CHAPTER VII.
In h Desert.

, IN the DESERT
Convinced against her will, as she
hurried along in the grasp Of the two
powerful men, that compliance would
serve her purpose better than resist
ance, Kitty Gray took her place on the
seat of the motor car. " 'f' ~ a:y'
more and more 1 admire you," said
the man at her side, as the motor
swung into its speed. What a WON
an you are! II you would but give
me time" - ....,.
"You shall have all the time you
ask, Monsieur lie Comte!"
"Still, l ponder as to your motive in
all this. 1t cannot be money" 7
Indeed it is money-in part"
"How much, mademoiselle?"
"A years salary-I have got much
at stake, on my word. Twelve hun
dred dollars, Monster lie Comte. 1t 10
a fortune for me-"
Count Frederick flung himself back
upon the cushions and laughed long
and loud. Twelve hundred dollars!"
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

Whether it was the heat of the sun
which had expanded the air In the me

sharp stone under the wheel, there
was nc time to determine; yet sudden.
ly, with the usual riflelike 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 Gis-
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 it 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 he
saw suspended about her neck. His
suspicious were we'll founded, for once
more Kitty had concealed her portion
of the coin in a little Dag which she
carried thus. Bafled, and knowing
that he had small time to finish his
