Won Altdorf. And may the devil take

As the tragedy told on Thursday morn
ing, 1t was nation against a woman"
The princess regains her health. is
told of her marriage. and demands to
see her husband. 1t IS this plight that
Mackenzie and Won Altdorf are trying
TO rlear up when Creighton comes to
their relief with the suggestion that a
gallant but dissolUte young Irishman.
Denis Mallory, be employed to imper-
senate Prince Karl. Mallory, being
drunk, engages to do this, his ardor for
the part growing stronger when he
learns the princess In the plot is lady
with whom he has already fallen in love.
King Carol, having grown tired of the
situation at court, complicates matters
/ by coming TO Paris, to the CONSERVATION
OF the three friendly schemers. He
fights a duel with Denis, and then. since
the latter helps to frustrate a plot
formed by emissaries of the Pavelo-
witches TO kidnap the princess, Denis
and the King become sworn friends
While they are rejoicing over this es-
cape and the King is awaiting fresh de
lvelopments. Won Altdort receives such a
message from Noyodnia as might have
been sent from the real Belgrade any
day recently. This is the telegram:
Premier Alone Faithful.
'Georgias reported moving toward No
vodnia. Makarin, already taken. used as
base of supplies. Great excitement in
! Novodnia. Ministry resigned this morn
ing Premier alone faithful to Prince
Karl Populace divided in sentiment.
but the Paveloviteh element grows in
numbers. Prince loudly denounced for
prolonged absence. Life Guards faith
full, but army uncertain. Rioting In
streets. Marshal Sbolin shot at while
driving from palace"
Then Won Altdorf breaks out with such
an appeal as any Servian minister might
have made to King Alexander:
There's the country that your father
bequeathed you. sir. and this is vhat
you have made it. Aye. you, sir, I've
served you faithfully. Prince Karl, ami
shall serve you till you or / die, but.
! I'll tell you the truth, by heaven. You
! have brought this upon Novodnia. and
you'll answer for 1t at Gods throne. Had
you stayed where your duty lay, Geor-
gias would be hiding in the mountains
now, not marching toward Novodnia
Great God. can nothing rouse you?
Nothing?"
There is striking similarity to Tie
reproaches against the SerYian King by
his people in the coloneTs bitter taaat
when King Carol pleads for the princess
AYE, the princess!' cries Colonel Won
| Altdorf Always the princess, and
never the trust God has given you, Are
you prince, sir, or a lover of women =?
Tell me that"
The King and Denis Mallory go back
10 Novodnia, a revolution takes place
and Won Altdorf. who is still in Paris
gets news of affairs there. This is the
story he tells to Creighton:
"Georgias and his forces made an un-
expected attack upon the capital after a
night march. The garrison turned color
and Joined them. even the Life Guards,
al but a few. The prince-the prince
was killed upon the steps of the palace
surrounded by dozen officers and faith
full men, Denis Mallory among them.
1t is certain that the prince is dead
and that CzerowitZ and the marshal are
dead also. Denis Mallory fell across
the body Of the prince. who he had been
shielding. A young lieutenant OF the
Guards escaped and fed to Belgrade.

Georgias' movement had been inspired

blythe White Throne, and that Novod-
MIA is to be-to be wiped of the map
included within the Bulgarian bound
aries. There is no more Novodnia. It's
a Bulgarian province. That-that is
all"
w T Stead has written two or three
interesting stories of the Belgrade
tragedy. and has commented on the pre-
dictions Of clairvoyants who saw the
murder OF the King and Queen. One pre-
diction was made at Mr.. Stead's table by
Mrs. Burchell, who was guest at
dinner. This case is capped by another
prediction taken down IN writing as far
back as the beginning of last year in
which a clairvoyant in Africa saw and
described the same bloody crime. In
neither case did the clairvoyant give
the name OF the King or the place. They
described the King and were horror
stricken at the vision OF the massacre.
