Greensboro, N. 0., Nov. 6__Repub­lican headquarters for the state, which lias been maintained here by Gilliam Grissom, secretary of the. state com­mittee, since the last election, now boasts a -new sign. This is an elec­trically lighted board, about three feet square, with an elephant painted upon both sides. Upon the side of the animal that represents the once dominant national party is the word “Republican” in large letters and un­der this in smaller characters, “H’d’q’t’s.” The last abbreviation or contraction has aroused considerable speculation. Mr. Grissom stoutly contends that it means “ headquar­ter.'?,” but tt> the thirsty it suggests r.uch things as “ hundred quarts.'1 This quantity of anything designed to | quench thirst, however, would be so small that it would not begin to sup­ply the demand that would be made on a state political organization.

To Mr. Grissom the prospects of jthe grand old party in 1916 are ro­seate. He is sending the paper pub­lished by the state committee, "The Protectionist,” to every county in the state and the organization or indi­viduals arc- paying for a large circu­lation list. Early in the spring a vigorous state campaign will be com­menced and this wiil be carried for­ward during the summer In a lively manner in those congressional dis- .licts where th?

UNCLAIMED LETTERS.

Sixth. Because it would destroy man’s chivalry toward woman, it he did noi have to carry all her things in his pockets.

Seventh. Because men are men, and women are women. We must not fly in the face of nature.

Eighth. Because pockets have been used to carry tobacco, pipes, -whiskey flasks, chewing: gum and eompromis isyj letters. We see no reason to sup­pose that women would use them more wisely.—From “Are Women People?” by Alice Duer Miller.

Some men associate a man’s char­acter with his opinion; they are two different things. One is formed bywhat he does the other by what he(thinks.

A man is only as strong as his weaker .nature.

IT ’S RUNNING VET.

Old Zeke Perkins sold his logs one day, and the gosh darned fool threw his money right away. He rode into town sitting on a board, and came riding home in a darn litle Ford. When he came to the house and up to the gate, he shut down the throtle and put on the brake; he grabbed for the rein, got the throttle instead and the dam litle Ford kept chugging ahead. I

Zeke jerked on the levers and he 'turned on the gas, he kicked &t the pedal and he broke out the glass; he cut all the wires and he pulled off the ’top, but the gosh dafned Ford juut wouldn’t stop. He pulled ouShia knife and smiled serene, cut a hole in the tank, drained out the gasoline, he pulled out his gun and shot the tires full of leiad, hut the gol darn Ford kept chuggin’ ahead.—Walnut Cove News.

The man in love always thinks and feels that she, of all others, under* stands him. She generally does, as that is a part of love’s business.

Prolonged courtship is not much of an aid in discerning character, each is on their bestt behavior, dressed, body and mind, in their best raiment.

A man often uncovers his own char­acter when he explains another’s.

Happily the Presi.lent’s program of rational defense is not likely to be op-| posed by any Republican and wit I pos- !

I s:-hly have their solid support. They way dissent from the details of his plan, but the principle of putting thc nation in a position wherein it can ef­fectively defend itself i f attacked is so firmly in accord with Republican feeling and conviction that there can J be little doubt that the President's na­tional defense program will be ap­proved if it gets only a moderate sup­port from the Democrats in House and i Senate.

Strictly party measures such as were dragooned through the last Con ­gress and kept it in almost continu­ous session for two years will not have the same good fortune at this session. We doubt if any part o f the Proident’s unfinished program of the ljut Congress wUl'cut much figure in this one. The shippurSfmae bill prob-

! ably will reappear in a modified form, but with less chance of adoption than j it had in the last Congress. The La

| Follette Act should be repealed and the tariff law modified. The Presi­dent’s support witi be necessary to any affirmative legislation, but his wsll will not have the autocratic pow- jer -that it had in the last Congress and i f he wants to make sure •oi any 'measure passing he will find it pru- ,'dent to have it so framed as to win the support of Republicans.

lay the basis for his address to Con jgicss, which according to his custom probably will be delivered in person before a jo'iu assembly if bocli houses.

The legislative program and ways of raising money were discussed by tbe President today with Senators .Underwood and Pomerene.

