MY DL : A//OKZZAZATICW OF 7'//[ AAY J%Y /YOIflAZé'fl 75Y WL O MESEIT -3¢ CHAPTER XIV, Waiting until the coast was clear, Count von Fitz came from his hiding place and discreetly lifted the ladder. “Wait a minute,” he sald to him- self. Quietly he went into the house, | and as quietly reappeared in a few moments, carrying the hat box which Lucy bad taken from Primmer, and| which she had left in the hallway. “Brains in der head beats cash in der pocket,” he moralized. He wedged the hatbox under his arm and crawled up the ladder to the window. Tapping gently upon it, he | almost fell off the ladder when Mrs. Blazes swung it open. “Be careful, voman!” he urged. “If I fall off diss ladder on diss hat you stay in diss house for life.” “Give me the hat! Give me the hat!” Mrs Blages exclaimed. “GIf me my ring,” the count re plied. She slipped his ring from her finger and offered it to him hastily. But, with one hand clutching a round of the ladder and the other arm about the hatbox, he was hardly in & posi- tion to take it. “How can I?” he sputtered. "It iss o ring, not der mumps.” “Put the hat in the window; then you can take the ring,” she advised. “Und den you get der hat und gift me der laugh? “Nonsense!” she answered. “I nev- er want to see your ring, or you again!” “Der same to you, und many ol dem,” he retorted, swinging the hat- box around and trying to shove it through the window. She caught hold of it, also, but it was too wide to go through the opening. In the effort to torce it through the count lost his balance and came perilously near go- ing down with a crash. He saved himi- self by clutching the window frame, bowever. Mrs. Blazes fretfully said: “Clumsy! Let me show you.” She untied the string on the box, took off the 1id and took out the hat. She let the box drop to the ground, and with a little scream of delight stepped back into the room and hur- riedly donned the hat. “It's a perfect duplicate!” she said, happily. Tben, while the count was descending the ladder she started to climb out of the window, but the count stopped her. “My ring, iff you blease!” he said. “For goodness sake! Take it and let me go!” She thrust the ring into his hand, and he ran down the ladder and stead- fed it at the bottom. Mrs. Blazes carefully crept from the window, with much manipulation of her skirts, and anxiously let herself down a rung at @ time. When she was half way down she cried: “Oh! I'm scared! I'm going back!” She started up the ladder again, and the count almost fainted. He shook the ladder violently and threat- ened: “Iff you go up anudder round, I up- set it!” Timorously, she came down, and at last stood on the ground. “Oh! How heavenly it is to be free!” she exclaimed. Up the walk again stormed the gen- eral, and Mrs. Blazes at sight of him screamed, and would have climbed the ladder had mot the count caught her arm and restrained her. General Blazes had not found her at home, and had returned to hold counsel with Harry as to the best way to locate her. And now he found her in the company of the count, in Harry's lawn, with a ladder leading to a window in Harry’s house. “Aha!” he shouted. “Merciful heavens! she wailed. “Und he only buries nodding of dem but deir hats!” the count reflect- ed, keeping Mrs. Blazes between him and the general. “So!” the general roared, confront- ing her. “This has been your plan, has it?” He turned on the count vin- dictively. “Trying to inveigle my wife to climdb into that house!” “My dear, you are wrong!” Mrs. Blazes wept. “Listen a moment, and I can explain.” “Wrong? Explain? Woman, I see it all now! You have planned an elopement with this—this pretzel!” “Bretzel! Ach Gott! Und I must stand dis!” the count fumed. “What?" Mre. Blases demanded. *1 elope with that?” She pointed a scornful finger at the My husband!” Try just one) Sount. ‘Do-'tmhuhmml'm;- cnlllwul. All this noise and shouting of ocourse was heard by those ia the § house, and first Harry came running out, followed by Lucy and her father. “What in the world is happening?” Harry asked, rushing up to the ex- cited trio. “I have trapped this wretch!” Gen- | eral Blazes yelled, indicating the count with a gesture of his clenched fist. Harry, helpless, looked from one to the other. Mrs. Blazes, desperate, glanced at him and said: “Mr. Swifton can explain. nothing more to say.” She assumed an air of supreme in- difference to whatever fate might hold in abeyance for her. “Well, Harry,” the general said, “if it's up to you, tell me how this hap- pened.” “Tell you how what happened?” Harry asked, dazedly. “How does it happen that I find my wife trying to climb into your house, assisted by this—noodle.” “Noodle! Gott in Himmel! I for- get myselluf yet!" the count gritted between his teeth. “Oh! What? Trying to climb into my house?’ Harry repeated, brushing his hand over his brow. “Why—why— it must have been some kind of a joke, general. Yes—surely it was some kind of a joke.” “Joke!” the general blurted out. “But why should she want to get fnto thy house, Harry?" Lucy asked, with & bit of mischievousness, for now she knew the whole story. “Yes!” the general barked, turning to his wite. “Why should you want to get into his house?” Mrs. Blages saw light ahead. “My dear, if you will only calm “I will tell you everything. I know I have you will think I am a foolish woman— “Give Me the Hat!” Mrs. Blazes Ex- claimed. “Giff Me My Ring,” the Count Replied. but, darling, 1 have been jealous of you.” “Jealous of me?” said her liege lord. “Forgive me!” she pleaded. “But lv_hen I heard those reports about you, " “Reports? What reports?” “That you were infatuated with a milliner—MIlle. Daphne.” “I? 1 infatuated witi a milliner?” the general asked, with a look of ter ribly injured innocence. “I? Ridieu- lous!” “And I saw her enter this house this afternoon,” Mrs. Blazes contin- ued, “and then I heard that you were here—and oh, darling, forgive me' 1 came to spy on you!” “Perfectly amazing!” Harry said to himselt. “I'm in the primary class, compared to her.” “Why,” the general said. little pet!” He took his wife into hin arms. “I—I forgive you!
