The Body Of tho Crime.

The BODY OF tho Crime.
It had been easy for Roleau, once
he was free of the immediate presence
Of the officers, to spring into the near

sight. While the officer, in charge OF
his more distinguished prisoners, waa

trance Of the Hotel Ritz, Roleau him
self was speeding thither almost as
quickly through devious passageways
which led to thelrear Of the hotel.
Attaining entrance at the rear, hs
sped up the back stairs. and found
himself once more at the apartments
Of Kitty Gray.
What he saw caused even his stont
nerves to quail for the time. On the
floor before him, with face half turned
and arms outfung. lay the victim Of
the last adventure connected with the
mysterious Gretzhoffen coin
Roleau did not know this man al
first, but he seemed not Of Gretzhof-
fen. Rather his garb b%etokened him
to come from the kindred kingdom of
Grahaffen.
Carefully, yet using that speed
which he knew was imperative, Ro-

"Who are you, them" demanded the
project of Count Sachio. :

Count Frederick gently enough.

grimly enough now as he noticed the

The official turned toward her
thoughfully; then to the captain OF
gendarmes. Have you searched all
these ~persons?" he inquired. The lat
ter shook his head.
80 you do not know what evidence
has been destroyed. Come, then, per-
form that duty now, see what you

Without hesitation Kitty presented
her handbag, drew out from it her lit
tie portemonnaie, even turned inside

Frederick watched her closely as she
did SO. He saw that none of the Off.
GERS discovered the piece Of coin. He
suspected, although he did not know,
that Kitty had palmed It under her
thumb as she spread out her hands,
asking them to certify themselves.
The gendarmes, their captain, the
project OF police, turned away non

faced the calm dignity Of the noble
man.
"Your excellency," said he at length,

and threw open his coat.
The project Of police turned to his
men. I'VE have not yet found all OF
