CHAPTER LII.
BY Land and Sea.


In the confusion which followed the
retreat OF the Grahoffen troops upon
their own capital, Roleau found him
self swept away from the officer who
first had taken him in charge.
Roleau. not unused to scenes OF yio-
lence, had himself we'll in hand, and
now studied his situation calmly, find
ing it somewhat to.his own advantage.
He say that he now had better oppOr-
tunity for escape than at any time
before
Resolved at last, he slipped away be-
yond his guards, and made off through
the city. not to the westward toward
the plain which lay between the two
cities, but to the east where lay the
water front Of Grahoffen.
The desert which lay between these
two little kingdoms ran far to the
southwark in a barren peninsula, On
either side OF which swept the blue
sea. Each kingdom, therefore, might
be said to have a seaport as good as
the other. although that of Gretzhof-
fen lay closer to the Mediterranean
proper. Nevertheless, the Grahoffen
harbOr Was an ample one and here
all the tiny navy of the little kingdom
lay-beyoud the aviation grounds
where the scanty corps Of that serv-
ice sometimes held their maneuvers.
As may be seen. each Of these little

this order and that.

cried.

Il dare anything that another man
dare rejoined Cortislaw sayagely.
Quick. then-order the first boat
ready"
Now in truth the nobleman and hi.
sovereign were to embark in a novel
undertaking. The long, slim fish.
nosed craft, with its upright peri
scope, received them. They heard the
hatch closed firm above them, heard
the singing OF the air pumps and saw
the gray Opaque wall OF the water. no.,
below them. but around them, above
them. as at length the craft. obedient
TO the command of its officer, slid out
from its slip into the h2rbOr aad head
ed forward after what had been
pointed out to it as its prey.
Part Of the time submerged, most Of
the time just breaking the surface with
the deck, they sped on.
When al length. with matches open
and access given to the deck. they
sped on. unsubmerged. close upon
their quarry, none OF them a. first
heard the curious humming which
came on from the rear, none for the
moment saw the vast shape which ap-

r!Yallns methods Of richer empires
than their own had developed as best
it could each branch of the service
approved in modern warfare. Each
had its little corps of air craft, each
its miniature navy, its submarines, its
destroyers.
Full details of all this Rolrau did
not know. He knew we'll enough
none the less. that escape for him Law
by water and not by land
1t was night when he approached
the wharyes along the Grahoffen har
Dor front. At their anchorage lay the
dim gray bulks Of the few battleships
belonging to Cortislaw. At one of the
docks signs Of activity attracted him.
4 yacht. long, clean-lined vessel, a
thoroughbred in all details, beauti-
fully equipped and apparently well
manned and differed, was getting
ready to set out Roleau looked at
1t closely. 1t bore the royal ensign.
In truth. it was none less than the
yacht of royalty itself.
Good morrow, sir said Roleau to
the captain of the yacht. before whom
he presented himself little later. Il
see you are setting out. Would you
take . passenger, one as anxious as
yourself to leave this placer"
The captain looked at this intruder
for a moment with none too much
favor.
This boat Is not for charter said
he. I'VE are leaving, it is true, but
we offer no passage for the public"
"Nor am l under charter for the
public" rejoined Roleau calmly. II
am in high service. None the less. l
am ready to pay for transportation
from this place. l am careless where
you may be sailing. Ask me not too
many questions, and will not inquire
of you. my dear captain, why you are
now sailing with the kings yacht"
This bold chance thrust went home.
Roleau suspected now that the cap.
tain was sailing under orders of his
own and for reasons OF his own. The
man hesitated now.
"Well, then" said he, at length, I'VE
have room. that is true. But as to
refugees"
Call me no refugee!" said Roleau
firmly. Il tell you, l am on business
Of importance, and care little where
you 60. save only that you take me
hence. / can pay" |
BY this time Roleau was aboard.
The captain neither welcomed him
nor repulsed him. He only shrugged
his shoulders, and accepted some
coins which Roleau placed in his
hand. !

