THE HEART
is THE DYNAMO
OF LIFE

1t is the perpetual motion of exist
ence.
One of the commonest symptoms of
heart disease is shortness of breath and
weakness upon the slightest eXertion,
with swelling of the feet and sometimes
abdomen. Many cases of heart disease
exist in persons who are apparently ro-
bust and who are not supposed to have
anything the matter with them. Heart
disease occurs as a complication of
Bright's disease. the heart becoming very
much enlarged and gradually weaker, as
life advances. Rheumatism is also one
of the com onest causes of heart dis
ease.
If you are conscious that your heart
is any more a part of you than your
foot, it is a matter for immediate con-
sultation with DIR. Turbin, the expert
specialist and surgeon. Prompt at
tention oftentimes saves serious after
trouble and possible death. The
chances for recovery depend largely
upon to what extent the disease has
progressed. With the aid of suitable
heart tones which will act on the
muscles of the heart and enable it to
perform its functions patients are en-
abled to live to an old age with COM
parative ease and freedom from pain.
DR.. Turbin has specialized on the
heart for twenty years. He has seen
every phase of heart weakness; has
treated everything in the shape of a
weak heart. He has found that often
the so-caled heart troubles are not
from the heart at all. He can show
you wherein your hope may lie.
Have you futtering of the heart?
Have you skipping of the heart?
Have you palpitation of the heart?
Have you pain in the region of the
hearth
Have you pain in side of shoulder
blade?
Have you shortness of breath?
Have you weak, sinking, cold or dizzy

 Which way, excellency?" panted Roleau, riding alongside.

 And so, an hour later, she gave the management of the Ritz yet more cause for wonder, when, in the early hours of the morning, bedraggled, disheveled, pale, she and her unpre- possessing attendant pulled up once more in the street in front of the door.
 In her own room, after a certain time devoted to her toilet, which left her more at peace with herself, Kitty sat for a time pondering. Yes, she once more had half the coin-that half given to her by the king. So far, so good. But after all, she was as far from the ultimate success of her errand as ever she had been. Her own half of the coin-that which she had brought with her from America where was it? In the possession of a

At least she had evened matters with him. Once he had left her helpless in the desert- now in turn she had left him the pris- oner of ruthless men. Perhaps he never again would see the light of day his life even now might be forfeit, for all she knew. If so, she would have been the cause of all that

He himself has laid no hand on me until this very highland then not in rudeness. Indeed, for all 1 know, had he not come when he did, myself might have paid the forfeit he may be paying now"
 Kitty paused for time to look at her own face in the glass. It was very pale, very unhappy.
 ''I must set him free," said she with sudden resolve to herself There has been life enough lost over this already his must not be added I will help to get him free"

CHAPTER xxiV.
The Quality of Mercy.

A two-fold mental attitude occupied Kitty as she still sat in her own apart ment trying to make just estimate of her own necessities and those of an- other.
 If I sent to the police to rescue him" she said to herself-and now she called him" one who lately had been her enemy-"they would only laugh at me They do as they like these days. No one knows whose friends they are-those of the thieves or of honest people. No. it would be useless to tell them.
 "I have it!" she exclaimed half aloud 'I see it now. The king is still afraid of his people-he is hid in his own palace now lest he see his shadow-and all the time he is look ing for strong man-the same who he called to his side that night of the ball-Count Frederick Very well, King Michael wants Count Frederick and he shall have him. That is to say. he shall know where he is. If the king retains any power in this dis tracted country, surely he can prevail against thieves such as these. Yes. l will write to the king

 "Excellency. I tried"

CHAPTER xxlll.
Count Sachio and His Friends.


 Far across the neutral lands, beyond the desert of Intergraffen, in his hunt ing lodge at the edge of the forest, Count Sachio for long hours of uncer- tainty had nursed his own wra and disappointment at the denouement of the scenes which he had seen take place about him. Pacing up and down, refusing food or drink, his rage always turned toward the unhappy agent Ru. dolph, his unsuccessful messenger.

 The man addressed. now practically prisoner, and if not an object of sus- picion at least one of hostility, sat moody and unhappy in the main room of the lodge.

 They match-'tis done," exclaimed Kitty. half aloud. And indeed the broken edges of the coin fitted abso- lutely. Her errand was done-at last she had succeeded.
 "Roleau!" she started up now. But even as she did so she stopped once more arrested, the two halves of the coin still in her hand.
 There was little window at one side of the room, curtained window --she had not stopped to see whether or not 1t was glazed. Now through the parted curtain of this little aperture she saw the leveled black barrel of revolver protruding. its aim directly at her as she stood.
 "Roleau!' she called once more, and as she spoke covered away as best she might from the weapon whose aim was full upon her

CHAPTER XXI.
The Plunoc,

Roleau and Kitty learned soon enough that in a race of the best of horses against a good motor car the former has small chance. They heard the chug of the motor coming swift ly on. In turn those in the car could hear the hoof-falls of the flee ing horses. The fugitives had hur- ried to the rough country at the edge of the desert, but guided by a reck- less driver the speeding car clung close to them.
 A sudden exclamation from Roleau came back to her after time. He pulled his horse up strongly, and she of them lay the brink of sheer drop of unknown depth.
 Pull off" cried Roleau. "Get to one side and let them come-let them come on!"
 She swerved quickly aside just in time, and pulled up at the brink. There she was the witness of sud den tragedy.
 The men in the car, their eyes fixed only on the two whom they pursued, did not see the brink of the bank in time. Throttle wide open they came on at speed Too late they realized what was ahead. The car sped out into space-how far, neither of its occupants ever had time to know.
 Roleaus horse dropped into running water as boldly he sprang in out ahead of the car. Saved by his horse, he swan it to the bank. Not so fortunate those in the car. The vehicle turned over even as it fell, and dropped-a drop of many feet, pinning them under it beneath the surface of the stream. They were lost hopelessly, for had the car not crushed them they must at once have drowned, thus imprisoned.

