^STOT^Y

Crack! crack A swift double report rang •ut again from the room where the schoolgirl of Breslau kept her vigil.

The Count was on the point of rushing up to succour his ally when she called down Imperatively, "Keep your place Count! They Hill attack you next I can keep them back •u this side."

And she spoke no more than the truth, 4sr half a dozen muskets spoke from the woods, and then with a rush as many men •prang- out of the covert of leaves and ran Skard for the back porch of Alt Karl's chalet It once they got safely within its shelter it night have been difficult to reach them with bullets. Four of the men carried a long straight section of tree trunk, to be used as a battering-ram to force the door.

The Count's rifle cracked, and the end of the tree dropped promptly to the ground. The man who had been carrying one side of the log laid his hand on his thigh and roared aloud. The Count laid down one smoking weapon and lifted another. With this he took aim at the nearer of the two darkfaced men who, with muskets in their hands, were by this time much closer to the porch than those who had to bear the burden of the tree. Again the Count's rifle was beard, and the men broke for the wood without waiting for more. The leaves closed over them and there was a great and Instant stillness.

As Count St. Polten-Vasslma stood at his wicket he could hear Oertrud RIchter in the room above, loading her artillery and laying each gun as it was ready on her little dressing table. He himself hastened to do likewise. Then all suddenly a new turn was given to the situation, for Alt Karl strode

'•ft

out of the wood and across the wide green towards the front door. His daughter saw him firs:, for that was her chosen side of the house. "Run," she cried, "run for the door, father! I will open It." But Alt Karl was an Under-Offlcer of the Kaiser, and it was not his habit to run till he saw cause. So he faced about and looked calmly all about him. A iron went off to the right and a waft of white smoke arose. Alt Karl took the fowling piece from his shoulder and laid it to his ear ready for action. Then steadily, as If ho had given himself the order to charge, he went at the double straight for the plac? from whence the bullet had come. But before he had gone a dotes yards a second shot was fired from the left. Alt Karl wavered, stumbled, and went over on his face with a swirl, his gun exploding as hefell.

By this tme Truda had the front door open and was on the point of rushing forth to succor her father. But Count St. Polten took her by the shoulder roughly and thrust her behind .him. "Stay where you are," he commanded "he is too heavy for you to carry."

And he laid down his gun on the sparred rustle seat in the porch and rushed across the lawn bareheaded. Bullets whistled about htm as he ran. But in a moment he reached the side of the fallen man. He stooped and raised Alt Karl in his arms. A crowd of men broke from the coverts on right and left, and with fierce howls of rage rushed towards the Count who stumbled under his heavy burden.

Nevertheless he carried his Jagdmeiater swiftly enough in his arms towards the open tidor. Ae he came he saw Oertrud kneeling upon one knee behind the trellis of the porch. Swiftly she fired one gun and then another till she had exhausted her store. Then she stood up with her father's revolver ia her hand, and as he approached the door with hie unconscious harden on his shoulder he could hear the sharp crack of the rvwt. and simultaneously the spit and wh ft of the bullets as they passed •a either side of htm, first over one ^boulder and then over the other. So accurate waa the young girl's aim that the charge of the convict* waa stayed, though not wholly prevented. As Oertrud clanged the and shot the bolts two men Sung themselves against It and one fired his gun Into the keyh But the I oak and the good Iron A stood the SUMM. "To your v.n" cried Truda **i shall go hack to my window."

She only reached her station In time to see the disappointed assailants running hack to eover. But the laws waa fairly •prtakled with tl* l. some limping, some crawlin*. auj -ore lying deadly •till. All *», «at* for a little, so having rlfiaa Oertrud ran swiftly

While the Count waa still meditating, ""crack" went little Truda's first shot in the loom above. It was answered by the cry mt a man in angry pain, and then came the •oft trample of many rushing feet over greensward.

look after her father. Alt Karl lay with his head supported «n the Count's shoulder. His daughter cut away his coat deftly. The bullet had gone clean through the shoulder, between the joint of the right arm and the spring of the neck, but very near the surface—too near to have touched any vital part It was the shock more than the wound which had fell ed Alt Karl. Presently he looked up. "Trudchen," he said, "have they killed your father at last?"

But h|s daughter smilingly answered him, 'i^s but a little bloodletting and will do thee good, Father Karl. It is not for gallows thieves to make an end of such a soldier as thou .art."

