ployed into action in regimental front,
the leader cheering his men on into
the charge. They met the advancing
infantry of Grahoffen, many of them
with their rifles unloaded, depending
upon the bayonet-met them, and
rode them down. The line of assault,
unsuspecting this new resistance, re-
coiled and turned.
Kitty had pressed forward behind
the column which now pushed back
the advance of the enemy.
The plan of Count Frederick was
completed. But as to Count Freder-
lex, where was he? She found him
at last, surrounded by little group
of his men, who supported him as he
lay.
What do you here, mademoiselle?
said he. Retire at once. This is no
place for you"
"You are alive! You will recover!"
Kitty Gray was on her knees beside
him.
Frederick essayed to rise, but fell
back for a moment. "Give me a mo-
ment's time,' said he. 81 am not hurt.
The shell came close, but my horse
saved me, suppose. I am but slight
ly wounded. I think it was the shock
of the explosion. I was dazed for an
instant. Where are my men? Come,
let me up!"
your men are on ahead, Count
Frederick" replied Kitty Gray; 'too
far for you to catch them up now.
Come, you must rest. Come with
me-"
with you, mademoiselle? she
heard him say. He staggered to his
feet.
But now-and her woman's heart
admiring ever the strong and reso-
lutte, rejoiced to see it-Count Freder-
ick's gaze was turned not to her but
toward the front where the fighting
lay.
"My men," said he. Look at them
the royal reserves! Who brought
them on? We have won! They are
broken. The battle is ours, after ALL"

CHAPTER LII.
By Land and Sea.

BY Land and Sea.
In the confusion which followed the
retreat of the Grahoffen troops upon
their own capital, Roleau found HIM
self swept away from the officer who
first had taken him in charge.
Roleau, not unused to scenes of VIC
lence, had himself we'll in hand, and
now studied his situation calmly, find
ing it somewhat to- his own advantage.
He say that he now had better oppor-
tunity for escape than at any time
before.
Resolved at last, he slipped away be-
yond his guards, and made off through
the city, not to the westward toward
the plain which lay between the two
cities, but to the east where lay the
water front of Grahoffen.
The desert which lay between these
two little kingdoms ran far to the
southwark in a barren peninsula, on
either side of which swept the blue
sea. Each kingdom, therefore, might
be said to have a seaport as good as
the other, although that of Gretzhof-
fen lay closer to the Mediterranean
proper. Nevertheless, the Grahoffen
harbor was an ample one, and here
all the tiny navy Of the little kingdom
lay-beyond the aviation grounds
where the scanty corps Of that serv-
ice sometimes held their maneuvers.
AS may be seen, each of these little

CHAPTER LII.
Roleau, the Spy.


In all these rapid events Of the last
few hours Roleau had been left quite
to- his own resources. His mistress
had slipped away from him without
his knowledge. Count Frederick was
gone, he knew not where. He guessed
| rather than knew that each of them
might be seeking the other. That
meant, according to his reasoning,
that they must be at or near the royal
palace It was thither Roleau at
length turned his own footsteps.
Discovered at last through the notice
attracted by his lack of uniform, he
was halted by an officer, who brought
him forthwith to the commander of
the army, none less than Sachio, who
sat close to the king, watching the
progress of the battle.
General" said the officer to Sachio,
here is a man who was trying to
get through our lines. What shall we
do with him? We think perhaps he
is a spy
$50, fellow, you are here again?"
he said, grimly. II know you, yes,
we'll enough. We have met more than
once before now. I recall you at my
lodging, and elsewhere What do you
here? Where is she, your mistress,
the young Americana"
"Yonder somewhere, excellency,"
said Roleau, pointing toward the pal
ace.
''Take him away, lieutenant, and
keep him safe until call for him."
It was thus that Roleau remained
for a time unobserved, but was ult1-
mately caught in the general rout Of
King Cortislaw's armies. It was night
when finally the rout ended under the
walls of Grahoffen itself.
Cortislaw was an old man when he
had started out that day. Since morn
ing he had aged yet a dozen years.
Nothing was left to him! The end
of his life's dream was at hand.
Courses upon all things!" exclaimed
old Cortislaw, at last, sweeping level
glance under his bushy gray brOws at
his courtiers. "Once more they have
proved too much for us. It was my
one remaining chance"
None dared raise a voice against the
wrath of the broken king. After a
time, he went on:
what use, then, Count Sachio, was
their coin, after all? We had it, and
we lost"
Count Frederick told me, your ma
jesty," began Sachio, 'that what we
had was only a counterfeit He said
he gave it to the king of Gretzhoffen
in a bit of deceit for purposes of his
own. It read the same-that may be
sworn. It's errand should have been
the same. But as to our victory

that not for us, but against us. l say
the cursed coin is bewitched-it is in
the service of Gretzhoffen, not our
own. It is the evil spirit Of our own
kingdom, that will be sworn.
"But," said Count Sachio, after
time, "the end never is till all is done.
True, we have failed at arms, your
majesty, but after all, that does not
affect the existence of the Gretzhoffen

II know the very place where that
secret is concealed. Look, we have
all the co1n-and even If this half is
counterfeit, their half, the true half
though 1t be, is no more than half.
They cannot read the riddle of their
own treasure, and yet we know it!
VINO, then, has won this battle?
Riches are needful for any king. With
out the secret which we ourselves
hold, what may they hope? No. not

The old king turned upon him his
burning eye. Count Sachio," said
he, you have disappointed me time
and again regarding yonder coin; yet
after all, of all my nob1emen, you
have been the most successful, for
surely you brought to us the secret
That is true. At one time we had all
the coin. Long we have had half the
coin. Today we held it all in our pos
| session, and we still hold it. Bring
| me the coin. I want to examine both
| halves once more with my own eyes"
''It is well, your majesty. will go
get both halves, we will compare
them"
Count Sachio fastened to the room
where on his return from the battle
field he had changed his dusty apparel.
His tunic and trousers lay where he
had left them. Evidently his orderly
had fed.
Count Sachio took up the trousers
| and thrust hand into a pocket. He
knew where he had kept the coin, in
his little leather folding portemon-
maize. But he withdrew his hand and
| looked at it curiously. The blank look
on his face remained as he felt quick
| ly in other pockets Of the same gar
ment, as he searched nervously
through every pocket of the tunic
which he had discarded.

king he was in deep pallor; conster.

"Well, we'll, Sachio!" demanded that
monarch; testify, "You have on your
face now the same look which I have
learned to know. But surely you have
not failed. Come, let me see it,

was responsible for them, that is true.
But, see here where I hid them-ev-
erything is empty now. They have
been taken away by someone. And
who could have known of it,"
A silence fell upon the group.
"Stay!" added Sachio little later
there was a man, a prisoner, who
was brought to me just before our re-
treat began-the man named Roleau.'
| Find that mani" said Cortislaw,
coldly, returning a savage eye upon

in their own tempestuous retreat,
had been grouped under loose guard
in the rear compound of the Grahofen
palace. 1t was with them that Roleau
had been confined. Thither Count
Sachio now turned his steps. Hastily
he inquired of this officer and that, of
this prisoner and that.
