There were deer and bear and

little time for hunting them, being
intent on driving the tunnel as rap

Lieutenant Lord Darlington" be-
gan Admiral Kephard severely, "the
hour Of your court-martial has arrived,
but before you appear in its presence
his gracious majesty has kindly
thought fit to see you in person. He
is here to receive you. to hear what
you have to say for yourself"
Admiral Kephard suddenly stepped
aside and disclosed little George sit

Little George had very heavy frown
upon his face and did his best to as
sumo godlike and menacing mein.
Darlington knelt at once. The king
looked hard at him

Lord Darlington bowed profoundly
but said nothing.
Have you nothing to say for your
self, sir?" continued the king.

Hey, What" cried King George.
Nothing, sir
You make love to another woman.
Cecily Darlington; you are ashamed
of your wife: you allow her to run

He bowed. To interrupt the king was
heinous offense. THave permission

You have been misinformed in one

the king. You cannot see her for the
present"
My lord was too proud to beg, yet
there was something else he could do.
There is something else. May l

how bitterly / have repented my fol-

others?"
