"Who are you, them" demanded the
project of Count Sachio.
II am Count Sachio of Grahaffen,'

self.
might I suggest to monsieur lie
project that we hasten" interrupted
Count Frederick gently enough.
The project 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
pale and not wholly collected in all
him, and for the first time spoke.
Monsieur lie project" said she, you
cannot make guilt out of innocence.
1 can prove to You by this clerk and
all these others that I was absent
from the hotel fer several days. When
l came back it was but for short
time. 1 was absent when this crime
was discovered. How can you con-
meet me with it? Rather connect with
it those who have had access to my
room during my absence"
The official turned toward her
thoughfully, then to the captain of
gendarmes. Have you searched all
these persons ?" he inquired. The lat
ter shook his head.
$50 you do not know what evidence
has been destroyed. Come, then, per-
form that duty now, see what you
find upon the persons of these individ-
uals. The woman first"
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 it under her
thumb as she spread out her hands,
asking them to certify themselves.
The gendarmes, their captain, the
project of police, turned away non
plussed. The project hesitated as he
faced the calm dignity of the noble
man.

Certainly said Count Frederick,
and threw open his coat.
The project of police turned to his
men. 1--WE 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 filed 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."

"The daw will take its course" said
Count Frederick coldly. you have
before now seen fit to doubt me. Take
matters into your own hands, mon

on"
The project himself flung open tae
door and entered the mysterious room.
The room, so far as any victim OIL
a crime was concerned, was entirely
empty. Everything was in order al

CHAPTER xxxIv.
New Problems,

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 exertlng
all it's force usually employed in the
| preservation of life and property.
Swiftly 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.
What is this, monsieur" demanded
the officer, as he approached the desk
his quick eyes glancing over every de-
tail about him. Remain here, all of
you. Let no one attempt escape. What
is this, them"

the clerk, who acted as spokesman.
''This maid brings the alarm; she de-

What room was it, MONSIEUR?
"That belonging to young Ameri-
can woman, a Miss Gray"
Where is she?'

here but now. We did not see her en-
ter, but saw her leave. She and her

trance, so it seems. Soon after her
arrival gentleman inquired for her.
"And where is that gentleman"
The clerk looked about him. Count
Sachio by this time had approached
the door, and would have been glad
enough to pass out. Detained by the
porter for time, he now had met the
gendarmes, who allowed no one to
leave the place. The captain ap-
preached him.
Monsieur, you must Join us for a
time," and led him toward the desk,
where he resumed his questioning of
the hotel force.

of the clerk. The latter nodded.
"What did this gentleman say?'
"He asked me where was the charm

said he had known her before"

young American lately? Has anyone
else been in her apartments?'
The clerk considered for an instant.

"The Count Frederick, when was he

"Ah. that was before the return OF

several days."
The officer turned to his men.
"Those of you who remain" he said,

Stone Walls Do Not a Prison Make.
Roleau, guardian of the fortunes OF
his mistress, had remained at that
portion of the palace which seemed
tn him most useful as coign Of van
tage in watching against intrusion.
He had not been aware of the quiet
advance of Count Frederick when the
latter had been summoned by the cleo
trio bell set off by Kitty's presence IN
his own apartments. He knew moth
ing of the device by which the count

AS for the attendants of the palace
itself, no alarm came from them. In

manded of the men who met him.
Where is he? Is he at homer

major domo, the first to speak.
Roleau caught some sense of what
was coming on, saw the men approach
1ng,~ and darted back to warn his mis-
tress, whose long delay he could not
understand. He hurried swiftly, on
t1p-toe, along the halls he knew so
well, and naturally met no opposi-
ton. 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 moi! Vite! Vite!"
He fastened on down the hall,
knowing that his mistress was once
more in some desperate plight, and so
found himself at length face to face
at the foot of the staircase with the
Count Frederick, who turned to meet
him.
"Eh bien, Roleau?" smiled the lat
ter. What, again." You are most
faithful, shall I say most industrious,
in the service of this lady? would

LAS you please, MASTER" replied
Roleau, with aplomb. "But where is
she?"
"She seems safe,'' said Count Fred
erick coo1ly, 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 shook at the bars in
frenzy as he saw her. She approached
him, her eyes wide with joy at his

"Roleau, you will yet exhaust my
patience. This is my home. I have
had almost enough of your running
back and forth in it as you like. This
is the last time. Out of here, you fell
low"
'Is it 500" grinned Roleau savagely,
his own mind upon the main situation

