He waited for an instant, and found
himself without intention in posses

Kitty at the time, in fact, was teIe-

Nothing is enough for one of your
kind to know" replied Roleau blandly.
He might perhaps have engaged in
still more truculent conversation with
the clerk, had he not at that moment
felt hand laid on his arm.
He turned to face sergeant of
gendarmes, who drew him to one side.
In the name of the law, you are
my prisoner" said the man. Come
with me-"
"On what charge then, monsieur 2"
demanded Roleau coolly. "It is my

sergeant.

gendarme grimly; you will see how
far. Murder was committed yonder

Roleau found this a proposition diff

with them now peaceably as he might,
to the tribunal where someone must
answer for the recent crime.
The project greeted him grimIy
enough, yet with a certain exultation
in his mien. It was necessary in that
country, as in others, that a victim
should be found for the law. Per-

many others, it mattered little who

himself from the room. Inquiry found
for him presently the waiting woman
in whose care Kitty had been placed,
and together they approached the
room where she had been left, some
hours before, to her own devices.
They knocked, knocked again, and
yet again-but got no answer. The
woman at length opened the door with
her own key. Her sudden exclama-
ton convinced Count Frederick that
the room was empty.
"She is up to her tricks" exclaimed
he to himself. "Now wonder"
He did not pause to ask much Of the
waiting woman, but hurried away
down the hall, intent on certain plans
of his own.
He must find her, must see her at
once. He had no real idea as to which
course Kitty had taken after leaving
the room, but alone after time, he
walked more slowly, he could not say
why. Something came to his senses,
as first not recognizable faint
scent-a perfume which it seemed
to him he had known before-the per-
fume of violets, faint, indefinite, fra

He found himself at length in mar

downward Thus finally he found him
self in the self-same subterranean tun-
mel which Kitty earlier had discovered.
"She was searching for the torture
chamber" said he to himself, with
sudden conviction. "That is why she
came here!"
He came at length to the great door
which closed the passageway. Yes, in
the dust before him were footprints,
and in the dust on the door itself were
finger prints! The silence and secre-
CIV of ages had been broken within the
hour.
He pushed open the door--pushed it
until it met some obstruction-some-
thing which lay vaguely white upon
the floor. he turned downward the
flare of his light-started back from
what he saw.
She lay at his feet, unconscious,
helpless-dead, for all he could tell.

Their adventures of his own. AS soon
as he had made his escape from the
field where the three had so nearly
met disaster, he made such speed as
he could after Kitty. who, as he knew
very we'll, would hasten as fast as
might be to find some hiding for her
self and the coin.
But where was she now? That he
could not guess, for he had no means
of learning that Kitty had been left
in the palace of the king. Rather, he
supposed that she would be at the no.
tel which she had made her residence.
He bent his own steps thither as rap
idly as might be.
He met only coldness at the Office
