He waited for an instant, and found
himself without intention. in posses

Kitty at the time, in fact, was tele-

Nothing is enough for one of your
kind to know" replied Roleau blandly.
He might perhaps have engaged. in
still more truculent conversation with
the clerk, had he not at that moment
felt hand laid on his arm.
He turned to face a sergeant of
| gendarmes, who drew him to one side.

my prisoner" said the man. Come

sergeant.

Is that not true?"
"It is far from true" returned the
gendarme grimly; you will see how

Roleau found this proposition diff

police closing in upon him, he went
with them now peaceably as he might,
to the tribunal where someone must
answer for the recent crime.
The prefect greeted him grimly
enough, yet with certain exultation
in his mien. 1t was necessary in that
country, as in others, that victim
should be found for the law. Per-
haps in that country more than in
many others, it mattered little who

As for Roleau, now object of solici

as he had made his escape from the
field where the three had SO nearly
met disaster, he made such speed ae

very well. would hasten as fast as
might be to find some hiding for her
self and the coin.
But where was she now? That, he
could not guess, for he had no means
of learning that Kitty had been left
in the palace of the king. Rather, he
supposed that she would be at the ho-
tel which she had made her residence.
He bent his own steps thither as rap
idly as might be.
He met only coldness at the office

The SineWs of War.

The SfneWs OF War.
1t was touch and go between the
two little Kingdoms for a time. Their
troops had faced each other in the
open field. Blood had been shed
Generals had looked other generals
In the eye at no great distance. AT
the lines Of contact the imperial
rulers Of the two countries had been
within earshot one of the other.
Yet they parted now. Why? The
trumpets sounded the recall, even as
the leaders were awaiting the sum.
mons for the charge. Why? At least
one ruler had been eager for the as
sault, yet did not advance his troops.
Why? The other, vacillating as ever
OF soul, none, the less had been upon
the battle front itself, whether or
not his courage had been more than
temporary. He now retired. Why?
The answer to all these questions
lay in the hands of the young Amer
lean girl. Sundered, the two halves
of the divided Gretzhoffen coin still
pleaded for reunion. One lay in the
grasp of another. Had either king
dom on this day owned them both,
war would have ensued.
Cortislaw of Grahoffen, old as he
was, none the less was in respect of
martial nature far in advance of the
weak ruler of Gretzhoffen. Michael
had come to the rescue not so much
to save Count Frederick from danger
as to save Count Frederick for him
SELF He needed Frederick's courage.
Not 30 Cortislaw, who retired to his
own city fuming and full of ire. Evil
was that hour for the courtiers of
Grahoffen, and worst of all for the un-
fortunate Sachio, who had promised
80 much for his sovereign and him
self, and who had come so far short
of the measure of his promises.
Believe me, my good friend
Sachio," exclaimed Cortislaw, when at
length that crestfallen individual was
brought before him. "Your failure to
bring me the missing half of the coin
has well-night cost me my dignity and

such disappointments at your hands,"

but he has shown that under certain
circumstances he not only can but
will. If we delay we lose all the ad-
of the initiative. None can
tell what yonder Count Frederick will
do, for at least he does not lack cour-
age. And now he will be eager for |
revenge against us for the danger in |
which we have placed him."

The Chamber Of Horrors.

The Chamber of HorrorA
Arrived presently in the royal pal
ace and in the company not only OF
Count Frederick, but of yet other no
blemen and officials, King Michael re-
laxed his martial front under the
warming influence of the wine on
which he SO much relied.
''They 1ed," he exclaimed again and
again, boastingly, as he referred to
the scenes which but now he had left.
"They fed before us like sheep, my
dear count. With myself to lead the
army-and you at my side-what
chance would they have? They knew
they had none, and took counsel of
their wisdom for once. If they re-
main in that counsel, surely they will
stay behind their own walls, and not
give offense to our country. We would
annihilate them. A half hour more,
and we would have plundered their
city today. Their treasure would have
been ours!"
What. treasure, your majesty?" in
auired Count Frederick coldly. would
we go to war for that?"
For what else?" smiled the king.
For liberty, justice, freedom, your
majesty"
"Tut! tut! where do you get those
terms? A monk speaks! But listen,
did we not march to your rescue?"
Eyes, your majesty, am not un-
mindful and not unthankful. But still
we lack the clue which alone can make
war possible or desirable-the clue
which alone has back of it motives
worthy of king and of a people,"
well, well, what does all this mean
then?" rejoined Michael, irritated.
Where do we arrive? What is it that
you ask?"
II can ask no questions and answer
none, until We have found once more

King Michael smiled in self-satisfac-
tion at last.

