CHAPTER XIII.
A Prisoner.

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
its possession.
"The simplest way is the best said
she once more. "I'll go back there
again"
Il was not so fortunate as to find
monsieur the count at home before, :"
she explained to the attendants who
met her at the door.
Monsieur the count has gone out
but now"
A sudden resolution came to Kitty's
mind even as sudden flush came to
her cheek.
$50? Then | will wait his coming.
II you please, the apartments of mon
sieur the count"
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

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.
"Excellency tell you the woman
is outwitting you. She sent her half
the coin this very morning sent it to
the king by special messenger. saw

There is some plot afoot. And |
brought the news as soon as possible,
but have searched for you long
Come" said Frederick, and he
hastened 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
animal. There was no escape the
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.
The honor IS mine. mademolselle!
said he with icy politeness. True,
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 a prisonerl
She sat alone, helpless, unanswered
in spite of her pounding on the door,
her cries for help, until she was utter
ly 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 one window directly below
her on the opposite side, fifteen feet
below. ten feet across the narrow
courtway Even as she looked down

Enormous Waste In Hyphens.

In our campaign of economy an American writer suggests that we should do away with hyphens. The Germans build up enormous compound words without any hyphen to break them; but the English find one neces- sary for a simple word of five letters like today" It may be roughly esti- mated that each one of the two hum dred million people who write Eng fish writes today" tomorrow or "to- night" three times a day. Half an ounce of force is required to make hyphen with a pen or pencil, so this superfiuous symbol entails total waste of 2,190.000 pounds daily, or enough to draw a passenger train round the world. And-"in my mind s eye, Horatio'-I see the printers stan hurling q million hyphens through the office window for the scavenger to pick up!-London Chronicle.

 Hartford.-The campaign for a. eight-hour day among the metal trades in this city was marked by che firsto efforts of the organizers from the lR- ternational Association of Machinists to hold monday shop meetings. Arm ed with a permit from the mayors office. James Henderson of Detroit, one of the associations organizers, spoke to about BOO Pratt < Whitney factory employees gathered on the side walks on Lawrence street. near the corner of Capitol avenue The meet, ing was very orderly and at the close of Mir. HendersOn's appeal for the men to organize for the eight.hour day, there was considerable applause.
 Mir. Henderson told the men that in this country employers had tried to keep them divided on racial and religious lines and to some extent in fraternal societies, but the time had come for the men, as Americans. re. gardless of antecedents and religion. to organize in their crafts. He said it was an age of men against ma chimes, and even the war abroad was a war of machines and men.
 The speaker said he did not ap- pear before his hearers asking them to strike for an eight-hour day, but instead to organize and make their demands, and possibly the employers would meet the demands as they had in many other cities where the ma. chinists had secured the eight-hour day He pointed out the advantages
 10 the worker his family and his home from the eight-hour day at good
 wages and paid high compliment to Henry Ford for what he had done for
 his workmen in Detroit.
 The house of Morgan Mr Tender
 son declared had not given out mu.
 milton contracts to any concerns which paid poor wages and had good hours but had distributed them among New England concerns where the labor fig.
 ured up the cheapest.
 The speaker urged the mechanics to follow the example of their crafts.
 men in the west and middle west and organize for better conditions. He
 said the movement reached out to
 the mechanics, including the lathe
 hands and the grinders and other
 artisans of the metal trades. and also said if any of the mechanics were dissatisfied with the conditions local. ly to let the. maehinists organization know. as the demand for men in the eight-hour shops was greater than could be filled
 The maehinists and nail makers from the Capewell Horsenail com. pany. who have been on strike for
 three months, held a meeting and con. ferred with William Blackman, the | government eonciliator. who is trying to bring about a settlement of the differences.

Campaign Against Drugs Continues.

Campaign Against Drugs Continues.
 William A. Young of No. 23 Bab coeq street. arrested in New Haven in the campaign in that city against the drug evil. was under suspicion in Hartford of being connected with the traffic in narcotic drugs, and one of the local detectives had been as signed to investigate complaints against him. The Hartford police were working secretly to connect him with operations here, but Young had left his employment and has been away from Hartford for some time and before a case could be formulated be. came entangled in the New Haven drug net.
 He was arrested on the complaint of Dr. H. F. Keating of New Haven. who said a prescription blank bear, ing his name had been altered. The prescription called for six grains of a drug and was raised to sixty. Young told Captain Donnelly of the New Haven detective bureau that he had worked for Wr E. k. Kelsey of Winsted and for Dr. Pollock, superin. tendent of the Norwich Hospital for the Insane in 1910 and 1911, that he was a nurse and registered at the local nurse bureau. He said he did not use a drug regularly and could not ex- plain why he raised the prescription In court his case was continued.
 According to the Hartford directory William A. Young is employed as a first aid nurse at the Hartford Rub Der Works and boards at No. 56 Willard street, At the Rubber Works is was said that Young has not been employed there for several months, that he came there as first aid at he had had experience in the Belle vue hospital in New York and came from Norwich, His wife is said to be living with his mother at No. 23 Babcock street in this city. the address he gave the New Haven police
 Chief-ofPolice Farrell. of Hartford, was not very communicative about the case but admitted that one of the detectives had been investigating sus- picions entertained of some of YOung's Goings in the drug line here. Tn all probability the Hartford police will work with the New Haven author ities on the case as on others in the New Haven drug campaign. which is assuming statewide proportions.

Secret of Success.

The secret of success is not se- cret. Nor is it something new. Nor is it something hard to secure. To become more successful, become more efficient, do little things better. So work that you will require less super vision. The least supervision IS need ed by the person who makes the few est mistakes Do what you can and should do for the institution for which you are working. and the size of your income will take care of itself. Let your aim ever be to better the work you are doing. But remember always that you cannot better the work you are doing without bettering yourself. The thoughts that you think, the words that you speak, and the deeds you perform are making you either better or worse-Thomas DTier.

ASSASSIN SLAMS JUDGE.
Rhode Island Justice Shot Near Sum

mer Home-Murderer Escapes.
 Providence.-Willis S. Knowles. for the last seven years Justice of the Eighth Distric, Court, was shot to death near his summer home on Lake Moswansicut, in North Scituate. The assassin, who fred from bushes by the roadside, escaped.
 Justice Knowles, who was born in Hockingport. Ohio, in 1868. was ad- mitted to the Rhode Island bar .n 1898. He was unmarried. He had an office in this city and a home in Cranston. This summer he had oc- cupied a bungalow on the lake and employed Mrs. Cora Wardell as a housekeeper.
 Mrs. Wardeu said her employer left the bungalow to catch a trolley car leaving from Providence at o'clock in the morning He had about quar- ter of a mile to walk, and had been gone but a minute or two when she heard mans voice calling NOW I've got you, Judge!" Three shots followed. Running out on the lawn, Mrs. Wardell saw the Justices head above a hedge that shuts of the lawn from the highway. Before she could reach him he had fallen dead. There were two bullet wounds in the back and one in the jaw
 The police inquiry quickly devel- oped that the Justice had for some time feared for his life. Although he had not reported the matter to the police. he had confded to intimates that he had enemies who had written him threatening letters. Recently to avoid the walk between the bunga- low and the car line, he had ridden in a carriage with his brother, Horace Knowles, a real estate broker of New York. The latter returned home re gently. and since then the Justice had had companions on his walk until the morning of the shooting.
 A month ago Justice Knowles said he narrowly escaped being shot when approaching the bungalow. Publicly he said he thought the shots had been fred by careless hunter. but he ad- mitted to his friends a fear the incl. dent had a more serious significance.
