twenty-six marriages in practically
eight years. The young men and women

but that if it is wisely entered into 1t
is the best possible condition for them.
"a certainly believe in young people
marrying" continued Miss Trenholm.
There is no better recreation in the
world for them than healthy, sincere
courtship. Those who scof at the love
of young people not only do great
wrong to society, but what is pitiful,.
indeed, make a confession Of their own
failure in the greatest thing in life.

Miss Trenholm advocates early mar
rage. She does not think one can set
an age limit for young people in such
a case, the hasty courtship she does not
favor. and she is convinced that the

false sentiment. inadvisable marriage,

THERE is no doubt in the mind Of
at least one woman in the city
n. that the beau parlors" that
nave been established in several of the
hotels built for young women will soon
be things of the past, and with their
passing there will be more and hap
pier marriages.
This woman is Miss Mary de Grey
Trenholm, who has occupied the posi-
ton of headworker for the last nine
years at the East Side Settlement
House, located at the foot of East
Scventy-sixth Street.
One cannot talk to Miss Trenholm
for many minutes concerning her boys
and girls before being convinced that
this worker is a champion of love,
courtship ard marriage. The splendid
proof Of this lies in the fact that dur
ing Miss Trenholms interest in the
East Side House twenty-siX marriages
have taken place, there are at present
c,ght engagements pending, and unless
all signs fail more will soon be an

In her office at the Fast Side House
Miss Trenholm said:

so-called beau parlors.' They nave

ron Of these little cubicles in hotels
for working girls was a novelty; the

Frederick the First"
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
to her room. Here was somewhat to
be done. She knew the plot now-an
was plain as to the intentions of Fred
erick in regard to the kingdom of
Gretzhoffen 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
injure the kingdom of Gretzhoffen as
we'll. Trust her to explain when OPP
portunity shall come: Meantime have
the word of one who is solicitous for
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.

the world who wished him to drink
wine. Why? Who was that person?
Might it not be this man here-Count
Erederick-the man whom really he
feared? If SO, would not feigned "a
toxication serve well 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 monarch far gone i'm
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 as
he was assured, 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
of the room. All eyes turned toward
the great entrance.
Under the festooned flags, escort
ed by his uniformed officers, himself
wearing all his decorations and garbed
as a king should be, there appeared
King Michael of Gretzhoffen.
The hour of midnight struck. The
eyes of more than one man ON the
great dancing floor-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 Condolences 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 a tall
and. beautiful woman, arrayed-as
We're all those others present-in a
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-
coed. A uniformed officer Of the court
now approached Count Frederick as
he stood not far removed from the
royal presence.

ferentially. II have had for some

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 remem-
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 it. Quickly
she shifted the broken bit of coin

CHAPTER XII.
Before the Ball.

BEFORE TIC Dahl
In her hotel, albeit something Of q
subject of gossip, as she herself could
not but know, Kitty felt herself at
least safe from any such occurrences
as of late had been her lot Role1u
still was missing.
It was the morning Of the great
black and white ball when Kitty, her
gown finally in her own possession
stood before the tall mirror in her
rooms to give it it's final proving.
The case on her dressing table now
held but few simple rings and
brooches. trif1ing 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 safe
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, SAID
che to herself, her lips compressed.
She sat at her desk and 1nciosed
the broken coin in a double sheet or
naner. Upon. one sheet she wrote
these few words:
seYour Majesty, the young American
1uoman SO honored with this gift asks
it's safekeeping for a little time.

be possible? Roleau, help mel" Kitty
extended her arms sappealing1y. - am

in-there is no way out. Help mel"
Roleau's own presence in the palace
she did not at the moment undertake
to explain. AS matter OF fact. he
had but that day come in from the
camp Of the banditti, where he had
been detained. .
Wait" he cried. II will show you"
An iron grating, with the stairs of
a fire escape, led down directly In
front of Roleau's window. He came
out upon this, braced his legs across,
and back under the rail. and held out
his mighty arms.
Jump" he cried; 'it Is SAFE
An instant later she was on the iron
grating and into the window, and Ro-
leau, gaunt, unshaven, smiling. her
friend and rescuer, had led her to the
door.
Come" he said, and without paus-
ing for any discussion, he hurried out,
she following.
''It is late, Roleau." whispered Kitty
back to him. at Is eleven o'clock.

A Prisoner.

Having dispatched her messages,
Kitty Gray sat alone once more in her.
room. There came to her mind once
more the reflection 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
it's possession.
"The simplest way. is the best" said
she once more. "I1l go back there
again."
81 was not so fortunate as to find
monsieur the count at home before"
she explained to the attendants who
met her at the door.

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.s
"Excellency, I tell you the woman
is outwitting you. She sent her half
the coin this very morning-sent it to
the king by special messenger. I saw
it felt it IN the envelope, I am sure.
There is some plot afoot. AND I
brought the news as soon as possible,
but have searched for you long,"
"Come," said Frederick, and he
fastened the more when he met the
messenger advising him of Kitty's
presence in the palace.
Her search still uncompleted, Kitty
heard footsteps approaching, and
turned desperately like some trapped
narrow window, as she knew, was two
stories above the court below. And
even as she stepped to the door she
met there the smiling, sardonic face
Of Count Frederick himself.

said he. with icy politeness. True, I
had not expected YOU
Shamefaced, confused, for once un-
able to make any explanation, Kitty
could but stand and stare at him. An
instant later she heard the click Of the
lock and the passing of footsteps in
the hall once more. She was alone!
She was prisoner!
She sat alone, helpless, unanswered
in spite of her pounding on the door,
her cries for help, until she was utter
: Iy weary-until the shades of night
came.
She looked at her watch. The hour
was approaching eleven. The great
black and white ball was now in prog
ress at the winter palace across the
city.
She went to the window and looked
out into the night. All the court was
dark-save enc window directly below
her on the opposite side, fifteen feet
below, ten feet across the narrow
courtWay. Even as she looked down

Count Frederick bent forward polite

Kitty broke the simple seal upon
the plain envelope in which che had
enclosed the coin that morning. She
smiled at Michael radiantly now, and
at Count Frederick, though not ra-
dainty.
The dance swept On, the crash of
reed and brass filling the arched dome
of the great salon. In through the
great doors came the cries OF those
