bruised and bleeding. the men WHO,
had undertaken to imprison him. a
swift plan had come into his own
mind. He heard the crackle of . wire
less mast Oh the upper deck. An in
slant later he had sprung up the last
stair and closed behind him the door
OF the operators room.
AT the key there sat youth, the re-
ceivers of the equipment strapped to
his ears. The crackle and roar OF the
wireless equipment. and the shoppers
on his ears, left the operator unable
to understand what was said to him;
but he comprehended very quickly the
language Of the pistol muzzle which
was showed against his side-a pistol
which he did not know was empty, but
which he was quite convinced was
wholly unlovely in it's look.
Count Frederick bent above him
and scrubbed a few words on bit Of
paper at the desk, his pistol against
the operators ribs.

The Rescue.

Those whose disappearance had

the point of certain changes in their
own plans-and counted that any
change must be for the better.
Look" said Kitty as they stood
at the crest of the cliff gazing out over
the white-topped waves toward the
nodding sails Of the Notwithstanding
craft. "a two-master, under heavy
sail. Auxiliary, no doubt. What can
she be-"
1T is what l also would ask" said
Count Frederick at her side studying
the craft as intently. whatever it
be, it is our only hope. See, she

how her spars rake back. A yacht

British! Well, l wish it were the
flag of my own country, but better
that than none"
I'VE shall be safe enough under the
Union Jack" said Frederick. Il count

who we are"
She turned to him with a curious
look upon her face.
Say rather when they find out who
you are, Count Frederick" said she.
You are nobleman, ! am an un-
known American girl, cast away with.

He smiled at her as though amused.
An American girl who has had
place in the plans of two kingdoms.
Perhaps you may not always remain
so unknown, if it comes to that

as she pointed to the boat.
A puff of smoke came from the bow
Of the yacht, followed presently by
the dull boom of the small cannon
mounted there.

Frederick. Yes, she'll round to and
send in a boat. no doubt And in
deed such proved to be the plans of
the little vessel.
There were other results of the can

suspected The natives, scattered
here and there along the beach, in the
forest, or in their village, were seized
with a sudden terror of what they i'm
agined to be a new enemy. AS fast
as they could they scuttled for shell
ter in the woods or in the caverns
that lay below the hills, the greater
number finding refuge in the latter
hiding places. Of these, some made
their way in their terror quite through
the series of caverns until at length
they emerged at the crest of the cliff
by a way of the passage which had
brought Frederick and Kitty there at
an earlier time.
These found the summit of the rock
already occupied. The two strangers
who had caused all the turmoil in the
village stood at the summit looking
out at the sea, and waving signals to
the incoming vessel. For an instant
the natives stood irresolute, but it was
not for long. They identified these
two white strangers, whoever or what

DUKE NICHOLAS GIVEN COMMAND
 OVER CAUCASIA
Assumption by Czar of Com mand of Army Mystifies
 All Europe.

London, Sept 8.-England and practically all Europe were mystified by the announcement today that the czar, in assuming personal command of the Russian forces by land and sea, had deposed Grand Duke Nich- olas as commander in chief of the Russian army. and had "rusticated" him to comparatively obscure pos. in the Caucausus.
 Dispatches from Petrograd declare the nation wasA stirred by the an- nouncement as never before. It brought consternation when the whole world was haling the comman- der in chief Gas the biggest man in Russia"
 Czar's Letter to Duke.
 In relieving the grand duke of his command, the emperor addressed to him the following communication:
 ''The invasion of the enemy On the western front, which necessitates the greatest possible concentration Of civil and military authority, as well as the unification of command In the filed, has turned our attention from the southern front. At this moment, I recognize the necessity of oyru as- sistance and counsels on the south ern front. and $ appoint you viceroy of the Caucasus, and commander in chief of the valiant Caucasian army.
 q express.stc your imperial high ness my profound gratitude, and that of the country, for your labors during the war."' =
 Nominally. and according to his statement, the emperor is to take up the burdens that are being laid down by thel grand duke. t.
 It is generally conceded. however, that some military man will assume the active leadership of Russla's hard-pressed forces.

STATES
 EXPECTS AUSTRIA
 MAKE FIRST MOVE
Dumba Letter on Labor Sit uation to Be Presented
 Without Comment.

Washington, Sept. S.-From infor- nation obtained today, it is possible to outline in detai! the probable coursd which the United States will take in the case of Dr. Constantin Theodore Dumba, the Austrain an1- bassador.
 The course Of this government has been but partly decided. Final judg- ment depends upon Austria's expla- nation of the activities of her anlbas- sador.
 Ambassador Penfield,. at Vienna, will be directed to present to the Aus trian government, without formal cemmen from the United States. the Dumba letteh concerning the tying up of ammunition plants at Bethlehem and elsewhere.
 This will be a virtual request upon the Austrian government to explain Ambassador Dumba's activities in the domestic affairs of the United States. The American ambassador at Vienna will be advised of pr. Dumba's stateaent that he was following the wishes of his government in arrang- ing for walkeut of Austro-Hungarl- ans in American ammunition pants, and will acquaint the Austrian for sign office with the ambassadors ad- mission.
 Demands of Diplomacy.
 According to diplomatic proc >dure, the Austrian government VIII pc III duty bound either to disayow the pro- gram of Ambassador Dumba. to apo logize for his activities, ! or to ex- press approval of his acts, and ad- init that they had sanction Of hls home government.
 A disavowal of Dr. Dumba's indis- creltions probably would carry With 1s the recall of the ambassador by Vienna, in advance of any request from the United states.
 Apology or DisavOwal Desired. An ample apology it is believed. would smooth over the incident, as thisl government is not anxious for diplomatic break with Austro-Hun- gary.
 An unoualified admission by Aus tria that she approved of pr. Dumoas proposal to persuade his fe!low countrymen to leave their employ ment in American plants would pre- sent an unparalleled situation. Never before. it is stated, has an ambas- saaor committed a serious offense against the country to which he was accredited. "with tha consent of that ambassadors government"
 Should Austria champion pr. Dunn has strike propa ganda. the UnNed statos would he practically forced to asr for the recall of the ambassador as an envoy whose usefulness hao ended.

KAISER DEFENDS ''' :. THE SINKING 0F
 LINER ARABIC ,

Washington, sept s.--State depart ment officials said tonight they have not received from. Ambassador Gerard the German ntte in explana- tion of the sinking of the Arabic.
 They had read, however, press dis patches that the note had been hand cd to Ambassador Gerard, and that Germany sets Up the defense that her submarine was in danger of being rammed by the Arabic.
 "This defense" said one official, presents view of the matter .favor- able to the German cause. Our infor- nation, however, has been altogether to the contrary, that the vessel was tcrpedoed without Marning. This defense, if it proves to be official, 1eates simply a new issue of fact, aGd the evidence on both sides must be weighed before the department can state an opinion or make, a reply to the German note."