Yes, and those persons were per-
sons that had no more at stake than
you have, Count Sachio," broke in
Cortislaw, with the cold wrath his
officers knew 80 we'll. "Have they
more reason tor success than you?
Are they of greater wit than yourself?
By the Lord! If those things be SO,
it's time we had better wits about us
than such as yours"
Sachio hung his head, but found no
speech in answer and the king went
on:
Listen now"
He beckoned about him other off,
cers OF his court, and held out be-
fore him in his palm the half coin
which had come into his possession.

He did not pause to ask much Of the
waiting woman, but hurried away
down the hall, intent on certain plans
Of his own.
He must find her, must see her at
once. He had no real idea as to which
course Kitty had taken after leaving
the room, but alone after a time, he
walked more slowly he could not say
why. Something came to his senses,
as first not recognized-a faint
scent-a perfume which it seemed
to him he had known before-the per-
fume of violets, faint, indefinite, fra
grant.
He found himself at length in a mar
row hallway from which there were no
side passages. 1t led him deeper back
into the palace, its trend continually
downward. Thus finally he found him
self in the self-same subterranean tun-
mel which Kitty earlier had discovered.
She was searching for the torture
chamber!" said he to himself, with
sudden conviction. THAT is why she
came here!"
He came at length to the great door
which closed the passageway. Yes, in
the dust before him were footprints,
and In the dust on the door itself were
finger prints! The silence and secre-
cy OF ages had been broken within the
hour.
He pushed open the door-pusned 1t |
until 1t met some obstruction-some-
thing which lay vaguely white upon
the floor. He turned downward the |

Gretzhoffen treasure is enormous-we
know that it is concealed in the tor

that may be. Beyond that we know
no more. 1t is the other half of the
covet now. This half but whets our
anger until we have the mate for it.
Nov, my noblemen, you who pre-
tend to serve me and this people,
once more / warn you-yonder half
| coin, or your resignations-or your
heads"
His officials left him, all in state
bordering upon CONSERVATION, for
they knew that this king was not
one soon forgetful of his hatred or his
revenge. They laid their heads to-
gether, Sachio desperately anxious
now, and tried their best to formu-
late some plan. All they could con-
clude was tba, the coin had found its
way back to Gretzhoffen once more
in the possession of the persons who
so stoutly had defended il.
Meantime these were far away as
time had allowed them. The walls
of Gretzhoffen sheltered now both
Kitty Gray and Roleau. Close behind
these rode King Michael at the head
of his troops, at his side the man
whose danger had called him forth
none less than Count Frederick him
self.
My dear count" exclaimed Michael
in nis own very pretty opinion of his
prowess, "all is well that ends we'll.
Did you not note the speed with
which we came to rescue you? Was
it not all magnificent"
"Yes," replied the count. "The wit
OF yonder girl-her courage-they
were indeed magnificent
"Her wit? Her courage?"
Pardon, your majesty, but was 1t
not those things which brought you
to our rescue? How else could you
have known of our stress? 1t was she
who carried the news-she, doubt
not. who also carries the coin"
1.-THE coin? What coin? Why do
you speak of it?" demanded Michael
in a certain surprise. "We have that
half coin in our own possession-or at
least have supposed .so-surely did
have it but the other day. You have
one half, have you not, and I the
other? If either half be missing, at
least I do not know where it is"
"It is in Grahoffen town this min
ute in every likelihood" exclaimed
Count Frederick, careless of any
consequences that might arise if his
counterfeiting were discovered. 1--WE
had half, that equally lis sure, in our
hands in the mountain fight. The
young woman and myself gave it in
keeping of her servant, the man Ro-
leau-a stout fellow and a desperate
fighter, as more than one of yonder

And where is he now?"
"That is what I cannot say" re-

MiCHELOTTI ACCUSED
 0f ATTACKING MAULLS
Alleged That Grocer Became Too StreHuous in His Efforts to
 Collect Account.

A Michelotti, Main street fruit dealer, will be in the police court this mornng, to answer to a charg4 of disturbing the peace, as a result of a quarrel he is said to have had early last night at his place of busi- ness with Louis Maulls, one of the proprietors of the Richelisu cafe, which went into the hands of a re- ceiver.
 A warrant charging Michelotti with assault with intent to kill was also served upon him last night Dy Deputy Constable Jim Reidinger, and on this charge the defendant will be brought into a justice court for ex- animation.
 It is alleged that the Richelies: cafe owes Michelotti establishment a sum of money for goods purchased, and that last night Michelloti ap- preached Maulls on the subject, de- manding that the account be paid. There were harsh words passed, and duite a crowd is said 10 have gather ed. The polire report is that lo blows were passed, tut the' allegation is also made that Michelotti assaulted.
