King Edward of England possesses
great power, theoretically. Strictly
and legally speaking, the whole of the
mineral wealth of the empire is his
maJesty's property, as is also. for that
matter, every acre of ground that COW

every Jail in Britain by stroke of his
pen and keep them empty so long as
ne chose to go on exercising to the
full his prerogative of pardon. A word
from him and the present parliament
would cease to be. 1t is as the su.
preme head of the navy and army,
however, that his autocratic power is
most apparent. He can order one or
both to make war He can dress his
soldiers and his sailors as he pleases.
arm them how he likes. He could dis.
band every regiment, and send to the
scrap heap every ship. Sometimes.
too, he wields this power, up to Ger.

the office of commander-in-chief. By
the simple eXpedient of a royal war

Not a bit of 1t. To tell you the
truth, it's not my goodness at all, but
James"
II came to have chat with you,
you know, and lin glad to find you
alone" said Dick.
"Ye-es?"
IT'S about my new story" explained
Warburton diffidently.
Yes" continued the author with in
creasing confidence, it'll be the best
story I've every written--if you'll help
me-
81 don't understand"
will you collaborate with me, Miss
Murray"
'I?" Ethel opened her blue eyes in
well-feigned amazement. Really, Mr..
Warburton.'
Miss Murray, you, with the expert
ence you have had could do so much
for me. You see, it is like this" ex-
planned Warburton eagerly, "a man
has got to ask a girl to be his wife,
and"
Il don't see the necessity" inter-
rupted his companion.
Il am speaking of the characters in
my new book" returned the author,
with some dignity, but, of course, if
you refuse TO treat the subject seri-
ously-"
Il beg your pardon. Please go on;
| won't interrupt again"
We'll, then, as 1 said before, the
man has got to propose to the girl,
and l want your advice as to how he's
going to do It,"
The girl knit her brows in perplex-
ity.
Such lot depends on how long
they've known each other" she said
at last Are they old friends, and has
she seen it coming?"
"Well-I--as to that, / don't think
I've made up my mind yet"
How extraordinary! Then you've
not really begun the story at ALL"
"Oh, yes; that is, lin busy col.
lecting material, thinking out strong
situations and all that kind of thing,

ly-"if she's a very ordinary sort of
person. You see, it's not so simple as
1t sounds to refuse a man."
We'll, never mind about the re-
fusals. What | want to get at is"
Then there's the case of two peo-
pie who are old friends Miss Murray
went on hurriedly. THAT makes a
proposal so much more complicated.
In the first place it'll take the man
much longer to come to the point,
and the girl will know how to ward
off the crisis in all sorts of ways; and
then, when he does come to the point,
she'll find it rather troublesome to
convince him that her answer is final.
OF course added the speaker thought
stranger as we'll Men always do
seem hard to convince that woman's
No doesn't mean Yes
Miss Murray looked innocent mysti-
fed.
You see, what I am really anxious
to know" explained the author, with
some difldence, 'is how woman
marriage"
"Oh!" said Ethel, in the tone of
one who had never considered that
side of the question. I'm afraid l
can't be of much help to you there."
Don't say that, Miss Murray"
IF you remember, Mr.. Warburton,"
said his companion slowly, you asked
70 af atn a
ence;' those were your very words"
II believe they were," he admitted.
VERY well, then" continued Ethel,
with great deliberation, my expert
ence is limited to refusals."
You mean you have never ac-
cepted--"
Never" replied Miss Murray firmly.
Tn delighted to hear it,"
"Mr. Warburton!"
II mean I'm very sorry indeed"
oh, Thank you"
Il beg your pardon; didn't
mean that either. OF course I-nat-
urally, I'm disappointed: had hoped
so much from your help. Don't you
think, Miss Murray, you could imagine
Ni Va maj idbe WHICH IL WOulu
be possible for you to accept?"
The author had risen from his chair
and was looking down upon his COM
panion with an expression on his face
that was new to her.
For moment Ethel returned his
gaze, then her blue eyes sank before
his.
DO you think you could imagine
such an offer?' he repeated softly.
Ethers lips parted in little smile.
It's very difficult" she whispered
with crimson cheeks; its very diff
cult to accept an imaginary offer of
