CHAPTER XIV.
The Chamber of Horrors.


 Arrived presently in the royal pal ace and in the company not only of Count Frederick, but of yet other no blemen and officials, King Michael re- faxed his martial front under the warming influence of the wine on which he so much relied.
 They fed" he exclaimed again and again. boastingly, as he referred to the scenes which but now he had left. They fled before us like sheep, my dear count. With myself to lead the army-and you at my side-what chance would they have? They knew they had none, and took counsel of their wisdom for once. If they re- main in that counsel. surely they will stay behind their own walls. and not give offense to our country. We would annihilate them. A half hour more, and we would have plundered their city today. Their treasure would have been ours!"
 quired Count Frederick coldly. Would we go to war for that?'
 For what else9" smiled the king
 For liberty, justice, freedom, your majesty"
 Tut! tut, where do you ge. those terms? A monk speaks! But listen did we not march to your rescue?"
 Yes, your majesty, am not un mindful and not unthankful. But still we lack the clue which alone can make war possible or desirable-the clue which alone has back of it motives worthy of king and of people,
 Well, well. what does all this mean then?" rejoined Michael, irritated Where do we arrive? What is it that you ask?"
 T can ask no questions and answer none. until We have found once more the young American, your majesty"
 King Michael smiled in self-satisfac ton at last.
 "Ah. well, that is easy" said he. T have said that she is. or should be here in this palace. It Is true she brought me the news of your plight.
 Count Frederick waited for nc change in the royal will. but bowed

 They knocked. knocked again, and yet again-but got no answer. The woman at length opened the door with her own key. Her sudden exclama- tion convinced Count Frederick that the room was empty.
 She is up to her tricks" exclaimed he to himself. Now l wonder"
 He did not pause to ask much of the waiting woman, but hurried away down the hall. intent on certain plans of his own.
 He must find her. must see her at once. He had no real idea as to which course Kitty had taken after leaving the room. but alone after a time. he walked more slowly. he could not say why. Something came to his senses, as first not recognized--a faint scent-a perfume which it seemed to him he had known before-the per fume of violets, faint, indefinite, fra grant.
 He found himself at length in a mar row hallway from which there were no side passages. It led him deeper back into the palace, its trend continually downward. Thus finally he found him. self in the self-same subterranean tun- nel which Kitty earlier had discovered.
 "She was searching for the torture chamber" said he to himself, with sudden conviction. That is why she came here!"
 He came at length to the great door which closed the passageway. Yes, in the dust before him were footprints, and in the dust on the 1oor itself were finger prints! The silence and secre- cy of ages had been broken within the hour.
 He pushed open the door-pushed 1t until it met some obstruction-some- thing which lay vaguely white upon the floor He turned downward the flare of his Mght-started back from what he saw.

In the Name of the Law.


 AS for Roleau, now object of solici- tude on the part of a nobleman and even king, he was experiencing fur ther adventures of his own. AS soon as he had made his escape from the field where the three had so nearly met disaster, he made such speed as he could after Kitty, who, as he knew very we'll. would hasten as fast as might be to find some hiding for her self and the coin.
 But where was she now9 That he could not guess. for he had no means of learning that Kitty had been left in the palace of the king. Rather, he supposed that she would be at the ho- tel which she had made her residence. He bent his own steps thither as rap idly as might be.
 He met only coldness at the office at that stately caravansary. the Ritz. where both he and his mistress, save for the intercession of the king. before this would have been set out in the streets bag and baggage.
 'Mademoiselle. the young American excellency?" he asked of the clerk at the desk. "She Is at home today?"

CHAPTER xllii.
The sinews of War.

Tho Sinews of War.
 It was touch and go between the two little kingdoms for time. Their troops had faced each other in the open field. Blood had been shed. Generals had looked other generals in the eye at no great distance. At the lines of contact the imperial ruleB of the two countries had been within earshot one of the other.
 Yet they parted now. Why? The trumpets sounded the recall, even as the leaders were awaiting the sum- mons for the charge. Why? At least one ruler had been eager for the as- sault. yet did not advance his troops. Why? The other. vacillating as ever of soul. none the less had been upon the battle front itself. whether or not his courage had been more than temporary. He now retired. Why?
 The answer to all these questions lay in the hands of the young Amer ican girl. Sundered. the two halves of the divided Gretzhoffen coin still pleaded for reunion. One lay in the grasp of another. Had either king. dom on this day owned them both, war would have ensued.
 Cortislaw of Grahoffen. old as he was. none the less was in respect of martial nature far in advance of the weak ruler of Gretzhoffen. Michael had come to the rescue not so much to save Count Frederick from danger as to save Count Frederick for him. self. He needed Frederick's courage. Not 60 Cortislaw, who retired to his own city fuming and full of ire. Evil was that hour for the courtiers of Grahoffen, and worst of all for the un- fortunate Sachio. who had promised so much for his sovereign and him. self. and who had come 50 far short of the measure of his promises.
 Believe me. my good friend Sachio." exclaimed Cortislaw. when at length that crestfallen individual was brought before him. Your failure to bring me the missing half of the coin has well-night cost me my dignity and you your life. I will not longer suffer such disappomtments at your hands"
 "Your majesty" began Sachio. but tho other raised a hand.
 We arc at the brink of war now at any moment war may pc forced on us, whether we like it or not. did not think Michael would march. but he has shown that under certain circumstances he not only can but will. If we delay we lose all the ad- vantages of the initiative. None can tell what wonder Count Frederick will do, for at least he does not lack cour- age. And now he will be eager for revenge against us for the danger in which we have placed him."
 Tt was danger shared by all those who engaged in the struggle for the coin." said Sachio. We had 1t

