CHAPTER K.
Greek Meets Greek.

Arrived at his own home, Count
Frederick of Gretzhoffen found little
pile of unopened letters waiting for
him, and picked up one bearing the
crest of Count Sachio of Grahoffen, a
man he had known for many years
and with whom, if truth be told, he
had had certain plans which neither
would have cared to have come into
public knowledge. He tore open the
envelope.
$50, Sachio asks me to join him at
a little hunting party at his lodge in
the forest beyond the neutral ground
believe I'll go. After all, it might
not be bad thing to find out little
more about the condition of those two
we left yonder in the desert. Yes, I'll
ride back the very way just came"
Mile after mile slipped ribbon-like
beneath their speeding wheels. Soon
they had left behind them almost all
sights of the green commons and the
fenced fields which lay under the
walls of Gretzhoffen town. 1t was
Grahame who first detected, far ahead,
a, little dust cloud Of advancing tray
elers. He called the attention of his
master.
Glasses, Grahame-fnd what 1t is. =
Even the sto!s1 Grahame gave

at her, his strong fingers tnrned the
key in the lock, removed it, thrust it
into his pocket.
"Mademoiselle," he said calmly,
you say you came on business. Very
well, let us talk business. We know
something Of the history Of certain
broken coin. Very good You have
half of it., We will say l have the
other. Give me your half the coin,
and I will let you go. Refuse, and I'll
never let you 60"
ct will do nothing under compulsion
from you or any other man." said Kitty
Gray stoutly. 81 offer you fair price
for your half of the coin" @
"You will not give it to me?"
mo! No."
A loud pounding on the door inter
rupted them at this moment. ''It is
Roleau," smiled the count. ST will
have him whipped"
The face of Kitty Gray had grown
like marble. Suddenly, with one swift
movement, she dashed her clenehed
hand with all her force into the face
which bent toward her. A livid mark
arose under the swift compact. The
tall man staggered back. The next
instant Kitty felt her wrist caught in
an iron grasp. Struggling, she was
forced backward. She felt another
hand grasp her wrist.
The man Grahame, the counts valet,
had appeared mysteriously from the
alcove adjoining.
"Give me the coin!" insisted Count
Frederick still. "Tell me where may
have it-or by the Lord! you will rest
a long time to think this matter over
''Excellency!" calculated the man
Grahame suddenly. con guard! He
is breaking in the door. Quick, excel
lency!"
And even as Roleau, by mighty
heave burst in the door, Grahame and
his master hurried Kitty to the rear
door of the alcove. 1t made out upon
a dimly lighted hall.
Roleau heard them pass, followed
swiftly as he could. But it was empty.
The purr Of a motor getting under
way reached his ears.
$50, then-we failed" said Roleau
bitterly.

CHAPTER VII.
In the Desert.

In the Desert.
Convinced against her will, as she
hurried along in the grasp of the two
powerful men, that compliance would
serve her purpose better than resist
ance, Kitty Gray took her place on the
seat of the motor car
"More and more I admire you,' said
the man at her side, as the motor
swung into it's speed. what a wom-
an you are! If you would but give
me time"
"You shall have all the time you
ask, Monsieur lie Comte!"
"Still, ponder as to your motive in
all this. 1t cannot be money"
Indeed it is money-in part"
"How much, mademoiselle?"
"a years salary have got much
at stake, on my word. Twelve hun
dred dollars, Monster lie Comte. 1t is
a fortune for me-
Count Frederick flung himself back
upon the cushions and laughed long
and loud. Twelve hundred dollars!"
said he. Twelve hundred dollars in
whole year, in an entire year? My
dear, give me the half coin you have
upon you, and / promise you shall
have twelve thousand dollars to spend
as you like each and every day of your
life, as long as you live. Come now,
is it a trade? You said you came to
talk business
For the first time now Kitty looked
about her, scarce having realized how
long their journey had been. So
great had been their speed that by
this time they had cleared the city
walls of Gretzhoffen and passed the
titled farmlands of the villages. 1t
was what was known locally as the
desert-a neutral ground, not titled
and incapable of successful tillage,
which lay between the two Kingdoms
of Gretzhoffen on the east and Grahof-
fen on the west.
Whether it was the heat of the sun
which had expanded the air in the mo-
tor tires, or whether there was some
sharp stone under the wheel, there
was no time to determine; yet sudden
ly, with the usual riflelike report,
there was an explosion of the tire.
The car was practically helpless.
Kitty looked about her vaguely,
fearfully, but as she bent from the
open window she heard in the dis
lance the chug of another motor, driv-
en- rapidly, thrown wide open and
coming forward at great speed.
Quick! Grahame," the count de-
manded. This is your work. She
has it on her person. You must-yes,
you must take it at once"
As he laid hand upon her, all the
hot Indignation Of Kitty's soul famed
up. She battled as best she might.
She defeated the man in his purpose
of snatching at the string which he
saw suspended about her neck. His
suspicious were well founded, for once
more Kitty had concealed her portion
of the coin In q little bag which she
carried thus. Baffled, and knowing
that he had small time to finish his
work, Grahame at length raised das-
tardly hand and struck the girl in the
