Chapter XXII (Continued) TURING tho afternoon came a pack L'nge, rather unsklllfully tied with a gilt cord. Opening It, the Countess dis closed a gloo box of wood, with a de sign of rather shaky violets burnt Into the cover. Inside was a note; I am very sorry you are sick. Thli Is to put your gloves In when you travel. Please oxcuso tho work. I have done It In a hurry. FERDINAND WILLIAM OTTO. Suddenly tho CoUntcss laughed, chok ing hysterical laughter that nlarmed Minna; horrible laughter, which left her paler than ever and gasping. The old rastle of tho Loscheks looked grim and Inhospitable when she reached it that night. Built during the years when tho unbeliever overran southern Europe, It stood In a commanding posi tion iver n valley, nnd n steep, wnllcd road led up to It. Tho narrow windows of Its turrets were built, in defiance of the Moslem hordes. In the shape of the cross. Its walls had been hospitable enough, however, when the crusaders had thronged by to redeem the Holy Sepulchre from tho grasp of the Infidel. Here, In Its Btone hall, they had slept In weary rows on the floor. From Its battlements they had Btared south nnd east along tho road their feet must follow. But now. Its ancient glory and good repute departed, its garrison gone. Us drawbridge and mont things of the past, Its ery hangings and furnishings tnol derlng from long neglect, It hung over the valley, a past menace, an empty threat. To this drearv refuse 11it Cniintem had fled. She wanted the sllenco of Its still rooms in which to think. Wretched nerseir. Its wretchedness called her. As tho carriage which had brought her from the railway turned Into Its woods and she breathed tho pungent odor of pine and balsam, ho relaxed for the first time. Why was she so hopeless? She could escape. Sho knew the woods well. None who followed her could know them so well. She would get away, and some where in a new world 'make n fresh start. Surely, nfter all, peace was the greatest thing In the world. Peace ! The word attracted her. There were religious houses whoro one would bo eafo enough, refuges hlah-walled and tccure. Into which no alien foot ever penetrated. And, as if to answer the thought, sho saw nt that moment across the valley the lights of Etzel, tho tower or tho church, with Its thirteen bells. the monastery buildings behind It. and set at Its feet, like pilgrims come tc pray, the low houses of the peasants. For the church at Etzel contained n. rnle. brated shrine, nono other than that of uur i..aay or tlie Angels, and here came, from all over tho kingdom, long lines of footsore nnd weary pilgrims, seeking peace ana panctlty, and some a miracle. Tho carrlnge drove on; Minna, on the box, closed herself at s'ght of the church and chatted with the driver, a great figure who crowded her to the very edge of the seat. "I am glad to be here," she said, "I am Blck of grandeur. My home Is In Etzel." She turned nnd Inspected the man beside her. "You aro a new comer, I think?" "I have but Just come to Etzel.' "Then you cannot tell me about my people. sne wan disappointed. "And you," Inquired the driver "you will stny for a visit?" "A week only. But better than noth ing." "After that, you return to the city?" "les. Madame the Countess you would know, If you were Etzel-born Madame the Countess Is lady-ln-waltlng to Her iioyal HlghncES, tho Archduchess Annunciata." "So!" said the driver. But lie was not curious, nnd tho broken road de manded his attention. He was but new ly come, so very newly that he did not know his way, and onco made a wrong turning. Tho Countess relaxed. She had not been followed. None but themselves had left the train. She was sure of tint. And, looking back, she satisfied herself that no stealthy f oot-tra eler dogged their Blow progress. She breath ed quietly for the first time. Sho slept that night. She had wired ahead of her coming, and the old care taker and his wife had opened a few rooms, her boudoir and dressing room, and a breakfast raojj on the first floor. They had swept the nail, too, and built a fire there, but It had been built for n great household, and Its emptiness chilled her. At 4 o'clock In the morning she roused at tho ringing of a bell, telling that masses had already begun at tho church., For wiui me approacn or icm pil grimages had greatly Increased in num bers. But she slept again, to waken to full Bunllght, greatly refreshed. When she had breakfasted and dressed, Bho went out on a balcony and looked down at the valley It was late. Already the peasants of Etzel had, gone 'out to their fields. Children played along Its single streets, A few women on the steps of the church made rosaries of beads which they strung with deft fingers. A band of pilgrims strug gled up the valley, tho men carrying their coats, for the sun was warm, and tho women holding their skirts from the dust As they neared the church, however coats were donned. The procession took on order and dignity. The sight was a familiar one to the Countess. Her vm drnnned to the old wall below. where in the sunshine the caretaker was beating a rug. Close to him, in Intimate and cautious conversation, was the driver of the night before. Glancing up, they saw her and at once separated Oon was peace, then. The Countess knewknew certainly. "Our eyes see everywhere." Eyes. Indeed eyes that even now the caretaker raised furtively from his rug. vvrtheles3 the Countess was mlml ed to experiment, to be certain. For none Is so suspicious, she knew, ns one who fears suspicion. None so guilty as the guilty. During the forenoon she walked through the woods, going uns. ly with vigorous, mountalnbred feet, vl .rari,i. nf underbrush disturbed her. Swift turnings revealed no lurking fig ures skulking behind the trunks of , iit wlirn an ancient Clone bridge crossed a mountain stream she came on the nuge unyer u, ... ....... I.-.-. Afirtlvelv fishing. ii. .