Mr. Underwood said that he did not see how a bond issue would provide f-,r increased army and navy expendi­tures, since the increase was to be, permanent.

“ The taxes will have to be increas­ed,” he said. “ I f the people want a larger army ana navy they will have t<> pay for it- Generally speaking

| changing the tariff will not meet the situation because the imports have been cut down by the war. Of course the tariff on sugar can be retained, but whether this will be done, I do- not know.”

A STARTLING STORY

We are simply men and women af­ter marriage, as before, limited, faul­ty, liable to moods and tempers and depressions.

Beginning with next Sunday’s issue of ■the Magazine Section is the new serial story, “The Sting o f The Ser­pent," from the pen of J. O. G. Duffy. This story is highly, interesting and simply teems with thrills and true actuations. All of the fiction appear­ing in “The Philadelphia Press” Mag­azine. Section each Sunday has been unusually worth-while reading, but this latest story is by long odds the best yet printed, and is sure to prove the story sensation of the year. Re-

Durham has a resident who haa the distinction of being plaintiff in three divorce cases, the first divorce of W. L. Cates came in ISOS, when he se­cured absolute separation from Fannie Cates. On the same day that this verdict was rendered he re-courted and re-married Fannie Cates. Later he secured another divorce from Fannie Cates, making it twice that he married and divorced the same woman. He is now suing Doreia Cates, his third le­gal, but really second w ife for ab­solute divorce.—Chapel Hill Letter.

i One of the most ingenious bits of | gossip that have been circulating in j Washington since the announcement of the engagement of Mrs. Edith Bol-

! ling Galt to the President is that the ! chief executive, consciously or uneon- ; sciously, “ cut out” Dr. Cary Grayson,J the handsome young Virginia naval officer who is the White House phy­sician. Dr. Grayson had been show­ing the lovely widow a "»ood deal of attention, and it was through him chat she became acquainted at thi White Hcuse.

Those who relate this variant of the romance which is interesting Americans more than iny other clinch its appeal with the thetorical ques­

tion . What chances could a poor young naval surgeon have against the Presi­dent uf the United States in a Con­tes' .or a woman’s hand?

None of the parties concerned is likely to affirm or deny the story or to pay any attention to it, and thore. is no harm in giving it for what it is worth in the Old Dominion, the moth-, er State o f all three.

Woman is considered the cusixidian of customs, that, is of conditions as they are. Men are willing to accept woman’s position as establish by precedent and man made rules.

A man in moderate circumstances, with a large family, always needs a larger home than he can affc-rd. Whea fortune favors him, J>e no longer needs the big home. Marriage and death have rendered a large liome useless, having taken its toll. Another man stints all his life to build a fine home. When it is finished, too often, it is too late—he dies.

Jordan, of this city, is to devote his time to the special medico! inspection work among the public schools in va­rious counties as these inspections are undertaking under the plan of co­operation between the county authori­ties ar.d the state board o f health. And in order to especially equip him­self for this work he has been spend-! estimated yesterday that no lessing some time in Philadelphia tafcin a special course of training under Dr. Charles Cornel), who is at tbe head of the school inspection work in the city of Philadelphia.

Dr. Jordan’s first inspection work is to begin at once in Alamance coun­ty and preliminary to the starting of this special work there were distrib­uted t i all the schools special bulle­tins featuring a catechism on health matters and a comprehensive health day program to be observed in the schools.

More Firemen Injured.When the excitement of the des­

perate fight against the blazes died away yesterday, it appeared that four instead of two firemen had been hurt. Paul Scott and Ernest Bridgers had worked desperately on

campaign.

Melancholy Aunt Clara from the country had the habit of listening to the big clock on the town hall in the village where she was visiting and exclaiming every time it struck:

■‘Eternity dratvs one hour nearer.’ ’ Clarence was very much impressed

with that solemn reflection. One day

hut was not confined to his bed, Mr. Scott, on the other hand, awoke yes­terday with intense pain in his knees u-here he had been hurt ’.i’hen hurhd to the ground by sudden increase of pressure on a nozzle. He work 'd during the fire with tine disregard ;f h:s injuries. Yesterday morning

“Oh, Aunt Clara,” he said, excite- ly, “eternity has got a move on to­day.”

RETURN TO WORK.

