WdTOONcu.
The vessel when blown up was we'll
on her way with the favoring winds
which she sought, which in ordinary
course would have carried her out into
the Mediterranean.
How Count Frederick and Roleau
lived they scarcely knew. Happily the
water at that latitude was not cold,
and the day was one of calm.
"Roleau, she has perished!" MUIR
INJURED Count Frederick. "She is gone.
Let me. too, perish then, for l have
never been able to say that which
should have said. have had no op-
portunity to expiate many things
which have done"
"As we'll die now as any time" said
Roleau.
Wind and wave carried these two
far-they knew not how far, and had
no means of guessing, for they could
not tell how long a time had passed
since the explosion which had sunk
the ship. They knew not which way
to look for land, if land there might
be. 1t was by mere chance that at
one moment, as they flung high on the
crest of the wave, Count Frederick
saw, many hours after the wrecking
of the ship. something which caused
him to give an exclamation Of surprise.
'Roleau," he exclaimed. "There is
land ahead, believed"
Look" said Count Frederick at
length. They are coming out to u.s."
Surely enough, even from where
they were they could see dark forms
running here and there, could see the
launching of boat, could see it COM
ing on, rising and falling on the waves.
At length the craft came alongside,
manned by strange, swarthy natives,
whose speech they did not know, yet
who seemed friendly enough withal
to serve as rescuers for them. With
small ceremony they were hauled on
board, and the boat, turning, made
way back again to the shore ahead.
TITS an island, Roleau," said Fred
erick, after a moment spent in exam
nation. mot 80 large, but excellent

people seem not unfriendly to US"
For time they had been left alone.
but now they saw certain of the ma
tives returning with food and water.
Upon these both the shipwrecked ad-
venturers fell with eagerness. Their
captors stood about and grinned In
pleasure. All the wealth of Count
Frederick, his gold, his castles, his
lands-these things seemed little in
value as compared to what these
swarthy natives brought him now.

CHAPTER LXi.
The Discovery.

The two kingdoms now hung on the
themselves forlorn and hopeless. Even
as Grahoffen's king and it's leading
man of affairs pondered the absence
of these two, so likewise the kingdom
of Gretzhoffen was concerned in their
absence in their welfare. in their flu
ture, in their return.
Count Frederick stood on the deck
of the Prinz Adler liner and fronted
the captain Of that vessel. who was
severe in his resentment of the lib
critics he deemed to have been taken
with himself and his ship.
81 tell you" said he, 81 have moth
ing to do with your little war here.

to you if we blow your ship out of
the water?"

to take them Off.
"And tell you again that there are
no such passengers on my ship. The
ships lists show all who have sailed
with us. You may look for yourself
examine our books all you like. Do
you take us for pirates-are we be-
yond all responsibilities?
81 do not call you pirates" said
Count Frederick. calmly. II only call
you dupes. | believe you have been
| deceived. You are not in possession
of all the facts. My own men have
told me that these persons were to
be struggled aboard the ship"
'Heiliger Gott!" unused the captain.
What is this that has been under
taken here? / never discovered 1t.
| Who and what are these persons-if
there be indeed any such aboard?"
Two, as / said. One is a man of
small rank. no more than a faithful
servant, powerful and resourceful
himself, once loyal in my own serv,
ice, now loyal in that of his mistress.
| And she-the other?"

But If he knows nothing whatever
Of that scrap of paper-if he never
heard of it"
''All the more he will be willing to
part with 1t If we ourselves can find
it. AS to that, we do not know. This
is but a drag-net sort of move on our
part, but it may take some fish-who
knows?"
Good! Then what is our next
move, as you perceive it,"
"Why, let us make a cautious move
to feel out their point-as a fencer
tests his adversary's wrist, to feel his
strength at the hilt. Let us send a
note of friendship to Michael and ask
him IL it be not better that these two
little kingdoms, separated by so mar
row a stretch of land, should not
henceforth meet in harmony, and
no longer join in armed encounters.
Let us point out to him that there are
other nations greater than either of
us-or both Of us-which perhaps
some time may look our way. Let US
tween these two kingdoms. Let us
play upon his fears, his vanity, his
weakness, until we have convinced
him that friendship with US is thing
desirable for him. Let us ask good
Michael II he is not graciously dis
posed to be our friend today-to be
our magnanimous and powerful
friend!"
Sachio grinned broadly at his own
irony, and his monarch gave vent to
at the thought of his courtier's cum
ming as we'll as his loyalty to his own
king.
Excellent! Sachio, excellent" he
exclaimed. Nor do | doubt the sue
cess of this thing as you plan it, If
you yourself shall carry it forward.
Do you then write that humble mis-
sive that you suggest-do you your
self ask Michael to be graciously gen.
erous to a weak and pleading friend!
Hal hal Sachio. what next lies on
the board for us?'
why, then, your majesty, we are
alongside the fence that lies between
us. We do not know how far it may
be until we come to gate or gap,
but sometimes there will be gate or
gap, through which we may pass.
In some way | doubt not | and others
may perhaps gain access to the palace
of Gretzhoffen. That gives us our
footing. AS for them, they sleep and
revel. AS for US, we act. 1t is the
man of action who succeeds. Let
them dream-we will act
"Your counsels jump with my own,
my dear Sachio," said Cortislaw. Il
have small use for the man who
dreams or the man who waits. 1t
shall be as you say A test of this at
least cannot harm us, and may prove
OF extreme value. Go forward with it
then, as you have said"

Count Frederick paused in thought
at this. "True-that is true" said he.
Very well, we will search your ship.

