These were rival factions, or rival

They fell upon each other fiercely, and
in the swift clash of arms all else was

the potency Of the white mans
weapons. Their own weapons none

selves to the task of mutual mutila-

The conflict swayed here and there,

Before him now lay a series of gal

that the treasure chamber must lie

for some purpose of protecting it. He
acted upon that theory now, and with
no better guide than the greater damp
ness of the rock floors which he fol-

AS for any offense against Grahof-

weak have done now, with his right
hand man, his ablest general, his best
man of affairs, gone? He hesitated as
to means of the offensive, just as his
chief rival pondered the results pos
sible, even of successful offensive.
Meantime, the truth remained that
the key to all this coil was absent, nor
was she apt to return. Kitty Gray
certainly must cherish keen memory
of injuries she had known on these
shores. The armies of America might
come back, the ships Of America might
anchor in these ports, their guns might
exact apology or tribute-but Kitty
Gray herself would not return, that
was sure. Therefore affairs halted.
The battle was arrested as though the
sun had halted midway of the heavens

Yet, not so far away, as actual dis
lance is measured, the two principals
of this play still lived. Kitty and
Count Frederick were separated from
the rival kingdoms by not so many
leagues of the sea, yet they knew not
where they were more than did any
of these others. The sea which
stretched between the two lands was
narrow enough in fact, yet potentially
it lay UNNECESSARILY wide.
AS to the secrets of the rival king
doms which they had left behind,
neither of these two much concerned
himself There were other things
which concerned each vastly more.
