corner of the .oom, half moaning in
helpless terror.
And yet now, at the last instant.
1t was Count Frederick himself to
whom 1t was given to devise a plan,
desperate in itself, yet, as 1t CHANGED,
effective.
His eyes fell upon a great wheel,
rusty and long disused, which thrust
out of one corner of the room. As
he saw it his gaze kindled with the
sudden thought which 1t suggested.
He knew what 1t was and what it
meant-what hope it offered now.
Keep them talking" he whispered
to Kitty, in a quick aside. Engage
them for Just a moment-keep them
busy-wait.''
Count Frederick knew that this
wheel and the levers beyond con-
trolled the drainage outlet of the
great moat which surrounded the
rear portion of the castle. Those low
er gates once opened. there was moth
ing to prevent flooding Of the subter-
ranean passages. The moat waters
had been used for that very purpose
in the past-so ran tradition--and
great had been the slaughter wrought
upon ancient enemies of GretzhofYen
through that very means. Here they
were living in the past-here they de-
manded of the past its secrets-here
they were surrounded by all the grim
memorials of the past. Why, then,
thought Count Frederick. why not use
that ar nd IN hot
had been sufficient to it?
He laid his hand upon the wheel.
1t had not yielded to an arm less pow
erful than his. and even his strength
was necessary to its limit before he
could force it to yield, long disused as
1t had been here. But at length It
did turn a little, and then more and
yet more.
The result was beyond all calcula-
tion. There came the sound of rip
pling, and then of rushing waters. It
came in the passages back OF the in
vaders.' 1t filled the stone floors along
the corridors. 1t Tapped their feet. 1t
bathed their ankles. 1t rose swiftly
to their knees. And then consterna-
tion seized upon all those who but now
had stood triumphant. tauntlng, men
acing. OF truth, the trapped crea-
tureB had turned and wrought their
own vengeance,
Quick, get to safety" commanded
Frederick now. And even as he and
his companions found a little higher
level in another chamber whence
they could see the work of the wa
ters on their foes, those foes them
selves began to cry out in terror at
the mysterious enemy against which
they could not battle.
Your Majesty" exclaimed Count
Sachio now to the tall figure at his
side-"your majesty"

like the meanest of these retainers
about him, and neither could find
hope.
"The wheel, the Wheel called Sa-
chic at length. Stop him. men-he is
opening the water gates-stop him at
once"
Himself and few men endeavored
to go at Frederick, but met the irate
Kitty, who put up tigerlike resis-
tance to protect her comrade at his
work. The sound of shots carle, the
mingled sounds of much confused lam
entation from those now threatened
with drowning in these deep subter-
ranean passages.
What" exclaimed Cortislaw to Sa-
chic, lis 1t my fate to drown like q

Even the sense of chagrin was lost

"Wait-we offer parley-we offer a

will protect the life of our sovereign"
so then" exclaimed Frederick,

Il admit he is" said Sachio. 'I ad-
NIT also that you have the upper hand

like 50 much vermin here-stcp your

to doubt it more than once"

why, then" said Count Frederick,
smiling. agreed. and very cheerfully.
The Elbert County tribune., 1916-02-04

corridors with your dead. Let 1t be

touched-they will flood these chan

Decide then"
Enough. enough" cried Sachio,
holding up his hands. I'VE submit
we surrender-we agree"
Count Frederick reversed the wheel.
Little by little, the gurgling and rush
ing of the waters ceased. They
reached their own level again. Once
more the old moat was locked, and
once more drawn battle had been
fought over that secret which still re-
manned hidden deep somewhere in
those rock caverns.
Little by little, slowly and in deep
humiliation, the forces of Grahoffen
found their way out as best they
might-or at least most of them did,
including Sachio and CortisIaw, his

Frederick to King Michael. where

We were not far alike from death and

we would have taken toll of them to

lection of the old tradition about the
wheel and the water gates.
But come now, perhaps your mai

portunity to do SO. Unless l am now
far mistaken, our friends of Grahof-

and sword, but with the waters under
the earth, we have smitten them.

when at length they had escorted the

Bill Nye used to tell this story OF
the late Myron w. Reed of Denver:
Reed was bright and original preach

hear him. Once a man from the Gun

rather late Sunday morning while
Reed was making low but earnest
