ters, as was generally known, lay lit
tie way back on the cross-trail of the
main road, between the two Kingdoms
of Grahoffen and Gretzhoffen, which
crossed midway of the neutral lands
When Kitty fed after the thief
Blake, 1t was at first with no definite
purpose of her own; but she had not
gene far before she realized that alone
she could accomplish little against
such men as he; and she doubted not
that he was on his way to join his
comrades. What then was there to
do? Who could aid her?
Even as she rode the thought came
to Kitty's mind of the debonair bandit
leader, Landozi, the same who had so
gallantly freed her and escorted her
to the citys gates but a short time
before. She was woman enough to
know the impression she had made on
the bandit chief-and shrewd enough
also to hit upon him as an ally in her
own plans. Therefore, as Kitty rode
now-not so fast as not to leave abun'
dant bits Of paper on the trail so that
Roleau might be able to track her-it
was not towards any citadel of the law
not to Gretzhoffen town itself-but
towards the capital of lack of law;
the rendezvous of the ragged ban
ditti of the desert.
They sat, these rude and careless
folk, i'll clad, ragged, yet not i'll con-
tent, under the sheltering rocks which
made their lair or den on the cross
road In the neutral lands. Cooking,
eating, drinking, they spent the time
as persons Of no more mentality than
theirs would spend it-joking, con-
versing, talking Of what they had done.
vaporing of what they were about to
do. Most prominently in their minds
seemed to linger the memory of their
little expedition in which they had
taken prisoner the Count Frederick
and the beautiful young American.
'And the chief let that prize got"
grumbled one. "Out OF the whole en-
terprise we got nothing, absolutely
nothing. What the count gave US

divided fairly among our band. The
main prize-the young woman-we
got nothing for her whatever. And
yet, what a chance for ransom!"
Such a chance does not come oft
on. But | wonder where the chief
himself is tonight. And are the pick
cts out down the road? In these times
we cannot be too careful, for they say
that between the two Kingdoms war
may come, and If so It would be but
our luck for Cne OF the armies to
ask us to recruit with them"
Go. you fellows, two Of you," In
structed one who seemed to be some
scrt OF lieutenant. Step out and
scout down the road a Bit"
1t was not long after this that the
men left at the rendezvous heard in
the darkness a wOman's scream.
With this came the laughing shout Of
their comrades.

CHAPTER XIX.


The man who had proved himself
the last possessor of the kings half of
the Gretzhoffen coin was the most un-
worthy OF any thus far concerned in
its destinies. True, Kitty's recollec-
ton had been correct-she had indeed
seen him among Landozi'S condottieri.
Yet lawless as the members of that
band were, he scarce was fit to claim
comradeship with them.
His name in truth was Blake-a rem
egade Englishman, who had for some
time belonged to the underworld of
the capital of Gretzhoffen. If, animat-
ed by some greater ambition OF his
own, he now and then Joined the bands
OF the desert rovers, his real prefer
ence was for the underworld Of the
city, where, with his comrades of the
cheaper thieving gentry, he might for
the most part smoke or loaf in idle
ness not concerned in deeds of activ-
ity or daring. It had been by mere
chance of his prowling nature that he
had learned something about the own
ership of the broken coin-had guessed
that 1t might have some value, and
had resolved to possess himself Of it.
AS he fed now, therefore, he made
not for the desert SO much as for the
dens of his own sort in the purlieus
Of Gretzhoffen town itself. When at
length, after his long ride across the
neutral country, he found himself once
more near to what he called horne, he
cast loose his horse and completed his
journey on foot
At the door of the underground dive,
where he counted upon meeting most
of his friends, he made the usual sign
OF admission. 1t was choice band Of
kindred souls who rose to greet him
as he entered. They asked him what
cheer.
What have | done-what have ]
taken?" Staggering. he pushed them
aside and threw on the table in the
center of the room a bit of coin which
he took from his pocket.

