"A Prisoner.

Having dispatched her messages,
Kitty Gray sat alone once more in .hel
room. There came to her mind once
more the reflection that now she had
not even one portion of the broken
coin. As to that which had gone to
the king. she felt fairly sure that she
might regain 1t. AS to that which had
been taken from her by force by Count
Frederick, she was far as yer from
its possession.
"The simplest way IL the best" said
she once more. "Ill go back there
again."
II was not so fortunate as to find
monsieur the count at home before"
she explained to the attendants who
met her at the door.
Monsieur the count has gone out
but now"
A sudden resolution came to Kitty'f
mind even as = sudden flush came ia
her cheek. S%@N s,

The man left her, and she closed the
door. An instant later she was at work
turning over the articles on the
dresser, peering here and there, look
ing this way and that-and u%nsuccess'
fully.
But meantime the attendant who
had left her, anxious to be of service
to his master, sent out posthaste to
summon Count Frederick to his re-
turn. He met the count himself, and
yet another attendant, upon the point
of entering the palace. The newcomer
was talking to the count excitedly.
"Excellency, I tell you the woman
is outwitting you. She sent her half
tho coin this very morning-sent 1t to
the king by special messenger. l saw
it felt it in the envelope, l am sure.
There is some plot afoot. And ]
brought the news as soon as possible,
but have searched for you long,"
"Come," said Frederick, and he
FASTENED the more when he met the
messenger advising him Of Kitty's
presence in the palace.
Her search still uncompleted. Kitty
heard footsteps approaching, and
turned desperately like some trapped
animal. There was no e~scape-the
narrow window, as she knew, was two
stories above the court below. And
even as she stepped to the door she
met there the smiling. sardonic face
of Count Frederick himself.

could but stand and stare at him. An

She looked at her watch. The hour
was approaching eleven. The great
black and white ball was now in prog.

city.
She went to the window and looked
out into the night. All the court was
dark-save one window directly below
her on the opposite side, fifteen feet

LIFE ON A SUBMARINE.
There Are No Comforts. and Sleep Is
Almost impossible.

Speaking OF life on submarine, one

MIA and tuberculosis. The entire in
side of the boat SWeats like pitcher
of ice water on a hot day. Before we
are on ii three hours our clothes are
soaked, and they stay that way. We
have absolutely no heat, which means
that the boat is the temperature of the
outside air, Sometimes we nearly
freeze. The doctors say that the men
on a submarine never sleep; they
merely become unconscious for brief
intervals. The air, the odors from the
machinery the constant vibration and
the intense strain under which you la
Dor make sleep an impossibility.
"In Il storm. when we have TO seal
up, the air gets worse than anything
you can imagine There are eighteen
men and two officers in one of our
boats and ut any moment any one Of
the twenty may cause the death of all
the rest There Is no room for mis-
takes. The space in which the men
live is fifty feet long and about ten
feet wide. | can stand upright If /

ing in the nature of spark is allowed
below decks, but we can heat up cof
fee on the hot plates and occasionally
fry things. We can't smoke, and the
vibration of the engines makes it i'm
possible to read or even play cards, so
when we are not working there's moth
