treasure. myself have been in that
room. have been beneath the walls
Il know the very place where that
secret is concealed. Look, we have
all the coin-and even if this half is
| counterfeit, their half, the true half
though it be, is no more than half.
They cannot read the riddle Of their
own treasure, and yet we know it,!
Who, then, has won this battle?
Riches are needful for any king. With
out the secret which we ourselves
hold, what may they hope? No, not
all is yet lost, your majesty"
The old king turned upon him his
burning eye. Count Sachio," said
he, "you have disappointed me time
and again regarding yonder coin; yet
after all, Of all my noblemen, you
have been the most. successful, for
surely you brought to us the secret.
That is true. At one time we had all
the coin. Long we have had half the
coin. Today we held it all in our pos.
session, and we still hold it,. Bring
me the coin. I want to examine both
halves once more with my own eyes,
ut is we'll, your majesty. I will go
get both halves, we will compare
them"
Count Sachio fastened to the room
where on his return from the battle
field he had changed his dusty apparel.
His tunic and trousers lay where he
had left them. Evidently his orderly
had fed.
Count Sachio took up the trousers
and thrust hand into a pocket. He
knew where he had kept the coin, in
his little leather folding portemcn-
maize. But he withdrew his hand and
looked at it curiously. The blank look
on his face remained as he felt quick
ly in other pockets of the same gar
ment, as he searched nervously
through every pocket of the tunic
which he had discarded.
When Count Sachio returned to his
king he was in deep pallor; conster-
nation sat on his face.

was responsible for them, that is true.
But, see here where 1 hid them-ev-
erything is empty now. They have
been taken away by someone. And
who could have known of it,"
A silence fell upon the group.
"Stay!" added Sachio a little later
there was man, prisoner, who
was brought to me just before our re-
treat began-the man named Roleau."
Find that mani" said Cortislaw,
coldly, returning a savage eye upon
Sachio.

CHAPTER LII.
Roieau, 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. It 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"
$50, fellow, you are here again."
he said, grimly. 81 know you, yes,
well enough. We have met more than
| once before now. l recall you at my
| lodging, and elsewhere. What do you
here? Where is she, your mistress,
| the young Americana"
"Yonder somewhere, excellency,"
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 a time unobserved, but was ulti-
mately caught in the general rout Of
King Cortislaw's armies. It 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 life's dream was at hand.
"Curses upon all things!" exclaimed
old Cortislaw, at last, sweeping 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
time, he went on:
What use, then, Count Sachio, was
their coin, after all? We had it, and
we lost"
Count Frederick told me, your RIA
jesty," began Sachio, shat what we
had was only counterfeit. He said
he gave it to the king of Gretzhoffen
in a bit of deceit for purposes of his
own. It read the same-that may be
sworn. It's errand should have been
the same. But as to our victory
look, it was counterfeit"

But" said Count Sachio, after a
time, "the end never is till all is done.
True, we have failed at arms, your
majesty, but after all. that does not
affect the existence Of the Gretzhoffen

in their own tempestuous retreat,
had been grouped under loose guard
in the rear compound of the Grahoffen
palace 1t was with them that Roleau
had been confined. Thither Count
Sachio now turned his steps. Hastily
he inquired of this officer and that, of
this prisoner and that.

YOUR FRECKLES
Need Attention in March or Face
May STAY Covered.

Now is the time to take special care
of the complexion If you wish it to
look well the rest Of the year. The
March winds have strong tendency
to bring out freckles that may stay all
Summer unless removed. Now is the
time to use othine-double strength.
This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by prominent
physician and is usually so successful
that it is sold by druggists under
guarantee to refund the money if it
fails. Get an ounce of othine-double
strength, and even few applications
should show wonderful improve
ment, some of the smaller freckles
even vanishing entirely.-Adv.