A modest man, would sooner expose his naked body, rather than his naked soul.

“Thc president's appeal was hot to th:; members of his party, but to peo­ple of al! shades of opinion." de­clared .Mr. Bryan. “ When,” he ask- ed, “did it become unpatriotic for a citizen to differ from a president ? When did it become disloyal for a democrat to differ from a democratic president on an issue which the pre- ident declares t» be non-partisan?”

This w ill be the position o f the

B ry an fo llo w in g in Congress, ac­

cord ing to th® judgm ent o f adm inis­

unless they have another split at the national convention or put up a can­didate offensive to one of their two distinct factions, they will confront the Democracy in 191G with a prac­tically united front. When the Re­publicans do this, the strongest Dem­ocrat. ir bound to. have o very hard fight to win. President Wilson’s friends say that he is stronger than the Democratic party. In some ways he undoubtedly is, but his ability to carry the country against an undivid­ed opposition has yet to b“ demon­strated. The wise leaders in both of the great poltical camps are discount­ing all of the “walkover” talk thsit is heard and are looking forward tn a red hot and close contest.

If Mr. Wilson will accept a renomi­nation it is his without the asking. All of the practical politicians believe he will accept it, though rumors to the contrary persist because of the one- term plank in the Baltimore platform- On the Republican side, while the Burton boom is being pur.hed in the center and the Weeks and Boran booms on the respectve winjrs, there is a significant increase in the cur­rent in favor of the nnmination of 'histicc Hughes of the .Supreme Court as the strangest all-i-Oir.d ligure in

Tbe party consisted of Dr. R. H. Thigpen, Dr. Charles H. Miller and two chauffeurs, A l Wilson and J. D. Pylant.

General Villa flew into a rage. Doc­tor Thigpen said, when he learned that the Americans could not guaran-

C Kit.MANS KKGItRT REPORT,FRIENDS CROOM WHITLOCK

Washington. Nov. S.— Secretary Lansing announced today that the German military authorities in Bel­gium had expressed to American Min­ister Brand Whitlock their regrets that published reports should have it appear evident he was leaving Bel­gium as the result, of objections from the German government.

Politicans here today connected return o f Brand Whitlock from Bel­gium with gossip that he is to be groomed for second place on the next national Democratic ticket.

Leading Ohio Democrats have been urging Whitlock for the vice presi­dential nomination for &>me weeks and the movement is attracting the support of many progressive Demo- ratic leaded throughout the coun­try.

In these days of organization foi1 mutual co-operation, every city iias its Chamber of Commerce or" BAard of Trade for the purpose o f promot­ing local commercial interests, to en­courage the development o f local in­dustries and invite new enterprises to befein operations in the local field. All these organizations ur<jo a' policy expressed by the phrase, •‘Patronize H<ime Industries.” Every local mer­chant, banker, and mechanic preaches the doctrine. Every newspaper gives columns of space to arguments de­signed to induce its readers to buy from local merchants. It is sound economic sense for the community, for the county, for the state, and for the nation.

.Naturally, it is a severe aback • lo. people who. luive contributed of their iiard earned money to build up this sentiment,'when they see Government officials using government money to foster Swiss industries. Not that the American- people have any prejudice ■whatever against Swiss toys. Far fro;n it.

Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 8.— Capt lin George Wilson of the steam barge Mary Ann, just arrived in Bridgeport from Brunswick, Ga., reported today that he sighted the auxiliary yawl Eclipse on which six interned German officers recently escaped from Norfolk as he was 'off Frying Pan Shoals, North Carolina, a week ago last Sun­day.

Although positive in his identifica­tion of the vessel, with which he is very familiar. Captain Wilson has not yet notified tho State Department e f the sighting of the fugitive officers craft. Captain Wilson stated that he sighted the yaw! during a heavy wine storm. She seemed to be having a hard time keeping her deck above water. Thc barge captain bore down upon the Eclipse intending to throw

New York, Nov. 8.— President Wilson opened the Administration campaign for its National defense program in a comprehensive and care­fully prepared address delivered here; at the Manhattan Club ban<)uet. Ho declared solemnly . that the United States had no aggressive purposes, but must be prepared to defend itself! in order to. assume “full liberty and self-development.” Significantly, he said that “ with ourselves in this great matter we associate all the people of our own.hemisphere/’ adding thet. "we wish not only for the United States but for them the fullest freedom of independent growth of action;" '

The President was received with enthusiastic applause as he entered the banquet hall ahd during his ad­dress.

