CHAPTER XII.
A kinu Is Lost,

Wearied by hours of suspense, days
of anxiety and nights of alarm, the
king of England sought relaxation. A
period Of disaster had reached it's cul-
mination where nothing much worse
might be predicted. Germany had
other occupations than those of aggres-
sion, and was now distraught in its
effort to find the missing ruler, from
whom no word had been received and
of whom no information had been OBJ
tained. The American dread had been
somnolent for days, and the first grief
for the loss of the great British fleet
had lost its poignancy. and was be-
coming only a bitter recollection to be
calmly discussed and 'speculated upon.
After weeks of storm and stress there
had come a lull in which England
waited for winds more kind.
London had lived so long in misery
that it had become callous, hardened,
and enveloped in an air of gloom, con-
ditions resembling those of that period
of terror which overspread it in the
great plague, but which led men by
work and pretense of gayety to seek
forgetfulness. Once more the music
halls opened, the theaters made their
announcements, signs appeared on the
boardings and old habits began in q
sort of half-hearted way to resume
their sway.
In this epoch of abnormality the at
1nosphere joined and sent upon the
huge city a June fog, which settled
down in the night, adding its black
ness to that of the hour. And through
it in quest. of relaxation rode Eng
lands king. On leaving the palace he
had no definite plan or destination;
but the glare Of the theaters lured and
beckoned insistently to their wealth OF
light and entertainment, and he
yielded.
His coming was unheralded, and at
tention was attracted to the presence
only when the manager. following
established custom, which for
babe the turning Of ones back upon a
king, preceded him with steady bows
to the royal box and took his place
beside the equerry while the visitor
entered. The hippodrome was to be
honored. Within the box the royal
guest seated himself behind the par

look out upon the bizarre performance
and feel himself near throng of per-

least in mere proximity to companion.

Labor Day OEatOIY.

Reading the political Journals
we find the politician and the can
didate in strong evidence in their
labor celebrations. The working
man was emphatically and fami-
liarly patted on the back, told
what a good fellow he was and
eff l can be of any service to
you or the cause of labor, if elect
ed all you will have to do is to
command me-" B t tie labor
ing man has heard that so often
that he has got wise, but wise to
his own interests. The two great
headlights of politics have shown
humorously all along the politi-
cal horizon, each trying to Guido
the other in lung power and for
ensic-hot air; each in his own
opinion, and to his own satisfac-
ton, having started the other
down the great political speed
way to the "demnition bow.
vows"
Not so the two Democratic
candidates (Shipman, for com.
missioner of Labor: and Lacy fol
State Treasurer) at Raleigh. No
a word of politics marked then
as politicians seeking the votes Of
their hearers. Shipman was
scholarly and logical; Lacy in
structive and witty. Boil
speeches were calculated to make
the listeners think, not to infam'
their political passions, t.
strengthen their personal or pol
itical animosity against eithe.
candidate or his party. Sucl

Miss Daily is dead!
Heavy clouds draped the whole
world in deepest mourning and
the solemn mountains hid their

And all the strange things which

The wide spreading eagle, the

The stars and the words with the

The coin of our fathers we are

Bartlett Wins

Reports received from the democratic
primaries throughout the state indicate
that Congressman Bartlett will have a
majority in the Tonopah convention.
He carried Tonopah and other precincts
in Nye county, but McCarren wired
from Tonopah Thursday that he had 81
out of the 81 delegates from Nye
county.
Bartlett gets almost a solid delegation
from Esmeralda county. He elected
his entire ticket in Goldfield and carried
IN ost of the other precincts of the
county.
Elko county as far as heard from is
pretty certain to give him out of the
10 elected. The three to be appointed
by the county committee will undoubt-
edly be for Bartlett.
Humboldt county as far as heard from
gives Bartlett solid delegation, while
in White Pine and Storey counties the
delegations are divided with Bartlett in
the lead
In Washoe county the delegation is
divided with Nc Carren in the lead.
Lyon, Lander, Eureka, Douglas and
Churchill counties are yet to hear from.
These counties are almost sure to give
Bartlett a large majority of their de-
legations.
The INDEPENDENT is much pleased
with the prospects for Congressman
Bartlett's denomination. His success
at Tonopah will be a SPLENDID victory
of the law and order forces. His de-
feat by McCarren on his platform of
lawlessness would be a disgrace to the
party and burning shame to the state.
