The man who had proved himself
the last possessor of the kings half OF
the Gretzhoffen coin was the most un
worthy of any thus far concerned in
its destinies. True, Kitty's recollec
ton had been correct-she had indeed
seen him among Landozis condottieri
Yet lawless as the members of that
band were, he scarce was fit to claim
comradeship with them.
His name in truth was Blake-a rem.
egade Englishman, who had for some
time belonged to the underworld of
the capital of Gretzhoffen. If, animal
ed by some greater ambition of his
own, he now and then Joined the bands
of the desert rovers, his real prefer
ence was for the underworld of the
city, where, with his comrades of the
cheaper thieving gentry, he might for
the most part smoke or loaf in idle
ness, not concerned in deeds Of activ-
ity or daring. 1t had been by mere
chance OF his prowling nature that he
had learned something about the own
ership of the broken coin-had guessed
that it might have some value. and
had resolved to possess himself of il.
As he fed now, therefore, he made
not for the desert so much as for the
dens of his own sort in the purlieus
of Gretzhoffen town itself. When at
length, after his long ride across the
neutral country, he found himself once
more near to what he called home. he
cast loose his horse and completed his
journey on foot.
At the door of the underground dive,
where he counted upon meeting most
of his friends, he made the usual sign
Of admission. 1t was a choice band Of
kindred souls who rose to greet him
as he entered. They asked him what

instant later Roleau had grappled
with the intruder.
Hearing the sound of this encoun-
ter, Count Sachio and his companions
sprang at the intervening door, broke
1t in. They found two strange men
engaged in an encounter whose cause
they could not guess, but both of
whom undoubtedly were intruders in
this place, and who, therefore might
be regarded as enemies

as now he saw also the young girl,
who was endeavoring as best she
might to give assistance to Roleau
In his struggle with the stranger.
Quick, excellency, runl" exclaimed
Roleau
The strange man was not easily
to be disposed of, but gave even the
powerful Roleau all he liked to do to
handle him. Meantime Sachio flung
himself upon Roleau, his comrades did

In the melee, which slipped from
place to place upon the floor, Sachio
let fall the little bag with the kings
half coin--in his excitement he had
forgotten that he still had It in his
hand. The stranger, whose shifty
eyes caught everything, saw the bag
as it lay upon the floor
Working gradually towards the
place where the little bag lay, now
underfoot now scuffed aside by the
struggling men, the stranger managed
to trip and throw that one of Sachio's
friends who pressed him most closely.
They fell directly before the packet.

There remained for him no more

Kitty turned, knowing that she
must act quickly or be taken prisoner
herself.
Follow me. Roleau!" she cried.

| Follow me when you can. I'll leave
a trail" And as she caught up book
| from the table Roleau guessed what
| she had meant by this-a paper trail
She looked this way and that, but
could see no trace of the stranger
who had thus treacherously intruded
upon their own plans. A strange feel
ing came to her mind that perhaps
she had seen him elsewhere before
now. Where could that have been?
Ransacking her memory she conclud-
ed that he must have been some one
of the band of banditti who had sur
prised her and her companions in the
desert.
Trusting to fortune TO bring her
aid, she ran forward in the general
direction which she supposed the man
had taken. She passed from the floor
of the gallery, which held no trace OF
footprints to the softer ground where
she might see the trail, and caught it
now. He was running in great leaps
towards the edge of the forest. where
the road came in. Yonder lay the
for that. Yes-she presently heard a
sound of horses hoofs.
"Horses!" thought Kitty to herself,
recalling the stables where some of
Sachio's mounts were kept-indeed.
she doubted not that some might be
saddled and waiting in the yard. 1t
was true-an instant later her own
flying hoofbeats pursued those now
lessening In the distance And as
she fled Kitty left trail
AS for Roleau. his faithful heart
was wellnigh broken when, having
seen his mistress follow his advice
and make her escape, he found him
self In spite of all unable to join her
in the pursuit of the escaping thief
who had their coin. The grasp of
Sachio upon him did not relax, and
now others REINFORCED their leader.
"Ah, well, messieurs," he said grin
ming. at length, you have the argu-
ment"
Search him!" exclaimed Sachio.
Il have lost the coin. 1t was here. 1t
is gone-he has 1t about him some

The companions of the count com
piled, but could make nothing of the
search, Roleau stoutly asserting that
he knew nothing of 1t and had it not
in his possession.
Il dropped it on the floor in the
scuffie," exclaimed Sachio. Surely

the latter.
At last, however, there came the
sound Of one driving furiously.

Sachio. 1--WE do not know who comes
I hope 1t may be Rudolph"
1t was indeed this missing stranger
the man who had been left bound in
Frederick's apartments.
1t should be understood now that
when Count Frederick had returned
to his own apartments and found his |
private room occupied by a man who |

March 6-Mrs. Browning.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning. probably
the greatest of all women poets, was
born on March 6. los years ago. She was
a child of extraordinary precocity, and
at the age OF eight she was reading
Homer in the original with the greatest
of pleasure. and at eleven she wrote an
epic as a birthday surprise for her
father.
II would be hard to find in all English
biography childhood more full Of en-
couragement and stimulation for the
budding poet than was Elizabeth Brown
ing's. She was encouraged by a highly
educated father in ali her intellectual at
tainments. She was surrounded by the
healthful companionship Of other chill
dren. She had her own garden. which
she loved dearly, and fields and woods
stretched out about her home. and here
she was allowed to wander to her hearts
content. While she was devoted to read
ing. she was not an unnatural child. She
read Homer when she was only nine but
she nursed a doll in one arm while she
held the Greek book with the other
Eliza beth was devoted to her ponies
and was 4 remarka bly, fine horsewoman
when she was a child And 1t was due
to this that she sustained the injury that
made of her a lifelong invalid It was
when she was girl Of fifteen that one
day she attempted to saddle her own
horse, and through some misbuckling of
the straps OF the saddle she was thrown
from her horse. receiving injuries Of the
spine from which she never recovered