Two incidents stand out in the farm­ing experiences “of W ill 'Edwards, of Lee county, North Carolina. Both were valuable lcsaans driven home by experience. In 1901, when cotton was his chief crop, his yield from twer.ty- one acres was only seven issUi. That was a convincing lesson in favor of diversification. The other experience came in 1913, when he traveled: ail Cue way to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to interest commission merchant^ lia the Southern sweet potato— only to return home and create a local mar­ket. Wiese two reverses were bij? factors in establishing his future sue - cess with sweets. :

When Mr. Edwards first began growing sweet .potatoes for the hotne market he was looked upon as. a fad­dist. For fifteen years, however, he had supplied his own community as well as other towns throughout the state with sweet potato plants for bedding. Why could not the vege­table itself be grown at a profit? How well this one-horse fanner did crea.ta a ueniar.d finds abundant testimony in figures. He has. kept records on his two-acre potato field. Here are the figures for the year, 1914:

use would be universally hailed as a bcnefact-r. Such an exchange

Turner had a box camera for which he had; paid $28. It was a perfectly good camera and gave satisfactory re­sults but he grew tired of it and in-.* serted an advertisement in the ex- change-and-sale columns of . a news­paper. Not long afterwards the own­er of a white elephant in the shape of an organ called to talk business with him. It didn’t take theiri long ito close a bargain and Turner found himse'.f the possessor of an or^an. In time, however, the music of the organ began io pall on him and he swap­ped it for a bicyc’e. After tiding the bicycle a while he yielded to the long­ing for music which had returned an ! exchanged the vehicle for a phono­graph and a bunch of records, get­ting ?25 to boot.

The phonograph was a.l right but when it. came into his possession Tur­ner began to see the possibilities ir. a continuous exchange of property und determined to keep right on. He con­tinued to patronize the advertising columns of the paper and in a short time the phonograph became the prop­erty o f an Englishman who gave in return for it three good old paintings. Turner really ditn’t realize th» value of these works of art until he was offered eight buifting lots for them. Ha quickly relinquished title to the pictures, however, and became owner of the real estate. In a short time he traded this property to a man and his wife, for an automobile that had cost $4,000.

Turner and his family enjoyed rid- !■■.£ in the machine for six months. Then they decided it would he moie fun to ride ir: a motorboat. An ad was inserted in the paper as a matter .of course and in a - trice the auto was turned over to a man who gave a 30- foot moUivbOat in exchange for it. The family enjoyed this for quite a while and then some one made a cash offer cf $575 for it. Turner promptly sold the boat and with part o f the pro­ceeds bought a smaller one.

At last accounts Turner was rest­ing on his laurels, well satisfied with the results of his trading for, in ad­dition to the motorboat he had ac­cumulated enough money to buy a number o f cameras if he had wanted them. Besides, fee says, he had lots of fun out of the experiences and at the same time had the use of every one of the articles that passed through his hands in the series of exchanges. Best of all, every one concerned was perfectly satisfied and glad to'make the exchanges.

Just before the dinner the Presi­dent shook hands with all the guests, including Charic-s F . Murphy.

Not long ago a legal light in Wash­ington had occasion to call upon a cer­tain official of the treasury department

, whose softly modulated voice had ! gained him the designation of “ the ; silent one.”' Tho messenger to this official stopv i| ped the lawyer as he was going into the room, saying that his chief was “ not in.”

“Oh, yes, he is,” said the lawyer, “he’s in there!” and he pointed to the room, the inside of which was not visible from where he stood.

“ But, sir—but,” began the puzzled and bewildered messenger, “how do you know that?”

“ Because,” chuckled the visitor, “ It ’s so still in there?”

That old proverb that many a bril­liant brain rests beneath a battered and torn hat was exemplified the other day very forcibly before a crowd in a Chestnut Street car.

A ragged old man. with torn hat and bewhiskered face was intoxicated and able to navigate only with difficulty. Finally, after he had become settled ii! bis seat, he began to amuse the pas­sengers by his gesticulations and sud­denly announced his intention tn “sbing."

