By Process of Elimination.

BY Process of Elimination.
The weapon of the renegade leader
Blake was aimed steadily enough. But
the fraction of time in which Roleau
changed the position he had taken
saved the life Of one man and cost
that of another.
1t was the fellow thief, Blake's COM
Tade, fresh from the rendezvous, who
fell under the bullet intended for Ro-
1eau himself.
Blake sprang forward, cropping I'M
der cover of the smoke, to find the
body OF his enemy, stopped, paused,
sprang back-it was not Roleau, but
his own man whom he had slain!
Roleau by this time, with no more
than a quick flash of self-congratula-
ton at his unexpected safety, had
sprung away. Blake called out to his
followers and started after Roleau. He
did not meet him at the outer open
arg, but ran into the arms of the band
OF gendarmes who had followed Ro-
Ieau hither.
Seeing the renegade, pistol in hand,
and knowing that he had fred the
shot just heard, the sergeant seized
upon Blake and disarmed him. The
apache leader fought with all the bit

For time was in doubt as between
the lawful and the lawless-these last
two factions who were locked in strug-
gle by reason of the fortunes of the
missing coin.
At this juncture Roleau flung him
self into the conflict. His giant
strength proved such aid that finally
che sergeant and his men had sub
Ciued. not only Blake the leader. but
utIlefs Of his band. AS for Roleau, he
stood grinning at the turn of events
and making no further attempt at es-
cape. Neither did the officer make
any movement to apprehend him
again.
Come with me, then, my friend"
said the officer. you have fought
well for me. We shall see what we
shall See."
Wherefore Roleau, no longer under
espionage, went back with the
gendarmes toward the headquarters of
che prefecture.
Much of this was noted by Kitty
Gray herself, who arrived upon the
scene in time to witness this not IN

1t was not often in his muddled life
that Michael had so full warrant to
give rein to his impulses. He had not
noted the absence of Sachio or Lads

hesitating, told him that woman was
waiting to be admitted. Her name
was one which came to his brain now
above all others.

you delay?"
She came before him now, pale,
downcast, almost trembling. Heavy
enough had been the burden of anx-
iety she long had carried. She had
come to the king, but she sought not
this weak kings comforting. No, she
had come hither in search Of the man
on whom even the king must rely.
"Ah, mademoiselle," he began, half
maudlin, you have come to us at last.
Why were you so absurdly long? We
have grieved for you, and who would
grieve the king?"

and half shuddered as she gave the
title, gazing as she did upon the bloat-

a king. "Your majesty, you are more

Count Frederick heard them ap-

the nearest corner. He knew which
way Sachio would go, and gave him
time to establish lead.
Sachio went straight enough for a
