 What, your friends!" They laughed loudly at this.
 "Yes, your leader knows me-do you not remember how he took us captive the other day? He told me then if I needed aid to count on him. Does one of your brotherhood speak falsely?" They fell back from her now re- spectfully, impressed in part by what she said, and in part by the fear that they might offend their leader. This latter fear was well placed, for even now they heard the sounds of rapid | hoofbeats.

A New intruder.

The keen senses of Roleau, schooled in peril. told him of some hidden dan- ger-the very tenseness of the situa- tion warning him. Turning. he saw the upraised weapon. and in flash . blow from his own powerful arm had sent it flying through the window.

 Hearing the sound of this encoun- ter, Count Sachio and his companions 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.
 "The American." exclaimed Sachio, 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. run!" 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 Rs much for the stranger

 Wa king 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 Sachios friends who pressed him most closely They fell directly before the packet Swiftly. the long hand of the stranger reached out and caught it up.
 There remained for him no more relish for the fight. An instant later his crossed arm against the throat of his assailant, he broke away. flung through the open window and left the others to shift as they might.
 Roleau, still held in the powerful grasp of Count Sachio himself, strug, gled furiously. all the time calling to Kitty to make her own escape.
 "Roleau!" called Kitty. Quick. he he has it-he has stolen 1t. We must follow him." And Roleau did his best to shake himself free.

 And you ask a thief to catch a thief?" The bandit chieftain smiled grimly.
 No, not in the least-I do not call you so, you brothers of the desert. You yourself, Captain Landozi. told me to come to you if needed help. We'll, l need it now, tonight, this very moment! am all alone. need conduct to Gretzhoffen town. I am convinced that the man who robbed me fled thither. What. would you allow one to escape who would rob a woman?"
 No" exclaimed Landozi. That is not our trade. It is our profession that we take only from the rich; and we do not side with those who rob the weak. Excellency, my word is my word. You come to us for aid, and we should be barren of all honor did we not give you aid. What can we do?'

a trail" And as she caught up book 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 cid, 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. Wonder lay the trail to Gretzhoffen. He seemed bound 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. It was true-an instant later her own flying hoofbeats pursued those now lessening in the distance. And as she fled Kitty left a 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 1 in the pursuit of the escaping thief
 who had their coin. The grasp of Sachio upon him did not relax, and now others re-enforced their leader.
 "Ah, well, messieurs," he said grin, ming. at length, you have the argu' ment."

 The companions of the count com, | piled. but could make nothing of the search, Roleau stoutly asserting that he knew nothing of it and had it not in his possession.

 At last. however. there came the sound of one driving furiously. ."On guard. gentlemen! exclaimed Sachio.

It should be understood now that when Count Frederick had returned to his own apartments and found his private room occupied by a man who evidently had been there for no good purpose-a man left trussed up and bound by yet other intruders-he had had some barley with the helpless in truder in the way of learning what had been the cause of his strange plight.

SUIT TO RESTRAIN
HIGH SCHOOL AID
WILL DELAY PAYMENTS
SUIT FILED IN PULASKI COURT
BY SENATOR EDMONSON
AND OTHERS.

Little Rock, May 8.-Senator W.
o. Edmonson of Stone county, j. G..
Albright and other citizens Friday
afternoon filed a suit in the Pulaski
chancery court to restrain state aid
to high schools. The suit is directed
to M. F. Dickinson, state auditor, ana
R. G. Mcdaniel, state treasurer. 1t
is sought to restrain the auditor from
issuing the warrants and the treasur-
er from paying them, as drawn upon
the vouchers of the department Of ed
ucation.
The validity of Act 1923, of the ses-
sion of 1911,' setting aside 1000 a
year for aid to the high schools, from
the general school fund 1t is at
tackled upon several grounds, princi-
pal among which are that it is in vi
olation of the law which provides that
no money belonging to the school
fun6 shall ever be used for any other
purpose, and that no money shall be
drawn from the treasury except in
pursuance Of specific appropriation.
The act of 1911 provides for $4,000
year to support high schools on con-
dition that pupils anywhere in the
county may attend free of tuition.
An effort was made by Representa-
tive Condray, Senator Edmonson and
others in the last legislature to re-
peal the act. The bill passed the
house and was defeated in the senate
by narrow margin. No bill was
passed specifically appropriating the
money.
A meeting of the state board of ed
ucation has been called for May Is
to pass upon the applications for aid.
Up to the present time about rs have
been received, but the greater num-
ber are expected next week. The
court action, however, will delay the
granting of aid indefinitely.

short-ended names are obvious. For
instance, McGraw is called Mac" and
in the old days Frank Chance was
always "Husk' because of his size and
his rough and ready manner of con-
Quoting his team.

he was pitcher be was one Of the

and fool a lot of hitters just by what
he knows about them. Many nick
names come from the baseball writ
ers. When Harry Mccormick was
with the Giants a writer on New

used to get under his hide very badly.
