that there are 70 as in June. If you will look at the annual report
Of the academy you will see that in 1907 there were ~ vacancies, in 1905
there were a like number, in 1904 there we're 56, in 1908 the number
was SO, in 1902 it was go, in 1901 there we're but Is vacancies, and in
1900 there were 143 vacancies.
The young officer entering the army has good pay. He receives
$11667 a month. This is more than the average of graduates from Yale
and Harvard get in their first years out of college. 1t is enough, too,
for all needs in army life if the young fellow has good common sense.
Of course, if he is going to graduate from the academy one day and get
married the next he sets in for a hard time.
/ would rely OH three things for a permanent army in this country.
First, we should have the regular army. Then there should be we'll
trained reserves in the states, say three regiments in all the larger states
like New York, Pennsylvania, and similar states. These reserves should
be part of the National Guard, but specially 7 aimed men-bachelor
regiments ready to come forward at the first sound of war. They should
be fine marksmen and exceptionally well drilled men, developed under
the best available bachelor officers from the regular army and the National
Guard. Then there should be the National Guard as a third element Of
strength. With a regular army of at least $4,000 available men, and a
reserve from the states of $4,000 more to go to the front in case of war,
every immediate demand of any emergency would be met, and meanwhile
the volunteers and National Guard would be forming in even larger
strength to make up the needed army for further operations. That is
the way this country will probably for all time meet its military necessi-
ties, and it is the logical and sensible way.
The whest thing that has been done in many years has i6cn the pro-
vision of target ranges in the states and regular practice for the National
Guard in rife firing. l tell you that when you get a man to understand
a gun and know how to fire it effectively he is nine-tenths a soldier.

pleasure or becoming addicted to practices that destroy health and char
acter-that is the problem OF the young men.
Experience shows that we can do little with a man after habits are
formed, and they are formed early, so that the young man problem be-
comes the problem of the boy. What we must try to do is not so much
to reform the young man of the present, although We are to do what
we can in this direction, but to train to-day the boy who will be the
young man of tomorrow. This training must be in three directions.
First, it must be moral training. The boy should be taught rever-
ence for God and humanity, respect for law, human and divine, scrupu-
lous honesty, fairness and fidelity.
There must be more manual training. Every boy should be taug1t
some form of handiwork, the use of tools, SO that he can get a living
by his hands if need be, developing the constructive faculties and keep
ing employed in the things that interest him.
Our boys should be trained in cvics that they may be prepared for
the duties of citizenship. While they are in their teens they should
know what their city is trying to do and how it proposes to do it. They
should become interested in problems of transportation and lighting, of
sanitation and tenements, should know what other cities are doing and
wherein we should follow or make plans for ourselves. Every boy should
be taught to look forward to participation in public affairs IS soon as he
comes of age. He should take all the pride in his city that the Greek
victories of peace as the young Roman was in military triumphs.

not be a good scheme to tell a straight

appeal to the officer that he was a cow

the princess.

went on the colonel; 81 simply affirm
that you are a German, even to the

AS far away as yonder stars! 1t was

live in.
Now, then, forward" cried the
colonel to his men, and they set off at

From time to time, as a sudden twist

was O relic of the Middle Ages, with

ers eyed him curiously. He might
laugh later. but 1t was scarcely prob
able. A tramp through a dark corridor
and they came to the west wing of the
castle. 1t was here that the old prince
lived, comfortably and luxuriously
enough, you may take my word for it.
A door opened, flooding the corridor
with ligSt Max felt himself gently
pushed over the threshold. He stood
in the great llving-room of the modern
Doppelkinns. The first person he saw
vas the princess. She sat on an orien-
tai divan. Her hands were folded; she
sat very erect; her chin was tilted
ominously; there was so little express
sion on her pale face that she might
have been an incompleted statue. But
Max was almost certain that there
was Just the faintest flicker of a smile
In her eyes as she saw him enter.
Glorious eyes! ut is a bad sign when
a man begins to use the superlative
adjectivesD
The other occupant of the room was
an old man, fat and bald, with a nose
like a russell pear. He was stalking
II 1t is possible for a short man to

room. and, judging from the sonorous,
rumbling sound, vas communing half
aloud. Between whi!es he was rubbing
his tender nose, carefully and lovingly.
When a mans nose resembles a russell
pear 1t generally is tender. Whoever
he was, Max saw that he was vastly
agitated about something.
This old gentleman was Tor sup
posed he was) the last of his line, the
Prince of Doppelkinn, famous for his
wines and his love of them. There
was, so his subjects said, but one ten

and that was the memory of the wife
OF his youth. (How the years. the good
and bad, crowd behind us, pressing us
on and on!) However, there was al
ways surcease in the cellars-that Is,
the Doppelkinn cellars.
"Hal" he roared as he saw the
blinking Max. so this is the fellow!"
He made an eloquent gesture. Your

your good taste. The fellow isn't bad

kind of secondary stable. The men
dismounted.

colonel, with a hooking bow. He
pointed toward a broad stone staircase.

The colonel beckoned for them to step

Is a carriage for the convenience of

Max often wondered why he did not
make a dash for 1t, or a running fight.
What he had gone through that night
was worth a good fight.
"Good-by," said the princess, hold
ing out her hand.
S~charfenstein gravely bent his head
and kissed 1t.
"Good-by, Prince Charming!" she
whispered, so softly that MAJ scarcely
heard her.
Then she entered the closed carriage
and was driven up the dark, tree-en-
shrouded road that led to the Castle of
Doppelkinn.
What are you going to do with
me?" Max asked, as he gathered up the
reins Of his mount.
