dictates to his wife, who is an expert
stenographer and lightning type

Bryan has taken down and typewriter
her husbands personal correspondence
and his speeches and editorials Mr..
Bryan Is rapid talker. 1t was neces-

systems, but found none suitable, Then
she proved what bright woman in
earnest can do by inventing short

tenn she can catch her husbands dicta.
ton word for word 1t is said that
there is only one other stenographer
who has been able to do that.
Mrs. Taft also is a true helpmeet to
her husband. She says that she is
old fashioned enough to believe that
woman Is the complement of man aud
that what is most feminine about her
Is most attractive to man and there

1T Is Il sure shot that the next mis-

the gracious lady herself be Mary or

That Is the question.
Voters of the nation must decide this

million will take this matter into

Perhaps in Colorado. Wyoming, Utah

some ballots will be cast for Mrs.
Bryan and Mrs. Taft, though ostensi-
bly, they will be for Mr.. Bryan and

country is concerned, mere man will
be ungallantly unconscious of the fact
that he is voting also for candidate
for first ladyship.
But 1t really doesn't matter which
woman wins, except to the respective
candidates and their friends. The
country will be safe and sound So

reassuring reports until the public
at large was SO reassured as to ask
for no more reports even of the

Etate of mind of the few people behiud

1coiie without warning. The secret was
well kept. but to those to whom he
spoke ut all hatcher spoke openly.
The kings life hung on a thread. which
Z the least accident might break. With
perfect quiet and tranquility he might
live Il year. possibly two years. Any
shock or overstrain would precipitate
the end. Countess Ellenburg and her
confidential friends knew this, the king
knew 1t himself. and Lepage, his valet.
knew It. There the possession OF the
secret stopped.
The king was gay and courageous.
Courage. ut least. he had never lacked

even designated princess Of most I'M
questionable exaltedness as the first
object of his sons attentions or pur-
suit. With an unusual peremptoriness
and an unusual independence he sent
Stenovics orders to communicate his
wishes directly to the prince. Stenovics
received the royal memorandum on the
day on which Lieutenant RastatZ re-
turned to Slavna with the fruits of his
observation at Volseni in his hand.
At first sight the kings commands
were totally at variance with the in

might be far away. Finally he might
go and yet take nothing by his Jour
ney. The exalted princess would be
hard to win. The kings family pride
might defeat itself by making him
pitch his hopes and his claims too high.
On the whole. the matter was diff
cult The three chief conspirators
showed their conviction Of this in their
characteristic ways. Countess Ellen
burg became more pious than ever;
General Stenovics more silent. at least
more prone to restrict his conversation
to grunts; Colonel Stafnitz more gay
and interested in life. He, too. was
fishing and in his favorite waters. and
he had hopes Of big rise.
There was one contingency impossi-
bic to overlook. In spite of his fathers
orders the prince might refuse to go.
A knowledge of the state of the kings
health would afford him very strong
excuse. a suspicion of the plans of the
coterie an overpowering motive The
king himself had foreseen the former
danger and feared its effect on his
dominant hopes. BY his express COM
mand the prince was kept in ignorance.
He had been amply treasured by DR..
Natcheff.- On the latter point the CO.
terie had, they fiattered themselves.
nothing to fear. On what ground. then.
could the prince Justify refusal? His
gunners? That would be unwarrant-
able. The king would not accept the
plea. Did Rastatz's report suggest any
other ground for refusal? If 1T did 1t
was one which to the kings mind
would seem more unwarrantable STILL
There is no big game without Its risk;
but. after full consideration. Stenoyics
and Stafnitz decided that the kings
wishes were in their interest and
should be communicated to the prince
without delay. They had more chances
for them than against them. If-their
game had It's dnngers-well. the time
might be very short
