any proposition which came couched
to teir words and which offered no
disturbing changes In hla own per-
aonal plana. Ha acceded readily
anough to tha propoaala of tha Ora*

tlca between tha two warring coun-
trlaa with a view to a formal and final
paaca. Keadlly anough alao he admit-

plotter of tho forces of bis heroditary
an amy.
Unopposed, Indeed Invited. Sachlo
made his way much aa he liked
throughout the Gretzhoffen palace,
with whose Interior he already waa
more or less familiar. It was his plan
In case of any challenge to refer to
the royal ruler who was his host.
He paid special attention to that
apartment where he bad found the
partially destroyed original script
whose missing half he sought. Here,
minutely, patiently, like a hound run-
ning a difficult trail, he went over tho
place inch by Inch, seeking to And
some trace which would itad him to
bis quarry.
But success did not attend his ef-
forts, though these he prosc-cuted even
In those portions of the palace where
so recently he and his troops had
faced death when the levels were flood
ed by waters turned In from the castle
moats. He was willing to despair, and
In fact had turned away with the In
tentlon of giving up the search, when
he met a subofflcer of the guard who
proved difficult to handle in his usual
easy fashion.
"Halt! Who goes there?" chal-
lenged this guard as he saw Sachlo
emerge from one of the lower cham-
bers.
"A friend!" rejoined Sachlo prompt-
ly, In military formula.
"Advance, friend, and give the coun-
tersign!" came the gruff command.
"The countersign?" said Sachio.
"Ah, well, my friend, now that I think
of It, I have not had it given to me.
'Twas my own neglect. But I am a
friend of the king—'twas he who gave
me permission to explore these por-
tions of the palace. I was curious to
aee the operations of this system of
defense by water—it was something
new to me."
"That is all very well," rejoined the
soldier, "but explanations of that sort
are scarcely good enough."
"Take me, then, to the king blm-
eelf," said Sachio.
"Why should I?" rejoined the other.
"What business is it of yours to know
about the lower levels of our palace?
These are ticklish times, and there
bave been such things as spies."
"Spies!" exclaimed Sachio, virtuous-
ly. "I, a spy—is that what you mean,
fellow? If so, I command you to car-
ry me forthwith to the presence of the
king himself. He knows me well, and
you should have a care not to offend
one who 1b under the king's protec-
tion."
The sheer audacity, of this intruder
had its effect, even upon the blunt sol-
dier who had accosted him. Sachio
was indeed taken to the presocce of
Michael, and there his bold prediction
proved true—Michael reprimanded
publicly the officer who had done his
duty, and showed his public favor to
tbe man who was Indeed a spy, al-
though not suspected of being one.
"What, fellow?" exclaimed the king
to the soldier, when Sachio had made
bla explanations—"what do you mean
by offering Indignity to our friend and
future ally In this fashion? Away
with you. and do ycu report at the
guardhouse under arrest. Your trial
■ball come later."
"My dear Sachlo." resumed Michael.

gone some days or hours. 1 cannot

know she Is nut here, for every room
of tbe palace has been searched for
her, and she Is not found.'
"Your majesty." rejoined Sachlo. "It
la astonishing how a keen brain like
your own can guess another's secrets!
I also make a claim to humble Intelli-
gence enough to have guessed your
wishes in this matter, but. alas. I can
be of no service to your majesty. 1
grieve to add. neither can anyone else
be of service."
"What? She Is dead!"
"Oh. not so bad aa that But she Is
gone."
"Gone—where?"
"To her own country—back to that
America of which your majesty has
beard her boast so freely."
"How do you know this, my friend?"
demandod Michael.
Sachlrt smiled. "Who should know
better?" said he. "Let me confess. We
took yender young lady a prisoner and
carried her away with us; but we
could *jot hold her as such. Indeed,
w-e no longer hold any quarrel with
Gretzhoffen and thore was no longer
question of prisoners as between
the two kingdoms. This young lady
was seen to take ship."
"At what port?"
"At ours, your majesty. Her aston-
ishing Ingenuity enabled her to escape
from our guards. Like Catiline of old,
she has escaped, she has evaded, she
has broken forth! And a good rid-
dance of her, so Bay we all!"
"All, my good Sachio? 1 am not so
8ure. How shall I rid my memory of
her eyes so beautiful, her hair so lov-
able, her figure—her so charming and
delicate figure? Fortune does not
often repeat such favors. We may
not expect to soe her like again at any
early dato."
"That is as it is," said Sachio, pre-
tending to heave a vast sigh of sym-
pathy. "But what can we do? She
took it all Into her own hands, and
by this time is well on her way to
America. There is not the slightest
doubt regarding either her departure
or her destination—she was rather
bold about it, in fact, and made no
secret of her plans."
"Wes she a spy, think you, Sachio?
"Without doubt, your majesty, and _
well rue it that she did not receive
the punishment fit for a spy. True,
she was beautiful—"
"Yes, yes!" assented Michael. "Such
eyes, such a figure—think you that
she will return?"
"I truly hope not, your majesty,"
returned Sachio fervently, and for
once he spoke the truth, even on the
chance of offending this amorous king.

no purpoee of her own. abe looked
one* more into tbe face of peril The
aa%agea who aurrounded her ahowed
no sign of pity or klndneaa. Upon the
contrary, whooping and yelling, tbey
fell upon her and dragged her In aplte
of herself toward tbelr own village.
Tbla village had a ruler of Its own.
no doubt chief for lLat part of the
country.
He was a savage of peculiarly fierce
and forbidding visage, and Kitty felt
her blood run cold as she facej bis
evil ga/e. The natives, yelling In
glee, practically cast her at bis feet.
Evidently they were giving to Caesar
the things which they thought were
Csesar's—In this case, woman, the
apolia oplma of all wars and all con-
quests. The evil face of the savage
monarch relaxed Into a grin which
made Kitty shudder.
W hat woman was this now brought
by chance to the presence of this ogre?
Surely he had never seen her like be-
fore. Moreover, she was alone, a pris-
oner, helpless. The progress of rea-
lon hereabouts was swift and simple.

