like the meanest of these retainers

hope.
'The wheel, the Wheel" called Sa-

opening the water gates-stop him at
once"
Himself and few men endeavored
to go at Frederick, but met the irate
Kitty, who put up tigerlike resis-
lance to protect her comrade at his
work. The sound of shots came, the
mingled sounds of much confused lam
entation from those now threatened
with drowning in these deep subter-
ranean passages.
What" exclaimed Cortislaw to Sa-
chic, lis it my fate to drown like a
rat here in their palace? Quick, Sa-
chic, offer them peace-offer them

Even the sense of chagrin was lost
to Sachio now in his terror for his life
and that of his sovereign. He adj
vanced through the water as best he
might until he caught the attention Of
Frederick. still busy at his task.
Halt, Count Frederick" he cried.

NIT also that you have the upper hand
OF us once more. We cannot perish
like so much vermin here-stop your
cursed wheel and give us respite, or
soon it will be too late"
Are you sincere, Count Sachio?"
demanded Frederick-"may we be-
lieve your word? We have had cause
to doubt it more than once"
Doubt 1t then 10 more. Cut on
these floods which are drowning US
inch by inch, and we will leave your
palace and leave the town. l give you
my word and that OF my sovereign"
"why, them" said Count Frederick,
smiling. agreed, and very cheerfully.

We do not want you to cumber our
corridors with your dead. Let it be
peace then, and this time let your
word be kept. Begone then. and thank
good fortune, and not your just de-
serts, that you have life left for you.
If any of you remains death shall be
his fate at once. Decide quickly, my
good Sachio. You have not long to
live. The moat waters are not yet
touched-they will flood these chan
nels in the rock to their very roofs.
Decide then"
Enough, enough" cried Sachio,
holding up his hands. I'VE submit
we surrender-we agree"
Count Frederick reversed the wheel.
Little by little, the gurgling and rush
ing Of the waters ceased. They
reached their own level again. Once
more the old moat was locked, aud
once more a drawn battle had been
fought over that secret which still re-
manned hidden deep somewhere in
those rock caverns.
Little by little, slowly and in deep
humiliation, the forces OF Grahoffen
found their way out as best they
might-or at least most of them did,
including Sachio and Cortislaw, his
king.
Presently Frederick, Kitty and King
Michael were alone once more, res
cued as much by fate, by chance, as
by their own wits--keen as those had
been.
$50, your majesty" said Count
Frederick to King Michael, where
there is will there is way-it seems
the proverb is proved true once more.
We were not far alike, from death and
burial here ourselves. Had our friends
the enemies remained much longer,
we would have taken toll of them to
the last man. Twas lucky, my recol-
lection OF the old tradition about the
wheel and the water gates.

Safe Servers of the Race.

Brilliant! There is safety in me-
diocrity. Brilliant men and women are
always carried away by their ambf-
tions, for which they will sacrifice
everything. A dray horse for long
pull and q race horse for squirt. A
plodder to solve problems and the ven
turesome to try their fortunes with
fate. The statesmen whose names sur
vive and whose achievements make
splendid pages in recorded history
were the careful, earnest, studious
men of affairs-not the comets that
shot across the sky, nor thu skyrock-
cts that leaped high into the air, leav-
ing trail of sparks and stick that
fell to the ground.-Lesiie's.

corner OF the room. half moaning In

corner of the room. half moaning In
helpless terror.
And yet now, at the last instant,
it was Count Frederick himself to
whom it was given to devise plan,
desperate in itself, yet, as it CHANGED,
effective.
His eyes fell upon a great wheel,
rusty and long disused, which thrust
out of ore corner of the room. AS
he saw it his gaze kindled with the
sudden thought which it suggested.
He knew what it was and what it
meant-what hope it offered now.
Keep them talking" he whispered
to Kitty, in quick aside. Engage
them for just a moment-keep them
busy-wait."
Count Frederick knew that this
wheel and the levers beyond con-
trolled the drainage outlet of the
great moat which surrounded the
rear portion of the castle. Those low
er gates once opened, there was moth
ing to prevent flooding Of the subter-
ranean passages. The moat waters
had been used for that very purpose
in the past-so ran tradition-and
great had been the slaughter wrought
upon ancient enemies of Gretzhoffen
through that very means. Here they
were living in the past-here they de-
manded of the past it's secrets-here
they were surrounded by all the grim
memorials Of the past. Why, then,
thought Count Frederick, why not use
that past and the means that once
had been sufficient to it?
He laid his hand upon the wheel.
1t had not yielded to an arm less pow
erful than his, and even his strength
was necessary to it's limit before he
could force it to yield, long disused as
it had been here. But at length it
did turn little, and then more and
yet more.
The result was beyond ali calcula-
ton. There came the sound of rip
ping, and then of rushing waters. It
came in the passages back Of the in
vaders. 1t filed the stone floors along
the corridors. It Tapped their feet. It
bathed their ankles. It rose swiftly
to their knees. And then consterna-
ton seized upon all those who but now
had stood triumphant, haunting, men,
acing. or truth, the trapped crea-
lures had turned and wrought their
own vengeance.
Quick, get to safety" commanded
Frederick now. And even as he and
his companions found a little higher
level in another chamber whence
they could see the work of the wa
tiers on their foes, those foes them
selves began to cry out in terror at
the mysterious enemy against which
they could not battle.
"Your Majesty" exclaimed Count
Sachio now to the tall figure at his
side-"your majesty"

summoned to see the last struggles Of

work attracted the Indianapolis manag-
ers They purchased him and he con-
tinued at such fast clip that John

make him a member of the team. This
was in 1905 and for three years Mar

was referred to at all he was called the
"$1l 900 lemon"
1t was not until 1912 that Marquard
received the plaudits of the fans" He
pitched and won his first game that
season on April II. and it was not until
July that he lost contest. being
beaten on that day by the Cubs. after
having compiled pitching record or
nineteen straight victories, surpassing
any similar achievement in the history
