He touched his hat now and led the
way to the boatside where ready hands
offered water to the two famished

Not displeased at this, he greeted
the two newcomers at the ships lad

This is Miss Kitty Gray" said
Count Frederick, casting keen eye
upon his host and taking some reckon
ing OF his evident late conviviality.
"She is American. AS for me, am
a citizen of the kingdom of Gretz-
hoffen."
Mr.. Arthur Wyndham gathered no
great sense of the speakers impor-

Frederick flung away from him,
bruised and bleeding, the men who
had undertaken to imprison him A
swift plan had come into his own
mind. He heard the crackle of a wire
less mast OIL the upper deck An in
slant later he had sprung up the last
stair and closed behind him the door
of the operators room.
At the key there sat youth, the re-
ceivers OF the equipment strapped to
his ears The crackle and roar Of the
wireless equipment. and the shoppers
on his ears, left the operator unable
to understand what was said to him;
but he comprehended very quickly the
language of the pistol muzzle which
was showed against his side-a pistol
which he did not know was empty. but
which he was quite convinced was
wholly unlovely in its look
Count Frederick bent above him
and scribbled few words on a bit OF
paper at the desk, his pistol against
the operators ribs.
Send this,'' said he. IF you cut
in on anything else I'll kill you!"
The operatCr looked down at the
message.

The operator looked up at Frederick
curiously. Who are your said he.
We're not sinking. l don't know

"fll sink you II you wink" said
Count Frederick grinly. "Sendl Do
you hear me-sendi''
Mechanically the fingers of the op-
orator began to tap the keys. Out
into the air from the antennae OF the
mast sprung the call: IS. o. s.. Gretz-
hoffen j. Adelina Bred-
erick
And even as this signal, this cry for
help went out into the night, there
came another cry from the lips of the
helpless girl covering in the corner
of the room below. Frederick, Fred

ever they might be, alike with these
past disturbances and these new ter
rors. Whereupon with savage shouts
they once more fell upon the unfor-
tunates and made them prisoners
again.
To the left. across bare ledge of
rock which showed no trace OF IT,,
there led path whoge presence Fred
erick had not suspected. It was down
this new passageway that the natives
now led Kitty and Count Frederick.
They passed down a steep declivity
covered with trees and at length found
their way to the lower beach. where
after a time they were Joined by 9TH
ers who cautiously had emerged from
their hiding places. 1t plainly was the
purpose of all these now to complete
the sacrifice which had been arrested
by the escape of the victim few days
ago. They inflicted preliminary In
dignities upon them. at least. whether
with the intention of hurrying them
to the sacrifcial fire, or of obliging
them to interpose between the natives
and these new invaders-who, as now
all could see. also were white people
and hence to be dreaded.
Much OF these operations was cas-
lily visible from the yachts deck. Ap-
parently there were some commands
from the man who stood at the bow,
binoculars in hand. Overheard vent
a pair of boats manned by stout oars
men who swept them quickly toward
the shore.
The man with the binoculars saw
two figures ON the beach. easily dis
tinguishable from the savage ones
around them. One was a man. and
the other boy, at first he thought.
White" he muttered to himself.
Refugees-castaways OF some sort on
this coast. How did they get here,
l wonder? But by Jove, my fellows
are giving the natives all they want,
I'm thinking"
Such. indeed, was the case The
sailor men plunged through the surf
as their keels touched bottom and
came on at run, rifles in hand and
firing as they came. with the effect
that half dozen of the savages fell.

CHAPTER Lxxi.
The Rescue.

Those whose disappearance had
made such havoc in the plans of
principality now likewise were upon
the point of certain changes in their
own plans--and counted that any
change must be for the better
''Looki" said Kitty as they stood
at the crest of the cliff gazing out over
tho white-topped waves toward the
nodding sails of the rapidly-advancing
craft. "A two-master, under heavy
sail. Auxiliary. no doubt. What can
she he?"
ut is what l also would ask said
Count Frederick at her side studying
the craft as intently. Whatever it
be. 1t is our only hope. See, she
seems to have the look of yacht.
Watch her bows as they rise and see
how her spars rake back. A yacht
but whose. and what nationality"
There comes their flag" said Kitty,
British! Well, wish 1t were the
flag of my own country, but better
that than none"
"Wo shall be safe enough under the
Union Jack" said Frederick. 81 count
on good treatment when they find out
who we are"
She turned to him with a curious
look upon her face.
Say rather when they find out who
you are. Count Frederick" said she.
You are a nobleman, / am an un-
known American girl, cast away with
out friend on earth"
He smiled at her as though amused.
"An American girl who has had
place in the plans of two Kingdoms.
Perhaps you may not always remain
so unknown. If 1t comes to that"
"Look!" Once more was her reply
as she pointed to the boat.
A puff of smoke came from the bow
OF the yacht. followed presently by
the dull boom of the small cannon
mounted there.
"They see our signal" said Count
Frederick. Yes, she'll round to and
send in a boat, no doubt" And in
deed such proved to be the plans of
the little vessel.
There were other results of the can
non shot which might not have been
suspected. The natives, scattered
here and there along the beach, in the
forest, or in their village, were seized
with sudden terror of what they i'm
agined to be new enemy. AS fast
as they could they scuttled for shell
ter in the woods or in the caverns
that lay below the hills, the greater
number finding refuge in the latter
hiding places. OF these, some made
their way in their terror quite through
the series of caverns until at length
they emerged at the crest of the cliff
by way of the passage which had
brought Frederick and Kitty there at
an earlier time.
These found the summit of the rock
already occupied. The two strangers
who had caused all tho turmoil in the
village stood at the summit looking
out at the sea, and waving signals to
tho incoming vessel. For an instant
the natives stood irresolute. but 1t was
not for long. They identified these
two white strangers. whoever or what