Count Frederick found upon the
floor little kerchief, which told him
much.
Very WELL" said he to Rudolph,
that Is precisely what shall do! We
shall go to find your master, Count
Sachio. There has been too much
mystery Of late; perhaps he can ex-
plain a part Of It,"
1t was thus, therefore, that Count
Frederick and his new passenger had
come in swift car from Gretzhoffen
direct to the lodge of Count Sachio,
beyond the neutral lands. And hav-
ing arrived at the chalet Rudolph had
lost no time in flinging himself from
the car and Fastening to explain to his
master that absence which he knew
would be so resented. Seeing Roleau

his own rage overcane him and he lost
not an instant in casting himself upon
Count Sachio's prisoner.
This was not altogether fortunate
pnl OF
the attack, and by this time somewhat
in possession Of recuperated powers,
made so stern heave at his bonds
that he broke them; and thereupon ad-
dressing himself to the combat once
more, soon gave Rudolph all he liked
to do.
Meantime Count Frederick, thinking
It well to guard all exits of the chalet,
himself had gone to the rear, and had
found the open window through which
Kitty and the stranger had escaped.
What he now saw, therefore, in the
main room, was his own late prisoner
engaged in conflict with Count Sachio's
prisoner.
They find him Tartar" exclaimed
he to himself; for at that moment Ro-
leau, casting Rudolph aside, made for
the outer door of the chalet.
"Stop!" cried Count Sachio loudly,
as others would have followed him.
1T is useless! Wait-he has not the
coin. Why waste time on him!"
They fell back as the count once
more took charge Of this complicated
situation.
"As for you, Rudolph" he exclaimed,
you have come late, and you have
failed-you have not the coin that you
were sent to bring me-"
"EXcellency, no-I have failed. That
mamie pointed to the door where
Roleau had fled-"he and a young
woman caught me even as | was
searching fer it where you directed
me. They fell on me and trussed me
up and left me helpless. | stayed
there until the master of the place
came. 1t was he who brought me
hither-I told him you would make
any explanation that, could be made" "
"And a fine explanation anyone can
make!" exclaimed Count Sachio bit
terly.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A New Intruder,

ger-the very tenseness of the situa.
tion warning him. Turning, he saw
the upraised weapon, and in a fash
blow from his own powerful arm
had sent 1t flying through the window.
1t fell clinking on the floor at the feet
Of Count Sachio and his friends. Kit
ty, rescued from the danger which
she had not realized, sprang back. An
instant later Roleau had grappled
with the intruder.
Hearing the sound of this encoun-
ter, Count Sachio and his companions
sprang at the intervening door, broke
1t in. They found two strange men
engaged in an encounter whose cause
they could not guess, but both Of
whom undoubtedly were intruders in
this place, and who, therefore, might
be regarded as enemies

as now he saw also the young girl,

Quick, excellency. rum" exclaimed
Roleau.
The strange man was not easily
to be disposed of, but gave even the
powerful Roleau all he liked to do to
handle him. Meantime Sachio flung
himself upon Roleau, his comrades did
as much for the stranger.
In the melee, which slipped from
place to place upon the floor, Sachio
let fall the little bag with the kings
half coin-in his excitement he had
forgotten that he still had it in his
hand The stranger whose shifty
eyes caught everything, saw the bag
as It lay upon the floor.
Working gradually towards the
place where the little bag lay, now
underfoot. now scuffed aside by the
struggling men, the stranger managed
to trip and throw that one of Sachio's
friends who pressed him most closely.
They fell directly before the packet.
Swiftly. the long hand of the stranger
reached out and caught 1T up.
There remained for him no more
relish for the fight. An instant later,
his crossed arm against the throat Of
his assailant, he broke away. flung
through the open window and left the
others to shift as they might.
Roleau, still held in the powerful
grasp of Count Sachio himself, strug-
gled furiously, all the time calling to
Kitty to make her own escape.
"Roleau!" called Kitty. Quick, he
he has it-he has stolen 1t. We must
follow HIM" And Roleau did his
best to shake himself free.

Kitty turned, knowing that she
must act quickly or be taken prisoner
herself.

CEMENT FLOORS FOR STABLE
Cutters Should Be Laid First With
Slight Fail at One End-Use
Wooden Trowel for Finishing.

When laying cement floors, cutters
should be laid first with slight fall
to one end. These should be to s
inches deep and Is to Is inches wide.
The distance from gutter to STAN
chion should be about feet inches
for ordinary cows. Large cows may
need 4 feet 10 inches or feet, while
small heifers require only 4-foot
stall. -
The foor should slope to the gut
ter from each side. The passage be-
hind the cows should be at least 8
feet wide to allow cows to pass with
out crowding. The floor should be
finished with a wooden trowel rather
than a steel one, as the latter makes
a smooth, slippery finish that when
wet is very difficult for the cows to
walk on safely.
If drains are to be laid to carry OF
the liquid manure or the water used
in washing the floors, they must be
put In before the floor is laid.
