CHAPTER xxll.-tcon,inusd).


JUDGING from the splendor OF
that portion Of the palace
which she had seen, Miss
VI Hunt rather expected the
apartment or the king TO be
equally magnificent. but In this she
was disappointed.
The walls. which were distempered.
were absolutely bare except for maps.
On one side ran a long bookcase, on
the top OF which were neatly laid out
a number OF military accoutrements-
swords, spurs. and the like-while
there were also a number OF tin boxes.
which Miss Hunt concluded rightly
contained different military hats.
The polished floor was bare except
for a strip OF carpet, on which was
placed sQuarely large light-wood
American roll top desk On the right
hand OF the desk were two great filing
cabinets. and on the left a chair. to
which the king motioned Miss Hunt
lie himself swung around on his re-
yolving chair and adjusted his glasses
carefully. He looked her up and down
and through and through with the
chilly air OF a business man receiving
a somewhat doubtful visitor.
And the first words he spoke were
in perfect keeping with the ottice-like
surroundings in which his majesty
sat.
BE kind enough" he said, without
any preliminary speech whatever &c
explain your business with me-"
Looking at the kings hard face
Miss Hunts heart quailed. bat she
thought for a moment OF how Strong
would have dealt with the situation.
SO she plucked up smile and looked
steadily Back at the king.
That business" she said, lis a III
tie hard 10 explain"
Why" asked the king. And his
monosyllabic query was so discon-
certing In its abruptness that Miss
Hunt remained silent, while the king
drummed his fingers impatiently on
the desk. He disliked nervousness
and was in no mood TO allay Miss
Hunts.
III you will not explain your bust
ness" he said at length, almost rude
ly, perhaps you will be good enough
TO explain your interruption"
This stung Miss Hunt TO retort. and
the little sensation of anger which ran
through her gave her back her cour'
age.
II am afraid" she said TO the king
that my note may have somewhat
misled you. come. not from MI
Strong but about him"
The king narrowed his eyes.
"As matter OF fact" Miss Hunt
went on-and she was growing more
at her ease now may as well tell
you the plain truth; am here as the
special correspondent OF the Daily
Wireless"
"So?" said bis majesty. and / re-
e. II TO have 10 say this to a lady

concerning the administration or Presi-

that Roosevelt has done nothing" Is
insufficient and counts for naught. and
