Kitty.
They turned once more to seek the
guard. Once more he led them for
ward This time they all took con-
cealment back of door which Bartel
must pass as he left the train.
Nervous, eager to be off the train
and into safety as soon as might be,
Bartel was early in hurrying his lug
gage to the door, and himself followed
it even before the train was coming
to it's stop at Grahcffen town. He
passed by the place of concealment of
the three ccnspirators, and hearing
some slight sound turned to see the
face of Count Frederick staring
straight at him-to feel at the same
time the iron arm of Roleau cast about
his neck. The sinewy fingers of Count
Frederick supplemented the assault Of
his man, and between these two Barte1
was helpless. He felt q hand rifling
his pockets, but as for himself could
make no outcry. Just as the train
slowed up at the entrance into the
yards, they flung him to the floor,
where he lay limp.
Il have it, cried Count Frederick,
and held up the GTetzhoffen half ccin
before Kitty's eyes. He placed it then
in his own pocket.
why not give it to Roleau as an
impartial third party?" asked Kitty
demurely.
Count Frederick caught the chal-
1enge and responded to it.
Very well,' said he. "Roleau him
self shall be the lord high keeper of
the coin until further orders But look
yonder."
As he handed Roleau the coin, he
nodded now to the window, behind
which could be seen the ranked sol
diery of Grahoffen, filling the space of
the station platform. Apparently they
had been summoned to receive the
agent of the king
They passed back swiftly to the rear
of the train, and as it came to stop
ali three of them dropped eff on the
farther side. While the officials and
the soldiery we're searching the train
the fugitives were making their way
off to the mountain side where there
seemed at least some SLIGHT chance
of escape from discovery.

Where then was the key, if there was
one?
With no special plan, she cast her
light here and there along the wall.
She found at last, near to the jamb of
the heavy door, an iron prong project
ing from the wall, on it a vast and
rusty bit of iron-the key.
With all her strength she twisted

CHAPTER XII.
The Escape.


The grind Of the wheels under the
brakes had hardly ceased when a high
official of the court of GrahOffen
sprang aboard the train, looking this
way and that expectantly. peering
through the windows and doors of
coach after coach. But he did not find
the man he sought. Hurrying through
the last car Of the train, at last he
half-stumbled over the limp form of
leau's arm had flung him. neck and
crop.
Quick here!" he called out. Here's
murder-but by whom? Where have
they got to? After them, men!"
But now some sort Of answer to their
questioning came in a shout from the
station platform. Someone was. point
ing beyond the train up the mountain
side. The official sprang forward
after them, men! They must have
done this" cried he. "They have what
we SEEK
A band of mounted men an instant
later rode out of the station in full
pursuit of the fugitives. They raced
down the road, toward a bridge which
spanned the stream ahead
Look yonder, excellency!" ex-
claimed Roleau at length, as he turned
and faced down the slope to gaze at
these pursuers. 'They will cut US Off
on ahead. Look-they are riding for
the bridge"
He looked this way and that, as the
three paused uncertain. At last his
eyes fell upon vast bowlder that lay
near by the edge of the ridge upon
which they stood. He cast a swift
glance below, lining up the course of
the bowlder straight down to the
bridge below. Bracing himself, he
threw his shoulders against the bowl

prodlgious strength.

The winning score was easily made
