which Prince Charles spent in writing
to the Emperors of Russia and France

also with erasing the marking of the
princes linen and reducing the bag
gage to the smallest limits.
The following day the prince OBJ
tanned his passports under the name
of Karl Hettingen, travelling On bust

quest a note was made on the docu-

paying duty on some cigars and so
diverted the intruder's attention until
the Odessa merchant refreshed his pee

the passport. After tedious journey,
during which he was continually ex-
posed to the danger of recognition by
persons whom he met and knew, Bas-

Joan Bratianu, who was to accompany

inquire why he should land here if he
wanted to go to Odessa. l replied that

King Charles of Roumania has pub
lished a book of "reminiscences which
have peculiar value to students of the
Eastern situation. 1t does not profess
to be philosophic nor even purely au-
Photographic, but just a record of the
struggle of his kingdom to lift itself
to a place among European nations,
and of the conflicting influences which
were applied in order to attain success.
The most interesting chapter in the
volume tells the story of pro-Semitic
agitation in the East, and the resist
ance to the Jewish demands for equal
rights. 1t was upon this question that
the Western nations, with high philan-
thropy, made such earnest protest, and

the estates, and that as universal pro-

While the sympathy of your milliner or

that "a woman can best understand

AS tar as known, there IS no regularly

The woman who loses this ideal, how

river during the early fall. They had
stopped at the Mission of the Holy Cross
for weeks and continued on until the
snow and the ice and the driving wind
of that world almost froze their marrow
They went into winter quarters at little
mining village, there to await the coming
of the summer. There had been other
people living in this mining camp, but
failure or the intense cold had driven
them to the more thickly settled sec
tons.
FATAL MORNING CAME.
Bitter quarrels, fierce jealousy infamed
the men of the party. Finally Bird sug-
gested that they separate, he and Norma
Strong would remain together The
woman, it appears, did not encourage
this plan. Besides, it was almost i'm
possible to separate, and, then again, all
had ownership in the common stores.
The fatal morning came. The five were
at breakfast. Bird took up his rife and,
with murder in his heart, left the others
seated around the campfire. Soon he was
hidden behind a snowdrift. He took care
full aim, fired.
Patterson fell back with a bullet in his
breast The others, the woman Shrek
ing, for she had not thought that her
wiles would lead to murder. jumped to
her feet and tried to run through the
snow
Bird pulled the trigger again Hurlin
fell dead, shot through the head.
For reasons that he only knows, Bird
had decided to spare Scheff1er. He came
from behind the pile of snow and point
ing his rife, now at him, now at the
woman, said:
Swear that you'll never tell word of
this or you'll join the others I'll kill you
too"
Of course both swore to keep the dread
ful secret. There lay the dead Hurlin.
It was necessary to bury him. The dis
patches received here do not state that
Bird took a hand in the awful task But,
surely he was there while Scheffler and
the woman dug a shallow grave in the
STOW and laid away his victim.
Full of remorse, the woman nursed
Patterson as best she could gave him all
the comforts possible. But man would
scarcely recover from such a wound If
he were in a hospital here. In few
days he died. Another frozen grave was
dug and he was laid away.
WOMAN BETRAYED HIM.
There the three survivors remained I'M
til summer came Bird did not regard
the youthful Scheff1er as a rival; perhaps
the woman considered Scheffier prey too
callew. Whether or not visions of his
victims haunted him. Bird seemed happy
with Norma Strong. The SHOWS melted,
