Now in truth the nobleman and his

Count Sachio fastened to the room
where on his return from the battle

His tunic and trousers lay where he
had left them. Evidently his orderly

Roleau, the Spy,

Hoieau, the Spy.
In all these rapid events of the last
few hours Roleau had been left quite
to his own resources. His mistress
had slipped away from him without
his knowledge Count Frederick was
gone, he knew not where. He guessed
rather than knew that each of them
might be seeking the other. That
meant, according to his reasoning,
that they must be at or near the royal
palace. 1t was thither Roleau at
length turned his own footsteps.
Discovered at last through the notice
attracted by his lack of uniform. he
was halted by an officer, who brought
him forthwith to the commander of
the army, none less than Sachio, who
sat close to the king, watching the
progress of the battle.
General" said the officer to Sachio,
here is a man who was trying to
get through our lines. What shall we
do with him? We think perhaps he
is a spy"
so, fellow, you are here again ?"
he said, grimly. 81 know you, yes,
well enough. We have met more than
once before now. | recall you at my
lodging, and elsewhere. What do you
here? Where is she, your mistress,
the young American"
"Yonder somewhere, excellencv."
said Roleau, pointing toward the pal
ace.
Take him away, lieutenant, and
keep him safe until | call for him."
1t was thus that Roleau remained
for time unobserved, but was ulti-
mately caught in the general rout of
King Cortislaw's armies. 1t was night
when finally the rout ended under the
walls of Grahoffen itself.
Cortislaw was an old man when he
had started out that day. Since Morn
ing he had aged yet a dozen years.
Nothing was left to him! The end
of his LIES dream was at hand.
Curses upon all thingsl" exclaimed
old Cortislaw, at last, sweeping a level
glance under his bushy gray brows at
his courtiers. Once more they have
proved too much for us. 1t was my
one remaining chance"
None dared raise voice against the
wrath of the broken king. After a
