prefect of Count Sachio.
Il am Count Sachio of Grahaffen," +"
replied the latter, none too happy at
the situation in which he found him
self.

prefect that we hasten" interrupted
Count Frederick gently enough.
The prafect had seen many women,
not all of them innocent. He smiled
grimly enough now as he noticed the
beauty of the young girl, who stood
this turmoil. The girl now turned to
him. and for the first time spoke.

Without hesitation Kitty presented
her handbag, drew out from it her lit
tie portemonnaie, even turned inside
out the pocket of her frock. Count
Frederick watched her closely as she
did so. He saw that none of the off,
GERS discovered the piece of coin. He
suspected, although he did not know
that Kitty had palmed 1t under her
thumb as she spread out her hands,
asking them to certify themselves.
The gendarmes, their captain, the
prefect of police, turned away non,

faced the calm dignity of the noble
man.
Your excellency," said he at length,

Certainly" said Count Frederick,
and threw open his coat.
The prefect of police turned to his
men. I'VE have not yet found all of
those parties who may be concerned
with this crime. We have not yet
held our questions on the scene of the
crime itself
They turned, all of them, now, and
approached the stairway which led to
the floor upon which were located
Kitty's apartments. Their numbers
quite filled the hall as they advanced,
preceded and followed by gendarmes.
But suddenly, as they approached the
spot they sought, the captain of gend-
armes touched the arm of his superior
and pointed ahead.
That is the man who escaped"
exclaimed he. 'Roleau, here he is,
and coming from the room itself! But
who is that with him."

CHAPTER xxxvI.
The Body Of the Crime.

It had been easy for Roleau, once
he was free of the immediate presence
of the officers. to spring into the near
est alleyway and quickly pass from
sight. While the officer, in charge Of
his more distinguished prisoners, was
passing in the car toward the front en-
trance of the Hotel Ritz, Roleau him
elf was speeding thither almost as
quickly through devious passageways
which led to the rear of the hotel.
Attaining entrance at the rear, he
sped up the back stairs, and found
himself once more at the apartments
OF Kitty Gray.
What he saw caused even his stout
nerves to quail for the time. On the
floor before him, with face half turned
and arms outhung. lay the victim Of
the last adventure connected with the
mysterious Gretzhoffen coin
Roleau did not know this man at
first, but he seemed not OF Gretzhof-
fen. Rather his garb betokened him
to come from the kindred kingdom of
Grahaffen.

which he knew was imperative, Ro-

"The law will take It's course" said
Count Frederick coldly. You have

matters into your own hands, mon

The prefect himself flung open the
door and entered the mysterious room.

nad managed to trap the intruder:
knew nothing of the cause Of the long
silence on the part of Kitty, whom he
had left alone in the counts apart
ments.
AS for the attendants of the palace
itself, no alarm came from them. In
truth, they all were in the front part
of the building, grouped near the great
windows or the street door, whittier
they had been called by certain alarms.
They had seen hurrying troops, had
heard the challenge Of the officers OF
the law. That challenge came closer
to them. A little group Of men march
ing hurriedly, men in uniform, now
ascended the great stairs. A loud rap
ping came at the doors of Count Fred

The servants, terrified, lacking the

manded of the men who met him.
where is he? Is he at home?'

major domo the first to speak.
Roleau caught some sense of what
was coming on, saw the men approach
ing, and darted back to warn his mis-.
tress, whose long delay he could not
understand. He hurried swiftly, on
tip-toe, along the halls he knew so
well, and naturally met no opposi-
tion. He reached the door of the room
where he had left Kitty, glanced with
in, and found the room empty. He
turned this way and that not knowing
what to do, and fearing to turn back
toward the main stairway, passed
deeper to the rear.
All at once he heard the voice of
Kitty, loud and clear: "Roleau! Rol-
eau! A MOL Vite! Vite"
He hastened on down the hall,
knowing that his mistress was once
more in some desperate plight, and so

'As you please, MASTER" replied
Rolcau, with aplomb. But where is

She seems safe," said Count Fred
erick coolly, and waved a hand.
Roleau came front to front against
the iron grille doors which barred
egress for the inmate of the little
prison. He shock at the bars in

Meantime the agencies of the law
were in charge of another situation
which but now had arisen in the des-
tiny of the dynamic Gretzhoffen coin.
There had been murder done but now
over this coin. The city was eXerting
all its force usually employed in the
preservation Of life and property.
Swiftly a Gordon Of troops and of the
local gendarmerie had been summoned
into action. The exits of the town
were guarded. The gendarmes filled
the streets nearby, some guarding the
crossings, others converging toward
the point of greater interest, whence
the alarm had come-the Ritz hotel.

porter for time, he now had met the

preached him.

The question of how much former
Deputy Marshal Acrey is entitled to
for injuries sustained when he was
shot last summer by Ed Byrd while
acting in his official capacity will
have to be settled by the referee Of
the State Industrial Commission, says
the Holtville Tribune.
At an informal meeting of the
board of trustees last night Acrey
said he would like to have $2,700, and
the trustees refused to. consider any
sum larger than $500.
Acrey submitted reports on his con-
dition by three Ell Centro physicians,
including DR., w. W. Apple, DR.. T. O.
Luckett and DR.. Virgil McCombs. Two
of the reports admitted that Acrey's
efficiency probably has been perma-
