CHAPTER XIV.
The Ballroom.

/ bC BAH WILL
In his own apartments that evening
| Michael the king had passed the time
| in somewhat preoccupied fashion. Left
alone, and hence unhappy in his coun-
| sells, he welcomed the announcement
| of the chamberlain who advised him
| of the presence of the Count Sachio Of
| Grahaffen, who wished to pay his COM
| pliments to the king.
Come then, my dear count said
| Michael to him. you are very well
come at this hour. You will have
glass of our own vintage have a
cask of Lucoyen which is quite worth
while"
with all my heart said Count
Sachio
The attendant removed the cork
from the bottle reverently, poured
slowly, gently, the amber fluid into
the tall glasses upon the table. 1t was
at that moment that King Michael be-
thought him of a certain message
handed to him but left until now I'M
opened. He frowned as he looked at
the word, irreverent when addressed
to royalty, and urging haste. "Im-
portant' Is it so? What shall I do,
my dear count? Throw it away"
Count Sachio cast glance upon the
inscription.
Your majesty" said he, ct is in
the hand of a lady. By no means
throw away any letter a woman
writes to you-and by no means write
one yourself. Am I not good coun-
sel?"
Smiling, King Michael broke open the
small hotel seal, frowning as he did SO
at what seemed to him undue familiar
ity on the part of someone, he knew
not who. But as his eyes ran over
the few lines of the message his ex-
preston suddenly changed. The words
remained deeply written on his mind.
Your majesty young Ameri-
can drink no wine"
Count Sachio looked on respectfully,
his glass arrested, naturally yenturing
no comment. King Michael made no
effort to turn the conversation. He |
left his wine untasted!

presently. But l pledge your maj

raised his glass and waited.
Drink heartily, good Count Sachio,"
said King Michael "As for myself, l
have dined but lately, as said. The
doctors say dreadful things to me.
You excuse me?"
He had poured but a small portion
in his own glass, and raised his hand
against more.
Sachio was obliged to admit to
Count Frederick, whom now he early
sought, that he doubted the full sue
cess of his errand.

Fredcrick-''he never fails to

CHAPTER XIII.
A Prisoner.

Having dispatched her messages
Kitty Gray sat alone once more in heI
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 it. AS to that which had
| been taken from her by force by Count
| Frederick, she was far as ever from
its possession.
"The simplest way is the best" said
she once more. I'll go back there
again"
81 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's
mind even as sudden flush came to
her cheek.

If you please, the apartments of mon
sieur the count"
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 unsuccess-
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. l tell you the woman
is outwitting you. She sent her half
the coin this very morning-sent it to
the king by special messenger. / saw

There is some plot afoot. And
brought the news as soon as possible,
but have searched for you long"
Come" said Frederick, and he
hastened 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 escape-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
The honor is mine, mademoiselle!"
said he with icy politeness. True, ! |

Shamefaced, confused, for once I'M

lock and the passing of footsteps in

She was a prisoner!

lied.
"Eh, very well, then it is time. At
the ball perhaps we shall all be pres

Kitty took this to be her dismissal,
and with deep thanks and the best
curtsy she could muster, bowed her
self from the room, after to be es-
corted by grave official to her car.