 "Very we'll monsieur" said the renegade leader, "l am forced to be- lieve what you say-the coin is gone, no one knows where by now.

We do not fear him. for in way he is our brother. But tell me, monsieur, what is it-this coin? Why do so many pursue it?"

 Who is she then?-and what is she to you, monsieur?' demanded Blake.
 Count Frederick paused for half an instant, as though himself engaged in thought.
 "Monsieur,' said he, you ask me a question there indeed, l have not yet myself decided upon that answer. Who is she? She is an American that is almost all I know of her. She may or may not be of quality in her own land, but she has some desperate errand here in ours.'

Sachio grumbled some response, and

SachiO grumbled some response, ana the other went on.
 These strained times cannot hold together forever-the break will come before long. Our own monarch will not continue to endure this condition, half peace and half suspicion, that exists between the two kingdoms"
 "Yes-war!" exclaimed Sachio. But why war without success? War for plan or purpose or result-yes. we could agree to that. But curse it! man, do you not see that it all hangs on the ownership of this spirit coin? There is the issue. Without that we could gain nothing if we did go to war, not even though we won the war"
 "The economy of king may mean much, my friend" went on Sachio. Mi chael, the dead king, was business man-he saved. The economy of people is the hope of business-the economy of a king is the hope of a people itself There are two sorts of folk in the world-those who make mortgages and those who pay them. Ki-g Michael the Second of Gretzhof- fen is one who makes mortgages. King Michael the First was one who planned to pay them. He saved the money for that purpose-he intended to leave his kingdom rich.
 But where is his hidden treasury? We know something of it-it is un- der the Notifications of GretZhoffen Our own monarch knows so much as that-but no more. He asks me to learn more definitely the location of that treasury-and what have I done? What can I do-unless at length l shall gain not one but both halves of this Gretzhoffen coin? So, is it not plain enough?"
 Thirty years ago, your excellency. rejoined his friend, these kingdoms did fight"
 Yes, and that was ended by the alliance Michael the First formed with our own prince. Love did that, mes sieurs-he loved our princess, so all was forgotten. He was a good king and strong one. There is need for another strong man like him these days-but not like the second Michael of Gretzhoffen. Why. he gave away his very birthright-won by the fair face of girl-this strange young American. whoever she may be. He gave her the Gretzhoffen coin out of hand, as though 1t were no more than a farthing. for all he cared"
 But she cared that is evidence enough"
 Yes, she cared, that is true! and so did another care"
 Count Frederick?"
 Yes. n"w you have named them both" rejoined Count Sachio. his grim jaws set The young woman has half the coin, Count Frederick has the oth- CT half. They must both be found and swiftly as may be. Who will ride with me? Not you. Rudolph-someone must do the errand you failed in do- ing. You. Johann; you. Marco-come.

set in place by . metal hinge Back of this, in the interior of the cabinet. below a series of little pigeonholes. stood row of three drawers of rose wood. all beautifully fitted.
 The eye of Kitty caught these as she sat deliberately engaged in her dis tasteful but absorbing task. She drew out all three of these drawers and put them on the desk lid before her. examining each in turn. She wondered why she was glad to find there were no letters from any other woman-yes, here was ane-but the writing was that of an old woman, she was sure. And here were certain rings, seals. trinkets. miniature on ivory-even a tight curled ring of gray hair, silken and delicate.
 She sat Respondent after all her search. The half coin was not here! She had failed once more. Dubiously at her wits end-for now she knew not where to look further in the room she sat gazing at the three little TOSeWOOu uIdWSiS DelOle iiSi.
 Suddenly an idea came to her mind She picked up one of the drawers, and stepping to the side of the cabinet, measured the depth of the drawer against that of the upper case which had contained it. It was shallower than the full depth of the desk by some three inches.
 Hurriedly she stopped down in front of the desk, dropping her eyes to the level Of the drawers, which in the cunning of the maker had been placed precisely where the level of the hu- man eye would not be apt to fall. She peered back into the recess from which she had drawn the three tight fitting drawers. Beyond them she saw three little ivory knobs.
 An exclamation escaped her. Not for nothing, then, had been her own experience in antiques. She knew something of the cunning the old mak CTS put into secret drawers and spaces in some of their furniture.
 She thrust in her hand. grasped one of the tiny ivory knobs. and drew 1t gently toward her. It was as she had thought-there was row of three shallow secret drawers in the back of the desk, hidden by the three larger ones which originally she had drawn out Not one time in fifty would any one suspect the presence of these se- cret compartments. The work of the old cabinetmaker was beautifully dcne throughout. It had been a master mind, and cunning one, which had designed it and executed it.
 A strange conviction came to Kitty that now she was at the end of her quest. Hurriedly her fingers turned over the contents of the little recepta- cles. One held yet another miniature a beautiful thing-of a lady whose high and aristocratic features remind ed her of some face, she could not at first tell whose. There was nothing else.
 The second was also empty-just an address or so in faded yellow papers, treasured for some purpose, she knew not what and could not ask.