At once an amused expression pas­sed over the faces of the passengers. That a drunken old tramp like that could sing seemed to border o the im-

Before the Bali.In her hotel, albeit something o f a

subject ot gossip, as she herself could not but know*. K itty fe lt herself at least safe from any such occurrences as o f late had been *her lot. Roleau still was missing.

I t was the morning o f the great black and white ball when K itty, her gown finally in her own possession, stood before the ta ll m irror in her rooms to g ive it its final proving.

T b e case on her dressing table now held but a few simple rings and

who importune me 3n these serious brooches, trifling things which hadtimes, the people being so discontent­ed, we have matters o f more impor­tance than to trifle w ith this trinket, as I say. You desire it. It bores me. W ho better than yourself should own U i f you like?”

K itty stood looking at him, scarce believing what he said. K ing M i­chael went on:

* Tw o things interest me today, my near Iady. First, how to quiet ray people; the second, to discover some fashion which shall keep you here in our own country, interested and use­ful. I am convinced o f your own w is­dom. your o * n justice— your own ex­perience in your land as to law and llbe: t and justice. Sometimes out o f the ..iouth o f a woman— a lady of ran!;, o f experience— one m ight learn the better how to carry on the duties o f v. state.”

“And the duties or ihe state would

been given her or which from tim e to tim e »he had purchased fo r her­self

The only thing o f value which lay upon the table was something which she most wished to conceal, and not to display. The broken coin— how could site make sure that it would he safe?

K itty sw iftly conceived a plan which she fancied would afford greater safe* ty fo r the cherished coin. There was at hand no machinery o f ceremony, even had she been fam iliar with it. “ T h e simplest way is the best.” said she to herseif. her lips compressed.

She sat at her desk and inclosed the broken coin in a doubl# sheet of paper. Upon one sheet she wrote these fe tf words:

“ Your Majesty, the young American woman so honored with this g ift asks its safekeeping for a little time.”

Che *44*4 so oiCBfttwe, hat ea Qmenvelope—the beat the H otel Hit* cculd furnish her— she wrote * simpleaddress: “ For the King, at the Royal Palace, to be delivered at tw e lve uiid* ( uight promptly.” j

In fault o r better m essenger K i t t y ! telephoned now to the bureau of te le * ! graphs and asked fo r a reliable mes- { seuger. W hen presently be came she j entrusted this m issive to him with 1 express instructions that he should : leave it iii the hands o f some chosen ; servant o f the king who would b e ! sure to, de liver it at the hour o f mid- 1 night o f that very day. I

The man listened respectfully, took j the. missive, and started for the door. ■ Passing, he almost ran against a gen*' ttemau iu the hall,, and dropped hU on- velbpo as he did so. 1

“ Your pardon/* exclaimed the gen*.’ ’ tleman.. raising his -hat;, and him self: picked up the envelope. The m essen­ger did hoc notice bis fingers, quickly.. closing upon, it, feeling it here and ' there as he presented it to the bearer.

Relieved* now o f this care, and sat­isfied that her plan would provide for the safety o f this prized possession for that night at least— K itty passed oa. to other matters.

O f what use, a fter all; was half this coin, while tbe Count Frederick still retained the other half-^-taken from her by force, by violence?

She stood for a time, her fingers at her lips, engaged in thought. ;?I am going direct to Count Frederick him­self and ask him fo r the other half o f the coin. He knows the king has givt?a me his half— perhaps he will re­lent and let me match the king’s half o f the txretzhoffen coin.”

'W ith her to think was to act. A half hour later, ready robed fo r the street, she was in her car and on her way to the palace p f Count Frederick.

They knew her at the count's palace now— or thought they knew' her—and so no questions were asked when she applied at the door. Pending the com­ing o f tne count, who was at home, as she learned, she was shown to a re- ception room close to the entry dOGr.As she sat here, she heard footsteps approaching, heard voices in conver­sation She knew that Count Freder­ick >\us there, but not alone.

Kitty listened shamelessly— for now indeed all was fa ir in war fo r her in case like this.

