or Of honest people. No, 1t would be
useless to tell them.
II have it," she exclaimed half
aloud. II see It now. The king Is
still afraid Of his people-he is hid
in his own palace now lest he e his
shadow-and all the time he is look

he called to his side that night OF the
ball-Count Frederick. Very we'll.
King Michael wants Count Frederick
and he shall have him. That is to
say he shall know where he is. II
the king retains any power In this dis.

sat for a time pondering. Yes, she
once more had half the coin-that half
given to her BY the king. So far. so
good. But after all, she was as far
from the ultimate success Of her
errand as ever she had been. Her
own half OF the coin-that which she
had brought with her from America
where was It? In the possession of a
certain. tall, strong mana man who
had smiled when dangers threatened
him-a man she hated with all her

She ought to hate him with all her
heart-yes. she was sure Of that.

Kitty paused for . time to look at

sudden resolve to herself. There has

JUST THE CHILDREN MoURNED
Mono Came to Claim the Body Of Old
George, tho Cornetlst.

About US everywhere in the fiotsam
of the human tide are drifting mystic
ries we accept without inquiry. There
are such people in Sacramento as "'Oh
George, the cornetist," who recently
fell dead in New York city.
Day after day he appeared at the
same corner. offered his familiar tunes
to the admiring children and the some
times abjuring adults. and collected
the pennies wherewith to buy food,
clothing and shelter.
No one ever asked him his right
name, but the children loved hin.
Then one morning, as Old George
raised his horn to his lips, it clat.
tered to the pavement, and the song
he was planning to give the crowd
ratified In his throat as he toppled over
dead.
The children mourned him for sew.
eral days. No m came to claim his
body.
