CHAPTER xxVI.
Solitary Confinement.


When Kitty in her blind impulse of
self-preservation sprang out Of Count
Frederick's room, she did not at first
contemplate continued fight. Once
out of reach of immediate danger, she
paused, loath to leave what she had
come there to obtain, and loath also to
abandon her stout-hearted ally in his
time of stress. She turned back,
paused just outside the door once
more. AS she did so, yet another door
opening into the hall was pushed
silently ajar-opened fully. Yet an
other man, whom never in her life
had she seen before, now stepped out.
She felt hard hand close upon her
mouth, more than haif-stif1ing her
scream for help. "Silence!" she heard
his voice insist. go On ahead of me
Once more Kitty undertook to
scream, and again the firm hand
stopped her voice. 1t seemed to her
that some pungent aromatic drug
filled the car with its fumes. She
struggled less violently. Events
seemed to pass by her in a dream,
and she regarded them carelessly,
alphabetically In short, either in part
or in whole, she had lost conscious
ness.
When at length she fully regained
her senses she was alone-alone with
a terror which seemed to her more
overpowering than any she yet had
known. Instead Of her own apart
ments in her hotel, instead of the room
of Count Frederick or the hunting
lodge of his quondam friend, Count
Sachio, she found herself surrounded
by four barren walls-in what edifice
or in what place, she could not guess.
There seemed some sort OF door
yes. There was small. high. barred
window; but the latter was at sucn
height as to be almost beyond her

SEVENTH INSTALLMENT
CHAPTER XIV.
Divided.

Dlvided.
AS Kitty approached the little room
OF the counts palace-which before
now had proved to be something of a
storm center in the affairs of the Gretz-
hoffen coin-there came to her the
conviction that there might be others
beside herself who would have some
linking as to the whereabouts of the
missing portion of the coin, and who
might therefore arrive upon the scene
at much the same time as that of her
own visit. She was not altogether
surprised at the sudden interruption
of her labors, just at the moment Of
her success.
AS she saw herself the object of a
poised weapon, she swerved aside in
stinctively-called out instinctively for
help.
"Roleau!" she exclaimed, for, wom-
anlike, she had learned the value of
a strong mans arm, and her first
thought was of the faithful servant
who SO strangely had attached him
self to her own varying fortunes. And
Roleau came fastening from his
watching place outside the door.
He saw the little room occupied by
a man-who now suddenly had en-
tered-and who menaced Kitty, so
that. to save her life as she supposed,
she was ON the point of surrendering
to him both pieces Of the coin. The
sight of his mistress in danger was
enough for Roleau. With his custom
airy battle cry he plunged Immediately
into the conflict, careless Of the threat
ening weapon. In the melee the two
half coins both were dropped upon the
floor
Even now the ruling impulse Of Kit
ty did not quite forsake her. She
stopped and regained one of the half
coins, but the struggling men, shifting
here and there in the room, kept her
from securing the other. In the blind
instinct for escape she fed now to
the open hall, taking that direction
which led back from the front of the
building.
Roleau heard her pass, and could
not join her in fiight-but he heard
her give a cry of alarm whose cause
he could only guess. His energies were
fully occupied by the combat with this

Gentlemen"
The intruders, whatever the errand
Of each, took their eyes from one an
other and turned now, recognizing yet
another man who scarce had come in
friendship.
"You honor me greatly, gentlemen"
said Count Frederick with his usual
GOODNESS in any extraordinary situa-
ton. But might l ask why you care
thus to disarrange my apartment?
Had / known your own curiosity re-
garding it, I might have asked some
of my servants to assist you in a
search more orderly"

gan the stranger-who was none other
than Bartel, the late successor to Ru-
HE had left certain Of his belong
ings-some silver cases of the toilet,
Monsieur le Comte-he did not trouble
to ask you about them, and now he
sent me-"
Indeed! That Is most plausible!
But why seek for them in my rooms,
when his quarters were in quite an
other part Of the palace, my dear sir?"
CAS- to that" replied the other with
calm effrontery, 81 cannot say. I only
came here because the servants told
me that this was the room. OF course,
if there has been any mistake"
Cease, I say exclaimed Count
Frederick, frowning now, his face
flushing.
He turned from Roleau to the other
intruder in his apartments. Roleau
stood dumb. The other shook his
head.
Monsieur le Comte," said he, "the
young woman was here when I en-
tered-when this man also entered.
She passed yonder-when she had the
opportunity-and took with her one
half the coin. There lies the other on
your floor. She disappeared-we heard
cry"
Count Frederick stopped and picked
UP the object pointed out to him. 1t
was his own half of the coin-or that
which he had called his own-since he
had taken it from her.
So then, he reflected, she had found
the way to his most secret hiding
place-she was on the very point of
success when this last contretemps
had interfered with her plans. A new
feeling of admiration for her keen
ness and persistence once more came
to Count Frederick's heart. For a
moment he stood regarding half-re-
gretfully the bit of metal in his hand.
II shall not offer this trinket to
you, my friend" said he grimly to
the man Bartel, as he pocketed the
coin, ''for of course you were not look
ing for coins-only toilet articles-sil-
yer ones, did you say, sir? You shall
take back an excellent set of my own
to Count Sachio, with my compli-
ments. Tell him that it would seem
i'll to me that any guest of mine should
suffer risk of loss either TO his person
Or his property while he was beneath
my roof"
With these singing words, which
brought color to the others face,
Count Frederick turned coolly away,
and once more faced Roleau. That
was in his face now which did not be-
speak remorselessness, revengeful-
ness. No, something softer lay in the
mans cool gray eyes.

