A VISITOR SHOWN
 MOUNTAIN SCENERY
The Snowman Himself Had Never
 Seen it Before.

Every man who returns from Roose- welt believes that his life would not have been complete without that trip but if he is inclined to nervousness he does not care to make the journey the second time. The route is rather scenic. It is through one of the best mountain routes in the world, so men of experience say.
 F.. w. Lewis has been to Roosevelt. Now he is content To continue in the peaceful practice of the law and make no further interference with the TontO or any other reclamation project
 MT Lewis brother is visiting him MT. Lewis who had never gone over the route undertook to show him some of the wildness of mountain scenery and so took him to Roosevelt. At Mesa he was misdirected to Frazier's and at seven o'clock at night he and his brother found themselves climbing uo Fish Creek hill That is they were climbing up and down alternately fo: there is no steadiness of direction Tn that immediate locality The way is said to be up" for the reason that the farther one goes the higher he gets in the aggregate or on the average un- til he begins to go down" which is accomplished also by going alternately up and down.

DIDN'T SEE ROOSEVELT.

MT Bodawitz of Ardmore, l. T., a prosperous merchant, will have his name preserved in the pages of history as the only person who has ever de- clined to meet the president of the Un- ited States when 1t was the easv and natural thing to do. MT. Bodawitz wenr to Washington to file charges against an applicant for a federal job. He sue ceeded in knocking out his man and while calling at the white house Sec retary Loeb asked him if he would not like to see the president. MT. Bodawit2 looked at his watch and replied: Tt is now 12 o'clock and I have an appoint ment over at the Arlington in three minutes" Couldn't you drop around in the morning." asked Secretary Loeb when he had caught his breath, No" replied MT. Bodawitz, 'I am going down to Mount Vernon in the morning and will take the z o'clock train tor the west" MT Bodawitz simply did not have any curiosity to see the presi- dent and no reason to believe that the president wanted to see him.

punishment hardly sufficient" The King rose

and make me comfortable
Lepage did not offer his arm. He was not look

his ears were for General Stenovics Stenovics
rose now and pointed his finger at Lepage.

The King rang his bell impatient1y Il want
my draft again I'm very tired. Is there any
thing else which need detain us to-day"
As he spoke, before Stenovics could answer,
Lepage came in with the draft: The valet wore
even unusually demure and uninterested ex-
preston.
There is one other matter sir" said Stenovics
The King paused in the act of drinking and
listened with his glass in his hand, Lepage standing
beside him.
Your Majesty just now impressed on us the need
of secrecy as to what passes between these walls.
| think sir, you would insist on the same thing
with all who you conhdentally. You haven't
asked, sir, how the Prince became aware of the
state of Your Majestys health
The King started little. mo, I forgot that.

Stenovics kept his eyes the King Markart
and Stafnitz allowed themselves to study Lepage's

"Natcheff?" exclaimed the King.
Certainly not, sir; another This man, of whom

went by night to the house of NJ. Zerkovitch who
is as YOU are aware close friend and if nay,use
the word, an adherent of the Prince of Slavna.
Their interview took place between nine and ten
last night. At eleven Zerkovitch having borrowed
horse from the Princes stables out for Praslok
He rode hard through the night and reached the

hours of the morning. There he had interview
with the Prince. He left Praslok between six and

Majesty to say how far his disobedience in regard

CHAPTER XIV.
His Majesty Dies-To-morrow

rT1HE Kings ambition and pride had qu1vered
l. under the threat of a cruel blow; the charge
against Lepage wounded him hardly less deep
1y. He regarded his body-servant with the
trustful affection which grows indoent man
in of years-of countless days of consulting,
trusting, relying on one ever present, ready,
always trustworthy. Lepage had been with him
nearly thirty years; there hardly a secret of
the Kings manhood which he had not known and
kept. At last had he turned traitor? Stenovics
had failed to allow for this human side of the
ter: how much more alone the revelation would
make the King feel how much more exposed and
helpess-just, too when sickness made his inval-
liable servant more indispensable still. A forlorn
dignity filed the Kings simple question: Is it
true, Lepage?"
deeply moved. The sense of guilt was on him-of
guilt against his master-it drove him on, beyond
ITSELF to fierce rage against those who had goaded
him into his disobedience, whose action and plans
had made his disobedience right. For right now
he believed and felt it, his talks with Zerkovitch
had crystalzed his suspicious into confident GER
tainty. He was carried beyond thinking of what
effect his outburst might have on his fortunes
how it might distress the already haTaSSed King.
He struck back hercev at his accuser all his national
quickness of passion finding vent in the torrent of
words he poured forth in excuse or justification.
He spoke his native French quickly, one word
iostlng over another his arms flying ike windmls
and his hair bristing, it seemed, with defiance
Yes it's true, sir. | disobeyed Your Majesty
