CHAPTER xvlll.-(continued,.

IN1UT what brought the kings
Xxi heart well.nigh into his
Ih mouth, and the thought, quick
as a fash, that he had been
very near 10 and Just missed
the object OF his run TO Oxford,
was a wire from a correspondent In
the university town giving a pillow
mans story OF silver airship which
had swooped. as far as he could see
into the river just outside the city.
All this gave the king considerable
food for thought. and urged the ne
cessity OF immediate departure for
Bahama where he would be beyond
the possibility OF troublesome inquir'
les. But the fact that an airship. q
real. working airship. had made sud
den and mysterious appearances by
night was now public property to
some extent consoled him.
II would make Strong's task OF
keeping his secret To himself practic-
ally impossible; IL would place the
authorities on the Qui vive, and the
watchful eyes OF the secret police OF
all the world would soon be directed
upon Strong.
IL meant, he imagined. that things
must soon come 10 head, and ne
realized that Strong. as an English
man. would be under the necessity OF
placing his secret at the disposal OF
his own country. and therefore. he
reflected further. that, though he had
lost the uGe OF the airship himself. IL
would az least never be employed
against him.
But even men as astute as the King
OF Bahama make mistakes In their
calculations; not even the king could
conceive the astounding audacity OF
the counter-move with which Strong
replied to the unlooked-for and un.
welcome publicity.
Ii was, therefore, with consider
able weight lifted from his mind. that
the king entered his house in Park
ST on the eve OF his departure. He
went straight TO his own room, and
ordered Prince Ludwig TO accompany
him. He seated himself at his desk
with the air OF business man about
TO commence business transaction.
On his way through the hall he had
sent a servant to request the pres
ence of Diana.
Diana came into the room with in
terrogation in her eyes. Beloved AS
she was OF all her fathers servants.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Brave soldier heroes once again
We meet TO honor thee;
We linger near thy resting place,
Thy graves through tears We see
We mourn thy harsh. untimely death,
Thy terror and thy pain
When angry bullets filled the skies
And showered on thee like rain.
When we recall those dark war days,
Mist gathers in our eyes
Thank God. thy labor was not VAIN
Our freedom flag still nies.
O. loyal soldiers, thou hast fought
Bravely with sword and gun
In arbitration now we see
A higher step begun.
Our hearts shall sing aloud with Joy
When war and strife are Ger.
But sweeter shall thy song or praise
Ring from thy far-off shore.
Love shall illumine vet the lands
And peace shall reign supreme,
The din OF battle be forgot
Like an unlovely dream.
When things OF sense give way to soul
The battle drum must cease:
We know that thus alone can come
Eternal lasting Peace!