So when they were somewhat reassured, and the blood stanched, Alt Karl bade them to lay him along a couch Ty an open window and give him a gun or two, for it was natural that he should desire also to have his .chance at the scoundrels,

But for a long time there fame no sign of further attack. The peace of an utter quiet.settled on the chalet and its encompassing ring of sombre woodlands. Ia the long glades where the confederation of the flowers strove with the green pigmy armies of the grass which should be the greater, not a. blade waved, not a petal nodded, so wonderful a silence brooded over all. The Sun smote overbearingly down upon them, so that the humming of the bees and shrill whistle of the cicades almost ceased as the performers retired to take their siestas till the sun should creep a little lower. ii

CHAPTER VI.' Wf WHO SHALL SAVE? -jt. 'i

"I like this not," said Alt Karl "It goes not soundly right. I would rather see the scoundrels storming up to the doors of the house yelling for our blood than abide this uncanny quiet."

The Count St. Polten had relapsed Into his customary lassitude, save that his eyes sometimes reeted with a peculiar expression of astonishment on the returned schoolgirl from Breslau. Oertrud however seemed wholly unconscious that she had done any thing remarkable. The repulse of an organised band of convicts might have formed part of the ordinary curricu

lum of ladles' schools In Silesia, so calm and well accustomed, so demure and unconscious sat the little Truda In her chair. But she ltstened eagerly enough to the talk of her elders. "Doubtless they are waiting for the night to steal upon us with the firebrand and the drench of petroleum," said Alt Karl "that Is the way we burn the villages from which the sharpshooters fire upon our line of march." "There is part of a cavalry regiment Hussars of the Black Eagle, lying In St. Polten," said the Count. "If by any means we could get the news taken down there we might have succour within an hour. It is but three miles, and if there were a man of courage in the neighborhood, he might run with the news."

Alt Karl shook his head. "It needs more than courage and our men of sense are mostly lying between here and Koniggrats," he said. "Besides, the woodchoppers and peasants will think that we of the chateau amuse ourselves with firing at the mark."

Alt Karl held those low views of the intelligence of the countryfolk about St. Polten. which are the birthright of the true hlilman of the Tyrol.

The Count lay back in his chair, deep In meditation. He drew out of his breast pocket'a silver cigarette case. He was on the point of lighting one, when his eyes fell on Oertrud Richter. "With your permission. Mademoiselle." he said, bowing courteously.

The words brought a grim smile to the face of Alt Karl, a smile which ended in a little twitch of pain as his weunded shoulder nipped htm. *TI« Just my little Truda home frotn school in Breslau. and no Mademoiselle at all," he explained. For often In the Austrian Tyrol, with regard to the meaning of words, things are not what they seem. "Hie count looked more than a little annoyed and glanced at Truda. but perfectly unconscious she had taken to her knitting, with the muskets ready on the table beside her all the time. "Your permission, Frauleia Oertrud*" he said politely.

Oertrud smilingly nodded and said that Indeed, with her father's hablta, she waa well enough aocustomed to tobacco. "To the grand pipe, not to the whiffing Of straws." said Alt Karl cantemptuously. pointing to the srvay of noble howls and six-foot stems on the wall.

So with the Count smoking and Oertrud making occasional reconnaissances to the upper window*, the still, hreathleas afternoon wore on Into the cooler stillness of the eveatag sunshine.

All the while little Oertrud was busily thinking. It was tV Count and her father whoa* death the eenvtets aimed at For

herself, not knowing the hearts of the human wild beast, she had no fear. Indeed, had she known all, the worst would not have affrighted her so long as within the chambers of her father's revolver there •lumbered an alternative.

From childhood Oertrud had dwelt in this place. For fifteen years she had tried every path, tested every hiding-place and hollow in all the jagged tangle of honeycombed limestone country about St Polten. She remembered especially the long ravine cleft, which began so mysteriously Just beyond the grassy slope of the glade. The little Trudchen thought deeply, and her thoughts were of what she and she alone eould do.

Would it not be possible for her to ran across the lawn, drop into the ravine and there lie hid while the convicts were searching for her? From thence she* might be able to make her way down the bed of the stream to Martin's Loch, where the streamlet spouted through an archway of stone down the cliff side. She had clambered there many a time In search of wild flowers, and had descended half-way to 8t Polten along the side of the cliff. It was true the foothold was exceedingly precarious, even in daylight, consisting of the merest projections of the limestone rock. But no one had ever attempted it 10 the twilight, still less at night, at whloh time alone she could hope for success.

