garded her as little more than child,
and they smiled as now she pushed
past them through the door which led
out to the gardens. She walked out
to the car which stood at the curb,
regarding it curiOusly, as though it
were the first car she had ever seen
in her life--something very far from
true.
What the guards, who smilingly re.
garded her through the windows,
saw was a swift leap of the girl to the
drivers seat, her rapid movements
with the controlling levers as she cut
on the spark, gave the car gas, threw
in the clutch, threw open the throt-
tie. and drove away, the cut-out muf-
fer roaring her own defiance to pur.
suit.
Hue and cry now through all
the halls Of Grahoffen palace, and gen.

far away, was promptly on the spot.

What has happened-what is all
this about?' he demanded.
The trembling guards scarcel;
dared tell him the truth.
What, she has escaped-that pris-
oner! She was of more importance
than any held here in our own re-
membrance. You shall all be held to
account for this. How now, Count
Sachio, did We not give her into your

But the king was in no too good hu.

know well enough that II Count
Frederick comes he will be different

Therefore once more Sachio went
back to his bootless interviews with
Kitty, once more pleading with her to
give him all knowledge she had Of
the coin. And once more Kitty could
no more than reassure him Of her own
ignorance Of what he wished to
know.
She heard odds and ends Of informa-
ton which taught her which way the
wind sat at Grahoffen capital. Some
times she heard Sachio, again Bartel,
again this or that man, speaking
freely of the plans at hand.
Il told the king" said Bartel one
time, speaking to Count Sachio, that

most Of the indignities she had met.
She must escape for every reason
SO she assured herself. But how?
From the windows she had q full
view Of the well-kept grounds of the
palace and Of the boulevards sur
rounding it. She stood alone one day
staring out on scenes grown familiar
to her. But all at once her gaze grew
more intent, fixed upon some object
not far away. A car was standing at
the curb. She did not remember to
have seen it there regularly.

had been assigned the duty of watch.

and it was easily seen by any that
once she did have that part-might
they not undertake to make trouble
for their own purposes with herr"
But what good would come of
that?"
Count Frederick saw that his
argument had gone too far for his
own purposes. He did not care to
tell the king all he knew, yet his
zeal for Kitty had led him far.
Much good might come to Grahoff-
ems war department, your majesty,
If they knew our secrets. Perhaps
they thought she could give some in
formation"
But you do not predict trouble be-
tween us and our neighbor-you do
not mean war;"
Your majesty, l predict nothing

be prepared.

AS 1t CHANGED, much of this CONVEX
sation came to the ear of one of
Sachios agents, the spy Bartel, still
hanging about the city of Gretzhoffen.
He overheard enough in his passing
by at the time of this conversation
to be advised that the king of Gretz-
hoffen intended to make search for
the missing American. Not hesitat-
ing, he himself now sped of for his
employer to communicate this news
that he had learned.
He found Sachio aloof and discon-
tented, out of favor In the court, and

CHAPTER XXI.
In the Name of the Kinq.

1t was plain enough to Count Sachio
which way Kitty would head in her
flight. Her car was little more thar
out of sight on the Gretzhoffen road,
ere Sachio himself was in pursuit.
Count Sachio himself was no blum
derer, and no common thief chaser, but
a courtier and man of intelligence
He knew it would be futile to make
direct demand of the hotel manage
ment regarding the whereabouts OF
the young American. Therefore, while
he himself approached the hotel desk
to engage the clerks in conversation,
he sent two of his own men-one of
them Bartel. the spy, who had been
established here SO long-by way OF
a rear stairway to find Kitty's room
and report to him what they learned
He stood for some time making po-
lite speeches with the desk men and
the porters, asking for certain infor.
nation as to routes and distances, but
all the time burning with impotence
that he heard no report from his mes
sengers. AS he stood, there came
news of DEMONSTRATING news enough.
There came shrieking down the stairs,
incoherent, babbling, a maid who
called out to the clerk, or to any who
would hear her!
"A man." she cried-"A man-killed
In her room-the young Americans
room-murdered-it is murder, tell
you!"
The officials of the hotel took
prompt action.
Close all the DOORS" ordered the

porter "Clear the corridors at onc,.

murderer whoever 1t may be. Have
the gendarmes come at once. You.
boy-run l say"
1t was hue and cry once more, and
Sachio was glad enough that his own
alibi was plain, for he knew not what
now might happen. One Of his men
re}oined him-the spy Bartel. The
other remained behind-his fate un.
known as yet.
As for Kitty, she was at this mo-
ment once more away from her hotel
and once more in the stately palace
Of Count Frederick.
She entered softly, leaving Roleau
as usual somewhat remote, to guard
against any sudden intrusion. Once
more she cast about searching gaze
upon the details Of the place. All its

There may be many reasons" con-

absence. Perhaps the business upon
which she came is not yet completed.
Perhaps her employers have called
her away. Perhaps she may have

majesty, there are Grahoffen spies in

Kitty turned back into, the room
and Sachio, irritated at the delay,
went so far az to take her by the arm
to induce her to leave the room with
him. She resisted him 80 vigorously
that for the time he stood back non

But at length the girls powers
proved no match for those brought
against her. She was forced from the
room toward the front Of the build
