CHAPTER XXI.
The Little Man of Windsor.


There was nothing very awe inspir-
Ing in the sight of the plain, homely
looking little Dutchman walking under
the trees at Windsor; nor was there
anything more impressive in the figure
of the dumpy little woman who walked
by his side, but for all that Ellen got
down on her knees in the pathway as
the two figures approached her Lady
Carrington's example was followed pre-
cipitately by Sir Charles and Mistress
Deborah Slocum.
Hey" cried the little man blink
ing and peering at the three kneeling
figures, whom have we here?' His
eye ranged from Ellen to Deborah and
comprehended the baronet kneeling in
the background. His dull face lighted
with a glance of recognition. He knew
the army list by heart and most of the
officers appearing thereon, especially
those of any degree of rank or sta
ton.
Sir Charles Seton, is it not?' went
on the plain little man, land you are
a captain in the Sussex light infantry.
Rise, Sir Charles" he continued,
gravely, ''and you may present me to
these ladies, your companions"
Sir Charles, glad enough to be re-
leased from his uncomfortable posi-
ton, rose to his feet and stood at at
tention with a military salute. Then
bowling profoundly. he said:
Your majesty,"--for the little man
was no less person than King George
the Thrd-"this is the Countess of
Darlington, and this is Mistress Deb
orah Slocum of the-er-Massachu
setts Bay Colony"
"Of the state of Massachusetts, your
majesty" said Deborah, with great
spirit
MY affianced wife, your majesty"
continued Seton, hastily. hoping to
prevent an outbreak of wrath in his
majesty's mind at Deborahs contu.

a note of melancholy in his voice. you
Americans'-he choked little at the
word-"must now take the brave of
ficers of my army. Rise, Mistress Slo-
cum, and you, madam"
He extended his hand to Ellen, who
was nearest to him.
Poor Ellen, who had come upon a
desperate errand, to beg great gift
from the king, made no scruple about
kissing the monarchs fat and pudgy
hand ere she rose to her feet in obe-
dience to the kings indication.
Lady Darlington" continued royal
George meditatively. "let me see." He

THE ANTLHAskELL FORCES HAVE
ALREADY FURNISHED HIM
WITH DOPE.

Z. \. Hickey, a miner, a newspaper
man and a socialist from Globe. Ariz..
arrived in Ardmore last night and will
remain here until Sunday morning
Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights
he will speak at the Hamilton corner
on Main and Washington streets. lie
is a good speaker and doubuc 5 will

he does not know the political situa-
tion here yet, but he believes from
what others tell him that The social.
lists will show great gains here. The

"The country is full of socialist
speakers this year and where does the
money come from to pay them?'' was
a query put to Hickey. In reply he
said. "the socialists have a very fine
organization. There are socialist
locals everywhere. Each pays 25c
dues every month and there are now
$4,000 dues paying members. OF this
2jc five cents are sent TO state head