She heard Count Frederick address his companion as “ My Lord Minister/* and again as “ Danislaw,” so knew that i i was none other than the prim*' min­ister o f GretzhofTen with whom he was conversing.

“ My friend,” she heard a bard, in- cisi* e voice declare, "this ball tonight is the crowning mistake o f the entire year. It may mean ihe ruin o f Grelz- hoffen. I tell you. Count Frederick, revolution is in the air. The people are demanding the answer to all their sufferings, to their poverty, their anxieties. That answer, ;f w e da not use every means to change it, surely will be written red !”

“ Hut what plan do you prr>poae, my lord minister? What can I do?“

"Ono thing Let me bc blunt and brie f—-hav.i the kins sober tonight! I i^hame tu say those words--hut those are my words to you. Have our mon­arch -w hom wc reverence-- sober to­night! I)' the people see him drunken, i f they f;nd him cureless, indifferent, in times like this— pouf!— revolution.I toil you, and the answer wriuv-n with Jhe pt n o f blood."

Count Frederick apparently paused at this. There wa.s a hint >>( some­thing suppressed in his voice when at length he did reply.

“ My lord minister, I ’ ll see the king!** ' K itty thought that now they clasped

hands. She heard the prime minister departing, each g iving thc other for­mal words o f courtesy.

Xow she heard Frederick e.sliing to his servants.

“ Kubinoff, Franko—any o f you ras­cals— well, you, Itubinoff. C«o at once to the apartments o f ths Count Sachio and ask him if he w ill join me at : once.”

K itty, still trem bling in suppressed excitement, waited yet longer before | declaring herself. She heard Freder- j ick pacing-up and down in tbe room, i muttering #5 himself— heard also a fter '

A t the Black and W hite Bail

— 1 have made my plans. My own regi­ments will be faithful. The regiments o f the king are none too faithful The banditti o f the desert are with us. To­morrow there w ill be a new king in Gretzhoffen, .and that king will be—* Frederick the First."

K itty slipped from the room. The hall was empty. An Instant later she was out o f the great entry and passing to her car

A t her hotel once more she hurried to her room Here waa somewhat to be done. She knew the plot now— all was plain as to the intentions o f Fred­erick in regard to the kingdom o f Gretzhoffen and to the monarch who held the throne,

“ Your majesty/’ she wrote in her. rolling hand now, “ the young Am eri­can so much honored by your g ift— which Is returned to your care at mid­night tonight -has by chance learned o f a plot to injure your majesty and to injure the kingdom o f Gretzhoffen as» well. Trust her to explain when op­portunity shall come. Meantime have the word of one who is solicitous for your safety. Drink no wine. Beware.1’

Once more she telephoned to the bureau o f telegraphs, called fo r a mes­senger. and sent feer simple m issive to the king.

C H APTE R X III.

A Prisoner.Having dispatched her messages.

K itty Gray sat alone once more in her room. There came to her miad once more the reflection that now she had not even one portion of the broken coin. As to that which had gone to the king she fe lt fairly sure that sh^ might regain it. As to that which had been taken from her by force by Count Frederick, she was far us ever from its possession.

“ The simplest way is the best.” said she once more, “ i ’ ll go back then* again.”

I wa**- not *0 fortunate as to tind monsieur the count at honn-* before." tiie e\pl;.itxd to the attendants whu met her at Mt** dour.

A stuhh n uvuhnien came to K ittyV mind < ven a sudden Hush < nnu‘ to her cheek.

"So? T ii.u l will wait his coming, i f you please, apartments o f mon­sieur the count.”

The man left her, and she closed the door. An instam later she was at work turning . over the articles on the dresser, peering here and there, look­ing this wav and th*u —und unsuccess- lully.

Hut meantime ihe attendant who had left her. ur.Mious to be of scrvice to his master, j ent out posthaste to summon Count Frederick to his re­turn. He met tie* count himself, and yet another attendant, upon the point o f entering the palace. The newcomer was talking to the count excitedly.

