act quickly. Tell me. what happened then?"
 The Count Frederick allowed her to escape-strangely. he seemed to have small resentment for her after all. Nor did he have too much for Roleau, whom he must have ranked a wholly faithless servant He did not punish him-but even sent him of after the girl! Excellency, my word for it. he seemed to miss the girl as much as the coin-did Count Fred erick."
 Roleau-if you can find him-he will lead you to the girl, wherever she may be. For myself. cannot guess"
 It was this counsel. followed dili- gently by the unhappy messenger of Count Sachio, which resulted in a quick shifting of the forces of Kitty's enemies. It was true Roleau had gained access to point within sight of Kitty's window. where still he tried to be of aid to her-still hoped she soon would be able to aid herself. But here he was surprised by these emissaries of Count Sachio-it was none less than the nobleman himself who led the forces now.
 Therefore when, after all her toll, Kitty at length managed to make her escape through the barred window, it was but to find herself once more a prisoner-Roleau once more a prisoner with her! The fact of captivity had not changed-only the phases of cap tivity. She and her ally had only ex- changed captors. Who her last prison guardian had been Kitty could not tell. Now. without doubt. she was once more to be subjected to the scant courtesy of the nobleman of Grahof- fen.
The Spectator., 1915-12-14

These strange words suddenly brought Kitty back to a train of thought which for the time had been broken. She felt quickly at her bosom and at her waist for the bit of coin which she had brought away from Count Frederick's room. It was gone! At some time during her journey from Count Frederick's palace to this place long or short whether it had been, she could not tell-the coin had been taken from her.
 Kitty sprang to the sill of the little window and peered out for an in stant; but her hold was too feeble. She sank back. not seeing what would have given her great joy to see.
 Apparently some eye had caught sight of her face. brief as had been its appearance. In truth, Roleau. hound like. had run his game to earth. It was he who had caught sight of her just for an instant. Later she heard once more the tinkling of some falling object upon the floor. She picked it up-it was substantial file, which evidently had been flung through the window by someone having the intent to aid her. This thought gave her hope. Almost as soon as she grasped it she fell to work at the bars which had re- strained her.
 Meantime. at the scene from which she had been so unceremoniously ab- stracted but now, Count Frederick re- mained still pondering on the strange events which had been brought home so close to him. He was too much preoccupied in his concern. over the young woman's disappearance to note carefully anything else that went on abe [ him. When one of his house. hold placed a message in his hand. for the time he gazed at it. scarce com pretending that it came from the roy al palace.
 Since he had left unattended the servant of Count Sachio. whom he had found in his own room, the latter seized the present opportunity to es- cape from the place and to find his own master. Count 6achio bimself-

reach For the time Kitty was Of the belief that her senses must leave her forever. The sense of solitude was a poignant torture.
 How long she had thus remained she could not tell, when at length the four walls opened An old woman came in. bringing some food for her Kitty tried her in every language which she had ever known, but got no answer. The old woman shook her head, and after time retreatsd si- lently as she had come.
 Getting TO answer to her appeal for heiD, Kitty sat down once more, fight ing herself to retain her faculties. her calm. her poise. Escape? How could there be hope for that? For once she was at her wits end as she looked about her. She sat moody and silent, too dazed, suffering toe much, too un certain in her own mind to plan intel ligently any course of action. She was brought to herself somewhat by hearing the tinkle of some object on the floor at her feet.
 It was bit of stone wrapped tight ly in a little wad of paper. Surely it had been meant as some communi- cation to her-from someone outside the room. It must have come through the window.
 She opened the paper and smoothed it out. As she read it she wondered how many other persons there were in this strange country who could claim acquaintance with her own plans. Better write an imaginary story for your paper and return to America. Give up the coins and you will gain your freedom. Refuse and you will fare badly"

who waited for him impatiently enough at the rendezvous which had been established.
 "Well, we'll, then, Bartel," exclaimed the count, why the delay? Whats wrong? You are not going to tell me the same story that Rudolph brought you have not failed?"
 The shamefaced look of the other gave him his own answer Count Sachio himself gave way to hearty curses of all incompetence.
 "The count retained one-half the coin." went on the unfortunate mes senger. 'I don't know which 1t was. The girl-the young American-got the other piece. saw her pick it up. But she did not get both! I don't know which one she did get, but know that each has one-half-the count and the girl. She must have been carried away by some other man. heard her scream, then all was silent"
 50 all escaped you? It is another matter what I myself may have done as to the girl and the coin-they es- capped you?"
 Yes, excellency, naturally I could not prevent the man from escaping and the count himself allowed the other man to do so"
 What other man."
 "Roleau. they called him-the girls servant-he follows her like a dog and fights like one"

 Yes, 1t seemed as though everyone interested in the coin came all al once"
 Naturally, the competition asks quick work of all of us. And we will

Solitary Confinement.

Solitary Confinement.
 When Kitty in her blind impulse of self-preservation sprang out of Count Fredericks room. she did not at first contemplate continued flight. Once out of reach of immediate danger. she paused. loath to leave what she had come there to obtain, and loath also to abandon her stout-hearted ally in his time of stress. She turned back. paused just outside the door once more. As she did so. yet another door opening into the hall was pushed silently ajar-opened fully. Yet an- other man, whom never in her life had she seen before, now stepped out, She felt hard hand close upon her scream for help. "Silence!" she heard his voice insist. GO on ahead of me
 Once more Kitty undertook to scream. and again the firm hand stopped her voice. It seemed to her that some pungent aromatic drug filled the car with its fumes. She struggled less violently. Events seemed to pass by her in dream, and she regarded them carelessly, alphabetically In short. either in part or in whole. she had lost conscious ness.
 When at length she fully regained her senses she was alone-alone with a terror which seemed to her more overpowering than any she yet had known. Instead of her own apart ments in her hotel. instead of the room of Count Frederick or the hunting lodge of his Quondam friend. Count Sachio. she found herself surrounded by four barren walls-in what edifice or in what place. she could not guess. There seemed some sort of door yes. There was small. high. barred window; but the latter was at such height as to be almost beyond her

CHAPTER xxV.
Divided.

