CHAPTER LxI. .
The Discovery.

The two kingdoms now hung on the
fate of two refugees, two castaways.
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 fu-
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.
ct tell you," said he, Il have moth
ing to do with your little war here.
I am neutral-I am carrier in the
open trade of the open sea. My gov
eminent will demand reparation for
this insult to our flag"
"Sir," said Count Frederick, "your
government be damned! l will take
my chances with your government.
OF what use will your government be
to you if we blow your ship out Of
the water?'
You threaten me, Cnen
"No, do not deal in threats. I
tell you that know the persons whom
mentioned are on this ship. I mean
to take them off,
"And I 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?
ct do not call you pirates" said
Count Frederick, calmly. Il only call
YOU dupes. I believe you have been
deceived. You are net in possession
of all the facts. My own men have
gold me that these persons were TO
be smuggled aboard the ship
"Heiliger Gott!" unused the captain.
s'What is this that has been under
taken here? I never discovered it.
Who and what are these persons-lf
there be indeed any such aboard?'
1.-TWO, as I said. One is a man OF
small rank, no more than a faithful
servant, powerful and resourceful
himself, once loyal in my own sery-
ice. now loyal in that of his mistress.
"And she-the other?

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. whats 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 ?-I did not know we
carried such!"
The sailor hung his head, and the
captains suspicious grew.
"You are covering up something
here. Speak, you rufians, 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
tain. The young woman-she is beau
tiful-and as you say, she is like a
tiger AS to the man, yes, he was like
a lion. They fought us, you see."
where are they now, spitzbuben,
ruffians?"
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,
who obviously had been engaged IN
commoner duties than naturally be-
iOnged to him.

Obedient to their orders for time
the crew held to their posts The boats
we're lowered one after another. Yet
into each there piled senseless mass
of packed humanity, overcfowding and
rendering it useless as it 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 a happy party of trav-
elers was now disorganized mob.

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. Unhesitatirgly the
three sprang together.
The sea closed over them. They rose
after an agonized instant which
seemed death itself-rose but to see
the giant ship which had carried them
raise her bows aloft, SILVER and
tremble, and slowly slide back and
down beneath the waves. In the whirl-
pool which marked the spot they were
but little human units, floating as best
they might among scores and hun
dreds of others.
This way!" cried Frederick, and he
and Roleau aided Kitty to a floating
piece Of wreckage. But others saw it
also. Time and again they were
fought back from it as others strong
er or more remorseless claimed it as
their own.
In all this commotion of shouting
and struggling men, of wailing WON
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 spent.
(Which way?"
II know not" gasped Roleau, him
0~AA
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

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. st doubt not she was
scuttled by the heavy ironwork blown
out by the explosion. There is no
hope"

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 it If we ourselves can find
| 1t. AS to that, we do not know. This
Is but drag-net sort of move on our
part, but it may take some fsh-who
knows?"
Coed! Then what is our next
move, as you perceive it?"
"Why, let us make 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 if 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
show him the virtue Of an alliance be-
tween these two kingdoms. Let us
play upon his fears, his vanity, his
weakness, until we have convinced
him that friendship with us is a thing
desirable for him. Let us ask good
Michael if 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
a loud laugh, his gray beard curling
at the thought of his courtier's cum
ming as well as his loyalty to his own
king.
Excellent! Sachio, excellent" he
exclaimed. "Nor do I 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!
Ha! ha! Sachio, what next lies on
the board for us?"
"Why, then, your majesty, we are
alongside the fence that lies between

Yes, a young American of youth
and much beauty. She was in this
country on business of her own. With.
out plan she became involved in af-
fairs between these two monarchs.
She has been the victim of evil for
tune, not through fault of her own.
Now, am telling you the truth-since

ence with you. You may rely upon
what have said, captain. This is the
truth, SO far as know it."
Then why not let them sail for
their own country-if she has been in.
jured here why not let her go back to
her own country? I am booked for
New York. If that be city of her
native land. why not that port as well
as any other? And how shall know
your own motives?"
Count Frederick paused in thought
at this. "True-that is true" said he

When we find the young woman let
her decide what she wishes to do. II
she says she wishes to go back to her
home, will not prevent it. But if
she be asked to go back against her
will, then I shall take her with me,
no matter at what cost. At least she
should have the choice of decision

Yes, WHY Not2

me Huntington Herald-Dispatch,
which claims to be more or less of a
Republican newspaper, wants to know
why the Democrats do not attack the
Republican platform-the Republican
State platform.
AS we understand the little game
or politics, candidate Is expected to
stand upon the platform OF his party.
We have had the notion ever since
Compromise Ira" accepted the nomi-
nation which was thrust upon him by
the Hatfield machine, despite the pro-
test OF the people, that he would en-
deavor to stand on the State Repub-
lican platform.
Unless we are mistaken, we have
said several things anent Mr.. Robinson
since the time he took the bought and
paid for" nomination. And what we
have said against Robinson was like
wise an attack on the State platform.
which we thought Mr. Robinson rep
resented
But since The Herald Dispatch wants
an out-and-out attack on the Republi-
can platform. we are willing TO grant
the request.
Somewhere In that mass OF words
which is supposed to be the Repub-
iican State platform we find a COM
plete endorsement Of Hatfield and Hat.
fieldism.
That is enough.
Any platform which endorses Hat
field and Hatfieldism has no standing
with the thinking voter OF West Vir.
ginia.
How any State Republican conven-
ton could have the nerve, in light OF
all that took place at the primary
election, to endorse Hatfleldism, In
/ beyond the scope OF our imagination.
But the State convention held at HUM.
lngton was not a Republican conven-
/ ZION 1t was simply a Hatfield gath.
/ ering, the delegates being hand-picked
Hatheld men; and thus the endorse
ment OF Hatheldism was but a logical
| outcome after all.
The Republican State platform
stands for continuance of Hatfield.
