Mr.. Bryan Never Smokes.

OF an insight one can get into mans
real character through the uncon-
Bcious testimony of his associates
And with no one is this more clearly
Illustrated than with William Jennings
Bryan. The organs belong TO what
they call the farmers club" In which
the social life in Normal centers. says
a writer In the July Delineator.
Through the winter they hold month
" meetings at the homes OF the mem
bers. They come In the morning
some so strong and stay till dark.
Each family brings a great basket and
there is spread the finest dinner you
ever ate; chickens. roasted and broil-
ed and fricassed. pies-mince and Gus
tard and pumpkin, and all the cakes
the diligent housewives can find In the
cook book. The women folks, when
they are done in the kitchen, gather
round the parlor stove with their sew
ing. Mrs. Bryan brings perhaps the
nightshirts she Is making for her hus-
hand. perhaps the stockings from the
family darning basket. The men get
ort to the barn and smoke and talk
OF tho value OF alfalfa and the destruc
lion OF gophers. Only there Is one
among them who doesn't require that
soothing mental stimulus. W"Uncle

must understand that every Journalist
has his ambitions. and It Ia one of
mine TO interview q royal princess on
purely domestic matters"
Possibly" replied his majesty,
dryly. but that interview will not be
secured in Bomberg."
BY this time the door had been
opened, and the officer OF the guard
| who had conducted Miss Hunt to the
kings apartments stood waiting I'M
passively on the threshold.
Have the goodness" the king said
TO him, ito see that this lady is con-
Quoted in safety TO her hotel.
Tell one OF the other officers" he
went on, ito relieve you for half an
hour or so. desire you to personally
conduct Miss Hunt back to her des.
tination."
The officer saluted and stood aside
for Miss Hunt TO pass. and then he led
the way along the passage.
While they were still traversing the
corridors OF the palace. Miss Hunt
said nothing. She was mortified. and.
to a slight extent, scared; she was
anxious. not for her own personal safe.
~. but anxious for the success OF her
mission. which now appeared doomed
TO failure. She seemed as far of de-
lirer4Hg her message to Diana as she
had been before.
AS she drove back TO the Grand no.
tel she glanced sideways at the officer.
He sat bolt upright. with an air of
stolid politeness. Miss Hunt judged
his face TO be both honest and kindly.
Therefore she made a sudden resolu.

CHAPTER xxli.-(contInued).

JUDGING from the splendor Of
that portion Of the palace
which she had seen, Miss
" Hunt rather expected the
apartment OF 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 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 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 fling
cabinets, and on the left a chair. TO
which the king motioned Miss Hunt.
| He 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
somewhat doubtful visitor.
And the first words he spoke were
In perfect keeping with the office-like
surroundings in which his majesty
| sat.
BE kind enough" he said, without
any preliminary speech whatever, TO
explain your business with me-"

Miss Hunts heart quailed, but she
thought for a moment Of how Strong
would have dealt with the situation,
SO she plucked up a smile and looked
steadily back at the king.
"That business" she said. is lit
tie hard TO explain"
Why" asked the king. And his
monosyllabic query was so discon'
certing in It's 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 -
IF you will not explain your busi'
ness" he said at length. almost rude
Fly. perhaps you will be good enough
TO explain your Interruption