After a time the officer returned,

He himself led the way to the lift

hatchway which covered the ladders

They found themselves at last deep
in the bowels of the vessel, among
the bales and casks of the cargo,
where for time all was darkness and
mystery. But as they hurried here
and there. commanding the guidance
of the two recreant seamen and cast
ing the rays of their lights hither and
yon, at last they saw trussed-up
bundle behind bale of goods which
seemed to have some human sem
blance. 1t was Roleau. Frederick
himself was first at his side. He bent
over him, freed him, and after a time
revived him.

they were not now as they had been
then. Both bore marks of conflict,
and of conflict which had not gone al
together to their favor.
How, now, you dogs?" cried the
captain. What's wrong with you?
Have you been fighting among your
selves?"
One, quicker witted than the other,
gave his assent to this at once. The
second was not so fortunate.
Twas the animals" said he, with
cunning not quite equal to the issue.
What? You disagree, them" said
the captain. What does this mean,
fellows? Animals? What animals :?
Lions?-tigers?- did not know we

The sailor hung his head, and the
captains suspicious grew.
You are covering up something
here. Speak. you rufflans, and speak
the truth"
Captain" began the man once
more, I'VE are innocent. But we found
two stowaways below, and thinking to
bring them up, they fell upon us and
beat us-a man and a woman"
How did they get aboard-where
are they then-who are they?"
They must have come in with the
freight by the lift from the dock, cap

The speaker paled suddenly. They
are there in the hold" he said.
Lead US to them then"
They turned to find their way to the
lower portions of the ship, but even as
they did so they met an interruption.
An agitated man, grimy and dirty, in
oil-stained clothing, came running to-
wards the captains room-none less
than the chief engineer of the vessel,

commoner duties than naturally be-

found that which he sought.
She tried feebly to raise herself as
she heard footsteps, heard voice she
knew to be that of her friend.
Observation-Disclosures God!' was all
Count Frederick could say.
1T is you, them" was her reply.
What has happened? Why are you
here?"

wish. Come then, let us hasten. There

They all crowded now to the lad
ders up from the hold. and, rapidly as
they might, found their way back to
the upper deck. There came confu-
sion, noise, trampling, shouts. sounds
not ordinary at this stage of the voy-
age of vessel putting out to sea. The
passengers themselves suspected
something to be wrong. They crowd
ed now about the captain excitedly, ex-
postulating. The master OF the ship
pushed them aside.

binding white steam rolled from the

within its way. Cries of anguish came
from below decks, cries of despair. To
these we're added now the far more

numerous cries OF those in mortal ter
ror.
Obedient TO their orders for time,
the crew held to their posts. The boats
were lowered one after another. Yet
into each there piled a senseless mass
of packed humanity, overcrowding and
rendering it useless as il reached the
surface of the sea.
Children and women and strong men
fought now for a place in the last OF
the boats. Discipline broke and failed.
What had been happy party of trav-
elers was now a disorganized mob.
His arms supporting Kitty on one
side, those of Roleau on the other,
Count Frederick did his best to reach
the rail. Useless, hopeless! They were
forced back time and again.
Jump" cried Frederick at last.
Jump! We will swim for it. We
| must take the last chance"
The look on the face Of the girl at
his side was one in part of despair,
but more of trust. Unhesitatingly the
The sea closed over them. They rose
after an agonized instant which
seemed death itself-rose but to see

tremble, and slowly slide back and

but little human units floating as best
they might among scores and hun
dreds of others.

and Roleau aided Kitty to a floating
piece OF wreckage. But others saw 1t
also. Time and again they were
fought back from it as others strong
er or more remorseiess claimed 1t as
their own.
In all This commotion of shouting
and struggling men, of wailing wom-
en-, of failing arms and beating fists,
Frederick and Roleau lost sight Of
Kitty at last-she had gone, they knew
not where, in that chaos Of the sea.
Where is she?" demanded Fred
erick weakly, himself well-nigh opent
Which way?"
Il know not" gasped Roleau, him
self in as bad case as the other. Il
cannot tell, but fear that she is gone"
They swan about for a time in
search, but could not make out the
whereabout of her whom they sought;
then they hoisted themselves one on
each side of floating spar and rested.
ALLOW me, excellency," said Roleau,
and flung across the end OF his belt
Let us lash fast. l cannot hold much
longer"
Spent and hopeless, they rested as
they might and allowed fate to have
it's way with them.
Our boat-the yacht, excellency"
exclaimed Roleau at length Where
is she-the vessel which brought you
out?"
Frederick could only shake his head.
Gone" said he. 81 doubt not she was
scuttled by the heavy ironwork blown
out by the explosion. There is no
hope"

Far in the distance she had caught
sight of the shore of distant land
the same sight which in turn had met
the gaze Of that friend whom now she
mourned. 1t lay there low on the sea
she knew not what.
She looked at it DULY, alphabetically
In truth, she was too far gone to care.
Whether or not she retained con-
seriousness through the remainder of
her voyage, she herself could never
tell.
At length, a weak and unimportant
bit of fiotsam Of the sea, Kitty Gray
was cast up upon the shore, rejected
by that sea but now 80 eager to claim
her as its own. Yes, by some miracle.
she dared not ask what, she had been
spared. This at least was land. IL
death must come, 1t was not now to
be death through peril OF the sea.
YEARLY she lifted herself from her
bed upon the sand, raised herself upon
an elbow to look about her.
What she saw gave her no great de-
light. Rather. had she he'd strength
left for terror, she had known addition
al terror now.
Approaching from a distance were
certain figures, inhabitants OF this
land, whose look she could not recog-
nize, whose language she could not
understand. They approached, shout
ing, gesticuiating. They were armed.
and they advanced upon her DsnAo