in our own hands. We brought it to the very edge of our throne: it was in our country when they took it once more"
 Yes, and those persons were per sons that had no more at stake than you have. Count Sachio." broke in Cortislaw. with the cold wrath his officers knew so we'll. Have they more reason for success than you7 Are they of greater wit than yourself? By the Lord! if those things be so. 'tis time we had better wits about us than such as yours"
 Sachio hung his head. but found no speech kn answer and the king went '1' aL,.tsl now.~
 He bee oned about him other off, cers of E court. and held out be- fore him D his palm the half coin which ha1 come into his possession. "ese wAA1 ais says-it talks Of treas

ure--treasure! We know that the Gretzhoffen treasure is enormous-we know that it is concealed in the tor ture chamber, whatever or wherever that may be. Beyond that we know no more. It is the other half of the coin alone that can tell us what we covet now. This half but whets our anger until we have the mate for it.
 Now, my noblemen, you who pre- tend to serve me and this people. once more I warn you-yonder half coin, or your resignations-or your heads"
 His officials left him, all in state bordering upon consternation, for they knew that this king was not one soon forgetful of his hatred or his revenge. They laid their heads to- gether, Sachio desperately anxious now, and tried their best to formu- late some plan. All they could con- clude was that the coin had found it's way back to Gretzhoffen once more in the possession of the persons who so stoutly had defended it.
 Meantime these were far away as time had allowed them. The walls of Gretzhoffen sheltered now both Kitty Gray and Roleau. Close behind these rode King Michael at the head of his troops, at his side the man whose danger had called him forth none less than Count Frederick him. self.
 My dear count" exclaimed Michael in his own very pretty opinion of his prowess, 'all Is we'll that ends well. Did you not note the speed with which we came to rescue you? Was 1t not all magnificent"
 "Yes." replied the count. "The wit of wonder girl-her courage-they were indeed magnificent" Her wit? Her courage?"
 Pardon. your majesty. but was 1t not those things which brought you to our rescue? How else could you have known of our stress? It was she who carried the news-she. doubt not, who also carries the coin."
 The coin? What coin? Why do you speak of it?" demanded Michael in certain surprise. We have that half coin in our own possession-or at least have supposed so-surely did have it but the other day. You have one half, have you not, and l the other? If either half be missing, at least do not know where it is" ir s,x !, ute in every likelihood" exclaimed Count Frederick, careless of any consequences that might arise if his counterfeiting were discovered. We had half, that equally is sure, in our hands in the mountain fight. The young woman and myself gave it in | keeping of her servant, the man Ro- leau-a stout fellow and a desperate fighter. as more than one of wonder army might attest"
 And where is he now?"
 That is what cannot say" re- joined the count. At the time the danger of conflict ended I turned to find him, and he was gone. as you know We agreed that those two. Roleau and his mistress. would meet as soon as possible. My own fear is that the young woman will take ship at any time and sail for home. With her goes the secret. for very likely Roleau would 50 with her" T do not share your fears. my dear count" he said.

EDDIE COLLINS SHAKES SLUMP
WITH THREE HITS
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields
Eddie Collins won a ball game for
the White Sox yesterday with his bat,
something that has not occurred for
many long afternoons. The total Of
the Columbia boys batting strength
was a single, double and triple, and
the shortest and longest hit each
came in a rally during which the SOx
counted three runs.
1t was the Collins of the past free
ing himself from a batting slump
that is the longest Eddie or any other
recognized star has suffered for many
moons. Eddie is a ball player, a star.
Even when he was not hitting, when
his average was a hundred points be-
low his normal notch, he has looked
like the real thing, for his defensive
work has been excellent, and he has
been full Of pepper and enthusiasm
all the time.
The shaking of this historic slump
was the cause of a jOllificatiOn on
the SOx bench. In the eighth, with
the score tied and Weaver on first,
Ed smashed a triple to center field,
and later scored. When he reached
the dug out the athletes crowded
around him, slapped him on the
back, and Buck actually picked Ed
up in his arms and carried him up
and down the boards.
With Collins hitting, the array of
the Sox is much altered.
Lefty Williams, the young Sox
southpaw, should have gone through
the full game against Boston, and
been effective all the way. He was
scored on in the second inning be-
cause Jackson fell down and let an
easy single go for a home run. But
the thing that really upset Williams
occurred in the fifth inning, when
Manager Rowland let the ladies' day
crowd manage his ball club.