OtVIOcO.
 As Kitty approached the little room of the counts palace-which before now had proved to be something of a storm center in the affairs of the Gretz- hoffen coin-there came to her the conviction that there might be others beside herself who would have some inkling as to the whereabouts of the missing portion of the coin, and who might therefore arrive upon the scene at much the same time as that of her own visit. She was not altogether surprised at the sudden Interruption of her labors, just at the moment of her success.
 AS she saw herself the object of a poised weapon, she swerved aside in- stinctively-called out instinctively for help.
 "Roleau!" she exclaimed. for, wom- .anlike. she had learned the value of a strong mans arm, and her first thought was of the faithful servant who so strangely had attached him. self to her own varying fortunes. And Roleau came hastening from his watching place outside the door.
 He saw the little room occupied by a man-who now suddenly had en- tered-and who menaced Kitty, so that. to save her life as she supposed. she was on the point of surrendering to him both pieces of the coin. The sight of his mistress in danger was enough for Roleau. With his custom ary battle cry he plunged immediately into the conflict. careless of the threat -ening weapon. In the melee the two half coins both were dropped upon the floor.
 Even now the ruling impulse of Kit. ty did not quite forsake her. She stopped and regained one of the half coins. but the struggling men, shifting here and there in the room, kept her from securing the other. In the blind instinct for escape she fled now to the open hall. taking that direction which led back from the front of the building.
 Roleau heard her pass, and could not join her in flight-but he heard her give cry of alarm whose cause he could only guess. His energies were fully occupied by the combat with this

stranger-whom now he saw to be one of Count Sachio's men. He had noted him at the hunting lodge He himself had not time to reason as to the pres ence of this new factor in the general imbroglio, but at last, able to bring his own weapons into play, he stayed the issue for a time. They both had time to recognize one another as they stood, the one as much baffied as the other, and neither quite comprehend ing what the other was doing here.
 Very naturally the sounds of all this confusion could not be concealed. The scream of . woman had rung widely through the halls. and used as they were to extraordinary circumstances hereabouts. the servants could not fail to investigate the cause of this. They hastened in the direction of the up- roar, but their advance was stayed by the command of the master of the palace himself.

 T trust it, your majesty" said Count Frederick fervently; and the deluded monarch, pleased at the quick execu- tion of his wishes, knew nothing of the deeper machinations of the keen brain which he fancied still was in his sery- ice.

 Gentlemen"
 The intruders, whatever the errand of each, took their eyes from one an- other and turned now, recognizing yet another man who scarce had come in friendship.
 You honor me greatly, gentlemen" said Count Frederick with his usual coolness in any extraordinary situa- tion. But might I ask why you care thus to disarrange my apartment? Had I known your own curiosity re- garding it., I might have asked some of my servants to assist you in a search more orderly"
 T was sent back by my master" be- gan the stranger-who was none other than Bartel, the late successor to Ru- dolph in Count Sachio's good graces. "He had left certain of his belong ings-some silver cases of the toilet, Monsieur le Comte--he did not trouble to ask you about them. and now he sent me"
 Indeed! That is most plausible! But why seek for them in my rooms, when his quarters were in quite an other part of the palace, my dear sir?"
 As to that" replied the other with calm effrontery. q cannot say. I only came here because the servants told me that this was the room. Of course, if there has been any mistake"
 Cease. say" exclaimed Count Frederick, frowning now, his face flushing
 He turned from Roleau to the other intruder in his apartments. Roleau stood dumb. The other shook his head.
 Monsieur le Comte," said he, the young woman was here when I en- tered-when this man also entered. She passed yonder-when she had the opportunity-and took with her one half the coin. There lies the other on your floor. She disappeared-we heard a cry"
 Count Frederick stopped and picked up the object pointed out to him. It was his own half of the coin-or that which he had called his own-since he had taken it from her.
 So then, he reflected, she had found the way to his most secret hiding place-she was on the very point of success when this last contretemps had interfered with her plans. A new feeling of admiration for her keen- ness and persistence once more came to Count Frederick's heart. For a moment he stood regarding half-re- gretfully the bit of metal in his hand.
 q shall not offer this trinket to you. my friend" said he grimly to the man Bartel. as he pocketed the coin. flor of course you were not look ing for coins-only toilet articles-sil- yer ones, did you say, sir? You shall take back an excellent set of my own to Count Sachio. with my compli- ments. Tell him that it would seem i'll to me that any guest of mine should suffer risk of loss either to his person or his property while he was beneath my roof"
 With these stinging words. which brought color to the others face. Count Frederick turned coolly away. and once more faced Roleau. That was in his face now which did not be- speak remorselessness, revengeful- ness. No. something softer lay in the mans cool gray eyes.

Eighteen months ago Mrs.

Mrs. Hamilton, charging her with
having unlawful possession of the

following the decision, however.
Mrs. Jensen kidnapped the baby,