All this kept passing and re-passing ia the busy little brain while Oertrud went on

SHUT THE3 DOOR SWIFTLY AFTER MB!" with her knitting, or went her rounds above and below stairs. "I wonder if they have really gone," she said to herself, "or if they are only lying in hiding. I shall see. I shall give the real Mademoiselle a chance to distinguish herself."

And she set the hunter's Tyrolese hat, In which she had been accustomed to roam the woods, upon the head of the dressmaker's model, which, like a thrifty landward damsel, she used in the making of her attire. She set Mademoiselle upon a chair with a cloak about her and pushed her to the window. There she swayed idiotically forward as if looking out. A jet of white smoke sprang, promptly out of an oleander bush on the far side of the lawn. There followed the sharp report of a needle-gun and a bullet pitted itself in the thick beam above the window. "Well done Mademoiselle," said Truda •mlling.

And she withdrew the decoy back again into her bedchamber. Thereupon Oertrud went down and explained her scheme for bringing relief, telling them what she had done. But the men, knowing what they knew, would not hear of her plan for a moment. If any were to go for help it must be himself, was St Polten's solution. "If we are to die, why die we must" was that of Alt Karl.

But in her heart the girl refused to &ocept either. The Count certainly could not go, because he. did not know the only practicable way to St. Polten, that through Martin's Loch. Her father might be ready and willing to die, but not so she, nor, if she judged aright, the Cou|)t either. So Truda looked carefully to her revolver, which had been her father's during the yfar and slipped It loosely into the pocket of

her coat, ready to her hand. Then she put ea the short mountaineer's kilt la which A* had eo eft en gone to the hunt with her father, aod setting the man's Tyrolese hat firmly on her head she stood ready. After all it was only fifty steps across the and fifty through the wood to the beginaing of the deft, and fa the quick-coming' dusk she would be tbere ia a moment.

The dark tomes swiftly enough among the wooded foothtus of St. Polten. The MB waa already aet and the brows

were cooling into blue with the rising of the night mist out of the hollow places. Truda laid her plans rapidly. She arranged her half-dozen guns in a row and discharged them one after the other, lifting them in turn to her shoulder and firing them into the belt of woodland through which she meant to run.. The Count came anxiously upstairs to see if she had precipitated a general engagement But all was still and quiet not even the shaking of & branch betrayed the presence of the lurking foe.

The girl asked the Count to accompany her downstairs for a moment There was something to be done with which he could help her. So they went below, and Oertrud very swiftly undid the fastenings of the back door Of the chalet Then standing on the doorstep she said, "Now I mean to go down to St Polten by Martin's Loch to bring up the cavalry. Shut the door swiftly after me!" And with that she was gone out of his sight, melting into the dusk like a shadow.

CHAPTER Vn.

THE CLEFT OF ST. MARTIN, The Count stood a moment where she had left him in speechless amasement Then hs took a hurried step or two in the direction of the wood, as though to follow and bring the madcap back, £ut the folly of this proceeding immediately forced itself on him. He could not hope to catch her. He knew nothing of the way by which she had gone. He would be leaving the chalet open and undefended, with no one but a wounded man within.

He bolted the door therefore add rah up to the higher window which had been Oertrud'8. 'Cautiously he looked out and listened. The night was very still. Not a breath of air whispered among the pine trees "Cuckoo! cuckoo!"

The voice of the bird came from the direction in whiqh the girl had vanished. The Count took it for a good omen, and the prayer of his heart became a thanksgiving. "That was little Trudchen's voice," said Alt Karl, when the Count St. Polten reentered the room where, in the darkness, the old man still kept his keen vigil, peering out of the open window across the narrow space which divided them from the woods,

Then the Count told Alt Karl all that his Oertrud had done. But the old soldier showed no sign of emotion. "It is in the hands of Ood," he said. "Did she take the revolver?" "It is at least gone from,.the place," replide the Count -f- J',f| V. "Then she may Indeed' e, as may 'we all," said her father "bu therwise I am not greatly afraid for Tri

Rarely had Oertrud's beat so wildly as when she dashed ac the lawn into the thick blackness of woods. Her hand was on her pistol, 1 she knew that she risked infinitely more tk in her own life upon the issue ot her qur *t She might, for Instance, for all she knev un straight into the arms of the cruel a lurking foe. She might chance upon the at which a score of them lay hidden. J' .rtheless she sped swift-footed towards wall of leaves, and in a moment she .doping low to take the plunge,

Suddenly out ol arkness, a little way to the right, two emerged and looked towards the chalet. Their eyes caught the flash of her figure darting past. Without a word they closed in upon her, compelling her to enter- the woods a little more to the left than she had intended. So that instead of having thick woods all the way to the cleft's mouth, she had to cross an open space of twenty yards across.

