he would not be surprised If the streets

more respects than one, and 1t Is not al
together improbable that some blood
shed will follow the close of the lola
case, no matter what the end of 1t may
be. There Is one thing, though. about
which there can be no doubt, and that
is-sbould Count Esterhlzy's prediction
come true. his precious self will be far
away from the scene of conflict. No
man of his stamp need be looked to for
help in the time Of danger, He IL of the
class who after igniting the spark takes
exceedingly good care TO take himself

ment to prevent ii, this man Esterhazy
