"You mean that wench-that Amer

1t was that instant that the heavy
hand of Count Frederick smote him
full in the face. "You shall not men

instant he had Sachio by the Shout

his power toward the open door. 1t
had all along been his intention to i'm
prison Sachio here in the torture
chamber.
The next moment Count Frederick
felt at his back the impact of another
man. The three struggled furiously.
Quick! Shoot him!" painted Sachio.

Frederick felt the hands of his new
enemy feeling at his pockets, search
ing fer some weapon, and rejoiced that
he also at the moment was urarmed.
At least the conflict would be more
even now.
But they were more than a match
for him. Count Frederick felt an arm
throttle him, felt his eyes almost
start from his head, felt his breath
leaving him. Slowly slipping, inch by
inch. he felt himself impelled toward
the open door. Strive as best he
could, he found himself unable to re-
sist the joint attack of these two des-
perate men.
A moment later he heard the heavy
c1ang of the door behind him.
He was alone. He had proved the

looked after the two not unhappily,

Count Frederick heard them ap-

BY Process of elimination.

BY Process of Elimination.
The weapon of the renegade leader
Blake was aimed steadily enough. But
the fraction of time in which Roleau
changed the position he had taken
saved the life of one man and cost
that of another.
1t was the fellow thief, Blake's com
rade, fresh from the rendezvous, who
fell under the bullet intended for Ro-
1eau himself.
Blake sprang forward, cropping un-
body of his enemy, stopped, paused,
sprang back-it was not Roleau, but
his own man whom he had slain!
Roleau by this time, with no more
than a quick flash of self-congratula-
ton at his unexpected safety, had
sprung away. Blake called out to his
followers and started after Roleau. He
did not meet him at the outer open
ing, but ran into the arms of the band
of gendarmes who had followed Ro-
leau hither.
Seeing the renegade, pistol in hand,
and knowing that he had fired the
shot just heard, the sergeant seized
upon Blake and disarmed him. The
apache leader fought with all the bit
ter desperation of his kind when cor
nered,, crying aloud for help. His
cries brought others of the band, who
joined in the melee, so that the issue
for a time was in doubt as between
the lawful and the 1awless-these last
two factions who were locked in strug-
gle by reason of the fortunes Of the
missing coin.
At this juncture Roleau flung him
self into the conflict. His giant
strength proved such aid that finally
the sergeant and his men had sub
dued not only Blake the leader, but
others of his band. AS for Roleau he
stood gIinning at the turn of events
and making no further attempt at es-
cape. Neither did the officer make
any movement to apprehend him
again.
Come with me, then, my friend, "
said the officer you have fought
we'll for me. We shall see what we
shall see."
Wherefore Roleau, no longer under
espionage, went back with the
gendarmes toward the headquarters OF
the prefecture.
Much of this was noted by Kitty
Gray herself, who arrived upon the
scene in time to witness this not I'M
happy end of her own quest. Count

Draft Riots.

The only notorious draft riots" Of
the Civil war took place July 13, IA,
Is and Is, 1863, in New York city. It
is estimated that more than a thousand
men were killed, and property worth
$1,500.000 was destroyed in the four
days. The draft was resumed, how
ever, on August 10. and was completed
in ten days without resistance. There
were slight disturbances in Boston on
the night of July Is, in Portsmouth,

Philadelphia and Chicago prominent
Unionists asked the president to post
pone the draft, and it was avoided in