When Gertrud emerged upon this little woodland cirque, where a thousand times afe a child she had spread out her cups and baked her mudpies In her girlish playings at housewife, she almost tripped over half a dozen men all lying on the grass. She swerved "to the right in order to avoid them. One or two sprang after her with growls like wild beasts, and to avoid these new assailants Truda had to dodge between her first pursuers. She could hear them crashing after her in the wrong direction. She bent her head till she was running almost double. Truda kept the side of Martin's cleft for a hundred yards before plunging into it, letting herself down by the branches of trees and bushes into its depths, and clinging perilously with her knees to every jutting crag and point of limestone rock.

Her pursuers came blundering after. She could hear theta calling In prison slang the one to the other. But they serched in vain, for not one of them was a mountain man or trained in the ways of the woods.

When Gertrud Richter reached the gravelly bottom of the cleft of St. Martin she found the,rivulet wholly dried up by the long beats of summer. Here in a secure recess she waited full five minutes to let the heat of pursuit pass by, and there in the stillness which ensued she cried twice

wuckoo!" in exact Imitaiion of the bird. was the note of hope which had cheered :he heart ot the Count, hearing it from the window ot the beleaguered chalet

Very swiftly the giri made her way along the cleft, which, as in the manner of such places in limetsone districts, now opened out into a ravine with precipitous sides, now contracted into a passage little wider than a tunnel, and anon debouched quite unexpectedly upon the bare side of a precipitous' cliff.

But the latter not unexpectedly to Oertrud Richter. Many a time had she clambered down to the steep break-neck path, which led almost to the roofs of St. Polten. There it was at last. Through the narrow half overgrown opening of St. Martin's Loch, Truda could see the lights of St. Poltea glimmering beneath her. She even heard the band playing—that of the regiment which she had risked her life to summon. It seemed as if she could almost cry down to them, they were so near. She could see the bright lights of the cafe, and the officers sitting in front of at the little nnrnd tables, smoking with crossed legs and no doubt talking infinite scandal.

But there was a hard climb yet to come— and what made it much more diflicult, she had to climb down, net

But little Oertrud grasped the edge of the sill of St. Martin's Loch and let herself drop with confidence over the bare scarp of the cleft Her feet did not quite reach the next ledge, so she let go, with a catch in her throat lest in the years since last she had [CONTINUED ON SEVENTH PAGE.]

(her n*d Fan While Baffled Wondered Where They Were In Outing is told the story of a pair of foxes that for a time, at any rate, enjoyed the sport of a fox hunt The togs jumped them, but after awhile the trail ended at a pond.

About the center of the pond was a bent tree, the two ends of which were in the water, while the highest point of the curve was perhaps 20 feet above the pond. The dogs were working about the pond, looking for the trail, and the men were looking, too, and they were beginning to feel rather curious, especially as every few moments they would hear a fox yelp sharply. It seemed to be a derisive bark, which it probably was. After awhile a movemegfein the top of the curve of the tree in tn ed attention.

Upon this tree," the amount continues, 'seated oomfortably at the point of its highest curve, was an old dog fox. The cunning rascal had traveled across the pond on the logs, then scaled the bent tree, and while .we watched he jerked his goodly brush up and down and barked bis derision at the whole performance. After awhile we saw his vixen seated on an adjacent log. They were simply watching thq futile efforts ci our pack to locate them, and, likely enough, they enjoyed the experience.''

One of the men got up wind from the animals and his scent drove them out The dogs took the male fox's trail and drove it at last to a log spanning a ditch, on which a man was sitting. The fox did not see the motionless man till dose enough to be reaohed, when, with a frantic leap sideways into the water, he escaped the grab. The raoe did not last long then. The wet fox gave off a strong, easily followed scent, and the wet brush was like a piece of lead, so the animal was killed by the dogs while the men rushed in afoot to get a closer view. iV
