The vessel when blown up was we'll
on her way with the favoring winds
which she sought which in ordinary
course would have carried her out into
the Mediterranean.
How Count Frederick and Roleau

water at that latitude was not cold,
and the day was one of calm.

Roleau.
Wind and wave carried these two
far-they knew not how far, and had
no means Of guessing, for they could
not tell how long time had passed
since the explosion which had sunk
the ship. They knew not which way
to look for land, if land there might
one moment, as they flung high on the
crest Of the wave, Count Frederick
saw, many hours after the wreckins
of the ship, something which caused
him to give an exclamation of surprise.
"Roleau," he exclaimed. "There is
land ahead, believed"
Look" said Count Frederick a;
length. "They are coming out to US. p
Surely enough, even from where
they were they could see dark forms
running here and there, could see the
launching of boat, could see it com

At length the craft came alongside.
manned by strange, swarthy natives
whose speech they did not know, yet
VINO seemed friendly enough withal
TO serve as rescuers for them. With
small ceremony they were hauled on
board, and the boat, turning, made
way back again to the shore ahead.
"Tis an island, Roleau," said Fred
erick, after moment spent in exam
ination. mot SO large, but excellent
under foot, is it not true? And these
people seem not unfriendly to u.s."
For a time they had been left alone,
but now they saw certain of the ma
tives returning with food and water.
Upon these both the shipwrecked ad.
venturers fell with eagerness. Their
captors stood about and grinned in
pleasure. All the wealth of Count
Frederick, his gold, his castles, his
lands-these things seemed little in
value as compared to what these
swarthy natives brought him now.

country on business of her own. With

She has been the victim of evil for

NOW, am telling you the truth--since

truth, so far as know it,
Then why not let them sail for

her own country? l am booked for
New York. If that be a city of her
native land. why not that port as we'll
as any other? And how shall know

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. If
she says she wishes to go back to her

Il recall that short time back there
was complaint of noises below decks!
I sent some men to look into that.
Where are they?'
He pressed a bell and soon one of
his assistant officers came.
Go, bring me the men sent to ex-
anime the cargo a while ago. There
was some talk of noise as of loose
animals in the hold"
After time the officer returned,

He himself led the way to the lift
which led to the lower decks and the
hatchway which covered the ladders
into the ships hold.
They found themselves at last deep
in the bowels of the vessel, among
the bales and casks of the cargo,
where for time all was darkness and
mystery. But as they hurried here
and there, commanding the guidance
OF the two recreant seamen and cast
ing the rays of their lights hther and
yon, at last they saw trussed-up
bundle behind bale of goods which
seemed to have some human SEM

over him, freed him, and after time
revived him.

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
it. AS to that, we do not know. This
is but a drag-net sort of move on our
part but it may take some fish-who
knows?'
Good! Then what is our next
move. as you perceive it?"
"Why, let us make a cautious move

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 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 thing
desirable for him. Let us ask good
Michael if he is not gracicusly 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
loud laugh, his gray beard curling
at the thought of his courtier's cum
ming as we'll as his loyalty to his own
king,
Excellent! Sachio, excellent" he
exclaimed "Nor do l doubt the sue

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 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
us. We do not know how far it may
be until we come to gate or a gap,
but sometimes there will be a gate or
gap, through which we may pass.
In some way I doubt not. and others
may perhaps gain access to the palace
of Gretzhoffen. That gives us our
footing. as for them, they sleep and
revel. AS for us, we act. 1t is the

They all crowded now to the lad

they might, found their way back to
the upper deck. There came confu-

not ordinary at this stage of the voy-

passengers themselves suspected
something to be wrong. They crowd

CHAPTER Xxi.
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 f,l.
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.

Jump! We will swim for it. We

The look on the face of the girl at
his side was one in part of despair
but more of trust. Unhesitatingly the
three sprang together.
The sea closed over them. They rose
after an agonized instant which
seemed death itself--rose but to see

piece of wreckage. But others saw ii

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. What's 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.

cunning not quite equal to the issue.

the captain. What does this mean

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

a lion. They fought us, you see."
Where are they now, spitzbuben

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-
lOnged to him.
