Washington, d. c.. May China

Partly to sustain the Chinese claim

also to secure the ''open door," the
State Department early in the Japan

kow, Mukden and Dalny. During the
progress of hostilities it was not pos

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS
CHAPTER 1.-The relations be-
tween Graustark, a small and isolated
principality, and Axphain, to the north
and Dawsbergen, to the south of it,
have become strained. Prince Gabriel.
half brother of the reigning prince
of Dawsbergen, imprisoned in Grau-
stark for the assassination of Prince
Lorenz, of Axphain. has escaped ana
seized the throne of Dawsbergen. AK
phain demands the immediate recap
ture of the escaped prince. Princess
Yetive, of Graustark (the 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. III-Attended
by guard of Cossacks, Beverly leaves
st. Petersburg for Grausrark. while
passing through Axphain the COssacks
hear that the AXphainians believe
their charge 70 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
the offer. V They camp in the
mountains. Treasured by their court
esy, Beverly dimes with the men. VI
In rescuing Beverly from 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 Dangloss, chief of police.
She is greatly surprised when the chief
tells her who she is.

the ties of international cooperation

That eruptive and seismic disasters
have afflicted places In those regions
will not deter us very much, for one
has abundant faith that it is not going

our people are locating directly in

The region is not very far away. A

tains, torrential rivers, clear, splashing
brooks and deep blue seas.
Why should one think OF earth
quakes? My own experiences with them
have happily been free from scenes of
death; yet the coming Of an earthquake
Is SO sudden, SO wildly terrible, that the
stoutest hearts must quail. Even wild
animals shrink with fear, and one is
always filled with dread bordering on
terror. 1t Is all so sudden. A sense
Of some unknown fear pervades all ma

caught its breath and held all life an
instant in suspense, while sounds seem
to beset ones nerves rather than to
assault the ears. Then comes a reel

fear, and human crying out, and then

destruction, or, it may be, by sound
like great signing and the earth set

excited people find their voices, be-
wildered faces CLEAN with intelligence
and every one is talking, comparing ex-
periences, wondering what it was,

experiences with earthquakes In the
