that Michael had so full warrant To
give rein to his impulses. He had not

hesitating, told him that woman was
waiting to be admitted. Her name
was one which came to his brain now
above all others.

| you delay?"
She came before him now, pale,
downcast, almost trembling. Heavy
enough had been the burden of anx-
iety she long had carried. She had
come to the king, but she sought not
this weak kings comforting. No, she
had come hither in search of the man
on whom even the king must rely.

have grieved for you, and who would

"You are the accused" said the pre-

time to establish lead.

BY Process of Elimination.

BY Process of Elimination.
The weapon Of the renegade leader
Blake was aimed steadily enough. But
the fraction of time in which Roleau
changed the position he had taken
saved the life of one man and cost
that of another.
1t was the fellow thief, Blake's COM
rade, fresh from the rendezvous, who
fell under the bullet intended for Ro-
leau himself.
Blake sprang forward, cropping I'M
der cover of the smoke, to find the
body of his enemy, stopped, paused,
sprang Dack-it was not Roleau, but
his own man whom he had slain!
Roleau by this time, with no more
than a quick flash of self-congratula-
ton at his unexpected safety, had
sprung away. Blake called out to his
followers and started after Roleau. He
did not meet him at the outer open
ing, but, ran into the arms of the band
of gendarmes who had followed Ro-
leau hither.
Seeing the renegade, pistol in hand,
and knowing that he had fired the
shot just heard, the sergeant seized
upon Blake and disarmed him. The
apache leader fought with all the bit
ter desperation of his kind when cor
nered, crying aloud for help. His
cries brought others of the band, who
Joined in the melee, so that the issue
for time was in doubt as between
the lawful and the lawless-these last
two factions who were locked in strug
gle by reason of the fortunes of the
missing coin.
At this juncture Roleau flung him
self into the conflict. His giant
strength proved such aid that finally
the sergeant and his men had sub
dued not only Blake the leader, but
others of his band AS for Roleau, he
stood grinning at the turn of events
and making no further attempt at es-
cape. Neither did the officer make
any movement to apprehend him
again.
Come with me, then, my friend"
well for me. We shall see what we
shall see."
Wherefore Roleau, no longer under |
espionage, went back with the
gendarmes toward the headquarters of |
the prefecture
Much of this was noted by Kitty |
