| kings good graces. Because. revolu- tion or no revolution, the throne of Gretzhoffen was not worth having un, less his owner had both halves of this missing coin. Frederick cared not to be a penniless king, and only the unit ed coin could give any king of Gretz- hoffen actual wealth and actual power. The murmurs of the people, vague, indefinite, had from time to time been audible at the open door of the grand entrance.
 "Why do We starve while they dancer"
 They began to edge towards the pal soldiery were not eager to oppose them with steel. The soldiers were themselves of the people. Moreover, they had had small cause for loyalty to the king and court of Gretzhoffen. They were ill paid and i'll governed.
 The people lacked leadership. Count Frederick had hinged his own plans of action upon one event-the public disgrace of the king-and that event had not occurred.
 He drowned as he stood looking out over the dense mass which filled the streets. Even he began to feel, al most in spite of himself, some sort of a vague pity for these less fortunate ones.
 Still over the voice of the strings nd 1nxy prin of the mob. strange to hear, impossible to describe.
 King Michael heard this sound All heard it, this voice of the people, as yet undecided. The kings face paled terror smote home upon his soul. The courage of his usual alcoholic stimulant being tonight denied him, his weak nerves gave way.
 He saw Count Frederick, now re- turning to the salon, from the great entrance door, The latter saw the ter TOT on his monarch's face, and recog- nized on the instant the opportunity for himself to strengthen his own po- sition in the kings good graces.
 Your majesty" exclaimed the astute nobleman, now advancing and offering his hand, forgive me. I was in fault today in my conduct toward your ma jesty. Twas but a mad jest of my own. Give me but opportunity to prove my loyalty to your person and our country, and you shall not find me lacking. The people are about us yes. 1t is true-there is danger of revolt, of revolution. I shall not at tempt to deny that: but give me leave

to handle them. your majesty. and l promise you safety. I promise you to send them away.
 You are indeed my friend. after all, Count Frederick" exclaimed Michael. What you counsel seems wise. Use your own discretion. but disperse them -disperse them."
 Count Frederick. hastened to ad- dress the people. who now halted. un- certain as to what move next to make. His own agents had been among the people, and had made known his own plans. Yet here was their master eyi- dently, for some reason. disinclined to give the word for actual outbreak, and now counseling calm consideration, dispersal.
 My good people," began he, as he stood at the head of the great stair way above them-"his majesty thanks you for the honor you have done him in coming out upon this occasion. He himself has found great pleasure in coming here to meet you tonight, all though he arose from sick bed to do so. He wishea you to be calm in these

tween them, they will take away from Count Sachio what I want for myself!"
 He slipped in now from the gallery. through the open window. Stealthy as a cat, he crept up inch by inch upon the two watchers.
 T tell you," cried out Count Sachio, crashing his fist down upon the table, there is no such thing as ex- blaming thing like this! This fail ure can never be justified. I sent Ru- dolph to get the coin-he knew where it was-he was not suspected by any one--I told him precisely what to do. Has he done it? No. And here we wait. It is something shall not for get"
 These loud words caught Kitty's at- tention. She pressed forward eagerly. her figure still half shrouded. Her own senses, strained as they were to catch what was going on in the main room, were less resardful of what was going on immediately about her.
 The silent man who had spied upon them crept inch by inch toward them. Slowly, deliberately. he raised his right hand above the unsuspecting girl. In that hand he held poised . murderous-looking blade. (To BE CoNTINuUno

CHAPTER XVII.
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 we'll in advance of all others bound thither that eventfui morning,
 Kitty and Roleau moved about very much as they pleased after their entry. It 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 ill yet others. Hardly had 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.
 It was somewhat later before they heard the mingling of voices and tha 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 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 wonder intruder. bound and left helpless, in his own private apartment. The man had made such excuses as he could by de- claring that he had been robbed and thrown in the room by a 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 wom- an had been.
 But as to all these side scenes which had been enacted, Count Sachio was altogether ignorant. Wherefore he now walked up and down, now ex- claiming his own doubts. His irrita- tion 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- leau close at her side, also absorbed the author of the stealthy footballs on the gallery below the window crept silently up and looked in upon them as they watched-a spy upon those | who in turn spied upon others. 50, she is not alone!" he whis- pered to himself. That man with her will make different proposition. Be-
