CHAPTER XLII,
Prince TuDert'S Ring,

While events We're moving rapidly
outside, time at Longdean Grange
seemed to stand stil.The dust and the
desolation We're ever there, the gloom
brooded like an evil spirit. And yet it
was but the calm before the storm
that was coming to Danish the hoary
old speclres for good.
Still, Enid felt the notony to be as
maddening as ever. There were times
when she rebelled passonately against
the solitude of the place. There We're
moments to her when it seemed that her
mind collln't stand the strain much
longer.
But she had hope. that blessed legacy
to the sanguine and the young. And
there We're times when she would creep
out and see Ruth Gates, who found the
Nottingham Road very convenient fo-
cycling just now. And there was al
ways the anticipation of telephone

eLhone had been established so that the
household could be run without the in
trusion Of strangers and tradesmen. 1t
had seemed a great anomaly at the
time, but now Enid blessed it every mo-
ment of the day. And she was, per-
haps, not quite SO unhappy as she
deemed herself to be. She had her low

The sun struggled in through the dim,
dusty panes; the nonotonous voice of
Mrs. Henson droned in the drawing
room. 1t was what Williams called one
of the unhappy lady's days" Some
times she was quiet and reasonable, at
other times the dark mood hung heav-
lily upon her. She was pacing up and
down the drawing room, wringing her
hands and whimpering to herself. Enid
had Slipped into the grounds for lit
tie fresh air; the house oppressed her
terribly to-day. The trim lawns and
blazing flower beds were a pleasant
contrast to the misery and disorder Of
the house.
Enid passed on into the shadow Of the
plantation. A little farther on, nearer
the wall, the dogs seemed to be excited

made that the magazines of nearly all
the forts upon the New England coast
are damp and unfit for use. 1t is not
likely that these shore defences will
ever be required to repel invaders, but
of what use is a citidel in which the
first maxim of successful aggression
OF of formidable resistance Is constant

is an interesting study as an expert
ment in colonial government, but com
pares unfavorably with the freer ideas
based on autonomy. adopted by Great
Britain. Its leading feature is the
almost autocratic power conferred on
the king, who is controlled neither by
councillors nor parliament. Legisla.
tive power is exercised by royal de.
cree, and the king controls the civil
and military services, the administra.
ton of justice, and taxation.

The estimate that the population OF

will reach a total of 100000 at the
end of the first 10 years of this CEN
fury has a rounded fulness which may
puff American pride unduly. 1t may
be prudent to moderate the screams OF
the eagle and not to count too many
chickens years in advance. Some OF

amazingly. In fact, we grow so fast
