Of learning that Kitty had been left
in the palace OF the king. Rather, he
supposed that she would be at the ho-

He might perhaps have engaged In

He turned to face q sergeant Of

They knocked. knocked again. and

woman at length opened the door with
her own key. Her sudden exclama-

the room was empty.
"She Is up to her tricks" exclaimed

He did not pause to ask much Of the