“ Excellency, 1 tell you the woman ia outwitting you. She sent her half the ooin this very morning— sent it to the king by special messenger. I saw

“ Come." SMid Frederick, and he hastened the more when he aiRt the

Ick greet him"Ali, Sachio. yuu are welcome in- '

"Command me, my dear Frederick." “ I ask you, my dear Sachio, to do

Count Sachio laughed loud and long. “ Fbr what purpose, my good Fred­

H er search still uncompleted, K itty heard footsteps approaching, and tam ed desperately like some trapped animal. There waa no escape— the narrow window, as she knew, was tw o stories above the court below. And aven as she stepped to the door she met there the smiling, sardonic face o t Count Frederick himself.

She went to the window and looked out iuto the night. A li the court was dark— save one window directly below her on the opposite side, fifteen feet below, ten feet across the narrow w iT tw ty . Even as sho looked down

at it £he saw a face thrust out— a face upturned to wards her.

"W a lt," lie cried. “ I w ill show you.”An iron grating, with the stairs o f

The BallroomIn his own apartments that evening

Michael the king had passed the time in somew hat preoccupied fashion. Left alone. »nd lienee unhappy in his coun­sels. he weleomed the announcement of the chamberlain who advised him of the preseii"" o f the Count Sachio o f firalmfl'eii. who wished to pay his com­pliments to the kitiir

" ( ’•line (hen. my dear count.’ said Michael to him. ’Yon are very V\‘-1 - m ine at this hour You will have a Kliiss of onr own vintage— 1 ha-.e a eas!; o f i.ueoyen which is quite worth w h ile"

' Witn all my In art.’' t-;jid Count Saehio

The atter.Mani removed the cork frt'iM the bulilo reverently, poured slowly, gently, the amber fluid into ihe tall rUi-^e^ !H'On tin1 table. It was at that pioiix.m that King Michael be. thought him o:' a certain message handed te hii-i lust left, until now un- <>P“ ii«-d. He froi> nod as he looked nt Ihe word. irre\creel when addressed In royalty, and urging haste. • "Im­portant ’ Is it so? What shall ! do. n:y dear count" Throw it away?”

Count Sachio oast a glance upon the inscripiien.

"Your maiestv." said he. " it is in the hand of a lady. Hy no means throw awav any letter a woman writes to you—ami by no means write one. yourself. Am 1 not good coun­sel?"

Smiling. King Michael broke open the small hotel seal, frowning as he did so at what seemed to him undue fam iliar­ity on the part o t someone, lie knew not.who. Hut as his eyes ran over the few lines o f the message his ex­pression suddenly changed. The words remained deeply written on his mind. “ Your majesty . . . young Ameri­can , . drink no wine."

fo u n t Sachio loo ted on respectfully, his glass arrested, naturally venturing no comment. K in g Michael made no effort to turn the conversation. H e le ft hie w ine untasted!

“ Indeed, our people also are grow­ing in audacity.” w ent on Count Sachio presently. “ But I p led je yeur maj­esty a long and happy reign.'* H * raised hia glass acd waited.

“ Drink heartily, good Count Sachio,” said K ing Michael. "A s fo r m yself. I have dined but lately, ss I said. Tha doctors say dreadful things to me. You excuse m e?"

K e had poured but a small portion in his own glass, and raised his hand against more.

Sachio was obliged to admit to Couut Frederick, whom now be early sought, that he doubted the full suc­cess o f his errand.

"Leave him then to me." ex­claimed Frederick— “ he never fails to do as I ask. Make ready for the ball — time presses now. I m yself w ill hasten to see the king before he leaves tor the w inter palace."

Frederick, making vrpent excuses now to enter the aparttneifls o f th e king a fter his arrival, found the mon­arch in the same apartment, stolidly regarding tiie now empty bottle o f wine.

A certain idea came to the brain o f Michael, the king, as he now ac­knowledged the vis it o f Count Fred­erick at so late an hour. I f this message had w arneu him not to drink wine— then there must be soaieons in

!fc» w orld who wished K fn to 4nckwine. W hy? Who waa that p en o «T M ight ft net be this man here—Coast Frederick—the man whom r a l ly he feared? I f so, would not feigned te- toxica tion serve w ell to discover th * other's nature?

Reasoning thus. K ing Michael w itk small exertion of histrionic art man­aged to g ive au excellent imitation to his . friend o f a monarch fa r gone in wine. Frederick, pleading fatigue and . thirst, plied him farther, and Michael apparently yielded, using still such arts as served him for tlie time be­ing.

