Pop will drive in the free-for-all
trot and will sit behind st. Frisco, one
OF the finest t%rotters that ever shook
a leg around the Grand circuit tracks.
Opposing st. Frisco will be Heir Reap

free-for-all trot will be the feature of
the afternoons racing card and will
bring together q pair of the finest
horses in the land. Frank Jones will
pilot Heir Heaper against st. Frisco
and Pop Geers. and horse fans are
certain to see as thrilling a race as
has ever been u on the Grand cir
cult.

Mr.. Geers, is the property of Frank

to his vigil outside the kings bed

rumors Of the kings condition had
crept out, In spite Of their caution.
The place, kept free of murmurs by
the police, was filing slowly with peo-
pie; people who took up positions on
benches, under the trees, and even sit
ting on the curb of the street. An
orderly and silent crowd it seemed, of
the better class. Here and there he

HE has promised not to leave
Otto"
Olga Loschek had been incredulous,
at first. It was not possible. Men in
love did not do these things. It was
not possible, that, after all, she had
failed. When she realized it, she
would have broken out in bitter pro-
| test, but HedWigs face warned her.
| 'sHe is right, Of course" HedWig had
said. "You and l were wrong, count
ess. There is nothing to door say"
| And the countess had taken her de-
feat quietly, with burning eyes and a
| throat dry with excitement.
The plot was arranged, to the small
est detail. The king, living now only
so long as 1t was decreed he should
live. would, in mid-afternoon, COM
mence to sink. The entire court
| would be gathered in anterooms and
salons near his apartments. In his
rooms the crown prince would be kept,
awaiting the summons to the throne
room, where, on the kings death, the
regency would be declared, and the
court would swear fealty to the new
king, Otto the Ninth. By arrangement
with the captain of the palace guard,
who was one of the committee of ten,
| the sentries before the crown princes
door were to be of the revolutionary
party. Mettlich would undoubtedly
be with the king. Remained then to
be reckoned with only the princes per-
sonal servants, Miss Braithwaite, and
Milky Larisch.
Two obstacles were left for the
countess to cope with, and this was
her part Of the work. She had al
ready plan for Miss Braithwaite. But
Milky Larisch?
Over that problem, during the long
night hours, Olga Loschek worked. It
would be possible to overcome Milky,
Of course. There would be four men,
with the sentries, against him. But
that would mean struggle and an
alarm. It was the plan to achieve the
abduction quietly, so quietly that for
perhaps an hour--they hoped for an
hour-there would be no alarm. Some
time they must have, enough to make
the long journey through the UNDER
ground passage. Otherwise the open
ing at the gate would be closed, and
the party caught like rats in a hole.
During the early afternoon the
chancellor visited the crown prince.
Waiting and watching had made in
roads on him. but he assumed sort

I Hedwig's notification that she would
visit her, found the countess at leisure
and alone. She followed the announce
ment almost Immediately, and if she
had shown cowardice before, she
showed none now. She disregarded
the chair Olga Loschek offered, and
came to the point with a directness
that was like the kings.
Il have come" she said simply, ito
find out what to do"
The countess was as direct.
II cannot tell, you what to do, high
ness. can only tell you THAT
would do"
'Very we'll" Hedwig showed a
touch Of impotence. This was quib-
bling, and it annoyed her.
Il SHOULD go away, now, with the
person cared about"
Where would you go?"
"The world is wide, highness."
"Not wide enough to hide in, am
afraid"
'For myself" said the countess, "the
problem would not be difficult. /

well, would perform the marriage.
After that they might find me if they
liked. 1t would be too late"

perhaps, in peasant costume. They
are glad to marry, these fathers.

she added, still with her carefully de-
tached manner, shat marriage could
be easily arranged"
But, before long, she had dropped
her pretense. Of aloofness, and was TAX

struggle, and now trembling with
nervousness, put herself in her hands,
listening while she planned, agreed
eagerly to everything. Something of
grim amusement came into Olga Los

thing she would lose everything. It
would be impossible to conceal her
connivance. No one, knowing Hedwig,

She, then, would lose everything,
even Karl, who was already lost to her.
But-and her face grew set and her
eyes hard-she would let those plot
tiers in their grisly catacombs do their
own filthy work. Her hands would be
clean of that. Hence her amusement

So 1t was arranged, to the last de-
tail. For it must be done at once.
Hedwfg, a trif1e terrified, would have
postponed it day or so, but the
countess was insistent. Only she knew
how the very hours counted, had them
numbered, indeed, and watched them
flying by With a sinking heart.
If she gave a fleeting thought to the
palace, to the crown prince and his i'm
pending fate, she dismissed it quick