CHAPTER LXV.
The Unknown Countries.
What now of those to whom Count
Sachio had so lightly given carte
blanche to oblivion? Certainly there
was left behind them no trace or clue
which could give a hint of the ex-
traordinary circumstances now en-
meshing them. They might all of

as well have been dead Indeed and
sunk at sea. so far as any hint of their
fate was concerned. They had van-
ished from the earth. The ship thst
bore them bad vanished from the wa-
ter as well.
It was a strange and unreal coun-
try which faced Count Frederick when
be found solid land under foot once
more. He turned to life and its hap-
piness only with a dull apathy, a lag-
ging Interest.
Frederick did not note that the
faithful Roleau had become separated

or gesture, or of the unspoken tele-
pathic quality of the mind itself. Count
Frederick understood not one word
of this language which he heard, yet
he knew—because he must know—
something of the subject which these
persons were discussing.
The men had come far—one could
tell that, their looks proved it. The
had seen something strange, some-
thing extraordinary had happened,
some event of interest or importance
had occurred, else they would not have
come so fast and so far. This was
easy enough to reason out.
What was that event? What could
happen out* of the ordinary on this
desert island, unless it were some-
thing coming from beyond the narrow
horizon of that island—say, a ship-
wreck, or the landing on these shores
of some survivor such as he himself
had been?
That would explain these hurried
messengers. But if that were true,
who or what was the survivor or ad
venturer discovered In a distant part
of this same land? Was it a man or
men. was it a woman or women?
What waa the meaning of these ex
cited ejaculations, these gestures,
these contortions?
Guessing, rather than knowing.
Count frederick fancied that these
men were telling about a woman who
like himself bad been cast up by tbe
waves.
Tbe keen intentness of Use white
man's brain, for countless generations
trained in logic and analysis, infinitely
superior to tbe mentality of theas half
brutes about htm. served to force It-
self into aome comprehension of what

and the chief himself did not lack
directness in his methods. He gave
a sign to his men. and the girl was
dragged away, struggling as best she
might, and flung into a hut which she
knew was to serve as a prison.
Here in a corner of the dark interior
she cowered in terror before the ap-
paritions conjured up by her own
imagination. She had not long to
wait. The chief himself came, little
suspecting the resistance he was to
meet—that of an enraged and despair-
ing woman. So valiant did Kitty prove
herself in repulsing his odious ad-
vances, that he was glad enough to
give her up and make his way back
to his hammock, leaving her to her
owe devices.
Outside the hut Kitty could now
hear loud cries, orders, shouts, ex-
clamations. all the sounds of a crowd
gathering—for what purpose she could
not guess. The meaning of this also
was not long left In doubt for her.
Again the door of her hut sras dark-
ened. and again the natives intruded
upon her privacy. Forceful hands
dragged her once mora before the
chief.
Tha Utter, smiling his hideous pur
pose of vengeance, pointed to a pile
of firewood burning at tha brink of a
deep pit in the ground. He made
signs to Kitty which sba could not
fail to understand.

CHAPTER LXV 11.
In the Bowels of the Earth.
Count Frederick and his little band
of warriors did not at once arrive up-
on the solution of tho mystery of the
strange white woman. The childlike
caprice of the nativea led him hither
and thither, to this village and to thnt;
so that a considerable time *«ed
elapsed before at length he found him-
self upon the scene of the late fateful
happenings, although himself at that
time still ignorant alike of the occur-
rences and their cause? To him this
was but ono more savage village, one
more set of difficulties, one mors
series cf disappointments.

The trail led on, and down. whithoL
none could guess. Frederick of Oreta-
hoffen did not stop to guess, but
plunged forward impulsively. Who-
ever or whatever might be this crea
ture which had carried her off, here
at least was his lair.
The dusty floors of the cavern, lit
by tho flare of such torches as they
found ready for such work, still re-
tained the record. Captor and captive
had walked here. Deeper and deeper
Into the caverns under the hill they
followed the trail, until at length the
distracted eyes of Count BYederick
saw on ahead something to give him
pause.
He saw Kitty Gray standing, alive,
apparently unhurt. In a vast apart-
ment of these subterranean vaults 1 Be-
yond. the floor seemed to break off—
to what depth he could not guess. No
egress at either extremity of the sub-
terranean chamber could be seen from
where he Btood. The trail led thither,
to where she stood—to where at bar
8ids stood also a strange misshapen
figure of a man, or what had been a
man.
'•Mademoiselle!" cried Count Fred-
erick, high and clear. "Courage!"
and sprang forward.
Now this strange creature am bad
brought Kitty Oray hither seemed to
fancy himself about to be robbed of
hia captive. For one moment he stood
awaiting the onslaught of Count fred-
erick and bia allies, then with *
hoarse cry he caught Kitty Oray up
in his arms again. A pace or ao. aad
she was held suspended above the o
known abyss which lay below. Ilss-
acingly. her captor turned upon his a*>
saUant a face which at laaat offered
one conclusion.