When, not too long before the .ap\ pointed hour o f midnight, Frederick le ft the palace, he le ft behind him as he was assured, a monarch hopelessly fuddled.

So the lights named on at a ll tbewindows o f the W inter palace:

Suddenly the music, broke, crashed and swept into the national air. A ihurmur went about! The king! The dancers hastened back to the sides o f the room. A ll eyes turned toward the great entrance.

. U nder'th e festooned- flags, escort­ed by his uniformed officers, himself wearing all hU decorations and garbed as a king should lie, there appeared K in g Jilchael e f Gretzhoffen.

The hour o f midnight struck. The eyes o f more than one man on the great dancing floor— including those o f Count Frederick o f Gretzhoffen— looked at the king amazed. Here was no staggering monarch, maudlin in his cups, come to make a spectacle o f h im self before his people. No, he walked straight as any. And behind him from the street there came not shouts o f derision, but something o f welcome, o f confidence— a pitiful ex­pression of a people w illing yet lon#e e r to endure a King.

A t the king’s side, her hand on his arm, there walked the figure o f a tall and beautiful woman, arrayed—as were ali those others present—-in a costume of black and white—a tall young woman whom not many ot those present recognized. A few passed the word, "T h e A m erican !"

The music o f the royal anthem ceased. An instant and the orchestra broke out once more in the sensuous strains o f a southern waltz. K in s Michael as yet did not dance, but he gave word that the ball should pro­ceed. A uniformed officer o f the court now approached Count Frederick as he stood not far removed from th * royal presence,

"Monsieur, the count," said he de­ferentially, ' "1 have had for some hours in niv possession this package which I nave not opened. It la marked to be presented to his majesty at m id­night here. Do you think ir should be delivered?"

lCven as they syoke the king him­self, accompanied, in accordance w ith his request. by the young woman who

She Heard Frederick Calling to H is Servants.

had entered with him, approached Count Frederick. He raised a hand to beckon to tbe official.

“ Your m ajesty," whispered K itty Gray, "that is the package which I m yself sent you this morning—take It quickly— 1 marked it fo r you at mid­night.”

“ Shall 1 open it fo r your majesty?” Count Frederick bent forward polite­ly.

“N o," said .Michael. " I know the one who sent it. L et herself open it n ow ! "

K itty broke the simple seal upon tbe plain envelope' in which she bad enclosed the coin that morning. She smiled at Michael radiantly now, and at Count Frederic!-', though not ra­diantly.

The dance swept on, the crash of reed and brass filling the arched dome o f the great salon. In through the great doors came the cries of those not splendidly garbed, those who stood without tbe palace— "Long live the k in g !"

But the king stood curiously regard­ing the change in expression which he saw cn the face o f the young Amer-era.

"W ell, then, mademoiselle?" said he.(TO BE CONTINUED.)

Brdigeport, Conn^ Nov. (>.—An operation for appc*ndscitis performed on Ralph Von Hacht, aged 23( of Milford, has resulted in the restoring of the young man of the sight of one eye which had been blind since his birth.

The operation, was performed, by Dr. Francis Campbell and members o f th<> staff of Trinity Hospital, Now York. When the physicians removed Von Kacht's appendix several weeks ago, they had no idea that they were going to restore his sight. It seems, how- evjerf that the appendix had been rest ­ing against one of the large nerves j that form part of the System-which

| connects with the optic nerves.' After the operation. Von Hachtf fo.: the first time in his life, distinguished darkness from light with his blind eye. Soon he began to see objects with the eye.. He was warned by the doctors not to exert his “ blind eye too inuch but to allow it to grow stronger grad­ually. He said t^day that the “blind” eye was nearly as good as the other

M i t TAFT OUT OF POLIT*CS. .A

1 Chicago, Nov. 10.— Former Presi- 'dent William H. Taft told a newspaper man here tonight that he was out of politics and added:

“ As a citizen I may say without qualification that Elihu Boot, of New York, is the one man. who answers the requirements of the time for the Presidency.”

Mr. Taft said he looked for a Re­publican victory in 1916. ;

A first wife may be a need,A second wife, proves man’s greed, A third wife calls for heed,A fourth wife, bad in-deed.

That man is wise in his day that learns from the past.