"Who are coming?"
'The gendarmes. There is a charge

A LETTER TO THE
CONN CLUB BOYS,
Dear Boys

Dear Boys
Our last letter to you pertained
to the cultivation and thinning of
your club plants. We trust that
by this time you have all given
your corn proper space and that
YOUR cultivation has been frequent
and Of the right kind. The problem
OF how to lay your corn by may be
confronting some Of you boys at
this time and the question of how
to do this is often asked. To
obtain the very greatest yield of
corn, the old plan of laying by
should be omitted. Work should
be continued by doing shallow and
level cultivation so long as the
corn may need it. The question
then is how to tell when our corn
needs working and when not.
One thing we must do is to keep
the turning pillow out or any
implement that would throw a
ridge to the corn or go deep, but
instead of this maintain a level
cultivation with a small cultivator
not exceeding three inches in
depth. Putting dirt to the corn
does not make it stand up. Corn
stands equally as well with level
cultivation and Strengthens up
more readily with this cultivation
in case it does fall. Should the
weather conditions continue dry,
go through with the cultivator
every eight or ten days until the
corn is tasseling. In the event that |
The rains should be frequent,
may be omitted until
he rains cease and a crust begins
o form. Should your fields have
some weeds, vines or nettIes that
he fourteen tooth harrow failed
o get, use the heel-seep, which
Implement will get all of the
yegetation and maintain the de-
tired mulch. R. E. Ellis.

Death Of Mr.. Gardner.

Joe Gardner, a splendid citizen
|Oi Martin, passed away at his
home in Martin last Saturday. He
was buried Sunday morning, at
Gardner Station. Mr.. Gardner was
a victim Of that dread disease,
tuberculosis, from which he has
been suffering for year or more.
Although he had been in feeble
health for some time, he had been
confined to his bed only two weeks
at the time Of his death.
Mr.. Gardner was born in Weak
ley County thirty.seven years ago,
and has passed all his days in this
grand old county. He has been
engaged in various businesses in
Martin during the course of his
life, such as the feed-store, grocery,
cotton-gip, and others. He leaves
a wife and three children whose
sorrow is shared by a host Of
friends. He was one Of Martins
most respected citizens. The vac
ancy which his death leaves in the
circle of his friends will be felt for
a long time. The bereaved family
have our deepest sympathy.

MIA was an unarmed passenger
ship which, since it did not resist
capture, could not be sunk with
out transferring passengers and
crew to a place of safety.
The communication informs
Germany that it is on the prin.
ciple of humanity as we'll as upon
the law founded upon this princi-
pie that the United States must
stand" Opportunity is given to
Germany to submit any evidence
that American officials did not exc
cute their tasks thoroughly in in
specting the Lusitania before she
sailed, but the cardinal fact-that
the liner was given no warning
and made no resistance and was
primarily a passenger ship-the
American government declares,
throws into the background any
special circumstances of detail,
and lifts the case tout of the class
of ordinary subjects of diplomatic
discussion or OF international con-
troversy."
The issuance of another state
ment by former Secretary Bryan
coincident with the publication Of
the note added to the surprise in
official quarters at the character

IHE DEMANDS OF U. S. ARE SENT TO GERMANY

of Mr.. Bryan's argument. High
officials said the note employed
the very process persuasion
which Mr.. Bryan advocated and
did not necessarily lead to war.
A copy Of the note was deliver
ed to Count Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, who de-
clined to comment.
In diplomatic circles, generally,
the note seemed to create a
favorable impression. In quarters
friendly to Germany it was stated
that the document confirmed a
belief held since Count Won
Bernstorff's recent interview with
President Wilson, that the critical
stage had been passed, and that,
with the American viewpoint
would be able to find a way out
Of the dilemma that would satisfy
the United States.
One phase of the note which
attracted much attention in
diplomatic circles was that relat-
ing to mediatory steps on the
part Of the United States looking
toward reformation of warfare
on the seas generally. In this
connection it was suggested that
the chief difficulty might be an
insistence by Germany that the
allies refrain from interfering,
not only with foodstuffs consigned
to her civilian population, but
with raw materials of all kinds.

AMERICAN SHIPS and
LIVES MUST Be RESPECTED
Determined Stand on the Principle of
Humanity is Outlined in the
Communication.
COURSE IN CASE OF REFUSAL is NOT STATED

The United States in it's latest
note to Germany, formally asks
the imperial government for as
surances that measures hereafter
will be adopted to safeguard
American lives and American
ships" on the high seas. The al
tentative in case of refusal is not
stated.
1t was this note to which Will
liam Jennings Bryan refused to
attach his signature, resigning in
stead his portfolio Of state, there
by precipitating a dramatic cabinet
crisis. Robert Lansing, secretary
of state ad interim, signed the
communication which went forth
with the approval Of President
Wilson and his entire cabinet.
Friendly terms characterize the
document, which renews repre-
sensations made in the American
note Of May Is, after the Lusita-
MIA was torpedoed and sunk. The
German government, it is declar-
ed, must have been misinformed"
when it assumed that the Lusita-
MIA carried guns, as official inform
alton is at hand to corroborate the
contention Of the Washing
ton government that the Lusita-