CHAPTER III.
Roleau, tho Spy.

In all these rapid events Of the last
few hours Roleau had been loft quite
TO his own resources. His mistress
had slipped away from him without
his knowledge. Count Frederick was
gone, he knew not where. He guessed
rather than knew that each of them
might be seeking the other. That
meant, according to his reasoning.
that they must be at or near the royal
palace. 1t was thither Roleau at
length turned his own footsteps.
I Discovered at last through the notice
attracted by his lack of uniform, he
was halted by an officer, who brought
him forthwith to the commander OF
the army, none less than Sachio, who
sat close to the king, watching the
progress of the battle.
General" said the officer to Sachio,
here is a man who was trying to
get through our lines. What shall we
do with him? We think perhaps he
is spy"

he said. grimly. Il know you. yes,
well enough. We have met more than
once before now. l recall you at my
lodging, and elsewhere. What do you
here? Where is she. your mistress,
the young Americana"
"Yonder somewhere, excellency,"
said Roleau, pointing toward the pal
ace.
Take him away, lieutenant. and
keep him safe until call for him."
1t was thus that Roleau remained
for a time unobserved, but was ulti-
mately caught in the general rout OF
King Cortislaw's armies. 1t was night
when finally the rout ended under the
walls of Grahoffen itself.
Cortislaw was an old man when he
had started out that day. Since morn
ing he had aged yet a dozen years,
Nothing was left to him! The end
Of his life's dream was at hand.
Curses upon all things" exclaimed
old Cortislaw, at last. sweeping a level
glance under his bushy gray brows at
his courtiers. Once more they have
proved too much for us. 1t was my
one remaining chance"
None dared raise voice against the
wrath of tho broken king. After
time. he went on:
What use. then, Count Sachio. was

lish such a plant and the difficulties
which would be encountered in gath
ering an efficient working force, Mr..
Campbell said
In order to make shells in quanti-
ties sufficient for active operations we
should need perhaps a hundred acres
of machine shops filled with lathes
and drills, besides special machinery.
To supply our present army or navy
with what is needed in time of peace
we would not require one machine
where a hundred or a thousand would
be needed during a war. This great
plant would stand idle, eating up
money, while the machines might be
entirely out of date by the time the
war came.
I'VE have again the problem of idle
employees. for we could not keep 10, 900
men sitting around the shop waiting
for the war. The houses for the work.
men would be empty, and still they
must be kept all the time ready for oc-
cupancy. When the war did come il
would be necessary to get together this
immense force. Men would not come
unless they were offered more than
they were making wherever they were
employed, because they would know
that they would be thrown out of work
at the end of the war"

Big MOUNTAIN OF
IRON ORE STORED
Steel Co. Piling Up Huge Heap
of 1000 Tons; Enough
For Winter

To forestall Jack Frost in his an
nual prank OF choking the Great Lakes
with ice, and to keep the flaming mills
at Steelton at their present feve ish
activity. the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany is storing a huge mountain of
iron ore at the Steelton plant.
Just across the canal from Front
and Swatara streets. the cinnamon
colored hill is rising high into the air.
Before long the officials here expect
to have between 1900 and 1000 tons
of are stored here.
From the Minnesota mines the ore
is fioated across the Great Lakes in
huge frelghters and then shipped by
railroads to the local plant.
Here the big steel cars are run up
onto the concrete and steel trestle in
the ore yards and the hoppers opened.
The ore runs down into a large COM
partment between the concrete piers.
Then big clamshell scoop is swung
over the pile, drops down, picks up its
load and swings over the rapidlyris-
ing mountain of ore and is dumped.
This big scoop picks up just Z II tons
of ore at each operation.
This new ore yard is one of the i'm

Simple Remedy Promotes Health
BY Overcoming Tendency

Advancing years impair the action

often the direct cause of ill health.
Headache. belching, biliousness,
bloat, drowsiness after eating and
other symptoms of constipation can
be readily relieved by the use of a
