AS the train stops at the station
the Prime Minister of Grahoffen
and the Kings soldiers board the
train tn meet the man bringing the
coin to their King Going through
the cars, one after the other, they
are surprised not to see Sa HOS
man Coming through the baggage
car they stumble over the uncon
scious figure of man, and on ex-
animation find it the person whom
they are looking for. Bringing him
to, they learn of his loss of the coin.
Quickly giving orders to have the
train searched for his assailants,
they try to make him as comforta-
bic as possible.
On searching the train they are
about to return to the minister and
report their failure to locate the
parties they are in search of when
going through the space between
two cars, one of the men looks up
and sees the figures of a woman
and two men nearing the top of the
mountain, Sending one man to re-
port to the Prime Minister. the
others leave the train in pursuit of
the fast disappearing figures.
Mounting their horses, they start
to give chase by crossing the
small bridge just in front of them.
Kitty, Frederick and Roleaux are
just congratulating themselves that
they have given the soldiers the
slip when, looking down, Roleaux
sees the whole army of Grahoffen
riding toward the bridge, which
should they cross it, would cut off
their means of escape.
Showing Frederick and Kitty
what they are up against. Roleaux
looks about for some means of stop
ping them Spying a huge boulder
just beneath him, he quickly goes
to it and with all his strength gets
it loose land sends it flying down
the hill toward the bridge the
soldiers are about to cross.
The soldiers themselves, not sus-
pectine anything from the people at
the top of the hill. spur their horses
on toward the bridge. The leader
and about ten of his men are on
the bridge when the others in the
rear look up and give a shout OF
warning as the boulder crashes into
the bridge, smashing it to bits and
sending horses and riders down
with it.
Seeing the boulder has accom-.
plished its errand, Roleaux and
Frederick start for the pass ahead
of them. hoping to get there and
| hold it AGAINST the remainder nj
the army.
They succeed in getting to the
rock supported pass in time to hole
it against the Grahoffen soldiers
Frederick draws his automatic and
taking a neat leather wallet from
his pocket, proceeds to load his
weapon from the cartridges it con
tains. Roleaux also draws his gun
and together they succeed in hold
ing the soldiers back.
Getting the coin from Roleaux
Kitty tells them she will take {
short cut back to Gretzhoffen anC

them. She succeeds in pettinl
away, while Frederick and Roleau1

well in the main street of town and
also have the fire engine repaired.
With the proper amount Of those this
will reach all the business houses in
