is the King.p This Is the story. Two
or three weeks afterward the King was
discovered living in retirement in
small village on the shores OF Lake Lu-
cerne in Switzerland. Here he seldom
ventured out from his retreat during the
daytime, but spent his evenings and
sometimes the entire night being rowed
back and forth In a small boat on the
blue waters Of the lake, listening 10 the
winding and echoes of Alpine horns
blown by mountaineers on the shores
and on the mountain-sidcs whom he had
hired for the purpose.
A good anecdote is told of the King as
happening at his palace at Berg during
the early weeks of the past summer. III
was known that his Majesty was pas
siOnately fond of the music of nightin-
gales, and that he had often expressed
the regret that the German climate was
too severe for these beautiful songsters
of the night to thrive in his parks or the
Bavarian forests. 1t seems that one of
the soldiers whose duty it was TO guard
the palace grounds had learned TO imi-
tate the notes of these warblcrs to such
perfection that II was difficult to detect
the real from the imitation. So u sur
prise was planned for the King. One
beautiful moonlight night word was sent
10 his Majesty that a nightingale was
singing among the foliage of some trees
In the gardens adjoining the palace. He
fastened out, not daring 10 believe that
the report could be true. But 10! he
had not been misinformed. The silvery
notes of this feathered prima donna-so
wonderful, so beautiful, rich and full,
rising and falling and uilling, and at
times dying away like the distant echoes
of flute, were filling the moonlight air
with bewjtching melody. The King
stood fascinated entranced, his soul was
filled with u new ecstasy, would that
he could induce the bird to sing for
evermore.' He would have remained in
the palace grounds listening the livelong
night, but after while the nightingale
seemed to grow weary from its efforts
and its song ceased. The King was in
despair, but after few minutes rest
the bird resumed its song for u short
space and then it stopped, nor would it
be induced TO sing any more. After
waiting and waiting in vain for more OF
this enchanting music, and at last be-
coming convinced that the songster had
possibly flown away or fallen asleep
from over exertion. the King unwillingly
left the palace grounds and sought his
royal couch. The next evening, at the
same hour, his Majesty was in the
grounds again anxiously waiting and
listening for the bird to, commence a
repetition of its previous nights sere-
made, but he was doomed to disappoint-
ment, for the nightingale was silent
and refused to sing. The third night he
was more fortunate. The nightingale
warbled sweeter, louder and longer
than ever, and the King was full of
rapture once more. Then for three
nights II failed to be heard, and it was
thought that the bird must have died or
else flown away to warmer skies. The
King was In despair and offered heavy
rewards for its return, but the most
diligent search by the Kings house hold
failed in getting any tidings OF the
midnight warbler. On the seventh
night the tiny minstrel had returned,
and from some shrubbery i'm lonesome
nook in the grounds its flute-like notes
were heard echoing through the moou-
light, and giving Joy to the King, who

though the King waited long and
anxiously for its songs for many nights
after. "a, ..fs-.g 90 r..
And then in some mysterious manner
it came to the Kings ears that he had