EXCHANGE PROBLEM

BALANCE OF TRADE CONTINUES
TO FAVOR UNITED STATES AND
ECONOMISTS ARE BUSY DEYIS-
ING PLANS TO MEET DEFICIENCY
(By Associated Press }

LONDON, Aug. while the Ameri-
can exchange problem is being appar-
emily ignored by the British govern
ment, which is content to let gold slip
away in small quantities without MAX
ing an effort to meet its indebtedness
to the United States, much advice is
being given by economists, through
the medium of the press, as to the
most efficacious method of dealing with
this problem, which with an adverse
trade balance of several hundred mil
lions sterling grows more pressing ev-
cry week.
One writer urges compulsory
economy to reduce imports and argues
that if the American exchange contin-
ues against Great Britain the prices of
foodstuffs and other necessaries will
continue to rise. 1t may develop that
there will soon be no exchange at all
as in the case of Petrograd, where
there exists only nominal exchange
of 20 per cent. against her, and gold

however, is in the position of being
self-contained as far as foodstuffs are
concerned. The same writer advocates
bread tickets as the only methed of
making the bulk of the English popula-
tion earning large and increasing
weekly wages to economic, remark
ing that appeals useless in Germany
a nation trained in docility, will be
equally inefficacious here"
Another, in strongly urging the great
wage earning British public to save
portion of the weekly wage, in order
that the government may borrow it
later at interest, says the fact must
not be overlooked that while trade is
supposedly good we are not trading
under ordinary circumstances, and
all engineering firms, ship
builders and many manufacturers

profits, are really trading with the

GERMAN SOLDIERS MUST

BERLIN Aug. Fighting for the
Fatherland does not exempt one from
paying the universal church tax, ac-
cording to ruling by the highest au
thorities who have been celebrating
on countless appeals for an opinion
on this question.
The chief church council of the
German evangelical church decides
that a man does not sever his connec-
ton with his church by going to the
front, and that if he worships at q
field church he does so free of charge,
so that his responsibility to his reg
ular congregation does not cease-f1.

are nevertheless not immune, unless it
is proved beyond shadow of doubt
that they hold no religion whatsoever
or have no religious connections-suc
as a wife who attends church, or
such as having been married by a
minister. The great bulk of the sold
iers at the front thus are affected by
the ruling.

not Scranton would support another
team in fast league such as the In
ternational is probably the only serious
question. as the up-staters already are
represented in the New York State
League. Reading has been without
league ball, however. since the Tri- State
did not start off this year, but the fans
of the town are anxious for fast ball
again 1t is said. and should a move be
made to send the Skeeters to the city
it is believed that the fans would
make every effort to have the transfer
brought about.

INDIANS OPEN UP
THREE GAME SERIES
Play Montreal To-day, Tomorrow
and Friday; Meet Bisons
Saturday

The Harrisburg Indians of the In
telnational League opened a three
game series this afternoon with the
Montreal team of that league. The
Royals are just few games above the
Indians, holding third place in the
column.
The Royals will play here tomorrow
and Friday, with the Buffalo Bisons
coming here as a double-header at
traction for Saturday. The five games
this week will play an important part
in Harrisburg's standing in the race,
as Providence, the team on the top
line, is less than ten games in tht lead,
while the Richmond team is pushing
the Indians hard for a place in first
division.
Both of the mines playing Harris
burg this week are made up of fast
mtn and stand second and third in the
race. To win the five games would
give Harrisburg "a games won and 29
lost, with percentage of .5SS to begin
next week.
Series with Rochester and Toronto
are scheduled for next week to be
played in this city. The first game be-
tween the present leaders of the league
and the Indians at Harrisburg is
scheduled for the latter part of this
month.
The series with Montreal in this city
is giving Harrisburg baseball fans a
chance to see some former big league
stars who are playing with the Royals
and will probably give the fans a look
IN on EnZeman, the crack pitcher on
the local staff, who was expected to go
into the box to-day or tomorrow.

Jack CoOmbs COllapses
While Opposing Braves
Special to The Teleerabh

New York. July 7. - During the
fourth inning of the first game between
the Boston Braves and Brooklyn
Dodgers, yesterday afternoon, Pitcher
Jack Coombs, of the Brooklyn team,
former Athletic star. collapsed as he
was about to pitch to Red Smith, of the
Braves, and had to be carried off the
field.
1t appeared that Coombs was suffer-
ing a recurrence of the injury which
he suffered during the worlds series
in 1911.
His collapse yesterday was almost
identical with that at the Polo grounds
in the worlds series game. With two
out and the bases empty, Coombs took
a long windup preparatory to delivering
the ball to Smith. He reached the full
height of his windup and then his right
arm dropped Imply and he sank to the
ground apparently in great pain.
An examination at the clubhouse dis
closed the fact that the veteran twirler
had strained a tendon in his left leg.
He soon recovered from the attack, but
it was said that it will be a week or
ten days before he will be able to pitch
again.
Coombs was just making successful
comeback after being out of the game
for two seasons and was regarded as
one of Manager Robinson's winning
pitchers.