-iiniorf her craell and the Countess paused and looked at him. "You have caught no fish, my friend? ha flinfrl "No. madame. But one plays about my hook." She turned back. Eyes everywhere, MORE Y.M.C. A. AIDES NEEDED IN FRANCE and amis, great hairy arms. And feet that, for all their size, must step l.ghtly I Restlessness followed her. Sho was a virtual prisoner, free only In name. And tho vigilance of the Terrorists obsessed her, She found a day gone and no plan made. Sho had come hero to think, nnd consecutive thought was Impossible. She went to vespers at tho church nnd sat huddled In a corner. Sho suspected ccry eyo that turned on her In frank cur.oslty. When, during the "Salvo Reglnn," tho fathers, followed by their pupils, went slowly down the aisle In reercnt procession between rows of pil grims, she saw in their habits only n grim reminder of tho black disguises of the Terrorists. On tho second day sho mado n des perate resolve, nnd characteristically put It Into execution nt once. Sho sent for tho caretaker When ho came, uneasy. for tho Loscheks were Justly feared In the countryside, nnd even the thing of which he knew gave him small courage. she1 lost no t.mo In evasion. "Go." sho said, "and bring here your accomplice." "My nccompllee, madame! I do not " "You heard me." she Bald. He turned, half sullen, half terrified, and paused. "Which do you refer to, madame?" , She had i-een only the one. Then thero wrro others. Who could tell how many others? "Tfie one who drove here." So ho went, leaving her to desperatVs reflection. When ho returned It was to usher In the heavy figure of the spy. "Which of you Is In authority?" sho demanded. , "I, madame." It was the spy who spoke. Sho dismissed the caretaker with a gesture. "Ilnve you any discretion over me? Or must you refer matters to thoso who Kent oil?" "I must refer to them." "How long will It take to send a mes sage and receive n reply?" Ho considered. "Until tomorrow night, madame." Another day gone, then, nnd nothing determined I "Now, listen," sho snld, "and listen carefully. I havo como here to decide a certain question. Whether you know what the question is or not does not matter. But before I decide It I must take a certain Journey. I wish to make that Journey. It Is Into ICamla." Sho watched him. "It Is Impossible. My Instructions " "I am not asking your permission. I wish to send a letter to tho committee. They, and they alone, will determine th s thing. Will you tend the letter?" When ho hesitated, perplexed, alio got up nnd moved to her writing table. "I shall wrlto the letter." she said haughtily. -See that It Is sent. When I report at the end of tho time tint I have sent such a letter, you can Judge better than I tho result If U has not been repolxcd " He was still iluhliiw. but Mie wrote the letter and gave It to him. her face proud nnd scornful. But sho was not t. iur an mat. ana she watched from her balcony to bco If any messenger left the castle and descended tho mountain road. She was rewarded nn hrur Inter by seeing a figure leave the old gate way and Mart afoot toward tiro village, a pale-faced man with colorless lmlr. A part of tho hidden cun.nl flint --. rounded her, t,hn knew, nnd somewhat familiar. But although she racked her brains sho could not remember where sho had keen him. For tho next twenty-four horns she walled. Life became one long endur ance Sho hated the forest, since she might not visit It alone. Sho hated the castle, because It was her prison. She stood for hours that first day on her balcony, surveying with scornful eyes the profession of tho devout, weary women. perplrlng men. lines of children going to bomcthlng they did not com prehend, nnd carrying clenched In small, warm hands drooping bunches of early mountain flowers. And nlways. calling her to something she scorned, rang tlte hells fCT mass oi. for vespers. Tho very tower below beck oned her to peace her, for whom thero would never again be peace. "he cursed tho bell savagely, put her fingers In her ears, to be wakened at dawn the next morning to Its Insistent call.

I I I Til If nny trnirltr should talk to 8c rctary McArion, to whom the Presl lent has Intrusted his powers of rallrond control and manacrmrnt, Secretary McAdoo we do not quote him literally, but tell you what ha would sayl This administration. In all Its parts, Is deeply Interested In the entire na tion and has no plana except for the welfare and derrlopment of the en tire nation, I know that I epratr for all my rollraaiiFit men red In publle service under the direction of the President when I say the welfare of the (reat rerjon west of the Morales Is par ticularly close to the thought of every inn In the coternment. rrnsla the continent, seelne Amer ica, the Rreat hafkhone of the Kocktes, llie marvelous national parks nnd the nvemowrrlnR' Pacific, Is to make a tourney of patriotism, stimulating to entmtry. The desire nf the eovernaient Is to make railroads more efficient, and thnt means more completely service able to the entire nation. It Is not true that any Interfer ence with swift, comfortable trans continental travel Is contemplated. On the contrary, I and those with whom I share the responsibility for railroad management know that the open road awirtly. comfortably trav eled from the ocean on the east to the ocean on the west will always lie the test of railroad rfflrlency and, government success In railroad man agement. Any man who has canceled Ms proposed trip to the l'aclflo coast Is extremely foolish. Americans should travel, see and know each other. And the man who goes now to the beautiful California land of sunshine and flowers helps to save coal here In the Kast. and going to the land of warmth leaves heat behind for others. There Is no Idea of Interfering with the prosperity of the coast by unwise, unnecessary railroad cur tailment. Thus Secretary McAdoo would speak to allay tho anxiety of trav elers and the great business Interests of the Pacific coast. If you doubt It write and ask Mm. Ills Idea of office holding demands that the oftlee holder and all agencies controlled by him rendr fullest service to all classes of people and to all sections of the country. ftMltArtnl from the TVasklngtoa.
