SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS
CHAPTER 1.-The relations be
tween Graustark, small and isolated
principality, and Axphain, TO the north
and Dawsbergen, TO the south OF it,
have become strained. Prince Gabriel,
a half brother of the reigning prince
of Dawsbergen, imprisoned in Grau-
stark for the assassination of Prince
Lorenz, of Axphain. has escaped anu
seized the throne of Dawsbergen. Ak
phain demands the immediate recap
ture of the escaped prince. Princess
Yetive, of Graustark tthe wife of an
American, one Grenfall Lorry) who
has been sojourning in Washington,
upon the receipt of this news, leaves
for home. IT-Beverly Calhoun,
daughter of United States senator, is
an intimate friend of the princess.
She obtains the consent of her father
TO visit St. Petersburg. 1II-Attended
by guard of Cossacks, Beverly leaves
st. Petersburg for Graustark. while
passing through AXphain the Cossacks
hear that the Axphainians believe
their charge 10 be the Princess Yetive
and have laid plans to intercept the
coach. The terror inspired by this in
formation and the sound of shooting
cause the Cossacks and even the coach
man to abandon her. IVA troop of
ragged, half starved men emerge from
the mountain shadows. The leader,
who speaks English well, tells Beverly
that they are goat hunters. These
men believe that she is the Princess
Yetive and offer to escort her to the
borders of Graustark. This leads Bev-
erly to pose as the princess and accept
mountains. Reassured by their court
esy, Beverly dimes with the men. VI
In rescuing Beverly from a mountain
lion Baldos is accidentally shot by
Beverly, who has fired at the beast.
XII-Haste is now made toward the
Graustark frontier. The condition of
Baldos necessitates his riding in the
coach with Beverly. XIIl--On the
journey Baldos contracts high fever,
and the pseudo princess persuades him,
despite his strong objections, to enter
her domains for medical attention. AT
the frontier town of Ganlook, Beverly,
still posing as the princess, demands to
see Baron DangIoss, chief of police.
She is greatly surprised when the chic
tells her who she is. IX-Beverly in
duces Princes Yetive to issue an order
insuring safety to Baldos and his fol-
lowers. X-Beverly. with the royal
party, enters Edelweiss. XI-Count
Marlanx, the commander of the army,
promises Beverly to find place for
Baldos in the castle guards. Baldos
reluctantly accepts.

birth to daring that was as spectac-

closed door. and two hands clutching
handkerchiefs dropped from most

the room when Beverly entered eager

had christened 1t on one memorable
night long before the princess was

Now, how do you feel?" cried the
flushed American girl, pausing in the
door to point an impressive finger at
the princess, who was lying back In a
huge chair, the picture of distress and
annoyance.

Beverly, seating herself on the arm Of

the performance.

said Lorry, who was Immensely
amused.

mission.
From time to time this paper has
printed letters which took very lugu-.
br!ous views Of the powers OF the new
Interstate. Commerce Commission. Our
correspondents feared that the new com
mission would be a political Machine for
building the North it the expense OF
the South by discriminating rates. De-
spite these gloomy forebodings, Congress
passed the Interstate Commerce Com
mission law and the President signed 1t.
A more reasonable view would seem to
be that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, like the Supreme Court, will rep
resent the public attitude towards the
Interpretation OF the statutes which con-
troll the railways, IT is very important.
however, that $every section OF the coun-
try should be represented IN this body
in order that a fair expression may be
given to the views and needs OF all the
people, The duties OF an Interstate COM
merce Commissioner require not only high
legal qualifications. but naturally involve
wide experience In the details Of rates
and railway regulation. There Is no man
In tho South to-day who Is better quail
fed for such position than Mr.. Allen
! Caperton Braxton. Ills studies and his
experience In the law OF public service

ing the corporation laws OF Virginia un-
der the new Constitution. and his per-
sonal character. all 1T him aingulnrly Tor
this sort OF work. Without attempting to
dictate an appointment to the Interstate
\ Commerce Commission, there could GER
3talnly be no Improperly In bringing the
qualifications OF Mr.. Braxton toAthe at
tcntion OF President Roosevelt. The
Times Dispatch has not held any COM
munlcatlon with Mr., Braxton on this
matter, and we DO not know whether he
would consider such an appointment but
we are we'll assured that II he were to
accept a place on tho Interstate Com
mercc Commission he would lend o weight
OF value and experience To- that>body that
would be In the highest degree beneficial
to the entire country. IA
The new ratio bill provides that the
commission shall be Increased from tlye
to seven members, and that they shall
be appointed by the President OF the
United States TO serve seven years cactl,
The salary Of the members Is raised from
$500 to $4,000 per year. AS there are
five members on the commission now. the

excellent barometer OF, and very, often
