the man in his purpose
of snatching at the string which ne
saw suspended about her neck. his
suspicious were well founded, for once
more Kitty had concealed her portion
of the coin in little bag which she

that he had small time to finish MS
work. Grahame at length raised das-

Greek Meets Greek.

Arrived at his own home, Count
Frederick of Gretzhoffen found little
pile of unopened letters waiting for
him. and picked up one bearing the
crest OF Count Sachio of Grahoffen, a
man he had known for many years
and with whom, il truth be told, he
had had certain plans which neither
would have cared to have come into
public knowledge. He tore open the
envelope.

Mile after mile slipped ribbon-like
beneath their speeding wheels. Soon
they had left behind them almost all
sights of the green commons and the
fenced fields which lay under the
walls of Gretzhoffen town. 1t was
Grahame who first detected, far ahead,
little dust cloud of advancing trav-

master.

the condition as being down in the
